Welcome to the Muscledrome
The Manager: Welcome to the Muscledrome
A large screen appears in the center of a dark room, on it, the masked head of a mysterious figure appears, he is The Manager
The Manager: You have been invited to participate in a contest like no other. You were chosen because you each represent a muscular body type that has been trained to perfection. The peak of physical performance and aesthetics. You will all have the chance to compete against one another, as well as to impress the Sponsors. It is up to you how far you progress, all we ask is that you rise to our challenges, lest you fall in our disappointment. Now enter the Muscledrome!
66: WOW! OH MY GOD! This is so cool. Am I the first person here? This room is so huge! Look at these swords.
Athlete 66 was the first to enter the drome, a young athlete in his 20’s, he couldn’t believe he was invited to be on a reality television show, much less one on this scope and size.
83: Damn they really spent a lot of money on this!
Athlete 83 entered the drome looking around at all the swords. He was a calm cool guy normally but even he had to admit this was impressive. Seeing 66 he immediately went over to him to shake his hand, remembering the number one rule of the producers not to say your name and simply refer to each other by the number on their jackets. It would be a hard order though because most of these men had competed against each other at various levels throughout the years.
66: Man you were 3rd runner up at the Arnold last year! Dude what the fuck are you doing here?
83: Yeah I got this random invite, said I could win some money, so I said fuck it let me check it out
Three more athletes were sent into the drome 26, 74 and 91, all with the same look of bewilderment etched on their faces. They walked up to 66 and 83 and started introducing themselves.
91: What do you think we have to do?
66: Maybe see who can pull the sword out of the stone:
74: Hey did you see each sword has a number on it?
They all gathered around and realized each sword was assigned to an athlete
26: I guess we should find our swords
They all dispersed looking for their individual swords as more and more athletes started to file in. It was becoming abundantly clear that this was the who’s who in bodybuilding, fitness and sports.
96: Yo 45 look who just entered!
Athlete number 2 had just made his entrance into the drome and was garnering a lot of attention.
45: Is that Mr Olympia?
96: Yeah man that’s the 3 time reigning Mr Olympia that mutherfucking just walked in the room!
45: This competition is going to be crazy! Mr Olympia just walked and number 72 is a 2 time olympic wrestling champ
The room was a buzz with excitement when the final three athletes walked in. 5, 50 and 99. Everyone looked in their direction and instantly recognized them. A thunderous applause echoed through the drome as all the athletes showed some respect to these legends.
39: This is epic
93: Am I the only person who doesn’t know who these guys are?
39: You definitely are! 5 was a great weightlifter a beast! 50 was one of the top bodybuilders of his generation! Won a bunch of competitions in Asia back in the day and 99 is one of the best classic physique posers of all time. He pretty much coaches half the guys in here
The Manager: Welcome to the Muscledrome you are each standing behind your own sword. In this game, your sword represents your life. When your sword is broken you will be eliminated from the game. The biggest prize in fitness is the Mr Olympia. At $400,000 it is one of the most coveted titles in world but here at the Muscledrome we are going to to up the stakes and award the winner $4,000,000!
The men started to cheer when they heard the prize money it was more than they had ever expected from this experience.
The Manager: Now in addition to the $4 million you will have the opportunity to earn even more money. Each of you just by walking into the Muscledrome have each banked $20,000.
The men all looked around high fiving each other and shouting their excitement at the prizes.
The Manage: Also there are wealthy Sponsors around the world who have signed up to patronize you if your performance excites them.
The large screen in the center of the room illuminated showing all 100 athletes with some letters and numbers connected to their pictures
For the sponsors, the attribute explanation card flashed across their screens unbeknownst to the athletes.
The Manager: This athlete card has been sent to all Sponsors. It details various attributes of each athlete that they may find interesting. Just by your attributes, Sponsors have already donated to your coffers which we will reveal at the beginning of the first Competition.
58: Look at me Sponsors I’m your guy!
The men all started shouted for attention from the sponsors.
The Manager: But there are rules…
The athletes all started to boo and groan.
31: here comes the catch.
The Manager: You are free to Quit at any time in the game but if you do quit you will leave with absolutely nothing.
54: Ain’t no quitters here!
54’s comment rallied the men and they all shouted and barked in agreement.
The Manager: I am happy you’re excited. If you stay in the Muscledrom you must do everything we ask if you refuse you will automatically be considered quitting and will leave with nothing!
Hushed silence befell the room.
The Manager: If you compete in an exercise and you are eliminated from the Muscledrome you will leave with half of your your earnings. Your winning’s in the Muscledrome depend not only on what you’re capable of doing but what you are willing to do. Welcome to the Muscledrome!
All 100 men erupted at the thought of winning so much money. They were competitive by nature and had started to size up the competition. It was just the beginning but hopes of winning four million dollars, possibly more, was just enough incentive to kick start their primal ambition to be number one.
The Manager. Now it’s time! Disrobe! All Muscledrome events will take place in the nude. If you are uncomfortable with this, you have 30 minutes to decide whether you will quit and forfeit your money or if you will stay in the Muscledrome to compete. The choice is yours.
Silence came over the Drome as the athletes just started to realize what exactly would be expected of them. Excitement turned to nerves and nerves to confusion. This was a lot of money but was it asking too much of them? The ball was in their court, no one was forcing them to do it so they had a choice. Some wrestled with the thought of was it a case of dignity or a case of ambition. Some secretly wrestled with the fact that as fitness athletes, they subconsciously got excited by the exhibitionistic elements of their professions but still, getting naked for folks all around the world to see? For sponsors to patronize them? What were they going to do?
Tune in next week for episode 2 of Muscldrome!
