What Could Have Been

On the screen, Puck is celebrating his first sVo victory in the ring, his arms raised in triumph as the crowd reacts. McLeod’s expression is a mix of frustration and determination. As he watches, Katie Smith approaches him, microphone in hand.

Katie Smith: Dylan, I see you’re watching Puck celebrate his first victory here in sVo. Given your history with the Canadian Connection, what are your thoughts right now?

Dylan takes a deep breath, his eyes never leaving the monitor as he responds.

Dylan McLeod: (with a steely resolve) You know, Katie, it’s hard to watch someone like Puck, who just walked in here and took the spot that I fought for. But this isn’t just about Puck. It’s about Ali Young, Scott Cole, Jake Hughes, and the rest of the Canadian Connection. They think they can walk all over anyone who stands in their way. Well, they’ve got another thing coming.

He finally tears his gaze away from the monitor to look directly into the camera, his expression fierce.

Dylan McLeod: Ali Young, you wanted me to prove myself, and I did everything you asked. But you chose to play your little games instead. Now, Puck, you might be riding high on your first win, but don’t get too comfortable. Because I’m coming for you, and I’m coming for every single member of the Canadian Connection.

He pauses, the intensity in his eyes growing.

Dylan McLeod: I’m ready to get my revenge. I’m ready to show you all what happens when you mess with Dylan McLeod. So celebrate while you can, because your time is coming. And trust me, it won’t be pretty.

Katie Smith nods, sensing the intensity and determination radiating from McLeod.

Katie Smith: Strong words from Dylan McLeod. It looks like the Canadian Connection has a formidable opponent coming their way. Back to you, Julian and Jeremiah.

The camera zooms in on Dylan’s determined face before cutting back to the arena, leaving viewers eager to see the unfolding clash between McLeod and the Canadian Connection.

Tonight Is Our Night

The camera transitions to the locker room area where CJ Dreamer is standing with Ricky Johnson. Both wrestlers are gearing up for their upcoming tag team match against the formidable Dogs of War. The atmosphere is tense, but Dreamer’s voice carries a tone of reassurance and confidence.

CJ Dreamer: (patting Ricky on the shoulder) Ricky, tonight is our night. I know the Dogs of War are tough, but we’ve been training hard and we’re ready for this. We’ve had some setbacks, but those were just learning experiences. Tonight, we show everyone what we’re made of.

Ricky Johnson nods, trying to absorb the confidence and support from his more experienced partner. His eyes show determination, but there’s also a hint of doubt.

Ricky Johnson: You’re right, CJ. We’ve got this. I won’t let you down.

CJ Dreamer: (smiling) That’s the spirit. Remember, it’s not just about strength, it’s about strategy and heart. We’ve got both. And no matter what happens, we fight till the end.

Just as Ricky is starting to look more confident, Jupiter James walks past. She slows down, glancing at them with a smirk. Her presence immediately shifts the atmosphere, bringing a cloud of tension.

Jupiter James: (sneering) Look at you two, trying so hard to pump each other up. It’s cute. But let’s be real, you’re both losers. Always have been, always will be.

Ricky’s confidence falters slightly as he looks down, but CJ steps forward, his eyes locking onto Jupiter’s with defiance.

CJ Dreamer: Keep walking, Jupiter. You don’t know anything about what it takes to be a true fighter.

Jupiter laughs dismissively, shaking her head before continuing down the hallway. Her mocking words hang in the air, but CJ turns back to Ricky, his determination unwavering.

CJ Dreamer: Don’t listen to her, Ricky. We’ve got this. We’re going out there tonight to prove her and everyone else wrong. Are you with me?

Ricky looks up, meeting CJ’s eyes with renewed determination.

Ricky Johnson: I’m with you, CJ. Let’s show them what we can do.

New Beginnings

The camera transitions to the bustling backstage area where Katie Smith is standing by with a microphone in hand. Beside her is Alex Sterling, known for his unique style of speaking in Hollywood quotes. The anticipation for the main event against ‘the Modern Day Cowboy’ Bronson Martinez is palpable.

Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Alex Sterling, who is just moments away from facing Bronson Martinez in tonight’s main event. Alex, how are you feeling about this match?

Alex Sterling, with his characteristic Hollywood charm, flashes a confident smile before responding.

Alex Sterling: Katie, you know what they say in the movies, “This is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time.” (quoting Fight Club) But tonight, it’s not about endings. It’s about new beginnings.

Katie Smith: Bronson Martinez is a formidable opponent. What’s your strategy going into this match?

Alex Sterling: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” (quoting Forrest Gump) But let me tell you, Katie, tonight I’ve picked my flavor. Bronson may be the Modern Day Cowboy, but as they say, “Go ahead, make my day.” (quoting Sudden Impact)

Katie Smith: You’ve been on a roll recently, but Martinez has been equally impressive. What makes you confident that you’ll come out on top?

Alex Sterling: “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.” (quoting Raiders of the Lost Ark) Bronson may be tough, but I’ve got the experience, the heart, and the drive. And like Rocky Balboa once said, “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” (quoting Rocky Balboa)

Katie Smith nods, clearly entertained and intrigued by Sterling’s charismatic answers.

Katie Smith: Your fans are eagerly waiting to see you in action tonight. Any final words for them before you head to the ring?

Alex Sterling: “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” (quoting All About Eve) But fear not, because by the end of it, you’ll see that “Every man dies, not every man really lives.” (quoting Braveheart) Tonight, Katie, I’m going to live, and Bronson Martinez is going to find out what it means to step into the ring with Alex Sterling.

Katie Smith: There you have it, folks. Alex Sterling is ready for the main event. Good luck out there, Alex!

Sterling gives a final nod and a confident smile before turning and heading towards the entrance area. The camera follows him for a moment, capturing the anticipation in the air before fading to black, signaling the imminent start of the highly-anticipated main event.

Sterling grabs a microphone from the ring announcer, his chest heaving as he catches his breath. He paces around the ring, acknowledging the boos with a smirk.

Alex Sterling: (quoting The Dark Knight) “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

The crowd’s boos intensify, but Sterling stands firm, undeterred by the hostile reaction.

Alex Sterling: (quoting Gladiator) “Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?”

The fans respond with a resounding chorus of boos, but Sterling simply laughs it off, clearly reveling in the negative attention.

Alex Sterling: (quoting Scarface) “Say hello to the bad guy!”

He drops the microphone with a dramatic flair and climbs the turnbuckle, raising his arms once more to the booing crowd. The camera pans around the arena, capturing the mixture of anger and begrudging respect from the audience.

Julian Fiasco: Love him or hate him, Alex Sterling has made his mark tonight. What a performance!

Jeremiah Sloan: He might not be winning any popularity contests, but you can’t argue with the results in that ring.

Sterling steps down from the turnbuckle and makes his way to the center of the ring, soaking in the moment. The boos continue, but he wears them like a badge of honor. He signals for his music to play, and as it does, he exits the ring, walking up the ramp with a swagger in his step.

The camera lingers on Sterling’s back as he pauses at the top of the ramp, turning one last time to face the jeering crowd. With a final, defiant smirk, he disappears behind the curtain, leaving the audience buzzing with emotion.

Julian Fiasco: What a way to end Proving Grounds 44! Alex Sterling victorious, but with a lot of enemies in the crowd tonight.

Jeremiah Sloan: The road to the top is never easy, and Sterling just took a huge step forward, even if it means stepping on a few toes.
