The city of San Diego, California - The City in Motion! The hometown of Wednesday Night Warfare, XWF's night of pure and unedited X-Treme wrestling! As such, many-a-fighter has come from far and wide to be a part of such a renowned and exciting show as this, with most of them choosing to stock up shop and move in, so that they can make their own living, their own way! The X-Treme way!
One such wrestler is Smoke Man, better known as Daniel outside of the wrestling world. Last Wednesday he made his debut in the first of the 5-on-5 War Games encounters, helping his team win the match and cementing his place in the XWF. The outcome of that match has left Daniel battered, bruised and injured, and is today jogging down these streets in the early hours of the morning, warming up for one hell of a day working out in preparation for his next match against "The Lionheart" Mike Harrison.
He knows it's not going to be easy, and this time if he wins, he has to do it on his own. Daniel crosses the road into Balboa Park for a jog among the tree-shade and the animals. Daniel grew up in the country-side, and while he obviously wasn't expecting cows in the park, he always felt that jogging this way each morning would remind him of who he was before all this.
After a considerable amount of time, Daniel stops on a park bench. He takes off his backpack and takes a large sip of water, sweating like a pig. He'll rest here for a few minutes, and then continue his jogging.
For now though, Daniel leans back, neck exposed to the sky, eyes closed. Taking a break...
...and simply relaxing...
