"Pulling a Hogan" (02a)

[Lionheart]

He's Ammmerriiicannn Maaayyyeeeeeeddd!

Chris Lionheart steps from behind the curtain and out onto the entrance ramp. With microphone in hand it's clear that he has just sung the opening words to Hulk Hogan's WCW theme; as he proceeds to do Hogan's poses and manerisms to no music and a chorus of cheers.

He steps in the ring.
Only kidding. We couldn't get enough money to bring the Huckster here, so instead you've got me, ''brother''...

Alright, enough crap. I did this because it's something that I've been hearing for a while. ''Lionheart's 'Pulling A Hogan'. He's only showing up when he wants to so he can collect a big PPV cheque and then leave for another month." Yeah, I have been suspiciously absent since I debuted, putting the Avenger on the injury list. For me it wasn't business, but attending to some personal affairs. I'm happy to say that those personal matters have now been cleared up and I'm back and ready to fight just as much as I was the night I split Avenger's head in two!

Since The Avenger is out of action, that brings me back to the guy I had a little problem with back in Memphis. He was supposed to come to work for me, but the two personality and no spine having Canadian jackass couldn't get his passport and working documents together in time. And that guy is the one you all know as Logan Steel, or perhaps it's Nick nowerdays, whatever. Now, LogaNick I know you're not here tonight, and that's just too bad because I was looking forward to slapping those two personalities into one right here, live on Pay Per View! You didn't show up in Memphis, now you're suddenly absent from Chicargo. Once you stop running, you've got yourself a date in the ring with Chris Lionheart. If you come back, you can forget trying to decide weather to call yourself Logan or Nick; everyone will already be calling you Number 2 on Lionheart's hit list.

Well that's all I got to say about Logan Steel. It's mind over matter. I don't mind, and he doesn't matter, so it's onto other business. I've not really been in GCW properly for long, but I do know I'm part of The Order, so if you've got a problem with them you've got one with me. Also - I do know that there's probably plenty of guys with old beef with me - so now's the time to air it fellas.

[jk]

After dis lionheart dude is complaining his ass off, and shit. Da lights dims to blue, and JK's music plays. Giving the crowd to actually cheer about, and not ya know get bored out of their mind .

Jericho pops on stage with his usual gear on. Stands there, and looks at the fool in the ring. Does his usual taunt, and the da pyro just hit. He walks down to the ring, and gives some high fives on the way. This was going to be interested for Jericho. Coming out to a has-been like this dude. Who was good maybe like 3 years ago, and trying to kick back on old glory. This would be indeed be fun.

JK in the ring now, and microphone in hand. Jericho starts to speak in a kiddish voice mocking Lionheart.

OH MY GOD. ITS LIONHEART AGAIN PULLING A HOGAN! As if anyone cares .

The crowd laughs at this dude.

Can't believe that I'm actually standing here next to that "has-been" Lionheart. Shit, the guy who got me into this business knows Lionheart very well. Told me alot about you, and your repetitiveness. Always going over the same things again, and again. Looks like it was true huh. Dis fool want to talk about past shit like it matters.

Message to Lionheart.

Get over it.

Nah Nah. Hey Hey Hey. Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!


The crowd starts chanting that same thing that probably has old lionheart a little pissed.

Hear that foo'? They want you to get over it as bad as everyone else does? Ya dig?

I hope ya got a clue now, and realize that you need material, and something that doesn't make the crowd fall asleep. Talking about being part of the Order which hasn't done much lately like you haven't done anything like this year.

Don't like my words, no one cares, and deal with it. Consider whatever challenge that you threw out taken because I'm going to do probably everyone else want to see, and that's see you get your ass kicked!

[Steve Toreno]

Calling by Taproot Plays overhead. and out from the curtain walks Steve Toreno. Toreno looks at both men before laughing. Toreno thought the freak show was in town. Toreno headed down the ramp mocking fans as usual. he climbs the steel steps and climbs the turnbuckle from behind. he lifts his arms into the air, and receives a chorus of boos. He jumps down and the ref passes him a Mic.

WOW brother we have Hollywood Hulk Lionheart and Da Street Kid Jericho. it seems this is the land of mockery wrestlers.

the fans continue to boo Toreno. Toreno turns to Jericho.

First off kid, learn some respect!! this guy has been everywhere and has probably been wrestling since before you were born. and i mean who comes out here and bad mouths Lionheart. he is a legend, and he would probably make you tap within minutes of the match starting.

Toreno then turns to Lionheart.

And Hollywood. what the hell do you think you're playing at. you walk out here boring the fans to hell. and to think there was a point where you were world champion. And i will be damned if you walk into ascension and bore the fans on that night as well. oh no. i saw your challenge in the back and i knew that it was about time we saw Lionheart against Toreno. Because i have never been in the ring with you. and now with my impressive singles record i think it is about time we saw just what would happen.

Toreno then remembers that Jericho is also in the ring.

And Kid. this looks like it will be your lucky day. facing two legends in the ring. damn if i was not already a legend i would have cut off my ear to be in this match. But then again you probably do not know when to be grateful for such an encounter.

Now How about it? Lionheart Vs Jericho Kaine VS the King Of Old School and the first ever GCW Tag Team Champion. the one and only Steve Toreno.

[brentsteel]

_{OOC: Just for fun, Brent is too young to wrestle}

Just then The Devil's Own by Five Finger Death Punch, the fans erupt as they expect to see Logan Steel walk out injured or not. When Brent walks from behind the curtain it is disappointment and the crowd collectively groans

"OH MY FUCKING GOD, can this car crash get any worse. All due respect guys but each of you got a screw loose. Lionheart look in this business you are considered a legend, but it's pretty low calling someone out who you damn well no won't be here tonight. I saw the battle royal and my brother was fucked up before he even entered it, so you know for damn sure that after it he wasn't going to be around for a while afterward. Not to mention that he has been checked into no hospital in the United States, he is missing. If that weren't the case you know that he would have been out here ready to fuck you up, and Toreno WHAT THE FUCK you say respect Lionheart and then you trash him. Talk about a double standard man, I remember when you used to be cool so what happened?"

Just then security came out to grab Brent who had snuck in and stole the microphone, so a game of cat and mouse began as he was trying to finish talking and avoid security.

"As for your... _{hey watch it buddy this jacket is new} Insult toward my brother being Canadian... _{hey hands off the merchandise Sasquatch} only one jackass here I can see beside these security jerkoffs... _{Whoa too slow buddy hehehe} and that's you Lionheart!"

Brent still dodging the security team was getting easier as they were becoming tired, and he was far too fast for them. The quick taunts mad them even madder then they were.

"I you something Lionheart, I'm gonna quote Logan on this one. I'm Canadian and proud, you got a problem with that, see you in the parking lot!"

Brent drops the microphone and allows security to grab him and attempt to remove him from the stage area...

[Steve Toreno]

Toreno looks to this young kid. he was sure that he was only fourteen.

Listen Kid. when i say somebody else should respect guy it does not mean that i should. you see i want young kids to go into there matches respecting their opponents, whereas i go in and beat them. And anyway i am cool, just in my own special way

Now as for Logan. i am sorry about what happened, but you have got to move on, he will get better in time. and i am sure he will come for lionheart. but he will have to make do with what left of him after i beat the both of them and continue my amazing singles career here in GCW.

[hotspot]

Just then the unfamiliar theme of Calvin H. Crossfire's presidential campaign plays throughout the arena to a chorus of boos. These people didn't want a lecture about the state of the country, they wanted to see wrestling. From the curtain emerged a different Calvin H. Crossfire, and a nameplate appeared saying "Cal Crossfire" denoting that he was no longer using Calvin H. as his attempt to battle the constitution had failed, bringing his campaign to a screeching halt. Cal shakes his head as he looks up to the titantron with it playing his old Presidential campaign footage. Then he looks at security man handling Brent Steel, the kid had guts and a smart mouth.

Cal moves over to them and motions that they let him go. The security let him go and Cal ruffles Brent's hair much to Brent's contempt. Cal then looks at who is in the ring Jericho Kaine the man who his sister had developed a crush on, Lionheart the person who gave Cal his break in this business and Toreno a man who Cal didn't like but at least had some respect for. Cal then looked back at Brent who had came out here all by himself and showed some stones by answering Lionheart's rant about that Psycho that had suddenly disappeared. Cal stoops down and with his left hand scoops up the microphone that Brent had dropped.

"Excuse me! Did you just say you want people to respect others and that you beat them? So Toreno you got lucky with that Jack Jyndal and won some gold, then more so by beating him on LockUP! Den we got dis dude callin' imself Jericho Kaine, dude Vanilla Ice sucked! Lionheart you come out here and as the kid said call out someone who ain't here, man that's low... but I like it. All of you made some good points even you Toreno!"

Cal readjusts his sunglasses before looking around the arena at the people, his contempt for them not on the surface yet.

"Wrestling as you knew it is dead Lionheart, I respect you as you gave me my shot. Just admit that you can't keep up with the times so you call out the only young guy who wrestles old school, face it you are a has been, some would say a legend. If you keep acting the way you have been you will end up like a washed up shell of a man just like Hulk Hogan the man you mocked. Let's hit rewind and go back to when you ruled the ring, back when I wasn't here, back when Toreno wasn't here and back when Jericho wasn't here. Let's take a trip back to 1975, a middle aged Chris Lionheart who was just about hitting puberty got his first whisker on his chin. It was summer flares were in and you sported that ever so must have accessory the afro."

Announcer: "Jeez, what's this guy's name Cal Snoozefire "

Cal looks around the crowd who are becoming bored so bored that they can't even be bothered to boo or cheer.

"See nobody freakin' cares man, every dog has his day and yours is up. Have some self respect and hang those foul smelling boots up. Jericho Kaine, anybody else think Chain Gang soldier? Doctor of Thuganomics? White men can't jump? Sorry man but all I see is someone who wants a record deal and is going to rap with his cousin for one album then sit back counting his wedge and boring people. Let me say this to you, dis ain't goin' down like dat, bro!

People are now booing Cal as he just turned on Kaine, Cal is ignoring their boos and he gets hit by a plastic cup and is splashed by some beverage in it. Cal shrugs it off as he turns toward Toreno and smiles.

Announcer: "OH NICE SHOT, that fan can be expecting a call from John Harbaugh surely with an arm like that one, right on the button. Maybe it will keep Cal quiet! Lord knows we all hope it will!"

"Finally Toreno you dropped the nice guy gimmick and crossed over to the dark side? Laugh out loud it doesn't suit you, you are about as bad as a fluffy little kitten only difference is kittens have teeth and claws. Sorry Steve but you don't! And Code-X what's up with that mean, anybody tell you that calling yourself that is false advertising? What next a count down on your titantron? What time until you wet yourself laughing, time till claw-less kitten is let loose? You said cool in your own special way, special eh? Well Toreno your SPECIAL way of being cool is the same as the SPECIAL little girl that my sister is!"

In the lowest of low Cal had just insulted his own sister in that cheap shot, and chants of "YOU SOLD OUT" echoed around the arena. Must have a lot of Chelsea fans in the house or just decent folk who really care.

Announcer: "Maybe we do have some Crossfire fans tonight, just not Calvin Crossfire fans!"


"Shut up, get over it she's a retard. Don't pretend that you care! And Finally we have the kid, someone who I actually respect. You showed some grapefruits in coming out here and offering Lionheart a fight in the parking lot. You gonna ask Toreno for a fight out in the school yard? It's cute, real cute. Now let me throw my two cents on your brother's current AWOLness, face it son the women your big bro was with is what we call a slut, and let's be honest way out of Logan's league! People go through this shit all the time, and do they go nuts, nope. News flash kid, you got bigger stones than that brother of yours. However this is wrestling and it has no place for kids, so hit the bricks... I know it's Canada you are heading back to but meh who really cares! So take my advice and just go home, I am sure that someday your brother will turn up in a ditch like the trailer park trash he is!"

Announcer: "Man this Cal Crossfire has no morals, after harsh words on the competitors he turns on the kid. Like Cal said about Lionheart he is only trashing Steel because he isn't here. Rumor had it that Steel took a beating from GCW wrestler Psycho in Chi-Town, and he competed in a brutal battle royal. EMTs took him away and as of yet we don't know if he made it to the hospital or not!"

Cal moves toward the ring watching as the kid is fighting to get to him being held back by security, Cal swaggers and taunts Brent.

"Since it's past the kid's bed time let's say we get this on before you Lionheart start to dribble like the old man he is, Jericho realizes that he is white and before it's Toreno's bedtime too?"

Announcer: "Some tough talk there by Crossfire but can he back it up in the ring, stay tuned to find out!"

[brentsteel]

***Permissioned***

As Cal was walking toward the ring and had just about trashed everyone, Brent wasn't going to let that SOB get away. He struggled with security eventually breaking free via a swift kick to the Johnson of one security member and a head butt to the other. He wasted no time in sneaking up behind Cal Crossfire who was unaware of the young KID'S presence behind him, and Brent leaped up and preformed the most text-book dropkick to the back of Crossfire's head staggering him which led to Crossfire bumping into the ring apron and dropping to his knees. Brent got up and looked at the fallen Crossfire.

"Did ya like that huh!"

Brent not content with just the dropkick he lunges at Crossfire and a lets a flurry of fists fly on Crossfire. Until Security grab the youth again. Brent continues to yell at Crossfire as security drag him back for his own safety, but they don't remove him from the arena just pull him back.

"You ain't nothing Crossfire!"

[jk]

Watching all this shit go down was kind of funny. Had toreno coming here proclaiming that Jericho should feel lucky to be in front of two legends, but then ripping Lionheart with the same words that he just said? Then you got a president wannabe candidate who got his ass whooped by a damn little kid. Shaking his head at the circus that came before him. First stop, Toreno.

Mr. Toreno a Legend huh? How long have you been in this business?

What maybe a couple years or so?

What did you accomplish?

Maybe a tag title or so huh?

Maybe a few matches here, and there?

Now its all said, and done huh? Zee Legend of this business just like Lionheart correct?

Who's this cat fooling?

You must think that I'm one of the dumbest cats around if you think that I would consider you a Legend? Hell, you must off your rocker if you think anyone would consider your ass a Legend!

If anyone in this building right thinks of this cat as a Legend, Say Toreno is Legend!

If you don't not think of this man as a Legend, but merely someone just talking out of his ass, and feel his oversized ego, say a "Hell No" to his claim!

After a minute has passed, the whole crowd is standing up to say....



HELL NO!

Which brings a smile to Jericho's face, and a non smile to Mr. Toreno's face.

Yeah, what were you saying before about being a Legend? Oh right, there was nothing to talk about.

He turns to Lionheart who seems to have like a hairball in his throat. Something! DUDE HASN'T SPOKEN IN AGES! JK must of got him real good.

Oh, and Lionheart has been frozen by the productions of Jericho Entertaiment:)

The crowd laughs at Lionheart.

Anyways, we got a man named Call Crossfire who thinks he's the big thing, and wannabe a president huh, and kick ass at the same time. How about this though, how you get your ass whooped by a kid who's only 15?! Where's ya manhood at bra?

Anyways, yes Vanilla Ice did, and always suck? Glad that ain't me! Why I got to be Vanilla Ice huh? What? Because I talk different than you? Get over it son. Its 2008 for Christ Sake!

Now I'm ready to get this started. Toreno? Lion "hoe" heart, Anyone else?

[Steve Toreno]

Toreno laughs

[glow=red,2,300]Well. you may not think so but there are plenty of people who know i am a legend. and Jericho do not think for one minute that you have a chance tonight. you are facing two legends despite what you say, and we are going to run riot on you. in the end the only fighting going on will be between me and Lionheart over who gets to pin you.[/glow]

Toreno then turns to the quiet Lionheart.

[glow=red,2,300]Why have you not spoken. this is awful on an entertainment value. and you all wonder why i cant let this guy stink up the PPV. i am going into Ascension the clear favorite, and i am walking out the only victor. why because i can and i will. so Lionheart, Jericho watcha going to do when a can of Old School style is opened and it is running wild on you.[/glow]

Toreno is mocking both Hogan and Lionheart in this one phrase. however Toreno has the dead serious look on his face. he really wants to win this match, and with his record he has to be a favorite

[hotspot]

Brent had just done the unthinkable, the disrespectful and the down right dirty. The little Canadian Brat put his hands on Cal Crossfire, something that you just don't do and expect to get away with it. Cal a little dazed from the assault, shaking the cob webs out of his head he stands up. Removing his now broken sunglasses he stares at Brent, if looks could kill young Brent would be pushing up daisies right now. Cal stoops down and picks up the microphone. Clutching the back of his head Cal lifts up the microphone to speak

"You know kid, you ever and I mean ever do anything as remotely like that again. I will hang you from the rafters using something so bad you are gonna wish I used your testicles instead. You calling Lionheart out to the parking lot, it doesn't matter because now I get your punk ass first. Nobody and I mean NOBODY embarrasses Cal Crossfire like that!"

Announcer: "Well it looks like Brent Steel just did!"

Cal's opponents were all having a good laugh at his expense, after all those words about his competitors and Cal is beatdown not badly but beatdown by a little kid

"So after I win this match, I'll be seeing you in the parking lot punk!"

Cal drops the microphone and walks over to the time keeper, and instructs him to ring the bell. To humor Cal the time keeper does in fact ring the bell and Cal slides into the ring ready for the match.

Announcer: "Look's like this one is on right now, Cal bullied the time keeper to ring the bell. Thing is we need a referee!"
