It’s the 1990’s and Logan’s just trying to get by, battling his severe alcoholism and thirst to rid of his anger. Fighting in the ring and smoking his cigars, until his lighter runs out and someone allows him to use a better one.

The year is... somewhere... in the 90’s. Well, maybe late 90’s. Logan wasn’t too sure anymore. The days seemed to blend together through the alcohol and the time he wastes sitting in an underground wrestling ring, letting guys think they’re toying or winning over him before laying them down like putting babies to sleep. It was easy money considering the... advantages he had. Sure, it definitely was cheating in a sense, but what people don’t know won’t kill them.

Otherwise if he’s not in the ring or at the bar, he’s living out of his motor home like the single, almost middle aged man he is. Even then he’s suckling alcohol, puffing on cigars, and just watching some television when he had the time or energy.

He kept his life on the low side, besides his underground name ”The Wolverine”. He was only a celebrity in some sense.

He used to feel the thrill at the beginning. Kicking ass and taking his name, but it -again- was just now a mush of time replaying itself on different days with a few different people in between. Between not knowing who he really was before a few years ago, he’s altogether a drunk sad bastard.

He wouldn’t even say it was a lovely day since he honestly doesn’t know the last moment he’s seen the sun and been in it. Another fight while running on a microwaved burrito and three bottles of booze. He was trying to light a cigar while the guy he was fighting got up from the soft round Logan plowed into him. He was unsuccessful as the guy managed to stand and have the audacity to try and go at it again with Logan whom dropped his cigar upon being jerked.

Angrily he turned around, kind of growled, then landed a coma-inducing blow to this guy’s face, knocking him cold. Logan then retrieved his dropped cigar as the referee announced him the winner -once more- and he was finally able to light the damn thing, looking out at the crowd, separated by a tall chain-link wall. Caged like the animal he really is.

After the match, his legs carry him to the bar near by. He orders a beer and sits on one of the stools. There’s a TV playing somewhere in the background of some news station ranting about political standpoints and whatever media wants to get their nose in.

Another patron sits a few stools over from Logan. He doesn’t pay too much attention him except for the fact he too orders a beer and goes silent after that.

Upon finishing his cigar, Logan immediately craves another. He gets one and finds his lighter to try and light it. Of course, his luck, he’s struggling to get the flame to stick. He grunts angrily, frustratingly flicking the dead lighter a few more times before one slides across the bar, stopping perfectly in front of him.

His eyebrow raises and he looks over to where it came from. It was the other bar patron Logan had paid no mind to. A cigarette perched between his lips and his eyes on Logan for a moment before flicking to the lighter, telling Logan to use it.

He picks it up and flicks it to life. The flame is strong and he’s able to light his cigar. He takes a deep puff, pulling it from his mouth and sliding the lighter back over with his free hand. “Thanks.”
