'Our Time Is Now' (o2 3 Invites Only)

[brandonpayne]

Genesis' theme music hits the PA System. The fans immeadiatly begin to boo very loudly. The King of Controversy has not exactly been on there good list as of late. His old antics had returned once more. Genesis on the hand. As been a little irrate. Feeling he should given his respect from the fans & superstars in the locker room. However, he hasn't exactly received.... or at least in the way HE wants it.

Genesis steps out from behind the curtains with a mic in hand. Making his way down aisle, and sliding into the ring. The Continental Championship Belt, resting firmly around his waist. Yes... he was very proud of his championship. In his eyes, only he was worthy of carrying such a title of its prestige.

Genesis stood there, waiting for the crowd to calm down. As they slowly begin to do so. Genesis raises the mic to his lips & speaks:

I made a promise back on LockUP that something big or 'catastrophic' was going to happen here tonight. And by god, its going to happen right.....RIGHT NOW !!!

So without any further ado... I would to call out the following superstars into this ring. Because I've gotta piece of my mind I'd like share with all of them.

The Avenger !

Fans cheer

Shia Storm !

Fans Cheer

LoganICK Steel !

Fans Cheer.

Genesis lowers the mic & awaits the arrival of those 3 men before carrying on any further with his activities.

[Shia Storm]

Genesis doesn't have to wait too long. Lights darken, and "In Christ" by Living Sacrifice begins to play. Shia Storm comes up with his wrestling gear on this time. Title on his shoulder as he walks down towards the ring. This was definitely an unplanned event for the audience to see for sure.

Shia makes his way inside the ring as he got a microphone while on the outside. The crowd is electric as they await the others to come out here for whatever Genesis has on his mind. Shia doesn't say a word though as he awaits the others to come out as well too.

[logansteel]

After a few moments then The Devil's Own by Five Finger Death Punch, and Logan Steel appears on stage, the same look on his face as always not even fatherhood had changed that. Standing at the top of the ramp he looks at both men, he was curious that Genesis had invited him out and Avenger. Only one way to find out and that was to go to the ring and ask. So Logan made a slow methodical walk to the ring, briefly smiling as he saw a sign relating to the birth of his daughter just a few days ago. Logan then hops onto the apron and a staredown of the two men begins, until he enters the ring. Logan then sits in one of the corners of the ring like Raven and waits for either man to say something or the arrival of his tag partner from LockUP either was fine, he didn't care just wanted to know what was going on

[Avenger]

*Avenger's music plays as he walks on the ramp. He looks around to see what is going on as he sees Logan, Shia, and Genesis in the ring. He makes his walk to the ring as he enters. He looks at all of the men in the ring and then puts his attention on Genesis. Not knowing what this is about he finds himself not trusting anyone and ready for battle if it comes to it.*

[brandonpayne]

Genesis, seeing that the three men have now arrived. Decides to go on ahead and get down to business. Raising the mic to his lips as he speaks to all 3 men:

First off, lemme thank each of you for coming out here on such short notice. I know you each have your hands full tonight as much as I do. Believe me, this will only take a second.

Genesis then walks over and motions for a nearby camera man to grab something from behind the time keeper's table. What he pulls out is a huge briefcase. What could be inside ?

Genesis lays the briefcase on the ground, opens it up, and pulls out a black t-shirt with some kind of log on the front of it:

What I have here in my hands. Just isn't a normal t-shirt. This... is the start of a new chapter....a new beginning if you will for all of us.
Allow me to explain.

For weeks on end. Not just myself, but each of you three men have been disrespected. From everybody. From the GCW Superstars, the Fans, 'Powers That Be', and of course....The Order !

Mixed reaction by the fans.

Lemme start with you, Avenger.

As far as me and you go. I believe we patched things up and settled differences on LockUP am I right ? But thats not what I'm talking about here this evening. What I am talking about is respect. Lemme ask you this my friend. When you became the first ever Continental Champion of GCW back in February. Did you get any respect or love from these fans ? Did anybody in that locker room patted you on the back and wished you good luck champ ? When me & you both headlined Exodus, did we get any kind of respect from our peers out of our match ? My opinion Sebastian is....hell no ! You know why you did get any kind of respect ? Same reason I didn't get any. Because were not apart of the 'good ol boys' union. The fans here, are afraid of change. They don't want to see us in the spot we are in. They'd like to see some other johnny come lately's take it. Guys like a Joe Bruiser, 187, Chris Lionheart, Brent Starr, The Order, I could go on & on. You don't get the respect that you EARNED here my friend. Is that true ?

Genesis looks over Shia's direction.

Shia Storm. I know we have never been on the same page too often. But unlike these idiots out here and the locker room. I was one of the very few who has respect for what you have done for this industry. Look at you. Your the GCW LockUP champion. The very first and thus far, the LONGEST reigning champion in history, am I right ? But Shia,lemme ask you this. Do you get any kind of respect out that ? From the fans, wrestlers, etc ? I think not..

Genesis looks over at Logan Steel.

And you Logan....errr....Nick...whatever you wanna call yourself. You my friend, are the very FUTURE of this company. You remind me of me sometimes....minus the split personality part . You could very well be the man someday. Just like Avenger & Shia over there. You my friend deserve to be here where I'm at today. When it is time for me to hang up the boots and call it a day. But likewise Logan, do these morons....these fans....give you any respect ?

Again....I think not.

Harvey Bazztard: Where is he getting at with all of this ?

Genesis, walks back over to the briefcase. Picking up what looks like to be 3 more t-shirts. Tossing one after the other to each man.

Well gentleman.... like I used to say: "Respect is earned....not given". Well, were going to put a whole new meaning on that one are we ? Cause if you can't earn respect the right way. Sometime....just sometimes, you have to MAKE THEM respect you !

Whats the logo on the shirt you may ask ? That symbolizes exactly what each of the four of us are: We are simply....

'THE ELITE !'

Bazztard & Gracelia: THE ELITE !!!

Fans, begin to react. Some of them cheer....some of them boo. Either way, it appears that this could very well be history in the making. "The Elite !". Genesis, Shia Storm, The Avenger, & Logan Steel. All combining forces for the first time ever. Each man has made there mark in GCW. This could be trouble ?

Now, before I let each of you three have your say. Allow me to say one more thing.

Gabriel Cage...The Order....PWN City Machine Guns....Gee-C-Dubbya . Take a good look at what could possibly be, the single biggest force in our industry today...BAR NONE !

All of us combined !? Are simply the "Best of the Best....and nothing less".

Each of us are the cornerstones of this company. Whether you guys, or the precious 'fans' like it or not !

Fans begin to boo loudly once more.

So I guess with that said. There's only one thing left to do. Avenger, Shia, Logan.... fella's. I said what needed be said. Now all thats left is this. Are you guys with me....or....against me ?

Afterwards. Genesis lowers the mic and then proceeds to put his 'Elite' shirt on. The letters glowed in solid gold. Very unique, who ever saw a T-Shirt who's logo was actually made out of 24k solid gold.

[Avenger]

*The Avenger listens to what Genesis had to say and even looked at the new cool tshirt. He glances over at Shia and Logan as well as he keeps the tshirt in his hand.*

You know what Genesis? The Avenger feels our little battle is over. And as you know when you called me to be your partner it was a business decision as all decisions that the Avenger makes is all about business. And the Avenger knows maybe you are not 100 percent tonight but then again don't think you need to be to defeat 187. The Avenger will let you handle that business as the Avenger plans on whooping Bruiser just because the Avenger can.

Now with that said it is time that the Avenger aligns himself with a group that will dominate. Kinda funny how things come to a full circle when it comes to groups, domination, and the Avenger. Not the first time this has happened ya know. The Avenger is down with it. Question is how about the other two? Question is this is about trusting people and getting the job done? And question is we destroy those in our paths? Those questions are very minimal when it comes to the talent in the ring.

[logansteel]

Logan still sat in the corner listening to all of this talk about factions, Cage had talked to him about the Order too. This was confusing as he wanted to ensure Lauren and his daughter's, he needed to be on good terms with Angel Fyre too for that he thought but not to shut down this alliance opportunity. Maybe he would have better luck in persuading Lauren to leave the Order. Logan looked at the t-shirt and the logo did look cool, but with these men in the ring who could he truly trust. At least with the Order he could see the knife coming. "Well at least it's nice to be wanted" Nick said inside Logan's head or at least he thought he heard that, it added to his confusing dilemma

"So you expect complete trust from us? I mean the last conversation I had with Papa Shango wannabe over there he saw that my soul was black and he didn't trust me. So has that changed?"

Logan slowly raised himself from the corner so he was standing, he leaned back. "You think he saw me, didn't you?" Logan heard the voice again in his head, he shook his head incase it was his imagination. Then he looked towards Avenger and then Genesis

"And how can Avenger trust you, after all you beat him down as a gesture for the Order to turn you down!"

Logan then paused as his mind went blank, "How can they trust you Logan?" Logan's eyes widened as he could feel his presence again and no mistake he knew that wasn't his imagination. He still questioned Genesis, Avenger and Shia's trust

"No disrespect to you Genesis, but you have proven that you are deceptive, and I am sure I am not the only person to say this but all three of us will eventually look to take that championship, after all this is the business we work in. Tonight you have 187 if you win, I just think you would be keeping your enemies close"

[Shia Storm]

Shia was still pondering this. Could he really trust these three?

Could he trust anyone these days is what he's thinking right now.

He's heard these others talk about can they trust me, and the others. None of them have really seen eye to eye since being in the company together whether it was in this company or another.

Well Genesis. This disrespect that you wander my way is there from some, but not all. I think the audience knows who their Lock Up Champ is.

He raises the belt high in the air, and gets a "pop" from the crowd.

See my point? Now there is some disrespect from these younger stars who haven't been there. Whoever can't respect what I have done in my career. That's on them.

Now for this group that you want to bring together. You thought of Avenger, Logan or Nick Steel, whatever you want to call yourself, and yourself Genesis with me in this group as well.

Well for one, as far as Steel goes. I remember saying long ago that this nice act that he was bringing to the table wasn't the real him. There was a darkness inside that would eventually come out. Whether you hated me for or not, I seemed to be right about that. Through this name change, and at time split personalities between dark, and light. But honestly can I trust this guy? That's not the question that should be answered. Instead, can I respect this man, and the answer is yes I can.

He looks over to Avenger. A man became a rival back in another company.

This man standing there with the face paint who always talks in third person like The Rock did.

We have never seen eye to eye. Actually had a heated argument as well back when this company was getting underway, and we faced each other back in another company too. I felt then, and probably still that he had the ego that could only damage himself. Like I was just going to lay down, and die for the man back then.

There is no denying what he has done in this industry back from his days in Atlanta to what he's already done here. I can at least respect that much.

Looks at the man who called the 3 out here.

Now you Genesis. We worked in the same company back a couple years ago, but never crossed paths. Then we finally crossed paths in another company. It became a heated tenture because at that time, I was known as a traitor by you, and the has-been Lionheart. Because I wanted to not use another company's name on a stable. That was wrong, and disrespected that former brand in my opinion. I don't forget of what all happened back then. The plan didn't work, and the stable failed miserably didn't it! Not saying it was because of you, more or less because of Lionheart himself. That's another argument for another day. I'm willing to put it at the back of my mine for now. Not forgotten, but back burner. At this moment, I'm in this group of yours.

If this thing goes sour in any way, I will go back to be that one man dynasty that's go on to holding this title to nobody's help thus far!

[brandonpayne]

Logan....Nick....whoever you are today ;D. Lemme assure you, everything will be alright. You can trust me, Shia, & Avenger.

Genesis assumes that he is speaking to Nick. In the back of his mind. The only way he could probably get through to Logan would be to bring Logan 'out' so to speak.

Genesis whips out a picture of Logan's daughter. Looks as if he came prepare if something like this were to happen:

See this picture of your lovely daughter... You remember her...don't you ?

Now come on Logan....what shall it be my friend. Are you with me, Avenger, & Shia....or....are you with The Order ? Make a choice son.

Could Genesis actually lure the real 'Logan Steel' out with one simple picture ? Maybe then, Genesis could finally get an answer from him & not his alter ego.

[logansteel]

Logan wonders why the hell Genesis was waving a picture of Michaela around in front of him, maybe he should clear it up

"You have been talking to me all along, Nick is gone, dead and buried. As you have said book closed, end of story, deal with it or something like that! Bottom line Nick is no more, I am Logan Steel"

Now Logan turned to Shia before turning back to Genesis

"The issue is one of trust, as respect and trust don't always go hand in hand, the t-shirt is a nice gesture but even with the 24 carat gold on it is a fairly inexpensive gesture for somebody on your salary. You, Shia and Avenger have nothing to prove but I do, I don't have a title list as long as my arm like you guys do. Going to be blunt here but should you be victorious tonight against 187 how about you grant me a title shot? It's the one thing other than the safety of my daughter and Lauren you could possibly have over the Order's offer"

Logan wondered if Genesis would answer that one, very few champions would just say yeah sure he's the title shot

"After all I have heard that you have found their hand picked choice for title candidate too easy to beat, but since you were trying to use my daughter as bait can you guarantee that Michaela and Lauren remain safe in all of this?"

[Lionheart]

Brent Starr's music plays, and then dies down again. Everyone looks confused, until the video screen shows Chris Lionheart in his dressing room, relaxed with his arms drapped over the back of the couch he's sitting on. He's watching what's going on in the ring on a small TV monitor.

"Hey Brent, finish up in the shower, get dressed, and come watch this. It's like looking into a bad mirror, buddy. Who gave GCW in 2008 permission to ripoff Ohio in 2006? We might be making a trip to the ring later on."

...The video screen returns to the action in the ring...

[logansteel]

Logan grumbles as he looks up to the titantron, and upon seeing Lionheart he remembers that he had unfinished business with him. Some how the victory that he earned with Avenger over those PWN City idiots wasn't enough to satisfy Logan's desire

"Lionheart..."

[brandonpayne]

Don't pay any attention to them Logan. There just children starving for attention. They'll do ANYTHING to get it obviously. Not sure what that whole 'Ohio' deal is exactly. Unlike them, I don't live in the past. I live for today and the future. And believe me Logan. The future is very bright indeed for The Elite !

As far as the title shot goes. Perhaps... just perhaps... I may give you a shot at this bad boy later down the line. That will be no problem at all my friend.

Your family will be safe Logan... I can assure of that. As long as they don't get in the way of what WE have to do. Our mission is to destroy The Order and everything that exists within' it. However... since you do not your family directly involved in the matter. Perhaps... we could persuade Lauren to jump ship so to speak ? I think she would be a welcome addition to the Elite.

One thing you must know. This deal with your family is really known of our concern. Its a personal matter between you, Lauren, and your daughter. While I can promise that your family will not be harmed. I can't promise what will happen if things do get 'out of hand' between us & The Order.

So Logan... my suggestion ? Put on the shirt & roll with the Elite !

Genesis turns and addresses Shia Storm:

Now Shia. As far as the 'traitor' deal. I don't recall ever calling you a traitor. As a matter of fact. I was one of the few TNB'ers who respected your decision to jump ship to New York. Lionheart was the guy running his mouth at the time about all of that. You know it, I know it. As I addressed with Avenger before on LockUP. I'm willing to put past differences aside and move on. So Shia, bottom line buddy. I'm letting by gone's be by gone's. I don't have a problem with you, if you don't have an issue with me ?

[logansteel]

Genesis elite t-shirt was perhaps a little too "bling" for him to wear in his current mood, he could roll with them but his main priority was for his family. Genesis had pretty much said that they could be collateral damage, and that just wouldn't do. Logan knew the chances of Lauren jumping to the Elite were slim to known, it was only during the birth that she started to speak to him civilly

"I have unfinished business with Lionheart... and if need be Starr also... I don't mind rolling with you, Shia or Avenger just be sure that if anything happens to my daughter and any of you are responsible then lord have mercy on your soul!"

Logan places his hand on the rope as if to steady himself before exiting the ring, "You know that you cannot commit to them" there was the voice again. Logan ignores it and extends his hand to Genesis it was still wrapped in the cast, the little blonde woman was so strong

[Shia Storm]

Like I said Genesis, I'm willing to let that go for now, and focus on the here, and right now. I'm in, but anybody tries anything my way, I will defend with offense.

He puts his hand out for a handshake.
