Ambition (Tryton)

[jeff]

Jeff Heaven makes his 1st appearance since the 2nd Takedown show of March. As his music plays, he makes the familiar walk down to the ring.

Buzz: Here comes Jeff Heaven. The man who seems to always have something to say. I still don't know what to make of this dude.

Roach: Be that as it may, you've at least got to respect the fact that he can take it as well as he can dish it out.

Inside of the ring, Jeff is handed a mic. He gets right down to the task at hand soon after.

The last time I stood in this ring, I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter by none other then our NOW World Champion, Ethan Bain. So I want to send a special congratulations to Mr. Bain. But know this Ethan, you haven't heard the last of me. And hang on to that title for as long as you can. Because the next time you and I square off, I'd love nothing more for it to be a World Title match.

Pacing about the ring some, Jeff adds to his words.

It's well documented that I'm no stranger to competing here in Japan. I've had some of my greatest wins, and losses, go down on Japanese soil. And tonight, I'm gonna be perfectly honest, I'm looking to get back on track. I'm NEVER the guy to make excuses for myself in losing a fight. But it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Not in the least. So I was thinking that maybe I'd come out here, and put out a challenge to anyone in the back. But then I got to thinking. I don't just wanna fight ANYONE. If I'm gonna get in the ring, I want to get in the ring with a guy I know is going to bring his A game. And there's one certain guy I've been looking to go up against for some time now. That man, is Tommy Tryton.

The fans boos at the mere mention of Tryton's name.

Yea, I know the feeling. A guy who has all the potential in the world, yet he chooses to ally himself with the likes of the BIGGEST mouth in XWA, Scott O'Dell. You and my paths never crossed back in PTW Tryton. But there's a 1st time for everything. And I'm looking to make the 1st time something memorable. So front and center Tryton. That is, IF you're man enough to fight me.

Strong and heated words from Jeff Heaven. He waits for the arrival of Tommy Tryton.

Accompanied of course by the lovely Liani Li, Tommy makes his appearance on the set. The fans boo their arrival.

Jeff. Buddy. I would have figured if there was ANYONE who got what it was I was doing, it would have been you. I mean, in essence what I did, was the same thing you did back in Detroit. You remember that, right? The System, AKA "Hogan's Heroes" When you were running with Chase, doing anything he said in hopes of putting an end to 8-Man's vice grip on PTW? Good times, good times. What you did, was essentially what I did. Side with the best man in the company. Problem is, the best man in XWA isn't a boyscout like Hogan Chase. He's a cut throat, take no prisoners son of a bitch. And to be honest, I kinda like that about Scott.

As the boos came hot and heavy now. Tommy grins. He continues on after a few seconds.

I just got sick and tired of being "the good guy". Playing up to these fans who have NO appreciation for what true talent is. I mean, just look at me? A body chissled out of stone. The looks of an A-List Model. More skill then 75% of the trashy ass roster of XWA. Yet...these people boo me, and cheer for someone like that Chet Dixon clown. They boo ME, but they cheer for some jackass who runs around with a pair of baseball bads and a bad Dante costume. THAT'S why I did what I did. Because these people don't know jack. They'd rather cheer for guys with silly ass 1995 gimmicks, then REAL men with REAL talent.

As his words got more heated, so did his demeanor.

Which brings me to you. Yea, in PTW or path's never crossed. We made names for ourselves in different ways. But here we are in a new company. New rules. A new battle ground. But one thing won't change Jeff. That's Tommy Tryton being declared the winner. If you didn't have the chops to beat that chump Bain, who I'm 10 TIMES better then in that ring, you don't stand a god damn chance against me. So I'll ask you to really mull over what you're askin' Jeff. Do you REALLY want to face me tonight?

Tommy lowers his mic and awaits Jeff's reply to him.

[jeff]

Jeff stands for a moment with his mic at his side, looking as if he was thinking heavily. All of a sudden, he quickly raises it and replies.

Thoughtabout it. And I can see nothin' better then kickin' your ass tonight. There, that didn't take long at all, did it?

The crowd gives Jeff a supportive cheer as he continues on.

I only know as much about O'Dell as I've heard since being in XWA, but I can say one thing. You two make a great couple. You're both muscled up. You're both ego-maniacs. And most of all you're both FULL of it. Must be like staring into a mirror. Except he's not a chrome dome. Tommy, I've respected you for a long, LONG time. But that respect is running real thin right now. I don't wanna sound harsh or anything, but it seems to me like...well...seems to me like YOU SOLD OUT!!!

The crowd continues to cheer Jeff on.

The Tommy Tryton I remember was a man of conviction. He was a man who stood for what was good for the business. No, you weren't a boyscout. But you damn sure wouldn't turn your back on the fans.

Jeff stands in wait of Tommy's next response.

[tryton]

Tommy responds to Jeff's words.

"The Tommy I remember was a man of conviction. He wouldn't turn his back on the fans" BLAAAAAAAAAAAAH BLAAAAAAAAAAAH BLAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I know how I was back in Detroit. And look what the hell it got me? A Tag Team partner who walked out on me, a screw job for a World Title shot and so much other crap it's sickening. I'll pass on being a "company guy" here in XWA. I don't care waht you, these idiot fans, or any of the chumps in the locker room think. Tommy Tryton is for Tommy Tryton, PERIOD. Call me a sell out if you want. Fact of the matter is that as a Headliner, I'm getting something I couldn't get in PTW. NOTICED. And not in the same way you are, Mr. Run you mouth about how good you are and get SERVED two weeks in a row. The last thing I need from you is career advise, Jeff. You want a match with me tonight? Fine. You've got one. But don't say you weren't warned, Heaven.

Tommy'smusic sounds over the PA, and he lowers his mic. Liani leans in to him and rewards him with a peck on the cheek, as Tommy stands with a smile on his face.

[jeff]

Meanwhile in the ring, Jeff stands and nods at Tryton. It was clear that Tommy was firm in his decision. In a way, Jeff couldn't blame him. But the fact still remained that this issue needed to be settled. One match would probably not do it, but this was at least a means of Jeff gaging the skill of Tommy Tryton. The scene ends with a shot of Jeff, stoically looking on as Tommy and Liani take their leave of the stage.
