Somebody once wrote: "Hell is the impossibility of reason". That's what this place feels like. Hell.
Individual beads of sweat formed themselves on each and every single pore on his body. By now, the t-shirt had become nothing more than a rag to wipe the sweat that had begun to drip profusely from his brow. As he struggled with each breath, he stared down at the puddle of sweat that had formed directly below him on the Polyethylene foam wrestling mat. His breathing became staggered, and he was lucky to get a breath of the dirty air pushed into his lungs after every push-up he successfully completed. The booming voice echoed throughout the small, nine-by-nine foot wrestling room, in which consisted of nothing more than the mat that covered the entire floor and the two men. Camisado looked up at the man and attempted to yell back, though his voice had a mere affect compared to the much larger man's.
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
How.. hot, Knucks?
.¢|Knuckles|¢|:.
Hundred-Seven degrees, Cami-Boy!
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
I told you it felt like Hell in here.
As soon as Knuckles' rough voice left his lips, Camisado's now frail arms collapsed beneath all the weight of his body. It was obviously time to move on to something else, push-ups were out of the question. Knuckles frowned as he yelled once more.
.¢|Knuckles|¢|:.
Pick your ass up and run ten laps across the room!
Camisado groaned pathetically and slowly picked himself up off the ground, and began to run back-and-forth across the training room, seemingly at a snail's pace.
.¢|Knuckles|¢|:.
RUN!
Once again, his booming voice bellowed throughout the room, causing Camisado to stumble a bit in his jog, though he mustered all the strength he could find inside his body to pick up the pace to a speed acceptable to his trainer's likings.
.¢|Knuckles|¢|:.
You're gonna be tired during Jealousy! You're gonna get tired during these matches! You're gonna get tired in the championship! You're gonna have four matches in that one night! You're gonna be tired as hell, Cam! You're gonna have to search deep down for all that you've got! I know you've got it, I see it now! Now RUN! This is where champions are made, this room right here! If you can kick your ass into gear in this room, you can do it anywhere. It's hotter than hell in here, it's gonna be around eighty degrees, eighty-five degrees tops in St. Louis that Saturday night! So kick you ass into gear now, you know it's gonna pay off! WORK!
The scene began to fade as Camisado is seen running nine feet, down-and-back, continuously, Knuckles yelling the entire time he runs, though Cam never again lost the pace he had set for himself, and if anything, he got faster as it went on. In all, he ran non-stop for upwards of an hour until Knuckles stopped him.
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength, but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to shower, no energy to go out, not even the energy to push the buttons on the remote. The second I get home, I'm flopping on my couch, and I'm out cold. I wake up around noon-time the next day, and back to Knuckles' room I head, back for another nine hours of training. I'm beginning to feel sick, I think dehydration's setting in, but in all honesty, I don't care, I can't be bothered to get up off this couch and get a glass of water, the sink is just too damn far and frankly, I'm not sure it's really worth it.
Camisado plainly lies on the couch and slowly closes his eyes, as if it would take too much energy to close them quickly. The scene flips to a black screen as Camisado's voice is heard.
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
You know, I don't get to say this all that often, but my life has amazingly been going well lately. I mean, I'm coming back to FWF, and not only that, I've got a match this week on Live-Wire. It was just last Wednesday that I talked to Live-Wire's DOA, Mark Briggs about coming back to show everyone that taking a break was indeed the right decision for me. I mean, months ago, after I lost the title to the Devil, of all people, I was feeling like I was nothing but dust in the wind, that miniscule. But now I'm once again feeling great, and Briggs saw that, so he did something that amazed me: he convinced Commissioner Mike Farrell to put me in this year's Jealoust tournament, and here I am. Next Thursday night on Live-Wire is my opening round match, against Shawn Fuller. It's something I look forward to. He's a good guy, but he's not half the wrestler I am, and we both know that. All he can hope for is that I bear a bit of ring rust, that's his only hope in this match. Plain and simple.
~Don't think too hard about it,
You never knew I'd get this far,
Would get this far without you.
Relax, stand back and watch it happen.
I'll wave my goodbyes into the night and say~

Camisado plainly stands in front of the door to Knuckles' wrestling room. The glazed-over look on his face indicates that he had a rough night of sleep last night. His hair is messy in the back, which probably means he has yet to take a shower, and he probably smells still from yesterday's workout, but that's no problem considering he's about to work his ass off once again, despite the aching of every last muscle in his body, even the muscles he never even knew he had. His right hand had formed a limp fist, and he weakly smacked the door a few times, to nearly no avail. For over a good minute or so, he impatiently waited, eventually letting himself into the room, finding it to be empty. Knuckles was nowhere to be found. Camisado laughs ironically as he allows his body to limply fall, laughing the entire venture to the mat.
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
Oh, come on! Ahaha!
.¢|Camisado|¢|:.
I've even lost track of the damn days! It's Tuesday! Knucks left this morning!
Camisado, still giggling to himself, grudgingly picks himself up off the ground and stomps off, out of the room, slamming the door behind him, though not really purposely. He begins to trudge the short distance down the narrow, laminate-floored hallway to his own locker room. He fumbled with the key to his door, and that could have happened either because he's too damn tired to see the keys straight or simply because he was still in awe about the fact that his door was locked for once. Regardless, he took his fair share of time messing with the key ring before something on the floor caught his eye as he was looking down at the silver-spackled flooring. Much to his dismay, he leaned down to pick up the off-white colored envelope from the floor, fiercely ripping it open to get his rough hands it's confines. Still standing in the middle of the hallway, he begins to read the letter to himself aloud:
Dear Ryan,
Sorry I had to leave you on your own right now, but you're back up on your own, you can handle it. You're ready for this match; I can tell. You've trained harder in the past four weeks than I've seen you train any time in the past seven years, I've got to say man, I'm impressed. I'm sure you'll do fine Thursday night. You just gotta remember that, as good as you are, Fuller's still been wrestling for the past two months, and you haven't. Ring rust is inevitable in this situation. But it's the amazingly good wrestlers like yourself that can overcome that.
This is Jealousy, man. I know I don't have to remind you of that, but you're gonna hear it regardless. I can't stress it enough, Cam. I've never won a Jealousy, but I've spent the past seven years training you, and I know I've made you into a better wrestler than I could ever dream of. I've made you a better wrestler than both your brother and my son. Josh and Chase don't have shit on you, you know that. I don't even have shit on you. You could take me, even despite the size difference. You know who else doesn't have shit on you? Shawn Fuller. This guy doesn't know what he's doing. And you know why? It's because he doesn't work his ass off quite like you do. You know your stuff better than anyone around. Hell, you know his material better than he does. I have no doubt in my mind that you, out of every single wrestler in FWF, have the most stamina. Kid, you can go on for miles in a match. I know it. Your opponents know it. And after you push your limits, you'll know it. I also have no doubt that you're the quickest guy in the company, quickest there ever was in this place. No doubt. And right now, you're also the guy with the best technique. You're the best damn wrestler out there, Ryan! You didn't win any state titles for Male for nothing! You were the best amateur wrestler in a breeding ground for wrestling, and now you're the best technical wrestler in all of pro wrestling! I believe it, do you?
And Ryan, despite you being quick and technical, YOU ARE STILL THE MOST ENTERTAINING! People come just to see you wrestle, you know that? They really do. I'm proud that I made you into the man you are today. Thanks for making me the greatest trainer in the world, even if it is only in my own eyes.
If I don't see you Thursday night, you'll be hearing from me, so stay close to the phone, even though I know you never let that thing out of your sight. I'll be there at Jealousy, no matter what.

Camisado, after spending a good amount of time reading this letter, took a deep breath, seeming convinced by what his mentor, trainer, and most of all, the closest thing he's ever had to a father, had said. He truly believed that this match was his. All he had to do was focus and shed the ring rust. He averted his eyesight from the letter and finally opened the door to his room, quickly closing it behind him. He threw his plain white rag of a shirt off, into the corner of the room as he ran into the bathroom. Running into the bathroom had been the fastest thing he had done thusfar today. It was a sluggish morning for him, despite the fact that it was already past noon. Leaving the door behind him open, he flipped up two switches, one turning the double lights on in the bathroom, and the other turning the fan on. A low-pitched humming sound then filled the room. Camisado then reached his right hand inside the bathtub area, turning the knob to trigger the water. Though knowing what he was going to get, he decided to "test" the water. It turned out to be nearly ice-cold. He decided to burn a couple minutes by shaving, a chore which he hadn't performed in quite some time. That was probably a smart decision, as he should at least look presentable his first match back. Nobody needs to know he's a total bumb aside from his practicing.
The whole shaving cream fad had never caught on with him; He had always preferred a quick rinse of his face, followed by a lathering of hand soap. It just worked better in his opinion, he didn't need an incredibly close shave, all that matters was that it was gone. Camisado pulls his green-and-black disposable razor off the counter top near the sink and cuts the patchy beard that had begun to infest itself on his face. As Camisado finishes, he wastes no time at all dropping his black-and-white striped shorts and hopping behind the curtains, into the steaming shower, just as the scene fades to black.
~Don't think too hard about it,

Would get this far even with you.
