Perspective (Bain)

[x]

The familiar sound of Lionel Xander's theme hits the PA. The No. 1 Contender steps into the arena sporting what seems to be the Damage Inc signature, a bandage on his head. Last week in the "Pick Your Poison" match, Xander was beaten quite soundly by the World Champion Ethan Bain. A match that gave Bain the choice of what match tonight's title match would be. The always impatient Xander enters the ring, snatches the mic from the PA announcer, and goes to town on the champ.

Alright, Bain. No more games. No more waiting. No more BSing. Tonight's the night. You won the match last week, so you get to choose what the match is gonna be, but I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna be sitting backstage waitin' for you to come out and make your decision on you time. NOT HAPPENING. So get your big for nothin' ass out here and let's make this official.

Xander paces around the ring waiting for Bain's arrival.

The entrance theme of Ethan Bain cues over the PA. The champion enters the arena met by a thunderous cheer from the Atlanta fateful. With the World Title draped over his shoulder, Bain makes the walk down to the ring, never taking his eyes off of Xander. He climbs the steps, steps over the ropes and enters the ring. He gives a confident glare at Xander in the ring before calling for a mic of his own.

Hasn't anyone ever told you that patience is a virtue? But then again, you don't strike me as the most patient guy in the world. So allow me to ease your pain a little bit. I've had a week to think about how I can make tonight's match something memorable. Something that people are going to talk about for a good, long time. But the question is how? I mean, with all of the insane matches that's been done in XWA, how the hell can we make tonight's title match something for the ages, especially seeing as the "Soul Survivor" is going to be crowned tonight as well. Then it hit me. Earlier today when I got to the arena, I watched as the boys set up that Steel Cage up there. So that got me to thinking. What's a match using a steel cage that no one in their right damn mind would be in? We already have a Pin Or Submission Steel Cage match tonight between O'Dell and Payne. And then we have an Escape Only match between XXL & Sylk. So how in the world do we go above TWO different styles of Cage match?

As the fans wonder, Bain rubs his chin as if thinking about his decision a bit further.

I'll tell you how. With a match that's only been done three times. With a match that's so freaking ridiculous that it takes YEARS off the careers of the men involved. A match that was only done in XWA once.

A PRISON BREAK MATCH.

The crowd explodes in cheer.

Buzz: He did not just say that. A PRISON BREAK MATCH!!!

Roach: To the uninitiated, the rules of this match is simple. Two men get inside a Steel Cage. The winner is the man who can ESCAPE the cage two out of three times. Once your feet hit the floor, they open the door and you have to get BACK IN to do it again. It's a test of will this match is. There's literally the potential to wrestle basically THREE consecutive Steel Cage matches in a ROW.

You. Me. That Cage hanging up there. And a WORLD of pain. Tonight my friend, you're gonna earn your stripes. Because if you want this title, you're gonna have to fight the greatest god damn fight of your freakin' CAREER for it.

Ethan lowers his mic and waits for Xander's reaction.
