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

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

DO NOT SHAKE THAT MANS HAND!

Both boos and cheers are heard from the crowd as Starr & Lionheart make their way onto the ramp with microphones

Are you guys blind? So blind that you cannot see past this charade of "unison" he proposes to you? This is GENESIS you stand with, and are ready to share clothes with apparently. The self proclaimed "King of controversy". A man, who for the sake of being controversial, would turn on you, right here, right now, because that pleases him, and strokes that ego of his.

He lets those words sink in for a second before continuing.

The same man, who, upon his arrival here in GCW, also referred to himself as "The Prince Of PWN", which is a complete and utter crime to decree yourself royalty of all that I own, run and accomplish with no match, no contender or successor within sight.

He tried to change his stripes and be something and someone else, and when that didn't work, and he found out I was here to take him down....he hid. He continued to defend his lucky belt against his hand picked challengers that he KNEW he could defeat.
Joe Bruiser?
187?
Colombain?

Honestly guys, how many times have YOU beaten them? Many correct, then wouldn't you, as champion, want to defend the belt against all worthy challengers, instead of hiding behind a facade of "being elite" just not fighting the elite? Because I am elite, and I've not seen my title shot! So for someone to claim to be the best, or elite, wouldn't he, or you, want to fight the best of the best?

The crowd cheers as they are catching on to whats being said and where it's going

I've not been pinned in one on one competition since November of 2007. I am 45 - 6 in singles competition in my 3rd year now of wrestling. ALL of those wins coming against the so called "best of the best" and "elite", aswell as friends of yours and guys you wouldn't think twice about fighting. But I did, and I won. You can't discredit what I've done, or what I've accomplished. Nor can you tell me not to live in the past, because it's the past that has you 4 in the ring right now, ready to shake the hand of the man who will beat you.

Just like my past speaks for me, his does aswell. So think about what he's done, how many backs he had to stab, and how many of your friends he had to step on to get where he is now.

What about you Chris? You know the man better then anyone. Tell them what they'll win... if the hand is shaken!

He drops his hand to his side, holding the mic, as he turns to Chris Lionheart, allowing him to pick up where he left off.

[logansteel]

Logan rolls out of the ring and begins a slow walk toward Starr and Lionheart, maybe he was mad who knows but something about those too really pissed him off. Logan still has the microphone in his hand, fans are unsure whether to cheer or boo or what. This was all confusing as hell to them, Logan stopped briefly to look at both Starr and Lionheart one more time. A fire burned in his eyes who hell did these two clowns think they were, it was bad enough that Genesis had insulted him by thinking he was still nuts... but Lionheart and Starr to gatecrash this little gathering didn't sit well with Logan at all. He had more important things to deal with, although he had unfinished business with Lionheart. Logan continued to walk toward them and then he stood in between them, turning first to Starr clearly the mouth of the two and then to Lionheart he tapped him on the shoulder and raised the microphone

"We have some unfinished business Chris!"

After lowing the microphone Logan then turned back to Starr and gave him a brief look up and down, and with a smirk on his face he raised the microphone again

"What the hell... Why not?"

Logan then dropped the microphone, was this a challenge to the PWN City Machine Guns did he just join the elite WTF is going on in Logan's mind. Logan then walked up the ramp and disappeared backstage

[brandonpayne]

Pretty big words coming from a man. Who seems to do nothing but cry about this and that 24/7.

Whats the matter Brent ? Feeling a bit heartbroken that its not you getting a shot instead of 187 ? Are you going to come out here and boast about the Brent Starr of OLD !? The man who 'used' to back up his word. The guy who quite arguably WAS the best in the game today.

Now all I see before me.... is a shell of the man who used to be great. Who now has to resort to tag teaming with Lionheart. Whom, just like Brent. Is living in the past of what he claims to be his 'former glory days'. When in reality Everything Chris touched turned into a disaster. His career in Ohio....Atlanta....New York....Memphis. You name the place, he's fucked up in it. Add Chi-Town to that list. Sorry Chris...but your reputation proceeds itself.

Quite frankly... your time has come and gone. You had a nice run. Now its time to step aside. BOTH of you...

Brag about your little 45-6 record all you like Brent. Win-Loss records don't mean shit. I could care less if your 45-6, 100-6, or even 500-6. It does not impress me one single bit man.

You brought up some of the guys who challenged me in the past. One thing I will agree with you on. Is the fact that all of my challengers for MY title...have indeed been unworthy. Cause if they were as good as they said they were. One of those men would be standing with my belt. As you can plainly see, all of them tried and failed. 187 will be added to the list after tonight.

Speaking of title plans. When I get done with 187. I suggest you tune in next week Brent Starr. I've got some plans that you may be interested in. Not just for you, but also members of 'The Elite'.

You see.... that little 'record' of yours. As impressive as it might be in your eyes and to everybody else's. I'm going to put it to the test. I wanna see just exactly how 'great' you really are, Brent.

Of course... if 187 gets lucky and wins the match. Then I guess... will go on to plan B. But either way it goes. The result will remain the same. The Order....and......The PWN City Machine Guns are going down. Cause always, from this point forward. The Elite will always....ALWAYS....rise to the occasion and conquer all whom stand before us.

Now Logan, you gotta face those two clowns tonight in a Handicap Match. While its pretty safe to say. The only way they could even think of getting a win over us is in a 2-on-1 disadvantage. They proved there worth last week when you & Avenger put em' out of there misery. All I can say is, go out and do your best. I know its hard fighting two clowns at a disadvantage like this. Way I see it. You & Avenger proved your points last week. WE all know who the best are now don't we ?

Afterwards. Genesis walks over and shakes the hand of Shia Storm Officially accepting him into The Elite !

[Lionheart]

Lionheart holds up a hand to silence Genesis.

Genesis, you keep making the same mistake, over and over again. You keep making this about the win or loss match record. I for one don't give two shits about weather I win or loose, but if you want to stop me, you're going to have to kill me. My reputation may preceed me, but when it does, they call me the 'real' King of Controversy. I was raising hell, causing controversey and pissing people in the back AND in the management off well before you even debuted in any wrestling company. So instead of being a King or a Prince, I proclaim you that you be known as the Jester, "King of Fools".

Lionheart nudges Brent Starr in the side with his elbow, and they both strike the 'cross' pose.

No, that's not a tribute to The Avenger, but to a guy that knows the both of us very well. You wanna talk about living in the past, and former glory days, Gen? Yeah Gen, you're right, I've been fired a few times. Maybe because I was anti-establishment, and I let the owners know about it. Maybe because I stupidly tried to help out the younger guys in this business. But my reputation has preceeded me. It was my reputation that saw a man hand pick me out of obscurity and bring me into El Chupacabre's fed. From there I was moved right on over to Ohio, where I could have passed through the bingo hall in a matter of one month, where others have spent two plus years. But I choose not to. When I did go 'prime time' on the 'A' show over there, I shot up the ladder quickly and gained a mighty title lineage in small time frame, comperable to the man who first brought me into this wrestling world. Only difference is, Gen, I didn't win them by default, being the runner up in a tournament where the guy who won already held a title belt, and the rules stated he couldn't be a double champion. Then some screwy shit happened in Ohio, and I was ousted. The very same night I got a special inviation from Vincent Fate to join his company and bring to it some name recognition. Flash forward a year, and whilst everyone is wondering where 'New York' went, and why, I was in on the ground floor with 'New York v2' before anyone else knew there was even going to be a 'New York v2'. As far as Atlanta goes, it lasted long enough. Long... long... long time! Most feds that pop up don't go over a month, two weeks, or don't even get a show out of the door before shutting their doors for good. Isn't that right Mr. WCWR Hardcore Champion? But if you want to see why Atlanta eventually, and I do mean eventually, went down, you need look no further than the talent who decided it was better for their carreers to jump ship to the newest flash in the pan organisation that passed by. Memphis? You could call that poor planning. I call it a mistake that I made, extending a friendly offer to ressurect a hardcore fed that had long been dead and buried. That wrestling society didn't work, and Memphis got dragged down too. I guess it was that which opened my eyes. You'll notice I'm not nice and friendly anymore....

Lionheart looks to his side and asks Brent what his reputation is.

Your reputation isn't one of controversy, Genesis, it's one of throwing the toys out of the pram when things don't go your way. After all, it wasn't me who "fucked up" in New York v2 and took a short hiatus. I'm still there since the day it opened. But screw 'reputations', eh?

Fact is, I've pretty much 'done it all' when it comes to going solo. I've won World titles, I've unified titles out of existance and keep them at home on my mantle piece forever more, I've been a Triple Crown Champion, I've been an "Undisputed World champion". Lets see... I've every kind of title from Hardcore weaponary right the way through to "PRO"fessional, pure technical wrestling. I've held companies in the palm of my hand by my sheer dominance in the ring and viscousness on the mic, I've helped the young guys, I've waged wars against managements, I've owned companies, I've had my company invaded and lead my company in invading others. I've done all the highest highs and the lowest lows.... BUT!

But! Tag teaming is something I've never done seriously. It's something I'd like to try out for real at this stage in my carreer. I don't care about wins or losses, I just wanna fight.

[brandonpayne]

OOC: Keep in mind to those who read this. Everything is a 'worked shoot' between the parties involved. Nothing is meant to be taken personally out of any of this. Thanks.

A big smile came across Gen's face. Yeah... this was the Lionheart of old that he'd been waiting to see for months. Now that he is out of his shell, its time to shoot him down:

Well... Chris. As much as I hate to admit. You brought up some very interesting points. Yet, you also seem to be a little bit delusional on some. You wanna call yourself the 'real' King of Controversy. Lets see... you got tossed out of Ohio (or 'left' in your words). Well.. I think I 1-up'd you there. I've been tossed out of three companies four different times for my actions. Including your 'backwater federation' twice ! Some of which I'm not proud of, but hey, shit happens !

Speaking of 'Atlanta'. Perhaps I'm making fun of myself a little bit by saying this. But fuck it ! I really don't care at this point.

Take it from a guy who worked backstage and was a part of the 'spotlight'. Atlanta was SHIT ! Nothin' but politics, backstabbing, and ripoffs. Not real characters like you could've seen during those days in Ohio & the old New York. Instead you had to deal with old fogies, guys who thought they was 'new blood', and a corrupted company owner. I tried to make the best of things and get by. Which I did and made a name for myself in the process. Then there is you Lionheart. Who did nothing but put his buddies first and everybody else second. Add to that doing whatever you could possibly do to make my life in Atlanta a living hell. Whether you hated me from the moment I walked in the door or pure jealously ? Who knows. But by November 2007. The company was already sinking like the Titanic. Christian Moneymaker stepped in to try & help matters. God bless his soul, because he did for a while turn the company around. But unfortunately, thanks to you Mr. Big Shot ! The horses were already out of the barn by that time. Everything was in complete disarray that it was BEYOND repairable. So in the end... Atlanta died a slow....painful....death.

Then of course, Lionheart being the opportunist that you are. You figured why not make a quick buck and try to throw TNB's legacy on somebody else's doorstep. So you had to bring your crap over to your New York. Which was the absolute DUMBEST idea ever ! You made TNB look like a joke over there. When really, it should've just stayed dead !

So I guess I should say congratulations Lionheart for butchering your own creation. Yeah.. TNB did last a good while. Yeah.. the company lasted for a few years. But the means justify the ends. Cause at the end of it all. You'll be remembered more for driving the stake into the heart. I don't give a rats ass what your 'excuse' is for the death of Atlanta. At the end of the day. Lionheart destroyed his own creation.

And before you go on to blame the talent for the death. Lemme just say that if it wasn't for guys like myself, Avenger, Shia Storm, Scott Manor, Nicole Storm, and a few others. Your place would've died ALONG time ago. Me & Avenger were the heart & soul of TNB. He was the 'Franchise', I was the 'King of Controversy'. We did what we could to keep things afloat. But it became unbearable in the end. So we did what we had to do and left.

And yeah, your right. WCW:R was a disaster. It died within' three weeks. But hey, look on the bright side. At least that indy federation lasted longer then Memphis ever did ! Thats all I'm even going to say about good ol' Memphis, aka the 'craphole'. I'm not even going to waste my time talking about that disaster.

My point though is simply this. You stand there and call me a disaster. I challenge you to take one good long look in the mirror Chris. Take a look at yourself and ask 'What went wrong ?'. You went from being a great superstar who was beloved my millions and thousands of people. To now being a complete and utter JOKE ! "King of Fools !?" yeah... I'd say that about fits you perfectly. Your a disgrace to this business. Take all those thousands of titles you won and flush them down the toilet. Along with everything else you've ever done. Cause now... your nothing but a bitter, old grump who has to ride the on the coat tails of myself, The Elite !, and your tag partner to get back to where you once were. Pretty sad in my opinion. But... I guess to each his own right ?

I might have done some bad things in the past. Difference being, I learned from my mistakes and became a better man out of it. You on the other hand, got worse ! I dug myself out of those holes. You kept digging deeper and deeper into your grave.

The only thing we have in common currently is we both wanna fight. You wanna make things 'personal' and 'shoot' your mouth off. Then fine, we can roll with that. Or there's option B. And thats simply put up or shut the fuck up !

Genesis lowers the mic. He is ready to tear Lionheart limb from limb at this point. The intensity in his eyes is as strong as it ever was. If looks could kill, Lionheart would be pushing up daisies.

[Avenger]

*Before Lionheart could say anything, the Avenger steps up next to Genesis and holds his hands up in the "cross-like" motion.*

You know the Avenger comes out here for the purpose of doing business and the Avenger watches two clowns that he and Logan destroyed a week ago. The Avenger looks at Lionheart as a busted man with a busted head. Never in the Avenger's class because we all know when you get in the ring with the Avenger bad things tend to happen. The Avenger does like the "rip-off" pose you two clowns did a few moments ago and the history lesson was so inviting the Avenger must say so himself. But since we are talking about history then might as well give the 2 cents that needs to be said.

Now the Avenger got recruited as you can say to be a part of this "Atlanta" project. The Avenger must say he did a total metamorphis from day 1 until this present day. But you see, the Avenger saw the talent pool there and it was a day of sunshine and a day of misery at the same time. With that being said, lets not make this out to be what it wasn't. The stars is what made it big and like the stars that are known as "The Elite." Those two words should sum it all up. The Avenger stood tall and loyal to TNB/WCW until even he had enough and walked away back to Miami to see if wrestling was still in his blood. And by time, he walked away the federation went down. Not saying that the Avenger is what made it or broke it; just know the Avenger needed to get away from certain situations. The Avenger needed to "find himself" you can say.

Now lets span a few months later when the Avenger got that call to come to NYC. The Avenger won't speak that much on it because it was a time that needs no longer to live in the Avenger. Just say for the 2 months that the Avenger was there it was the worst decision that the Avenger ever made. And thanks for the invite to that city. Again it made the Avenger question retirement that much more. Then the Avenger made his name even bigger in Memphis but that town burned as quickly as the Titanic sank. Which brings me to "Heaven" aka GCW. WCW/TNB was alot like that in the beginning. Just know this is the Avenger's home now and it is where he will reign. And the Avenger does mean "Reign."

*The Avenger hears a loud pop from the crowd and then turns his attention straight at Lionheart.*

Now you see Lionheart, the Avenger can say he has been a big rival of yours and Genesis. Got stabbed in the back and had to wait 1 full year to get the rematch that was granted to me. Had another title stripped from me from your man Moneymaker when he wanted to spice some things up. But no regrets from the Avenger. The Avenger knows he owned every title that was there and even took the WCW/TNB World Title from you when we had our little cage match in NYC. By the way, it looks great on my mantle. But you see, you and some idiot by the name of Shaddix wanted to break the roster into two's and didn't want the Avenger and Steiner to be in the same show. You know why? Because no other tag team could beat them and that even drove Steiner away. Don't worry the Avenger has alot in the tank for you Lionheart and Starr if he puts his nose in our business. The Avenger knows at LockUp or the next PPV that he is going to take you down the road of no return. And tonight the Avenger has a match with Bruiser and how you two guys got a handicap match against Logan, the Avenger will never know. Just know he is in a bad position but soak up what you can when you can. Because after tonight, "The Elite" take over and take charge. We got the CHC and the LUC with "The Elite." Shia won't have any problem beating the sucker he has to beat and the Avenger knows that 187 is just not in the same class as Genesis.

So Lionheart and Starr you go ahead and run your mouths all you want but the last time the Avenger saw the both of you is that Starr was picking you up Lionheart after my boy, Logan gave you what you are famous for. And that is the "Crymson Mask." Tonight is our night but tomorrow the Avenger goes "hunting."

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

So you think your going to have an easy time against Bruiser, huh? Then why not make a wager on that match. Seeing as I've fought with him twice, in multiple man matches, and I know what he can do, or rather pull off. Then let's make a bet.

If Joe beats you, here tonight, infront of all these people who don't give a shit about you and your "elite" stable. You, who are supposed to be the good guys, but get no recognition for your face value. Hell, I get more cheers then you all combined, but thats because these fans don't give a shit about good and bad, they care about who can bring it, and who can go win.

So as I was saying, tonight, WHEN you lose to Joe Bruiser, you will have to, dye your hair hot pink and wash that godforsaken mime makeup from your face. That is, if your not afraid to accept the wager. BUT, if you should beat him tonight, then I will cut MY hair, dye it some ridiculous color, and wear some fancy new threads then.

So what's it gonna be Avenger, Chicken? Or Hero?
