Well Damn... (Challenge O2A)

[Jacob Cruise]

"I'm gettin'
I'm gettin'
I'm gettin'

I'm gettin' over
and pushing past all the bullshit....."

The arena lighting dims as this oh so familiar theme begins to play over the sound system. The fans on their feet roaring with excitement to see if this is who they truly believe it to be. And not being one to disappoint, from behind the backstage curtain emerges one Jacob Cruise.

A Mic firmly grasped in his left hand, Cruise slowly makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. The steel steps being his means of entrance, Cruise now stands center ring. A devious smirk across his rockstar-esque face. Slowly, he raises the Mic to a mere few inches from his lips...

"Posers...hosers...freaks....geeks...beggars, choosers, winners losers...Every damn one of you out there in the audience tonight! From the cheap seats in the nose bleed to the V.I.P pass wearing S.O.B's up front here....I have one simple thing to say to you all......It....is....good. Good to be back in the center of this ring!"

The crowd roars with approval for Cruise's return speech. Though with Cruise's 'do as he wants, when he wants' attitude, who really knows just how long their joy for his return will last.

"Now, I have a bit of a bone to pick tonight...I know, I know. Just returned and some nobody little bastard has already pissed me off. That of course being none other than..."

Cruise reaches into his jean pockets and removes a small, folded piece of notebook paper. Holding it infront of him...He reads...

"Brent...Sterr!....Oh!, thats an 'A'....sorry. Brent Starr. Yeah, whoever the hell that is..."

The crowd is a mixed reaction. Some laugh at Cruise's obviously feign ignorance of whom Starr is. Others boo his neglect to acknowledge a supertar of Starr's caliber.

"You see....Theres this new guy...Haven. You probably know him better than you do Starr considering that his little noob promo he dropped awhile ago was...well honestly...better than that pathetic acceptance rant that Starr came out with. I mean, he complains that the new kind is saying the same shit as every other new guy? Well news flash Starr....Your saying the same ole' shit that everyone accepting a 'new guys' challenge says. Kinda' the pot calling the kettle black there huh?"

Cruise begins to pace around the ring, making the whole thing seem a bit edgier and more exciting...

"Anyways...Long story short...I was PLANNING on accepting Haven's challenge...Starr beat me to the punch...So I'm out here whining about it...But now thats out of the way....I guess its time for me to pose a challenge of my own. Thats right...Your GAAAAWD is returning to the ring TONIGHT! So, who will be my first victim?"

Cruise lowers his Mic and rests his back against the farthest ropes from the ramp-way. Awaiting an acceptance from somebody...

[Angel Fyre]

Comatose by Skillet plays and the fans know who this is. There was word he was not returning tonight but in Hollywood at his movie premiere. But Angel comes out of the curtain with a mic in his hand as he stands on the stage area. He mocks the crowd as he rubs his chin and he looks at Cruise as he knows it is time to do what is right.

Well what do we got here? Another returning guy thinking the world has missed ya? Matter of fact who are ya to begin with? You see JC the problem isn't that you think you are this "GAWD" of wrestling but you think you are a wrestler period. Now I know most of you were thinking why are you even here tonight? Aren't you supposed to be in Hollywood collecting coin for your new and hot movie? Well that is true but you see being the star that I am, my movie production team flew me back and what do you know I am here right now and in your face.

Angel clears his throat as he sees the crowd and then his attention goes back to Cruise.

You see JC you got your priorities in the wrong place. First of all, you say you come back and you want to wrestle some noob as you say or some rook? What are you trying to do and get an easy victory or something? Then you call out Brent Starr thinking he may get in the ring with ya. Don't wanna lie maybe that can take place later or something but tonight you got me. You open your mouth and now you got me to worry with. So tonight Mr. Wrestling you and me in this ring. And I can almost be sure you got some hatred for me so getting you in this ring won't be hard at all now will it?

Just remember my little friend and that is when you get in the ring come with what you speak. Because tonight, I plan on making you a victim. Tonight will be the night that me, Angel Fyre, shows the world and you of course that you are not as good as your words pronounce and pal you should of stayed where you come from and that is your mom's basement. Heck when I heard that you came back I thought where did you come from to begin with? But that doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is where I am going to send you and that is on your back looking at the lights. So get ready JC because tonight we get to see if the checks you are cashing can cover. So what do you say "GAWD"? You got what it takes to get in the ring or is all of that just hot air?

[Jacob Cruise]

Your....gonna make me a victim? A victim eh? Thats it! That is it! I just remembered where I had seen you before. On the television. Thats right! You were all over the t.v. and on the INTERNET. Man, your like famous! I can't believe it took me this long to remember who you were. Damn, you were the guy that was.....all over the news for molesting those children! Damn man, I'm surprised you can even show your face here. But ya know...its cool. Because you see...unlike those poor male youths, I will fight back. And I will...I damn sure will...kick your sorry ass two ways from Tuesday! I don't really know what that means...But it sounds damn cool, right?

The fans seem to agree with Jacob as they cheer and urge him on to accept the challenge.

Now Mr......what is it? How do you pronounce that? Was someone in your family half retarded or something and didn't know how to spell fire? Or were you just TRYING to be cool and threw the 'y' in to replace the 'i' cuz' you thought it made you seem fuggin' awesome? Well sorry to tell ya' man, their ain't much that can be done to make your sorry ass appear....awesome.

Cruise now approaches the ropes nearest to the rampway and leans over them, somewhat taunting Fyre.

"Now that Haven guy...I wanted to fight him because he was a half decent noob that I wanted to teach the ropes. Starr, I wanted to fight because he's a big name A-lister who is worthy of my time. But you...you Mr.Fyre....you I will fight because I just want to whoop your sorry ass. Plain and simple. Ya know, this match will be a bit of redemption for me...Your not the first actor I've ever fought. Oh no, I remember in the early days of my career stepping into the ring with a one Mr.Pornstar. And yes....yes, I did lose that match. But ya' know what, Buck was not only a great actor....I own all his films....but also a pretty damn good wrestler. Whereas you...Well, I think your far from the next big thing. In ring or on the silver screen. So this is how its gonna go down....you....me....normal match....tonight! You down with that?"

With a devious smirk on his face, Cruise lowers his Mic and awaits a response from Angel.

[Angel Fyre]

Angel gives a sarcastic grin as he panels to look at the crowd and then his attention goes back to Cruise.

You know something JC it is all about what you can do in the ring and you know what? I just don't think you got it in ya to make this comeback. I mean who are you anyway? Wayne Gretzky? Michael Jordon? Tiger Woods? Heck I wouldn't even compare you to those guys you are more like the Brooklyn Brawler in my book. Someone that thinks he is big time but all in all is just another jabroni from the block.

Now you want to comment on your own little fantasies all you want to JC but why should I go down the road you go when I got the hottest woman in the world on my arm. Now if you want to hang out at Neverland with Michael then I say go after whatever floats your boat but for me I am the luckiest man in the world. But maybe you can write a book about that one day and tell us all your little secrets if that is your desire. But tonight it is going to be you and me in this ring in a 1 on 1 match. Go ahead and get ready for that but don't worry so much about those other two cats. It's going to be you and me tonight.

Angel begins a pose down before continuing

You see this body little man? This is why I am who I say I am. That is why I am the biggest film star in the world and the reason why tonight you will can't run or even hide for that matter. So JC go visualize or whatever it is that you do to get ready. But at the end of the day, it will be me that moves on to the PPV with aspirations of greater things while you my little friend will but just licking your wounds wondering why did I ever come back and open my big mouth. See ya tonight JC.

[Haven]

As he makes his way to the locker after showering to prepare for tonights fight with Starr, Haven hears the mention not once, not twice, but three times of his name from the moniter

"......Cruise."

Haven says, making a mental note of his name, he smirks and then continues getting ready for tonights match.

[Jacob Cruise]

Cruise can't help but to allow a couple snippets of laughter to escape the inner confines of his throat as Angel does his little 'pose down'.

Ya' know AF....I think this might actually be a little fun. Especially when I lock in the world famous...Cruise Control....and you tap out frantically as tears roll down your cheeks. Ah, the many good times that has brought me in the past...I can only look forward to seeing that look of agony on opponents face again soon....And who knows...you may just be the first lucky one to show that to me.

With those words spoken, Cruise slides out of the ring and approaches the barricade.

Get ready AF....get ready.

With that, Cruise drops his Mic and hops the barricade. Security escorting him through the audience as he exits the arena area...
