Foreword: The deal is done...the man known as raVen has suddenly found himself the newest member of New Level Wrestling. After scouting the federation for about 2 months now, raVen decided it would be a good idea to finally find his place her. raVen would love to get an idea of where he ranked along with some of the best wrestlers around today. The New Level Wrestling is the perfect place to test that theory, because of it's ever growing popularity and ratings. The scene opens up in the bowery, as some of you may know it has raVens hometown. You will find raVen in his usual spot, the dark. raVen right now is in what he would like to call, "his reflection time" where he can find the nearest dark space and use it for whatever sort of revival he needs. so as raVen sits here...he starts to ponder many things...with the first being New Level Wrestling.


raVen: I have found it again. Once again I find myself in a new federation with flock of new faces and a varity of goals. This time will be different for me though, the path with not be paved for me and I will have to do everything within my power to try and make it. I see so many old faces, so many souls that have not yet been touched. I will continue to strap these boats on until the day I die and until that day I promise to do everything in my power to get the power I deserve. I wish you all could have been there, I wish you all could have seen the looks on the faces of the men when I walked into the NLW office building. I may have seen some women cry when they had to look into the face of pure evil. With all the waste they are used to seeing it may have shocked them to see a man of ambition...a man of pride. When so much of wrestling has become fake it can sometimes be hard to breath, but dont worry raVen will take you back.


raVen's Conscience: Hello raVen. I have been listening to you and I will tell you that what you have said so far has been true. You really have an idea of who you are and what you are about. The NLW has never before seen an independent thinker...they are all so wrapped up in themselves that they will one day find themselves victim to there own minds. But thats okay raVen, you see whatever you think about any of these wrestlers now will change after you step into the ring with them. You have gotten in to the game and you are now a player. You must use all of your resources and you must develope methods of attack. There are alot of fans that are counting on you to guide the people, do you think you are up to the challenge?


raVen: From this single emotion I draw power, from that emotion of power I draw life, and from that life I have drawn pain. It has become a pain that you have never before seen. I have started a life that you will never understand. There is a light now that will have forever blinded your eyes...but raVen will help. I will put every question into perspective for you and I will chart the way for many of the wreslers. You asked me if you thought I was up to the challenge, what you need to understand is that I am the challenge...I am the one thing that you can always count on to provide answer. The answers I provide will always be in the form of pain and you can count on every single wrestler having to answer to me...this has become dangerous, the NLW now has a man that is playign for blood and I will start by taking out every man in this federation...I will continue to deliver pain until I get my chance at gold.


raVen's Conscience: Really, when then that answer suprises me. Never did I expect you to be a man that had a dream for gold. I know you have held various titles before and all of them being important but everytime I see you with gold, you seem like a wiser man. I dont know if this makes sense or if you even believe its me, but know that you are dangerous and know that you can have anything you want. With your money being pain you will be able to provide yourself with anything you want. When you signed your name on that contract you signed a part of your life, you signed every thought, every emotion, every dream, you signed away a man whos body has taken more punishment then any mans should. But as you lay in bed at night, and await a certain dreams, you must know now that all your dreams will be different, you will never think the same two thoughts anymore. All of that has to do with focus, from the moment you signed your contract, you became a focused man.


raVen: I suppose that is a good name for it, focus, something every man strives for. When you can honestly say that what you feel is focus it can sometimes be rewarding. This is the very thing that I have built up for myself. When starting my journy in NLW I can promise very few things, infact I can promise basically nothing. For first things...I can not promise that I will have any matches because I don't book the matches. All I can do is show up and work my ass off, which Intend to do. But it seems like this same chapter has been written over and over again. It somehow becomes this overdone story. Who knows, is this the end for me? Can this be the very federation that I end my career in. I just hope I can make this a story of happy endings, because every other federation I have been in has ended terribly. I can't stomach another stage of depression and I promise that I will start the attacks at the ppv. I promise that someone will fall victim to me at supernatural.


raVen's Conscience: What? You mean to tell me that you will be at Supernatural? And you will be attacking someone? raVen I beg of you to reconsider, its times like this when you are capible of anything. I want you to do this, but please keep it in moderation and don't piss off the wrong people. I know that you have the ability to destroy any individual here, its just a matter of when and where. If you start at supernatural you could make a name for yourself...it could be the very thing you need to jump start your career. By making one mans life a living hell you will be able to create the very scene that will keep the people at the edge of their seats. No matter if you like it or not you are now apart of this world. A world filled with pain and greed, one thats dulling to the senses and it's crude, but for you, it will have to do. Just remember one thing, you and only you control your actions and your actions is what is either going to make or break you here...remember that.


raVen: You tell me all of this as if I don't know. You like everyone has seemed to forgot something...I have won the big one. I have made it all the way up the hill and back down. I have done things in my career that only men can dream about. When you dont have a heart and a broken soul you are sometimes at risk to your own actions. I promise to make them a thing of the past. When I look in to the eyes of any wrester I will see many things...I will see another man so afraid of defeat that he will become sick if he must feel it. I will see a wrestler who is so wrapped up in self-defeat that it is hard for him to move. It's not that I know more then any wrestler, its that I take the time to think about it...I often ask myself, "what do wrestlers fear the most? I thought maybe a broken bone, or perhaps getting fired, but actually it's nothing like that...the biggest thing a wrestler fears is defeat. Defeat of himself, defeat in a match, all these things make all of these wrestlers weak and that is what I am out to expose.


raVen's Conscience: If anyone can do it, it would you. I have never heard anyone speak like this...so much anger, so much depression. I often entertain myself with thoughts of the past, with memories of chair shots and a face full of blood...It has become the one thing that you remember, pain. You have taken this life of wrestling for many reasons...for one to become a champion...for another to become the man you have always wanted to be. From the moment you were born all you have desired is love, and never has anyone ever taken the time to think about that. You have always been pushed away in the shadows and at times you were forgotten, but that will all end. When you step back in the ring you will be that posterchild for all the other kids just like that. You have come to be a role-model for the troubled youth and as always, you will impress.


raVen: And my favorite part about it, is that the feeling is never the same...I could pretend that it is all better when really it is only the start, only the start of so much to come. I can feel fueds, I can feel gold, I can feel blood. And from the very second I joined this federation, I knew exactly what I was getting into, I knew there would be pain and there would be loss but from this moment on it would feel the same, I would never be the same. I am playing the man I have always been...never much more then a tormented soul or a lost mind in this game of smarts. I could go up against anyman and I would outsmart him...it would not be far-fetched to see me win gold...because I am just that much smarter. Who knows though, maybe I am wrong about all of this, maybe I will be way out of my league and I will be stomped into the ground. Its not likly but its possible. I know that there is always that risk and that is what I love...that is the very emotion that is keeping me in check. When the rest of the game is played very heavy and you know that you are only going to get caught up in the mix. I have been waiting and waiting to get into this mix, to start hurting people in ways that only I can do it...I know its far off but I have dreams of someday becoming heavyweight champion. I want to be an icon, I want to be loved, I want this to be painful, I want the fans to cheer my name. Its like the ticking of the clock, in my head, each tick brings me just that much closer to getting in the ring, until I can finally reach my goal of being the champion I need to be...for you and for me this will be painful. Nobody can hold this against me though, because you have all be warned and that is the only warning I will give you.


raVen's Conscience: So they must all pay attention because this will only come once. Who knows, maybe weeks from now you will be on the top of the company. I see great things for you and so does everyone else. I could see the joy when you signed your name, they knew they were signing much more then ratings. Keep up with things and develope your mind. Pretend that you have already won and the path will be much easier. They will come to you and you will have to defend and you will always win, no matter what. Even if you are left in a pile of your blood you have won and for that you will be saved, for that you will be saved. Do not fear any of these men because they have no more then you do. Accept your place and move up the ranks, take no prisoners and defend you territory, defend your pride, and save yourself. Make this one to rememeber and always stay on guard, they will come to you, and you will be ready. The game will never end, your strength will carry you to the top.


raVen: So most of this is finished now, and it can be counted and left to dry. I have exactly what I need and every single breath. They have yelled for me before and now they extend their hand. I will never accept. I will forever rebel because I can, and thats the sort of thing that will keep me here. They will dry to hold me down, but I will get away. They can try to break me but I will always mend. I have immortal here and at peace with the world, this is my heaven and this is my hell. And know that I mean it, whenever those jaws drop...to have the fans screaming "holy shit" in everyone of my matches. To stain the mat with the darkest of bloods, yes this is my world and you are living in it. Who do you think made this all a reality, what exactly are you thinking was at the start of this for you. I am a talent that they have tried to collect and even though I am in their name, I will step out of their shadows. But know that when I say, that the worst is yet to come, that I mean every word of it. I will be a virus to infect the NLW...slowly picking off each member until I reach the top.


raVen's Conscience: And really, thats the only way to do it...by going through the ranks you will be able to achieve so many great things. You will develope so many new skills...this run of yours will be one for the ages. Just remember were you came from though, don't forget to pay respects to those who brought you here. I know that you want to believe you made it on your own but really...nobody can do the things you do now. You have made more men bleed then could ever be counted. You know you have what it takes to make it far, but know to yourself that you didnt get all this way by yourself.


raVen: Are you kidding? When have I ever had help? Anything I have done has been by myself. For the basic fact that I trust nobody...I live my life for myself so everything I do or say is to benifit myself. You have no idea when you say that and you, being in my head should know better then anyone that some of the things I have done have been incredible. That is an absoulute joke when anyone tries to tell me that anything I have done in my career has not been done by myself. That is the sort of thing that will drive a man crazy, these self-doubts I have. To hate this side of myself with the sort of passion that I do. But believe me when I say that I have done this all for and by myself and I will be damned to let anyone tell me different. All the sweat, tears, blood, bones I have given have been unforgiven and they will never heal...and I guess I will never heal either.


raVen's Conscience: I suppose you are right. When you stop to think about it, I guess you have taken this road alone, I am sorry for doubting you. Well then continue to do things like you have been doing. You can at any time, become a man that is feared by all, when you get that look in your eye, or when you have the certain gold. You will stop at nothing to become a powerful man...so remember those things as you start your career NLW, and remember that each word you say or each move you make can take you either one step closer to success or it can bring you just another step back. raVen, you need to take the rage, and all the self hatred and turn it into agression and become a threat to not only yourself but every other wrestler who dares step into the ring against you.


raVen:But then again who knows, all of these wrestlers could be defeated by me or they could defeat me. I have given up putting myself above the rest, because right now I have nothing more then anyother wrestler. Right now I am doing my best to become a champion or to keep winning matches for aslong as it takes to be the man I want to be. I do not want to be a self-hater but I cant stand looking at myself. When I catch a glance of my hand or my arm, I would love for nothing more then to just break it off. Thats why I love pain, it's the one thing that can always bring me down to the real world. It will always leave me wanting more. Then again, the disapointment is not caused by much and maybe the grading has been tough but I will overcome. Its like hearing that song that makes you smile or winning that game that you never thought you would, that has been the story of my life and I will continue to overcome until I die. And no matter if I like it or not, it will still be even, the battle will continue to rage and I will touch ties with the past and my old ways. I can feel some of it coming back as I continue to specify. As I draw things out only knowing more now then I have ever done before. The images of victory scroll by my eyes so fast as I much move along to keep up. I will soon rest easy to know that its over and I will have my only friend along side me...my words. I can count the wins or I can be happy with defeat, either path will be without me. I will not become that man as it is much easier then I thought. I will agree to make them happy but deep inside I will strive for more. My life will never be the same after this run as I finally understand that inspiration is the key to success and I know now what I must do and how I must do it. If any of what I say makes sense to you then continue to listen, because you will be saved before the night is over, but know now that this will be the raise of raVen, and soon the pain with start...
