The website
www.yourwrestlinginformation.com has been operating for more than 6 years. It's been billed as the wrestling fan's number one source for wrestling news on the internet. The staff of 50 plus work daily to keep up with all the latest news in all of the federations around the world.
Eric Bowman has been responsible for reporting things that happen within the EPW. Matches, house shows, and PPVs are what he does best. However, every once in a while, he gets to opportunity to do a sit down interview. Today is one of those days. He sits in a chair in front of a desk. Seated at the desk is the man he came to interview; "Silent Assassin" Brien Cage.
Bowman: First of Brien, I wanted to.............................
Cage: Mr. Cage.
Bowman: Mr. Cage. I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview.
Cage: Not a problem.
Bowman: I also wanted to say how impressed I am with your club. It's like nothing I have ever seen before.
Cage: I know. It's one of two that I own. Fitness Center during the day, Night Club during the night. The best of both worlds.
Bowman is still a little in awe about what Cage explained to him. Still, he realizes he has a job to do.
Bowman: How do you like the EPW so far?
Cage: I have no complaints. I came in the promotion with high expectations. I know they will be met and exceeded.
Bowman: Now, your first match was supposed to be a double debut match with Lindsay Troy. But due to some legal issues she was pulled and was replaced with Adam Benjamin.
Cage nods his head.
Bowman: Some would say that you went from pre-school to college in a matter of days by having to deal with the opponent switch.
Cage: Who listens to what people have to say?
Bowman: Well, it is the opinion of fans and wrestling critics.
Cage: Figures.
Bowman continues writing in his notebook.
Bowman: Do you have any problems with your new opponent?
Cage: Am I supposed to have any problems with him?
Bowman: I was just asking if you had a problem with management replacing a rookie, like yourself, with a bonafide EPW superstar.
Cage opts to ignore the question.
Bowman: Mr. Cage, I wanted.............................
Cage cuts him off.
Cage: Look. Let's get a few things straight. I didn't come to the EPW to please those humanite fans or to make any friends. I came to the EPW to shake things up and to make things happen.
Bowman takes a break from writing.
Bowman: It appears that things have been happening between you and Adam Benjamin. Both of you have had some words for each other.
Cage: Yeah. I noticed that he does do a lot of talking. But I'm about to put an end to all of the talking.
Bowman: But the thing is Benjamin is a staple in the EPW. We have seen him time after time. We don't know anything about you, like where you came from and what kind of experience you have.
Cage smiles for a moment.
Cage: Well, Benjamin says that I'm green and inexperienced. So it's probably best to listen to that humanite instead of getting the facts from the source.
Bowman continues to write.
Cage: You see, Benjamin talks about humiliating me and showing me things that I have never seen before. Benjamin, you disappoint me. I had expected something a little more original coming from the "new age technician". I mean, everyone I have faced talked about trying to humiliate me and show me things I have never seen. To this day I have yet to meet a man to follow through on that promise. I have a feeling that you will be just like the rest. But fret not, my friend. I'm sure you will keep me entertained for a good five or ten minutes before I decide to end it.
Bowman stops writing and looks up at Cage.
Bowman: Do you feel any pressure in this match?
Cage: That's actually a question that should be asked to Benjamin. I'm sure he'll say again, that the pressure is on me. That the world will be watching and that I'm back into a corner.
Cage holds out his hands towards Bowman.
Cage: Look at my hands. What do you see?
Bowman: Nothing. They are just hands.
Cage: Hands. Black hands, emphasis on black. You see, from day one it has always been me against the world. The world watching me. The world disrespecting me. I didn't get hand outs. I earned everything I have. All of my money, all of my condos, all of my businesses I earned by myself. So I know what it's like to have to world watching me. I know what it's like to be backed in a corner. The real question is does Benjamin know what it's like to be backed in a corner.
Bowman continues to write as Cage continues.
Cage: Truth be told he probably hasn't. But that's going to change. He wants to call this match a "warn up" match before his PPV match up. He's right. This is a "warn up" match, but it's not a "warn up" match for his PPV match. It's actually a warning for everyone else in the EPW. You see, after I have stained my hands with the blood of the "new age technician", I want the rest of the EPW to know that "The Silent Assassin" means business.
Bowman: Any final thoughts, Mr. Cage?
Cage: Adam Benjamin, it's Black History Month. This black man plans on making you history.
Bowman: Thank you for your time, Mr. Cage.
Bowman reahes over to shake Cage's hand. Cage shakes it and then points Bowman to the door.
