MARTIN KARLOFF
In His Study
“The sequel is never as good as the first.” Martin says. He sits in his office, turning away from his computer monitor and looking at the array of horror film posters and memorabilia.
“I will be facing Sweet Caroline once more soon enough and do you want to know a little bit about the few instances when someone survives against the killer in the first movie? They typically get killed off in the second. I see no reason why I wouldn't continue that trend. I am going to finish this with her and I'm sure they'll give me someone new to play with next time. Perhaps someone more willingto accept their defeat and not throw tantrums after the match until they get their way. Doubtful. A disregard for the rules seems to be the fastest path to reward in this company. A shame.” Martin says with a small grunt.
“I typically do not play well with others.” Martin says.
“But if it means dealing out another beating to the constant thorn in my side known as Sweet Caroline then perhaps Lilly and I could see eye to eye. Despite constant reminders of my superiority Caroline persists in her attempts to relieve me of the New Gen Title when it is so very clearly not hers to take. It is important to me, Miss Parker, that I cement the defeat of Sweet Carolines spirit this week before our bout at Ultimate Resolve. As such I hope you understand not to get in my way. My wife has been having quite a time with our children and could use her husband home as soon as possible and until Devlin Scott decides I am to be paid by the hour I will see to it this match is over with quickly.” Martin says.
“My partner is relatively inexperienced. I was relatively inexperienced more recently than I care to admit but that did not stop me from easily rising to the ranks of 'monster' in an industry where that term typically only applies to seven foot beasts who can barely move. Though Miss Parker seems much more carefree than I did in those times I would advise her to focus. I have no quarrel with her but this is not developmental and I am not here to babysit. Forgive me if this is coming off as rude, I do not intend for it to. I just do not want anything to stand in my way. You are a worthy competitor but I have no time for puppies and rainbows.” Martin says. He examines a poster for 'Nightmare on Elm Street' in his office for a moment
“Courtney. Many congratulations on your recent wedding. You seem to think I am some nobody gunning for your title when in fact you couldn't be any less on my radar. I am no 'Young Lion', Courtney. I have a proper championship to defend and this is merely a sideshow act before Ultimate Resolve. You can rest easy knowing I am incapable of caring less about your title. If you are smart you will not make any further attempts to gain my attention. It is not attention you want.” Martin says.
“Every other time some lady or gentleman pops up in 'creepy' facepaint and covers themselves in fake blood as if they are some sort of escaped mental patient, the rest of the roster rolls their eyes. Me? I have shown that I am more than worthy of the airbrush, where tactical brilliance meets the ferocity of the Manticore. That is who you are facing Courtney. Ask your partner what it's like facing a man who knows what you are going to do even before you do...and not through 'mind powers' as my oft-ridiculous mentor Johnathan claims. You are stepping up to play against a man who will break you in front of a cheering audience and not lose a wink of sleep over it. You and Sweet Caroline are going to scream for me, Courtney. I can't wait....to hear you scream.” Martin says, a small smile crosses the lips of the Monster Messiah. He turns back to his desk and resumes studying video of his opponents matches.
