A Stroke of Genius

A large, well-lit room with brick walls. It seemed to be an art studio. Numerous paintings were scattered around along with art supplies such as paint buckets and brushes. One wall had floor to ceiling windows, but they were covered by heavy curtains. It clearly wasn't a location within the new MWE Headquarters.

In the middle of the studio was an easel where a painting was being worked on. The artist faced away from the camera. It wasn't long before he turned around to speak however, pallet and brush still in his hands.

"Italy is well-known for the artists of its past. It's a part of the country's history that will never be forgotten. But that's the past and this is the present. It's time for a new era in Italian art. Mortal Wrestling Entertainment is going to learn all about Franco Rompere's skills as an artist. And when those skills lead me to win the Undisputed Mortal Wrestling Championship, Italy will receive a new entry in the history books."

Turning back to his painting to continue working, the scene faded out.
