You can hear the ongoing pro wrestling match finishing, as a referee calls for the bell, and boos fill the arena venue, as a fellow wrestler playing a villain character--known by the wrestling term, heel--wins his match, albeit by rolling up his wrestler in a pinning cover, and putting his feet on the ropes, which the referee didn't catch. It's a signal that your match is next, so you put your gallon container of water in your bag, go over some final things with the booker, & your opponent for the night--in secret, and get ready to enter the arena. As you wait for your entrance music to play, you think about the last 6 years of your life.

When you graduated from high school, & decided to move East, to attend an art school, and train to become a professional wrestler, there were a few who objected to it. Your best friend from high school, Jennifer Young, was one of them. While she was relieved you didn't join the military, & risk your life fighting terrorists & other radical factions, she didn't like the fact that you decided to spend your college years in the Washington, D.C. area, instead of staying close to home, and attend one of the University of California campuses. On the flip side, your four years in D.C. proved fruitful. You were at or near the top of your 2012 graduation class, and you used your pay from working part-time at a coffee shop, to train at various top-notch pro wrestling schools. Through hard work & dedication, you were able to graduate from beginners courses after 2 years of training, and starting honing your wrestling skills after that. While still in college, you had your first wrestling match, performing in front of just 50 people. After graduation, you returned to Santa Barbara, using a combination of pay from your wrestling bookings, artwork commissions & sales, & helping your parents run a sports bar & restaurant, to start making ends meet, & pay off your student loans.

Your entrance music plays, and you part the curtains open, entering the arena floor. Playing a heroic wrestler--or a babyface--the crowd of no more than 100 people, cheer you on. Being that kind of wrestler, you high-five the fans in the front row, before you enter the ring. The fans can see your muscular physique, and sun-tanned skin that is not covered by your gray wrestling trunks, with black stripes on the side, & the wrestling surname, "Grey", on the back.

"...from Santa Barbara, CA," the ring announcer speaks, "weighing in at 220 lbs., he is 'The Wrestling Artist', Nathan Grey!"

The referee in charge of the match checks your elbow pads, taped wrists, knee pads, and your black wrestling boots. When the bell rings, you start working the match with your opponent, showing off your mix of amateur-style mat wrestling learned from your high school days, with the classic American strong style, and a few other international style of strikes, & aerial moves. You take your share of body slams, submission holds, and stiff strikes; and throw some of your own to your opponent. You play out the part where you stop your opponent from using his finishing signature move on you with an evasive move, then hit your own finisher on him, to score the winning pin. The referee raises your hand in victory, and you do your thing with the fans, before returning to the backstage area. While the remaining wrestlers that are working the upper card gets ready to perform, you look around to see where your wrestling travel partner, the one known in the ring as Allysinn Wonderland is. You know that she had her match earlier, and wonder if she is still in her wrestling gear, or if she had changed back into her street clothes.
