Backstage at Eruption after picking up the victory over Ace Sky, Abby Joseph catches up with #1 Daron Smythe...
Abby Joseph: Daron! A quick word?!
Daron is laid back in a steel chair, taking the tape off of both wrists, and catching his breath after a hard fought contest...
Daron Smythe: Sure...
Abby Joseph: Your first UWL victory tonight, it has to feel good, right?
Daron Smythe: You're damn right Abby! I know I've been around a while, but I haven't been here that long - still gotta pay my dues in this place. Ace Sky is a helluva athlete, and I think he'll only get better here in time, but it's onward and upward! I'm looking forward to the Pape!
Abby Joseph: That's right, you're next opponent is Tyler Barrett - what do you think about that matchup?
Daron Smythe: He's another solid athlete, I can't lie. I gotta get back in the gym, do the reps, and be ready...
Abby Joseph: Speaking of the gym, we saw earlier that you went back to you old stomping grounds, the PWX Sportatorium in McKeesport, PA. How did that feel after being gone so long?'
Daron Smythe: Honestly, it brings up a lot of painful memories - things I'll share in time. But, something about that place still feels like home. That old, shitty ring taught me a lot. That building wasn't nice, but it built character. I think in my first match with Robb Daniels I wasn't truly ready, I needed to get back to my roots. Now, I feel like I'm centered and ready again.
