Chapter 99: Global Fist Award
After two weeks...
It was already Christmas week, and the atmosphere had been buzzing with great Christmas auras. Arnold couldn't wait to visit his parents and celebrate Christmas with them... They needed him home.
Unfortunately for Mark, he lost in the secret battle royal and wouldn't be able to participate in the Royal Rumble Match at Fallout. It would be Max Fury, Justin Reed, Kieran Grant, and Lukas Lane who would be participating in the Royal Rumble Match at Fallout.
However, that was aside...
The Grindhouse Wrestling stars prepared for a trip to New York City on this day, 21th December 2056.
It was time for the Global Fist Award Ceremony, so it was normal to all professional around the world to attend. Arnold was initially nominated, but he clearly doubted the fact that he could win...
No way! He is just a young figure. At least winning the Grindhouse Star Award of the Year was enough to make me satisfied for the year.
That day, Arnold, Mark, and Lila were set to leave. The Grindhouse Wrestling transportation van would have to take them to the Chicago International Airport before they took off to New York City.
Just while they were about to enter the van — there was actually more than one van due to the population of the Grindhouse Wrestling stars — a young man with straight black hair rushed forward.
"Hey, Max!" Karl called as he got close.
Arnold turned to look at who had called him... It was a familiar voice after all.
"Hey, Karl. What's up?" Arnold smiled at him upon notice.
"I'm cool. I don't know if I can join you guys... The other vans seemed to have been full," Karl requested politely.
It didn't take Arnold a second to consider... After all, Karl was also his friend. There was no way he could reject his proposal to join them.
"Sure... Let's go," Arnold spoke.
They left with Karl joining them in the same van. There were other wrestlers at the back as well, but Arnold and his friends decided to sit in the front section.
While they journeyed onto the highway, Arnold hesitated and decided to ask.
"Karl... How have you been preparing for the Royal Rumble at Fallout?"
Karl only nodded actually with a smile, a dubious smile...
"I'm preparing just normally... Although I wouldn't be able to make a good impact there, I am just happy that I would be participating in the main event of a pay-per-view in the top shows," Karl said.
This made Arnold flinch, having someone as crazy as Mark have a ticket to participate in such a great match.
Although he actually had nothing to say to Karl, just a short statement would do.
"You should learn how to be confident in yourself... No one underestimating themselves would ever succeed," Arnold said and turned his face to the side.
Meanwhile, Karl, who was sitting next to him, was smashed by this statement, causing him to bow his head and think.
Mark and Lila, who had been listening to the conversation, could only smile and return their gaze to route... Everyone was eager to arrive at the Super Tower Hall in New York City, where the award ceremony would be held.
When they got to the airport, the plane was enough to contain all the staff and wrestlers. Arnold, as usual, sat with his friends, including Karl who had just refused to go his way.
While they sat and conversed before the plane took off, their face turned extremely dark when two figures walked over and sat at the other side... Their side view would always land on this duo.
It was Ben and Gary.
Although Arnold didn't know who Gary was, he only knew he would be some kind of punk who would love to be around Ben because of his riches.
Ben was a rich guy, and many people would like to be around him for financial benefits.
Ben threw a fierce gaze at Arnold at first, coincidentally, Arnold was throwing a gaze at him as well. There was a clash, however, Ben was the first to withdraw his face.
'That son of a bitch!' Arnold cursed.
'Max Fury, watch and see how I'm gonna make your so-called superstar life miserable. I promise you that!' Meanwhile, this was what Ben had in mind.
Karl also noticed Ben's presence, which made him frown. But, he decided to look away and forget everything about his life with that bastard... Ben was a son of a bitch, no doubt.
It took a few hours before they arrived in New York City from Chicago. Arnold and his friends were the first to step down from the plane. Arnold had already made plans to transport his car to New York City before he could get there, so it was already parked and saved in the car garage at the New York International Airport.
"Max. Please, can I join you in your car... I didn't bring mine due to some issues."
Karl, again, begged his friend to take him along with them to the Super Tower Hall in his car. It was so fortunate that Arnold was a simple person as he casually accepted his request and let him join.
"Why is lurking around Max like that? He should go away," Lila and Mark decided to sit at the back before she said these words.
Mark, who was entirely speechless, just couldn't utter a word, shook his head, and smiled.
"Tsk..." Lila scoffed.
They went through a highway and made their way into the main city... It took about twenty-five minutes to get to Super Tower Hall with a 65-kilometer-per-hour speed rate.
When they arrived at the Super Tower Hall, they were shocked that the event had begun. Wrestlers of other promotions had arrived already, looking as if it was only the Grindhouse Wrestling side... Wrestlers of the top shows of Ultimate Revolution Wrestling were there as well, leaving them with no option but to approach their spot.
There was a vacant range of seats at the back, specially created for the Grindhouse wrestlers.
Arnold sat on one corner and sighed...
It was time to get awarded or just drink and eat... Then go back home.
While the top wrestlers aimed for the Global Arm Award, the Low-tier wrestlers aimed for the Global Fist Award.
It was time for the Global Award, and Arnold just...
Just didn't know if his named would be mentioned today.
Perhaps...
