Journey continues (O2Anyone)

[Tavis Knight]

Travis Knight comes out to a big reception from the fans. Travis nods to the crowds reaction, and high fives the fans on the way to the ring. Given a microphone on his way to the ring.

Goosebumps.

He asks the camera who's in the middle ring with Travis to close in arm to show the goosebumps on my arm.

I get chills hearing the response that I was given from you all. Reminds me why I'm doing this, and never loose my sight of where I am from.

Now with that said, my first two matches have something I will be able to tell my kids about later on my life. Not the end result, but who I was facing. Yeah I'm talking bout Brent Starr.

"Starr!" chants

That man.

Last week he said that if he didn't win against me, possibly wondered if he should be still doing what he is doing. And my response to that? I'd say that everyone in that locker room would love to see in a wrestling ring for many years to come. I was surely on the ropes in the two matches I have had, and don't see an old man or someone who should hang it up at all. You still got it. Trust me.

"YOU STILL GOT IT!" chants.

As for me, my journey is just beginning. I'm looking for my next match against in the back. Who knows. If Brent wants to go again, I'm all for it. But if not, I welcome any opponent out there.


Cut off by the sound of music

[Vincent X. Toriano]

*It was my theme music that ended up cutting off Travis. As I stand behind the curtain, I can hear some of the fans chanting my name. Wow, two matches under my belt and I have people chanting my name. I must be doing something right here in the I:W for that to happen fairly quickly. I emerge from backstage to the cheers from the crowd. It definitely feels great. This time down to the ring I am not in my wrestling attire but normal street clothes. I am wearing the typically blue jeans, t-shirt, and boots on my feet. After walking down the ramp, I enter the ring and signal for a microphone. I pace around the ring for a moment trying to decide what to say.*

"Before I say anything about tonight I would like to thank Kyle Nobbs for a great match last week. He is a great competitor and it was a honor to go one on one with him in the ring. If Kyle ever wants another match then I for sure will accept."

*The crowd applauds after my statement. It was an awesome match indeed and I was glad to have won my second match in the I:W. I do hope that I get another match with Kyle Nobbs somewhere down the line.*

"Travis Knight! What's up? Here is another new superstar here in the I:W that is making an impact. He has beaten Brent Starr not once, but twice in two weeks. That is no easy feat. I know everyone here knows Brent's track record and well it's one full of achievements. Brent is someone that I would also like to step into the ring with at some point in my career as well. There are so many competitors out there that I would like to get in the ring with, but I have to wait for that time to come. I have to work hard and at some point, those matches will come. Tonight, though, Travis does not have an opponent and I do not either. You are challenging anyone in the back and well here I am. Two rookies who are having a good start going head to head. What do you think of that Travis?"

*It's still kind of awkward with me speaking on the microphone. It's going to take me some time to get used to the who thing. I may be getting better, but I'm not entirely sure. I lower the microphone down by my side and look in the direction of Travis. He looks are if he is contemplating the match. This will be a great match if he does stick with it. Suddenly, he lifts the microphone to his lips and I listen to him speak.*

[Tavis Knight]

And you never know, this could be a start of something big. With each other being rookies here. Have nothing but respect for anyone who can stand in the ring, and do what they do every night.

Even though this is still a start for both of us. Four wins, two each.

You got to face of the best high flyers ever to grace the wrestling ring in Kyle Nobbs. Just like how you were saying about facing Brent Starr. Something I'll never forget no matter where my career goes. I'd like to face Kyle Nobbs some point in my career. Thinking about it now. If i had my choice of wrestlers that I'd love to face in this ring at least once.

Ryan Whyte comes to mind because he was just like us. Being the rookie last year, and rose to the top of the business. A former I:W Gladiator World Champion which means that he is one of the best right now.

Three retired Legends come to mind as well. Avenger, Genesis, and Sylas Styles.

The crowd roared a positive reaction for the three.

Yeah .

You, and I tonight Vincent will tear this house down. I accept your challenge, and I say. May the best "Rookie" win


Extends his hands

[Vincent X. Toriano]

"Those are some great names that you just named. Either one of them would be great to get in the ring with. I have nothing but respect for all the legends in this business. They have paved the way for the likes of us. I just don't like to see that they are retired, especially since some of them are still young like Sylas Styles and Genesis. There is even Chris Lionheart who is retired now who I would love to have a chance to wrestle. If any of them were to come out of retirement, I would definitely line up to have a match against either of them."

*The crowd erupts all around. I really do think I have earned their respect with all that I have just said. I bet a few people are wondering how I know about most wrestlers even though I am new to the business. I wanted to be a wrestler for a long time and before I even set foot in a business, I did a lot of research. As the crowd quiets down, I begin to speak again.*

"Travis, we both have a lot of respect for the legends of the business, but tonight it's going to be about us in the ring. I'm not going to worry about any other match here on ShowDown but this one. Tonight my journey to the top continues. Like you said Travis, let's tear this house down!"

*The crowd erupts once again. Tonight is just as exciting as the past two weeks in the I:W. I have gotten off to a good start, but the other two matches don't mean anything tonight. Travis has also gotten off to a good start and he knows he would like to continue that. I wave my arms up and down trying to pump the crowd up causing their cheers to grow louder. This is definitely my kind of place. I am starting to feel much more comfortable.*
