It’s early morning here in the streets of Seattle, the city that never sleeps. I arrive with Sienna in the back of limo, right up to the hotel. A man opens the door from the outside and grabs her hand to assist getting out of the black shiny hummer limo.
“Welcome to the greatest Hotel in Seattle Washington.” The usher said as she stood looking up with a smile on her face. She looked back at me and I helped myself out naturally. I close the door behind me and Sienna was getting business done as we continued inside.
Sienna was pretty rich and wasn’t really my style, however she knew that. It showed with the limo and the fact that she bought a presidential suite for us tonight. She was however the most professional women I have ever known and the best manager that I have ever had. I wouldn’t jeopardize that business relationship for meaningless sex.
We continued straight up to the room and were escorted the entire way by the hotels bell hop caring Sienna’s luggage. “Where would you like these Mrs. Harrison?” He asked politely as she opened the door to the room. She didn’t say a word and pointed on the floor in front of here. The boy drops the bags as I continue to the center of the room looking around. Everything was perfect as it seemed, I took the gym bag off my shoulder and plopped it down onto the floor.
“You like it Vincent?” She asked while walking into the room behind me. “It’s comfortable; you didn’t really have to go through all this trouble.” I said and turned to face her. She walked close to me and looked deep into my eyes.
“Vincent you are responsible for all the money I have and I am sorry you lost everything. I think it’s time you get your life back to the way it used to be, grabbing championships and creating the type of atmosphere the fans will enjoy in Action Packed Wrestling.” She said and grabbed my hand.
“Sienna I want to thank you for everything you are doing for me, I guess you would be the last thing close to family for me. I am going to get some gym shorts on and find a gym someone around here in Seattle. I still have a few days before my match up.” She let’s go of my hand and smirks at me before turning around and shutting the door to my room behind her.

Streets of Seattle
I roam around, looking down at the ground beneath my feet, a cracked side walk. My head phones blaring rock music into my ear. I walk down a side walk outside the hotel, on the way to the bus stop. Sure I could of taken a limo, but I wasn’t the Richie rich type. I eventually reach a ghetto area filled with drug addicts and drug dealers. I brought my eyes forward as the bus pulled up to a bus stop three feet away. I didn’t know where it was going, but I hoped on anyways. I inserted a dollar twenty five into the vendor. Taking my ipod out of the front pocket I searched through the music. I make my way to the back of the bus full of people who smelled like straight up weed. I just took my seat in the corner seat in the very back.
No one was there but me and all I could think of was stepping back into the ring. As I looked out the window you could see the flyers for Monday night meltdown all over the city. The bus was making so many stops, I had lost count, however I decided to eventually hop off the bus. Only a few yards was a ticket both and behind it was the arena I was going to be making my return debut in tomorrow night.
It was only about two minutes later, the hummer limo drove up behind me. The driver got out and went to the back of the limo, letting Mrs. Harrison out of the back. I stopped my music and took the head phones out of my ears. She approached me quickly with a pearly smile asking, “How did I know you were going to end up all the way over here?”
13:00:00 08/19/2012
“I don’t know how you knew, when I didn’t even know I was going to end up here.” I stated as she took my arm looking up at me. “You want to go inside? It looks like there are some news cameras up there. Perhaps you can get some publicity.” She said and let go, continuing in front of me, signaling for me to follow her. Sure enough she was right, there was a local news station up here and she wasn’t scared to approach them either. “How would you like an interview with APW’s newest talent, Vincent Pennington?” She asked allowed and the newscaster looked over smiling back.
“Ladies and gentlemen we have been approached by the manager of Vincent Pennington, making his debut in Action Packed Wrestling, showing here tomorrow night, Monday Night Mayhem!” The newscaster was very excited as he started waving his hands for me to come over. So I agreed with my manager and thought maybe this could be good. I continued to walk to the over excited newscaster and his camera man.
“This is the one and only Vincent Pennington, set to make his APW debut along with three other new APW mega stars! Vincent Pennington will be in the first match of the night, up against debuting mega star Michael Salieri, APW veteran Mr. Dangerous and the other new comer Prodigy!” The newscaster just kept hyping it up as he then looked up at me.
“Now Vincent you haven’t wrestled in over two years! Word on the street is though, that you were recently taken to jail for running an organized street fighting ring?” The first question came out of his mouth and I wasn’t surprised that it had nothing to do with APW, but about me personally.
“I was doing what I had to do in the underground, but I wasn’t running anything. I was simply taken to jail for taking part. Luckily I had a great opportunity with APW and my ticket out of jail.” I made my statement and the guy continued on with the next question.
“So you have been street fighting for a very long time, is it going to be hard to adapt again? By adapt, I mean play by the rules and actually wrestle, versus fighting?” The guy asked a smart question and it made me think about it for a minute.
“I honestly don’t think so, a match is still a match. I am a simple man and can follow the rules, sure I prefer matches without rule. However, I wouldn’t disqualify myself, if that is what you are asking. I am going to take this match just as I would any other street fight, except here I am facing three other individuals in a professional atmosphere. The truth is neither one of us know anything about each other except maybe parts of our backgrounds.” I said and his response was only a second behind my answer.
“It’s going to be one hell of a night, good luck to you on Monday night Vincent!” He said as the camera man shut off the camera and started packing things up. “Thanks for the exclusive, which should help me out a lot!” He said putting his hand out and I returned with shaking it.
“No problem, if you don’t mind I am going to check out the arena.” I stated as I continued inside, Mrs. Harrison continued behind me.
~Empty Arena"
14:00:00 08/19/2012
Inside the arena, you could see the show was already setup to go. The ring was up, the ramp and even the titan tron. To my surprise Mrs. Harrison had cameras setup in the ring. “It’s a great chance to get a promotional video in before the event. Let the people know what kind of man is stepping in the ring and what to expect out of you.” She said and yes she was right. I took my shirt off, exposing my massive muscular body. I continued to walk down the ramp and slid under neath the ring ropes to the center of the ring.
I stood there in the empty arena, looking right into the camera s saying,
“It’s been a long time since I have had to fight with regulations and stipulations. I have grown accustomed to doing what I want, fighting how I want. However it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that big of a problem. Come Monday Night all four of us are going to step into this ring, Mr. Dangerous, Prodigy and Michael Saleri.” I say as I begin to rub my hands at the thought of being able to hit someone again.
“For three of us, it’s our debut match up in Action Packed Wrestling and our chance to show everyone in this company, that we are forces to be reckon with. I know that all of us will walk into this match with the intent to win, probably fighting the hardest we have fought in our lives. However there is only one guy that is going to rise to the top of this match and be declared the winner.” I talk as a crack my knuckles, echoing throughout the arena.
“This arena is now empty, but come tomorrow night this place will be jammed packed. They will be screaming and yelling, cheering on their favorite APW mega stars. However, in the first match of the night, these fans are going to be in for a surprise. The fans, management, even the guys in the back. They are going to be watching and they will see what we are made and at the end of the match, they are going to see me standing above all others.” I say and I face the camera showing a stare that could kill babies.
“I don’t like losing and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I stand in this square circle at the end of the match as the winner. Michael the Italian monster as you call yourself, are you ready for what I have to bring to the ring? Prodigy and Mr. Dangerous, are you two ready? Because I sure the hell am, because this is my time now! It’s time for me to come back to wrestling and once again, work my way to the top! I will stop at nothing and I mean nothing, to fight my way through anyone this promotion sets in front of me! “ I started to get really ecstatic as I thought about the words Michael had said about me in his promo.
“The Italian Monster, so you call yourself. To me all you are is another face trying to make it in the wrestling business trying to act tough. Well I have met a lot of fighters that thought they were tough, but they came up short in beating me every time. You say what you want and you believe what you want. However, what I have gone through is really none of your damn business. What you better focus on is this man that towers the so called Italian Monster. Let’s just say that when it comes down to it, you are going to come up a little short. I’m not walking into this ring tomorrow night to win a spot on this roster, because I have that already. I am stepping in this ring tomorrow night, to prove to everyone that Vincent Pennington is ready fight, that I am here to hurt people for the amusement of the fans!" I didn’t know what had come over me, the adrenaline started rushing through my veins and I just decked the camera, ending the segment.
“Very nicely done, now let’s just hope that you didn’t damage that fifteen-hundred dollar camera.” She chuckled a bit and got into the ring. At this point I was pretty emotional and excited at the same time, nothing made me feel better then the thought of getting back into the ring.
“Sorry if you think I went a little overboard though, I think that my message was pretty clear.” I said as she just smiled at me saying, “I think it was wonderful and it’s good to see you back in the ring getting excited. I think it’s about time to get out of here, what do you think?” She asked and I just nodded it off. “I will see you back at the hotel, I am going to stay here a little bit longer.” I said and she nodded while getting out of the ring, heading back up the ramp to the back.
“I miss you.” I said as I looked up at the roof of the arena. “My wife, my child, watch over me and everyone else as we put our bodies on the line tomorrow night.” I closed my eyes and continued to prey for the blessing of my deceased family.
“I promise to you both that I will one day find whoever burned our home to the ground, but first I have to pick myself back up. When I step into the ring tomorrow night, I ask that your spirits be with me. Keep my mind focused and strong. I will enter this match, with the intent of winning.” I finished and opened my eyes to an empty arena.
I stood tall walking around the ring, thinking about all the old times I had as a professional wrestler. How it felt to hold a championship belt. It was something I wanted back for a long time, but I didn’t know where to start. It was fate that has apparently brought me to Mrs. Harrison and Acton Packed Wrestling. Tomorrow night, was going to be that start, the first step into my new professional career.
I looked out over the empty seats and I began to pretend there were people there. “Are you fans ready for this? Are you ready for the newest and most exciting thing APW is giving birth to? Prodigy, Mr. Dangerous and The Itilian guy, are you ready to see me make waste of these three?!” I asked the empty seats while giving out little bit of crazy laugh.
17:00:00 08/19/2012
After my little talk to the arena seats, I simply decided to step out of the ring and started heading up the ramp way. “You know you would probably get a response if those seats had people in them.” Mrs. Harrison said as she met me at the top of the ramp, behind the curtain.
“I thought you had already left, didn’t know anyone was listening.” I said feeling a little bit embarrassed for me. “It’s alright Vincent, it’s not like I am going to judge you, I already know you are crazy.” She smirked a bit and took my arm and we started to make our way back outside towards the limo.
“I know tomorrow night you are going to put your all into this match, but you have to remember to take all your emotions and push them far back into the mind. Mr. Dangerous is good about smashing new wrestlers before they get their start out in APW.” She said concerned like
“I am not afraid of a guy that calls himself Mr. Dangerous, pretty sure it’s just a name he uses to make himself feel like he dangerous. I will be sure to watch out for him, but I don’t think it’s going to be much of a problem. I am confident, yet I am aware.” I stated as we made our way back to the limo. The driver opened the door to let in Mrs. Harrison and I followed behind her, taking my seat at the back of the limo next to her.
“I think this is going to be a start to a wonderful relationship.” She stated as the door closed and she put her arm around mine, resting her hand upon my forearm. “Well it’s strictly business Mrs. Harrison, I think that if we keep it that way, we will win and keep winning.” I said and she stared into my eyes with the look of concern.
“It doesn’t all have to be business does it Vincent? I mean I do care about you and in a way I guess you could say I have been there for you.” She questioned and it surprised me a little bit. I didn’t think she felt that way about me.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to really mix business with pleasure. “ As I said it you could see it bothered her a little bit. She kept her hand wrapped around my arm. I looked outside of my window and the rain began to pour down.
Suddenly a loud burst of lightening can be seen and thunder started roaring, Mrs. Harrison started grabbing me tighter, digging her hand into my arm. She grasped to me closely and kissed me on the lips. I couldn’t do much else, so I responded with my hand against her cheek.
