Chapter 49: Getting ready for a deadly battle

He was always asked about his ambition and next move as the Grindhouse Omega champion in every interview he went to, and Arnold's question didn't only make people take him as a worthy champion, many were amazed."As a champion, I would give open challenge matches to anyone who steps out to face me and grant a championship match to anyone who challenges me... Anytime."

"It's not as if I'm trying to be full of myself, trust me, this is the way to a true champion, and I'm just gonna try to act like one."

"Champions accept challenges and prove their worth... I am going to do just that!"

His statements caused an uproar on the internet, however, it wasn't as if Max Fury was someone who acted like a villain after all. The fans wanted a brave fighting champion, and it only seemed as if they were already having one...

No, it was already appearing that they were having another. Max Fury was acting like the current Grindhouse Alpha who never hesitated before granting championship matches to those who challenged him.

His name is Tristan Black, well...

That's not what he should be thinking about now, right?

Arnold made sure that he had no special appointment on the day of the show, deciding to spend it with his tag team partner to practice and plan.

The match might have been made a No Disqualification, but it was still a tag team fight, making a team plan required and necessary.

Thanks to the fact that Mark (Bobby Crimson) was his friend. There was this flow of cooperation between them as they met to practice...

Arnold, deep in his heart was happy that he got someone who would assist him to avenge his attack. Indeed it was great to have good friends who would be there when needed.

While Arnold and Mark strolled around the boarding environment of Capside Centre, Arnold would look at him and smile. All these while, he was been a wonderful and loyal friend... The best.

"Tell me, Mark. Why have you really decided to be my friend? I am still just a newbie wrestler... This only shows that you are lowering your pride and level," Arnold asked curiously with a quite serious look on his face.

"Did you just say I'm lowering my pride? Tsk! You should be given a bunch of strokes for what you just said. I don't deserve to be around you, Max. I'm the useless one here," Mark replied to Arnold's question.

The statement only made Arnold perplexed, but he decided to act oppositely and switch the topic. The only thing he believed was that the likings came from his wonderful performances in the ring and how he fought.

Mark and Arnold decided to visit the gym only in the morning and spend more time in the training ring. Arnold also gave off a little them to check on his social media pages and watch some No Disqualification tag team matches that had happened before.

The main reason wasn't just to see how it happened after it knew everything about the No Disqualification Match rules. He was keen to see the tactics the winners of this kind of match use to defeat their opponent.

Professional wrestling doesn't only require power, it requires intelligence as well. With a little knowledge from other matches, he could actually use them in his match to enhance his success.

He wasn't only the one who watched the videos, he also advised Marl to join him as he was also going to be in the match.

Gradually, Arnold found himself picking a point in every single match they watched. Arnold came to discover that a tag team match was far different from a one-on-one match and at the same time, had only a few differences.

When one's tag team partner is down, it is already going to become a handicap match. The opposing team could take advantage of the other if one of them was down, however, there were cases when there could still be a secured victory even with both teams complete.

That was a clear definition of an overwhelming defeat. But it was certain that this event didn't happen often.

"Take one man down, get rid of the other, and win the game"...

This is the main tactic of this interesting battle.

As nighttime came, Capside Centre was already crowded, as usual, with everyone impatiently waiting for the main event.

Arnold and Mark got dressed in their custom and waited for the right time to show themselves, but every match that came early seemed to be for eternity.

Not all matches appeared interesting to Arnold, so he preferred to meditate and relax his brain.

After six matches and a talk show hosted by a high-level wrestler in the ring, it was time for the No Disqualification Tag Team match!

Like always, Arnold got his wrists wrapped with bandages to prevent injuries as this was going to be a match with unfriendly rules.

Mark did the same as he also plastered his knees with them. His in-ring attire was just a red tight boxer, and for not being able to safeguard his knees, he needed protection...

Well, at least, to prevent regrets later on.

Arnold's leather jacket fluttered left and right as though like a king's cloak as they made their way to the arena. As they walked, some people hanging around the alleyway would cheer them up with smiles on their faces, with some only staring coldly at them...

Some even maintain a look of jealousy on their faces, showing the true flow of hatred and jealousy.

Mark (Bobby Crimson) was the first to step into the arena as his theme song echoed through the arena. Due to helping Max Fury to fight Justin Reed and Thane Ryder last week, he had earned himself quite an amount of lovers.

He showed a great act of a good friend and explained the real meaning of loyalty. He deserved to be praised for it.

Soon, it was "Monster" which was sounding loudly all over the arena. A loud cacophony of cheers almost caused the arena to erupt just as they heard his music.

However...

When he stepped into the arena and was seen, the chaos in the congregation only seemed to become more intense.

"Was it that you want to say... Max Fury is out to fight!"

Just as they saw their Omega champion matched in, the commentators resumed work.
