The O'Dell Address (Fierhart/Liedhamer)

[scott]

The theme of Scott O'Dell plays over the PA, and the Greek fans show him a special level of contempt as he makes his way to ringside. Dressed in a fashionable suit, Scott climbs the ring steps and enters the ring. He's handed a mic from the ring announcer, who's instructed to leave the ring. Looking out to the booing fans, Scott begins his address.

Last week, a heinous act took place after the show in London. Three of my fellow XWA peers, Evan Fate, Adam Devlin and Jared Chase were attacked backstage by an unknown number of assailants. Thankfully, Fate and Devlin had only minor bumps and bruises, but sadly, Jared Chase I regret to inform you all, is out of action for the remainder of our European Tour. While it's unknown what the extent of his injuries were, XWA Brass put him on the shelf until we return back to the US so that he can rest and recover...

With a forced look of concern on his face, Scott shake his head at the news.

Now I myself being a man who loves information, have been keeping tabs on what you, the fans, have had to say on The1XWA.net's message board. And it appears that people are INCENSED with the notion that I, Scott O'Dell had something to do with this. While I'll admit, I'm in no way a fan of EITHER man, I would NEVER resort to Guerrilla tactics to get my point across. As SO many men in the company can attest to, when I don't like you, I tell it to your face. So by all means people, get that idea out of your skulls.

The classic O'Dell smirk returns. He continues on as usual.

Another thing that happened last week, was simple put, Me, Sabastien and Kwik got HOSED. Ryan Fierhart and his new buddy Van Hayden decided they wanted to pull a fast one on us. We put out the challenge for them to find a partner and face us in a 6 man elim match. And THEY went on and came out with of ALL the men, LIEDHAMER.

Scott sneers as the crowd approvingly cheers his mention of "The Iron Giant".

Yea, yea...yuck it up you bunch of Greek idiots. Well, I just so happen to know of ANOTHER certain Giant who's been waiting for a chance at some sweet redemption. And that Giant's name is STEVEN HIGBY. So here's what I was thinking, Ryan. You bring you're pal Liedhamer down later tonight, I bring MY pal The Colossus down, and we ALL have ourselves a little fun tonight. That's right, a TAG TEAM MATCH. You've got yourself some BIG back up, well so do I. And My Giant's pretty pissed about gettin' shown up in LA last month. So what's it gonna be, Pretty boy? You and the German game tonight or what???

With his vintage smug smirk, Scott waits for the response of Fierhart & Liedhamer.

[ryan]

It doesn't take long for Ryan to make his appearance. He makes his way to the ring with purpose. Ryan calls for a mic and speaks his response to O'Dell.

You know somethin', Scotty? You're a real piece of work. It's real funny that the first thing you did tonight was pretty much deny having anything to do with what happened last week in London. But I know better. And I'm gonna bet your sweet, bald ASS that you had something to do with it. And WHEN...not if...but WHEN I find out you did, you'd best believe that there's gonna be HELL TO PAY, Chrome Dome.

Ryan steps in closer to O'Dell for part two...

And as for what WE did to you, Frenchy and Diddy last week? A thing of beauty. You see, for the time that Sabastien was power trippin', he thought NOTHING less of stacking the deck against anyone who opposed him. So I personally figured...why not repay the favor? And that's where the BIG man came into play. The look on you three's faces? PRICELESS. So now as it stands this week, you wanna even things up by bringing down The Colossus?

A slight pause...

FINE BY ME!!!

I don't think the big man has ANY QUALMS taking a piece off of you OR Higby's ass tonight.

Lowering his mic, Ryan awaits Scott's response.

[scott]

Scott continues to give Ryan a smug look as he speaks. Once finished, Scott replies...

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan...relax dude. You're to tense. All bent out of shape because some of your pals got used last week. Eeeeeeeeeeeasy, Fierhart...easy. It worries me...because it's your OWN ass you need to be concerned about this week. NO ONE elses. Tonight, me and Higby are going to let some of our personal frustrations out, and then...at Only The Strong...We're going to settle this...and in a BIG way. How??? Oh wouldn't you just like to know. But let me at least let you know THIS...it's gonna be a match to remember. TRUST me on that one.

Scott continues to smirk as he lowers his mic.

[ryan]

Ryan laughs to himself before responding.

Is that a THREAT? O'Dell??? Or is that one of your world famous GARAUNTEES. We know how the last one worked out for you. *Heh heh heh* I'll tell you what, Scotty-boy. You bring your WORST at Only The Strong, and I'll be ready, willing and able to make it THREE IN A ROW at PPV's versus you. And tonight, Me and the big fella give you and the British ogre a little preview.

[scott]

Scott steps in even closer to Ryan and speaks his final words...

It's not a threat, Fierhart. Or a guarantee. It's INEVITABLE.

O'Dell's music cues over the PA. He drops his mic and stands eye to eye with Ryan briefly before heading to the apron. He climbs down the ring steps and makes his way backstage.

[ryan]

Ryan smirks as he watches his nemesis leave the arena. O'Dell by himself was a tough opponent, but paired with Steven Higby, Ryan knew it was going to be a hard match, even with Liedhamer as a partner. He looks on knowing full well that if there was ever a night he needed to step up, this was that night. The scene goes into the next segment.
