LockUp vs Mayhem (o2a)

[Avenger]

*The Avenger's music hits as the PPV is under way and the crowd is in awe over him. He walks down the ramp as the cameras start going off to give a slow motion effect. He slides in the ring as a mic was waiting for him in the ring. He grabs the mic as the fans cheers fade out.*

Now the Avenger knows that some of you are wondering why are you out here? We know you are in the main event and will capture the World Title for the 3rd time. We know you are an ICON and ready to take care of business. Well all of that is true but you say the Avenger and some Mayhem stars got a date that the Avenger just can't wait for.

*The Avenger starts pacing before he stops.*

Oh and you want to know what that date is? It is tonight if 3 of Mayhem's finest have the balls to get in this ring and face me and two other LockUp stars. You see the Avenger has dropped everyone in his path but last week we had Christian Pryce run that nickle about how LockUp is the minor show and they are the Major show. And even though the Avenger is in a Chamber Match already. The Avenger is willing to make it a double duty. The Avenger is willing to put his body on the line for the honor and respect for LockUp.

Now the Avenger knows what you are thinking. How can you do such a thing. How can your body handle it? This is the "Grand Daddy" of them all. Might as well go out with a bang. So basically what the Avenger is saying let the 3 biggest names of Mayhem face the 3 biggest names of LockUp in that Chamber tonight. To show the world that we mean business. It should be obvious already who the best wrestler and best brand is in the first place. Even an idiot can figure that one out!

Now the Avenger knows that there are some LockUp talent that has the Avenger's back. Lets see if my comrads on LockUp can step up to the plate and Mayhem please don't disappoint.

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

Just then, Psychosexy played as Brent Starr came out, by himself. He didn't look at the fans, he didn't acknowledge anyones existance in the arena outside of himself, and Avenger. He looked him dead in the eye as he walked the complete ramp down to the ring, circled to the right, grabbed a microphone and climbed into the ring. He walked right up to the man who had beaten him twice, and had not fallen to him. A first in history...

I accept!
I accept your match and challenge, but on one condition.

He stepped back from being nose to nose and left breathing room as he continued.

You are the one man in my career I have no beaten, that I've aimed to do just that. Some call it failure on my behalf, I call it chance not playing to my side of fate. Your the one man in this entire industry who can say he's beaten me twice, without tasting defeat at my hands. Luck is surely on your side for those choice occasions of ill fate on my behalf. So I want that chance to even the score, even if I have to do it one time here tonight, and not again until next year.

Now as I said, I accept, but on one condition.
I want you to have Brandon Payne on your team!

The crowd is shocked as the man isn't even signed to the company anymore

That's right. I want him to be in your corner, to tag in, and take the beating he ran from when he knew I would get to him and take the title from him. He knows, these fans know, everyone in the back knows, that is exactly how it is. Build a wall to protect the belt and see if Starr can get through it. Well we seen what happened in that tournament. I went right through the walls and I made it to the title match, and that is where you beat me the first time. But it shouldn't have been you.. it should have been him to fight me.

Now he comes back to the scene of the crime and drops my name as if I carried a torch for him all this time, when the fact is I buried his name in the books as the man who chose to run. So now I want him to have no choice but to stay and fight. And you will be the man to convince him.

A pop from the crowd they envision the epic encounter that could be, there before them tonight.

If he declines, then I will not participate in this match. You said you wanted Mayhem's best, and that is what I am, belt or no belt, and you know it. So for the sake of competition and knowing you beat the best of Mayhem, you had better convince him, or you'll know you beat the farm team instead. I know you don't want that to be the asterisk of your career here in GCW. So I am confident you'll do just that. And while your at it, perhaps some pull with hunter of your brand, Shia Storm. For doesn't he himself believe he is the cream of the LockUp crop, and self proclaimed best that GCW can offer? Then you will want his hand to tag aswell, for I will not take a win unless it is over the 3 of you, all at once, in the same night.

Which brings me to team Mayhem then, correct?

The anticipation builds as the fans ponder what Starr could be pulling off.

I want Scott Manor, but he's not enough.. I want MANIAC instead. I want the man who was the thorn in my side, week after week, the man who cost me a title shot, the one who buried me alive and pushed me to be a more all around fighter. I'll settle for no less then that man. Likewise I'll settle for no less then the man who played lapdog and second fiddle to the the 3 of you and never got the recognition he deserved...

I want STEEL!

A gasp was heard from the live crowd and suddenly all was quiet

He's the one other man in this company I can respect, not just because he breathes intensity, he bleeds intensity and he damn well knows he can amount to more then the brief stardom he assumed here before fading into the dark, never to be heard from again.

Those are the four men, other then you and I, who need to fight here tonight and put a nail in the coffin that is the drama this place was subdued with, because of a champion who walked away without losing, like a man. So if you want to put on a show, by all means, smoke and mirrors these fans with some other guys in the place of the men I've named.

But if you want a fight, a battle, a war to send GCW out with a boom instead of a bang, then all these pieces of the puzzle will fall together to create a masterpiece of blood, sweat, violence, vengence and REDEMPTION!

He stops there and waits to see what will happen, what will be said and if these conditions are met

[Scott Manor]

Deify plays throughout the arena as Manor walks out from the back. He didn't do his usual crotch chops though. Instead he walks out with something in his hands. The people close to the front rows can see what it is as he walks down the aisle. It's the mask he wore when he first came into wrestling. He tosses the mask into the ring and then slides under the bottom rope as the crowd still cheers for him. He picks up the mask and grabs a mic and holds up the mask to Starr.

So let me get this straight. You want me to do more than just put my career on the line. You want me to do it twice, Starr. But wait, that's not all. You want Maniac. You don't want Manor. The guy you want as a partner is a guy who would go out of his way to put his career on the line.

But that's not all. You want another psycho to team up with you as well. You want Logan Manor to team up us. Man who'd probably be bent on just destroying people. A man who's as crazy as you get in my honest opinion.

Manor lowers the mask as he continues.

But that's not all. That's just Mayhem's side. You want us to go against Avenger, Brandon Payne, and Shia Storm. And this isn't really about proving Mayhem to be the superior brand. This about your ego and blaming everyone else, but yourself for failing to capture the title.

And based on that alone, I have half a mind to lay your ass out right here and now. That's not including you basically demanding me to team up with you or trying to say you want the old me back. See Starr this isn't about what you want. When it comes to me joining this match it's about what I want out of this. But see I'll join this match not because you wanted me to. I'll be in it cause I find it entertaining to watch you and all the other egos battle with words by saying the same thing over and over again.

Manor lowers the mic without really even addressing Avenger at the moment. Afterall, wasn't really Avenger who directly called him to the ring, it was Starr.

[Avenger]

*The Avenger looks as Starr does his promo as this seems to be the match of all matches. He knows what he has to do but can he really do it.*

You know for a man wanting a piece of the Avenger you sure got alot of stipulations? Just figured you would come out and be one of the first if not the first Mayhem wrestler to come out. Because you have always believed and perhaps you are the best that Mayhem has to offer. And perhaps the old ticker in your heart actually works and you want to prove to yourself and your fans that you have that you can beat the Avenger or at least hang with him toe to toe. The Avenger can say that getting you in the ring one more time is an itch that the Avenger just can't settle. You see Starr we have tangled twice and yes you are right the Avenger has come out on the better end. But you see being a 2 time GCW World Champion is not good enough for the Avenger. The Avenger has to go to higher heights to become what his goal has always been and always will be.

*The Avenger looks at the crowd as he is trying to find something as the crowd cheers.*

You see the Avenger can't promise you everything you request because as the Avenger knows there is a God but he isn't him. Now it seems to the Avenger that you got a little beef with not only the Avenger but with Brandon Payne and Shia Storm? We were the 3 guys that were going to lead GCW into the horizon that no one could ever do. Now the Avenger can't blame a man for leaving if his heart wasn't into being here. And you can run that nickle all you want about Brandon running. The Avenger knows for certain he has never ran from anything. But hey you saw him a few weeks in the arena and he even came to support Crossfire. But you see, the Avenger is uncertain if he wants to wrestle again. To me the guy can still go toe to toe with the best but from what the Avenger saw he just seems not so interested. But the good news is the Avenger still has the young lad on speed dial. From all the bad that we put each other through we did at one time or two did matches together as a team and he has backed my play as much as the Avenger has backed his.

Like the Avenger said, there is only so much that the Avenger can do. The Avenger knows he is probably in the back with Crossfire getting him ready for his big match tonight. But you see Starr if he is ready then you will know first hand.

Now as far as Shia Storm goes? There has never been so much hatred between us. We only did a few things together and it was always because of business and nothing more. If you ask him, he would probably tell you he wouldn't piss on the Avenger if the Avenger was on fire. But then again, the Avenger thinks that is how he feels about everyone.

*The fans start chanting for BP to come out as well as Shia.*

Now as far as your little claims go with Maniac let the Avenger put it to you straight. And that is, he has never been the 4th wheel. Matter of fact, he has tasted World Title gold before and tonight he has a chance once again. But you see, Scott "Maniac" Manor has a little history with BP and him coming out may spark things if you know what the Avenger means. But you see even the Avenger knows more about him then he wants to let on. Just know that if you do get Manor and Steel do you really believe that is enough to defeat the men you want?

*The fans scream hell no*

And lets not forget about the broken down and never was that is Logan Steel. A man that could not handle the pressures of life and for all the Avenger knows he is under a bridge drinking it up. Again, a woman driving him out of the sport and putting him in a depression. You really want that? Now Starr is your head on straight or are you wishing for another whooping? No? Okay let me get this straight. You want a match in the chamber with me, Brandon Payne, and Shia Storm. And you want to get Maniac and Logan Steel?

Well all the Avenger can say is that you are really wanting the Avenger to walk on water with all of that. But you know what, there are times to fantasize and have these dream scenarios and guess what. Who knows maybe your wish will come true. But remember be careful what you ask for! Because even though my partners if they accept can't and don't trust the Avenger as the Avenger doesn't trust them; you surely got alot of trust in your teammates? You got alot of confidence as well.

But if the Avenger knows Brandon Payne and Shia like he knows them then the Avenger feels your wish will come true. Bottom line is can you deliver on your part? Not just by trying to get them to fight by your side but in the ring? They call this Global Supremecy for a reason and tonight you will find your answer.

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

He looks at him as he finishes his statement, then answers him back

No, this isn't about me at all, nor the title. I want closure, and a finale.

Closure so you and the rest of the TNB alumni will move on from your past and concentrate on the present and the future. So we don't have to hear about "old times" and how things used to be. The 4 of you take air time and dedicate it to a company that hasn't been open in 2 years now, and call it history. Yes, history is what builds a career, but present time builds the way to what will be.

An unphased Brent Starr stops for a second, then continues with his train of thought

Closure between Payne & I so the smart marks online can stop with the drama, posting about how it was me who forced him out because I can't control myself and I want the title all the time.

Closure so I can say I beat the man who has not been beaten by me. I have to prove I can beat Avenger, and I plan on doing that in any way I can.

Closure so the skeptics and internet geeks can have their dream match they want... Starr & Maniac teaming against Avenger & Payne.

And a finale so I can finally put Storm to the test and see if the hype exceeds the results.

All valid points, but again, that was all about him

I could have pulled Sylas Styles out from the back and had Alex team with us too, but I didn't want the spotlight hogged by the "legend". I wanted the chance to work with two of the craziest men I've faced in this ring to date. I wanted to bury differences between us and move on to the future of this company. I wanted the best on my side, so it could be settled which brand was superior. I could have buried your name instead of praising you, but chose to respect you instead.

If you don't want to be in this match, so be it, you can be replaced as easy as anyone else, including me. But you know aswell as I do, when the odds are stacked, that is when you & I thrive to win more. So the choice is yours.. do something that is worth more then a title belt that can be stripped from you, or succeed in winning a match that can and will satisfy your urge to finally put to rest all of those old feelings and events, and push forward and create a bigger legacy then a defunct company could provide.

He then turns to Avenger who spoke before he could answer

The only thing I can say to you is this.

You may think Logan Steel is someone to be pushed around, and a never was. I think differently though. I've seen the man across the ring from me. I've looked him in the eye, and I know the passion that burns deep down inside him. He just needs to exercise the demons within him, that prevent him from being everything he's meant to be. He's a talented man, with heart and drive like Scott Manor, Maniac if you will.

Am I confident they'll want to be at my side, no! Am I confident they can equally hold their own with me, Yes! I'm not asking them to shake my hand and be my best friend. I'm asking them to come into this ring, this war, and do as they will, to prove themselves that we don't need a belt to fight over, to get the passion and blood flowing. I know they can hold their own, I know they can exceed expectations on any given night.

Tonight, I just want the blood to be shed and to give these fans, and all of these men, the means to showcase what GCW is all about. Not a second rate company that boasts a bunch of muscle headed neanderthals who call themselves names that men have used before. Not a company built on a few bright stars. A company that is built on the blood, the sweat, the tears, the backs, the shoulders, everything.. it's built on EVERYTHING a wrestling company should be. GCW's not about money, or horribly written, scripted storylines, promos and pre-planned attacks by debuting superstars.

GCW is about us, the fans and giving 1000% when the chips are down, instead of walking away when the going gets tough. We are the example, the pattern, the mold that wrestlers and companies alike are supposed to be. We can set a tone that nobody can match, aslong as we're all on the same page. Instead of being about a belt, we can be about the company. A title is won and lost, but the respect and honor of helping a company get over the hump and rise above the problems, that lasts forever.

[Scott Manor]

Manor looks around obviously fighting the urge to start a fight with Starr now. After a couple minutes of holding his tongue he raises the mic.

Starr you're really begging for me to lay you out. I don't see where the hell you get we're always talking about TNB. Hell I haven't mentioned a thing about my past in other federations except once or twice. Either I'd say it didn't matter or that people were giving me more credit than they should.

But see what really bugs me. What really makes me want to give you what you want, which if you were smart you wouldn't. It's you claiming you could have buried my name. There isn't a damn person alive who could do that except for me. If you want the old Maniac so bad, then by the end of this match, when it's all said and done. The world will see the real old Maniac. But of course being me, there'll be a twist to him.

Manor lowers the mic as he begins to toss the mask in his hand up into the air only to catch it and do it all over again.

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

You know exactly what I want when I ask for MANIAC to come out and bring his best to this match. I wasn't kidding when I said that is what I wanted. If not for the sake of giving these fans a glimpse of your true potential, then do it envisioning those men as the man who abused you, physically and mentally, all of your childhood.

Look at these men from the chamber and begin to manipulate the reality of the situation and strike back at them. They acknowledge your past, but they do so mockingly. They think your a joke, a loose cannon, and nothing of what you truly are.

If there is fire in there, throw the whole pile of wood on there and show these fans, and everyone around the world why you deserve to be in the same breath as these men. You know it, I know it, now they need to know it!

He knew he was hitting the nail on the head. His first swing of the hammer was bringing up his childhood, something that spurned the hatred from day one in the history between the two men. Now if only that fire, that Maniac, was in the ring tonight. Then there would be hell to pay, and Brent was willing to foot the bill.

[car]

Nick Jones had been away for a while. Where he was is no business to anyone else in here. But now he was back, for the PPV that would be impressive. Because it was the PPV that 3x Champion Nick Jones made his 2 month absence become a return.

*Inside The Fire* had began to play loudly through the arena. Fans were very familiar to this theme so they all started to chant Nick's name. The other 3 men look over to the stage to see Nick Jones standing proudly at the very top taunting. Nick then walks down the ramp and up the steel steps. He then gets into the ring and first looks at Avenger, he was the only LockUp! member in this whole thing. Then there was Brent Starr and Scott Manor which were getting into a huge argument. Nick then takes a mic and raises it to speak.

"Well I guess you can call this my return. Your damn right, your looking at the new biggest name in wrestling. I was gone for two months, so what I came back didn't I? I did come out here for one thing though. I heard there was a match, a match that would go on featuring three lockup! members and three mayham members. But look what I come to the ring to. There are two people that are going to be on the same team arguing and bitching over nothing. And then there is one lockup! member that is just sitting here talking stuff that no one wants to hear. Funny thing is though, like I said, one Lockup! and three Mayham. Looks like unless two useless members from LockUp! come out here it will be a 1 on Trio handicap match. And by the way you two, stop f***ing fighting. Your about to go into a PPV as a team yet you two want to get at each others throats. So sit back and relax for a minute. This win will defeintly show that Mayham is the better brand. Give it until the end of the night then go at each other. Until then act like teammates and not enemies."

[/color]

Nick shakes his head in disappointment. He then lowers the mic and waits for someone to reply.[/center]

[brandonpayne]

'A Perfect Insanity' begins to play over the PA system. Brandon Payne walks out from behind the stage curtains. Dressed in street clothes and obviously not prepared to wrestle tonight. He knew that this day would come soon. Payne figured that Starr would call him out the first chance he got. Payne's original intention was not to come back and wrestle for GCW. But more so, to help out his friend Cal Crossfire.

However..

It seems as of late that Cal has let the belt go to his head. Crossfire ignored Payne's offer and only concentrated on his match. So... what was there left for Payne to do ?

He heard Starr run his mouth long enough. Its time to settle this once and for all... but on his terms, not Starr's necessarily.

As we hear a thunderous roar coming from the capacity crowd on hand. Payne makes his way down the rampway. His game face is on and he is not the least bit intimidated by Starr or anyone else in that ring.

He walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Immediately motioning for his music to stop playing. He walks over and grabs a microphone from a nearby stage hand. Raises his lips and begins to speak:

I can see someone brought his 'A' game tonight (referring to Starr). Then again, so have I. Be careful what you wish for Starr. You might just get it.

A huge pop from the crowd ensues. Each fan breaks out into a 'Payne-Starr' chant. They know what they wanted to see tonight.

You know, its funny how things turn out sometimes. I left GCW several months ago. Feeling burnt out and dealing with other issues going on in my life. I felt it was time to take a step back away from the spotlight. Even if it was for a brief moment. To collect my head and build for a return later. Fact is, I honestly didn't think I would be back here in GCW.

I realize in leaving the company. That would mean me dropping the Continental Championship. But most importantly, robbing the fans out of a chance to see a Brent Starr/Brandon Payne matchup. There's things in life that come first before wrestling. I didn't 'run' from anybody. I didn't let the 'smart marks' get to me. I basically did what I had to do and left.

In doing so, however. The very next night on Mayhem I believe. I turn on the TV and who do I see ? Brent Starr running his mouth about how he supposedly 'ran' Brandon Payne out of this business.

Crowd begins to boo.

For those who may not remember that. Lets roll the footage shall we:

gcwadmin.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=mayhem&action=display&thread=2400

Gotta say, quite an interesting piece of video isn't it ? Typical Starr in my view. Always ready to flap his gums about somebody when they aren't around to defend themselves.

But thats not all. There is just one more piece of footage that needs to be shown for the sake of history:

gcwadmin.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=mayhem&action=display&thread=2565

Its a shame watching that footage. That the BOTH of you, yourself and Sebastian, would allow such a bad situation to become personal.

All of this combined brings me tonight. The big daddy of them all, Global Supremacy.

Now tonight, you come out here. As usual, right on schedule. Flapping your gums about how I 'built a wall' to protect my championship. First off, I didn't build a wall. I never did stack the deck against you. What I did do was. i wanted to see if you was indeed as 'great' as you said you were. I wanted you to go out there and beat Logan Steel. I wanted you to beat Shia Storm. I wanted you to defeat The Avenger. Just so you could prove to me that you were more then worthy of getting title shot.

Now unfortunately, things didn't exactly turn out that way for the both of us. I left the company due to my own reasons. You on the other hand. Did earn your title shot in a tournament. You beat all comers who stepped before you and proved to me and everyone else that you were indeed good ! That you had the potential to someday become the Continental Champion.

But did you win the title ? Nope. You failed, and failed miserably. Avenger ended up getting the belt and begun his 2nd reign. Then Avenger gave you a new opportunity. Gave you another a title shot about a month or so later. Did you win that match ? Nope. You failed again.

Two opportunities came your way, and you blew both of them. You have no one to blame on your short comings then yourself. Not me, not Avenger, not anyone else. YOU !

Then, it got worse didn't it ? Weeks later. You were attacked backstage by an unknown assailant. Which in the end. Costed you your match with.....MG.

Now, I'll give the devil his due. You were hurt. You were not at 100% on that night. But come on dude. Its MG for christ sakes ! No offense to the guy or anything. But, I could beat him with my pinky. Yet, you couldn't even beat him ?

...
...

How the fuck did that happen !? How did you allow yourself to lose to a wannabe 'gangsta' like MG !? That is something that I will be scratching my head about for many years to come.

But lets move on from all of that. Lets get to the matter at hand.

If I understand this correctly. Your wanting myself, The Avenger, and Shia Storm to team up against the likes of yourself, Scott Manor, and Logan Steel am I right ?

Hmmm.... gotta say my friend. Quite an interesting offer. It's very tempting.

But... I must decline.

Fans started to boo. Disappointed that Payne would bow out of the match tonight. Why would he do such a thing ? It was uncharacteristic of Brandon Payne to back out of a challenge. Unless he had another motivation in mind.

Hold on ! Hold On ! Don't get your panties in a bunch. Lemme finish.

See Starr, you seem to be one that likes to throw his weight around and make demands one after the other. So... I figured. Since you like calling the shots so much. I think I'll call one of my very own.

I'm the type of guy that likes to plan ahead of time. One, that likes to negotiate and do business with. So allow me Starr to make a little business proposition for you.

If my memory serves me correctly. In January 2009. There is a little PPV event called 'Exodus' right ? An event that I myself and Avenger headlined this past year. The ratings and the buy rates went through the roof that night. Well, I would like the same thing to happen twice.

Straight to the point. At Exodus 2009. I'm challenging you to a one-on-one match.

The fans begin to erupt. Just the vision of FINALLY seeing Brandon Payne go one-on-one with Brent Starr. An Elite vs Elite, Ego vs Ego, that match alone could go very well set the stage for the 2009 fiscal year for GCW.

Oh wait ! There's more. Believe me, its gets better.

Starr, I don't wanna fight you in just a regular, old and borings Singles Match. No, No, No ! I'm not taking the risk of any outside interference from your side or even my side of the fence.

I want to fight you Brent Starr in a GCW first...

(dramatic pause)

...
...

An INFERNO MATCH !!!

An Inferno Match !? Has Payne lost his mind. Just think of the ramifications for both men if one, or both them set themselves on fire. Either Starr or BP would be scarred for life !

The deal is simple really. All you have to do Starr is accept my little invitation. If you do, I'll gladly accept your challenge for tonight ! So basically everybody, myself, you, the fans. Will all get what they want.

If you decline, well... lets just say that me and you both will have wonder 'what if'. What could've been ? Would Payne come out on top or would Brent Starr ?

The ball is in your court Starr. Thats my deal, take it or leave it.

Oh, one more thing. I remember you at one time using the phrase "Pack your bags, your going straight to hell" ? Well, Starr. If you accept. You may just do that. You COULD very well be the man that drives the stake into my heart and send me straight to hell.

But lemme tell you this. If I'm going to hell. You bet your ass I'm taking you with me !!!

Payne lowers the mic. Giving Starr or anyone else in the ring a chance to speak.

[Scott Manor]

Manor just looks at Nick Jones. HE couldn't believe. Sure he hated Starr, but he'd still work with him to put on a show. But Nick Jones? Manor walks over a turnbuckle and starts smashing his head into a couple times. Eventually he stops and raises his mic.

Nick. Get the hell out of this ring. As much as I despise Starr and believe I can't stand the guy, he had a point when he called this the match of the year with what he proposed. Nick Jones in this match completely destroys it.

On top of that, being gone two months doesn't even warrent you a fucking match of this caliber. It's not like you've done a damn thing either even if you were here. You're a joke. A disgrace. Hell look at the Global Warfare Match we were in. I completely destroyed you. Why would me or Starr even support you being on a team to represent Mayhem if someone like me, beat you like you were my bitch and the odds weren't even stacked against me.

Manor shakes his head.

If you were such a big name in GCW then why were you not even considered in the Continental Title Match? Why is it no posters have been made based around you to promote an event? You're not a big name or even close to being one in this company. What you are is someone who fills a spot in the roster. And if I was wrong wouldn't someone have put you in the Continental Title Match instead of me or Pryce?

You're not worthy of being called a Mayhem superstar. And worse yet for you, is you're not even worthy of being a Lock-Up superstar. All you're worthy of being known as Nick Jones or the guy who talks big and doesn't deliver or tries to give him nicknames he can't fulfill.

Manor doesn't even address anyone else. Fire and passion would be shown later. Now thanks to Nick Jones, he wanted wanted a pair of ear plugs.

[logansteel]

WHERE DID I GO WRONG? WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO BE?

Those were the words that came out of the arena sound system, not from the mouth of Logan Steel but it was the words from his theme song "The Devil's Own" by Five Finger Death Punch and the man himself appeared on the stage, yes he was in Chicago, yes he was in the arena, and yes he had some business to take care of. He looked like he had changed a little, looked rather more well in himself that he had been seen last in GCW. He has a microphone in his hand and he raises it before shaking his head then he raises a finger to his opponent

"One thing first"

Logan then walks down the ramp and and jumps onto the apron, he looks to the two Mayhem guys and then to Avenger. Steps between the ropes and then he approaches Jones

***Permissioned, not by Jones though ***

Logan grabs Jones and tosses his scrawny ass over the top rope to the outside

"See ya"

Then Logan wipes his hand on his shirt, and then raises the microphone

"Now with that I speak with one mind, that is the trash taken care of, now to the business. Avenger you two faced douchebag, when Brandon wanted me to join the Elite you were all for it now you mock me for something that you know very little about, that face paint must be poisoning your brain a little to where you are stuck as the Avenger soon it will cause head swelling and you won't fit in the damn chamber. So you might want something to take the swelling down so you can make the fight for the world strap. Now I got no beefs with anyone but you insulted me because I love a woman that treats me so bad, and that is my problem. Avenger tell me something when was the last time you lived up to your moniker?"

Logan then pauses, before continuing

"That was at the fall of Rome. Still using the same lines too. Well maybe you need to go back and invent some new ones. Since it seems your ass couldn't cash the cheque your mouth wrote at Jingle Hell and the biggest mistake of wrestling history happened"

Logan looks over to Nick who was on the floor

"Well maybe the second biggest"

[car]

Nick Jones gets up instantly. He just fucked around with the wrong guy. Nick then gets into the ring and does the same to Logan. Making him fly directly over the rope and landing head first.

"Don't ever lay your hands on me you piece of trash. You had no right to do that. And Scott, shut your damn mouth. I don't give a shit if you don't like me in this match but I sure as hell will be. I will do whatever it takes. Logan, take your trashmouth, dirty ass back into the locker rooms and gtfo. I don't need this shit. Now lets move on shall we."

Nick looks at Logan laying there and then at Scott. He was not screwing around anymore.[/center][/i]

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

First off, security, remove this piece of trash from the ring.

He says pointing at Nick Jones, who intruded into the situation without so much as an invitation

Secondly, Brandon, your on. I'm not afraid of the potential flames that might catch me on fire. They won't hurt as much as going forward in my career never knowing what could have been. So of course I'm going to do whatever it takes, and say whatever it takes, to get you back into this ring.

A mild cheer is heard from the crowd

That's right, I admit it right here and now. I said what I said, knowing it would eventually chip away at you, and ultimately, drag you back here to this ring, to shut me up like nobody has ever managed to do.

Sure, a select few, a VERY select few, have beat me once. But I have beaten them worse, and more often. The only man to do it twice, The Avenger here. Just remember though, that it was this same company who took a vote and forced me to change my wrestling style, basicly banning me from the ultimate insult in using someone elses finishing maneuver against them. Then, even after being forced to adopt a new fighting style, I went undefeated until Avenger. Other then that, my career has been perfect, minus a loss to MG who got the jump on me, injuring me and using that injury to his advantage. Allowing him to do something, you couldn't, and still haven't done... beat me.

The crowd boos as they have no respect for MG and the way he did it

So this is all adding up. Five ingredients for the greatest match GCW could put together, all that's missing is the spice that few people like, but it makes the whole thing complete. Shia Storm! Does he have the balls to step up to the plate like the rest have, or is he too busy getting new contacts to make his eyes appear all white?

[Shia Storm]

The balls?

A sound heard that seemed to be coming from the stage.

The balls to come out here?

Shia reveals himself as he steps forward onto the stage.

What? Because I didn't come out here right away? Surely you know by now that no one does what you say or care what you have to say. Maybe you still are too dumb to realize that. Maybe you are just plain ignorant, and your head is so far up your ass that it has been real cloudy in your vision!

The crowd laughs at that.

Since when have yourself ever had balls to do anything hmm? From faking an injury so you can get an easy pass out of a loss to MG? No one is that stupid to believe you, and shame on anyone who believe your fucked up ass

You are just trying to fucking hard to be this old wannabe top dog figure that you are fiting yourself way out of the mold son. Its kind of sad when a so call Veteran has to result to ass kissing, and needing to prove himself when he's supposed to be so untouchable, and unbeatable isn't it? Basically its pathetic, and only way that you are going to save any dignity that you have left is because not speaking. Refrain from opening your damn mouth, and left real adults speak. Let the children play later if you can under that

He looks around, and sees Maniac.

Well look who it is, my opponent later tonight in the main event. Something that Mr. "Waist of space" wasn't good enough to be in.

As He gives one last look at Starr, and then back at Maniac as the crowd laughs, and applauds.

From I hear, and see, looks like you, and I will be fighting twice tonight huh. You on the side of Mayhem while I will do my duties for Lock Up. Never really had anything against, but as you figure, and I figure, someone is going to get their ass kicked, and obvious I think you will before me. Just business.

He looks around, and sees Brandon Payne?

Thought that I'd never see you again. Well at least not this season in a wrestling ring, but guess you never know who does what these days. Looks like we are on the same die this time around? Kind of weird isn't it? Two rivals? Hell three rivals all on one squad!

Neither one in some respect have seen eye to eye, but I am willing for the fate, and pride of Lock Up to put that shit aside for later on tonight when this goes forward just so that Mayhem falls beneath our feet. Basically showing why Lock Up has been the example of what a brand should be in, and outside of the ring. Not just talking about it, and getting slaughtered for it when they can't back it up. More of the lines of talking the talk, and walking the walk.

He then looks at Avenger.

Avenger. Basically same thing here. Never seen ya eye to eye, but it doesn't matter really. As long as we come out on top. That's the only thing matters here.

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

Will somebody please get this man some english lessons! Seriously, your vocabulary is as broken as the trash talk you think you can mumble out to get a pop from these fans. Since when did I have the balls? I'm sorry, I've spent my career asking everyone to man up and back up their words, and nobody has done that except Avenger there. And about the injury, you go ask the doctors in the back about how they all took a bump better then you when they tried to stop me from competing. Ofcourse seeing is believing though right? Hence the video that was shown during the damn show. Then we had MG come out and confirm it was him...

But no, I made all that shit up right? The only made up here is the make believe fairytale your believing is your career. A myth that piece of shit talents fear because they can't "man up" and take you on themselves. So they leave it to talent, big time talent, better than you talent, namely me, to shut you up. And you wanna speak about how your the so called best of the best here in this company. It's bullshit, just like your so called talent. Who have you beaten? Who? A bunch of LockUp curtain jerking jobbers who couldn't get the job done if it was 99.9% done for them.

A LOCKUP SUCKS chant breaks out from MayheM supporters

And for someone who preaches about being the best, you sure did sit idly by and never once come looking for a fight from me. Now I know you'll sit there and say that I didn't come find you either, well the fact is, the top talent are the ones who are hounded for the matches by the lesser talent. Aching to prove themselves with a win over the experienced and talented. So why would I waste my time on you? I already know I'm above and beyond what your tainted career can amount to be. I could retire right here, right now, and still have more accolades and stories of respect and triumph told about me, then you will if you continued in this industry for another 10 years.

The difference between guys like you, and guys like me is this. You guys always talk about it, while I've always been about it. Don;t believe me, go ask the 60 other lumps of flesh I've put down for the count, stood over and thought to myself "What a waste of time". Because you guys treat this as a game. I treat it like a war, a war I've been fighting for 3 years now, and the losses, are like bullets, grenades and bombs aimed at me, that have missed their target. Seven times I've been hit, or beaten, but in the end, I'm the one still standing, still walking onto the battlefield unscarred, unscathed, and ready to continue on. Your just the guy who dishes out the food, hiding in a tent away from the trouble. Coming out, only when you have to, and lucking out with a few shots that connect. But you've never connected on me, and you never will.

Oh, and heres my smiley face right back at you.

He gives him a sarcastic grin as the crowd splits in support between the men
