Backstage, Simon exits his dressing room. He's focused. Making his way to ringside to watch the next match from a backstage monitor. All the while staying mentally sharp. Tonight he was to face the fearsome Thanatos. A man he knew was capable of virtually anything. A man who had no compassion or fear. The worst kind of opponent anyone could face. As he wals along the halls, passers by can't help but to marvel at his pressence. There was something almost surreal about him. As he continues on, he's stopped by another superstar...

"Hey."
The newcomer stops Fierhart, and others passing by stop to see what will happen next. The new kid's long black hair and multiple tattoos make him look almost punk-ish... He seems like someone you'd expect to see in a crack-house. However, the tattoo on his abdomen tells everyone otherwise. Judging from the "sXe" on his abdomen, he is straightedge.
"I think I know you, but you don't know me... You're that Fierhart guy, right? Simon? Hi. My name's Thrush, I just signed with XWA."

Adam Devlin happens up behind Thrush. Wanting a word with him before he goes off, Adam speaks.
Yo, Simon. It doesn't go without saying that I know what that masked nutcase is capable of. I've gotta ask you, are you sure about fighting him? I mean...I know I'm not nearly as skilled a fighter as you, but still, He's on another level. Something I've never seen before in a man. It was almost as if he was in some kind of trance when the bell rung. No matter what I hit him with, I couldn't keep him down. And when he hit ME, it was like getting hit by thunderbolts. I don't know about tonight, man.
Adam waits for Simon's response.

Simon first looks to Thrush.
I'd say welcome and all, but I'm not much of a socialite. You look as if you've got some skill. I know the look of a fighter when I see one. There are plenty of egos and guys looking to make a fast name for themselves here. Don't fall into that web...
The turns to Adam...
And YOU don't need to worry yourself. I'm no stranger to Thanatos. This is about his foolish warrior's pride. Thinking he has to beat me to appease his sick religion. But he's in for a shock tonight. Him AND Sabastien.

Wow. I just got complimented by Simon Fierhart... and he gave me advice!
"Thanks for that. It looks like you guys know who, or what, you're talking about, so I don't want to seem ignorant... Good luck to you, Simon. I look forward to possibly working with you in the future... But I think I'll take my leave now."
Thrush nods, and starts to turn and walk away.

Simon stops him in mid stride...
Now wait a minute. I know you didn't just greet me just out of the goodness of you heart. No one is that nice.
Noticing the ink adorning him, Simon continues.
Straight edge, huh? That means you've got more then half a brain in you skull as well. Things are looking up for you already. Answer me this. Why do you fight?

Adam remembers when he was asked this very same question, and how Simon chewed him out from his answer.

"I originally started fighting as a necessity. I had to if I didn't want to move away from my hometown. I lived in a town influenced by gangs and the such. I was an outcast... I didn't listen to their type of music, I didn't dress like them, I didn't look or act or speak like them... And that made me a target. I wouldn't fight at the beginning... but I took martial arts lessons in a neighboring town... One day a group of punks came up to my house... one of them pulled a knife on me and I had to use what I knew if I wanted to get out of that situation alive... or in walking condition at any rate.
After that, all the little kids called upon me to help them, when they were having troubles with the gangs in the neighborhood. I was their protector... I taught them, and, learned, and together we overpowered the gangs and turned our town into a nice little community.
Now? I guess I fight because I'm good at it. An old man back home saw me fight one day, and he showed me some wrestling tapes... I fell in love with it, and he gave me professional training. And here I am. I love doing what I do..."

A small smile slips the lips of Simon. This one definately had potential.
Then you're in good shape, Thush. Even Adam here was fighting for the wrong reasons. Glory. Fame. Wealth. None of that means anything. Because like that it can all be lost. But fighting for honor. For what you believe in. That lasts forever. Because that's a battle you never lose.
Simon points to Thrush whilst looking at Adam.
You could learn a thing or two from his outlook on things...

Adam shakes his head and smirks. He responds accordingly.
Maybe. But then there's the whole not drinking thing. I really do like beer. So I'll pass on the "Straight Edge" thing. You guys do it well on your own. But I will agree that fighting for what you believe in should be what drives us. Damn shame so many other people don't follow that rule.[/b]
Adam awaits a response.

"Well, I won't tell you what to do... If you want that in your system, go right ahead. It is your life after all."
Thrush shrugs, and speaks to no one in particular...
"Is it too late to get a match for this week?"

Adam responds to the question.
Baring someone comes out and insults your mother, Yea. I think It's a wrap for this week. I was hoping to see some action myself, but the guy I wanted to kick the ass of upped and vanished. The British bastard. But who knows, somethin' else might happen my way. Lord knows the guy I fought at the PPV Sabastien is never short of his tricks.

Adam answers his question?
You haven't heard of me??? Well, yer new, so I don't fault you for it, but you'd BETTER get hip to who Sabastien is. Sabastien Ignace Gallas, son of our fine GM, and the sickest, evilest, most cold hearted son of a bitch walking gods green earth. There's plenty of cold blooded dudes alive, but there must be ice water running though his veins to do what he's doing. His set out to take over GGE, Gallas Global Enterprises, one of the two parent companies behind XWA, and one of the 5 largest in the WORLD. And he'll stop at nothing, and go through ANYONE to get it. I kinda got caught in the middle of it, but after the beating Thanatos, his right hand gave me three weeks ago, I wanna see them BOTH burried just as bad as the boss does.[/color]

"I see, I see..."
Thrush thinks for a moment, and decides to leave.
"Alright, I'm gonna take off. Its been great talking to both of you. I plan on finding out more about this Sabastien Ignace Gallas and the company he keeps... From what you just said he's not the kind of guy I'd want getting what he wants... Both of you, feel free to contact me if you need anything."
