Maria: I have called this press conference today to bear witness to the contract signing of and to announce the unbridled enthusiasm I have for Spitfyre Gym's latest hot commodity.
[The gossip mill starts running again as to who Ms. Cruz could be referring to.]
Maria: As you all know, I am determined to scour the world in order to bring what I feel are the best and brightest future stars of the MMA world, not only here to IMMAF, but to be an integral part of Team Spitfyre in order to regain our national prominence. And I believe that we have added one more piece towards that goal. So, without further delay, I give to you Spitfyre Gym's newest member.... Talan "Sandman" Stihl!
[Talan Stihl emerges from behind a curtain on the left and saunters up to the podium as Maria steps aside. Maria has the contract already waiting on the table to be signed by Stihl. Stihl taps the mic twice and clears his throat before lowering his head down to speak. Cameras and digital recorders go off as everyone wants a great photo of Team Spitfyre's 'Next Big Thing'.]
Talan Stihl: Thank you, Maria. First, let me say that when Ms. Cruz first approached me back in Louisville about coming to the IMMAF that I was taken aback. For someone of her known stature and tremendous representation to have that much belief in my skills and abilities was simply overwhelming.
[Talan turns and smiles at Maria before re-adressing the audience.]
Stihl: HOWEVER, I must regretfully and painfully decline Maria's invitation. (Crowd reacts in shock and awe as do the stunned Maria Cruz and other members of Spitfyre.) I have decided to partner with Steve Payne and form our own gym, Team Dynamite. We will be based out of Malibu, California. I would like to wish Spitfyre Gym much continued success, as I know they already have a powerful team that will bring many accolades to the Cruz Camp. Thank you for your time.
[Stihl walks off leaving a stunned Maria Cruz behind to field the myriad of questions being hailed her way by the MMA media.] |
