The shining light (Jyndal)

[Jon Pryor]

Backstage, the cameras roll Jon Pryor heading down the MayheM hallways of his home show. The GCW Championship is draped over his shoulder, sunglasses over his eyes help conceal the bandage left from Ascension.

"Graciela, lookee here! It looks like our champ has decided to bless us for MayheM instead of waiting for his home show!"

"John... you're ridiculous. He's not even dressed to compete!"

"Hey... excuse me if I'm apparently one of the few that can respect our champ enough to appreciate every time he decides to grace our shows, instead of having blind hatred for him every...

"John.... just shut up."

He wouldn't speak another word, because the opening beats of "Save Yourself" started playing. Sans the wall of flame that normally erupts during Jon's song, he walks out to the stage. He stops at the top of the stage, taking off his sunglasses and folding them, clipping them to the pocket of his jacket. He pats the glistening gold championship on his shoulder, before heading to the ring. Once through the ropes, he gets the microphone from the announcer.

"I stand before you... STILL GCW World Champion! And there isn't much that you, or anybody in the back can do about it!

Lets go over some history, shall we? Jin Remmy, thought he had it all figured out. Thought he got to me. Thought he broke me down, and made me easy pickings. There's only one thing that I must ask now that the cards are down and the chips fell where they may...

Where is Jin Remmy now?

Oh, that's right... he fell right into place. He went through, playing his game, letting his ego cloud his eyes... only for me to make them water by a high knee straight to his nose. It's all fine, though... because that masked his TEARS when I stole his opportunity at victory, and pinned Jyndal to retain MY GCW World Championship!"

He raised his championship high over his head, before dropping it back to his shoulder, continuing... "See, as much as you see the Jon Pryor of old... you're also bearing witness to the Jon Pryor of new. The man that gives half a damn of what you all think... and even less of that for those in the back and whatever they think or plan or dream. I am the best damn asset this company can dream of having, and I showcase it not only every time I lace up those boots and defend my title, but every time I step out for this company PERIOD.

So, then, that leaves me to this. Who's plans, hopes and dreams do I shatter this time? Who haven't I broken into an uncontrollable mess? Does Jyndal pick up the pieces of getting his ass absolutely handed to him at Ascension? Some "Ultra-Legend" that think they have a superior spot just because of some other place think they deserve a shot? Or, hell, how about the guy scrubbing the floors in the back? Surely somebody back there thinks that they're like Ol' Jin Remmy and think they know me. They get me... they can beat me. Come on out here, so I can expose you for the lie that you really are!"

[jj]

Ladies And Gentlemen, The World Champion Jon Pryor!

Fans look at the entrance way oddly as Jyndal walks out clapping with the mic tucked under his arm... Until he stops afew moments later and looks down the entrance way and into the ring at Pryor through his signature sunglasses.

I mean really, this guy deserves a hand... Like he said he is the most valuable asset to GCW.... And he did beat me and Jin Remmy, highway robbery, but still got the win. He also is bringing prestige back to the title apparently... So why boo a man so great???

Jack looks on as boos ring out from the audience in a chorus of hatred for the champion...

I’ll tell you why.... Because Jon Pryor may be more than a transitional champion, but does he deserve it? Not by any means... Eventhough I didn’t see eye to eye with him some of the time, well actually all of the time, Jin Remmy, busted his tail all last season to get to where he was. Facing off against truly worthy competitors.... Only to lose to vermin like you... You know who else has basically the exact same predicament? Yours truly.... See in case you didn’t realize, me and Pryor go back awhile, all the way back to Detroit. Where I was just making a name for myself by giving it my all week in, week out. Pryor comes into the picture because he was one of the people who gave me the push to the world title... Which was a memory I’ll never forget so thank you. But THAT Pryor is not the Pryor you see today, or maybe I was just to wet behind my ears to realize how much of a disrespectful inconsiderate piece a dog sh*t!

Fans began to chant “PRY-OR SU-UCKS CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAPCLAP!” as Jyndal expresses his feelings towards the champion...

But then you died what was it twice? Who cares? You come to GCW disguised as some cross between a power ranger and some Japanese cartoon character and pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. Well you know what Jon, I knew that if you won the title GCW would suffer, and it has, Jin Remmy is gone, the ratings are down because nobody wants to see your face on their monitors, and you’re the most valuable asset to GCW?! Two letters Pryor... BS! And that is why I am OFFICIALLY challenging you for the world title. Just me and you, c’mon, what do you have to lose? I meen if you are so all mighty then you should have no problem defending against me.... right?

Jack lowers the mic and stares at Pryor from the stage while the fans cheer and support Jyndal’s challenge

[Jon Pryor]

"Thank you for the little history lesson there, Jack. But first..." Jon raises one finger as he paces the ring... "Howzabout I correct you on a few small facts... mmkay? Lesson number one: To tell me that I don't belong in the main stage is a travesty, and to tell me that I don't deserve this belt that I not only earned by beating three men in succession, but also by retaining it over another two int he same match is ludicrous. Jon Pryor's been around for quite some time, and Jon Pryor has been doing exactly as he did at Ascension and Absolution. Winning gold. Standing high above those of you that are there to just boost me up. Deal with it. I'm champ. You're not, and Remmy's not.

Secondly, There's only so much that Jon Pryor can do for the ratings, the prestige of the company. The ratings of the company. It's amusing that you'll come to point the finger at me for downed ratings, when you should really be pointing them at your peers that can't draw for shit, or even stay on the roster to bring their ans here. Oh, and it's not a "go sign elsewhere" type of deal... its a disappearance from the face of the wrestling earth. I'd go and bring up your beef with them, instead of coming after the hard working champion that is here on every show, with this belt in tow, telling the rest of the roster to come and get it.

Which... I'd be hard pressed to see who would man up to step up. Something to commend you on, it is. But see Jack... while I have no problem defending against you... what you're going to have to sit back and ask yourself is this:

What problems are you going to have when you lose to me? Again? Is it going to be all heartbreak and tears with a trip out the door? Or are you actually going to be one of those guys that gets your ass off the ground, dusts yourself off, and gets back to work? I'm sure that time will tell, since I can't predict just what you're going to do. I can only predict what I'm going to do... and that is to retain this championship. If the ship's going to go down... you may as well have your best man be the captain, right?"

[jj]

Jack snickers a little, then paces infront of Pryor for a moment before raising the mic once again...

Okay "Lord" Pryor, I liked what ya did there, comparing my title hopes to a sinking ship... Good one, did you come up with that one yourself. But in all seriousness. Let's cut to the chase shall we... We both are smart individuals, we both have a mind for wrestling, so I know and you know that you aren't gonna be putting your title on the line tonight at a non-pay per view event, I know you, it just wont happen...

Boos ring out loud as Jack breaks the unfortunate news...

I know I know, look at him though... BUT, this leaves us with a question to solve, what will we do tonight? A non title match? a tag match? a hardcore match? Well I'm still pretty banged up from Accension so maybe not the last one... So Jon, I'm gonna leave this one up to you, any match type, any stipulation, caphiche?... Oh and one more thing Jon... If You Didn't Catch That, You Don't Know Jack Shit!

The crowd sais the catchphrase along with Jack as he stares Pryor down from the stage, before dropping his mic and slowly backing up as Impossible by Manafest begins to play... Until the music cuts and....
