Title: First you don't succeed Part one
*Previously*
I waited in the shadows as the crowd looked on waiting for who they believed to be the Steel Angel making his entrance. That hype would die out the moment they laid eyes on me, the Dark Archangel, the Reaper of destruction. My opponent would be the returning Connor O'Shannon, who got a nice ovation after being gone for so long. During the bout, he didn't take me lightly and I made him pay for it dearly. It was a much closer battle than I lead myself to believe. In fact my own confidence would be my undoing as Connor locked in the rear naked choke submission move. I wasn’t going to surrender so easily, I would fight to survive but alas, his power proved to be too great even for me. I didn't tap out, instead he had to put me to sleep just to keep me down, I may have lost the match, but boy did I make him work for that win.
Regardless this minor setback didn't set well with me at all; I would redeem myself in a manner of speaking when I stormed into that ring just after Brandon, Chad and Corey were celebrating their victory. Seeing me as a threat to their faction, I had expected them to challenge me right there. To my amazement, both Corey and Brandon actually retreated back to the ramp, leaving poor Chad to fend for himself.
I didn't waste any time, I took the moment and destroyed everyone's favorite "Broski". His body would lie in a crumbled heap on the floor as I stood above him. However my eyes were on the prize which is Brandon's title, that same title that I had a chance to compete for at Pick your Poison. However Robbie's constant whining would cause many of the fans in attendance to vote for him just to shut him up. I would watch backstage as Brandon made short work out of him. Seeing how he defeated Robbie Hart with hardly any effort just made my blood boil. To be fair though, the overrated son of a bitch had what was coming to him. I think the only reason why my half brother puts up with him was because Brenton had faith in the boy. He seemed to have given the guy way too much credit.......and that faith was greatly misplaced indeed. If only I came here just a month earlier, Brenton would have seen the potential that I possess.
But I don't need that false deity's blessings to prove my worth, while I may have lost in my match against Connor, I've shown that I'm no small time punk. I had no excuse for my failure, Connor just happened to be at the right place at the right time, fortune favored him that night. But it will take more than luck to keep me away, this will be the first and last time I will allow myself to lose. I now have a chance to hit it big as I take on one of Upper Limit's solders Chuck Matthews. Much like Connor, this will be a quite the battle, add in the fact that another member of the group is going to be the ref and you have a stacked deck. This wouldn’t be the first time I had to face these kinds of odds, once before I took on Robbie Hart with Syco Angel as the reff. This was before my transformation but I remember it so well, I lost that battle due to the ref being bias against me. This fight will be no different and there is also the chance that the other members of Upper Limit will get involved as well. It's not just Chuck and Carmine that I need to contend with, because I messed up Chad pretty badly, there's no doubt that Corey and Brandon will get some measure of revenge for their comrade in arms. So to make a long story short, I'm a one man army fighting what many consider to be the best that IWF has to offer. No one expects me to win this, hell I'll be lucky if I will be able to crawl away after it's all said and done. What these morons don't know is, I live for this type of thing, the more the merrier I always say. However they are fools to pour all their energy into this fight. They don't understand yet that they are falling into my trap, the feeble attempts of retaliation will slowly but surely bring an end to their reign. A win here will deal a huge blow to Upper Limit's ego and take me one step closer to getting what's always been rightfully mine.
*The Shoot*
As Chuck would say…….Really?
Yes really Brandon, I’m gunning for your title and I’m going into the heart of Upper Limit with guns blazing to do so.
You say that I don’t deserve to be in IWF? Well look who suddenly grew a pair.
Oh McDonald had a club, eh yei eh yei oh.
And in that club he had a slut who became a lesbian.
Ey yeh eh yei hoe!
Not that there is anything wrong with Ashley turning lez but damn; that girl sure gets around doesn’t she?
Oh yeah you noticed my change in attitude lately? I’ve decided that this whole “Gloom and doom” bullshit is just ain’t for me man. People like it when you can crack jokes but I find much funny to crack skulls. Yours to be more precise.
My match with Connor has taught me a few things, one is I should not engaged you guys in the same manner that I’ve done so in the past. I’m way beyond fighting jobbers now and it’s time for me to hit the big leagues. My first REAL challenge in a long long time.
However given the situation, this might as well be cake walk for me.
It’s kinda sad when I should be taking Chuck Matthews seriously when in all honesty I’m not. Why is that you’re wondering? Because lately he hasn’t impressed me. Sure he’s the tag champion with the one and only Jason Hawk. You defended your titles against a gorilla with no brains paired up with a guy who shouldn’t even be on your team because he’s cramping your style. Then you defend against two annoying numbskulls that were better off not coming back to this federation. Then you defend against a sex god and a chief whose only talent is making pancakes! How is anyone supposed to take this tag team seriously?
For a man who talks tough and thinks he’s all hot stuff. You didn’t seem eager to fight me when I got in your face. In fact you left poor Chad to feel my wrath just goes to show how much you really care for him. Hell I don’t even need friends if I got foes like you on my sights.
Well here I am knocking on your door, I’m making myself known. You saying I don’t belong here is an insult. Because that would be saying that Sean Libby, Stygain, even some of the news on the block don’t belong here in this federation. What ever happen to passing the torch? I guess your pride is much bigger than your manhood.
Problem Shark?
Anyways I don’t care if you stacked the deck against me in this fight. I know the best way to take down any kind of stable: Cut off the head and the rest of the body dies. The head of course would be your title which I’m going after. Why should you waste your time fighting me? Because I can put a much better fight than fucking Robbie Hart.
I hope you had your fun and I sure hope you’re enjoying yourself buddy. Because the fun and games will end right here, right now. I will not rest until I get my shot at your title.
As your friend Chuck will soon find out.
