Evolution and the Future

Kronin and his twin sister Kara sit in their hotel room reviewing a report. Kara looks up and sighs. “ So how much of this do you think is true?” She asked as Kronin took another look at the papers he was holding. “Depends on who put it together. I take Vastrix at his word that he’s trying to change things.. Giving Valora and I access to the company’s files doesn’t make sense otherwise, however not everyone in the company is going to be onboard with Vastrix’s view.” Kara nods. “Well evolution is a slow, painful process at times, speaking of which.” Kronin nods. “My opponent for this week. Yeah. I think Lilly summed him up best when she referred to his promo as bad beat poetry. Still, he’ll learn the same thing they all learn. Talking is easy. When you’re in the ring and trying to deliver on that talk and turn it into action, it’s a bit harder.” Kara nods. “Speaking of… I want to get involved.” Kronin stopped in mid action of his examination of the report in front of his and glanced up at his twin sister. “Involved, how exactly?”

Kara narrowed her eyes a bit. “I want to start fighting too. Think about it.. We’re twins. In addition to the training we’ve both had, we have the twin connection.. We’re always on the same page. We’d be unbeatable as a tag team.” Kronin did his twin sister the courtesy of thinking about this for a few moments and sighed. Without him saying anything, Kara, seemingly reading her twin’s mind rolled her eyes. “Why not?” Kronin nodded. “For starters.. Most rookies are half our age.. It’s very, very late for you to start a career as a professional fighter. Secondly, professional fighting is not the military, it’s not the GSG-9. You’re not fighting terrorists, or criminals, well okay maybe some of them are criminals, but it’s not life or death… winning the fight is not enough, you have to win in a way the crowd will find entertaining. You have to give them a reason to cheer for you.”

Kara, without missing a beat nods as she stands up. “Treating fights like life or death seems to work for Valora.. Who, by the by, is winning a lot more often than you are at the moment.” Kronin nods. “Yeah and her mentality has led to her being an alcoholic, and suffering almost every kind of injury known to man at least 3 times. I’m continually surprised she isn’t crippled yet.” Kara nods. “So what’s the explanation for the other half? Your struggles.” Kronin shrugs. “I suppose age is catching up with me. I’m almost 40 years old.. Maybe, just maybe… this is my last run.. To tell you the truth, I’ve been thinking a lot lately.. Maybe this year, this season, this rotation, whatever you want to call it, is my last. It might be time to hang up the boots.” Kara blinked in surprise. “But you love this.” Kronin laughs. “I don’t love losing every week. I don’t love hearing. “Wow, there’s Kronin, he used to be really great. This business is passing me by. Valora somehow is managing to stay competitive as she ages but I seem to be having trouble staving off the inevitable effects of age. We’ll see how things go, I don’t have to make a final decision right away.” Kara smiles a bit. “Simple, go beat the crap out of Evolution. Show the new kid you’ve still got it.”

Kronin laughs, snapping his fingers. “Just like that? What do you suggest I do?” Kara smirked and looked her brother right in the eyes. “Show him why they call you the best technical wrestler in the world. Show this Evolution guy why they call you the German Suplex machine. Suplex his ass back to whatever pit of primordial goo he crawled out of and make it clear to him that he’s the one who needs to evolve, not you.”
