"Okay Nate, your application looks solid and you're all set. Now, there's just one last thing you need to do..."
I rolled my eyes over to the nameless employee, the poor sod who was resigned to his meaningless job, trying to direct me. I felt Eddy clapping me on my shoulder, talking in my stead. "We'll do it. What do we have to do?"
The employee smiled and nodded again. "Well, you might not have noticed but we have a camera trained on you... right behind you."
Now that the guy mentioned it... I felt a new pair of eyes training on me behind me. Turning around slightly, I could see a nervous looking cameraman sweating slightly, the hefty camera placed on his shoulder as the lens stared into my very soul. I sighed, turning back to the employee. "Could have told us there would have been a camera involved."
"Er... riiiiiight. Sorry about that, but the contract says you get a camera crew with you at all times to film promos for the official website. Hype work and such." Before I could even open my mouth to argue, the employee clapped his hands and directed me and Eddy back to the camera. "Right! We need you two to basically introduce yourselves, and maybe get a little bit of an open challenge rolling. Er... don't be surprised if someone comes barging in randomly. Happens to everyone."
Eddy took the lead, spinning me around to look at the lens before I could even process the employee's words. "Listen up! You heard the guy, you are looking at the most dynamic wrestler-manager duo to cross this federation in a long time, and we're making an impact right out of the gate! Before you stands the Scottish Spitfire, Nathan Kennedy..." Scottish Spitfire? Mulling it over, it doesn't actually sound half-bad. I could roll with that. "...and the Mastermind, the man leading him to victory, Edward Osborne!"
...Way to steal the spotlight for yourself, Eddy. He continued talking, pointing his finger at the camera. "Like I said, we're making an impact right out of the gate! We're issuing an open challenge to any champion to come out and challenge Nathan to a match, and I guarantee that we'll be seeing a new champ in five seconds fla-" No. Oh hell no. The last thing I needed was random people coming out of the woodwork saying how I was asking for shots I didn't deserve, that I was writing checks my ass couldn't cash.
I clapped Eddy on the shoulder, hushing him as I spoke. "With all due respect Eddy, I got this. Listen, contrary to what my manager might have you believe, I really don't care who answers my challenge. I just want to cave some fuckin' bloke's head in, maybe get my feet wet in here, blah blah blah, you've likely all heard this shite by now. So, who's up to face me? First come, first serve."
