The new era is only just beginning. Are you ready to see what the future brings?
The closed redwood door to Thor's office had been altered since Payback. In the center of the doorway at normal eye level was a black marble plaque with the words "Xtreme Vicious Intent C.E.O." etched into it and painted a highly visible glossy red. The camera stays focused on the plaque a moment before slowly panning to the left to point down the as of yet empty corridor.
As the camera holds steady a 6 foot 1 man in a buttoned up black leather trench coat and a pair of black combat boots turns the corner and starts towards Thor's office. The man looked exactly like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In his right hand was a black briefcase and his lips were curved in an amused smile. Things had ended up better than he had counted on. As this man approaches Thor's door he stops to read the marble plaque and knocks on the door a moment. With a shrug the man tries the door and then slips in to empty office and closes it.
Several minutes pass by and then Thor is walking down the hallway towards his office. In his right hand was a black briefcase with the XVI logo plainly visible on the side. Within the briefcase was the contract for a Universal Title shot come the next PPV that he had won at Payback. Sure he had just a little help from the XVI Wildcard Champion, his good friend and most recent XVI big name, Nikolai King. Around his waist was the XVI Elite Title.
As he arrives at the door he stops and stares at the plaque and shakes his head thoughtfully. He wasn't quite sure how to go about his seemingly protracted career. It was a bit of a shock to actually have gotten this far in the plan. He slowly opens the door and steps inside of the office with a faint chuckle of amusement.
Thor makes his way to the back side of his desk. He seemingly ignores the trench coated man as he slowly set the briefcase on the redwood desk. He takes off his XVI Elite Title and sets it next to the briefcase before sinking into his black leather chair. Once seated he turns his eyes to his guest and speaks.
"So James you here to solidify the XVI/PWE deal?"
The man, none other than the owner and founder of the Pure Wrestling Empire James Jefferson, had turned to watch Thor as he heard his amused chuckle. As Thor makes his way across the room and prepares himself to sit down James watches him carefully.
"In a manor of speaking Thor. You know that PWE is more than just the training school that I created. No I have expanded this business until I now control a complete wrestling gear out fitter, a ring manufacturer, several sound studios, and special effects engineers. I have even started what should be a successful magazine published in the PWE owned publishing office."
Thor nods as he listens knowing full well what was going on with PWE. He was already planning the next era of XVI.
"So where does XVI fit in? Well call it expansion Thor. I see your door says C.E.O. and not owner. Well Partner you are the new owner of XVI. Sure the PWE will take a 10% cut of your profits but you get a seat on the PWE Board of Directors and the exclusive rights to use the PWE as the official XVI developmental territory."
Thor blinks as he looks at James a moment his thoughts broken from their track as the information sinks in.
"So James is it really that simple? What is the catch?"
James slowly opens his briefcase and pulls out a green folder with the letters XVI written in bold black sharpie. He looks at Thor as he slowly pulls out two pieces of paper. With a smile he slides one of them over to Thor and keeps the other.
"No catch other than you will need to find some more talent to fill the roster. Go ahead and read over the contract Thor. You will find it all in order."
With that James pulls out a blue pen from the briefcase and signs his copy of the contract and slides it Thor.
With a nod Thor blinks and then reads the contract smiling widely by the end of it. As James slides his copy over Thor finds a red pen and signs both copies before passing the one James had yet to sign back over. Thor chuckles and then nods slowly watching as James signs before slipping the paper back into the folder.
"So James how does feel knowing you will be helping to transform the XVI?"
"Feels good and honestly I can't wait to see what you have planned for the XVI."
"Well between you and me the Anniversary PPV will include a major Hall of Fame induction ceremony. A few other big matches are scheduled but all in all I am working on putting the show in order."
Thor sits talking with James as the scene shifts to a Burger King commercial.
Change is upon us. Prepare for its effects.
