It Only Gets Better From Here (O2A)

[dp]

"The Streets" by Bone Thugs 'n' Harmony, The Game, and Will.i.Am began to fade out from the PA system. The Black Out had already come down and made their way into the rings. There they stood with microphones already gained from the ring side staff members. There was a little more support shown their way this week. Must have been that win last week that gained that support. They could see fans in the crowd wearing the white and black Black Out face paint. That brought smiles to their faces. DeShaun turned over to Anthony. Anthony looked over to DeShaun. They gave each other a nod before looking out to the crowd. DeShaun lifts his microphone first and gets on with the show...

DJ: "The Black Out is in the building!"

The fans begin to cheer. Seems like winning gains the fans loyalty or something. Such fickleness in the GCW fanbase.
Anthony chimed in afterwards....

Ant: "It's only going to get better from here. You see... We're coming harder this month. We're coming hard and we're on the rise this month. Last week... On MayheM.... You saw us run through two of the biggest names in the wrestling world. Joe Bruiser and Nicole Storm."

DJ: "What happened? We won. We came, we saw, we conquered. You see... A lot of people might have thought that The Black Out was a couple of jokes. They might have thought that we weren't the kind of guys that were going to make it. But we come out every week and prove that there is no quitters in us. We get up and we dust ourselves off. We come back for more and we fight harder than we did the last time."

Ant: "We proved that last week. You see... Joe Bruiser had jokes. And he paid dearly for those cracks he made about us. Unfortunately, he had to sacrifice Nicole Storm with his idiocy."

DJ: "I may have left that match bloodied, but atleast I didn't leave that match as the loser. And it's only going to get better from here. That's what we're here for tonight. We're here looking for another team to go against us once more. The new and improved Black Out. We'll take on all challengers. From whatever tag teams are around here to any two people looking to team up for a match. It makes no difference who it is."

Ant: "So... Come... on... DOWN!

The Black Out lowered their microphones. Eyes fixated on the stage. Awaiting for any challengers to answer the call.

Thats when the music hit, and Brent Starr made his return to Lockup.
The fans cheer the return of The Dean Of PWN U as he stands at the top of the ramp, soaking up the reaction he's getting. Then when it dies down, he finally speaks.

Good god it's great to be back on the blue show. Don't get me wrong, MayheM is my home, and the home of the real talent, if I may say so. But the one thing MayheM don't have, is you two.

See MayheM is supposed to be the home of the hardcore, street fighting type styles that you guys possess. So how is it, your stuck on the tech show? That's like a gangsta stuck in a computer class, with no way out! So, heres the deal. I'll take any talent in the back, right now, whether they are Lockup talent, or MayheM, and come down to the ring tonight and show you two, the talent you could be competing with over on MayheM, if you spoke up, raised your hand, and finally spoke to the dean about transferring to where your talent, won't go wasted.

The crowd cheer and begin to talk about who would come out to accept the partnership of Brent Starr for the night.

So, who is it? Who is going to man up here tonight, untuck their tails from tween their legs, and partner up with me, to put these two to the test and see if they can truly hang, with the top tier talent in the game.

[Jack McArthur]

The sweet sound of guitars started to play over the P.A System. It was the opening riff to Airbourne's song Runnin' Wild, also known as the entrance song for Jack McArthur. Jack rushed out onto the stage, as he threw fist into the air. He was pumped, and ready for action. Jack gave the crowd high fives, as he made his way down the ramp. A couple of seconds later, Jack stood in the middle of the ring with the rest of the men. He raised his microphone up to his mouth as the music was cut.

" Brent Starr...Mate, l accept your offer. Tonight, is a wrestling fan's dream, as we will team up tonight to show the talent in Lock Up that Mayhem is the number one show to watch today. So listen up you two. This match will not be a walk through the park, like the last couple of matches you had. Tonight you two would be taking on two men, that live and breathe extreme. The question is, will you be ready? "

Ant: "Will we be ready?"

Anthony looks over at DeShaun. Eyebrow cocked up at the question posed to them. DeShaun looks back at Anthony. An eyebrow cocked up as well.

Ant: "You hear this guy De'? He asks us, if we will be ready...."

DJ: "Hmm... Let's see...."

The two men look back at Brent Starr and Jack McArthur. With a concerned look on their faces this time. Pondering their thoughts. Then The Black Out both shrugged their shoulders simutaneously. DeShaun decides to continue...

DJ: "That has got to be the most ridiculous question that we have ever been asked. Will we be ready?"

Ant: "No disrespect or nothing like that, but that question is pretty ridiculous. What should we get ready for? Two members of Team MayheM? Umm... Newsflash... We've been facing Team MayheM for quite awhile now. Lauren Blayze of the Blazing Vixens was a MayheM competitor. Joe Bruiser of whatever their team is called was a MayheM competitor. Both of The Greys are MayheM competitors. Nick Jones of New Common Error is a MayheM competitor."

DJ: "Pretty much the majority of our competition that we've faced have been from MayheM. What makes you two any different?"

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

The difference is, aside from Bruiser, you've faced push over talents. No disrespect to them, but they aren't anywhere near the level that I stand on. People spend years in this business, busting their asses, paying dues, using backstage politics and riding coat tails to get to where I'm at in the game.

The difference is, they are the knife, I'm the Gat, and I'm standing outta swings reach. The only fall back is, I've never held a tag title professionally, so I guess you could say Tag Teaming, is a weakness of mine, even when I carried almost every single partner I've had to the success we've had, just to fall short of gold.

He turns and looks at McArthur

And this will be a continuation of something that was to be set in motion months ago. When we were originally going to team up, and shred the competition. So I'm looking forward to this match even more now. Not just to test myself against this upcoming tag team, but to see what you've got to add to the match.

Who knows, Lockup might bear witness to a new team, here tonight, that might take the world by storm.
