"NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME."

I've always been a massive fan of Mark Storm. I've been following the man's career ever since his explosion onto the scene from the independents in early 2015, and ever since then I became hooked to the self proclaimed reckoning of professional wrestling. He's become somewhat of a juggernaut in this day and age of professional wrestling, managing to find himself compete in a variety of promotions across the world; with his work garnering critical acclaim from wrestling fans and critics alike.
"Normal people scare me!", that's the statement that stuck with me the most when I met up with Mark Storm earlier on this week, to discuss how his career is going down in the United Kingdom. And he said it so convincingly, with so much conviction to the extent where I actually ended up believing him. "Normal people are content with average. They're okay with their lives being a nine to five, and okay with someone telling them what to do - and not really tapping into their creative minds." He pointed out before taking a sip out of his star bucks cup and crossing one leg over the other. I mean, it's no secret that the man himself is far from normal. Anyone who sacrifices their body, soul and heart on such a regular basis can't be normal.
Unorthodox, that's probably the best word to describe him. And there is literally, no one else like him, and he prides himself on that. "They'll never be another Mark Storm", he stated with confidence before continuing with; "you can go all over the world, and you'll find copy-cats and a bunch of pretenders. I'm the real deal." Something about the way he spoke latched onto me, and I never wanted him to stop. Mark would then talk about how in this wrestling industry, coming across authentic characters was a rarity, and coming across something different to the norm was also rare but he'd found someone rare in his upcoming opponent, Arcane.
"He's been to prison, he's someone - like me, that wasn't born with riches but had to fight his way to that life. He did it through criminality at first, and I've had my bump with the law but managed to find my way back on track. I think we have a lot of similarities. I think this guy is also the real deal." It was evident that Mark had no quarrel or any beef with his upcoming opponent, and unlike other opponents, he wasn't willing to bury him with a series of insults and disrespect. But Mark had heard about the words spoken by Arcane in a promo message, and that too hadn't any impact on him. "He's done his research. No shame in that, bringing up the past is all apart of the job, right? But if you're gonna bring up the past, you may as well bring up what I've done in this industry. Because all of that, it speaks for itself."
