Champion's Welcome

[2face]

*2Face bursts into the locker room with a frantic look on his face. He looks around for a moment. He spots Cathul and rushes over to him.

2Face: Why are you still here?!

*Cathul looks over to 2Face shocked and confused. He starts to back away from 2face as 2Face approaches him.

Cathul: I think you are mista-

2Face: No time for talk now, grab your belt and walk! We're late!

Cathul: Late?

*2Face grabs Cathul by the shoulder and walk him through the door. Cathul is half dragged by 2Face down the hallway.

2Face: New champ eh? Wow, Cathul, the Heavyweight Champion. I never thought that I would hear that. I mean, I always thought that you had the potential, but I didn't think that it would happen the way it did. Big match, big ppv. Even though everyone thinks you're an ass and can't trust you, I have just a bit of respect for you.

*The two walk down the corridors quickly, passing people by. Cathul is still confused and hesitant.

Cathul: Where are we-

2Face: No questions. You sure you'll be able to defend that title? There's alot of pressure on the new champion you know. I should know, been the Heavyweight Champion TWICE. Everyone is gunning after you and everyone is expecting you to lose. But not you right? You got this. I am almost envious of you for having that belt. I mean, I'm a champion too, but you're the heavyweight champion. That's a whole other level. Maybe one day we could have a champion against champion match, but until that day, I won't know what it's like to have a match with someone as great as yourself.

*2Face guides Cathul still through the arena. They stop in front of a closed door. The sign reads: "Sparring with the Fans". 2Face pats Cathul on the shoulder.

2Face: Here we are champ. This is all yours. Go show the fans that you actually care about GX. That you, Cathul, are the man who will take this fed to the top. I believe that you can.

*Cathul's expression changes after he reads the sign.

Cathul: Thank you, 2Face.

2Face: Please, please, the pleasure is ALL mine. I couldn't let you miss this. I wanted us to start off on the right foot of course. Go have some fun with your biggest fans. They couldn't wait to get a chance to do this with you.

*Cathul pats his title and walks through the door. 2Face closes the door after he enters and pulls a key from his pocket and locks the door. He turns the sign on the door. It now reads: "The Village People Slippery Oily Wrestling". 2Face walks away with a smirk on his face. He shoves the keys into his pocket. Screaming and banging is heard from behind the door.

[2face]

OOC: This is Cathul's reply to what happened earlier. Get ready to laugh

*Some time later in the show...

Cathul approaches 2face, his goatee extra glossy, and his robe is ripped and torn. 2face starts backing away worriedly until Cathul corners him. In the blink of an eye, Cath has 2face embraced in a tight squeeze.

Cathul: Thank you, 2face! Thank you so much. I've been looking for a way to connect with fans, or to find a section of fans that enjoy the same things as I do.

2face quickly sqirms out from Cathul's grip, at first trying to fight the monk off before what he said sinks in.

2face: Wait? You're not angry?

Cathul: Angry? Why should I be angry? Everyone knows how much I love history. And for you to show me a group of men taking part in a traditional Greco Roman Wrestling is something I didn't even know existed.

2face: Greco Roman?

Cathul: Yes! Greco Roman Wrestling, the way the sport was meant to be. The Ancient Greeks had it as part of their Olympics to honor the gods. Two men would enter stripped nude and wrestle until one man was the clear victor. This club is full of enthusiasts as well. My how enthusiastic they were.

2face bursts out laughing, his cheeks already red from the uncontainable hilarity.

2face: Oh really? Tell me more. Did you win, or did they manage to pin you down?

Cathul: Some of their holds were rather effective at incapacitating me, but the oil they were using allowed me to easily slip out of some of their most devastating locks.

2face: Slippy eh? I bet there was a lot of things slipping and sliding.

Cathul: Yes, well... they did seem to be rather liberal with the application of oil. I understand in this day and age, these people have to go to work later. So the oil was probably used to keep anyone from getting too injured.

2face: Oh yes. I'm certain some of them aren't waiting until tomorrow to "go to work".

Cathul: There's nothing wrong with taking on a night job to help feed one's family, 2face. I wouldn't look down on them for at least providing for themselves.

2face: You're right, I won't make fun of them anymore. Cath... did they seem strange to you at all? Odd? Maybe a little bit "queer"?

Cathul: Well, they did talk like some of the sailors our trading ships used to take one. They were the one's that didn't stay on for more than 1 voyage. And they called their group the Village People Wrestling, I'm assuming they mean they're from the Greenwich Village. It's odd I never heard of a Greco Roman Wrestling Academy being run in New England. I could tell this wasn't their first dance.

2face: And oh can they dance. I'm glad they were a good "fit" for you, will you be going back against next week?

Cathul: I eagerly await my next group meeting. Next time, I think I'll try to talk them out of using so much oil. Then we'll see how much they like my holds.

[Black Spirit]

ooc: Pretty funny even when I'm a little surprised by the reaction of Cathul.

[2face]

ooc: lol that was the actual reply that he sent me

[cathul]

ooc: Cath is a priest and as such, certain "acts" don't come natural to him. Seeing a bunch of men affectionately wrestling wouldn't trigger certain "responses" in his mind, he would see it the way he is programed to see it. Two burly men wrestling covered in oil is how the greek Olympians competed back in the day, and Cathul would see it as a sort of "Fight Club" for Grecco Roman enthusiasts. I can give you Cath's complete psychological profile if you want it, but lets just say certain deviant behavior doesn't register in his mind the way it would for ANYONE else.

(See the skit with Emma, Cath and Sirus when Cathul had the T-Shirts made that read "Every Cougar needs a cub or two)
