Still Shining (o2a)

["The R*" Robby Sylk]

"Fire" begins to play and the former XWAWorld Champion makes his OTS appearance. Walking the aisle as confident as ever, you'd have never known that he was on the losing end of a brutal tornado tag match a week prior.

Buzz: You just can't knock Robby Sylk for being one cocky bastard, can you? Look at him! He just rocks!

Roach: What're you, the head of the Robby Sylk fanclub?

Buzz: Rule #1 partner, always make friends with the guys who gets the most girls. This guy is a playa!

Alright, cut the music!

He makes the "slit" sign as he climbed into the ring, now with a mic to speak to the masses.

Brandon Payne, Brandon Payne, Brandon Payne. I never forget a pretty face...but I also never forget an ugly one that I want to beat into ground beef, and you fall into that category. The so-called "Wrestling Elite" has to stomp me like the LAPD to keep me down long enough for a pin last week.

Yeah, that's really "Elite" work right there. You people must not see it, but hey you're all idiots anyway so I can't blame you...but Brandon Payne is about the biggest farce this industry has ever seen, and I've seen in with my own eyes. The dirty tactics, the turnbuckle pad pulling, the hiding behind the refs...and you people cheer for a man like that!

The fans indeed did.

Yeah, like I said...idiots. Well, BP...as much as it pains me to say this, I hope that you do win tonight. I want you to beat XXL, and why? If he loses, he's instantly in the Devil's Playground...and with you as the champion so will you, and that's exactly what I want Payne. I want you to walk into Devil's Night the champion so that you can walk out exactly what you really are in the grand scheme of this...a fake!

Roach: Heated words to say the least.

You're a fake wrestler and you'd be a fake champion, but luckily we'd only have to deal with that for one month before I take back my title and you fall back into the obscurity that you've called home for the entire year! Then you can use all the cheap tricks and tactics you want, because they might work for you every so often, but you've got another thing coming if you think that's going to get you on top...or at the very least above yours truly. I only wish that I could get the chance to face you one on one, so that I could show you how a REAL Elite gets down.

That's what I am folks, and tonight I'm going to prove it to you all again. Tonight another monkey's gonna come out from backstage and talk his trash, call me names and blah, blah, blah...and then he's going to get his ass kicked by the GOLD*. The man who will be a two-time XWA World Champion! See unlike you Payne, all that I need is my natural talent. Athleticism, techincal accumen and looks to die for!

As he showcased his six-pack abs, Sylk got a good bit of "woos" from the female fandom.

That's how it's going down tonight folks. See, I might not have the gold, but this is still the GOLD* ERA whether you like it or not. I hear Payne-in-the-ass and XXL talking about destiny and how this is their time or their night...well gentlemen, this is my WORLD. I run things here and you just work here, don't get it twisted! Even when my shoulders get pinned...I'm still gettin' my shine on because I am the Highlight of the Night!

Roach: Is it me or is Robby Sylk getting even MORE arrogant?

Buzz: I wouldn't call it arrogance, more like...cockiness. ;D

I've got the "Golden Touch". I make anything that I touch look oh so much better. Just look at last week! That was probably the first time that anyone every paid any attention to Bain OR Payne this year, wasn't it? All because they were in the ring with me! That's just what I do, just like I said last week. Now, I'm going to be generous enough to give someone else their "Golden Opportunity" tonight.

Who wants to make their career mean something tonight! Huh? This is GUARANTEED STARDOM for one lucky nobody here, just don't expect to get lucky like Payne did last week!

*It wouldn’t be long before Robby’s challenge was answered with the intro of “Hammer Smashed Face”. The crowd in Greece jumped to their feet as Kayn walked out from the backstage area with a mic in hand.*

Mike: ”Well this is a man who hasn’t been under anyone’s radar for most of this season Buzz.”

Roach: ”What the hell is he doing here? Robby said he wanted to give someone a golden opportunity, Kayn doesn’t deserve that kind of opportunity.”

*As his music continued, Kayn walked down the ramp, giving a few high fives to the fans as he approached the ring. Once he reached the ring, he climbed in and stood toe to toe with Robby and looked at him for a moment as his music faded. He raised his mic and began to speak.*

“You and I have some unfinished business Mr. Sylk.”

*The crowd exploded as Kayn continued.*

“Last year at Devil’s Night, you and I had a knock down drag out fight. Not a match, a fight, and even though I won that match I did what I felt was right by trying to show you respect because I’ll admit Robby, you were as good as you said you were. But what did you do? You basically spit in my face. That’s something I don’t forget too soon. So since tonight your dance card is empty and my dance card is empty, what do you say that right here in Athens Greece, *cheap pop* you and I have one more match to see who the better man truly is.”

*Kayn lowered his mic and waited for a reply from Robby.*

["The R*" Robby Sylk]

Robby was surprised at the arrival of Kayn. After that raised eyebrown came back down to it normal level, he had this to say:

Way to stroll down memory lane there, Kayn. I remember that night as well...and I gotta tell you, I'm real happy you're the one who came out here. Somehow, I think you've got your wires crossed though.

See I don't need to prove that I'm the better man Kayn. I don't need to prove that to you or to anyone else in the XWA...that's what makes me the better man! While everyone else and their mommas have to try and be the best, I already know that I am. Why? Because I say that I am!

Most of the crowd didn't take too kindly to that boastful claim. Boos could be heard all over the arena, but Sylk nodded as if what he said was the absolute truth.

The proof is in the pudding! You and me, we've got a little bit in common right now. To this day, only one man has beaten us. I'm not counting last week because without XXL's help that fluke Payne wouldn't have even touched me! As far as I'm concerned right now, you and I, title or no title, are the best two male competitors on the XWA roster!

Pointing in the direction of Kayn...

But the only reason that your streak went on as long as it did though was because you didn't have to face me! Like I said, I remember that night really well. The saying goes there's no time like the present, and in this present...you've given me a present! The chance to get some payback of my own for that one minor, and I do mean minor blemish on my record. You admitted that I was as good as I said I was last year, this time around you'll be admitting that I'm even better than I was then, and that I'm better than you right now!

[Kayn]

*As Robby spoke, Kayn listened to every word and when Robby finished a smirk crossed Kayn’s face. He then raised his mic again.*

“Then I guess tonight we prove which one of us is the best of the best in the XWA right now. You may be better than you were last year Robby, but if I were you I’d wait until after our match to boast being better than me right now. I’ll see you later tonight.”

*The crowd cheers as Kayn lowers his mic and his music begins to play. Kayn exits the ring, watching Robby as he exits. Once on the arena floor, Kayn looked at Robby for a few more moments, then headed up the ramp, once again giving high fives to the fans on the barrier.*

Mike: ”Straight and to the point as always Buzz. Kayn came out here and laid it out to Robby.”

Buzz: ”Yea, but he’s going to eat his words when my main man proves how much better he is than Kayn and I can’t wait to see it.”

*Kayn reached the stage area and looked back at his opponent for the evening, he then pointed out to the Athens crowd to a thunderous ovation before heading to the backstage area.*

-END for Kayn
