1 Wake up in the ring
Neck pain!
The stinging pain comes like a flood!
Can't open my eyes!
All he knew was that he was lying on the ground.
It was noisy around, with countless people shouting loudly!
He couldn't hear clearly!
In addition to the pain in his neck, he also felt that he was being pressed down by something heavy.
It made him feel almost suffocated.
He pushed hard with both hands, struggled to push away the heavy objects on his body, and sat up suddenly.
Finally, breathing became easier.
Bang!
He tried to twist his neck, and there was a sound of bones resetting.
The pain in his neck stopped, his eyes gradually opened, sounds entered his ears, and his mind gradually began to function even in a dazed state.
[Two and a half! Suppression failed! 】
[The "quarterback" broke free from Jean-Paul's suppression at the last moment! ]
[The Frenchman's suppression was broken free, and the result of the game is once again confusing! JR, your colleague has lost his advantage...]
broadcast?
The dazzling light hit his face, he squinted and looked around, and found that he was sitting on a boxing ring, with a strong young man lying in front of him.
The man was bare-chested, showing off his strong muscles. He wore a pair of close-fitting shiny trousers on his lower body, and his long blond hair was tied into a small braid on the back of his head.
The young man, who was obviously Caucasian, seemed to be exhausted, struggling hard and trying to get up. The look he cast was full of uncontrollable anger.
The loud announcement on the sidelines rang out again:
[Jean-Paul is confused. He didn’t expect his opponent to be so tenacious. He is angry!]
[The invincible "Diamond Cut" did not knock down the opponent, which was beyond his expectation! 】
He discovered that there was a third person in the ring.
Judging from his appearance, he looked like a referee. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black tie. He was leaning down and saying something to him. Unfortunately, the referee's words were completely covered up by the noise from the audience.
He was actually in no mood to listen to what this guy dressed as a referee said to him.
At this moment, there were only three ultimate questions that troubled mankind playing in a loop in his heart:
"who I am?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I doing?"
He looked around, trying to get some clues to answer the questions that troubled him.
The spectators surrounding the ring roared like buzzers and waved their arms in excitement, but it did nothing to solve his troubles.
"Quinn!"
A rich baritone broke through the chaotic noise and penetrated into his ears, causing his body to tremble slightly. He followed the source of the sound and looked towards the edge of the ring.
"What are you doing! Quinn! Don't be in a daze!"
The person shouting stood on the edge of the ring, half of his body was blocked by the ring higher than the ground. While shouting to him, he slapped the ring with his fists.
He was a white man with blond hair, a plaid jeans shirt, an old-school look, long hair shawl, bulging muscles on his shoulders and arms, and rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing colorful tattoos covering his forearms.
The man's face has some vicissitudes, he is at least forty years old, and there are several obvious scars on his face and forehead, which makes his originally handsome face look slightly ferocious, making him look a bit difficult to deal with. Although his words are harsh, his expression is revealing.
Express concern.
"Quinn! Are you OK?"
The middle-aged man with blond hair and shawl shouted the name for the third time.
His consciousness gradually became clearer at this time, and the "Three Ultimate Questions" were answered:
——"I'm Quinn, Quinn White, Quarterback Quinn!"
——"I'm a wrestler!"
——"It is now 1995, New York, at the stadium by the East River. This is the arena for the wrestling tour co-organized by the Independent Wrestling Alliance and NWA! I am in the middle of a wrestling match!"
…
However, he soon discovered that this was not the correct answer.
In fact, he does not belong here. He should not be this 19-year-old American young man named "Quinn White".
Realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Looking down, he was only wearing a pair of flashy tight-fitting sports shorts. His arms and legs were also muscular, with well-developed chest muscles and flat abdominal muscles.
This is definitely not his own body!
His consciousness told him that he should be a Chinese young man living in 2021. Let alone New York, he had never even set foot on the land of the United States!
However, he didn't even have time to recall his original name. Those memories about life, growth, emotions, experiences, China, and 2021 began to become blurry and drift further and further away...
Like a cloud of smoke blown away by the breeze...
Now, except for the fragmentary memories that he had just barely left behind, his own past has become a blur, and he can't even remember his original appearance.
On the contrary, the past memories of the original owner of this body, "Quinn", became clearer.
Memories that don't belong to him are being poured into his mind!
What happened?
"Time travel!"
A word that should be unfamiliar flashed through my mind.
He didn't even wonder why he could understand the meaning of this word.
However, this word provides a reasonable explanation for everything that is happening now.
He replied with relief to the man beside the ring: "Randy, I...I'm fine..."
Yes, based on the memory he just acquired, he recognized the man beside the ring.
Randy Robinson, retired former wrestling star, his wrestling mentor, his manager, and his neighbor.
It's just that what he said just now was in Chinese.
As soon as he finished speaking, this guy who could still be called Quinn was kicked to the ground by his opponent who got up. Then he was pushed around passively by his opponent, lifted up, and fell.
Broadcast: [Jean-Paul recovered from the shock! He took advantage of Quinn's gap and took action! He was torturing the poor young man! The plot twist that wrestling fans expected did not appear, "Queen Quarterback Quinn
Because "still unable to resist the tyranny of the French aristocracy!"
"What did that kid say?" Randy Robinson, who was standing by the ring, was even more anxious. "I can't speak clearly. Could it be that he was beaten stupid? According to the pre-arranged script, he was
How could someone who should have lost to Paul break free from oppression?"
The questions in Randy's mind cannot be answered for the time being.
Quinn is being beaten by his opponent in the ring.
According to wrestling rules, wrestlers will have obvious preparatory movements when attacking each other in the ring.
This will not only make the move full of impact, but also make it easier for the party being hit to predict in advance and move the body in the direction of the blow to relieve some of the force when the punches and kicks are applied, or use the more resistant part of the body to receive the blow.
However, at this time, Quinn seemed to be in a state of dementia. He did not relieve his strength at all and received a few punches and kicks. Then he was lifted up again and fell hard on the ring.
No one knows that the new guy is passively accepting the memory of the original owner, in full view of everyone...
Randy, who was on the side of the ring, cursed secretly in his mind, "M-FxxK! This guy Quinn couldn't have his head broken by Paul. He messed up the first time he came on stage!"
Quinn Bai is Randy's only apprentice. He has been exercising under his guidance for several years and has been training in professional wrestling skills for more than a year.
Today is the first time that Quinn White will perform on stage under the stage name "Quinn the Quarterback".
Randy believes that this young man has the potential to become a wrestling superstar.
To this end, he put his remaining contacts in the industry on the line and secured an opportunity for Quinn to appear on a tour jointly organized by the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and the New York Independent Wrestling Alliance.
Even the competition opponents were carefully selected by Randy!
The chosen opponent is Paul Levesque. He was originally a "first-year" rookie in the WCW Alliance (American Professional Wrestling Alliance). He recently abandoned his tag team partners and switched to the WCW Alliance's primary competitor.
The number one wrestling alliance - WWF (World Wrestling Federation).
In the wrestling arena, Paul appeared on the stage as a French aristocrat. With his handsome appearance and strong physique, he won the love of many audiences.
At this time, the person shouting the most from the audience was Paul Levesque's stage name "Jean-Paul".
But this is not Paul Levesque's home court, he is just a guest guest who comes to NWA to make extra money during his free time.
Although the 25-year-old Paul Levesque only has one year of official competition experience, he is after all a "little guy" who has participated in live TV broadcasts. His willingness to play against Quinn can be regarded as "promoting" the newcomer.
Therefore, for Randy and his disciples, whether Quinn wins or loses, he can use this game to gain some fame in the circle.
Perhaps, because of his outstanding performance in this battle, Quinn can be spotted by a wrestling league, skip the stage of "working part-time" in an independent league to gain qualifications, and directly sign with a major league company such as WCW or PWG.
As for the WWF, Quinn should not think about it for the time being. The requirements there are too high, and Randy has no connections there.
Randy was famous for a while in the 1980s, and even served as a "pillar" in NWA for a period of time, but after all, he was gone.
In order to let Quinn and Paul fight, Randy asked all the old guys he knew when he was working in NWA.
Finally, Paul made a condition to the intermediary. If he did not agree, he would refuse to participate in the game. The conditions were:
This game is not a fair contest, Quinn must lose!
If he refuses, Paul, who will appear as a guest star, can definitely find another opponent in the independent league.
The "fake position" is not as good as others, either lose or give up this opportunity to play. The master and the disciple have no better choice, so they have to agree.
After this incident, Randy had to admit that he was no longer the glorious "Randy the Sledgehammer" back then.
Similarly, NWA is no longer the number one wrestling brand in the United States like the "martial arts leader" it once was. A "TV celebrity" who comes to guest appearance from WWF can decide the outcome of the game.
Times have changed!
Randy needs to ask for help everywhere to get a chance for his beloved disciple to appear.
In order to make a little money, the NWA teamed up with the "New York Independent Alliance" formed by stragglers to organize a tour that had no live TV broadcast and could only earn audience tickets.
Although there is a camera working hard at the scene, everyone knows that the video of this game will only be locked in NWA's warehouse and no one will care about it. No TV station will buy it from NWA for broadcast.
The current wrestling world is dominated by WWF and WCW. They are competing for supremacy. WWF maintains a slight advantage, but WCW strives to catch up, and the gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller.
The remaining second- and third-tier leagues, including NWA, the declining "martial arts leader", have been squeezed out of their market share and their income has dropped. They can only survive and face the situation of excellent players being poached by the two strongest players.
Because only the two strongest alliances have wrestling programs broadcast live on television every week.
If you want to be on TV, if you want to be famous, if you want to get rich, you have to go to their platform.
"Bang!"
Quinn was thrown onto the ring, his body limp and unable to resist.
Randy was worried about his apprentice. If this continued, Quinn's debut would be over.
No one would sign a clumsy wrestler who can't even "take hits and take hits", even if he looks very good.
Randy was silently worried about the future of his only beloved disciple, and thought to himself: "I heard that Paul Heyman from ECW and Bishev from WCW will come to watch this game... It seems that this great opportunity has been wasted!"
Broadcast: [Quarterback Quinn was thrown to the side rope again, Jean-Paul followed up, he turned and got stuck... This is... "Diamond Cut"! ]
At this moment, Paul Levesque on the stage once again used the trick "Diamond Cutting". He turned his back to Quinn, put his backhand around Quinn's neck, fixed Quinn's head on his shoulders, and moved his body forward.
Jump out.
The confused Quinn fell forward as Paul led him, and the two of them fell on the ring together.
The so-called "Diamond Cut" is a neck striking technique. The professional name of American wrestling is "Front Lock Face Lock".
Paul used his arms to fix the opponent's head on his shoulders, simulating the opponent's guillotine. As his opponent hit the ring as he moved forward, it was like a guillotine fell, and his head rolled to the ground. This is very consistent with Paul's French noble character.
set up.
After all, "guillotine" is a fancy technique developed by the French.
This "Diamond Cut" move has strong visual impact, high skill and appreciation, so it is considered by Paul as his "finishing move", although this move is not original to him.
According to the agreement between the two sides before the game: Once Paul uses the "Diamond Cut", Quinn has to lie on the stage and wait for Paul to come up and suppress him.
Then the referee slapped the table three times and Paul won. The game ended and everyone was happy.
Unfortunately, things took a turn that Paul didn't want to see.
After suffering the "Diamond Cut" attack for the first time, Quinn suddenly pushed away the suppressed Paul and sat up for some reason. The referee did not count the seconds three times and the game had to continue.
Now Paul used the "Diamond Cut" for the second time. After landing, he turned Quinn over face down and climbed on top of Quinn again to suppress him.
Broadcast: [The second "diamond cut" of this game, Jean-Paul suppressed quarterback Quinn! One...! Two...]
Paul Levesque was furious and took advantage of the opportunity to suppress Quinn and whispered in his ear.
"This is different from what was promised! You M-FxxK are not allowed to get up again!"
Part of what angered Paul was that Quinn dared to delay the game.
Although this event is not a live TV event of WCW, the organizer will not count whether a match is timed out.
But Paul's physical strength was exhausted.
His opponent was younger, taller and stronger than him, and had greater strength and skills than him. After twenty minutes of fighting, Paul almost exhausted his energy and showed fatigue. It was difficult to maintain a competitive state. If
If he didn't end the game, he might really lose to his opponent.
Chapter completed!
