Pro Wrestling System

Chapter 25: The Interview

After a few hours, Arnold arrived at the Greyhams Superstar Show building. The building structure looked more like a skyscraper, but the last floor was built with brown bricks and huge blue glasses at the extreme top.

It was located in a bustling street that had many commercial organization buildings around... However, this expanse still held a deep sense of peace. After all, countless security personnel could be spotted in every nook and cranny.

Every traitor would surely have a second thought around there.

Coming out of the car, Arnold was welcomed by a man and woman who were also putting on suits.

"Good day, Max Fury. You are humbly welcome to our interview show," the lady with skin that possessed a chocolate color smiled and said.

"Thank you very much," Arnold only said.

"This way," the fair-skinned said as he showed Arnold the way into the building.

"After you both," Arnold smiled.

The man nodded and took the lead with the lady and Arnold following suit.

Arnold was given a room to stay before the show began. Some refreshments were brought to him and some papers that held the questions he would be asked. This was to make him ready and avoid some unprofessional acts while being LIVE on TV.

When the show time was drawing near, he was invited to the preparatory room for some makeovers and mic-fixing.

Arnold, never in his life, had thought that he would treated so well this way someday. He didn't only get a thousand dollars for the interview, but he also got a free transport ride in a luxurious car and pure good treatment as he arrived.

It was already looking as if he was a Rampage or Slamdown Superstar...

'Did they forget that I'm just a low-level Grindhouse wrestler???'

Arnold asked himself repeatedly.

When it was already time for the interview to begin, Arnold walked into the shooting room. The host of the interview was right inside sitting on a chair directly opposing the second.

Arnold walked calmly and sat on the other chair as they waited for the countdown to the start of the show.

In less than a minute, the show began.

"Good evening lovely viewers, it's another Greyhams Superstar Show interview, and guess what? We are getting in touch with the new Grindhouse wonder superstar, Max Fury!"

"Welcome, Max Fury. We are so glad to have you on the show today," the interview host said with a smile.

"Thank you very much. I'm glad to be here too," Arnold forced a smile.

Truthfully, he was an introvert who didn't like too much talk. He barely stayed in a long conversation with people. But now that this involved money and a boost to his popularity, who was he not to adapt?

Arnold clearly saw himself on a TV screen hanged in one corner of the shooting room. He suddenly appeared to be so handsome and wealthy-looking, which was just the handwork of the makeover team.

He had never thought that he could look like this one day.

"So, Max Fury. There have been countless videos and pictures of you going viral on the internet. Can you say something about your training lifestyle? Did you really train all day without a single rest?" The host asked.

"Actually, I do train for a long time, but that doesn't stop me from giving my body its required rest."

"My sys..."

'Oh shit!'

"Sorry, I have a fitness planner who helps me to plan out my training periods to prevent misusing my time so..."

Arnold smiled.

But the show had already turned awkward. Arnold almost mentioned the system!!!

'Crap!'

"Alright, Fury. Can you please tell us what you've got to deliver on the Fatal Five-way Elimination Match tomorrow night? It's again, another main event you would be involved in," the host asked.

"I have got what it takes. Even if I'm the only weak figure in the match, I will still come out victorious," Arnold boasted.

Well, only he knows that this was for "impression" sake.

"That's bold of you, Max Fury. Your fans are also eager to see you face the Grindhouse Omega Champion for the title. What do you have to say to them?"

"It's clear. Once I win the Fatal Five-way Elimination Match, I'm going for the title and I'm winning it," Arnold spoke with determination.

Even the host of the show felt that courage, her smile showing her reaction to it.

Although it was going to be a tough game...

Determination is a success!

After a few more questions, the show ended and Arnold was carried by the same Toyota Land Cruiser Prado back to the Grindhouse Wrestling arena.

It was already late in the night, however, Arnold was shocked to see Lila and Mark still waiting for him in the gym.

"Hey, why are you guys still here?" Arnold asked surprisingly.

"Did you forget you told us that we are going to be having a long training session today? Oh, I guess you were so carried away by Greyhams Superstar Show," Lila laughed slightly.

It was now that Arnold remembered that they were to workout in the gym until it was almost dawn. He needed enough attribute points to win the Fatal Five-way Elimination Match.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot," Arnold sighed.

"We watched the interview. C'mon, you are being too courageous, bro," Mark cut in.

"Of course, he should be, right?" Lila smirked.

"I'm not being too courageous. That's my word, and I'll do what I say," Arnold spoke.

"One of your opponents lost his title to the current champion. There is also a guy who was demoted to Grindhouse Wrestling from Slamdown. These two may be your main threat. But one of the remaining three wouldn't just be a threat, he is a devourer," Mark explained.

He was also in the Men's division so he had an idea about the whole thing. He had fought against a lot of these men, so he gave Arnold a review of their wrestling personality.

At least, this was one of the advantages of their friendship.

"They might be brutal for all I care, I'm still going to win," the right side of Arnold's lips curled up for a smirk.

He had no idea of his opponents' names until a card was brought to him the next morning while he was in his room.

Taking a look, four strange names holding a sense of brutality could be seen written on the card.

(You will be taken on Landon Bishop, Thane Ryder, Caspian Night, and Orion Silver in a Fatal Five-way Elimination Match for a No. 1 Contender ticket for the Grindhouse Omega Championship.)

"Interesting..." Arnold sighed.

"Game on."
