Divinity (o2O'Dell or OTS Opponent)

[revan]

Darling Violetta Plays and Pryce's entrance movie is shown overhead. and the newly dubbed White Angel appears on stage. the light suddenly turn to bright white to have a blinding affect on people. Pryce walks down the ramp again with the serious look he has had for months now. fresh of his bout with Jimmy Ames Pryce still has bruises form the match. he rolls under the ropes and walks over tot he turnbuckle. he stand on it for a second and jumps down snatching the announcers Mic.

I did exactly what i said i would do. i didn't bring my A* game, but i brought my normal angelic self. and again god had his hand in my match and allowed me to beat a man who i had little respect for. but you see thats only the beginning. tonight at Only The Strong i will make history. by beating a man who has been on a roll as of late. a collision course between heaven and hell.

Fans wonder who Pryce is talking about.

When the seedings came out i relished my chance to beat one of the greats in Scott O'Dell. for me i don't know what the big fuss is about. you beat Brandon Payne, your a former World champion and thats it. nothing more nothing less. so a chance to beat you and walk into Xgames 2 as the man to beat would be the work of our most holy soul in the lord. the same man who has kept me on a roll, the same man who has brought me up from the bad times to right here to face you. its all part of his grand scheme. something that you no doubtingly play no part in. and that is why i will be the victor tonight.

Fans boo, so far, they really don't like where Pryce is coming from. this new found arrogance has made Pryce nothing more than a puppet. a puppet fans like to see get thrown around and beaten on.

So Scott, you want to come out here and make this a formality? i know your style, you will walk out here talk trash and none of it mean anything. so come on out and surprise me, cause that will be a surprise second only to me beating you in this ring. The White Angel awaits your pathetic excuse for a comeback.

Pryce waits for Scott to arrive. or somebody else for that matter.

[scott]

Sporting his trademark Business suit, Scott steps out onto the set met by a thunderous chorus of boos from the fans. He grins, soaking up every moment of it. With a mic of his own, Scott speaks his response.

I gotta correct you on something there, Chris. I can call ya' Chris, right? Anyway. Brandon Payne isn't the only guy I've beaten. Who else is there on the list of my conquests over my career? There's Kayn...there's Keith Wyle...there's Ryan Fierhart, Jayson Jones, Jon Payne, Joey Curtis, Ethan Bain, Chet Dixon, Van Hayden, Adam Devlin, MG...hell, I even have a win over our reigning World Champion Xander Xavier Luther. In layman's terms, I've beat everyone there is to beat in XWA. Everyone. Or at least all of the guys that matter. No my friend, I don't need to talk trash. My rep does the talking for me. It's one of the many, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany reasons I am, and always will be...The Franchise.

As the fans continue to boo, Buzz & Roach weigh in.

Buzz: As much as I can't stand this dude, he's 100% right. He's best just about everyone there is to best in XWA. And that's what makes it an even harder pill to swallow.

Roach: You're right, Buzz. As far as talent goes in ring, there are few, if any that can truly match this man.

Scott continues to grin, then adds more to his rant.

When I coined my world famous phrase "No matter how good you are, I'm that damn better", it wasn't just something to slap on a T-Shirt. It's gospel. And seeing as you're on this whole angelic kick these days, you should know that the gospel is law. Can't be fought. Can't be changed. No matter how much you try to get around it, itis what it is. Which is the reason why I'm pretty much *ahem* "destined" to win tonight. Last week I dashed the dreams of MG in a rather satisfying way. It felt good finally putting a sock in his damn trap. Now he knows what everyone else does. You don't upstage Scott O'Dell. He upstages you. And tonight, only three more men stand in my way of getting where everyone knows I belong. Main eventing at the biggest stage in wrestling. And the 1st man on that list is you.

Now I've gotta give you some cred, beating Jimmy Ames is no small task. But I'm not Jimmy Ames. I'm a cut above the rest, my friend. The measuring stick of XWA. I'm the guy that everyone on roster wants to be, even the ones who are to bull headed to admit it. Like I said, I don't have to brag. My career speaks for itself. So ask yourself the question "Are you ready to raise your game?" Only two men this whole season have been able to do it against me one on one. I don't quite think that you're up to snuff enough to be number three.

Confident words from O'Dell. He awaits the next response from Pryce.

[superman]

Now waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute!!!

Before Pryce could make a response, one of the other men who made it to this leg of the OTS Tournament stepped out from backstage with a mic in his hand. It was Marcus Samson, who appeared to a raucous ovation from the international gallery in attendance.

Before you get too high on yourself there Scotty Boy, like that would ever happen , lemme be the one to bring you back down to earth. See, as impressive as your resume might be there, with all of those big names that you've beaten, I hate to break it to buddy, but all of that is in the past...and that being said, the only person that cares about it at this point and time is you.

I don't care that you beat XXL.

Pryce doesn't care that you beat Keith Wyle.

These fans sure as hell don't care that you beat Jon Payne...in an exhibition match.

Pausing to let that one sink in for a few seconds, Marcus continues...

Last week, me and Chris Cage had ourselves what could possibly have been the single greatest match in the history of the XWA!!! Everyone who was watching the qualifiers saw two men who not to sound cliche put it ALL on the line last week, because Cage just like me knew what was at stake.

But even in that, just like every other match you've ever been in up to this point, none of that matters now O'Dell.

Why? Because of where we are right here and right now. ONLY THE STRONG 2008 in Athens frickin' Greece!!!

*CHEAP POP!!!*

The tournament where the man who wins joins Tommy Tryton, Syrus and the XWA Champ in the main event at XGAMES2...and that my friend is more important than anything in the world for the rest of us right now, except for maybe you that is.

Now with the usual stage pace, Marcus starts to fire up.

I can speak for the rest of the grid that for us, this isn't just about braggin' rights. It's about the honor that comes with winning this whole thing. Look back at last year, the man who won this tournament is the man who walked out of MSG with the strap. That means something to me, but to you...all this is is another notch in the gunpost, a feather in the cap, whatever.

That's why you're not winning O'Dell. By the gods of Greece itself, if you manage to get past Pryce first, whatever the seeding is, you better hope and pray that you don't see me. Second round, finals, whatever...that O'Dell is gonna be the end of your night, because right here and right now, I don't see "The Franchise". All I see is another man who stands in my way, and if someone else doesn't knock you down, you better damn well believe that I will!

[scott]

Well thank you for those informative words...uhm...what was your name again? Oh WAIT!!! I remember. Marcus Samson. Yea, you came into XWA the same time I did, right? To think that you could have been right on the same line as me as far being on top of the industry if you could just stay off the Injured Reserve list. For being someone as big as you are, you're kinda' delicate, aren't ya'? Lets just hope you don't chip a nail tonight, sweety.

Scott chuckles to himself as the fans boo his typical antics.

Let me make things crystal clear to you boys. Tonight is one of the biggest stages in this sport. A showcase of who is the best of the best. Because to win this, you have to beat not one, not two, but three men in one night. A feat that only someone with the skill, strength and talent to do so. And looking at the rest of the field, I can count the number of guys that actually worry me in this one one hand. With two fingers in fact. And I'll admit, you're one of them Marky. But barely. You see, while you've been playing Syrus Syke's sidekick taking on Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Damn & Tweedle Dumb, I've been taking on the best in the sport. It's all in the perparation my friend. And you don't take me as the kinda guy who gameplans much. But we all have our shortcomings, don't we? I know I have some. But they sure as hell aren't in the ring. A fact I'll prove tonight, and in spades for that matter. I'm hoping...no...I'm praying that you make it into the finals. I really do. Because if you do, I'll be the man waiting. I promise you that. And if it's you I face, I'll do to you the same thing I did to everyone else, "Exhibition" or not.

Humble you.

With his vintage grin, Scott waits for the next response.

[superman]

There isn't any humbling me buddy boy. I think it's high time that somebody bring you back down to earth though. See, you've been living the charmed life way too long Scotty. I think that it's about time that somebody give you that beatdown that puts it all in perspective the fact that you're not as hot as you think you are.

See, it looks and sounds to me like you're just gonna keep on talking about all the people that you've "beaten" till it comes out of everyone's ears! You might've been the better man on those nights, but you don't realize that it's just one night. That doesn't make you better than anyone Scott, no matter how many times you spit it out of your mouth.

If by some miracle you happened to beat me tonight, humble would be the last thing I'd be. Believe that. Bring whatever gameplan you wanna bring out and if it works out for you, it's only going to be by *that much* stepping in the ring with me, because you better believe that I'll be gunning to put you in your place O'Dell, down on the mat for three seconds. That's MY gameplan, and you can ask anyone...it might be simple, but it's pretty damn effective!

[scott]

Scott grins and replies.

Oh no no no, Marcus. I'm not gonna keep playing up my many accomplishments in this sport as you say "until it comes out of everyone's ears". I'm only gonna do it until chumps like you, Pryce here, and everyone else start showing some respect. Guys like you are a dime a dozen. You talk about "honor" and "prestige" and being "for the business", but when someone like me comes along, who is just plain better the everyone else, and knows they're better then everyone else, it's having an "ego". But when your play pal Syrus does it, it's "Entertainment". So do me a solid oh righteous and moral Mr. Samson, take you self righteous crap and save it for the next town meeting. Or maybe for that "I hate O'Dell" Fan Club I know you're on the band wagon of. Because I've done more and will do more for this industry and this company then you will ever do. Ever. You can go on and keep thinking to yourself that you'll catch me one day. Same mistake everyone else makes. I'm so far ahead of the trend that I already know what the next one is going to be. And from where I'm standing, you guys look a lil' obsolete.

Scott chuckles once again before finishing up.

Now as much as I'd love to stand here and shoot the breeze with you guys some more. I've got a tournament to win tonight. And unlike you, who obviously spent your days in High School in the debate team, since you wanna stand here and preach all night, I spent my whole life wrestling. That's what I do, and I'm not just good at it, I'm one of the best at it. And it's up to one of you guys tonight to prove me wrong. So instead of trying to muster some form of witty comeback, cuz I can see the gears in your head turning as we speak, save that energy for the ring. Because if you make as far as the finals, between me and potentially Pollox Troy...who's the other guy that mildly concerns me FYI...you're going to need it.

Scott then looks to Pryce.

As for you, if ever there was a time to call on some of those angels, now would be a good one.

Scott gives him a cocky wink. He chucks his mic in the direction of a near by stage hand, and gives both men a final glance before exiting the set and returning backstage.

[superman]

O'Dell's right folks...

He says as Scott takes his leave.

I'll never do what he's done for the XWA. Ever. I don't think that any of you could take another loud-mouthed, tight-wadded punk with his head so high up in the clouds that it can't even reach his ass. And who said anything about being righteous? All I said was that the little bastard talks too damn much! Guess I hurt his feelings...but that won't be the only thing that gets hurt IF he gets that far.

The last words that he had to say where pointed to O'Dell's first opponent for the night.

Hey Pryce, do us all a favor and send that little Polly-Anna packing, will you? My ears are starting to hurt, and if we have to live through another O'Dell gloat fest I might have to make like Van Gogh and chop 'em off. Or was it DaVinci? Whatever...

Did Pryce have anything to say himself? We'll just see...

[revan]

It was Van Gogh.

Fans chuckle as the war of words i brought to a head by an artist with one ear. Pryce smiles and then lifts his Mic to his mouth.

Don't worry Marcus, Scott O'Dell has made his valid point in this discussion. and as much as i don't like it a Gospel is a Gospel. but what he doesn't know is that destiny is not always written in stone. but this one is. I will be at Xgames meeting Both Syrus and Tryton in the ring. nobody can stop it. Gospel is law, but laws are made to be broken, and if anybody can do it then it is most certainly the White Angel.

Pryce then looks back to Marcus.

good luck in you match. cause after you win it, then it will be the end of the road for you. no offense but in our last meeting you didn't survive. what makes you think a determined version this time will make a difference. i am who i am. Scott O'Dell has a good record, and so do you. but i am the next step up wards. O'Dell talks of being "a cut above the rest" what he does not know is that there is a bullet with his name on it. and i have that bullet in my arsenal.

And you well. i have little respect for you as well. but i am on a roll. and i talked seconds ago about beating you, the irony is that my run started by beating you. so you never know you may surprise me, but i doubt it. you will end up on my list as well. for you and Scott to know is that i am the future of this business. my debut year has been an overriding success. i am only going to get better. and you know what they say about futures. they often take you by surprise.

Pryce exits the ring and walks up the ramp. he stops when he gets to the stage. Mic still in hand.

Oh and By the way Marcus. Fate is on my side. but i do hope that you and Scott finish this Little talk some other time. maybe after i have won you two can dust it up in the ring. cause from what i can gather that would be a hellasious match. so i am about to go and gather some holy water to douse that demon of hell. anything you want to say?
