Monterrey, Mexico
So it begins....The Alan Envy promotional tour to solidify himself as a top guy in Guerreros of Lucha. The man that has been a household name in every single promotion he has ever worked...a legend in Japan...and Mexico's favorite gringo. Well...not right now but he will be.
So what's the best way to sell yourself to the Mexican people for them to believe in you? That's easy...you pander and pimp yourself out to the marks. You kiss babies...kiss pretty and ugly girls. Act like you are friends with them. Hell...be their Mexican Dream. Allow them to vicariously live through you. Get the people behind you....and everything opens up to you. Pesos...title shots...free dinners. Everything.
Now I'm sure you are all asking the same question. Why is Alan Envy..one of the most recognizable and best wrestlers on God's green Earth...is a multi time champion and World Champion...resorting to doing something that a greenhorn usually has to do that is wet behind the ears. It's very simple. The Lucha Libre fans are so used to seeing high flying action. Moonsaults...planchas...La Magistrals. They love luchadores that hide their faces behind a mask and never reveal. And these dudes are worshiped. So why can't a guy like Alan Envy be worshiped by the Lucha fans?
He doesn't hide behind a mask because he is one damn handsome man. He doesn't need to flip for a moonsault when he can DDT you into unconsciousness. He was as blue collar as it gets when he worked his craft in that ring. The Mexican people would learn and come to love him.
That was why he was so excited to get to the arena. He knew that even on an off day Lucha fans hung out outside the GOL arena because they wanted a glimpse of their favorite luchadores and luchadoras when they walked into the building on any given day at any given moment. Envy decided that he would give them all a thrill. A moment that they would never forget. It was time to pander himself to the Lucha Libre fan base.
Alan exits the car and puts his hands up expecting some fans outside the arena to rush him for an autograph.
Alan Envy: Amigos….the Icon is here!!
A group of fans look at him and shrug. Envy just smiles as he understands that there is a language barrier in this country. He pulls out his phone and uses Google Translate to communicate with the locals.
Alan Envy: Amigos ... estoy aquí.
One of the gentlemen looks towards Envy.
Yeah….we heard you before. Not all Mexicans only speak Espanol here gringo.
Alan Envy: Gringo? One of pro wrestling’s greatest stars is standing in front of you and you just stand there calling me gringo? I mean here is your opportunity to get an autograph...or a picture with a multi time world champion...and the next Soaring Eagle champion.
One of the men perks up.
Oh senor you face Julliet Brooks...muy caliente….
They all start talking amongst themselves in Spanish. One of the others starts talking louder.
Valiente Dark...él es fantástico...él podría ganar también!
Alan Envy stands there looking dumbfounded as he finally starts walking into the arena. He passes one of them talking about how Otani was going to win and nothing about Envy winning. He sneers back at them as he disappears into the arena.
============================================
Inside the middle of the ring Alan Envy stands in the center looking at the setup of GOL’s Dia De Los Muertos. He smiles as he looks into the camera.
God I love Lucha Libre...I have such a respect for the style and how they set up shows. So colorful...the crowd packed to the rafters with loud fans cheering on their favorite técnicos...such as myself. Mexico’s favorite Gringo. I can't wait to come out here tonight and be greeted by all of the Mexican wrestling fans who paid their hard earned pesos to watch me become the Soaring Eagle champion.
But first….the new hero of Mexico has to defeat three others to do so. First you have Otani...Japan's second favorite wrestler. You know kid...I'm kind of considered a living legend over there...I'm very sure you have heard of me. Hell I'm pretty sure you've worshipped me like so many others over there have done. But you have to put that admiration behind you kid...because this is about becoming a champion for the proud people of Mexico to cherish like Japan cherishes me. You will do your best my friend...but it won't be good enough. But after you lose don't let it get you down ok? A lot of people have fallen at my hands.
Envy smiles as he starts rubbing his hands.
Then you have the resident Luchadore involved in the match...who many consider will be the favorite of the crowd Valiente Dark. Someone who has been on Twitter really stirring the pot without of course tagging me in. Again...I know you are a little intimidated amigo...because you are in the ring with one of this business’ greatest stars in the world. And as far as you being the most popular man in the ring? Well..sorry. It will be me….because I am the man the Mexican people look up to for inspiration. So when I get louder cheers than you do don't take it too personally ok?
He starts moving around as it was time to now address the final participant of the match.
Then there is of as right now the champion herself my dear friend the beautiful and incredibly talented Julliet Brooks. I have known her for many years now. I first met her in Boardwalk Wrestling where we became such great friends. No matter what was going on in my life I could always call Jewels...and still can...to talk. Whether I was going through stuff or she was we are always there for each other. She's one of my best friends….but honey you have something I want...and very soon I'm going to have it around my waist. And even though I don't want to go through you to get it don't mistake as a weakness because I am more than willing to do so. Me winning this title is too important to the people of Mexico and I just can't let them down.
Envy gives the camera a stern look then smiles.
People of Mexico….very soon your champion will be crowned a champion. He will be your Soaring Eagle champion. How appropriate...a Soaring Eagle. Something that is looked upon in amazement and respect when you see one. It gives you a sense of pride doesn't it? That is what I want...all of the Mexican fans to feel when they see me raise up the title after I down three others in this Cobweb Escape Match. It doesn't matter what kind of match this is….the only thing that will be remembered is tonight Alan Envy began his ascent that ended in him becoming Mexico’s greatest hero...their favorite Gringo….it will be a national celebration. Amigos and amigas….get ready..
Envy smiles as he takes one last look at the setup before taking a deep breath. He exits the ring as soon after everything went dark.
