Tonight though, tonight is for the grown and sexy. All the influential peeps of the city are here. Cousins, Dareus, and a few other sports stars are here…big wrestling fans. And overlooking it all, from one of the VIP suites, the reason for the celebration….sits alone, a lone picture in his hand. The picture is of Ronnie, sitting in the corner of the ring, after being handed the World Heavyweight title. The title itself is at Ronnie’s jeweler and trophy maker of choice, getting a through cleaning and being replicated for Ronnie’s massive trophy case. Ronnie stares at the picture, almost in a state of disbelief, like that night really didn’t happen. He pulls out his wallet and places the picture back inside, slides his wallet back in his pocket, and stands up gingerly, still favoring those sore ribs from the match. He grabs his glass of Hennessy & Coke, walks over to the windows overlooking the main club area, and leans against the wall next to the window.
Flawless victory, Hans.
Not flawless as in you never laid a hand on me, because you got in some hellified shots. Flawless because it was like I always intended. Me and you, man to man, straight up, no bullshit. Two warriors of the ring, dueling for the top prize in this business, with no interference or gimmicks. This win…unlike the first time I held this belt, brings no controversy. It is a flawless victory, one that cannot be questioned. I am the HWA World Heavyweight Champion, and unlike last time, there is no doubt. It cannot be questioned.
Hans...all bullshit aside, you were a worthy champion. I told you as much when you beat me the last time. You may hold this belt again, but not right now, and not for a long while. Right now...this is mine, and nobody is going to take it away from me...not with the effort of their life. As far as who’s next...another place and another time. Tonight we celebrate...
...and at that moment, there is a knock at the door. Ronnie walks across the suite, opens the door, and a wry smile comes across his face.
Ed...Talon...glad you could make it. Welcome to Birmingham.
