*Sigh,* Such Abuses of Power... (Challenge)

[andy]

The scene? It's Miami, Florida. Andrew Rose is in the sun, no winter, and has a very beautiful and young girlfriend...

Just... why, exactly isn't he happy and living it up?

Two reasons. One? He's basically become a punching bag. Completely defeated, basically buying himself losses with triple threats, and being thrown entirely to the wolves... well, wolf. A big one.

Two? He doesn't know what's going on with the girlfriend... things seem to be waaaaaaay to distant... and it's almost as if he's going to lose her without even getting a chance to really fuck up. She's been gone, a family emergency. That's all that he knows. So... basically, two things eating at him... and Miami seems like just the place to vent some frustrations. It looks good on paper... as he is now in the ring following his entrance, with a microphone on hand.

"Cut my music.

Here's the deal. Do I look, not-pissed? No? I didn't think so. Here's what is going on, and all of you can't be so fucking blind to not see it. And that is... the complete, and utter BULLSHIT that goes on backstage around this company. Are we, seriously... catering to these all-accomplished, big names that come into this freaking federation? What about guys like me... what about girls like my girlfriend, Kelly Monarch? Hell, need an example?"

He motions to the video tron... there's not only footage of himself getting destroyed by Radimir Romanov.... but also, of Miles Divine.

"An uncontracted, non-wrestler... basically, this monster that was probably saved from jail or something by that woman that WAS my General Manager, decided to throw me up against at the Joint House show last week. Oh, and that she saw fit to put in the ring against another wrestler who basically, told it like it is.

Is that what this place is coming to? Some kind of dictatorship, where those that aren't too corporate of curtain-jerkers to actually say something and tell you that you're fucking up, basically get sacrificed to someone who's not even on the official roster?

Here's the deal. I'm the son of a Hotel Mogul. I KNOW we have the top of the line when it comes to lawyers... and I KNOW there's something in that mess that SCREAMS easy win in court, if you catch my drift. Such a blatant abuse of power... and she only gets rid of me after I do more work than her big stars, MORE WORK THAN THE MAN SHE SENT TO FIGHT FOR THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!"

The microphone is lowered, his shoulders heaving from the heavy breaths. This, is what pissed him off the most, it seemed.

"So, right... I'm now in the minor leagues. Thanks a freaking lot. Here? If MayheM looked dismal in my eyes, this place is just friggin' depressing... all I'm going to end up running into is long-winded bastards that say so little with more words than absolutely necessary... it'll be like promoing against a broken record, I can tell it now.

But, hey, I'm here, and guess what? I'm in need of a match, in need of something to vent my frustrations.

This is where somebody in the back gets off of their lazy ASS and gets out here to shut ME up...

I'm waiting..."

[brandonpayne]

Suddenly a voice is heard from out of nowhere !

Hey Jackass !

We see Genesis making his way down through the crowd with a microphone in hand. The crowd gives him a neutral action as he makes his way to the saftey rail and hops over it. From there, he enters the ring with Mr. Rose. He walks up to him and now stands just a mere 3 feet away from him. Gen. then raises the mic back up to his lips and carries on:

I can't help but evesdrop just a little bit backstage. I hear you out here whining and crying about us 'big names' running the show and getting away with things. I honestly can't help but laugh at that claim. Cause that my friend, IS complete bullshit ! But hey ! Thats your opinion, and I respect that.

But see, coming out here in front of these people and crying about it. Why don't you be a man and step up to the plate. Put all of that bitching and moaning to the side. Step into this ring later on tonight... and FACE ME !

The crowd erupts for a brief moment as Genesis continues speaking.

So Mr. Rose, put your money where your mouth is. Come out here and fight with one of the 'big names' as you like to refer to us. Lets see if you have what it takes to make it to the big leagues.

You've got alot of heart, and guts coming out here and making such a challenge. Fact is, 'Andy', I like ya..... not a WHOLE LOT.... but I like ya ;D.

Crowd starts to chuckle a little bit.

Quite frankly dude. I could really give a flying fuck if your the son of a hotel mogul. What does THAT have to do with wrestling ? Exactly my friend. NOTHING !

Your damn daddy, your girlfriend, or your little lawyers aren't going to get you at the top of the mountain here at GCW. YOU are going to have to get yourself there.

Me on the other hand. I help MAKE stars out of my opponents. I can give you a short run down of a few men that I've helped make into main eventers shall we ?

I took a young kid like Scott "Maniac" Manor in Atlanta. He was already on the rise back then. We locked horns for 5 months straight ! We gave it everything we had. He elevated my game to a whole new level. I elevated his. Now he is a worldwide phenomenon ! Everytime I see him in a big, high-profile match up. I can't help but think that I played at least a small part in getting him to that level of success he's enjoying today.

Shia Storm, our very own LockUP Champion ! We've only butted heads twice in our careers. And those two times we did. I helped get him to the next level on both occassions. Cause after facing me, ironically, he won a world championship !

And lastly... Sebastian Crowe... whom you guys know him more as 'The Avenger' !

Crowd starts to erupt again. Cheering for the Avenger.

Now... don't get me wrong. I hate that guy ! BUUUUUT ! That doesn't mean, I don't respect him for what he has done. He was already a big name in Atlanta when I had started my own career. As the months went by. we locked horns and fought tooth and nail. Week in and Week out. Friends one week, Enemies the next ! That continued on here to GCW. As he now sits on his throne as Contiental Champion. Avenger only needs to thank one man for getting him in the spot that he's in right now.. and THATS ME !

How is he going to thank me ? Giving me a title shot at the PPV. Fact is, I realize there are alot of other hungry guys in the back whom want a title shot. Way I see it, they all can take a number and get in line behind me.

Once I win the Contiental Championship. I plan on being a fighting champion. Defending it against all comers. Hell kid, I could even be defending the belt against YOU someday.

But, in order for that to happen Andrew. You have to step up your game a little.

So, bottom line. I accept your challenge for tonight's show. But, in return. I'm going to give YOU a challenge, right here, right now !

I'm going to step back a little bit, and let you have the floor. I challenge you to dig down deep inside. Release all of that anger and frustration you have built up inside. Anything you have. I want you to dish it all out on ME !

Thats right.. you heard me. Gimme everything you have on that microphone. Make it a matter of life and death if you want. When you fight a guy like me... you must come prepared and be on your toes.

With that said, Genesis steps back and walks over to the nearest turnbuckle. Awaiting a response from Andrew.

[andy]

"Dish it out on you. Cute...

Here's the deal. Do I have much to say about Genesis? Considering that you know, you basically hear more from me then some of the "Big Names" slated to fight for championships *cough* Bryan Colombain... nice match against him, by the way... but back on topic... I DO have my things to say about those worthless examples rookies like myself are to call "Veterans." You? You put in more effort than some of them, yes...

But you're also dwelling on your past.

Care to tell me what any of that has in relevance to GCW? It's all fine and good if you've elevated someone in say... Atlanta... I'm sure back in Atlanta, that'd get you a cookie and a pat on the ass, right? Instead of, you know, someone like me, brought in by GCW, the absolute future of GCW, that could rightfully be pushed over someone who wants to have stories of every single federation on the planet and his presence in them and hope that someone doesn't blow that candle out when you try to hold it up to the wind of relevance. I'm sure that you're going to tell me that all of that, not meaning jack shit here, is bullshit, too, right?

So, now that I have your attention, consider your answer to my challenge, accepted. Since, you obviously missed the part of me walking to the gallows in the first place against a huge monster, or taking it to, and bloodying, a former World Champion in my first match while making a big retard look like just that... or not turning down a single match that was given my way...

It looks like I'm going to continue that streak here at LockUP!, bitch. Genesis, the old has been from every other federation on the block, verses Andrew Rose, the absolute future of Global Championship Wrestling, and the one rightful of the place handed to "your kind."

[brandonpayne]

Was that it ? is that the best you can do ??

Gosh... your pathetic dude !

Rambling on and on about rookie's and busting up a former world champ. Lemme ask you this, did that accomplishment get you anywhere ? Exactly my friend, it didn't.

Actually, your jump from Mayhem to LockUP was the only big thing that has happened in your GCW career thus far. You run your mouth about me 'dwelling' on my past. Fact is, I wasn't. I was merely showing you an example of what happens when young, up and coming wrestlers like yourself face me in the ring. They become future main eventers almost instantly.

Talk about all of that 'Absolute Future' nonsense. Kid, if I had a nickel for every rookie who's stepped foot in this ring that has said something to that nature. I'd be even richer then I am today. If you truly wanna be the future of this business ? Don't talk it, WALK IT !

One more thing while I'm at it. What does all of that 'walking through the gallows' garbage have anything to do, or have any kind of 'relevance' as you would say, to me kicking your ass tonight !?

I came out here, to accept your challenge. Offer a few words of advice. In a way, tried to be a nice guy. And thats the kind of response I get ?

I understand that your still a little wet behind the ears in this business. But the one thing you never want to do is piss me off ! When you do that, you bring out the dark side of Genesis that none shall ever want to see. Thats the side that has given my three years of glory in this sport !

Genesis then takes a look around the arena and notices a banner for GCW Mind Games... what catches his eye is the date itself, February 24, 2008.

Well... whaddya know ! My three year anniversary is on the same date as Mind Games. How fitting that is. For me to walk into the Pay-Per-View. Snatching the Contiental Championship away from Avenger on a day that is considered by myself and many to be the 'birth' of Genesis !

Gen. turns his attention back over to Andrew.

Andrew, consider yourself a dog tonight and me, your master. See, when a dog behaves badlly. He needs to be taught right from wrong. Well, you've done just that buddy boy. You come out here and spit in the faces of every 'big name' that has helped made wrestling what it is today so that guys like YOURSELF can have a place in this business. Thats just something you don't do kido.

Fasten your seat belts Andrew.. Because tonight in this very ring. You'll be in for the ride of your life. I plan on beating some respect into you. Whether you like it or not.

[andy]

Whatever. It's funny how quickly he backtracked when told the truth after giving him free reign of the floor. Ask and ye shall receive... perhaps he should listen to that age old saying sometimes. Andrew didn't care for this anymore... he got what he wanted. Tonight it will be him against Sir Feds-a-lot, and dammit, it's high time that Andrew picks up a win. He heads to the back.

[brandonpayne]

HaHa... see fans, there's the real Andrew Rose right there. Tucking his tail between his legs and hauling his ass out of here. Andrew, you talk a big game pal. But the bottom line is. You simply "can't cut the mustard" as the 'old saying' goes .

Loved by few...

Hated by many...

Any day above ground...

Is a great freakin' day...

...Book Closed...
...End of Story...
...Deal With It....

With that said, Genesis gets the final word in and leaves the ringside area towards the back to get ready for his match.
