Me...Lose?! (1st Starr/O2A)

[Haven]

The match had been decided; destiny it seems, would have to wait for Haven. In a battle in which the "Wrestling Rockstar" was to claim dominance of MayheM, and GCW as a whole, his dominance would be temporarily sidetracked.

Haven, having had his forehead busted during Starr's finisher, stumbled out of the ring, and pushed medical personnel away as he made his way into the back.

A decent while later, and now sitting up on a stool, Haven is having the finishing touches stitched on his forehead when in comes GCW's Backstage Correspondant, Graciela.


"Excuse me, Haven? Graciela here; I'd like to know if we could have a few words with you?"


Slowly looking up, Haven gives Graciela a quick up and down before finally speaking...


"Haven will allow it this time. Ask away."


"Sure. Haven, seeing as you stepped into GCW with a rather boastful speech and challenge, then subsequently lost to Brent Starr; how do feel about your promise to change things in GCW now?"

Haven now putting his hand up to the medical attendant, telling him to hold, addresses Graciela...


"How do I feel? Are you kidding me?! You can't seriously be this dense. I feel several different things about tonights events...

1. I didn't make a "boastful" speech, I simply enlightened the many fools here in GCW, as well as your audience as a whole.

2. I didn't "lose" a damn thing. Starr used illegal tactics several times throughout this match, including his raking of my eyes which blinded me, and gave him the upper hand. No, I didn't "lose", the referee cheated me. Hell, he cheated the people out of who should've been their rightful winner. Me.

3. As far as my promise to change things, you of all people should understand this; the way things are going now, it makes GCW look like a second rate wrestling federation. What with the illegal moves that refs seemingly ignore, and the "fixed" matches between your title holders, I'm just trying to do what you do when you branch away from your obviously annoying fellow commentator Graciela; save this program from itself.

Yes, my change is still coming, but it'll have to be put on hold for now as I have another challenge: Starr, if you're watching this now, I ask you to stop brushing your little porkchops, and bring your ass into the medical bay. We...no, Haven isn't finished yet."

[Devin Matthews]

Uh, yeah Devin Matthews, GCW.com. The journalistic heavy artillery.

He said from behind his own camera as the logo flashed.

A GCW Exlcusive

Great, you going to screw up and call him Heaven or something?

No.

He tears up some notecards and throws them behind him.

Anyway, Haven, four part follow-up to what was technically a four part statement.

1. Since your first promo wasn't boastful, would you like to pass on any boasts now over the intertubes here to Brent Starr going into a return match?
2.When do you think the referees' conspiracy against you started?
3. Aren't eye pokes easy to defend against, or did the Three Stooges lie to me?
4.Do you want to give us another exclusive and let us know if can Brent Starr expect some sort of ambush in the infirmary?

He holds the camera forward a little to pick up the sound, completely unaware with problems with everything he just asked.

[Haven]

Haven, fully expecting Starr to walk through the doors is angered to see this Matthews loser. Haven turning past Graciela, looks at Matthews with an almost look of disgust when he hears his questions, then decides to answer him...

"Hollywood has a better question; who the hell let you in here and why should Haven answer anything you've asked?"

"Well...."

Before Devin Matthews can answer, Haven puts his hand up, stopping him mid sentence

"Shut it. Tell you what, Haven will entertain these idiotic questions with a response this time.

Firstly, stars such as myself don't make "boasts", we make results. I was denied a fair match, so this result will have to wait for now. What happened tonight was a mockery of wrestling, and Brent Starr knows it.

Secondly, these "referees" as you like to think of them as, shouldn't actually have such a title. They were just as jealous of me as the rest of GCW's roster when I showed up. Starr included.

Besides, how old was the fart that ref'd my match anyway? Sixty two? Shouldn't his decrepit ass have been in a retirement home by all means? He likely couldn't see well without his glasses, thus not seeing what "Mr. Porkchops" did.

Third, when was the last time you've been in a wrestling match with an almost three hundred pounder, let alone a fight in general?
Flabby boy, you wouldn't ask such stupid and asinine questions if you'd actually had a fight in which you've been banged across your head so many times that bodies become blurs.

Pro Tip: Stick with this internet "show" of yours, you suck at it, but at least it fits with your looks and intelligence.

Oh, and why in the blue hell would Haven tell every idiot who watches this..."show" what his plans of attack are? You really are as dumb as you look."

Turning toward the camera, and pulling his shades up, Haven says his final words for the broadcast.

"Know this Starr, this thing between you and me is far from over. You've come between my destiny, and NO ONE does that to Haven. No one."

Haven pushes Matthews aside, and leaves the medical bay.

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

(ooc: sorry, meant to reply to this lastnight when I was posting as other characters)

As haven is leaving the infirmary, Starr was just hearing the words inviting him back, and proclaiming his tactics as dirty. He manages to catch Haven in the nick of time.

Well Haven, seems you couldn't take the loss standing. You had to, basicly, lay on your back like a kid in the cereal aisle, throwing a tantrum cause he can't get his cocoa puffs. So whats the matter? Couldn't take a few eye rakes? It's part of the game, superstar.

You can't tell me you wouldn't have done the same, because you did. This is wrestling, not hopscotch or tiddly winks. If you can't take a finger to the eye, then you can't hang in the big leagues. This is a cut throat business, win at any, and all costs. You know yourself, there will come a time your going to have to resort to likewise tactics for a win. The question then will be, do you accept it, live with it, and move on. Or do you go to the record books and scratch out your win, siting an eye gouge as your winning factor?

He reaches to put a hand on the mans shoulder, but pulls back. He's not completely familiar with the man, so he doesn't know what to expect as retaliation.

I'll tell you what though, if you want a rematch, over a few pokes to the eyes, you can have it. Just know that our first encounter, I took it easy on you. Sure, I nearly took your head off a few times with those clotheslines, and ya, the impact of your forehead landing on my shoulder EXPLODED your head and face into a gush of blood, like a fruit burst gusher.

I also didn't give you the proper pwndozer welcome. I usually rip apart a person from top to bottom, their gimmick, their look, their speech, everything, until the only shred of credibility they have left, is dangling on the result of the match, and even then, few manage to walk away with that shred. But sure, I drop it all for you. Give you the benefit of the doubt. Let you play the savior card and claim to be a rock star.

So Mr Rock star. If you want it, you got it, all you gotta do is say it. You want a second heaping helping of humble pie, or should I again, give you the benefit of the doubt, and walk away, finding some other piece of garbage talent to fight on LockUp this week?

He stands there, looking at the man, trying to figure him out. What was going to be the result of this encounter. He said he had unfinished business, but never said anything about a match.

[Haven]

Haven's eyebrows go up as he sees the man he was looking for. After carefully listening and processing Starr's words, Haven takes a step forward, removing his Moss Lipow sunglasses, then stares dead into Starr's face. Haven then replies with...

"You finished? Good....Haven never speaks without a backup plan Starr. In the very rare case that Haven would lose, in the very rare case that he'd meet an individual daring enough to enter that ring with him, in the very off chance that he'd meet someone who uses tactics as dirty as he himself would and has used.............he'd form an alliance with that same individual."

Haven, pausing for a minute, and looking away for second, raises his head again, then also replies with...

"You have in a sense, changed the course of my destiny for the time being, and Haven fully intends to see it to it's end....

So Starr, consider our match as my moment of clarity, in that I now realize that with Haven's genius, charm, star quality, tactics, and passion for glory, and your power, need for destruction and brutality.......we could own Mayh....NO!.....We can run the whole damn show."

Haven, now smirking, waits for Starr's reply

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

Run the whole damn show?

He smirks before continuing

Up till this point, I WAS the whole damn show. To be exact, up until now, I've seen guys come in, trying to play the part of rebel without a cause, doing their best to parallel their career to mine. Trying to capitalize on what got me, to where I am, but you, you take the cake.

By that I mean.. you've got to be the closest I've seen anyone get. That's not a bad thing though, that's a good thing. Just means that GCW has 2 guys to worry about, instead of one. I like that, I like it a lot. You got yourself a deal.. I'll run with ya, cause some shit, stir the pot, and make GCW hell for EVERYONE ELSE! At the same time, reaping in the wins, money, gold, and status!

[Devin Matthews]

Meanwhile, off to the side Devin turns the camera on himself for a little play by play.

Oh that's right, other media outlets. You didn't get Starr'd you just got SCOOP'D. AGAIN!

By me, Devin Matthews.

Ladies and gentlemen, I smell tag team here one more story you're only going to find right here.

He looks nervous and conflicted for a moment then just spits it right out.

You know, I didn't want to, but damn it we're doing this up NPR style!

If you're enjoying the HOTTEST news in GCW. Stuff like post pay per view feeds, exclusives on who's going to be all over your screen in the big money matches, and moments like this one here then don't hesitate. Why don't you drop us some cash. And to be clear I will not spend it on cocaine.

Not that you'd assume that.

Haven, Starr, you want to get in on the ground floor? Get your GCW.com tote bags?

[Haven]

Taking off his shades, Haven looks at Matthews with his eyebrow up.

"Pfft...GCW Tote bag. That's cute."

Haven walks off.
