OOC: Hey all. This is a series I wrote a little bit ago. It is an interesting read I've been told. Therefore, I shall post it here.![]() Gather around and take a seat. Open up your ears, and be attentive—because I’ve got a question to ask you. When you think of greatness, what name come to mind? Gates? Buffet? Rockefeller? Those are all good choices; and if this were some kind of civics, economics, and social studies class, then you’d likely be correct. However, there’s one name that stands above them all—LeCavalier. Now the first question that may come to your minds is, “who are the LeCavaliers? I’ve never heard of them before.” Well, that is why I told you to open up your ears and be attentive, for you are about to get a crash course on the family that has fundamentally shaped and molded North America and Europe since nearly the beginning of time. Let’s commence. The earliest existence of our people can be dated back to 1750, in Normandy. We were not royalty, as we never held the crown—however, we were one of Normandy’s influential houses of nobility. We were forward-thinking aristocrats. Securing wealth was a primary goal, but so was channeling our wealth to construct and enhance the culture around us… How ambitious, right? Fast forward to the Great Migration, my ancestors brought that same ambition, influence, and wealth over to North America. That was back in the 1700s and 1800s. And ever since then, we have thrived in every area and facet that we’ve laid our hands upon. Therefore, it is abundantly clear that the name LeCavalier is synonymous with success. Nevertheless, our family is also known for its primary profession—professional wrestling. Each successive generation of our family has generated a crop of talent. These young LeCavaliers train tireless day and night until they are capable and competent to perform in the ring. They then migrate to the U.S., to Europe, to Mexico, throughout parts of Canada, all with the same goals—to dominant, and to make sure the wrestling world remembers our name. In short, we are an everlasting dynasty... You are probably wondering how is such a dynasty built? Or, perhaps you’re pondering what makes us LeCavaliers different than all the other numerous families out there? The answer is pretty simple. There are three cornerstone characteristics that what distinguish us from all the others— Tradition, Hierarchy, and Legacy. . . . Tradition [noun] a. The transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way. b. A long-established custom or belief that has been passed on in this way. The difference between professional wrestling and other sports is the fact that wrestling is always changing, always progressing at a rapid rate. In my day, it was really unheard of to come off the top rope. Compare that to today’s wrestlers. A top rope shooting-star is an everyday move to some. Wrestling’s dynamic nature is what makes being a wrestler painstakingly difficult. Everyone and their mother believes that they have what it takes. And when they actually jump into the ring, they all do the same bullshit: reckless flips, mindless striking, etc. All of that takes away from the sport. Furthermore, all of that takes away from the wrestlers who are truly special. Tradition, that’s what separates us LeCavaliers from all the others. Yes, we change and evolve with the business; that’s just common sense. However, stability fosters efficiency. And the following principles have lead to a consistent crop of spectacular wrestlers: 1. Show respect and reverence to the ring. 2. Do not fear the ring or its confines. 3. Study and train in the sport at an early age. 3. Learn and master the fundamentals. 4. Know your limits, and learn to exceed them. 5. Every son shall wrestle at least one match in his life. 6. Every generation shall have three to four members who carry on the mantel. 7. Remember your name and why you wrestle. These principles are taught and instilled in every LeCavalier, whether they wrestle or not. They are vital links to our past. Knowing and understanding said links help us to shape our future. Hierarchy [noun] a. A system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority. b. The upper echelons of a hierarchical system; those in authority. c. An arrangement or classification of things according to relative importance or inclusiveness. Honor and respect should be given to those who have come before you. That lesson is easy and plain to learn. However, it’s often ignored by this current generational society, or it wasn’t taught to them in the first place. Nevertheless, Tradition and Hierarchy often go hand-in-hand, for better or for worse. In our case, it’s for the better. Wrestlers in our family follow a hierarchy system. Each LeCavalier happens to fall into one of the following categories. Unproven Lion: These are younger members who are unproven, as the title indicates. This would encompass those who have never wrestled, those are still training, and those who have just begun wrestling professionally. In the past, unproven lions had to work under a pseudonym, an alternate spelling, as opposed to the actual LeCavalier name; that practice has been done away with. Due to their rookie nature and status, these members garner the least amount of respect. Tested Lion: This category is reserved for LeCavaliers who have had three to four years experience in the sport. They are not rookies, not by a long shot; however, they haven’t mastered the sport, or its finer points. You could say that they are intermediate. They garner more respect than unproven lions, and their opinions are taken more into account. Sage: At minimum, a LeCavalier must have at least five years of in ring experience to even be considered a sage; one must also be at least twenty-five years of age. This category is reserved for wrestlers who have shown prowess and mastery in the ring and sport. Being labeled as a sage normally means that you’ve earned the favor and respect of the family’s elders; therefore, a Sage’s thoughts and opinions are taken into great consideration. Sage’s may offer advice and guidance to the Lions. Currently, there are two sages who still actively compete: Misha LeCavalier and Ryan LeCavalier. Elder: These are the oldest members of our family, our forefathers. They’ve reached the status of elder because of their age, and because of their knowledge and longevity. They hold power and wisdom in their palms, and should be consulted with in times of trouble. LeCavalier elders shoulder garner the highest amount of respect. Legacy [noun] a. An amount of money or property left to someone in a will. b. A thing handed down by a predecessor. Half a century of dominance. Fifty years of intensity. Five decades of glory. That’s how long the LeCavaliers have graced the world of wrestling with our wonderful presence. And my, what a fifty years it has been. I myself made my name in Canada. By the time I’d retired from active competition, there wasn’t a wrestling fan in all of the provinces that didn’t know my name. My brother Martin traveled south of the border to Mexico and Puerto Rico to make a name for himself. And, my brother Ethan blazed through Europe and Germany. If you compared the three of us to conquerors, then we nearly vanquished the entire wrestling world… Currently, our offspring have taken over our roles. My daughter Ryan has been wrestling independently in Canada, the United States, and Japan for over a decade. She is a former world champion. My niece, Misha, has wrestled for just under a decade herself. She is a former champion in her own right, and is one of the best technical wrestlers on this planet. Even though those two have nearly two decades of in ring experience, neither has reached their true potential. Their prime wrestling years are still just beyond the horizon—I’d be fearful if I were out there facing them. They hungry; they are relentless. And whenever those two decide to hang up their boots, settle down, and have children, the cycle will repeat itself. Their sons and daughter will learn our traditions, they will understand our Hierarchy, and they will continue to honor our Legacy. Three essential pillars... —Norman LeCavalier Edited by Misha LeCavalier, Dec 6 2017, 09:44 AM.
