Legacy=Absolution

[Avenger]

The PPV starts as the pyro lifts and the crowd gets "jacked". Cameras are everywhere. The Avenger comes out and walks to the ring with a mission. He enters the ring and grabs a mic.

Now the Avenger isn't out here to talk about past things but since that seems how things need to go to look ahead then so be it. First of all, let the Avenger first say to Miles Divine that the Avenger told ya not to open that mouth or the Avenger would bring upon the pain. You can complain about "juices" all you want little man but you were just a key for the Avenger to let loose his frustrations and to get him back on track. The Avenger is a main eventer and for one night you got to be in the ring with me and like so many you found out what happens when the words can't account for your wrestling ability. Now with that said the Avenger is out here for the PPV.

The fans errupt as the Avenger looks upon them to gain more of a "pop."

Now tonight it seems that the Avenger and Brandon Payne will go mano vs mano tonight for a second time. But this time it is for a chance for something bigger and something we both feel that it should be ours. So Payne the Avenger isn't going to come out here and through blinding words or rhymes about what he is going to do. All that really needs to be said is that the Avenger told you that there would come a time where we would meet once again. No need into turning into Julius Ceasar just yet. Tonight we will go one on one to see who leaves not only with the victory but perhaps wearing the title that everyone wants to wear.

The tournament of tournaments they say. A chance to be the man. Something we both believe we are and something we both want. Legacy tonight will be Absolution. The Avenger took care of some light weight last week and knows tonight it will be war. So it is time for the war paint to come on. The Avenger will see you tonight on the battle grounds.

Blah.....Blah.....BLAH !

Those words are heard coming from the backstage area as we now see Brandon "Genesis" Payne walk on stage with a microphone in hand. The crowd immeadiatly erupt into a chorus of boo's for Brandon Payne. The K.O.C just shrugs it off as usual and addresses the Avenger:

Here we are... yet again Avenger. Never did I actually think we would face off ever again. After I KICKED your ass all over the arena at Exodus. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to face you here tonight. Cause quiet frankly, your old news. I've already proved to both myself and these morons out here that I can beat you.

Crowd starts to boo again.

Truth hurts doesn't folks !?

Now Sebastian. I watched you destroy Miles Divine last week on LockUp. I must say, even I was impressed by that. Seems as if I lit a fire under you after Exodus. If I did, well, good for you then. Just keep in mind. That 'fire' will become extinguished soon enough. I've beaten you once, and I can damn sure do it all over again.

You know, I gotta ask you this one question Sebastian. After I lived in your shadow for the past 2-3 years. How is it like to live in MY SHADOW !?!? Hmmmm ?

I mean, way I see it. The roles have been reversed here in GCW. From what I can tell. Only the best of the best make it and survive in GCW. Nobody is handed anything on a silver platter. There's no politics, no bullshit to deal with, no clique's or pecking order's to hold guys back. This is my type of company to wrestle for. You bust your ass off here, and you get rewarded. Thats what I love the most about this company.

How does that all matter to you Sebastian ? Well, it may not matter a whole lot. But just to tell you a short story. In my days in Atlanta. The top two guys in that company throughout most of that organizations tenure was me and you ! Aside from the companies owner, who used his own promotion as a vehicle to reboot his already tarnished career. Me and you Avenger, tore the house down week after week. Because of your 'Franchise' status there. You always remained one step ahead of me and took advantage of your political power !

Then, the company folded. From that point on. I was bounced around between a couple of other wrestling federations. With one company in particular telling me that my career was quote unquote "dead & buried" !

From that day. I took a nearly 6-month sebaticle from professional wrestling. Pondering my own destiny. I even considered retirement. Imagine that ? A 22 year old guy like myself considering early retirement. The very man, who came in on February 26, 2006. Made his debut and said 'F.U' to authority was actually considering calling it quits !

These remarks receive a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Then, I get a letter saying to come to Chicago. There's something big thats going to go down. An opportunity that your not gonna wanna miss ! So, me and my girlfriend get on a train and come here. Much to my surprise. Several weeks later. The 'opportunity' that the letter spoke was about Global Championship Wrestling !

It was now....or NEVER ! Either I signed a contract with GCW and would make one last attempt to make it back on top. Or.... I would have to prematurely take my ball and go home.

So Sebastian... how does my story relate to our match ? Or this tournament ? Its this my friend. If there is anybody out of the eight men competiting that deserves to be the Contiental Champion. For all the work I put into this sport. For all the crap that I had to put up with since day one. If anybody deserves to win that championship belt... its gonna be MEEEEE !

Yet, another mixed reaction is received by the fans. You can just feel the emotion pouring out Genesis tonight. By the tone of his voice. He's really wanting to get his hands on the belt and would quite possibly do almost anything to grab it.

And if you, or any of those others guy have a problem with that. Then by all means. Step forward and try to tell me otherwise !

BP lowers the mic. Seemingly, after all of that. The only thing that would was going to get in between Genesis and the Contiental Championship was death itself. He is seemingly pumped up, anxious, and ready to go tonight.

o2 Avenger or any of the Contiental Tourney Participants.

[Avenger]

The Avenger stares down Brandon Payne and slowly lifts the mic back.

Well that was one hell of a speech. The crowd was in tears over the emotion you just spilled out and frankly the Avenger may have to get a transcript of that. Can you say next movie star in the making? Now with that said let me be the first to say what a story you just spoke of. The Avenger can reminise with you if you like. Yeah we did tear down Atlanta but just like it was back then is how it will be tonight and that is you just a few moves behind the Master. Now we all know the history of you and me the last 2 plus years as you just said. But you see you won the last match and the Avenger can say it was a match to kick off the GCW and Exodus. The promoters gave us credit as the buyrates show we are main eventers.

Now that brings us to a little dilemna though? And that is that someone will go on and someone will watch with the boys in the back. Either you beat the Avenger to get that title you so dearly love or you go back to how things were in Atlanta and that is watching the Avenger be the man. Now the Avenger knows that is a tough thing to swallow but you know as well as these people that tonight the Avenger is going to walk out not just beating you but walk out as Continental Champion. And nothing will be greater to see that lovely ring girl slap that big gold belt around the waist of the greatest persona and wrestler ever to come on the map.

The fans errupt as it is a classic confrontation as the Avenger motions his hands in a east to west motion that he is going to be crowned champion.

Now the pity of it all is that the two biggest names and best wrestlers have to have their showdown in the first round. But look at it this way and that is if you beat the Avenger you can say you beat me twice in a row and perhaps wear that title. But we know that is a dream and reality is that tonight the Avenger walks out as Champion. And the Avenger knows he won't beat you down like he did that light weight in Miles. But the bottom line is that you stand before the Avenger in keeping him in being the Continental Champion. And we all know that can't happen. So it is frankly the fact that the Avenger will have to defeat you the way that made the Avenger famous and walk out as Continental Champion.

Now as far as your little rant about our past and the Atlanta deal then lets just say that yeah that was the Avenger's stomping ground. But just as the Avenger left that place things went downhill and fast. But you see when GCW offered me the contract then the Avenger obliged. The Avenger took some time off from wrestling just like you did and almost retired. The Avenger already did everything and more that he ever thought he could do but you see when GCW comes calling then you either are a player or not. And the Avenger has always been a player and always will be. So tonight you bring Stacie down with you or you give her all the kisses and love you want because tonight you are mine and believe the Avenger when he says he forgets nothing. Just like our last match and you disrespecting the Avenger when you beat me. Just know that tonight the shoe won't be on the other foot but square up your a@@.

The crowd errupts again and the Avenger points at Brandon and then looks up at the lights. And then his attention goes back to Brandon Payne.

Now Payne our war is not over. You may of thought you were done with the Avenger but tonight GCW has done the Avenger a favor and put us in the match first. Maybe in the best interest for us to be in the final but what other way would be great but to show the world that the Avenger is not in your dream world or shadow as you say but you pal are not the man you say you are. The Avenger plans on showing you that tonight. Get ready BP because after tonight all of those retirement questions you were asking you may just ponder again am I good enough to be in the same ring as the Avenger. Tonight will show us both and the world who the man is and who isn't.

[Lionheart]

Blah, blah, blah, 'The' Avenger, blah, blah, 'King of Controversy', blah blah!

Vengence stands on the stage, looking at both The Avenger and Genesis.

You know... ever since I left Memphis and arrived in Chicargo, those of you who know me, all have one question that you keep asking Vengence.

'What's got into you, Vengence?'
You've changed. You used me, you used to be such a nice guy! Well you know what? I'm as nice as I ever was.

It's you people right here that have corrupted the world of wrestling, the world of heros and villans. And there's absolutely nobody that you can trust of rely on in this wrestling world anymore. And that's why I came here to Chi Town to find the one man I can rely on and trust, Brandon Payne. I don't respect anyone more than I respect Brandon Payne... haha!

But you see I'm caught in this horrible dilema, because I have a guy that's kinda like a brother to me. My good buddy The Avenger. And Avenger, you and me think alike, we act alike, hell we almost look alike!

So I'm stuck on one hand between a guy that believes in one thing.. and on the other hand a guy that's kinda made a lot of mistakes as far as we go in the past, but I still respect him.

And the problem with The Avenger is all of you people! Instead of looking to atone for his past, he should be embracing it, and taking his own personal Vengeance out on each and every guy on GCW's roster! So Avenger, both you and I are on LockUp, how do you feel about taking a walk on the wild side?

[brandonpayne]

Brandon scratches his head, not knowing what to think of this situation. He really has no idea who this 'Vengence' guy is. But, goes ahead & responds to this troubled soul.

Before I get to you Sebastian. Lemme ask you this Vengence:

ARE YOU OFF YOUR FUCKIN' MEDS !?!?

[/size]

Some members of the crowd begin to chuckle as BP carries on:

Just who in the hell are you ? How do you know about my past... and even Avenger's ? You best tell me now ! Its very apparent to me that your just some 'whack job' off the streets of Chi-Town.

If you don't tell me who you are and what your business with myself or Sebastian are. You don't have to worry about Sebastian over at LockUp. You'll have to worry more about me kicking your teeth down your throat here tonight ![/center]
