A little history; [Liam Arrives]

We open in the parking lot, with the arrival of a private taxi. The deep purple-coloured Ford Mustang pulls up just in front of the performer’s entrance. The windows are darkened so we cannot see who is inside, only a rough outline. The boot [trunk for you Americans] pops open and the taxi driver steps out to retrieve a bag. The passenger door swings open and Liam Mortell steps out. He’s wearing loose white linen trousers and a similarly loose pale yellow t-shirt, yet most noticeable is small simple sling, supporting his right arm. At the edge of his right sleeve we can see the edges of the tape, which we assume is covering his right shoulder quite extensively. Liam takes a slow look around, before turning back to the taxi driver, giving him a broad smile before grabbing the handle on his suitcase and trundling off towards the door.

Liam: “Thanks.”

The taxi driver gives a gesture that suggests that it was no problem. Liam enters through the door, wheeling his suitcase behind him. It’s clear he’s decided to forgo the usual shoulder bag, given the circumstances. Walking down the corridor, he is suddenly stopped when a hand grabs his injured shoulder. He lets go of the handle of his suitcase, swivelling around on his right foot, and bringing his clenched left face flying through the air. It stops, just mere millimetres from the face of Herman Cardgage.

Liam: “Herman…don’t…do that…again.”

Liam snarls at Herman through his teeth. Herman doesn’t seem to have realised what he’s actually done, and seems to take offence to Liam almost knocking his head off.

Herman: “This Friday, err, Ultimate Endurance. Your Fighting Spirit Championship, on the line. Daisuke Tanaka. Your thoughts?”

Liam: “You know, I haven’t exactly had much time to be doing my usual research on the man I’m facing this week, but I’ve heard things on the wrestler’s grapevine. He’s a tough man, I’ll give him that, and the match is likely to be very hard considering my injury that has been aggravated thanks to the match last week.”

Herman: “I guess that it wouldn’t…help. So…how did you injure it? Like, the first time?”

Liam pauses for a minute to think back, perhaps to get the facts perfectly straight before telling Herman the story. He slowly rubs his shoulder, wincing as he runs over the most sensitive part.

Liam: “Well, long ago when I was just starting out on the British circuit…a local promoter in my area decided to put me against one of the largest wrestlers I’ve ever encountered. Giant Haystacks! Have you heard about him?”

Herman shakes his head.

Liam: “Oh, I think he was known as Loch Ness in WCW? Well this guy weighed well over six-hundred and fifty pounds, and his finisher was a big splash. Anyway, he slammed me down and backed into the ropes to get a little run up as he usually did. Only when he leapt into the air, he shifted his weight slightly and the majority of this giant of a man came crashing down upon my right shoulder.”

Herman raises an eyebrow, he is obviously curious. It was, perhaps, not the story that neither he nor anyone else was expecting. Surely Liam couldn’t have been as successful as he had been if he has been suffered from the shoulder injury almost his entire career.

Liam: “But the original injury only lasted about two years. I healed, but about a couple of years back I was forced to retire when a new wrestler decided to lock me in a Fujiwara arm bar when a match was over and didn’t let go for a good five minutes. But now, now my body can’t heal that quickly. So I just have to be careful.”

Herman: “But you’re still going to be wrestling, on Friday? And will it be with…that?”

He points at the sling.

Liam: “No, the sling is not necessary but I’m wearing it to try and relieve any pain that may be caused by the extra weight. For the match I’ll put on some extra tape to give my shoulder some support, but it’ll be fine.”

Herman gives an odd smile. Liam looks a little taken aback, and seems to be a little afraid of Mr. Cardgage. Suddenly, in an almost cartoon-style light bulb moment, an idea pops into Liam’s head.

Liam: “You know, I managed to catch part of Tanaka broadcast a little while ago and now that I think of it he mentioned Akira Maeda…because on the card that I got injured on, he was wrestling in the main event. Of course, he was called Kwik Kik Lee over in England…”

Liam chuckles at the name, it doesn’t quite have the same ‘ring’ to it as Akira Maeda.

Liam: “It’s a small world, isn’t it?”

He pauses, turning towards the camera.

Liam: “Daisuke, I do not deny that you are very capable of holding the FSC. However, I’m not ready to give it up yet. I’ve worked to hard to get back in shape, to get employed by a company, and to make my way up the card for it to be taken away so quickly. Do not think that just because my shoulder is at less than one hundred percent that I will any easier to beat. I will give every ounce of strength that I have, I will keep going for as long as I can. I will do anything to keep this title.”

Liam reaches round and grabs his bag.

Liam: “If you don’t mind Herman, I need to get ready.”

And with this Liam walks down the corridor, leaving Herman standing in the corridor eating a melted candy bar, which seems to have appeared as instantly as Liam turned his back. We fade away.
