<p align=right>Family Night in Boulder City, Nevada
Off Camera
Currently Playing: Just Another Thing by The Lacs featuring Crucifix
The rain was following down hard as the road was becoming less and less visible each moment. A navy blue 2016 Chevrolet Impala with dark tinted windows was sitting at one of the first red light in the entire city of Boulder City. Travis Nathaniel Andrews is sitting in the back with one arm bent and posted on the door. He leaned his head against his hand as Shawna was looking on her tablet. She was scrolling up with her right index finger as a loud uncomfortable sigh escapes from Travis's voice.
"Shawna, can you please remind me why I even agreed to see these imbeciles?" asks Travis as he was rubbing the side of his head with his right hand. Shawna chuckles just slightly as she lifts her head up from her tablet.
"Because this will be a great thing for you to reconnect with who you are on the inside," answers Shawna as she returns her attention to the dimly lit screen of her tablet. Travis sighs once more as Shawna swipes left on her tablet after seeing something important. Travis looks out the window at the buildings passing by.
"What will spending time with these maggots have to do with that? I can barely be in the same room with my father for five minutes before we are jumping down each other's throats. My cousins are too stupid to even understand anything that I talk about," replies Travis as Shawna just shakes her head. She knew Shawna and Vicki wouldn't be there this time which means she will need to convince Travis that this was an important meeting before heading for San Bernandino, California for Climax Control 169.
"Travis, can you at least try to get along with everyone this one time?" asks Shawna as keeps her eyes pointed at the screen. Travis scoffs while rubbing his forehead with more force. Travis knew Shawna was trying to help but stress before a match wasn't worth it. A few hours have passed as the car turns left down Tiger Avenue. Tiger Avenue was the Main Street which leads to the third story Andrews Estate.
An ivory cased gate appears in front of them as they pull forward. The gates swing open as the driver slowly pulls through and down the long dirt road. Oak and Sand pine trees line the driveway as Travis takes a quick look out the window. He sighed as the driver lifts his eyes into the rear view mirror. "Where would you like for me to park Mr. Andrews?" asks the driver as he inches the car further down the road.
"Park close to the exit. I have a feeling we will be leaving in fifteen minutes," answers Travis as he leans forward just a bit while placing on hand around the empty front passenger seat. The driver nods his head as he pulls around the loop and stops at the base of the front steps. The car comes to a complete stop before Travis opens the passenger door. He steps out of the car and fixes the brown leather jacket he was wearing. His blue eyes are covered with dark tinted sunglasses as he stands at the bottom. Shawna joins his side as he takes a deep breath.
"OH MY GOD!" shouts a voice as Travis lifts his head up to see his stepmother Helena McMahon standing on the top step. She was a middle aged woman with light blonde hair mixed with teal streaks. Travis light heartedly waves his hand as she comes bouncing down the steps towards him. "Travie I didn't think you were going to come," says Helena has her arms stretched out to her side.
"I almost didn't come to this hell hole," replies Travis as he gives his stepmother a quick hug before stepping back a bit. Helena nods her head in agreeance as Travis walks up the steps. "Since I am here, I might as well listen to the old fuck about how I am screwing up his damn company," says Travis as he walks up the steps toward his childhood home. The fifty acre land belonged to his grandfather before his father inherited it. Travis will be the next in line to inherit this land and mansion when his old man croaks.
Travis places one foot onto the top as the people gathering outside the house stops and stares at the arrival at the prodigal son. 'What in the fuck are you doing here Travis?" asks a voice in the midst of the crowd. One by one, the crowd disperses as an older gentleman steps through the sea of people. A look of disgust comes across the facial features of Travis. Walter Andrews, the father of Travis and former CEO of Andrews Incorporated before Travis took over after a hostile take over. Ever since then, both men have had bad blood which has culminated in several fist fights and several attempts at doing harmful things to each other.
Walter is also a retired professional wrestler who made a name for himself in Casino Wrestling Entertainment. That was before Travis joined the company and overshadowed his own father. Both men are stubborn to the core and hate to lose. Travis knows how to learn from each loss but his father not so much. Travis is standing at the top as he watches his father walk towards him.
"I thought we could bury the hatchet for once but I guess that's not going to happen," says Travis as he peels his sunglasses off from his eyes. His blue eyes were steaming as he looked at his father with rage building up inside. "I shouldn't have come back to this shit hole. I do have better things to do like kicking some ass in San Bernandino," continues Travis as he takes one look around the area.
Shawna lifts her eyes up from her tablet. "Such a waste of a good party," she says while turning on her heels and walking back down the steps. Travis follows her while pointing at his father.

What a fucking day this has been huh? My first family meeting and I can't even spend fifteen seconds with my old man. That has to be some kind of record huh. Almost like the record I have facing this nuisance in Joshua Acquin. How many times must I bash in your skull before you get that you are not even in my league? Yes, you did come away with a victory at Inception 2 but who did you actually defeat? Was it someone worth mentioning or was it just another nobody scrub that you like to face to make you look like a badass.
Joshua, I'm beginning to wonder if you actually belong since you disappear so much like a ghost. It's amazing you even know how to win a match since you were gone for so long. While you were gone, I have managed to make myself a bigger name than you can possibly imagine. Let's see, I dominated Synn before he got a few lucky strikes in and beats me. Since you brought up Ruby Rose, I guess it's a fine time to mention she won't be a factor since I fired her ass a long time ago.
That kind of happens when you are so far out of the loop that you don't take the time to study up on your opponents. Take me for example, I know you are tough customer Joshua but I know that when it comes to facing me, you haven't found the right formula to defeat me. I doubt you will find that formula this upcoming Climax Control. Because unlike you, I have more to prove in this match. I have to prove that I can win a match even without any kind of stipulation attached to it.
Now don't think I have forgot about you Leon Black. I admit, there isn't a whole lot I can go on but trust me. It won't mean a damn thing because you are nothing more than a rookie stepping into my ring. You are not worthy to spit shine my shoes but you will be worthy enough to get a lethal dose of Smash Talk for your troubles.
I have tried to tell the world that I'm done with doing things by your rules. It's time to play by my rules and those rules are winning by any means necessary. If you think I'm a joke now then you won't like the punch line. Your time is up boys. Leon will wish his precious minor league was back so he can rule it. Joshua will victim to his own stupidity. The Phenomenon is coming and there is nothing you can do stop it. All you can do is just DEAL WITH IT!!!!!
