Thanks guys, I have wanted to do this for so long and I am glad I finally decided to do so. Hopefully it will keep you entertained and with that, back to the story

	It was truly an opulent setting in which we greeted our new future, a hotel which Mr. Arum indicated was in Atlantic City, though in peering from our window it was far from the New Jersey town of the same name I remembered. And it was not just the city, but the motor cars that shot through the streets at such break neck speeds and at such volume. They were an array of colors and sizes and I dared not show the fighters in fear of them cowering in fear of some dark ritual of which we are now a part. Within the room itself was a telephone, with numbers one could push, elegant lighting and large comfortable beds. But the strangest spectacle of all was some kind of magical box, which showed colorful, moving pictures of amazing grandeur. I found myself engrossed in a baseball game, which apart from the colorful uniforms and players of all colors participating together, was much like the games I watched at the Polo Grounds. This contraption, which Mr Arum called a TV had completely engrossed Mr. Langford and Mr. Jeanette, while the skitterish Sam McVey refused to gaze upon it, fearing that some spirits possessed it.
	Mr. King and Mr. Arum assured us that we had taken a journey to a time much different from ours, the year they gave was 1980, though none of us seemed to have aged a day and indeed the fighters looked as if they had recaptured the very essence of their days before the wars in the ring had disfigured their faces and torn at their bodies. We were assured that we would have teachers, who would help us understand this new time and that once we fully did a world of dreams awaited us. Mr. King informed us that we would be attending a "press conference" where we would be introduced to the this new world, though he cautioned us to look fit and confident, yet not to utter a singe word. That time he assured would come, but first we had to fully understand how much this world was different from the one we had just departed.
