OOC: Special Thanks to Predator for the use of the character. I am sorry I didn't have the time to let you look it over. If I did anything out of Pred's character let me know...

Manchester
Life for Thor was once again becoming a testament to this simple fact as he was once again visiting different cities for his work. Now it seemed that things were in some ways easier than before but in others harder. As it was flying to Las Vegas from Manchester in order to meet with his GEW tag team partner for the their up coming match on Chaos. Though the reason why Thor was making this particular flight were two fold.
One reason was that he was coming having made his return match in the FWF, a Elimination Chamber #1 Contender’s for the FWF World match that had been declared a draw. The result being that both Thor and his other remaining opponent would be be part of a fatal four match for the FWF World Title in Manchester on April 29. It was the main event for Genesis VIII, the FWF equivalent to Extreme Extravaganza.
The second was more personal and had to do with the fact that Scotland was only a few hours away from Manchester. He had been doing a few things to get more done on his wedding preparations including the locating of a suitable church. But the visit to Glasgow had been sweet after the events of his Thursday night match for FWF. A match that he would reflect upon later when he wasn’t focused on surviving his upcoming training session.
Yet he still had time to make one stop before he needed to fly out to Las Vegas for his Monday afternoon training session with his tag partner his match on GEW’s Chaos. He had one last piece of business to attend to before he left for the trip back to the states. This business found him in a small area called The Eyrie, outside the UCW Arena, the arena that had once hosted UCW. With a careful glance around Thor heads inside to see if he could find the man he was looking for inside.
The sound of training exercises guide Thor to where the man he was looking for was standing with a cane watching as several wrestlers train. Thor gets closer and then chuckles in amusement before speaking. “Hey Pred been a long time. I see that you are not doing too badly for yourself.” Thor watches as the Predator turns to face him using his cane to keep him steady.
“Well, well what bring you to visit an out of service veteran like me?” Thor looks around him slowly then looks Predator over with a grin. “Well a couple of things really. My upcoming wedding, my upcoming Live-wire match and Genesis VIII. You know things like that.”
Predator just nods signalling that Thor should continue speaking. “I remember back in the day that we put on some killer matches for the FWF World Title. As a result I am here to ask if you would be one of groomsman.” Thor smiles as he wait for a reply from Predator. The sound of wrestling training going on behind him.
“Why would you want me to be one of your groomsman Thor? Predator looks surprised but before Thor can answer begin speaking again. “It doesn’t matter why because I gladly accept.” Thor hears this and nods his thanks knowing that one less thing was on his plate of wedding related worries.
“Thanks Pred. I really do appreciate it after all, you did majorly impact my career. I am trying to honor the men who have impacted me the most over the years.” Thor fall silent as he turns to look at the training wrestlers. “So do you still keep up with the FWF these days?”
“Of course I do. I’m Commissioner of the Lost Heroes League.” Thor nods as he chuckles to himself. “So what do you think of my upcoming match against Joe Stall?” Thor asks the question with a bit of interest in his eyes as he waits for his question to be answered. “Well Thor, Joe was one of the first UCW wrestlers and was Marcus Brody Sr.’s tag team partner. He may be old but don’t underestimate him in the ring.”
“Pred I don’t plan on underestimating anyone. I plan on walking into my wedding as the FWF World Champion. I know that I am not a one of the management’s chosen or anything but damn it I will not be held back anymore. Believe it or not Pred you taught me something in our matches. I am going to have to take the title by force and this time I am ready to just that.” Thor was confident and had a fire in his eyes that showed his true determination.
“Good luck Thor. Stay focused and you will win the prize you seek.” Thor nods his thanks at the well wishing. “Thanks Pred, I plan on taking the momentum of my win this week into Genesis.” Thor falls silent and turns to watch the few students in sight train their chosen craft. After a few minute of companionable silence Thor takes a deep breath and turns to Pred. “Thanks for the talk Pred but I need to get going. I have to fly to Las Vegas for a training session. Take care and I will get a hold of you soon in regards to the wedding.”
“Take care Thor and see you soon.” With that Thor leaves the UCW Arena to drive back to the airport.

Vegas
It was late Tuesday morning and Thor had been in Las Vegas for just over twenty hours. He had been there to train for his up coming GEW tag team match. A match that came two nights after his Live-Wire match against “Captain” Joe Stall. Yet after the training session Thor had remembered that he had a few things to take care of in while he was in Las Vegas. Namely he had to show his face at the Imperial Enterprises Chartable Headquarters, the charity out reach program that Thor had created for employees who weren’t members of the Empire of Blood.
The Imperial Enterprises Charitable Headquarters, or Safe Haven as it was known on the streets, was a large three story hostel with several offices and a conference room. It was was a good place to hold meetings involving the wrestling aspect of the Empire of Blood. It was a simple solution to a problem that had been plaguing the group for a long time. The hostel part of the building was big enough to hold almost one hundred people. The second floor was broken into two large barracks style dorm room with bunk beds and two bathrooms. These rooms were the most used as the bottom floor had a kitchen and dining hall, two bath rooms, and reception area. The reception area was there to help keep some sort of order to the chaos involved with helping the homeless and other wise needy.
The beauty of Safe Haven was that it was staffed with volunteers and all but a few of the the supplies needed to keep the place up and running came from donations. Donations that were often from one of the other branches of the Imperial Enterprises structure. For example, all the food used in Safe Haven came from the Imperial Gardens. This made it cost effective to offer the help that so many really needed. And there was a Imperial Enterprises Charitable shelter in every major city with plans to rapidly expand to other areas.
So it was this place that Thor had went after his training session. A session that had left him with several conflicting emotions and a lot to think about. From the time he entered Safe Haven to the time he got to hi third floor office it took about thirty minute due to Thor’s meandering and talking with the on duty staff. He finally gets tot he office and sits down to check his cell phone messages.
The first one causes him to raise an eye brow as it was from his daughter Astryd. The second one was from his friend, business partner, and former roster mate James Jefferson. Both sounded important so Thor called them both back to find out what was up. From the call to his daughter he learned that Matthew Knox and returned to the family home. From James he learned that the indy sized wrestling company he had just signed on for might being needing a new network to broadcast their show on. During that call to call to James, Thor gets him to agree to being a groomsman for his upcoming wedding.
Those two calls were it before Thor settled in for a few hour of paperwork and responsibility. He plugs away the paperwork for a few hours before he leaves to head back to the airport. Once at the airport he was ready to make his flight back to Manchester. A flight in which he planned on getting a nap and doing some reflecting on the way his return match to the FWF had ended up.
~*~*~*~*~
In Flight
Thor had slept for for the first leg of his flight back to the Manchester. This nap had allowed him a chance to rest up and clear his mind for the important work of reflecting on the results of Elimination Chamber. Thor had gotten smart and figured he would record something for his up coming match. He knew it wouldn’t hit the FWF website until after he got to Manchester which was find for him. He had an audio recorder and planned on doing an audio only message so pressed record as he takes a deep breath. “Good evening FWF faithful last week saw my return to an FWF ring. I took part in the Elimination Chamber main event. A match that ended up with a almost unsavory ending. You see only two of the six of us who made it to the end of the match “Captain” Joe Stall and myself. In the end I pinned him at the same time he made me tap out. I am not proud of tapping but in the end the guest referee Christian Lee, the man the winner of the Elimination Chamber was supposed to face at Genesis VIII, had declared the match a draw.”
Thor stops speaking for a moment and takes a deep breath while collecting his thoughts. “Which was done in an attempt to not have an opponent at all. This plan back fired when the Chairman Pain came out and set up a fatal four match for the World Title at Genesis VIII. Yet, that match is over a week away, and after this week’s Live-Wire. My match for this week will be against the one and only Joe Stall, a match that I know I am not the favorite in” Thor takes another pause for a breath as he lets a thoughtful silence follow his words.
“Joe may be an old time FWF/UCW legend. He may be the Chairman’s father-in-law. He may be one crafty son of a bitch who made me tap last week. But in the record books we tied in the Elimination Chamber and are both going on to main event Genesis VIII. Before we get to our match this week I want you to know I respect that you were somebody in the day. I respect that you are not a push over Stall but let me get one thing clear for you. I am not going to back down and let you walk all over me. You got lucky last week with that hold and we both know it and I will not let you repeat it. I plan on walking out of Live-Wire with the win. You see Joe I have a reason to win, a reason to push forward to the top.
Thor pauses once more for a breath and dramatic effect. “You see Joe I am at the top of my game right now and my impending wedding is pushing me forward. I intend to get married as the FWF World Champion and this week you will see just how much that dream means to me. I am not going to let anyone take it away from me. So Joe while you may be a man I can respect, you are standing between me and a world title. I hope you will understand that what I do to you this week isn’t personal but rather business. See you at Live-Wire Joe as you see me continue my upward momentum.” Thor turns of the recorder and sighs knowing that he had to be on the top of his game this week or else he would end up losing. And right now a lose was the last thing he wanted. The image of a thoughtful looking Thor is soon replaced by the Genesis VIII logo and a hype video before fading to black.[/b][/center]
