Giant Killer (Higby)

[hev]

The lights in the arena begin to flash, and the entrance theme of Chris Hevessey begins to play. He steps out into the arena, making his 1st appearance in XWA in almost a year. The crowd greets him with a thunderous ovation, as he makes his walk down to the ring with purpose. Chris slides into the ring, and heads for the northeast corner of the ring, where he hops up to the 2nd rope and works over the crowd even more. He steps down and calls for a mic so he can address the Verizon Center fateful.

Tonight is the night, ladies and germs. The night we've all been waiting for. The night I'VE been waiting for for damn near a year. In April 2007, I almost had my career ended at the hands of a 7'2", 400 lb monster. "The Colossus" Steven Higby.

The crowd boos the mention of his name. Chris grins in agreement.

Hibgy!!! It's GUT CHECK TIME!!! Tonight, it's you and me. And believe me when I say that I'm gonna be taking this match VERY personally. You took my livelihood away from me. You put me on the shelf for 11 months, and that's 11 months of payback you've got coming to you. But before that happens, I wanna look your big, doofy ass in the eye. Face to face, man to man, before I hand you the most MONUMENTAL ass kicking since when that kid David beat ass on the big fella name Goliath. Front and center, ya's circus freak!!!

Chris lowers his mic, and waits for the arrival of Higby.

The theme of The Colossus begins, and the crowds cheers taper down, as the awe at the largest man in XWA. He walks to the ring with focused eyes, and bounds up to the apron. Stepping over the ropes, he calls for a mic by ringside, looks to Hevessey and responds.

Chris Hevessey. It's been a long time.

The crowd seems shocked by Higby's calm demeanor.

Last year, I did come within an earshot of stealin' away your livelihood. I came out 'ere, after ya' beat Shia Storm, and beat you senseless. But it wasn't because I wanted to.

Mike: W...what the hell is he saying?

Higby takes a deep breath and continues.

It was the idea of Marshall Dane. The man who managed me last year. The man who brought me into wrestling. He said to me, that a statement had to be made. And I followed his every word. I followed him because I didn't have a choice. And for what I did, I'm sorry.

Shock comes across the crowd at what they'd just heard.

I don't expect you to understand. And I don't expect your forgiveness. But I will give you what you want. A chance at redemption. So tonight, it will be Chris Hevessey Vs. Steven Higby. And Chris, I hope you give it your all, tonight. Because I'm gonna give it mines.

Higby drops his mic, looks at Hevessey, and turns to take his leave of the ring.

Chris, as well as everyone else in the arena was left in complete and total shock at what had just happened. He really didn't know what to think, much less say. Higby was already up the walkway by the time Chris got it together, but suddenly the match had taken a new twist.

Buzz: Ladies and gentlemen, I really don't know what we just witnessed here, but this match is apparently going to go down regardless. But if you're Chris Hevessey, where's this put your mindset now?

Mike: He came into the arena looking for payback against an angry giant. But now it seems he'll be facing a...gentle giant? What the hell? Something tells me this situation has just begun to unfold. Let's send it backstage to Fabiola standing by with...
