*A socially distanced and numerically restricted audience of reporters murmur to themselves as they wait in the media center of Mississauga city hall. There is an air of formality despite today’s event being as unorthodox as it is. Without too much wait, an intern or lower-level staffer makes the announcement.*
Staffer: People of the press, the Mississauga city council and Mayor Bonnie Crombie.
*The people in attendance stand up as in files the eleven city councilors representing the wards of the city. They flank the podium in the front- all masked but not socially distanced (why do politicians not get that part?). Following them the mayor makes her way to the front. Cameras flash.*
Crombie: People of the press and those who are watching at home; thank you for joining us today. As your elected voice of Mississauga I am very proud of what we have done as a community. We are a city of heroes- doctors, nurses, teachers, and all of the other hard working people that make up our community. However, sometimes, one of our members stands head-and-shoulders above the others- and not just physically. Today we are here to honor one such individual for not only his efforts to improve the conditions of our city but also for his act of bravery in halting a would-be kidnapping. Everyone, I give you the newest hero of Mississauga, Lord Dominicus!
*The press and city council applaud as NPW’s self-proclaimed Triple Crown champion walks into the room. Instead of being draped in gold, he has opted to wear what appears to be a black hat sporting three crowns on it. Honestly, between the hat, the mask, the black robe (but no shirt? Come on LD), and a rather off-putting staff, the whole scene is somewhat ghoulish. But the people of Mississauga have learned to look past LD’s rough exterior and accept him for what he was. Dominicus makes his way to the podium and now shares the center stage with the leader of the community.*
Crombie: Lord Dominicus, though not a native of our city by birth, you have distinguished yourself in the qualities that make up our people. Your selflessness and generosity will be felt by us all. And so we welcome you as an official member of our ranks. Lord Dominicus, I bestow upon you the Key to the City of Mississauga.
*She hands Dominicus an ornate ceremonial key and they elbow bump instead of shaking hands.*
Crombie: Would you like to say a few words?
LD: YES I WOULD!
*The mayor moves out of the way juuuust fast enough to where Dominicus didn’t need to push her.*
LD: Yes everyone here in Mississauga, it is I, your TRIPLE CROWN champion!
*He points to the literal triple crown on his head.*
LD: I, your conquering villain have taken NPW’s North American Double Crown Championship and added it to my already incredibly prestigious NPW North American Cruiserweight Champion to make me the ONLY Triple Crown Champion and currently ONLY singles champion in the company.
*Silence. The people there were probably expecting something more official. Haha, fools.*
LD: Now I have risen not only to the top of NPW through my banishment of Eric Dane but also to the top of this community through his humiliation via painting and for overcoming a minor scuffle last week. Gaze upon your DARK LORD, Northern Pro Wrestling….and greater Mississauga as well!
*Is this guy for real?*
LD: For my efforts I thank you Vassal Crombie and your administrators for bestowing your servitude upon me and giving this wider audience in order to address my opponent on March 30th. Niko! In our past clash you proved yourself to be a worthy foe. You were unable to put me away- but really who is these days? However, you were able to fight me to a standstill and remind the serfs at home why at the time you were NPW Tag Team Champion. For this you gained my respect.
*He pauses*
LD: However, respect is not what we are going to be trading in just a few short days. No, Niko, you and I will be facing off for one of NPW’s most coveted titles, the NPW North American Cruiserweight Championship- my crown jewel here. I wish upon you the greatest of luck because I will be bringing my very best against you- because I know that you are a formidable opponent.
*Dominicus tries to sling the key over his shoulder, but obviously that doesn’t work, so he puts it down on the podium*
LD: No Niko, while most in our industry look past you for your somewhat strange nature and odd speech habits- I do not. You did not suffer through the American educational institution-
*Some giggles come from the Canadian crowd*
LD: -Nor have you dealt with the various cultural issues that have formed the rest of us. You are from another planet! And the future! Your ways are not our ways, and as a representative of present-day-earth I am honored to punch your face in to welcome you as one of us- as is our custom. But!
*He holds up a finger*
LD: Do not take my honor as weakness. I am the TRIPLE CROWN Champion of NPW and I will vigorously defend my titles as the EVIL LORD that I am. I shall bring my full DARK WRATH upon you, and hopefully use you to make a point to the rest. Should you beat me, then so be it. However, today I am also here to finalize my quest. But I need…..
*He surveys the city council members, then stop at one of them (Matt Mahoney)*
LD: You! I need your help!
Mahoney: Me?
LD: Yes! Give me one of your suit buttons! They’re black enough! Here, I brought scissors!
*Indeed he did, and the scissors are handed off to the council member who laughs, shrugs, and frees one of the buttons. He hands it to Lord Dominicus.*
LD: YES! THE EBONY STONE QUEST IS COMPLETE! Dinosaur Bones! Bring me the Ebony Claw!
*His Bad to the Bone partner comes out with the black metal gauntlet in his claws and hands it to our EVIL Champion.*
LD: Yes! Behold as I add the final Ebony Stone!
*He affixes the button onto the Midnight Claw and puts it on...*
LD: NOW ALL SHALL FALL BEFORE THE MIGHT OF LORD DOMINICUS!
*He laughs evilly. The mayor of the city leans into the microphone.*
Crombie: Haha! That’s our Lord Dominicus!
*The entire crowd laughs along with LD, him because he’s achieved all of his goals- them because of his “wacky antics.” What will become of our world?*
