Schiavone, “We will announce the entire card tonight. We will find out who will wrestle for the International Lucha Championship, and this man will debut.”
We see a large man, with red face paint, standing in front of a campfire.
Wolf Hawkfield, “I am the ‘Virtual Warrior’ Wolf Hawkfield. I was born in the frozen wilds of Canada. I lived in the wild, I hunted, fished and lived by my wits. A wrestling trainer, on a hunting trip, found me and took me to the gym and trained me. I took to wrestling like I took to the outdoors. I am a highly trained fighting machine. I want to assure the fans I stand for honor and fair play. I will fight the evil elements of pro wrestling and I will use my skills to climb to the top of the sport. I will count on the fans support and with their help, I will reign supreme in the ring.”
Schiavone, “That is an impressive individual.”
Heenan, “Wolf Hawkfield, hmm, I wonder if he has any money, I mean needs a manager.”
Schiavone, “That’s what I thought Brain. Let’s go to Dave Penzer.”
