ICW's newest legend (anyone)

[Hunter Houston]

We go backstage where wrestling legend "Hunter Houston" has arrived, gym bag in hand, eyes hidden behind a pair of black sunglasses. He pushes through the hallways, the eyes of staff member following him like a flock of birds flying down south for the winter.

As Houston wanders through into the next corridor, he sees a familiar face; although these two have never wrestled together they have worked the circuit for many years. Jack wears a smirk the likes of which we at ICW are unaccustomed to, the cockiness is still there but he seems as though he could actually get along with this guy, possibly due to the level of experience and love of the sport the tow both seem to share. Jack stops him with a little diversion into his path and talks to him honestly and with a calm tone despite the way he addressed Jack, also something we here at ICW are not use to seeing from the usually volatile – swing first ask questions later Thumbtack Jack .

''So I heard about you signing up here – I’ve got to admit I’m glad there’s somebody else now to help me baby sit the rest of the roster (laughs). Don’t get me wrong not everybody here is an ass, but you get the feeling half of them would prefer a bottle or warm milk and a nap rather than a beer accompanied by a fuck (laughs). So I’m not sure if you’re in action or not this Friday, however I’ve just found out that the ass-kicking with Daniel Fenrir’s name on it, may now also win me a title. So I’ll be out celebrating my first ICW title win, go see some local fans then a beer or ten (laughs). I know most of the other guys round here have a eleven o’clock curfew, so if you’d like we could get drunk, rowdy and probably leave throwing punches?''

Hunter Houston smiled a little, enjoying a friendly face, one he had seen in other wrestling circuits.

[glow=red,2,300]Hunter Houston: ThumbTack Jack, you sneaky little bastard. You gonna take the belt from the big headed punk? Is that the plan? I wouldn't go ahead and plan the party just yet! You're showing that you're still a rookie, right before my eyes! Get the belt then get your party on. That's how a champion operates! [/glow]

Jack not full believing what has been said smiles but now locks his eyes on Houston’s’, he takes a step closer but still calm as he explains slowly so the old man can hear and understand.

‘’There is no plan, no game I need to play and there is certainly no fucking way I ain’t taking that title this Friday! You may be pessimistic a lot more so than I first thought, I’m not looking for a fight – for once. I could drop you like a bad habit in a flash but your old, decrepit and rickety ass wouldn’t notice the difference, ‘till pills time comes along. I respect you even if you don’t realize it, but for you to doubt a fellow legend is inexcusable. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it, instead I’m going for a nice cold beer, a little Dutch courage before my match – as if I’d ever need it! Rookie – what fucking planet are you on old man? ’’

Jack walks off muttering under his breath still in shock over Houston’s attitude, leaving the shot.

Hunter Houston lifts his finger to his lips.

Hunter: Shh, you also talk too much. People are gonna quit listening before you even reach your point. You have wrestled plenty, I'll give you that, but it doesn't mean you ain't gonna make mistakes and appear as a rookie. Being honest is gonna get you far, pretending you've ever done anything in the ICW won't.
