Brandon & Stacie enter there 'new home' !

[brandonpayne]

The journey to Chicago begins with Brandon Payne & his girlfriend Stacie on board a train. Headed from Memphis, TN to Chicago. The couple have been on board for close to five hours now. Both feeling tired and anxious to arrive at there destination.

With the clock reaching a quarter til 10 pm. The train finally stops at the Chicago Train Station. A very much relieved Brandon Payne looks over to Stacie next to him and says:

<Brandon Payne> - I swear to god....thats the LAST time I'm ever taking a train anywhere. Why couldn't we just take a plane and fly over here. You know, like NORMAL wrestlers would do !? Trains are just....just old school ! Guys like Gorgeous George and Lou Thesz used to ride trains during the golden days of wrestling. This is the millenium ! People like us shouldn't have to resort to such old customs. This IS all your fault ! We would've been here hours ago if we hadn't missed our flight !

*BP says as he gets up from his seat*

[stacie]

*Stacie gets up from her seat and replies to Brandon. Just before they both proceed to make there way off the train. Rolling her eyes at BP's sly remark *

Stacie - Do you ever think of anyone but yourself ? And just for your information hotshot. I was fixing my hair and getting myself pampered up for our big arrival. I have to look great when we arrive to the arena later. Did you really expect for me to come out here to Chicago looking like a trashbag hoe ?

[brandonpayne]

BP just shakes his head as they both proceed to get off the train. After getting there luggage. The couple walks over and sits down at a nearby bench. As they await there limo to pull up and drive them to the arena. Brandon responds to Stacie's comments. As he seems a bit agitated by her attitude and he attempts at least to set her straight !

<Brandon Payne> - Well first off Woman ! Don't come at me with that kind of attitude. If you remember, it was I who got you out of your situation back in New York. If it wasn't for me. You'd still be competiting in Women's Cage Fights there or better yet. Out on the damn streets somewhere, broke and homeless !

Now on your looks ? You look great as always . No need to change yourself because of the way some people here may judge you as. As for me, I'm happy to just be on my own two feet and away from all the chaos.

As you know, its been a rough up and down two years for me Stacie. But finally.....FINALLY something great has came my way. And this has led us to today princess.

*Brandon proclaims proudly*

[stacie]

*Stacie curls her upper lip as she replies*

Stacie - Wow ! Acting very arrogant today aren't we Mr. PWNage ? Meh, your right to a certain extent on our past and how we got together. True, you know how that place was like...out on the streets in New York.

*She lends back and just looks up at the sky. Seeing all the stars that our out tonight. Not a cloud in sight. As she begins to reflect on her past and how she & Brandon met*.

Stacie - I must admit.. it was hard living out in a dumpy apartment out there in Manhatten. The only way I could pay my rent, bills, or material things was through fighting in the octagon.

Fighters would come across the globe to fight for cash. Male and Female alike. Every type of fighter you could think of was there. Brawlers, Technicians, High Flyers, etc. No rules, No regulations, you fought to the death. Til your body gives out and you can't take it anymore. Thats when the fights would stop !

I've had plenty of bones broken, numerous concussions. I would go home in pain every night. I would cry myself to sleep because of it. Then.. have to turn around and get up the next day to go out and do it again !

*A tears begin to flow from her eyes*

Stacie - *sobbs* S...sorry to break down like this. Its just...so hard to look back ! If it wasn't for you coming along Brandon, I'd probably be dead right now.

[brandonpayne]

Seeing the pain in her eyes and tears streaming down her face. BP puts his arm around her as he comforts her. As he feels sorry for her and begins to reminise on the day they first met.

<Brandon Payne> - There there Stacie. I'm sorry that I snapped at you earlier. Its just....been a long trip ya know ? For the both of us really.

*Sighs*....do you remember the day we first met ?

I had just gotten released from my job there in New York. Which gave me alot of free time on my hands to go out and just have some fun for a change. Not having to worry about getting up early just to catch a plane and head off to another city or another town to wrestle.

I remember.....if I remember correctly. I was walking down the streets of New York there one night and I happen to across the place you guys would hold your fights at. Over near West 4th. Street I believe.

I was on the outside looking in. Watching you and everyone else have there fights and thought to myself "Oh my god... are they actually trying to kill each other in there !?" (Laughs).

I had never seen anything like that before IN MY LIFE !!

[stacie]

*Stacie looks up at BP and laughs. As she regains her composure and smiles .

Stacie - Yeah....it was very brutal inside that cage on some nights. I dont' think there was ever a night where I didn't leave there with my knuckles busted open. I still got a few scars on my hands to show for it. But... you know... as I look back on everything. I did have fun. Despite how brutal things were. I mean, how many people can come home at night with the satisfaction of beating someone's ass and getting paid for it ? Not too many..

But that one night... I remember you coming up to me and checking to see if I was okay afterwards. I thought that was very....sweet . I just didn't have too many friends and only knew the ppl. I worked with. So, even though we had never met before. Its just for the simple fact that I was virtually a loner and had nobody to turn to. So it was nice to see that at least somebody cared for me. Even if it was just for that night ya know ? At least....thats what I had thought at first.

Then... we started hanging out all the time. Going out to night clubs, parties, to the movies, dinner. We did just about everything together. We grew closer... became good friends. And as time grew on. We became more then friends didn't we ?

[brandonpayne]

BP smiles and kisses Stacie on the head as he replies .

<Brandon Payne> - Yeah....we did . You are the best thing that has happened to me. Even a guy like me who's job is to punish people in the ring and make a joke out of them on the microphone needs someone to come home to everynight ya know lol.

But seriously Stac...

I think both of us make a great team.....in and out of the ring. We had our fun in Memphis in the short time we stayed there. Now is time for our new journey here in Chicago

[stacie]

Stacie - Speaking of which. You told me just before we left Memphis about this new 'job venture" of ours. Care to elaborate more on this ? You told me on the train that you received a letter offering us a chance to wrestle at a place called "GCW" ?

[brandonpayne]

*BP pulls out the letter he had received and shows it to Stacie. And begins telling her about its contents and what would be in store for the two of them*.

<Brandon Payne> - Basically, this letter states that we have an opportunity to wrestle for "Global Championship Wrestling" ! aka GCW. Some of the best names from around the globe are supposed to be competiting in this federation (no pun intended btw) .

So, when I get wind of this. I figure, hey, WHY not ! I've been looking for that spark thats been missing in my career since the old days of Atlanta. I haven't quite found that yet.

You see babydoll...

I've wrestled everywhere these past two years now. Atlanta, New York, Ohio, Toronto, Memphis. I had my fair share of fun and had a lot of laughs with many that competed in these places. I had some success too. However... I haven't been able to get back to my former "Main Event Status" of before.

Something was missing when I was in these area's ? I'm not sure what it was or could ever put my finger on it. Its like....its like Stacie. I didn't have the drive to do my best anymore. I even began to question my own abilities ! I wondered if I was 'losing my edge' so to speak. Going a bit soft or perhaps getting burnt out.

Truth is... as I've told you in the past. I haven't been a World Champion in over ten months now. When and if we get signed to GCW. I wanna fight for that chance again. A chance to be at the top of the mountain. I enjoyed that feeling before. I know what its like. The taste of victory......the taste of being #1 in the organization. To be the man looking down on others rather then looking up ! I want to experience that just at least one more time !

And I feel GCW is the place for this to happen. Chicago is our 'New Home' Stacie. You will have great success here, I just know it ! Your new into the wrestling business. But you have talent, beauty, and a killer instinct about you in the ring. And those 3 key factors will give you success !

As for me...I guess it will be a big test for me as well. To see if I "still got it" in me for another run !

*BP's pager begins to beap loudly. He looks down to see who it is and its his limo driver*

<Brandon Payne> - Ah great ! Its our limo Stacie. Hang on one second !

*BP pulls out his cell phone and calls up the driver*

[/i]

<Brandon Payne> - Hey man ! I just got your message here. Are you on your way ? Cool....you'll be here in the next couple of minutes ? Sweeeeeet ! Alright man, later !

*BP hangs up his phone and tells Stacie*

<Brandon Payne> - Alright baby. Our limo should be arriving here in just about anytime. Since its still a bit early. I think we should go and explore all the sights and sounds of this city. Like in the old days .

[stacie]

Stacie - *Yawns* Oh.... I don't know Brandon. I'm kinda tired and its been such a long trip. I'm sorry baby...but I'm just not really in the mood to go out on the town tonight. Could you just have the limo guy take me to our hotel nearby when he picks us up ?

[brandonpayne]

*Brandon just shrugs his shoulders and reluctantly agree's with Stacie. As he seems to want to go out & have fun. But he cleverly comes up with an idea*.

<Brandon Payne> - I tell ya what Stac. Since you do seem rather tired. I'll have the limo guy drop you off there at the hotel. As for me, I think I'll go check things out around town. Who knows what'll I'll get into tonight. May run into a few people along the way or into a few 'old friends'.

*The limo pulls up just outside the station*

<Brandon Payne> - Ah ha, FINALLY ! Took the bastard long enough ! Hmph !

[stacie]

*Stacie smiles as she gets up the bench and the couple begins to walk out of the station towards the limo. Just before entering the limo, she tells Brandon*.

Stacie - Always cussing like a sailor aren't we Mr. "Prince of PWNage" hehe ;D. You think you know everything about everything. Acting tough all the time and acting oh so superior to everyone that crosses your path . When deep down inside that small tiny heart of yours.. Your actually quite a softy .

*Stacie opens the limo doors and get inside. Awaiting BP to jump in*.

[brandonpayne]

<Brandon Payne> - You REALLY must be very tired... because your acting completely DELUSIONAL. I mean....me.....GENESIS.....Brandon Payne....The Prince of F'N PWNage ! A "softy" !? Psst... ya gotta be kidding.

Anyways babe... I'm gonna have the limo guy drop you off. Then, I'm gonna head on out and catch up with some 'old friends'. I have a few buddies that I haven't seen in a while that our out here in Chicago. I think I may call some of them up and we'll go out somewhere maybe.

*BP jumps into limo next to Stacie and slams the door. The limousine speeds out of the driveway and heads out to the Days Inn hotel. Where BP & Stacie are staying at for tonight. What happens from here with BP ? Well.....thats ANOTHER story waiting to be told !*
