Tony vs Don, Intro lookingforcream
The promoter was impressed with Tony's return-to-the-ring win over Matt. He had expected Tony to still be a jobber but during his sabbatical Tony had trained and worked out and had come back with a new attitude.
Tony eventually wanted rematches with Kyle and Chaz to even the score but was willing to bide his time for now. He was sure he could beat either now but first he had to prove himself to the promoter.
Tony had considered either Rico or Tyson for his next match; a win over either would boost his ranking.
The promoter sidestepped the request for Rico and offered Don as Tony's next opponent. He told Tony, "Don is new to TW, no match yet but has a solid background in the amateurs. If you beat him I will try to get Rico for your next match." Tony signed Don's open contract.
As Tony waited in the locker room for his match, Kevin approached him. Kevin says, "So you plan to wreck another rookie's debut! If you win this match you are invited to join the Posse." Tony politely said "Thanks" since he was in psyche mode since he knew little about Don and hadn't even seen him yet."At 17 yr. old, 5-10 and 162 lbs. making his debut, DON!" Most of the audience responded with polite applause but a lot of the girls and a few guys were ecstatic in their cheering."At 15 yr. old, standing 5-9 at 158 lb., TONY!" The audience respond with a mixture of cheers and boo's.
