Low Blow (o2A who THINK they can hang)

[ames]

Lil' Wayne's "Famous" sounds over the PA, Signaling the arrival of the one and ONLY Jimmy Ames. He steps out until the stage dressed in street clothes, and seems to soak in the boos raining down on him from the crowd. He makes a B-line to the ring and quickly calls for a mic. Jimmy has something to say...

Here we are, halfway down the pipeline to XgamesI. And there's been plenty of memorable moments since XWA kicked off back in NYC in February. Lost a few people along the way. People who in my honest opinion were just a waste of space in the first place. We've gained a whole lot of folks also. Which I guess would be good, if most of 'em weren't a bunch whiney little bitches who thought they were wed somethin' because they're "popular".

Jimmy pauses, pacing the ring for a bit with a pensive look on his face...

I've been ridin' the XWA train since it kicked off. And I'm all for the bettering of the company. I'm a "team player". But seriously, what the hell is up with all these old LXW cats and these TNB people thinking just because they've done a few things in the past that they're bigger then sliced bread? I've looked around the arena a few times, seem the posters and what not. Seen the marquee outside. Does it say "LXW: Sold Out"? Does it say "TNB Live Tonight"? HELL NO!!! It's says XWA...X....W...A!!! What all of you so called "well known superstars" have done in your past companies, or ARE doing in the so called "competitors" means DICK!!! And I'm sick and tired of seeing it. I'm sick of havin' ta' sit back stage and see Genesis run off at the mouth about how he's "King Of Contraversy". Last I checked the guy who was the REAL holder of that title wrestles down in Florida now. I'm sick of Ryan Zlabe runnin' around with that bull-dagger chick of his Velvet thinking that he's "The next big thing". This comin' from a guy who in his "final" TNB match he got JOBBED by Evan Fate.

Jimmy stops and look dead level into the camera for his next comments...

And I'm SICK people RIDING THE COAT TAILS OF WHAT XWA IS. Some of us have been here since day one. Some of us actually give a damn about what XWA is becoming, because WE'RE the ones who shaped it. You wanna know the reason XWA is DESTROYING the other feds in ratings? Because of US!!! The XWA ORIGINALS!!! If it weren't for us putting it down in this ring. Showing the industry what TRUE talent is, none of you bozos, assclowns and POSERS would even be here. But now you all are, and you try to push you own little agendas on OUR time? In OUR spotlight? NOT HAPPENING!!! Jimmy's sick of the BS. Sick of watching XWA be bastardized by sub-par talent. I may be one of the youngest guys on roster, but I'n bot the stupidest. I see what's going on. These TNB assholes come in. Lionhearts "closes down the shop", they get there bit of popularity up on MY show, then all of a sudden TNB pops back up, and they leave XWA high and dry. NOT A CHANCE. Tonight, I'm putting out the word to PRIMO VALIANTE. Yep you heard me. I know that you've got somethin' brewin in that twisted skull of yours. And if it has somethin' to do with sending those TNB ASSHATS packin' back to Atlanta...I'M ALL IN!!!

Roach: WOW!!! I don't think I've ever seen Ames this fired up. And those are some bold claims he just laid down.

Buzz: They're bold because they're TRUE!!! How about showing some company loyalty, Mike. Jimmy hit it right on the nail. You've heard the rumors flying around of Lionheart trying to "bring back the band".

All of a sudden, another superstar's entrance music sounds over the PA...

[Chris Lionheart]

Chris Lionheart's music hits the speakers, and everyone turns towards the entrance way...

Now Ames, I respect your passion for this business. I respect your pride to be apart of this company. But there are so... many... things... wrong with what you're out here preaching.

First of all, brother, I've been on the board of directors for both LXW and XWA, and I currently own TNB. So you're not the only one who's "been here since day one". I might not have been in front of the camera partaking in matches, but I've been back there having a steady hand in shaping XWA from afar. And... I know what it is to do good business. Don't think for one second that I'm trying to undercut XWA of any money, popularity or talent, because that's not what this is all about. You said that if it weren't for you 'XWA Originals' putting it down in this ring. Showing the industry what TRUE talent is, none of us bozos, assclowns and POSERS would even be here. But now we all are, and we try to push you our little agendas on YOUR time? In YOUR spotlight? Boy... if it wasn't for me personally reccomending this fed then you wouldn't see some of the names you see right now. You wouldn't see Maniac, he'd be content to waste his time in a bingo hall and another full contact federation. You wouldn't see Chris Steel, Shia and Angel Storm, Ace, Velvet, Thrush, Brian Williams... You wouldn't see Nitemare, a previous exclusive elsewhere whom I talked into coming here after TNB closed it's doors, on nothing but a verball agreement.

Secondly, 'Mr. Famous', until you've been to the top of this business, to the main event, to the shiz-ow - you're never really famous. Back in Febuary, XWA was the new kid on the block, TNB had been around for 2 years before I bought it and put it on the shelf. I removed it from the old Turner networks, where it had been from when it was 'WCW'. I did that. Why? Because I felt like after being around for that long, and doing all of the things we've already done, it was time for a major overhaul, a big change, a landscape-changing, earth shatteringly different product all together - But.... but I didn't anticipate this much trouble getting a new TV deal.

So TNB remained on the shelf, and I sent as many guys as I could here, to help XWA out in all departments. And that was the right move for business. I still don't have a TV deal, so I begin looking into aquiring a monthly Pay Per View & DVD distrubution deal. I pay wrestlers' wages from my own pocket. It's a good thing I've acheived so much elsewhere in the past and I can aford to do that - and you say past accomplishments mean nothing. When I came into the XWA locker room to address XWA wrestlers whom are also getting a second pay packet from TNB, when I talked to those wrestlers about possibly getting a Pay Per View deal, and how we could sort out their contracts.... We got harrassed by the 'XWA Originals'.

All of a sudden, you guys didn't like to entertain the thought of TNB coming back. You didn't want the competition, and you all pretty much said so in a matter of words. But that didn't bother me none. What bothered me was people like you. People who, instead of looking forward to the competition, instead of ignoring the competition, they went around banging their drum about TNB is dead and crying to anyone that would listen. We didn't want any kind of war or invasion. All we're doing is defending the honour of a company that we all worked very hard to build. And all you 'XWA Originals' who proclaim TNB dead are walking into the middle of a forrest that you know nothing about. You're poking fun and playing with fire when you badmouth TNB. The only thing is, like I said, we didn't want a war, and you guys are going to end up starting a fire that you cannot put out!

[ames]

Jimmy paces the ring following Lionheart's speech. He looks up to the stage with with contempt in his eyes.

Lionheart, c'mon now. Let's face the facts here. It doesn't take a brainiac to see the REAL reason why you shelved TNB. The company itslef is a ONE TRICK PONY. How many times can ya' blow up a place and start from scratch until you realize it's DEAD IN THE WATER. The best guys you have to offer are all a buncha' painted up FREAKS. You, Genesis, Avenger...c'mon buddy. You guys had a great run, but lets look at things from a realist's perspective. TNB IS DEAD.

You've got some nerve talkin' about "we don't like entertaining the idea of TNB coming back". Coming back as what? WCW again? Maybe that failed attempt at an ECW rip off again. No no no, wait. I got it. You're gonna bring it back and make it MMA like UFC. Yea, that'd be about the ONLY thing that could save your "company". You wanna talk about defending honor? XWA came up from NOTHING. The ashes of what was left of LXW. But WE built it into something that blows what LXW was out of the water. Now you TNB guys get in here, and not even a month later you wanna start rockin' the boat. Well Captain Ames is ready to toss all yer asses over board. TNB politics, contract negotiations, whatever you wanna call 'em. They've got a place...NOT IN XWA. YOu asshats wanna force your crap on us, fine. Then we reserve the right to force you bozos into early retirement. We aint pokin fun at what TNB was, we're saying LEAVE IT IN ATLANTA!!! TNB this, TNB that. The most yer doin' is usin XWA, MY XWA to TRY and breathe life into a dead horse. Pull the plug, dude.

[adrenaline]

(following the topic in Association)

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" plays as Adrenaline makes his way out.

"What the HELL are you preaching? Lionheart, shut your mouth! Jimmy Ames is right! THIS IS XWA! Not Trollop-nigger-bitch (TrollopNiggerBitch-TNB) wrestling? This is the most XTRAORDINARY COMPANY AROUND! And there is NOTHING you PIECES OF TNB-SUPPORTING TRASH CAN DO ABOUT IT! WE ARE X W A!

(crowd chants XWA as the XWA theme music plays and the logo shows on the Tron.)

"TNB wants back? Well- try!"

(Now on the Tron it shows a game of Pong, XWA on both sides. As TNB gets hit to one side, XWA traps it between the bottom and itself. TNB bounces back and forth, then explodes.)
"THat's TNB's 'invasion' for you. Have a nice day."

[youngblood]

Jason Youngblood's music hits and he walks down to the ring, shaking his head. Stepping into the ring he turns to Adrenalin.

What the hell is going on here? How... did... you... get past the Proving Grounds? Or the School of Hardknocks? Or the developmental FTW brand? I mean damn kid, get some direction! Stop coming out here interupting anyone and everyone's situations. Stop talking.... just stop talking! No one wants to here it. And before you even think to say it, I'm not out here interupting, I'm out here performing a public service. Why don't you take your little ass to the back, and stop the ratings plummet in one quick motion -

Jason stops his rant mid-sentence.

Look man. You need to find a direction.
Are you trying to recruit Lionheart onto your whack ass little team, or are you challenging him?
You need to pick one enemy and focus on them. That's assuming the higher ups don't send you back to the Proving Grounds when they realise they accidently let one slip through.
Until you do that, no one is going to pay attention to you. And you'll just continue to come out here making a fool out of yourself.

Naw... I'm tired of sugar coating it.
Look at you right now. Standing in the middle of the ring, in the middle of a situation that has nothing the fuck to do with you! Get out of the ring n00by!

[adrenaline]

*Adrenaline grins, but there is a look of pity on his face as well.*

"Nooby? That's the best you can do? Get to the back asshat. You're nothing. What you can say in ten sentences I can say in one. More energy...for the kill"

[genesis]

Without any kind of announcement or anything. Genesis & his wife Sabrina walk out from behind the curtain to a huge standing ovation from the crowd. Genesis carries the XWA National Heavyweight Championship over his left shoulder proudly. With a microphone in hand. The couple stands on the stage looking down at Youngblood, Lionheart, & Ames. Sabrina hands her man the microphone. As he takes one last long look out at the crowd. He then raises the microphone up to his lips & speaks.

Genesis - So, looks we have more doubters on our hands eh Lionheart & Youngblood ? You see, its people like Jimmy Ames up there who just can't grasp the concept of TNB Wrestling ! You see Ames. You may a very big mistake pal. When you attack Lionheart verbally. Your basically attacking me & the rest of TNB Wrestling. And to put it in more simplest terms. When you mess with one member of the wolfpack. You mess with the whole of pack of wolves !

Seeing as how no one bothered to defend TNB's honor and come out and show there colors. I guess at least for the time being its down to just me, Lionheart, & Youngblood to carry the banner. And thats fine with me really. Hell I've been in worse odds before. But see Mr. Ames. Lionheart has accomplished alot in his career. Sure me & him may have never been say the best of friends or might not have always gotten along 24/7. But we do respect each other for what we both have accomplished in the wrestling business.

Jimmy, you can stand right there and talk all the shizit you want about myself and TNB. It doesn't make a damn to me quite frankly. To me, your just a 2nd class citizen. You bitch about how you and the other "XWA Originals" if you will shaped up this place. No, no, boy. Your wrong....as a matter of fact. Your far from even being RIGHT !

You see, it was guys like me & Lionheart that came in to XWA for a purpose. To both expand our careers and to help the young next generation of superstars that were in TNB to get a good clean start here. Guys like Brian Williams, Carson Freedom, & Enrique for example. Tell me, when was the last time YOU helped any superstar out to make them successful ? Exactly. NEVER !

And did you ever notice the ratings for the Takedown programs since TNB arrived ? The ratings have been through the roof. Especially since I came here. And one other thing I wanna add. Just out of spite really. Have you ever won the XWA National Championship ? Or better yet. Lemme re-phrase that for you. When was the last time you beat the XWA National Champion who had the longest streak of any champion going today ? You see, Xavier was an excellent National Champion. I'm not taking anything away from him. He's a good man in my good book. While fans may remember his impressive run as champion. Others will remember THE MAN who broke that winning streak !

Genesis then holds the National Championship high in the air as the crowd cheers loudly. Then after a few seconds. He begins to speak again:

Genesis - When was the last time Mr. Ames you ever got a reaction like that ? Probably NEVER ! It takes a real son of a bitch like me or even a Lionheart or a Youngblood to get a reaction like that. It took guys like us years to get to where we are in our careers. Hell man, just for a little history lesson. It only took me a year & half to accomplish everything that I have done in this business.

As successful as XWA is. It would have never had its success had it not been for TNB Wrestling. I've said it before and I'm damn proud to say it once again. WE MADE YOUR ASSES !

*Crowd starts to cheer violently and break out into chants of "TNB", "TNB", "TNB" !*

Genesis - Everything that you guys have done as a whole here in at XWA. You owe it to us from TNB Wrestling. We at TNB Wrestling broke boundaries and rules that were never meant to be broken. Looking back at TNB in its glory days. Its roots so to speak. When it was once World Championship Wrestling. The old WCW never broke from tradition. When the name was officially changed to TNB. We basically said FUCK TRADITION ! We took big risks. Risks that really could've killed TNB Wrestling. Changing title names, getting rid of the old cogers and using the "new blood" as its main eventers. Gimmick PPV's and matches. You name it, we did it all first before companies like XWA came along and try to recreate what was simple uncreatiable.

I did have a small ounce of respect for XWA. Even during this war we have going. But that is now all lost. You guys have no respect for anybody or anything. Quite frankly. Not one person in XWA gives a rats ass about the people who helped made wrestling what it is today in order to have jackasses like you Ames to have a fucking job in the first place !

And Jimmy Dean. If you have a probably with anything that I have said tonight. Then I won't hesitate to march down to that ring. And the three of us: Myself, Lionheart, & Youngblood won't hesitate for a single second to put our foots in your ASS !

Genesis lowers the microphone and waits for a response as Gen. puts his arm around his wife and they both just listen to the crowd on hand as they are about to blow the top off of the arena.

[ames]

Jimmy covers his face, wiping his hand down to his chin in moderate disgusts. He raises his mic and responds.

You see, THAT'S WHAT THE HELL I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! You came to XWA t "Better your careers and help the younger TNB talent make a fresh start"? In layman's, you're doing EXACTLY WHAT I JUST SAID. You're using XWA, the company guys like ME, XXL, Devlin, Ashley Diamond and of COURSE Our World Champ Scott O'Dell put on the map as a spring board to make your own SECOND RATE asses look good. You've got some nerve hyping yourself up as being the man who ended Big X's "Streak". It only took you 2 TRIES. And how many matches did we drop before that fine day happen? Does Blade Myers ring a bell? You're LESS then nothing. The fact that the National Title is on your shoulder drops it's value more then Orange County CA. after a BRUSH FIRE! Like I said before, "TNB this and TNB that". I'm tired of hearing you asshats boast about "Tradition" and all that damn nonsense. What disgusts me even MORE is that we LET you jerkoffs have your way. You with the National Title, Angel Storm with the Diamond Title, Enrique winning War Games. That bozo better me DAMN LUCKY I wasn't in that match. But you assjackets, you aint gonna be that fortunate. Not at the least. I don't know about the new guy over there, but I know I speak for ALL THREE of The Headliners when I say this...


SCREW TNB UP THERE ASSES!!!

Lowering his mic, Jimmy had delivered the first shot. His disregard and disrespect for TNB was all but evident in his last comment.

[adrenaline]

Genesis, Genesis, Genesis. You hold the XWA National Title, and congratulations ont hat. BUT! BUT! THe name says it all. It is the X W A! National Title. Not Trollop-Nigger-Bitch wrestling National title shit. Said it before, will say it again, TNB is the SHIT! With\out the the of course.

[maniac]

Madhouse plays as Maniac makes his way out to the stage with a mic.

Sorry it took me so long but I was deciding on whether coming out here was worth losing brain cells because of what seems to be the biggest pest in XWA. But what the hell, it's not like I use mine when I do something. So let's see.

We have another XWA original talking about something he knows nothing about. With all the TNB alumni coming here you know we were going to say at least something about it. About how we had a great time there and met at least some success.

See, Ames wants to say TNB is using XWA. We're riding the legacy of XWA. Well no offense but XWA doesn't really have a legacy...yet. XWA hasn't even been around for a year. How the hell are TNB superstars going to ride the legacy of something that hasn't been around that long. See you talk about how you're making us look good. I know I tend to be a dumbass who gets himself in a whole lot of shit with my mouth but it has nothing to do with XWA.

See plenty of people know me. They know Genesis. They know Lionheart. And why is the hell is that? Is it because of XWA? No! It's because we've busted our ass to get to the top. I mean you sit there and make the superstars of TNB out be people who bitch when they don't get spoon fed. Now there may be a couple of those but every federation has them. But if what you're saying is true don't you think that as soon as me, Genesis, or Lionheart arrived we would be demanding a World Title Shot?

Hell I've got a match against the Pure Champion Ryan Blaze. Now of course I knew this wouldn't be a title match and I really don't give a shit. Whether the title or not is on the line. Should I pin Ryan, it will speak to people just like ti does whenever someone wins or loses. If I win which I plan to, then I basically own his ass. I don't need a title to prove I own someone's ass. All a title does is give me a nice bonus to my paycheck.

But let's get to the main point at hand. The people who run their mouth about how bad TNB is are people who don't know a damn thing about TNB. Adrenaline doesn't even know a damn thing about XWA let alone TNB and yet he's always running his mouth. If anyone's using XWA to further themselves it's people like Adrenaline. People who don't really have a damn idea about what's going on but jump right in hoping it will boost their popularity. Hell he claims to be XWA yet he's constantly pissing off people swho say their for XWA.

But Jimmy. Honestly. What the hell do you know about TNB? You know it was a company that ran for about 2 years and then closed down. So what the hell. Everyone knows TNB was willing to help out XWA while TNB was running. And this is the thanks TNB gets for it. TNB gets told they're nothing but shit. See, it's obvious who wants this war. Each time this subject comes up, it's XWA bringing it up instead of a TNB original. So as said before. Be careful what you ask for because TNB knows how to fight one hell of a war.

[adrenaline]

Maniac- you are SADLY mistaken. SADLY! TNB is dead. Is this a TNB RING? NO! It is an XWA ring! If you wanna run your mouth, go do it in a TNB ring so people can have the great pleasure of not listening to you. Sadly, we have to. Go to some TNB ring and flap around if you desire, I don't really care. Just don't make us suffer from having to clean our ears of the shit that gets stuck there when it pipes its way on through your mouth!
