Moments after the revealing of the Mentorship program, The Angel is seen walking backstage with a duffelbag in hand. You can tell he is happy as he was just partnered with Titus, the two time WZCW world champion and oscar winning actor, and the man that won the match for his and Angel's team this past week on Meltdown.
It's my week. I'm on fire! Not only did my team win this on Meltdown but now I have Titus teaching me the ways to be a star. If anyone in this business knows success, it's that man right there.
Titus walks up behind Angel.
Angel, you are talking to yourself again. When you are alone you don't have to speak outloud my friend.
I'm never alone Titus. I always have God watching over me.
True. Well, We need to start becoming better aquainted if we are going to win this Mentorship. We are a lot alike Angel. We both share the same passion for the business and that is why I think you will go far. You did good in that 8 man tag team match on Meltdown and I can honestly say that you have potential to be a future champion here in WZCW. However, you are still very young and can learn a lot.
Thank you Titus, you're words mean a lot to me. To be honest, you are right. I do need to learn to control my opponents better. I can wear them down good enough but if they pick a spot and end up capatlizing, I get thrown off guard and end up getting an unnecessary beating.
Well, how about I give you my first bit of advice. Pick your spots. That's one of the best things a wrestler can learn. Sure, powerful moves will win you matches and titles but learning when to execute them moves is a skill to master. Take your opponent on Aftershock this week, Darren Bull. A couple of weeks ago at Aftershock 11, he dominated the match against Krypto and yourself. He picked his moments and got the win. And because of that, not only did he give you you're first loss here in WZCW but he also qualified for the Mayhem Scramble match at Redemption.
I lost focus in the match. And for that was an easy target.
Don't beat yourself up for it. When I first started, I lost almost every match I was in. But I improved. And you have something I didn't. You have a Mentor to help you reach your true potential.
The two emerge through a door leading to the arena's parking lot.
This is where we part. I actually have plans tonight with a couple of other people. But I'll get with you in a few days and we can train together for our matches.
The Angle sets his dufflebag down. Titus and Angel shake hands before Titus jumps in his car and drives off. The Angel watches him until he can no longer see his new friend.
"If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him. But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God." Psalm 55:12-14
I have a good feeling about our partnership Titus.
The Angel picks up the dufflebag he set on the ground and begins to walk to the bus stop and head to the hotel he is staying the night at.
Later that night, Angel is kneeling before his hotel bed, his fingers are laced, and his head is bowed.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for another blessed day. You have given me so much this past few days. The opprotunity to team with Sabotuer, Action Saxton, and Titus. You have blessed me with a great Mentor and new friend in Titus as well. I ask you to look over me as I sleep and rest for the new day tommorow. I ask you to look over all my loved ones and friends as well. I ask that you look over Darren Bull for I would hate for something to happen. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wak, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen
He stands up and turns the light off. In the dark, he removes his mask and puts on a smaller one, much easier to sleep in.
A couple of days come and go, and the Angel is sitting on his couch exhaused from all the training he has been doing. He lays back and starts to drift to sleep but is awaken when his doorbell rings. He gets startled as he wakes up, stretches a bit, gets up and heads for his front door. He opens it and gets surpirsed as the one and only Titus is at his doorstep.
Titus? I didn't expect you to come to my house.
I figured it was time to talk about your match. Can I come in?
Yes. My house is your house. Make yourself at home.
Angel opens the door further for Titus to come inside. Titus stops seconds after entering. He looks around and e chuckles a bit as he notices crosses and roseries hanging from nearly everywall. Pictures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary hang next to them. On every table there is candles, with the Virgin Mary on them ass well.
Funny. This is the exact image I had in mind when I thought of your house.
Titus, I'm flattered you came to my house but if you wanted to meet up, we could have done it so you wouldn't have to travel so far. You could have called me.
Eh, I really hate phone calls. So, have you done any more research on Darren Bull?
Yes I have actually.
Ok, Whats his favorite food?
The Angel pauses a moment before answering.
I'm joking. But good. Knowing your opponent is a good way to find out what kind of person he is. Darren is aggresive and a hot head. Use that against him. Try to piss him off. He gets pissed and he will lose his focus.
And how should I make him angry?
Play to the crowd. Carry a red bandana to the ring and when he is running the ropes move it and go "ole!"
The Angel laughs at his friends joke.
I see. Anymore advice for me?
None at this moment. I'm ringside with you at Aftershock, so I will study your match and tell you what you need to work on afterwards. Also, you are going to accompany me to the ring with my exhibition match against Steamboat Ricky. I hate cutting things like this short but I have to run. Angel, good luck with your match. Hopefully you can get a winning streak going.
Titus heads out the door, leaving Angel alone in his house.
Darren is no joke but I am not easily beaten. If he wants a win, he will have to earn it.
