On a nice warm night in Atlanta, Georgia, a man juggles a soccer ball on a soccer field next to a public playground. Right about now back home in Boston it would be freezing cold and most likely snowing. It is nice to have a change every now and then. He definitely enjoys this change because it allows him to play soccer year round outside and not have to worry about the cold weather. Even with all the warmth though, he did miss home. He misses the city of Boston and he misses all the Boston sports. He finds himself down in Atlanta though because he is getting ready for the new season of TNB wrestling. There is one thing though that does make him happy and that is the Atlanta Falcons. Even though he is from Boston, he is an Atlanta Falcons fan along with the New England Patriots. It is weird, yes he knows but it doesn’t matter to him at all. He grew up a fan of both. There is no stopping with what you grow up with.
The sun is beginning to set but that doesn’t stop him. He continues to shoot the ball at the open net. He is actually surprised that no one else is around besides the couple kids playing tag in the park. Maybe it is time everyone begins retreating to their homes for dinner. Dinner, he can never forget his mother’s Spaghetti and handmade Meatball’s. His mother is part Italian so she has had the family recipe that has been passed on from generation to generation. He has to stop thinking about it because it will only want him to have it more and he knows that it’s not going to happen. He tried to make it one day and it turned out a disaster. He burnt the spaghetti and the meatballs were just plain disgusting. He knew he should have learned to cook. It’s alright though because he is trying and one day he will get that recipe down. All this thought has made him hungry. He didn’t know what to eat though. He picks up his soccer ball off the ground and jogs over to his bag on the bench. He takes his Nike sneakers out of his bag and shoves the soccer ball inside. He takes a seat next to his bag on the bench and begins removing his soccer cleats from his feet. As he is doing so, another person walks up behind him.

The man was Scott Manor dressed in jeans and hoodie with the sleeves rolled up. He places his hand on the back of the bench and bends down breathing heavy to catch his breath. After some heavy breathing he sees a guy taking cleats off of his feet, but doesn't notice the soccerball in the bag.
You play football or something? Or are you one of those guys working for the dirt sheets looking for the inside scoop? If you are I already told the last ones I saw that I wasn't giving out comments.

Nah man, I’m a soccer player. Well I guess if we were over in Europe it would be futbol. So in a way I guess I can say that you are right wit’ that one.
It is nice to finally meet some in the state of Georgia. Ryan normally isn’t the kind of person who would openly go up and talk with people. He is more on the shy side when it comes to talking. Though, once he knows you, he becomes quite the speaker. He has always been like that since he was little and he just can’t seem to snap out of the shy type of personality he has. Someday though, someday he will break through that barrier and become more outgoing.
You alright man? You seem like you are having a hard time breathing. Did you just come from a run? By the way, I’m Ryan.

Manor takes some more deep breaths. Dirt sheet reporters, stirring up trouble for me or wanting comments on whether I'm returning to wrestling, what I'm doing, blah blah blah. Some more deep breaths. They can be really annoying. Manor stands up straight finally getting his breath back. I'm Manor. So you from around here or visiting?

Yeah being harassed pretty much for comments can get very annoying. I’m sure it’ll all go away real soon though Manor.
He finally finishes taking his cleats off and putting on his Nike sneakers. Once the cleats were in the bag, he zips it up and tosses it on his right shoulder. He returns his attention to Manor who did ask him a question about what he was doing here. He kind of ignores him for a second as he stands up. Hmm, that seems rude to ignore a simple question. He quickly replies after noticing this.
My apologies man about not answering your question. I’m actually from Boston but I recently came down here to Atlanta ‘cause there is this wrestling business called the TNB that I have an interest in joining. You did mention something about wrestling before. You know anything about that place? I know, it’s sad that I don’t know much information about a wrestling business I am joining.

Manor thinks for a moment. I heard some rumors about old has-beens returning to the ring here. Some guy who calls himself Maniac and another Shia or Storm or something like that. Manor pauses again to think. I can't imagine what's up with all these dinosaurs from that era still wrestling or why it seems like all of them have face paint. I mean it doesn't even seem like they have a reason for their face paint. Not me though. I prefer to use my real name and the stuff I wear is all because it's who I am if you know what I mean.

Yeah man I hear what you are trying to say. You just wanna be who you are and show that by using your real name and coming down to the ring or wrestling in whatever makes you feel comfortable the most. I’m kinda’ the same way. I will be using my real name in the TNB. Tights may not be the most comfortable article of clothing to wear while wrestling but it’s aight with me and doesn’t bother me at all which is why I wear tights when I wrestle. Plus it makes me feel more loose for some reason ha ha.
He stops speaking for a moment because he feels as if he is getting to the point where he starts rambling off random things. After a moment of silence, he speaks out to Manor again.
Aight Manor it is cool to meet you and everything but I’m starving and it’s time that I get myself some grub. You know any good places around here? I don’t wanna end up spending money on food that isn’t tastes gross. I need something good like a burger or a steak.

Manor thinks for a moment with a smirk. Jeans all the way for me. Tights just feel way too tight where jeans are looser. Maybe shorts if I'm feeling bold and like showing some skin. Manor lets out a laugh.
Anyways, you're in a city in America. I'm sure there's a fast food joint on like every corner maybe two on some corners. Manor lets out a chuckle. There's also probably whatever hotel you're staying at. Personally I'm fond of the chicken and bacon sandwiches at Burger King. Another pause before continuing. But, I haven't been back in Atlanta in a long time, so you're probably better asking one of the locals. Even if I knew a good place I couldn't tell you how to get there. But I'm sure I'll see you later in the ring and you can tell me if you found a good place.
With that Manor begins to walk away from Whyte and a kid runs up to Manor. Hey you're Maniac. Can I have your autograph? Manor looks back at Whyte assuming he heard who the kid said he was. Sure. One quick one can't hurt. Manor signs the quick autograph, then walks off smirking to himself wondering if Whyte heard the kid.

He watches as a kid walks up to Manor and asks him for an autograph. A look of surprise appears on his face as the kind mentions the name Maniac. Where did he hear that name before? The guy told Ryan that his name was Manor.
Maniac?
All of a sudden it hit him. He was just speaking to THE Maniac. Scott “Maniac” Manor. It is weird how he didn’t notice who he was right off the bat. That is probably the reason why Manor looked back at him and smirked before walking away. Ryan knew from that point that he needs to get more information about the TNB. He needs to know who the current wrestlers are, what is going on for the 2011 season, and he also needs to read up on the history of the TNB as a whole. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to become a star in the TNB.
Damn, I got mad work to do before the new season starts.
He shakes his head and begins walking up the same road Manor took just a few moments ago. Just about three blocks up, he finds a small bar that is still open. Nice, now he can get himself some grub and also have a few cold ones before retreating back to the hotel room. He pushes the down open and steps inside.
