so yer the new kid here huh? she said to me it was Reiko Hinomoto the Zero Fighter the Gene of Kamikaze herself with a half smile he said yes i am i'm dez shannon she then said well let me be the first to welcome you to the family my name's Reiko Hinomoto. it's gonna be rather strange you know having a male here among us but fortunately there's plenty of friends for you to make here. She told me with a smile tell me do you have any plans for your future here as one of us?
yes my future plans include making history as the first man to win the rose of roses title
well good luck to you friend because you will have some stiff competition standing in your way including me with a smile she then let him pass as he walked in he had been to the arena tons enough times to know where everything was and it didnt take him long to find the gm william regal's office after we exchanged pleasentries he began to speak.
well i first of all want to say welcome mr ah...
shannon,desmond shannon he said finishing his sentence for him
ah of course mr shannon well welcome to the Rumble Roses and more importantly the WWX family mr.Shannon as i'm sure you can imagine it's going to be a real odd sight to see for the fans having you here as the very first ever male rose but i'm certain you'll give them an unforgettable treat to be sure.
indeed i will Mr. Regal and i plan to make history as the first ever man to win the Rose of Roses title
well well a man with future plans i like that and to start things off i've set you up with a match you sir will be going up against candy cane here tonight so i suggest you make off doubletime and get ready sunshine.
thanks much mr.regal i plan to make sure you dont regret letting me join the ranks
oh and one more thing said Mr.Regal before Dez left have you decided on a wrestler's name?
read the back of the jacket for the answer he simply said as he left
regal read it and put it down Desmond Shannon was now Rattlesnake Rose hmm Rattlesnake Rose quite the fierce name he's picked for himself i see him having a great future here
back in the locker room dez was preparing for his match when of all people both Reiko Hinomoto whom he met earlier and Makoto Aihara appeared and deciding to give the rookie a welcome came over and talked to dez
hi there Dez said reiko as she sat next to him
hello Mr.Shannon makoto said clearly kinda nervous around the new wrestler mainly because he was a man
hey Dez then said looking to them
so your a new face here kind of a shock having a male rose here apparently another mr. regal's ideas to spice things up said Reiko
apparently so and in a very very big way as well but i'm not complaining i'm actually happy to be here
that's good also your first match is against candy cane who can be quite tough indeed makoto then told him but tell me is it true your future plans are to become the first ever male rose of roses?
so i've heard but i figure since i've got home turf here in D.C that it shouldnt be too much of a problem and yes apparently the cat has been let out of the bag about my future plans it's no rumor it's the truth Makoto.
we'll just have to see wont we and as i told you you're going to have a lot of stiff competition in your way that includes of me but also makoto and candy cane as well as others
apparently so but i'm not worried...yet he said as the two got up to leave
at the ring.
the crowd was pumped up and were cheering their heads off like crazy as they looked to where the superstars would be coming out something was about to happen as more looked to the titantron
announcer:the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first...
candy cane's music crazy played and there she stood playing her band then making her way to the ring after messing up the camera by yanking the guitar away and smashing it right into it knocking it out temporarily
from canada she is anarchy in the RR Candy Cane the announcer said
and now introducing her opponent
please ladies and gentlemen on your feet for the newest superstar to join the WWX heis the very first ever male rose from washington D.C he is poisonthorn
RATTLESNAKE ROSE!!
the song hell will be callin your name hits as the crowd goes nuts when they see their hometown boy come out on a big red motorcycle he then revs the engine and roars down the ramp to the sound of the crowd racing a lap around the ring before getting in the ring
the bell sounds and the two wasted little time locking up as candy immediately took advantage going into an arm bar pfft are you kidding me what was Mr.Regal thinking letting a man join our ranks look you may be just a rookie along with being a man but that's not gonna save you i'm still gonna kick your ass and make you cry rookie!
but dez easily countered candy by ducking his body low and using the momentum to toss her to the ground where he immediately goes to work with a street fighting punching combo. oh is that a fact well then obviously you've never heard of the old saying "never judge a book by it's cover!"
Candy threw him off and got up going after him she clotheslined him and dropped an elbow she then picked him up whipping him into the ropes she then said oh i've heard of it alright i just choose not to believe it everyone in my way is just another victim whose ass needs a good kicking
but off the ropes dez hits a clothesline on Candy taking her down he then picks her up and connects with a stalling brainbuster suplex
she groggily gets up shaking the cobwebs out then quickly gaining the advantage with a sleeper and already Rattlesnake Rose found himself in trouble as he goes down on both knees about to be out but his arm moves he gets his strength back and fights off her sleeper by snapmaring Candy. alright the momentum's back in my favor time to finish this soon he then while she was out got up on the top rope
she got up looking for dez not seeing him balaced so well on the top rope dez bounces off the top rope hitting a double axe handle on her from behind bringing her to the ground again he waited on candy to get up she and Dez lock up again. she then said alright rookie fun's over time to put your light's out for good!
she gets the adavntage but before she can apply a second armbar and put him on the ground Dez said then "i think you got it twisted it's time to put YOUR light's out for good!" he then surprised her by turning it around on her and countering with a kick to the chest and immediately connecting with a stunner he called the snakebite Candy Cane was out cold as he covered 1..2..3! ding ding ding went the bell and the crowd explodes with cheers
announcer:here is your winner Rattlesnake Rose!
the hometown Washington D.C crowd went nuts as he celebrated his first ever Rumble Roses victory he then offered to help her to her feet at first she refused finally accepting the offer from the new guy as the two go back to the locker room together
everyone was watching this match from the back to see how he would do and when the two came back they gathered around the the two most coming to welcome dez to the family and congratulating him on his first win ever others with taunts and sneers as signs of what they thought of him thinking he got lucky
you sure gave me one hell of a fight out there for a new Rose Candy said as the two sat down
you werent so bad yourself you were a tough opponent just as they said
yeah that was really something how the crowd was behind you lemmie guess hometown boy right? she asked
right dez said confirming her suspicions
i thought as much she said ... ya know i think you and i are gonna be good friends she said with the same half smile he often wore we're both tough opponents in our own right and i think i get what you mean when you said dont judge a book by it's cover
that's easy to see happening no doubt he said
candy then left as dez gathered his gear and put it back on when someone called out to him
hey you the new guy?
yeah who wants to know? he said the person stepped out of the shadows it was aisha dancing sista #1
hey i'm aisha she introduced hereslf
name's dez shannon Rattlesnake Rose
we saw your match tonight homeboy she said and you did pretty damn good so we were wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out with us dixie reiko makoto candy and fujiko tonight we figure since you such a hometown hero maybe you could show us around
yeah alright he said with a half smile
then c'mon they're waiting
the two leave as aisha takes his hand the others are waiting outside in a big van borrowed by aisha from a roadie with dez in along with everyone else sitting next to his new friend candy cane the van takes off from the arena for a night on the town through his hometown of Washington D.C.
