Declaration (Syrus)

[Magnus Von Schwartz]

Magnus' theme begins to play and instantly the crowd in Washington DC begins to boo, right before the man even steps out onto the stage. Wearing a simple black business suit he marches down the aisle looking as smug and confident as he has ever been in the comapny the first month of the season.

Buzz: Here comes the so-called "King Of Sport". The biggest farce in the XWA, and if you asked him if he cared he'd probably laugh in your face.

Roach: Magnus Von Schwartz is a man who's self-indulgent, self-diluted and self-centered. He doesn't care about anything but his own supposed glory. Look at the expression on his face, it's the same as how he looked like after he blindsided Syrus after losing to him and put the man through our announce table. Fans, as much as I don't want to revisit it, this replay shows exactly what happened after their match on TakeDown last week. Disgusting, and now he has the nerve to come out and say something?

That was exactly what Magnus came out to do, amidst the now championed chant of "Screw You Maggie". He stands in the middle of the ring with a mic in his hands.

Washington, DC. The capitol city of the United States of America. The very home of freedom and democracy. Or should I say the home of fallacy and hypocrisy!

Buzz: Wasting no time getting more fans I see.

I look on at you all and I see exactly what it is that I saw last week in Syrus Sykes. I was correct in my assumption, he truly does represent all that this nation symbolizes. Decadence. Gluttony. No sense of self-pride or self-determination. Why, the very essence of his being is simply put to "entertain" you imbeciles and add on to his own so-called legacy. And what's more is that you people for whatever reason cheer him on.

The people in fact do cheer him on, and now Syrus' name can be heard amongst the crowd, the cameras scouring to show fans wearing the man's T-shirt and holding various pro-Syrus signs.

You are the same people, the same nation who choose to vote for men to lead you who make idiotic decisions for your country. A nation where the governor of one of this country's most prolific states is removed for harboring prostitutes!

Buzz: Well, if he was Governor of Nevada he'd probably still have a job...

And yet, with all that it is that you should be upset about or disgusted with, you people stand here and choose to disrespect me for what I did to Syrus last week? Hmph...you only prove exactly how mis-guided you truly are. When I slammed Syrus through that table, I sent a message. It was one to him, and it was one to all of you as well. The message was that there is much, much more to this than victory or defeat. That is all you people are concerned with, who wins and who loses. Your sports, your Super Bowls and World Series'. All that matters to you is the winner and the loser. Well, last week it could be debated as to exactly who the true loser was. I may have been beaten, but Syrus...you were broken.

You know now the levity of the situation you find yourself in.

He chuckles to himself off of the mic.

For you and I are not done, not yet. Not on your life. I have only begun to show you just what it is that I am capable of doing, and tonight, here in this ring I am bound and determined to finish what I started! This is beyond competition. This is war. In war there are strategies that are carried out. I have truly struck the first blow, and now it's time for you to make your move. I await patiently.

Magnus bows slightly while he lowers his mic and as the crowd continues to boo him he awaits his rival's appearance.

[Syrus The Entertainer]

"Holy Calamity" starts to play. The fans roar. Syrus steps out onto the stage, but he's all business right now. No hype man this time around. Just one man, already geared up and prepared for some payback. He paces around the stage, stopping himself from outright running down the ramp and firing off on Magnus right then and there.

Maggie? Imma agree with you on one thing. A couple of things actually. First off, you did strike the first blow last week. Oh yes, brotha, last week's TakeDown did catch my attention. Before that match, you were just another step on my path to greatness. But Now? Now it's all about one thing and one thing only, as J. Brown the Godfather of Soul himself once said...PAYBACK! The big payback! REVENGE!

All that talk about competition, sport, blah blah blah yaketty-smacketty...was just a load of bull, and so are you! I knew that from jump street, and so did these fans but you sealed the deal when you powerbombed me through that table.

Another thing you sealed, was how things are going down tonight. I think it's only fitting that here in OUR nation's capital...*cheap pop*

...I re-enact one of great theaters of war. You did call this war, right? Well that I agree with as well. Imma be frank with you and not to disrespect your nation, but right now you and them both have something in common. You're both 0-2 against the US of A baby! Only thing thing is that they weren't dumb enough to come back a third time, unlike you!

Tonight, the third time will be the charm, because tonight I'm gonna give you the big payback. Real big. Same way you did me...through a table!

Roach: Whoa! Syrus is challenging Magnus to a Tables match!

Now, I know you're all into the "purity of wrestling", so let me fill you in. No pinfalls, no tapouts, no countouts. The man who wins is the man who puts the other sucka though some wood. You might have done that last week, but let's see if you can pull it off straight up and not behind my back.

[Magnus Von Schwartz]

I am thoroughly aware of the concept of your "Tables Match" Syrus. Yet another chaotic contest created for the purpose of satisfying the bloodlust of these common minds. Well, I am in the mood for chaos tonight. I crave the barbarism. The brutality.

Yes, it would satisfy me very much so making an example of you once more. My single action last week makes your two victories meaningless. Look at you! The rage, the anger. How it amuses so, you have no idea.

He was simply overjoyed the fact that Syrus was so emotionally charged. It was exactly what he wanted. Make it more than just a match, make it a battle. Make it something that meant more than simple victory.

Putting your pathetic carcass through another table tonight would be even more fulfilling than it was the first time around. Make no mistakes though, I will do it again. You will fall tonight Syrus, and I will enjoy it. Every minute of it! I shall give you a glorious death.

[Syrus The Entertainer]

So you want chaos?

Syrus starts to pace around.

You want barbarism?

He stops and looks to the crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen, do want what Magnus wants tonight?

"YEAH!"

Oh you better damn sure believe that's what you're gonna get. But Maggie, imma tell you what else you're gonna tonight. Something you ain't bargain for, but you should be used to by now...and that's yo punk ass whooped by Syrus FTGDMFL!!!

DC, you ain't gonna see the same old Syrus tonight. This ain't gonna be the same show that you know...it's gonna be one restaurant style ass-whooping nice and cold-blooded and served up on a table for one.

Syrus points towards Magnus for his final words.

I already made you reservations...all you gotta do is show up and get beat down. Holla!

He tosses the mic to the ground after that and makes his way backstage as his theme kicks in once more.

BuZZ: Oh yeah, Syrus is focussed tonight. You feel the intensity in his voice. What Magnus did last week has woke something up that I don't think he's ready for.

Roach: Well, I hope that Magnus gets his just desserts tonight in this match. One on One Tables match, and I think that everyone here wants to see Syrus get "the big payback" here tonight.
