~~A room can be seen. At the front of the room is a large table with a podium in the middle. The room is packed with reporters who are talking and bustling about waiting for things to get underway. The reporters hush and take their seats as some people are ushered in to take their seats on either side of the podium. There are two people seated on either side. To the left there is a man that is dressed in a black dress shirt, and black dress pants. He is wearing a pair of red Oakley sunglasses and has his long blond hair tied back into a ponytail. The man is of average height, about six foot three, and has a medium build. To his right is a much larger man, standing near seven feet tall and he is dressed in a black blazer and dress pants as well. On the right side of the podium are two men that are also dressed up and they are each carrying briefcases with them. A fifth man comes out and stands at the podium and waits for silence to fall over the room. When it does, he begins to speak.~~
Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Matthew Ryan and I am here for one simple reason and that is to inform you about what is about to happen. What we are having here is simply an abbreviated press conference. AT this time, we will not be taking any questions from the floor, however, we do have a second time scheduled, as you can see by looking at the flyer you were handed on your way in here, and that will be tomorrow when Lance will be taking questions. So as long as we have that straight, we can get down to business.
Today, I have the very esteemed honor and privilege of announcing to the world that my brother, and client, Lance Ryan has announced that he is coming out of retirement to join the Wrestling Championship Federation. As you all know, Lance had been out of the ring for two years, focusing on family, and himself after walking away on top of the business. Recently, however, Lance made the decision to get back into a routine with high hopes of returning to the business that he used to love. After getting himself back into shape, he started to take offers and decided that he would return to the ring in WCF, and that is why we are here today. Now, if you will, please welcome Lance to the floor.
~~Lance rises to his feet and brushes his dress shirt to even it out. He walks over to the microphone to some applause. He removes his shades and sets them down on the podium and takes a deep breath.~~
Well, I don't know that he left anything for me to say.
~~This comment is met with some laughter.~~
Seriously though. What he said is entirely true. It has been two years now, and I really am as much in the dark as all of you. I have no idea how my body is going to hold up in a rel atmosphere, but what I can tell you is that through my workouts I have discovered that after the layoff, I honestly feel as though I am in the best shape of my life. I feel no pain from lagging injuries, I have no physical problems, and I think that if everything holds up when I finally get back into the ring, I will in fact ride the wave to the top again.
You see, what has happened is something that the industry did not want to see. Wrestlers finally had their chances at the top when I walked away from the business. They had the opportunity to hold titles that had always been around my waist previously. They had the chance to shine, have fans wear their merchandise, and most of all, they had the opportunity to try and fill my boots. That time has now drawn to a close, and I promise you that I will not rest until there is again gold wrapped around my waist, and it is my name that the fans of the industry spit upon because they all wish that they could be me.
You people in this room today should count yourselves lucky. For today you are witnessing the rise of a the phoenix. I had fallen down into the history books as another legend that had packed his bags. Today though, I rise from those pages and back onto the active roster. The wrestlers in the WCF should also count their blessings because after today, they now know that they are about to have a brush with greatness. They will be fighting in the same ring, night in and night out with the true ICON of the business. Everyone in the WCF from the ring crew right up to the upper echelon of management need to realize one thing, and one thing only. That is that WCF did not choose Lance Ryan, Lance Ryan chose WCF.
Throughout history, my name has become synonymous with greatness. 13 World Titles, an infinite amount of lower level titles, and soon...I will add every WCF Title to my list of accomplishments, and I will become the cream of the crop.
Today...will be one for the ages. WCF, your locker room is being served notice. I have arrived, and from this day forward, the pleasure is all yours...but the victory shall be mine.
~~With that, Lance puts his shades back on and he walks off stage. His brother approaches the microphone and reminds everyone in attendance that they can come back tomorrow and ask some questions in regards to Lance and his future. With that, the scene fades out.~~
