>>12430608The dim lighting and cheap plastic smell of the local bar were a far cry from the glitz and glamour of professional wrestling, but that's where you'd find Dave Meltzer, the legendary journalist for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He nursed a beer and furiously scribbled notes on a napkin, debating with himself about the merits of bringing back the WWE 24/7 title. Across the room, a massive figure lumbered through the crowd, his bare, meaty shoulders straining against the tight black T-shirt. It was Ryback, the enigmatic wrestler who had made a name for himself in the ring despite being unable to read a single word.
When Ryback spotted Dave at the bar, he made his way over, his giant frame towering over the journalist. "Dude, you gotta stop talking about that stupid title," he grunted, his voice as deep as a well. "It's a joke, man. It's not like it meant anything."
Dave looked up from his notes, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Well, now, Ryback, I think you're selling it short. The 24/7 title may have been gimmicky, but it brought a sense of chaos and unpredictability to the sport. It made for some of the most memorable moments in wrestling history."
Ryback scratched his head, clearly confused. "Dude, I don't even know what that means." He paused, then added, "But it sounds cool."
Dave laughed, shaking his head. "Alright, Ryback, you win this round. But just think about it. A world where anyone, at any time, could become champion. It'd be like an unscripted reality show within a scripted reality show. It'd be...it'd be...well, it'd be something."
The big man considered this for a moment, his brow furrowing as he tried to wrap his mind around the concept. Finally, he shrugged and raised his beer in a toast. "Guess it couldn't hurt, dude. But don't expect me to win it or anything." They clinked their bottles together and took hearty swigs, both lost in thought about the potential madness of bringing back the WWE 24/7 title.
