Brandon Payne comes off a huge victory over Sylas Styles at XGames. His first big win in quite some time. However, as Payne got up to his feet. Having his hand being raised in victory. Something... was different about him on this night. He felt like himself again. That old killer instinct came out during his match with Styles.
It wasn't the fans or the people that carried him tonight. It was his self pride. It was his old confidence that had long sense dwelled into the darkness of his heart that was replaced. Replaced by a new persona that Payne didn't wanna be anymore. It wasn't him. He wasn't going to act like a president, so to speak. No more walking around shaking hands, high fiving his fans and his opponents. Saying how much he respects everybody. And coming out the losing end about 90% of the time. His career was starting to go on a downward spiral of which he couldn't escape from.
Until now...
Payne had grown soft, even mellowed out over the past year. The old-school Brandon Payne. The cold hearted, selfish, inconsiderate, even sometimes crazy, persona that has sense made him a legend over the years... was now gone. But not forgotten. HE hadn't forgotten about it.
As he stood there, with his music blaring over the PA System. The fans roared on with cheers. It was a great match indeed. Both men put up a fight.
Something inside of Payne... as he glared out at the crowd. Snapped inside.
Payne quickly rushed over and grabbed the microphone out of the hands of the ring announcer. Who stood there looking at Payne with a puzzled look on his face. The crowd continued to cheer him on. Payne stood there in the center the ring. His lips quivering with anger and rage. An evil sinister smile across his face. Then.. all of sudden.. he yelled out to the audience:
STOP IT !!! STOP IT NOOOOOOOOOOW !!!
Everyone in the arena stopped cheering.. an eerie silence began to fill the entire arena. You couldn't even hear a pin drop. The tension that was beginning to build, you could cut it with a knife. As Payne looked on at the stunned crowd. He begins to speak:
For WEEKS.... no... for the past year. I've walked around playing nice with the wrestling fans. I went from arena to arena, event to event, shaking hands with the fans. Signing autographs, taking pictures with the fans, making the people happy !
What I didn't realize, however. While I wasted my time making the people happy. Giving them what they wanted. My career started to slip and fade away.
BuZZ: What is he talking about ?
Roach: Shhhh ! Listen, let him finish.
2008 has been a good up and down year for me. I've won many matches, and have lost matches that quite frankly. I shouldn't have lost. Ya wanna know why I lost some of those matches ? Its all because of YOU !!!
*Payne points at the crowd*
The fans reaction starts to take a drastic change. From shock to pure hatred and confusion. Why was Payne doing this they thought ?
I had at least a couple of victories over men the likes of Primo and Ethan Bain this year. But I've also lost matches that I should have won. I lost them because I was too busy worrying about impressing the fans. I lost matches like... the two World Title matches.
I had XXL beat at Only The Strong. I could have easily walked out of there the new World Heavyweight Champion. But you know what happened ? I failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity. Why ? Because of you idiots. I was too busy worrying about impressing the crowd that I went in being more overconfident then usual. XXL saw that mistake and made his move. Thus, he ended up walking out the World Champion. While I was pulling myself off the mat wondering what happened.
I let that slide. Knowing full well that I potentially had a shot at getting my revenge. Put that would come at a price now wouldn't it ?
At Devil's Night. I was thrown into the Devil's Playground. One of the most brutal and sadistic matches ever in the XWA. Conveniently enough, I walked into to the match at #1. I lasted just enough for all 6 of us to get into the chamber. Before I knew it, fatigued started set in. Before I could mount a comeback. My knee blew out on me. As I went down in pain. Every man in that ring saw fit to put me out of my misery and I was eliminated.
My possibly last chance of becoming World Champion was TAINTED !!!
Weeks later, I go to the local doctor and I find out that after tonight's match with Sylas Styles. I would have to go in for surgery to repair my injured knee. Hell, I wasn't even at 100% to go, but I pulled off this win. And I did it without YOU !
I had to do this for myself. To prove that I could still get it done all on my own. For the first time in a LONG time... it felt pretty damn good.
Bottom line, after the arthroscopic knee surgery thats to come within' the next month. I've gotta wear a brace on my knee for the rest of my career. You wanna know how that feels ? To know that from this point on, I'll be walking into each match at a disadvantage ! I've got this for the rest for the rest of my LIFE !
Brandon Payne... stood there in the ring with the rage continuing to build inside his very being. This anger that he's held back must've been locked away for a long long time.
Beating Styles in this ring was just not another ordinary win for Brandon Payne, no no. This is a message. A message thats going to be sent loud and clear to the whole XWA locker room. From every jobber in the back up to the World Heavyweight Champion. Let it be known that Brandon Payne is BACK !!!
No more games... no more Mr. Nice Guy... the ruthless, cold-hearted, manipulative, self-centered, and even just a tad bit crazy, son of a bitch...... is back for good !
Let it be known for the year 2009. I don't give a flying fuck who the World Champion is. Whether I have to do it at March Madness or even 12 months from now at X-Games III ! Brandon Payne will rise again to his throne and be the World...Heavyweight...Champion !
....
....
And might I add...it feels DAMN GOOD... to be me again !
Payne drops the microphone. Then proceeds to leave the ringside area to the back. The fans are left speechless. Even BuZZ & Roach can't utter a word. Payne was walking out of the arena, and 2008 with a bang ! A time for celebration for his victory tonight was now overshadowed by his change in attitude and demeanor. One could only wonder what 'The Elite' had in store next.
