Rebirthed in Blood? (Open 2 Enrique)

[Chris Lionheart]

''My Quest'' hits the speakers as Chris Lionheart walks to the ring, dressed in retro clothing, as he would have appeared in January 2006. His bandanna covers the familliar facepaint, and his trench coat is buttoned up tightly. Slowly, he gets into the ring, takes a microphone from a stagehand, and faces the backstage area.

Don't worry about the retro clothing, the trench coat is needed tonight, and I thought if I was going to show up, I'd do so in style.

Now... I came out here a few months ago, and I screwed over some guy who I was due to bury five feet under, by taking a title belt away from his grasp. It felt pretty cool... so maybe I understand how Ryan Blaze must have felt when he screwed over my former company by pretending he was dead, only to show up in this company with a load of crap to say about me, and my company. I don't understand what his problem was back then, I still don't to this day. 'Cool' or not, I call it a 'bush league' move. But hey, we all make choices, and sometimes they turn out good, other times they turn out bad.

Last time people saw me, I made an open challenge, and Ryan Blaze came out to reply to it. He said that if I accepted his challenge to face me; that he'd take anything back he ever said about me and my federation. He even said that I didn't have to beat him, all I had to do is accept the challenge... I never gave Ryan Blaze an answer, because he gave me a lot to think about that night.

You know... I like Ryan Blaze, he reminds me of me. In the way that even after running me down, he still respects me enough to give me the opportunity to face him, and have him publicly take back his former insults. It reminds me of the sort of 'high stakes' that Sylas Styles and I would put up against one another when we were tear-assing our way through different companies in 2005 and 2006. But Ryan, I'm not looking for your humiliation. In fact, XWA, I've found a new respect for the man, so much that I'm going to give him an extra opportunity.

Not only will I accept his challenge, and face him here tonight, but I'm going to give him the opportunity to be the last XWA.... King of Crimson champion!

Lionheart unbuttons his trench coat, showing off the belt. He then lays it across the ring canvas at his feet.

Chris waits, and gets impatient. Rubbing the old orange and black facepaint into a complete mess, as he paces the ring waiting. Then he picks up the King of Crimson title belt and slings it over his shoulder. Leaning back into the corner turnbuckle, he raises the mic once more.

No Ryan Blaze? That's alright, we'll revisit this one at some point next season. Moving on... I'm not out here for just Ryan Blaze, oh no. I got a guy back there who decided to ram my head off the cold steel of the cage, catapulting himself to new heights here in XWA.
You guys remember Enrique? No? Not a lot of people do, since he's hardly around. And better yet, after taking 'my spot', it was taken from him due to that very same inactivity by XWA management.

I remember Enrique, I remember how we went into that cage match with a mutal respect and friendship, we even had plans for a future tag team. As one of the guys who really stood for TNB when we entered into this company, the very last thing I was worried about in that cage with Mr. Enrique being an opportunist and making me bleed. So tonight, I look to get my revenge against him too. You made me bleed once, lets see if you can do it again, will Enrique accept the match for this King of Crimson title?

I stand alone plays in the PA system and Enrique comes out With the Mic in his right hand and a cast on his left. Few of the fans that remembered him cheered but it was hardly any, he remembers the feeling of standing there in the very spot where he is right now and having more fans, more hype, more Enthusiasm. He walks toward the bottom of the Ramp and looks into the ring where Lionheart stood.

You are here not as my friend but as a Foe.......

He pauses and looks around, then slides into the ring.

You must be asking yourself why am I wearing a Cast right, well let me break it down the reason my leaving was cause I suffered an injury facing not only 1 but 2 guys back to back and not to mention having to face both right after in a TLC. I was hurt and that was final, I left for my well being because one way or another I Needed to have my heath, and you can stay here complaining and say all you want about the WarGames but remember you weren't the only one eliminated in that match, I held my part of putting TNB on top in that PPV by securing a top Spot for THIS my Home town the City of Motherfucking dreams NEW YORK FUCKING CITY.

The Crowd erupts in cheers, chants and applauses.

You see Lionheart I didn't just do TNB the favor of the Main event I also gave these people a chance to see one of there own make it do what he had to do, Until this came.

He points to his cast.

So yeah I won't be representing the WarGames here tonight, but I will be representing New York, I will represent my dreams and thats here tonight I will Accept your challenge for the KoC title and like you said I made you bleed once and I'll do it again if I have to. So even with this cast I'll bear all to show you that Enrique will never Die, and he will never, NEVER back down.

Enrique lowers the mic and looks at lionheart.
