While never seen on camera, the young and one of the many newest members of the RISE roster Omari Johnson was present for RISE pay-per-view event Hollow Pursuits 2. Accompanied by his agent D'Angelo Hall, the two enjoyed the luxury of the arena's skybox as show took place in front of a sold out crowd. Hollow Pursuits 2 was not about the new batch of young talent to join the roster, it was about the current RISE wrestlers who worked their behinds off for two months and more. It was about a 30 Minute Iron Man Match for the RISE Championship, and the Mac Leonard Tag Team Tournament Finals for the coveted RISE Tag Team Championship the Daughters of Janus had their iron grip on. This event was for the championship where the loser must leave RISE and the winner walks away as the reigning RISE Great Lake Champion. It was a night for the die hard fans of RISE. Now notably missing from the skybox was D'Angelo's client Washington III, the Atlanta born could not attend, due to previous commitments in Cairo, Egypt.


The lyrics, and music from "Bang Bang" by Cher continues to play throughout the sold out Carnesecca Arena. The deafening cheers continues to emanate from the sold out Queens crowd. Boaz Kennedy continues to celebrate inside the square circle with his newly won RISE Great Lakes Championship. Inside the Carnesecca skybox relaxing on a couch, munching on carrots and celery sticks with cheese is ERA Brand agent D'Angelo Hall (sporting a blue long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black pants and black leather shoes). His client Omari Johnson (wearing a white v-neck Hanes under-shirt, factory torn faded blue Levi's jeans and black & white Nike Air Max) is seen standing from his seat applauding, clapping his hands slowly together as he stares down towards the ring side. The New Yorker looks back at his agent who looks up at Omari and smiles.

D'Angelo Hall
Yo these are great man, you should try one.


Omari Johnson
Naaaahhhh!!! I'm cool man.


D'Angelo Hall
Suit yourself!


Omari Johnson
So Angelo, what you think about the match?


D'Angelo Hall
You seem impressed. .....You know what?


Hall gets up from his comfortable seat and steps up to his client.

D'Angelo Hall
Tell me this, what are you doing right now?


A questionable look appears on the face of Omari who looks right at D'Angelo Hall.

Omari Johnson
I guess..... I am looking at a match.


D'Angelo Hall
You are on the outside looking in. You've been on the outside looking in since your kid days, idolizing your favorite superstar. Cheering them on! However while you are here looking in, it's different. You see the question of if and when that you are going to be like that guy in that ring, is already answered. You are RISE talent thanks to ERA Brand's great skills of negotiation and I am the man responsible on taking you straight to the top. Next time it will be your theme song playing, while you are celebrating a big win and some kid on the outside will be looking in.


With a smirk on his face Omari sighs.

Omari Johnson
Okay?!


D'Angelo Hall
This is not about me, it's about you. So what do you think about all that?


Omari smiles and nods and looks back at the new champion now outside of the square circle celebrating.

Omari Johnson
I think it was a pretty damn good match.


D'Angelo Hall
You think it was a pretty damn good match. Good! Now get this, whatever you saw that you thought was good, you can and will do better. You are Omari Johnson, ERA Brand's client, my client, and that means you are expected to be better than whoever step between those ropes and stares at you. That title that guy is celebrating with, if you want it, then it's yours. All you have to do man is take it. The RISE Championship, that is about to be defended in a 30 Minute Ironman Match, if you want it, all you have to do is.....


Omari Johnson
Is take it!!!


D'Angelo looks at Omari, who stares right back at him.

D'Angelo Hall
You are a fast learner.


Omari Johnson
That I am, but being little over confident isn't that like every rookie mistake. I mean every guy and gal who shows up here believe they have that chip on their shoulder, thinking they are better than every one, believing they are the best when they never even accomplish anything. I want to be different, I want.....


Johnson is interrupted by Hall.

D'Angelo Hall
Yo let me cut you off right there man. You're right! You are absolutely right. But you see not everybody is Omari Johnson, not everyone is you man. Look I've been called arrogant, over confident and maybe that is exactly what I was when I showed up twenty-one years old at my father's company. Guess which road my over confidence and arrogance led me?


Omari shrugs his shoulders.

D'Angelo Hall
Here! I'm standing right here with my client.....


D'Angelo places his hand on the shoulder of Omari.

D'Angelo Hall
A man I expect to exceed all expectations.


Omari Johnson
Well lucky for you, I'm not the type to disappoint.


The two fist bump their knuckles, before taking their seat as they continue to enjoy the rest of RISE pay-per-view event Hollow Pursuits 2.

Omari Johnson
So, you're done with the lecture?


The two guys laugh as the carry their focus on the remaining of the show.
