Post by Chris Lionheart on May 30, 2007 5:29:18 GMT -5
Chris Lionheart walks into the main XWA locker room and is immediatly bombarded by former TNB wrestlers who all want to know what's going on. There are those that were annoyed when TNB closed down, like Chris Steel and Nitemare. There are those that wear their TNB pride literally on their sleeve, like Enrique. And there are those who ask if TNB is coming back. A question that seems more logical as time goes on. Especially after the1xwa.net's newest headline:  So, everyone wants to know what's happening with TNB, right? Well, as that news piece correctly states, I'm currently looking for a TV deal. One of the reasons I took TNB off of Turner's networks, where it'd remained after the corparate name-change from WCW, was because I wanted us to have our own identity. I'm hopefull to ink a TV deal, but failing that, I've also go my feelers out there to see if we can get a monthly PayPerView distrubution deal too.
As you all know, the majority of you are currently getting two pay packets. One from XWA, and one from TNB. We still hold open contracts with a lot of XWA-signed talent, and written contracts with some wrestlers who have yet to debut anywhere else. They are currently sat at home collecting a pay check awaiting my phonecall. Of course, there are a few people who've just been trimmed, because they didn't show any passion for the company, or respect for the guys that ran it.
In total, TNB holds contracts with:
Ace
Angel Storm & Shia Storm,
Ash Dixon, Chet Dixon & Christina Dixon,
Brian Williams,
Carson Hallz,
Chris Lionheart,
Chris Steel & Britney Steel,
Enrique & Lisa Marie,
Jason Youngblood,
Jay Wolf,
Kiss Wilmington,
Kratos,
Kyle Nobbs,
Laura Dixon,
Nicole Storm,
Nitemare & Rebecca Swanson,
Pandora,
Serenity,
Shawn Youngblood,
Sumya,
The School Scumbags: Alvin & Butch,
The Tar Pit: Drogo, Mastiff & their manager Ingrid,
Thrush,
Xeon,
... and TNB Legends:
Angel and The AvengerLionheart looks over to Enrique, and taps on his armband. The question is, what do I do with those contracts?
I could, once and for all, close TNB, and have it remain closed. And I'll admit, this was my line of thinking. But the pride and interest I've seen for TNB lately makes me think that this is not the way to go at all.
I could turn those written contracts into open ones, and let those wrestlers show up on XWA television, as XWA wreslers. Thereby letting TNB slip into memory and the anals of time....
I could even have a call to arms, and amass an army for a war. But like I've said before, if this last option is to happen, I want to see a little more passion from each and every one of you. If I see that, then in a month's time or so, we might finally play the invasion from the other side of the fence, as the invaders ourselves.Lionheart takes a look around the former TNB wrestlers gathered around him, especially Genesis. What do you guys think of that? |

Standing there, Genesis holds his right hand up to his chin as he starts to think about the idea of TNB coming back. Then he begins to laugh & say:
Genesis - Hehe, funny man you are Lionheart. You look at me for my opinion and yet I'm not even on the roster list cause I didn't show any "passion or respect" for the company ? Well, I do understand to a degree. I mean, up til here recently at MayDay. Me and you were at each other's throats over petty stuff. So I guess in a way. I do understand me not being on the official roster list...
But since we are on the same page and have mutual respect for one another. I don't know if I can go through it. But then again, on the other hand. The New Blood Wrestling did make Genesis ! If there was no TNB Wrestling. If there was no Chris Lionheart, no Avenger, no Maniac, no Chris Steel, & no Angel. Genesis would cease to even exist !
Truth is, I have no problems with anybody on the roster at all. I can't say that I trust everybody on it but I do respect everyone and I'm even friends with a couple of them. Including yourself Lionheart. So with that in mind I'd have to say....YES ! I'm all for it ! Count me in !

After Genesis had completed his words Carson took a step forward and wanted to put his input in.
The New Blood Wrestling was a great wrestling business. I was checking it out on-line and I really like how it worked and that was the reason why I signed a contract with them. Now I don't know what it truly feels like to be apart of the TNB. I mean I was only there for about a month or two. I don't know how it feels to main event in a TNB ring. To tell you the truth I've only actually talked to about five people on that roster. But I have to say that I've wanted to actually be apart of the TNB "family." This is the reason why whatever you need help with, I'm here to help y'all. So you can count me in. I am apart of the XWA roster but I'm willing to help out with the TNB.

Brian Williams decides to throw his thoughts into the conversation.
Well I was only in TNB for a few months and I felt at home.I'm XWA but I've got no ill feelings at all and I would welcome a comeback from TNB as they gave me my first shot in this business so you can count me in.I'll do whatever I can for TNB, just say the word and I'll be there.

*Angel steps the only female in the room as the former TNB star. She has something to say. Since her husband isn't in the room, she'll speak on hers and his behalf.*
Hello, Lionheart. We have never spoke, but I have seen you over my career at WCW, and TNB. I have seen you here now in XWA where I lay. I'm hereing that you want to do some kind invasion? No offense, but me, and my husband aren't into invasions as we aren't looking to take that route, and be the outsiders of the company that's seem like we are trying to kill the company that everybody is in. Now, we do apprieciate everything that TNB has done for us, but now that we are in XWA, our focus is a bit different then others. For example, my focus is becoming the next Diamond champion, and staying the Diamond champion, and going through every superstar that they have here to prove a point! My husband has similar goals, and show the world what they got into when they stepped into the ring with Shia Storm. I have seen people who were the "outsiders", and they came out looking very bad because of it. I don't want that happening to TNB, and that's why I can't be apart of the "outsider" invasion. I hope you understand Lionheart on The Storms decision.
*With that said, Angel Storm heads out the room*

Ace sits in the back keeping to himself as Liono talks about TNB. He also, hears Maniac mentioned. Even in a company he had never been in, Maniac was considered a great by a lot of people. He sits back and thinks before speaking, much unlike his brother.
To let TNB just die out would be a mistake. TNB was did great things in it's time. To let it be forgotten by younger people is something TNB doesn't deserve. On the other, hand as I've heard, people invading TNB never fared well. This means one of two things. Either TNB is truly that great or invasions will never go well for the invaders without luck.
Also, so far as far as I can tell, former alumni have not been screwed by the XWA refs or staff. So until then I would say that we keep our noses clean. There's no reason to tarnish TNB name with us firing a shot unprovoked. So my vote is let's carry TNB name proudly but let's not jump the gun and declare war on XWA for no clear reason. It's not about who provoked who but who fired the first shot.

Enrique standing there next to Lionheart, looks around at the others as they speak there minds. He thinks threw, what Ace said, it can be some matter of truth right there, but can he let that stop him.
Well, I guess I should come in and say what I have to say. We are TNB and yes we closed down and maybe most of you that haven’t said anything has different opinions, and don’t want to share but its alright. Me and Lionheart are open for anything and for those thinking, “who made Enrique a leader?” just be aware that I am the only one here willing to go alone against anyone for TNB, so take that as an Example and for those that have questions of doubt just remember that TNB has a guaranteed main event at the X-Games so if ya want to see who is doing the take over? Remember that its me.
So Lionheart in front of all these people I would like to say…. Thanks, thanks for opening TNB, thanks for closing it, and thanks for the hand here in XWA.
Enrique looks at TNB members and then starts to walk towards a wall then leans on it.

Mari happens to be in the vicinity of this conversation and decides to step in and see what is going on?
Excuse me? Am I hearing this correctly? My hearing must be a little busted, but did I hear you say something about TNB making a comeback or even some kind of "Invasion"? Why in the heck would you do such a foolish thing as bite the hand that feeds you?

Genesis snickers at Mari & says:
Genesis - Well even so, if TNB does invade XWA. Think about the ratings the company will get. I mean, think about what this will do for wrestling ! The way I see it. The New Blood Wrestling just isn't another wrestling company. Its one big happy, and sometimes dysfunctional family. And if the call is made to invade XWA. Then just like every company TNB has laid to rest. XWA will join the long list of other companies that had tried to bury TNB and failed. I'm gonna help lead the pack to victory and I will do whatever means necessary to take down anybody that stands in my way or in TNB's way to victory !
And one other thing. Its XWA that outta be thanking TNB Wrestling. Not just me, but every TNB Alumni in this room help revolutionize wrestling and made as popular as it is today. So in other words. In so many ways. If hadn't been for TNB. There wouldn't be an XWA or any other company for that matter. So my message to XWA, speaking as a proud TNB Original. You and XWA better watch your mouths or will take "our hand" and slap you across the face with it ! Cause its one thing to be fed, and its quite another to get bitch slapped !
Genesis turns his back on Mari and walks away as paces himself back and forth trying to calm himself down after getting all fired up.

Hmph...the only ones I see taking hands here are you all, riding the coat-tails of this company to give you the worldwide stage that you have right at this point. TNB might have done a lot, but you didn't revolutionalize anything like you claim to, TNB isn't the reason I'm in this business, and it's not the reason that the XWA is here, or any place else for that matter, so get over yourselves.
You know, I would welcome the fact that you are actually willing to do something so incredibly stupid. This is no other fed, you see...this is the XWA, destined for greatness...with or WITHOUT you. Think about that when those checks aren't rolling anymore and you all get canned for messing with people who you shouldn't be.
Why am I even bothering? Hey, it's your careers, ruin them as you see fit...

After hearing those last remarks by Mari. Genesis leans up with his back against the wall and looks over at Mari & the rest of the TNB crew and says:
Genesis - Normally I wouldn't ask for anybodies help but will somebody please shut her up before I do something that I might even regret. Its wrong for a man to lay a hand on a woman. But with you I might make an exception.[/b]
Genesis smashes his right hand up against the wall as yells out of frustration.
Genesis - Now I'm pissed ! Next person that walks over here and even gets near me is gonna get it.
Some of the TNB Alumni's walk over and talk to Gen. as they try there best to calm him down so he doesn't get out of line and get suspended.

Brian Williams walks over to Genesis and stands beside him.He pats him on the back and then begins to speak.
I'm with Genesis, Enrique and Lionheart on this one.Like Genesis said, just think about what this will do for this business.The ratings will go off the charts for something like this.
He looks over at Enrique and Lionheart
Guys, if you want to go through with this, like I said before just give the word and I'll be there, I've got your backs.That goes for anyone here from TNB, they gave me my first chance in this business and as someone once told me never forget where you came from.Well TNB made Brian Williams and I'm not just going to forget that and if TNB needs me I'll be there.

Jasta had stood by and watched this madness long enough. And the words of Genesis didn't do anything but fuel is agitation even more. He decides to join in the frey.
The most I see at this present moment is a group of men who have all intents to essentially commit career suicide. Look at you. 5...maybe 6 deep. Where as "XWA" numbers in the hundreds. You fools really want to fight a battle you know in you hearts you have NO CHANCE of winning? Please. Not even YOU'RE that naive. As much as I'd enjoy seeing each and everyone of you obliterated, ESPECIALLY you, Lionheart and Genesis. So called "icons". I have to say that if you go through with this, you're pretty much sealing your fates. But who am I to argue the mechinations of fools.

On his way past the crowd, Si can't help but to hear the conversation, and the trash being spewed by Genesis. He stops dead in his tracks, backs up, and stands next to Jasta saying:
Ayo...Did I just hear somebody sellin' woof tickets?

Mari sarcastically puts her hand to her lips as if to be shocked and scared...
No please, I didn't mean to upset you, oh great "King". Let me kiss your feet to appease my sins. Right...
Here's a reality check, boys and girl. Not everyone worships the ground you walk on, you have men and women here who are trying their damnest to make an honest living entertaining the fans and making this promotion the greatest in the world, better than anything that has ever come and gone, better than TNB, better than Toronto, Detroit OR Ohio, better even than that LXW place I've heard so much about.
We all have how you say...our heads in the game, maybe you should join up and join in...you know, after you get your heads out of your asses. I know that you must be smarter than you're all letting on, prove it. Or...continue to plot your little coup. Whatever floats your boat...
Shaking her head, Mari continues on her way.
