LARSEN INTERNATIONAL CO.

We’re just hours away from Vendetta when the Larsen International Co. walk into the video frame. New talent and RSW signee, Issak Otto walks behind Lauren Parker who is side by side with Miles Larsen. For the first time Miles carries a bag of his own and said bag is filled with the wrestling gear that Miles has acquired for this match. He was unsuccessful in finding his Ric Flair inspired trunks, so a “Larsen International Co.” shirt and gym shorts with running shoes and knee pads would have to suffice.

“Any word from ZERO yet?” Lauren broke the silence between the three. Miles exhaled a loud sigh as he readjusted the bag on his shoulder, but never breaking his stride. “No, nothing yet. It looks like I’m actually going to have to do this.” .. “You don’t have to, Miles.” .. “We’ve been over this, Lauren. Someone has to. And I would like nothing better than to step into the ring and look Bryce Albright right in the eye, showing him that no one is afraid of him. That he can’t just bully people around and think we’re going to run away.”

Miles said and he didn’t sound so care-free and laid back as he normally does. He sounded focused on Bryce. “And that father of his. I will have to repay him for that cheap shot he took on me too.” .. “Maybe just focus on Bryce if you’re doing this. And like Issak taught you, protect yourself as much as you can when he suplexes you.”

Miles nodded his head, remembering the training that his newly signed client would assist him with. “It’s not going to be pretty tonight, I can assure you that, but Bryce Albright needs to be taught a lesson in humility. He’s not as big, tough and important as he and his father make him out to be. He won the Absolute Championship, yes and I applaud him for that. But he attacked ZERO from behind, stole his mask and has constantly degraded him. He has dishonored him and spat on the traditions of Luchadors. Bryce Albright has to pay for the things he’s done.”

Due to the fact that they never stopped walking, they were at the locker rooms now. Now they stopped and Miles turned to his cohorts. Lauren crossed her arms over her chest, “I understand your logic...I just don’t feel comfortable with this happening. It’s not safe. It’s literal suicide, Miles.” Issak remained silent as Miles smiled softly to Lauren. “Perhaps so, Lauren, but it needs to be done. And I’m going to do everything in my power to retrieve ZERO's mask for him, as well.”

She sighed, “Okay. Well, I’ll see you out there then.” She turned on her heels and walked away. After she was out of sight, Miles turned to the locker room door and pushed it open. After he and Issak walk inside, Miles sits his bag down. His eyes focused on something that sat upright on a bench in the middle of the room.

It was a message.

For him. For Bryce.
