STUBBORN TO THE BONE ★彡
¤ LOCATION: Chicago Home | DATE: August 25th, 2014 ¤
Chicago, Illinois was the home of some of the most infamous sports teams in the world. Such as the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls. Chicago was known for producing some of the greats in the world. Whether it be Deep Dish Pizza that no other pizza place can touch or being where someone such as the late great Robin Williams was born and raised. Along with that Chicago was known for being one of the many cities that were hard up for the world of professional wrestling. Not to mention it was home to some of the greatest professional wrestlers that had ever existed in this business. It is even the home to some of the current generation.
One of those current generation superstars happened to be none other than the man known all around the professional wrestling world as “The Highlight of the Night” aka Calvin Harris. On this particular day Calvin found himself packing up his gear bag and not for the normal reason. He wasn’t headed to a different city to compete for the promotion he’s contracted under. Instead in a few days time Calvin would be traveling to Cleveland, Ohio to compete at the Pro Wrestling Project’s One Year Anniversary Show. After all just one month ago he was at the last show and had announced that he’d be competing.
Up until a few days ago he had no idea who he was competing against. Now it was official and the young man found himself in a Triple Threat Match. Something that he could mow over when he got on the plane. For now his attention was getting himself all packed up. His suitcase laid out on the bed with his wrestling boots, his kickpads, his elbow pads, and wrist tape all packed up and ready to go. Now it was just a matter of finding the gear he wanted to take with him. Calvin’s attention was looking through his closet when he heard a familiar voice from behind him.
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"Shithead, I thought we were going to dinner."
It was his lovely girlfriend. Course not too many people would consider their significant other lovely when they referred to theirs as “shithead” but the thing was Calvin and Chasity (Shady’s real name) had a different type of relationship. They loved each other and they knew that, but at the same time they never complicated things too much with the romantic part of things. Before Calvin could turn himself and respond, Shady had taken notice to the suitcase and his eyes quickly narrowed in her direction.

"What the hell is this all about?"

“It has nothing to do with our night out if that’s what you’re wondering.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"That I could care less about. The fact that you’re packing a gear bag and knowing that you’re not cleared to compete is what I’m wondering. Now spill the beans, asshole."
It was only a couple of weeks ago that Calvin had found himself being put through an all glass table thanks to his now former best friend, Daniel Richards. It was all part of Daniel’s evil plan to get under the skin of Calvin’s uncle, former pro wrestler turned General Manager. Calvin’s lower back had taken quite a beating from the glass table. Lots of scratches and bruises. Not to mention the twenty odd stitches that it took to close the wound up. Truth be told Calvin was truly lucky that more damage hadn’t been done and his doctor said had he landed any other way. There was a good chance he wouldn’t be here right now.
Of course as cruel and as sadistic as Chasity’s character might have been on television. As much as she might have given him shit in their relationship. Fact still remained there was love between them and she did care. So she had been on his ass about competing while not being cleared. She had managed to get him to take these last couple of weeks off to heal, but now it seemed like she was in for a fight. Calvin had plans that she seemingly didn’t have any clue about and that’s something that just really made her blood boil.

“I told you about this last month. I signed on to do a one off match with PWP and it’s going down this Saturday. I gotta be in Cleveland tomorrow for some media appearances and what not.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"That’s great, that’s grand, and that’s fucking wonderful Calvin. Yet it seems that you’re missing the most important key here. I just said you HAVEN’T BEEN CLEARED to compete. So therefore you going to Cleveland is a waste of time."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S

“It’s not a waste of time Chas. I have spent the last weeks at home. I took time off the rest and all that stuff, but being cooped up in this apartment is driving me nuts. I’m ready to get back in the ring, and on top of that this is a commitment I’ve made. Kind of late to pull out now.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"And you act like I give a shit about how nuts you’re going in this apartment or the fact that it’s “too late” to pull out of this so called commitment."
Truth be told Calvin should have realized this was going to be a fight. It had been a fight between them to keep him at home to begin with. Now he had a leg to stand on as far as he was concerned and with him being stubborn. He didn’t plan on backing down, but then again on the flip side she was just as stubborn as he was and she wasn’t going to willingly step down from her outlook either.
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"You can’t tell me that you’re so commitment is so locked in. It would cause an issue when you’ve got a medical reason for not being able to compete."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“I never said that was the case at all.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"Exactly which means you’re being an arrogant little shit who is in complete disregard to his well being and therefore you’re doing nothing other than pissing me off. You’re not going to Cleveland and you damn sure aren’t competing in a match until you have clearance to do so."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“According to you obviously, but according to me. I’m going to do it. It is my career and it is my life. So unless you have some plan to physically stop me. I don’t think there’s a whole lot you can do in this situation babe.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"Is that some kind of dare Calvin? Because you know I’ll find a way to physically stop you. Even if it means involving a shit load of duct tape, handcuffs, chains, padlocks, and even that damn straight jacket."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Kinky!”
There was a sly smirk that crept over the lips of the Chicago native. Obviously their disagreement was serious business. Although as serious as it was Calvin was trying to keep things lighthearted. That way it didn’t spill into an argument that didn’t need to happen. Yet his lighthearted nature and his deadset nature of competing was really just grinding Chasity’s gears more than anything else.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Look I get it. I get that you’re concerned about me. I get that you want me to be a hundred percent healed. I get that you don’t want anything else to happen to me. That’s a big deal coming from you. But even you know that shit happens in this business. You can’t avoid everything.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"No, you can’t but you can clearly avoid further injury by waiting until you’re completely healed."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Yeah, that might be true but let’s put the shoe on the other foot shall we? Let’s say you suffered another concussion and you knew you were going to need close to a month off to heal. Yet you had a huge match up, hell even a title defense. You cannot tell me that you’d take that time off. You’d compete regardless.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"This isn’t about me Calvin. So don’t even."
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“And that response right there tells me that you know that I’m right. You’d compete regardless. Just like I’m competing regardless. It’s a risk I’m willing to take and if something negative comes out of it. It’s my own damn fault.”
.. n e f a r i o u s r o g u e
♠ || SHADYLAYNE || ♠
"Ugh, you know what Calvin?! I’m not going to waste my time in even arguing with you anymore. Do whatever the fuck it is that you want to do!"
Before Calvin could even begin a proper response. Chasity had rolled her eyes in frustration and had walked right on out of the room leaving him standing there by himself. Well in a sense he kind of did win their disagreement. She did walk away and it meant that he was the last one of the two standing. Deep down though Calvin knew this wasn’t going to end well and he knew that really he didn’t win. It just meant that the two of them were going to have major issues with each other until either he found a way to fix things before he left or until he got back from his trip.
With that being said he sighed a little bit in frustration and turned himself back around in the closet long enough to grab a pair of his wrestling tights. He tossed walked over and tossed the tights down in his suitcase before zipping it up. Only to take the suitcase off the bed and placing it by the door in the bedroom. There it was he was all packed up and ready for this match he’d be having in just a few days. He was ready to show what he could do outside the walls of the “elite” but for now his main role was fixing the issue between him and the love of his life. Calvin walked right out of the room in an attempt to find her once again putting his career goals on the back burner for the right things.

CALL ME MR. WRESTLING ★彡
¤ LOCATION: FirstEnergy Stadium | DATE: August 27th, 2014 ¤
Roughly twenty four hours from now Pro Wrestling Project would host their One Year Anniversary Show live from Cleveland, Ohio. It was exactly one year a man like Mr. Duncan had a vision to do something different with wrestling and had a vision to find a way to bring some of the most anticipated dream matches in the world of this sport come true. So far the vision had been successful. After all it had made it to a one year anniversary and if things continued the way they were. PWP just might end up making it more than just one year. Something that a lot of people were likely looking forward to as it was.
Although the vision had been alive for an up and coming year. There was still quite a few people that didn’t get a chance to feel the experience. Still quite a few people that hadn’t been able to find out what all the hype is about. There was still quite a few people that many fans all across the globe were waiting to see show up and show off their skills within PWP. One month ago at the last show the fans got a treat and got an announcement that made them truly excited for the One Year Anniversary show. When people least expected it The Highlight of the Night himself, Calvin Harris showed up and shocked a lot of people.
He shocked people by letting them know that he would be at the One Year Anniversary show and he would be in action. That announcement blew the roof off the arena and it has made many hold on to the edge of their seats for this coming show. Now that’s where the current day comes into play. Cameras found themselves opening up inside the FirstEnergy Stadium - otherwise known as the home to the Cleveland Browns and there was a reason for the camera crew being in this location. That reason likely had to do with Calvin himself as he stood right at the fifty yard line - center of the field and a smirk featured.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Hello there ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages out there in the PWP Universe. For those who aren’t familiar with who I am. The name is Calvin Harris and I’m frequently referred to as “The Highlight of the Night” in the professional wrestling world. I’m a second generation superstar, I am currently employed by the best damn wrestling company in the world as far as I am concerned, and this coming Saturday Night. I’ll be making my first one off appearance in PWP - and who knows ya guys might end up seeing more of this face a little down the road.”
The man’s smirk got a little bigger with the statement. Calvin learned from the start many years ago when he started training that it was important to gain the attention of the audience from the start. That’s obvious what he was aiming for at this moment in time.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Last month when I announced that I’d be competing at this One Year Anniversary show. Those that do know me and those that are familiar with who I am nearly lost their minds. Something that shocked me to be quite honest because I wasn’t too sure how it was going to be perceived but when I got the feedback I did. I became a little more excited to compete at the event myself. Not that I wasn’t excited enough as it was, but you guys get the point. Now the kicker to the announcement of being in town and competing at this historic event for PWP was the fact that I wasn’t exactly going to have the proper amount of time to prepare for my opponent or opponents.
Because ya see up until about a week ago. It was very much a secret. It was a mystery if you will and honestly that’s something that excited me the most. That’s one of the many things that made me reach out to Mr. Duncan and to begin to work out a deal to be competing for PWP. I’m not like a lot of people in this business. I actually enjoy new challenges. I enjoy new aspects of the game being introduced. I thrive off being put in an unfamiliar environment and then finding a way to overcome the odds. In fact overcoming the odds has been something I’ve done my entire life. Not just as a professional wrestler but as a human being as well.”
Truth of the matter was things weren’t exactly easy for the Highlight of the Night. His entire life and his entire career he has faced adversities that seemed impossible to overcome. Yet Calvin never backed down, he never quit, and he continued to find a way to rise above it all. Especially when it came to a certain situation in his life just roughly a year ago and that’s a small subject that he felt the need to touch up on at that moment. It was a chance to fill the people in on just who he was as a person - more so for those that aren’t aware of who he was.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“About a year ago I was involved in a car accident that left me in a coma for two months and when I awoke. I was told that I would never be able to wrestle again. I was told my dream was dead and that I just had to accept it. Basically, I was told that those odds were not to be beaten and that I could not beat them. Well, as you can see that’s not the case because here I am exactly one year later. But I’m not telling you that to have some kind of sob story or to get sympathy from anyone. I’m telling you because I think it’s important for you people to understand who I am and to understand that challenges motivate me like no other. I see them, I take them on, and then I try my best to conquer them.”
Calvin simply just stood there and nodded his head a little bit. Knowing that every word that escaped his lips at that moment was sticking out and being something that everyone was listening to. Capturing their attention and keeping it was a lost art in this business by some, but at least Calvin had the old school teachings of how to get it and how to keep it.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“So anyway long story short up until a week ago I had no idea who I’d be getting into the ring with and I didn’t know what to expect. But now a few days before said event and I know just who I am going to be in the ring with. I find myself squaring off against Mr. Dante Drexler and Mr. Colt Jagger. Two names that I’ve personally never heard of, two names in which present a challenge to me, and two names that still leaves me in the dark when it comes to what exactly I am up against or what I should be expecting should I say.
That in itself excites me too. I know who I am up against now, but I don’t know what either man can bring to the table. That leaves me in only one position. It leaves me in a position where I literally have to show up on Saturday Night with my best. It leaves me in a position where I have to lay it all out on the table and it leaves me in a position where I have to leave my heart, soul, mind, and body all on the line. I can’t even truly begin to explain the level of excitement that leaves within me. It is like an Adrenaline rush I have never experienced before.”
Many may have considered him an odd ball based on the way he was explaining things to the people listening. How could anyone have an Adrenaline rush off being in a match where the odds weren’t in his favor? How could anyone truly be excited for a match where he didn’t know what to expert? It seemed ass backwards but it all had everything to do with the challenge that was being brought with it all.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Although I do not know what to expect. I can’t say that I’m allowing myself to go into this match clueless. That would be quite foolish of me. I admit that over the last couple of days. I’ve done what I could to find out a little something about my opponents. I’ve done some research in an attempt to help me prepare somewhat over these last few days. I can’t say that it’s been super helpful with the research. I am still in the dark on a lot and I still don’t really know what to expect as I said, but at least I have some kind of understanding of what I’ll be facing in those two men.”
Well at least Calvin wasn’t going into the match completely clueless to what was going on around him. He was smarter than some that had decided to do some research and to be able to get a small grip on what he was up against. Yet it seemed like there was still a large portion that had him still very much in the dark. It meant he was still going to have to learn by experience and learn by getting into the ring, but he still had some knowledge. Some was better than none.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“When it comes to Dante, I have to understand the guy isn’t that much taller than me but on the flip side he wears two hundred and seventy two pounds. With that he’s called the Superhuman and I could totally see why. As one could imagine that his style in between those ropes is all about strength. He is a powerhouse to the very bone. A style that I’m not exactly experienced in. I mean look at me and a style that I am going to have to find my way around if I want any chance at coming out on top in the end.
But I think the thing that interest me the most is for a guy that’s so big. For a guy that’s so strong. He’s actually considered one of the “good guys” if ya will. He isn’t your typical meat head with an ego that makes you want to bash your own head in. At least I know what to expect in that sense. It’s not going to be a week of the guy running his mouth. It’s not going to be a week of constant disrespect. It’s not going to be a week where I have to hear how he’s just oh so much better than I am. Far too many people think it’s “cool” to be the asshole in today’s world but it really isn’t. Guess, you can say it’s one more for us good guys.”
It was easier to respect someone that was going to respect you. It was also easier dealing with a match and dealing with an opponent when you knew that their mindset was similar to yours. Calvin seemed to be glad that he wouldn’t be the only respectful “good guy” in the match, but that was just one of the two men he was facing.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“But that’s just one of the men I’m in the ring with. The other man I’m facing in Mr. Colt Jagger. I can say that the two of us are a little closer in size. I don’t have to worry about him picking me up over his head and hurdling me across the ring like a lawn dart. I do have to worry about the two of us practically killing ourselves out there. Because from what I have established. Our styles are the same. It’s filled with highflying, speed, agility, and even the occasional orthodox move here or there. That is certainly going to be interesting when we do start going at it.
But then that’s where it goes downhill as far as I’m concerned. Because Colt is that guy that thinks it’s cool to be an asshole which means going into this match. I am going to hear the whole shebang I done mentioned. Stuff about how he’s better than me, better than Dante, how we don’t compare to him, how he’s going to beat us with ease, so on and so forth with the usual bullshit that comes with people like that. All of which I intend on going in one ear and out the other. Because it’s no different than anything else any other “bad guy” has ever said.
However the part that intrigues me the most and the part that gives Colt an advantage so to speak is the loose cannon aspect. Some people call the man unstable, some people call the man a lunatic, and some people call the man crazy. I’ve been in the ring with quite a few people like that before. It can be a bit of a scary situation, but at the same time as crazy and as unstable as certain people are. Doesn’t change the fact that they are still human. Doesn’t change the fact that they could still lose and it doesn’t change the fact that the chances are in a situation like this they are bound to make a mistake.”
Judging by everything that had come out of his mouth at that point. Calvin seemed to have a little bit of a better grip and understanding of what he was up against when it came to Mr. Jagger. A man that had different views, a different mindset, and a different way of doing things compared to the Highlight of the Night. Although, Calvin didn’t seem to really care too much for people of Jagger’s kind. Didn’t change the fact he still had a certain level of respect. He had always been one to give respect until there was no need for it.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Ya see gentlemen, I am not a complete fool. I do the research that needed to be done. I got myself some what prepared for the match that we’re going to be engaging in a few days from now. Truth be told though it doesn’t matter how much I do or don’t know about you. There’s still the unexpected element of what happens when we step into the ring with each other. I’ve got no choice but to believe that the two of you are two of the best wrestlers that this business has ever seen. I’ve got no choice but to believe that the two of you are going to provide a challenge to me like never before. I’ve got no choice but to believe that the two of you are going to be the biggest threats I have ever been in the ring with.
There’s a good chance that all of that is true, but there’s also a chance that you two aren’t as good as what I think. There’s that chance you aren’t that big of a threat or that big of a challenge. I really don’t know and I won’t know till Saturday, but the good thing about all of this is I’m not the only one with that mindset. You’ve got no choice but to have that mindset as well. Even if you’re a lunatic who is egotistical and even if you’ve got me beat by size. You’d truly be foolish if you went into this match thinking that I wasn’t a threat, that I wasn’t a challenge, and that I wasn’t talented. That’s something that would blow up in your face and certainly that’s not what either of you want.”
He slightly shook his head from side to side. Calvin had enough confidence in his opponents to make what could be consider by many as a “rookie mistake” and maybe he was wrong but giving them the benefit of the doubt was much needed at least until they proved him wrong.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Never the less gentlemen, we all came to PWP for a reason. We wanted to experience something new. We wanted to experience what it was like outside the general walls of where we currently belong. More importantly than all of that we love the sport of professional wrestling. That’s the one thing we have in common and therefore we wanted to continue to do what we do which is wrestle. In a few days time we get to showcase our talents in front of a new audience. No matter what you might think or how you might be. I wish the two of you nothing but the best of luck..”
In this sport that was professional wrestling the art of good sportsmanship had pretty much gone out the window. Far too many egos running wild and far too many disrespectful assholes ruining the sport a little at a time. Not him though, not the Highlight of the Night. He would never allow himself to fall into that category. With that being said the young man’s eyes locked with the cameras as he let the final words escape his lips.
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S
the highlight of the night ™
“Ya know right about now Cleveland has quite the buzz going for them. After all they got Mr. Football himself Johnny Manziel, but after this Saturday Night. Cleveland will also be famous for watching Mr. Wrestling make a statement that will never be forgotten.”
For a second or two longer Calvin stood there with that little smirk of his giving the cameras a wink. Seemingly with nothing else left to be said. The Highlight of the Night found himself turning around and starting to walk off down the field. Cameras stayed focused on him as he got further and further away with each second. He had given the people a reason to pay attention to the match, he had given his opponent’s a heads up on what he thought, what he knew, and what he would be bringing to the table in a few days time. Yet at the same time words were just words.
Yes they served a purpose in a sense of hyping things up and yes they served a purpose in being able to grab a hold of someone’s attention as well as keeping their attention. Yet that’s all it was for. It didn’t guarantee anything. It didn’t guarantee a win or a loss. The only thing that guaranteed wins and losses was the amount of heart, the amount of passion, and the amount of talent that one displayed in between those ropes. Calvin was one of the most passionate and most talented people of this generation. He had the heart for it but people were just gonna have to wait and see. With that being said the cameras faded out to black.

THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR NIGHT ★彡
¤ LOCATION: The Arena | DATE: August 30th, 2014 ¤
Finally the night had arrived for Pro Wrestling Project. Their one year Anniversary was finally here. It had been one hell of a twelve months for them. Many believed they wouldn’t make it this far yet here they were. Well now those haters could suck it because here they were and it was almost a guarantee that right here tonight. The One Year Anniversary Show would out do anything that PWP had produced the last eleven months. Not that there was anything wrong with that. It was always about getting bigger and always about getting better.
We were still a few hours away from the actual “show time” part of the show. That didn’t change the reality that the stars had already arrived to the building and were in the process of getting themselves ready for the night. Some of them were going over the spots and the moves they wanted to perform throughout the night. Some of them were getting that last minute “pump” in so to speak in order to be ready. Others had locked themselves away in their locker room and had began to get themselve ready as far as gearing up.
That would be the case of Calvin Harris. He sat there in the locker room given to him with a pair of basketball shorts on, his kickpads, and boots on. He was in the process of using the black tape that he had brought along to tape up his wrists. All of the sudden his concentration was broken after hearing a light knock on the door to his locker room. Calvin’s eyebrow arched a little bit looking in the direction of the door before quickly forcing himself up and walking across the room to reach the door. He grabbed the door handle and pulled it open only to see a young woman standing there before him.

the highlight of the night ™
“Oh yeah sure. I was wondering when I was going to be encountering someone like you, haha. You guys are like the IRS. You just can’t escape them.”
There was a brief chuckle escaping his lips at the moment while he stepped outside the locker room a little bit closing the door behind him. In the meantime Roxie had taken it upon herself to make sure that she had gotten her official camera crew in order. Once it seemed everything was good to go and the light was on signaling that we were officially recording. Roxie had thrown herself straight into interview mode.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Roxie McCright and I am currently backstage at Pro Wrestling Project’s One Year Anniversary Show. As you all know we’ve got one heck of a show for you right here tonight. As of this moment I happen to be standing by with one of the men that you will get to see in action. He likes to call himself the Highlight of the Night, Mr. Calvin Harris! First and foremost Calvin, I’d like to thank you forgiving me a moment of your time.”

“Well, that’s certainly a good thing to know but since we’re on the subject of fans. Let’s take a step backwards for a moment to the last show. When you showed up - from the moment that you walked out on stage until you went right back behind the curtain the crowd was hot for you. Not to mention they nearly lost their minds over the announcement that you would be competing in a match real soon for PWP. Did you honestly expect that kind of reaction?”
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S

“Not even in the least bit.”
He had briefly paused with a bit of a shake in his head and a small chuckle escaping his lips.

“Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. To some I am one of the best wrestlers of this generation. I am one of the most entertaining. One of the most hard working and it seems that fans are always in support of me, but let’s be real here? I was walking on unfamiliar grounds. I didn’t know what kind of crowd I was going to be dealing with. I didn’t know if any of them ever wanted to see me compete inside a PWP ring. Every last bit of it was unexpected, but the moment I did hear that crowd reaction. I knew that I was going to be just fine, haha. Loved hearing the reception I got.”

“I admit I too was a little shocked to see such a reception and I’m sure I’m not the only one, but it isn’t a bad thing in the slightest. Obviously it proves you’ve got a connection with the crowd like no other. A connection that many in this business have a hard time achieving or simply just don’t want. Never the less the announcement was made that you would compete in a PWP ring and that match is tonight. But I’ve got to ask. Rumor has it that you sustained a bit of an injury a few weeks back. Is there any truth to this rumor?”

“I should have known this was going to come up, haha. But to answer your question, yes there’s some truth to it. A couple weeks back I found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time thanks to the betrayal of a friend. That ultimately resulted in me being put through an all glass table. Probably one of the most painful situations I have ever been in before. It left me with some scratches and some bruises. More importantly it left me with twenty plus stitches in my lower back to bring together flesh that had been ripped open thanks to shards of glass. I’m not a hundred percent I guess you could say, but I’m here. Isn’t that be what matters the most?”

“To some degree, but others value their health too and wouldn’t put themselves in a risky situation. Do you think this is risky for you? And is this injury going to be something that holds you back?”

“Let me tell ya something. I am not someone that would put myself in danger or at a serious risk. I am smarter than that. If I didn’t feel I could compete on the level I am used to competing on or if I thought that the injury I sustained was too much then I would have pulled out from the match but I didn’t. I’m here. I don’t believe I am at a risk and I don’t think my injury is going to hold me back at all. But I don’t expect everyone to go off of my word, I’ll just have to show them when I step between those ropes tonight.”
There was no doubt about it Calvin seemed quite confident in himself. He believed that he was going to be just fine despite having been put through a glass table. Something that could have been a lot worse had he had landed any other way that night. But the mindset of the young man was he was still here. He was still breathing and therefore he was going to continue to keep doing what he loved to do the most. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

“You would know your own body better than anyone else. With that being said though it has been confirmed that right here tonight you’ll be competing in a triple threat match. It’ll be a match featuring you obviously, it’ll feature Dante Drexler, and it’ll feature Colt Jagger. I am curious to know, just what were you thinking the moment that you found out what your match was going to be and who you were going up against?”

“Well, I recently stated that one of the biggest reasons I wanted to compete in PWP once was because of the mystery that came with not knowing who you would be in the ring with until it was announced. Being left in the dark like that was exciting and was an adrenaline rush to me. I’m not entirely sure why, but it was. Then the moment I found out who I’d be facing. I was excited because the wait was over, but at the same time I was still left in the dark so to speak. Not that it was a bad thing, but I realized I was being put in a match with two men I’ve never heard of. I don’t know where they come from. I don’t know what they are or aren’t capable of. Still has me in the dark, but its a challenge I am willing to take on and a challenge that I want to conquer in the end.”

“I am quite certain those two men might feel just the same way about you. Not knowing who you are or what to expect. I agree it’s a challenge and brings quite a bit of excitement into the atmosphere. Well, I didn’t plan on keeping you very long after all you do have a match to continue to get ready for. I did have one final question to ask you. A question that I ask many of those that come through PWP. How do you think you’re going to do tonight? How do you think your night is going to end for you?”
C A L V I N ★彡 H A R R I S

“Honestly, that is a question that I just can’t flat out answer. Yes, I am confident in my abilities. Yes, I am talented in some areas, and yes I’ll step into the ring tonight giving it my all. I’ll put everything I have to offer on the line. That’s what I do every single time I am in the ring. Most times it has paid off for me and it has worked out in my favor, but that’s not a guarantee by any means. I can tell you that I hope that at the end of the night I will have done well. I hope that I will have impressed the crowd. I hope that by the end of the night I am the one that has my hand raised in the air. I’ll do whatever I can to make that possible but until it does it’s just a wait and see situation. Just know I plan to be the highlight of your night.”
R O X I E ★彡 M C C R I G H T

“That’s one way to think about it and one way to take an approach to the situation at hand. Personally, I wish you nothing but the best of luck out there tonight and I am sure I am among the many that I want to see what you’re able to produce out in the middle of the ring.”

“Much appreciated there Roxie. I’ll be sure I don’t let you or any of the others down, haha.”

“There you have it folks. Calvin is ready for tonight’s match and plans on giving it everything he has for the sake of your pleasure as well as entertainment. Tonight is certainly going to be history making and it has everything to do with each and every single one of you.”
With those being her final words to wrap up the interview. The camera crew was quick to cut off the recording which will end up being aired later on during the show in front of a sold out venue. Roxie had turned around sticking her hand out in the direction of Calvin leading to the two engaging in a brief hand shake with one another. Before she was on her way leaving Calvin just standing there. He watched as she walked away before he turned his attention to the halls in which he was standing in just looking around.
It was about as unfamiliar as it could get for him. New promotion, new challenges, new opponents, and a whole new experience. Something that he wanted to take part in and something that he felt the need to experience even if it was just this one time He couldn’t be more thrilled and he could actually feel the goosebumps forming on his arm. That small cold chill going down his spine. Tonight was going to be something that he never forgot. He would aim to leave his mark on PWP and aim to live up to his name as he did any other time. It wasn’t going to be a night to miss.

NOTES: Well the one thing I learned was sometimes its a little harder to roleplay when you don’t have the material you want/when you’re not sure what to expect out of opponents you’ve never heard of before. Not that it’s a bad thing. It brought a challenge and a little bit of excitement. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this rp. I think it’s a decent piece. Not fantastic or great, but decent. About to see where it lands me soon enough. All the best folks.
