Author: Anthony "Shadow" Craven
Subject: Interview with Anthony Craven (all to read if you want)

[Scene opens up in the televison studios of Wrestling Talk Live in New York City. The special guest of the Day is Anthony Craven. He sits as he waits for the show to start with host Jonathan Walker. The crowd starts to applaud as the opening music plays and the announcer opens the show.]

Jonathan: Good evening folks, today on Wrestling Talk Live we have a very special guest. One Anthony “Shadow” Craven from the very popular Gladiator Wrestling Association. Welcome to the show.

[Tony just nods his head with no expression on his face as he sits with his hands crossed in his lap. Jonathan waits for a minute to see if Tony will say anything but becomes uneasy as the silence lingers so he decides to move on.]

Jonathan: Well Mr. Craven it seems you’ve had a lot of things going in your life recently. Some are good while others are terrible am I correct?

[Shadow looks coldly at him and remains silent.]

Jonathan: Well lets run down the list of what has happened. First let’s get into your relationship with Ms. Sianna Cane. We all knew you had a “relationship” with her but until recently we didn’t know how deep it was. Tell me how could you go from being a man who on numerous occasions belittled her and reduced her to tears at times to being madly in love with her.

[shadow looked at him and replied to the question.]

Shadow: Yeah well, what can I say. When it comes to love I’m the dumbest man alive. To think only a person who dogs the woman he loves can fall in love with her. If you want a poster boy for the most fucked up relationships ever, I’m your man.

Jonathan: Can you tell me though after the horrific news about her losing your unborn child and not even telling you before had, do you still have the same feelings for her.

Shadow: I will never get over the fact she hid it from me and that the only person she decided to confide in what that worthless bitch Mary Jane Francis Jr. And not for the reasons to talk her out of the match but to help her still compete in it. That was the hardest thing to swallow, but for some reason and I don’t know why I still have feeling for her. Even though she recently told me she had none for me, I am still pursuing her.

Jonathan: Why is that? After all that’s went on between you to.

Shadow: Call it, blind love, call it stupidity, call it false hope but for some reason I feel I need to be with her to be happy. I’m happiest when I’m with her. And she’s the first person to ever make me feel that way and I don’t want to lose it.

Jonathan: But how could that be after all the things you said to each other in the past.

Shadow: You know what they about when school children like each other, they talk about one another and they hit each other, well it’s the same way with us. As fucked up as that may sound it’s true.

Jonathan: Didn’t you just say though she didn’t feel the same way about you?

Shadow: Yeah I did, but you know I know better than that. If she didn’t she wouldn’t be trying so hard to push me away, she doesn’t wan to tell me her true feeling either. I probably scared her off when I opened my big mouth but it was all I could do at the time. All she needs is time to do the same and I’m willing to give her all the time she needs. It’s not over between us just yet.

Jonathan: Still the issue of the unborn child. You are going to forgive her for that?

Shadow: Don’t get me wrong, that will never be forgiven and as much as she wants to claim the only reason she told MJ about it was because she was her only friend, that is the biggest piece of shit I have ever heard. The truth is more than likely is she didn’t tell me or Caprice is because even though we may be cold hearted at times would would have never let her go through with it. We would have tied her down before letting her do that to herself. But she didn’t want some one to watch out for her she wanted some one who didn’t care and would let her do what ever. She’ll never be forgiven for that act but the memory will haunt her forever of what could have been. As for the other parties involved, VP O’Connor and Mary Jane Francis Jr. The will get their day. I’ll make damn sure they pay for what they did. They will feel my wrath one way or another and I’ll make them rue the day they ever fucked with me and mine. The will rot in hell and I will see to that personally.

Jonathan: Should you be making threats like that to the people who are over you.

Shadow: I could careless who they are cause they know better than to fuck with me. If they try to get me before I get back at them , it will only make things worse for them. MJ may run the Circle but it will be a cold day in hell before I take orders from her and Ms. O’Connor, she best know what’s good for her and not cross me.

Jonathan: Well then Mr. Craven moving on, let me congratulate you on your big win against Odyssey last week at Crossroads. It must have been a big relief to finally beat him.


Shadow: What do you mean by that?

[shadow snapped at him which made Jonathan flinch.]

Jonathan: Well I mean after a loss to him three or four months back for the Gladiator title you have been doing nothing but trying to prove that you could be him and when you got your chance you finally did.

Shadow: Yeah and now that I look back at it, it was a waste of the better part of my life here. At first I was jazzed about finally beating him but after a week of thinking about it. It really mans nothing to me. Like you said I spent a majority of my time since losing to him the first hounding him for a rematch when I should have moved on and chalked it up.

Jonathan: But you did finally get some retribution out of the whole thing didn’t you?

Shadow: Not as much as I would have liked. Odyssey made me realize that all I have been doing since then was thinking about how to get back at him and prove that I could beat him and until recently I thought that was all bullsh!t. But then I looked back and god damn it if that bastard wasn’t right I was feening over him and trying to prove myself to him. And that is a sad thing. I mean the man has no talent what so ever and I was stalking him because he pulled one over me and managed to beat me. I mean for god’s sake, a smart man would have let it go and not worry losing to a punk like that but I guess that’s what’s my career so far here in the GWA has been about. Sweating the small stuff and losing focus on the bigger things.

Jonathan: Like what may I ask?

Shadow: Like beating that jackass Chris Damm a couple of weeks back. But no, I had to flake out and get my ass handed to me by him. But did I moan and grown to it? No cause well, he was better than me at the time and until I prove myself others wise he still is. Don’t get me wrong cause I’m not saying his bitch ass is the best thing around cause he proved that by losing to the Femmes back at Crossroads.

Jonathan: But he did lay waste to everyone in the ring. I mean he probably could have single handedly won the Legion Titles by himself.

Shadow: Yeah well that brings up a good point by Mr. Silver, who I might add I have a couple of choice words to say about to but I’ll get back to him later. Anyways, Mr. Silver and Lace said the only reason Damm left, was because he was afraid he would lose to them He didn’t want that mark on his record that he lost to a couple of chicks. How would that make the “Main Man” himself feel. You already seen what is has done to Daher’s career by losing to Caprice and you’ve seen how it’s made the Wicked act after getting stopped by the Femmes. So lord only knows what it would have done to his ego to lose to women.

Jonathan: But he did take them out before leaving. He could have just as easily pinned them if he wanted too.

Shadow: See you under estimate them femmes though. You’ve seen enough of their matches to know that pinning them is not an easy task. Yeah he had them down but I know for damn sure if he even trying to pin either other them the other would have broken the count. They wanted it too much to let some joker beat them like that. So instead of taking a chance of having the count be broken he took the cowards way out, borrowing another phrase from Silver. And let his partner get pinned.

Jonathan: Yes well, he still is one of the most powerful in the GWA.

Shadow: I never said his ass wasn’t I only said when things look like they are going to get out of his control he runs like a little punk. And if I prepared for my match against him awhile ago, the same might have happened then too. Who knows though.

Jonathan: Well this week you have an opportunity to prove other wise against him in your battle royale match.

Shadow: As I realized with Odyssey I have nothing to prove. Besides I could care less about this match.

Jonathan: A lot of people have said the same but turned and reconsidered it.

Shadow: Difference is I really don’t care. As I see it the only people who even have a chance in it are that bitch Silver and Damm. Everyone else is just their to say I at least competed at least. What it boils down to though is who has the biggest ego.

Jonathan: What about Odyssey, he’s had quite a bit to say.

Shadow: Like I said, he has no talent he’s more talk than I am, it’s just it took months for me to realize it. He’ll go in and try his best but unlike with me he won’t catch a lucky break. He’ll just crumble like always. He’s more of a choke artist than I am.

Jonathan: Well what about the other competitors?

Shadow: Didn’t you hear what I said. They are a non factor in the match. What it boils down to is who has the biggest ego and who’s ego will carry them to the fatherest. Damm or Silver. Right now my money is on Silver.

Jonathan: Why is that? I thought you hated the Mr. Silver.

Shadow: Hate is such a strong word. Loathe, despise, barely tolerate, those words may fit better. But hate, no. After Crossroads though it may be more true than before.

Jonathan: For what he did after your match?

Shadow: Not just that, but making his grand entrance in my moment of glory. I mean he could have waited till later on with his happy ass to make his appearance but as always he had to take my spotlight away from me.

Jonathan: What do you mean?

Shadow: Up until then I was the man in the Circle, but as soon as he returned all eyes turned to him as being the Circle savior. I was left as the redheaded stepchild no one wanted. He did the same back when we were in the SWA.

Jonathan: That’s where you and him started your intense rivalry wasn’t it?

Shadow: Yeah, he was always a glory hog and when I had a chance to take the glory away from him and tarnish his precious rep I took it.

Jonathan: Your talking about…

Shadow: Yes the infamous Ryken versus Silver submission winner take all match. You know I, the one where I made Ryken tap out instead of Silver. That was classic but then again like I said if he wasn’t such a glory hog it would have never happened. You reap what you sow.

Jonathan: The same could be said for you. If you never did that he may have never came back to try to get back at you. You can say you’re the cause for your own problems.

[Shadow snarled at him as Jonathan kept pushing the wrong buttons]

Shadow: Don’t push it Jonathan. As far as I’m concerned Silver still would have been here anyway cause he misses the fame too damn much. But I want him to realize that this is my territory and he won’t be top dog for long. He can have his little feud with Damm and beat him for all he’s worth and then move on to win the stupid Coliseum title but after that it’s all me. I won’t be second best to no one. Not him, not Damm, not Odyssey. No one, Like I said, I don’t give a damn about the stupid battle royale but for Silvers sake I hope he wins. But I will make myself known in the match. I will lay claim to being one of the toughest Bastards here. I know Odyssey said I like repeating myself but why change what works. I am the Bastard of Wrestling and it’s about time I start to prove it.

Jonathan: And how do you plan on doing that?

Shadow: Oh you’ll see. I will make sure everyone takes notice. Whether if it’s by attacks from behind, cheapshots, or just plain old blinding violence. I will be seen and heard. No one is safe. I’ve said it time and time before and I know it sounds like a broken record but it still holds true. I may have been an easy target, an unfocused fool, another notch in the win column for some but now it all ends. You think you know who I am, you have seen nothing yet.

[Jonanthan thanked Anthony for coming by the show and wished for him to come by again. Anthony, shook his hand said it would be his pleasure as long as he didn’t tick him off again. Jonathan gulped and said bye to the audience as the show closed. Fade to black….]
