Cruise'n To The Top

[jacobcruise]

*All Done With Permission*

The camera view shows us in the backstage area. Panning around a bit, it seems we are being taken somewhere by the cameraman. Perhaps hes trying to find someone?

Ah yes, his target. Much like the hunter searches for his prey, the cameraman searches for his target. Although in this situation, the hunter would be nothing more than a mere mouse compared to the Grizzly Bear that it would call its prey.

Finally, his subject is in lens view. Sending the fans, who watch this all unfold on the titantron, into a frenzy. Ringing out with a chorus of boos at the man now on the screen. Jacob Cruise...

"Ladies and gentlemen...Boys and girls...Educated and complete dumb f*cks...Wait, who are we kidding...Everyone knows that no one with an IQ thats higher than the number of fingers they have....other than twelve finger Tom...waste there time watching this mindless garbage you call wrestling 'entertainment'....So I guess I'm really just addressing the dumb f*cks here tonight at the moment..."

The fans boos are so deafening at the moment he is forced to pause. With an annoyed look on his face, he waits for the arena to quiet down...

"Shut the hell up...Greatness is trying to speak..."

Another chorus of boos...

"Tonight...I...Jacob Cruise....Will.....not be debuting...Sadly, my doctors have advised me to take another week off due to a reoccurring leg injury...."

The fans cheer loudly...Glad they wouldn't have to put up with his pathetic ramblings again tonight...hopefully....

"Thank you...thank you...I know you all wish me a speedy recovery....but I would like to say..."

Before Cruise can continue, a door opens to his right. And emerging from said door...none other than Chris Lionheart. As he steps into the camera shot, the crowd goes wild. Seeing both the TNB titles he carries draped over his shoulder...He turns to Cruise....Motions to both his titles...Then holds up one finger in Cruise's direction. Proceeding this all, Lionheart then releases a short laugh. Obviously mocking Cruise for the fact he's only ever held one title in his wrestling history...And just like that, he turns to walk away...Cruise, not being one to take things like that quite so lightly...

"Hey...Lion-o..."

As Lionheart turns to face Cruise, he is met with a devastating Cruise-Ification. Planting him face down into the cold hard floor. Cruise the proceeds to kick the living hell out of him....

"You want to mock me? Well you can go to hell....TNB can go to hell...and these fans can all go to hell..."

Cruise finally steps away from Lionheart for a moment. Hmmm, his leg didn't look to injured during that assault. Lionheart now attempts to stand...

"Oh...and one more thing..."

Cruise removes a small metal pipe from the confines of his tights. Without warning, he cracks Lionheart across the face with it. It appears he even reopened the eye scar he gave Lionheart from doing this same exact thing just months ago...

"You looked better with the face protector....Biatch!!!"

Cruise drops the pipe. It makes a loud clanking sound as it hits the hard floor. With nothing but a mere laugh towards Lionheart, Cruise turns and begins to walk away. Leaving the arena....

[Chris Lionheart]

Lionheart rolls around on the floor for minute or so, holding his face in his hands, and moaning in pain. Turning onto his hands and knees, he runs his hands over the ground looking for his two TNB titles. Finding the first one, he hugs it close to his chest.

There's the TNB Tradition Title...

Finally he finds the other title belt on the other side of his body.

And the TNB Evolution Title...

Putting both belts drapped accross each shoulder, he finally stands up. With his hand to his face he slowly brings it down to his side and looks at the camera. His face isn't as badly injured as it was the first time Jacob attacked him last year, but the old scar is indeed reopened and bloody.

Is that the thanks I get for buying XWWS and making it apart of TNB? Without TNB, XWWS would have died much sooner. Or maybe he's just jealous that the only title belt he's won is a 'Great Lakes' title in some throwaway company, and he needed rescuing. Now that I've brought him here, into XWA, he decides he want's to make a name for himself off of my back? Things are just like old times....

Lionheart reaches into the inside pocket of his suite, and pulls out a cell phone.
The only difference is that this time around, Chris Lionheart actually has some back up.


Hey Stone. I heard your little brother just joined XWA. How about your old pal Lionheart pulls you out of the unemployment line too? How do you feel about earning the big bucks as my personal bodyguard?
