OriginsThe camera pans outside a building, the exterior made entirely of metal and glass, a very luxurious facility for sure. It's night time and the bright light is the only thing that illuminates the streets, it's glow accentuated by the moonlight. We can briefly peer in through the pale blue glass, the camera pans inside and we hear panting and grunting, not one of pleasure nor pain but instead of determination. We see Jamie Dorsey though we don't know his name. Yet.
He's doing bench presses. And from the looks of it he's been doing a lot of them. Sweat is running down his face and his grey t-shirt has patches that show his commitment. His eyes stay focused on the weights as he pushes them up and down. Up and down. Up and down. He's the only one left in the gym; he's so late to leave so often that the manager has entrusted him with the key to lock up for the night.
In the midst of this very intense workout we can hear his cellphone ring in between the grunts and the pants. The weights clang down onto the rack and he takes a moment to catch his breath before he sits up and answers. Hard to make out details about what the conversation is about but it's one that brings a smile to Jamie's face.
"Uh-huh. Right. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you again. Uh-huh. Thanks. Okay. Bye"
Jamie turns to the camera. His dark brown eyes lock into ours, the audience's. While we were once an observer, we are now a witness.
"And with that. The deal is done. Kelly Godless has signed me to Elysium Pro Wrestling. A company that I never thought I would work for but one that I always knew I could best. Which means that now this broadcast will be viewed by audiences all around the world - some in countries I've never heard of."
He takes one last swig of his water bottle before he throws it and his workout gear in his bag. We see that the sweat patches go down the length of his back, and his slow walk and hesitant speech show his exhaustion. Throwing the bag on his shoulder, he begins to walk as he describes his home.
"-nd over there is the row machine. An-"
"Sorry. What am I thinking? You aren't watching this to see what I do. You're here to learn who I am. Well, I was a collegiate wrestler all the way through college. My dad often pushed me to succeed but I enjoyed it. The thrill of the fight and the competition was too much for me to ignore. I decided to push myself and as you just saw, I have now signed a six figure contract with Elysium. I've been training to be a professional wrestler for a few years now at a school not too far from here. I've been working out and training everyday until I got a call."
"But don't take my inexperience as incompetence. I'm willing to prove myself to the thousands or potentially hundreds of thousands that will be watching worldwide. I'd like to think of myself as a visionary - someone who can push this company to new unfathomable heights."
"In fact I think, given time and training, that I could be a World Champion one day. I know it's arrogant for someone who hasn't even debuted yet to be talking about title aspirations but bear with me: I have the best resources available accompanied with the best work ethic. I haven't met anyone who is more willing to go the mile than myself. And it'll be interesting to see what the Kelly Godless regime cooks up for me when I finally arrive. I'm scheduled to be at Frontline 3 in some form or another and I'd love to get an opportunity to show you what I've got."
"I've seen what Holland is capable of. I've seen what Elina is capable of. And to be honest I don't think they are anything special. Both extremely offensive wrestlers with little in the means of defense. What ever happened to wrestling? I saw your matches and while you both earned the titles you hold, the majority of it was punches and kicks and stomps. Excuse me? Are we but rapid dogs? This is wrestling. When I arrive at Elysium, you can bet your damn ass that I'm going to bring prestige to those titles and show you what true wrestling really looks like. Both of you."
