"Welcome to Hampden Park," the arena's general manager said, grabbing the gloveless hand in an enthusiastic handshake, "Will you be needing anything to accommodate you while you take your tour of the facilities?" Talon looked around curiously. It had a homey feel to it, which was different than most of the arenas he had ever been to. It was nice.

"Sir?" the general manager asked, a bit of irritation in the Scottish accent now.
"Oh, is there a ring set up already?" he asked, "I need to practice." The GM took a moment to register the question, before nodding his head eagerly.
"Aye sir, aye, the ring is set up for the wrestlers to practice in," he said, "I can bring you there."
"Do it," Talon said, tapping his walking stick against the tiled floor three times before following the GM through the halls.

As they walked, the GM went on some sort of rant about the history of the arena, all the great football matches it had held, all the many different times the "Hampden Roar" could be heard for miles in the old days.

Heh. The Hampden Roar. He knew a guy who would definitely try to provoke one of those. And knowing Ross, he could do it.

Ross. The name floated throughout his mind. His partner, his friend... He was still at the hotel, resting from his match on Sunday. He survived and outlasted thirteen other guys, five of which were on his own team. Now he had a chance to win a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. It was quite an exciting time for him. For them.

He shook his head, as the GM continued to ramble about upcoming events. Jon Bon Jovi. Part of the 2012 Olympics. The 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Big deal. Talon knew that none of that could compare to the sVo... to him. He wouldn't be in the main event, but he would make an instant impact on this company. Instant. Impact. Many promise it, but he would deliver. As he always did.

They made a turn into the arena, and he saw it. The ring. "Will you be needing anything else, sir?"
"A dummy to practice with, and a stick for it to hold."

Before long he was fencing with the dummy. Moving his feet around quickly, Talon suddenly changed his stance and swung hard at the dummy, cracking it in the back with his walking stick. It went down, and a smile spread across his unpainted face. He went up to the top rope, raised his arms and spread them, making a T with his body, before leaping onto the motionless dummy.

But he was not done. Instead, he dragged the dummy over and set it onto the second rope in a standing position. He hopped onto the rope next to it and placed its head back under his arm. He held it for a moment, and then...

WINGS OF DESTINY! The dummy hit the ground next to him hard as he reached an arm over it for the pin.

1...

2...

3!!

An imaginary crowd was split between cheering and jeering him. The same crowd that would be seeing the same results at Showdown, but with an actual crowd and an actual opponent.

Oh well, none of that mattered. All that mattered was him getting ahead. And who was his opponent? William Vorheez? Talon snorted, just thinking of the concept. He imagined that he would have to watch old Friday the 13th movies to prepare for him. It didn't matter if he had to fight William Vorheez, Jason Vorheez, Pamela Vorheez, or Michael Myers. The result would be the same.

His arm raised high, and the opponent motionless and out of breath. On the ground. Staring at the lights.

His phone buzzed. A text. He fished it from his bag and opened it. It was from Ross. "u up already?"
"ya, u feelin ok?" he texted back quickly. He was terrible at it.
"ya, wanna go get drunk???" Talon did a double take. Drinking at this early in the afternoon? Then again, it was Ross. He fumbled with the keys.
"ya" he finally sent, after a moment of hesitation.

He left the dummy laying in the ring as he picked up his bags and left. He had half a week to train for Freddy Krueger. Getting drunk in Glasgow, Scotland however, was a limited window of opportunity.
