Lock UP! huh? Nice. (O2A)

[Gabriel Cage]

Gabriel Cage looks with an arrogant look on his face and ruffles his business suit before speaking.

Gabriel Cage: You know Brandon Payne the reason of me being in GCW or in the midst of all of you wrestlers is something big and just let me be the first to tell you things will unravel at night's end. All of you will have to make some serious decisions about where you stand and what you want to do in your careers. Just know that I am not one to let the cat out of the bag just yet and I am a man of destiny. Kinda like you Payne and the rest of you in here. It is about decisions and what is "best" for your futures. Now the fact of the matter is that you all want to do what is best for your careers, right? Just think of that as you all wrestle tonight and go after what is best for each and every one of you.

Now I will be making a statement later either at the PPV or next week. GCW will be shocked to know what my real intentions are as I am just a by standard as of right now. Just a fan looking at the action and a guest of the show. It isn't in my best interest to reveal everything that I am wanting to do but just know that if any of you are serious about your careers that you will not miss a beat of what happens next. What will each and everyone of you do to better your careers? Stand in line for the opportunity or grasp it in thin air? My question to you is what is next for you guys? You want to be champion? You want to make an impact? Or do you want to be the ones hiding behind the curtain wondering about "what if" or "what that"?

Gen. just shakes his head and crosses his arms as he replies:

*Sighs* I see that I'm not going to get any information out of you aren't I ?

Gen. decides he might be better off right to just play along with this guy and go with whatever he says. As much as Genesis wants to know what kind of plan this guy has up his sleeve. He also doesn't want to get on his bad side.

Hmph ! Seems we both have alot in common.. Way I see it Mr. Cage. I don't know what it is you have planned. But just know that if it does involve. You can bet every dollar that I'm going to have my eyes on YOU !

Fact is, yes ! I do want whats best for my career. I'm sure every wrestler in this room wants that very same thing. As for me, I want nothing more then to be the very best in this industry today. And in order to prove that point. You can bet your ass that I will do anything and everything that it takes to reach the top of the mountain once more.

I've done it before in the past... and I'll do it again !

To answer your question: "What is next for you guys ?". Well, I have a match with The Avenger at the Pay-Per-View. My focus will be on kicking his ass all over the damn arena !

From there, who knows for sure.. Those who know me well know that I'm a big risk taker. You just never know what I will be doing next.

Whatever your business is here in GCW is your deal... I just hope whatever it is that you do. Doesn't interfere with my destiny ! Cause if it does. Next time we meet. We'll be doing MORE then just chit-chatting about our 'careers' and 'impacts'. The only 'impact' you will see is my foot being planted across your jaw !

[Gabriel Cage]

Gabriel Cage loves hearing the emotion from Brandon Payne as he sees he has the charisma to succeed in this business.

Gabriel Cage: You know what kid. I am not a wrestler and probably will never be one even though I can take care of myself. I can tell you got the fire inside of you to be a player perhaps. I have heard about your match with the Avenger. You seem to have the cards in the right place. When you are beating him senseless just look over at the first row. I will be the high roller looking on to see your talent. I want to see if you do have what it takes to be the next champion. As the itinerary shows you are on Lockdown. Alot of big names and huge stars over there. I know you are a man that can handle the big stage, right? Tonight I will write names down and keep those close to me for a reference if you know what I mean? Go and show the world what you can do and who knows our next conversation may be something you would be interested in? Life is a mystery and so am I. Just know that in one way or another our next meeting will be decision making. I know you seem to be the type of cat that does not make bad decisions.

[brandonpayne]

Genesis lets his arms go down to his side as he replies:

Your just one big question mark aren't you Gabriel (laughs) ?

Just when I think that I have you figured out. You throw me another curve ball.

I have no problems at all handling the 'big stage' as you call it. Wrestling is in my blood. You might as well say that I live, eat, sleep, and breathe this industry day in and day out.

Every time I go out there in front of those fans. Whether they love me or hate me. I'm always going to give 110% !

As a comic book character once said: "With great power, comes great responsibility". You better believe that when your the man. When your the guy thats on top of the world, with the world heavyweight title. You have all the POWER in the world.

That Gabriel is what I live for each day.

As I said before. I'd do almost anything to get that 'power' back into my possesion. So with that being said. If and when we do have our 'next conversation'. You have anything for me that will help me get that much closer to reaching the World Heavyweight Championship. Then by all means... keep me in mind.

Brandon looks back over to Shelby and The Storms.

It was great seeing you guys tonight. Shelby, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Brandon begins to walk away. As he walks away. Brandon begins to think about everything Gabriel had told him. In a funny strange way. Brandon feels like he just made a deal with the devil. However, if any association with Mr. Cage means Brandon getting back to his former glory. Then perhaps he might be making a deal of a lifetime.

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby waved at Brandon while he left, giving him a fake smile, and whispering to Angel, "Does he like to monologue, or does he like to monologue?" She found it funny how just a few words, said in the simplest of ways could influence someone's emotions so drastically. She smirked to herself and thought, "I used to be just like that, thinking that I gave it my all every match. Truth is, there's always a couple where you're mentally just not all there."

[Shia Storm]

Angel gives a smirk as Shelby whispers in her ear about this Cage guy. It was funny what she was saying about the guy. I mean he is saying some of the same things. Shia was standing there hearing the man, and bp speak about championships, beating to the top, and etc. Shia decides to intervene somewhat.

Well Mr. Cage, I have always been a nonsense kind of man. If I feel some disrespect for me, then I will beat the sh*t out of you for doing so. I by no means no limits to what I would do in this ring to anyone who crosses my path. I have taken people out of the equations of this wrestling business because they decided to take things where they shouldn't of taken them, and then end up getting their ass burned in the process.

I do not let anyone take advantage of my nonsense kindness. I have been burned myself of trusting people that I found out were untrustable. Found out that hey, the world can't always be trusted because there's always at least one person who's looking to stab you on the back when you at least expect it. Make the first move before they try to betray you is something I learned. Keep your eyes, and ears open to anyone that sounds like a catch. Something that just doesn't sit well, ya know.

I hope you do watch all the matches you want Mr. Cage, but know this, from all my years as a wrestling talent, and owner of my companies here, and now, I never needed anyone's help to get to the top of this business. Everything I have gotten, and will get is because I earned it! Make sure that whatever is you got planned, it won't need my services. If I loose, or fall, it will because of my f*ck up alone, and if you try to screw me over in anyway possible, lets just say that your days would be come darker each day until that fatefull day that you'd have to deal with judgement, and would be looking up at the heavens when it would seconds from going unconscious.

Something lit a fire under shia there . Angel whispers to Shelby.

Wonder what little a fire in my hubby there. He's a shy one although you wouldn't know it. He doesn't speak much when he's out of the ring.

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby's eyes widened, "I would have never guessed." she whispers back.

[Shia Storm]

She whispers back.

Yeah. When we were in our "green" stage of wrestling, he wasn't the most best at speaking or getting his words out. He was about destruction back then, and humble the hell out of your soul just with a beating. Now he can talk, and give beatings with the same affect, but he's still my big shy man away from the ring unless provoked.
