Cinder shows up outside of Mark's office. He is dressed in blue jeans and a Mortal Kombat designed shirt. He adjusts his sun glasses then knocks on the door. He waited for Mark to open the door of this unannounced meeting.

Mark jumped from his desk. Nobody had ever knocked, even the interns just run in and out when they need to check something
Yea come in.
He was surprised to see Cinder, well anyone for that matter
A Cinder, take a seat and don't mind the mess. What brings you to see 'Smart' Mark?

Cinder walked in and took a seat in Mark's office. Cinder looked around the room for a moment before setting his attention towards Mark. Cinder removed his sunglasses and the look of his eyes meant that this was serious business.
"I wanted to see what "Smart Mark" had in mind for me. You certainly gave Cabal a great big kick through the door. And yet, I was eliminated by some unknown, who then goes on to elminate 6 others? You know damn well that I've busted my ass for this business. Over 10 years of blood sweat and tears and this is what I get? Now I've thought about going after Jack, but it seems he's a bit preoccupied right now. I also happen to notice that quite a few of the current active roster are nowhere to be found. If they're getting the same treatment I am, it's not a surprise, but I digress."
Cinder takes a moment and breathes, then asks another question.
"So what is "Smart Mark" willing to do for his employee, hmm? After all, I am contracted to work in this company. While others may go out and find their own fight, I've been down that path so many times, it's a desert. Now I'm not asking for a title match. Here's what you can do for me. You pick the opponent and the stipulation, anything that comes into that nugget of yours and I'll accept."

Don't tell me your hear because your upset that your brother is now the World Champion? You know how much the boss ladies and I discussed who to push into the main event picture. Raiyven, Sentoryu, Nightmare, Cabal. It is all what makes for exciting tv. Nate Michaels himself can sell a PPV just because of his name, his superman like appearance, and the fact that he puts on exciting matches. But look at the names. Raiyven is Nate's girlfriend, lots of tension and drama to be had there. Sentoryu is a six time world champion and always a threat everytime he steps foot in the ring. Nightmare plays mindgames like few before him, and your brother proved that sometimes you only get one shot; and he made the most of it.
Fact of the matter is Cinder we were going to push whoever came out of that Battle Royale.
Sad thing was I figured it would be you who was holding gold first. You got off to a better start then Cabal
Mark just shakes his head
But here's what we are going. You have two options. We can either find you a tag partner and push the team as threats to the Soldier's of Fortune championships, or we can repackage you. I'll let you decide.

"I only tag with people I trust, which is few and far between. Besides, since Cabal has decided to go his own way, I haven't been...motivated to do anything tag related. I don't have anything to lose by being repackaged. It might actually do me some good. Lord knows I've had issues trying to find my identity."
Cinder sighs as he starts opening up.
"Ever since I came into wrestling, I've never stuck to one identity. Sure, I've always been known for being a pyromaniac, violent bastard who didn't give two shits. But I haven't been that in a long time. For the last 2 years, I really don't know what I've been. I guess just angry at everything and everyone. I mean, sure me and my brother dominated the tag division last year and I was the mouth runner, but it also felt like I was just going through the motions."
Cinder stands up from the chair and walks over to the window. He removes his sun glasses and hangs them from his shirt. He looks out the window, observing the outside. He stayed silent for a couple of moments. Then, he turned his head towards Mark.
"Do you really think you have an idea for me that would fit? Or is this just a fly by the seat of my pants idea? If I'm going to be repackaged, I'd at least like to know how I should be handling it."

Mark opened his desk drawer and pulled out a massive binder and dropped it on the desk. He opened it revealing hundreds of pages of possible character concepts, and the art work to go with it.
Alright, let's see what we have here. How about the "Breaking News" character? You go around announcing to everyone that "I have some Breaking News!"
No?
Well how about "Hogswine?" A hillbilly type character; fit with coveralls and straw hate
Your silence there tells the story.
The 'Real American' we have planned for someone else
Ah here we go!
How about a rebel indy cage fighter?

"A rebel indy cage fighter. Hmmm...I've done cage work in the past and I do enjoy being a rebellious son of a bitch. Sounds like we got ourselves a winner."
Cinder placed his sunglasses back on and sat back down in the chair. Mark passes the concept to Cinder. Cinder takes it and reads it over. Cinder nods in approval then proceeds to ask one additional question.
"I want Jack. Not just for eliminating me but for his actions against Sentoryu. I want him, 1 on 1 in a steel cage. No escape, 3 count pin, submission or KO. I want to show the VW Universe that Jack McArthur is not the guy he portrays to be."

Mark picks up his phone and calls something Hey Sherry its Mark. I'm sending Cinder down for his new attire fitting. We are going with gimmick #94...yea its in the binder........yes hair too. Alright ill send him down in a moment. Thanks doll! [/b][/i] 'Smart' Mark then hangs up the phone I don't see how Jack beating Sentoryu has anything to do with you, but very well; ill book the two of you tonight inside the cage. Though we at Viral use old cage rules, escape only! (Game limitations)
But before you head out, let's just clarify this new gimmick. You will be shedding this 'biker' look. You will get a new attire that Sherry has waiting for you, and you will no longer be known as Cinder. From now on we will book and market you as a cage fighter using your real name "Michael Xavier". We've already quietly removed Xavier from your brother's name, so now we can focus on you!
