The Lone Wolf · **02-07-2016, 11:37 AM**

Camera opens to a bustling nightlife in Tokyo, music and lights everywhere and echoing down the streets. In the midst of the crowd, one can pick out Wolf's red hat, like a sore thumb, walking up towards a side building's entrance. Wolf enters and gets waived down by the front desk attendant.He goes under his desk and pulls out a box, the items banging around inside, and Wolf just glares at the attendant.

"...Handle with care?"

The attendant starts yelling in Japanese and Wolf swiftly grabs the box and heads upstairs, mumbling to himself along the way. He enters his room, which is just big enough for the bed and a tiny path to the bathroom, the window, and the entrance, and sits down on the bed with a laptop already opened and on. Wolf grabs his heaphones and, before plugging it into the laptop, uses the poke to open the box. He reaches in and takes three DVDs out, labeled Tommy Wish, Brian Lance, and Trevor Hawk respectively.

Wolf reaches into his pocket to grab a folded piece of paper. He opens the paper and it becomes three, with Tommy’s, Brian’s, and Trevor’s faces on one of them, a profile on each. Wolf lets two of them drop, focusing on Trevor, and grabbing his DVD. Inserting it into the laptop, Wolf positions himself to lay back with headphones on and with a big sigh, starts watching the DVD.

A time lapse triggers, the lights of the outside changes quickly, the laptop screen brightens and darkens Wolf’s face as well. In between that Wolf switches the DVDs, but continues to stare intently at the laptop and comparing to the papers. The camera zooms in on Wolf’s face until he closes his eyes.

His surroundings go dark, but when he opens his eyes, Wolf is standing outside on a rooftop, some distance away from the Tokyo Dome. Cars passing by on the highway, their sounds entering and exiting the shot, while Wolf looks to his debut location.

”...This is as good a place as any, I guess…”

Wolf cracks his neck as the camera circles around him.

”…When you strip away the labels, the crowds, the chance to make a…good first impression, heh heh…All that hype fades away and reality sets in, gets boiled down to the truth: XWF has asked me to get past three men Wednesday night...nothing more, nothing less...

If you had met me eleven years ago, I would have jumped all over that Scaffold match, Brian. I took every opportunity to challenge myself, to push my body to limits I never knew I could reach…Maybe it’s the wisdom and knowledge gained from brawling in federations and the backyards over that time, telling me to hold off on it, that it’s too quick, too soon…too much…

Or maybe you just can’t handle simplicity. You’ve already been presented a unique opportunity to show the three of us…and the entire world…why you’re the Innovator of Pain! And don’t you confuse my refusal to accept as weakness. I don’t want you to show me your innovations…I’m asking you to…Besides, as we all know, throwing opponents down fifteen feet to the ring is one of the main factors of determining just how good a wrestler you are, heh heh heh…”

Wolf crosses his arms and calms down.

”...A good factor, though, is perseverance…I can respect and appreciate what you’re doing, Trevor…battling through an injury…It’ll be a great challenge to overcome on top of what’s already in front of you because that is a walking bullseye…

But what I can’t respect is you trying to limit yourself…Or rather, hide, your true self…Anger management is just that…management…sometimes it doesn’t work and sometimes you choose not to let it work...I don’t want to be standing in front of a man who isn’t at full capacity Wednesday night…I want the real you, Trevor, whether you choose to let him out…or if I have to beat him out of you to make it happen…”

Wolf walks up to the end railing of the rooftop and takes a side, the camera takes a side view of him.

”…And I’m glad you’re taking me at face value, Tommy, because I’m not with you. Your sister, your weed habits…your love of foot, heh heh…it’s all smoke and mirrors for a man who doesn’t give a rat’s ass what anyone else thinks of him…and that’s a dangerous man to be facing…

But I do have my own as well…I can’t hide being a hundred eighty-five pounds and being under six feet tall. But what it does hide is a level of intensity and a will to fight that is second to no one…

Because I hope you stay true to your word, Tommy, that my time in XWF will be cut short…Whether you, Brian, and Trevor accomplish that for your own sake…or for XWF’s sake…You guys better put me down Wednesday…Stop me before I ever get started here, guys…Because until my time comes, I will keep getting up, and I will keep coming back…for you guys…”

Wolf pulls the camera in to his face.

”…and everyone else…"
