Where's the X? (X-Gen)

[Trouble*]

"Moth" hits the P.A. system, and walks out Ryan Blaze in his wrestling gear. He makes his way to the ring. At ringside he takes a microphone from the announcers table and slides on in.

Only The Strong. Here I stand, ladies and gentlemen, possessed with a problem. A big one. Easily one of the biggest pay-pre-views of the year, and I, The Star, am without a match. That's why I'm out here, to send out an open challenge to a small group of men in the big sea known world wide as XWA.

The X-Gen

There's been so little of interest in easily the most interesting divisions of the XWA, if not the world. Where's the focus on the high-flying antics? Where's the dare devil tactics? No where to be found, and I don't like it. So, this is a challenge to anyone involved with the 'X'. Let's give Only The Strong some flare.

Well look at what we have here, eh?

The arena fills with cheers as Jimmy Ames surfaces from backstage.

If it isn't my good buddy Ryan Blaze. Man, it's been a while, hasn't it? As a matter of fact, the last time I saw you personally was in a ladder match in February. A match that I beat your ass in, but by the luck of the Irish you came out the winner of. And just when I was poised to come out firing and challenge you to a match that I knew you'd not be as lucky in, you fell off the map. And now, nine months later, here you are again. Now since you left, things have changed a bit. I ended up becoming the 1st ever X-Gen Champion. I ended up carrying the division on my back for three months. And recently I've been using Damage Inc as my whoopin' boys. But don't think that I forgot about you, Ryan. Not a chance. Tonight we're gonna put things to bed. You beating me in that Ladder Match was a fluke. If it where any other kind of match, I'dve won 10 times over. But because I couldn't pin you, no matter how many times I laid your ass out in that match, it came down to me spending a bulk of it loosening up strap above the ring, and you catchin' a break from my hard work. We're gonna see how well you do this time when luck isn't in the equation.

Jimmy steps up and answers the call.

[Trouble*]

Jimmy, I'll give you props on something that you did that no one ever has done. You broke me, mentally and physically. Yeah, you beat me. You beat me pretty badly, to the point where my ACL tore during our match. Nobody has ever injured me before, so it was definitely something new. I stuck to it, though, and climbed up the ladder with one leg, tossed you off and took down the already loose brief case. I've healed though. My leg is at 110% and I'm the same old sadistic bastard.

I'm glad you of all people came out to play. While I was out with my leg injury, I only had one name on my mind. Jimmy Ames. Now, you're standing right in front of me. Perfect. It's time to end this once and for all, Jimmy. Tonight the best man will prevail.

Jimmy smiles his "famous" smile, then replies.

Icouldn't have said it better myself. The best man will win. And it doesn't take rocket science to figure out who that man is. Tonight comes your official "Welcome Home"back into X-Gen Wrestling. But the accommodations for you are going to a less hospitable then you might like. I'll see you later tonight.

Jimmy lowers his mic. Giving a final glance to Blaze, he starts on his way out of the ring.
