Chapter 47: Mark’s New Persona
Mark Weathers came out to a huge ovation. The crowd had already been primed to see a confrontation between Dacey and Diana. It was the reason that most people tuned in to see <Fyre> tonight.
However, the appearance of Mark Weathers, the current LWC World Champion this early in the show was a pleasant surprise to them. And to know that Diana and Dacey will be in the main event was just an added boost to them.
This stoked the already red-hot crowd and the reaction that Mark Weathers got was beyond what he usually got. Mark Weathers soaked in the adulation of the crowd and made his way to the ring in a confident manner.
Sitting at commentary, Rob had to admit that Mark had the presence required to captivate the crowd. For a moment, he even doubted whether Dacey or Diana could garner such a reaction tonight. After all, they will be in the main event. Not just anywhere else on the card.
Making the main event work is really hard for the wrestlers. For one, the audience would have been exhausted by then. There would be more than 1 hour of programming already put out at the minimum before a wrestler came out.
If the wrestler didn’t have enough charm, charisma, and a fanbase, he/she would never be able to carry the main event segment. It is like the ultimate test for a wrestler amidst the audience.
One fuck up, and you will not see the main event slot again for a long time. Most companies, refuse to put untested stars in the main event just for that reason. Putting someone green or inexperienced there would be akin to a death sentence to their career.
However, on the other hand, if you are able to make an impact in the main event, your stock will rise faster than ever before. You will become someone who can be invested in and banked upon.
So, the main event was always a test of fire. It can either burn you severely or make you shine brighter. And now, the entire women’s division will be in the spotlight tonight.
This had Rob worried for a moment as he saw the level of response Mark was eliciting amidst the crowd. This was the level needed to work for the main event and Rob was wondering if either Dacey or Diana had it.
However, as he thought about what he was putting out tonight, Rob relaxed. The sudden change had shaken up some of his plans. But, he had found the right recipe to make it work tonight.
The bonus would be that it will add an additional layer of storytelling to the feud between Dacey and Diana. From what he understood, no one has tried to say such a complex story filled with emotional ties until now in this world.
