MC: Hello everyone, and thank you for joining us for the official press conference for the 2018 Golden Gate Tournament brought to you by Warrior Pro Wrestling. Our first round of the tournament begins this FRIDAY, JUNE 22nd. Seated in the middle of the table is the Owner and Founder of Warrior Pro, Tank McDaniel. On his right is Vic “The Technician” Baron and John Logan. To his left, “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt and Brick… uh…
Brick: Yeah juss Brick.
Nervous laughs
MC: Right…just Brick. My apologies. Um- Tank will make some opening remarks and then we will open it up for questions.
Tank: Thanks. Welcome everyone. This promotion is a long time coming for me. As I said last week, this has always been a goal of mine, and I couldn’t be more excited to kick off the grand opening with a tournament that showcases the talented wrestlers we’ve compiled in a short amount of time. Everyone here at Warrior Pro is excited to show the world who we are, and why you should be paying attention.
Reporter: Tank, who do you expect to come out of this tournament with the title shot?
Tank: (chuckles) Putting me on the spot here next to all these guys. I don’t think there’s anyone in the tournament that I don’t think has a legit shot to win- that’s what makes it so entertaining.
Reporter: John- you’ve probably got more worldwide experience than anyone else, what do you need to do to get out of your bracket
Logan: Win my matches
Laughs
Logan: Honestly I think I’m the best wrestler in the world. There are definitely some tough guys in this tournament, especially the guy sitting next to me (points to Vic). But if I do the things I need to do, there’s no reason I shouldn’t be in the championship match at Call to Arms.
Baron: I’m really going to be doing everything possible to make sure that doesn’t happen. (puts his arm around Logan as they both laugh)
Wyatt: (audibly moans into the mic)
Reporter: Doc, some would argue you’re in the tougher block. What needs to go your way for you to end up on top?
Wyatt: Sure seems like the tougher block eh? These two are going to bro hug for 20 minutes while I have to maneuver around guys like Machine Gun Mayhem and Cement Brains over here (points a thumb at Brick)
Brick: (takes a giant hand and grabs Wyatt’s collar, slamming him into the table) Just Brick’ll do little man.
Wyatt: Ah! Yeah! Brick! (Brick lets go, Wyatt straightens his shirt). Jesus Tank, reign in your employees.
Reporter: Tank- what about Machine Gun? He’s had trouble with other promotions in the past, how are you planning on dealing with him?
Tank: MGM is a talented, if not…er… eccentric wrestler. We think he brings an edge to our roster, we’ll worry about dealing with any issues as they come up.
Wyatt: (sarcastic) That’s encouraging.
Logan: Pussy
Wyatt: (stands up pointing) Shut your mouth. You think you already own this place because of your “reputation”. Well I have a reputation too, and if this company has half a mind, I’ll end up the face of it. I’ll put my credentials against yours any day of the week. And I also don’t look like some homeless bum trying to hitch a ride to burning man.
Logan: (stands up) Yeah, you think you can beat me because you wrestle in a fucking suit? Win your bracket and we’ll talk
Baron: It doesn’t matter, you ain’t getting out of your bracket. Worry about Friday.
Tank: Ok ok enough.
(Wyatt and Logan sit back down still eyeing each other, Logan shifts an eye towards Baron)
Reporter: Vic- what makes you so confident you can get out of the A block
Baron: John and I go way back, and he’s a great wrestler, but nobody can out work me. I’ve trained hard for this, and I think it’s my time to take the next step and become champion. This is my first step.
MC: One more question.
Reporter: Brick- anyone in your bracket that you think could be a tough match-up for you?
Brick: Nope. (gets up and walks out)
MC: Well uh, ok. This concludes our press conference, remember the first round is this Friday, June 22nd! Thank you to everyone for joining.
After the press conference, a video was posted by Machine Gun Mahyem…
The video is grainy, with only the outline of a man standing in front of a camera…
"Darkness. I prefer the darkness. I prefer its cold, uniform present. It soothes me, calms me. People speak of darkness as a threat, or a fear, but light- LIGHT is what should be feared. Light is chaotic. Ever changing. Unhinged and unpredictable- it swallows everything in its reach. Fortunately for you, I am a hero. I want to bring people out of the light, into the darkness- to remove the chaos and install the comforting uniformity that deep down inside you all wish for.
I’m told we have a tournament to determine a championship. I am uninterested in this, but at the same time obsessed with the obsession over it. These are the obsessions that happen in the light, and leave chaos in its wake. Chaos that leads to insanity. The only way to combat this chaos, and prevent the obsessive insanity is WITH chaos. So Friday, I will BECOME the chaos. The insanity. The DARKNESS…"
