The rules of war (o2a)

[eb]

The relatively unknown man known as Ethan Bain makes his appearance during the XWA Live event. As the big man walks down to the ring as his music plays, the XWA Commentators share there insight on him.

Mike: Ethan Bain ladies and gents. The 6'10" 350lbs pheonom who apparently has some kind of history with our own Jimmy Ames. This guy reminds alot of people of Nathan Jones in that he's a raw, unpolished find. There's no doubt he's got size and power, but what an athlete as well.

Buzz: And what a MEAN STREAK. Did you see he put the boots to Evan Fate? NO ONE'S ever put him out like that. This guy had been scouted by plenty of companies. Signed up with Ohio, but opted out because it wasn't what he wanted. Now he's here in XWA, and by george I LOVE IT!!! This guys gonna turn some heads and bust some skulls!

Ethan enters the ring and is handed a mic. He speaks for the very first time in XWA.

Alot of you people in this arena don't know who I am. Alot of the superstars backstage don't either. But they, as well as you are gonna find out REAL FAST. My name is ETHAN BAIN. And I'm THE BIG TICKET. I'm not the fastest guy on roster. I'm not the most technically sound guy. Hell, I'm not even the strongest guy, the toughest guy OR the meanest guy. You wanna know what I am?

ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

I am THE Blue Chip prospect of this industry. And industry dominated by Straight edge losers, loud mouth ROCK wanna be's and of course the "Bigger then the business" guys. You know the names. You know the gimmicks. Well I don't have any gimmicks. All I do is bust people up. And that's what I'm looking to do HERE AND NOW. The body count begins TONIGHT. All I need is just one victim. One guy. One of you "big tymaz" backstage. Come on down to this ring, step up to the plate and become the first of MANY to be...and I quote this one...

MADE FAMOUS.

Mike: Yep, with that kinda bravado, he's DEFINITELY a friend of Ames...

Ethan lower his mic. He awaits his first XWA Challenger.

As Ethan Bain stood in the ring awaiting the arrival of anyone who wanted to accept his challenge, a new theme music could be heard playing throughout the arena. Though it was a new theme music, it was someone who has been around in the XWA for just about a month now. Chamillionaire’s Turn It Up was the music that had been playing throughout the arena. The fans were puzzled as they didn’t know if they should cheer or if they should boo or if they should simply sit in their seat and wait to see who will come out. Suddenly, white smoke began to fall from the stage and seep through the bottom. A man who went by the name of Bryan Hanzell had walked out onstage and began a slowly walk. As the smoke cleared up, the crowd was able to see who it was. Once they saw Bryan’s face they began to cheer. Bryan nodded his head and through his hands up in the air in a taunting position for the fans all around him. He smiled as he walked down the ramp looking from side to side into the eyes of the fans that watched him walk down the ramp. Flashes could be seen from all the photographs that were being taken. Bryan hasn’t been in the business too long but he has already made a small name for himself not to get to cocky about it. He stops toward the end of the ramp and signals for a man who works in the arena to toss him a bottled water. The man does so. Bryan catches the bottle with his left hand and walks up to the ring. He then walks around the ring and stops on another side. He opens the bottled water and pours water over his head and then takes a quick sip over the water. He then throws the bottle into the crowd for whoever wanted it. He hops up onto the mat and stares at all the fans. He then places his head down. Suddenly with high energy he lifts his head up and throws his hands in the air as sparks fall from the ceiling. He enters the ring under the second rope and taunts for the fans one last time before grabbing the microphone. Before picking up the microphone from the mat, Bryan looks into the eyes of this new addition to the XWA roster. A huge man he was indeed. Did that scare Bryan at all, no it most certainly didn’t. He picked up the microphone from the mat and lifted it to his mouth.

Ethan Bain…Welcome to the XWA. Now I know you simply don’t care that I just welcomed you here to the XWA well because you are a big man and you basically just want to bust some skulls in and show that you are a superior wrestler here in the XWA. Well I got no problem with that. It’s good that you have something set straight in your mind. As long as you can back it all up in the ring, well that’s all fine with me. You said that you needed your first victim, well here he is right now. Me…No I’m not gonna call myself your first victim unless you actually do beat me in the match. Let me tell you something, I may not be a “big timah” like you say, but I plan on being one in the near future. I put my all into all the matches that I step into. It’ll be no different once I step into the ring with you Mr. Bain. I’ve already had one person who was bigger than me want to bust my skull and well, I didn’t let that happened. You may think of me as a joke to come out here and accept your challenge, well I’m not. No let’s do this thing. Bain…Hanzell, one on one action XWA Live. What do you say?

Bryan lowered the microphone to his side. The stood right up to the bigger man. What was he getting himself into? He didn’t even know. All he knew was that he was ready for a great match to unfold.

Ethan, towering of Hanzell, looks down at the man with a smirk. He raises his mic to respond.

Well what do we have here. I know who you are. Bryan Hanzell. 2-0 so far in XWA. 2-0 going on 2-1 that is. I'll give it to ya, lil' fella. You've got guts. Guts for days. But you ALSO have yourself a VERY big problem. That being ME. The last thing I'm gonna do is drop my 1st XWA match to YOU. Not a chance. You came out here and excepted my challenge. You made your heartfelt, riveting speech. Well let me give you the lowdown on what happens from here. Later on tonight, you come out here with you lil' fancy entrance again, then I come down here after you, and I have you the ass kicking that your daddy warned you about. Remember that bully back in Middle School that picked n you, stole your lunch money and stuffed you into lockers?

That's ME!!! And I'm all grown up. You might be hyped. Amped up. Ready to roll. But tonight, you're gonna get JACKED UP. It's as simple as 1...2...3.

Ethan lowers his mic and awaits the reply of Bryan Hanzell.

Bryan lifts the microphone back up to him mouth after smiling at what Ethan Bain had to say to him.

You there is one thing that I have to agree with you on. That is that I have the guts. Yeah…that’s true, I do have the guts to come out here and stand toe to toe with you Bain. It’s not easy for someone to come out here and stand before a big man without being afraid. Now you say that I will be going 2-1 and one after our match tonight, well let me tell you something, I’m not gonna let that happen. You think it’ll be a walk in the park when you step in the ring with me, but it won’t be easy at all. I don’t just bow down to wrestlers in matches like others. I go into the match and put up a fight. You say you are gonna he my bully, well that’s not gonna happen either. I always hated those damn bullies; well we are all grown up so it’s not the same. In wrestling there is no bullying, there is only the person who steps into the ring and wants to win and there’s the person that walks into the ring who puts there all into a match to win at any cost. Well that person who puts their all into the match is me. Its not gonna be an easy match for you Bain. Bring it on!

Intensity was full throughout his body as he lowered the microphone. He wasn’t going to let some bigger guy bully him around. He was already two and zero and was planning on going three and zero. He waited to hear from Ethan Bain.

Bain is made to grin once again as he responds.

No one said I needed to walk all over you. All I need is to get in the ring, and get my hands on you. The rest is academic. I'm gonna do what the last couple of ASSHATS you faced couldn't. BEAT YOU. And it's gonna be a beating you'll not soon forget. I like that you've got some fight in you. That's gonna make things that much sweeter. That means when I DO serve you up an "L", you won't make up excuses. You won't blame it on an old injury, or say "I had something in my eye". You're the kinda guy who takes his lumps, which is good. Because tonight you've got lumps, bumps and bruises comin' by the baker's dozen.

Ethan awaits the final response of Bryan.

[coast]

The microphone is raised to his mouth for the last time.

Well, if you think you won’t be like the rest and beat me then you better bring your all into the match later tonight. You see everyone else said that they would walk into the match and beat me, well I didn’t say anything. I went into the match and did my thing. So if you think you’re gonna serve me up my first loss, then you better bring your A game. Anything less then you will lose. You see I capitalize on people’s mistakes, so don’t make them. If you do come into the match giving everything you got them we’ll have a good match for all the fans to watch. If you have to give me lumps, bumps and bruises, then so be it. That won’t stop me from coming right back at you will all I got. Even if I do get injured I will still come at you. So tonight, it’s on and I will show you why I’m 2-0. I’m no joke. I’m for real. I may have come from a very small business back in Cali, but this is the big time which means harder work. See you in the ring later tonight Bain.

With that said Bryan drops the microphone to the mat as Turn It Up plays through the sound system once again. He stares up into the eyes of Ethan Bain. No fear…None at all. He came here to be one of the best and he has to work his way up there.
