Redemption (Osiris)

[ryan]

As the show comes in from a break, Ryan Fierhart stands in the ring. Still dressed in his street clothes, he stands with purpose in his eyes. He raises his mic to speak.

Ladiesandgentlemen. I've found my Kryptonite. And his name is Osiris Alston. I've faced this man three times. And I've lost to this man three times.

Ryan looks out to the crowd.

*heh heh* I'll be the first man to say that losing to the same guy over and over again isn't a good feeling. It's not fun. Nor is it funny. When I went toe to to toe with O'Dell for all those months, I knew what worked and what didn't. I knew how to beat him. But in Alston, what can I say? He's a gamer. He might be a complete and total ghetto asshole. But the man can fight. And he can wrestle. There's no denying that.[/font]

Ryan takes a deep breath before continuing.

Any normal man would have tucked tail and said "I never wanna face that guy again". But I'm not any normal man. I'm a FIERHART. And we Fierharts NEVER back down from a challenge. And that's what you are to me, Alston. A Challenge. My father always used to tell me "You're not defined by who you've defeated, only by who's defeated you." I never even knew what that meant until recently. It means that to make yourself in this business, it's NEVER about who you can beat. It's about finding a way to defeat those you CAN'T. And tonight, I'm gonna find a way.

Cheers swell up from the crowd in anticipation...

You and me, Alston. In this ring. One on one. I can't...no...I WON'T let the fact that I've yet to defeat you stop me from doing exactly that. You might think that you're in my head now. But you're DEAD WRONG. The only day you'll EVER be done with me is when I'm beaten so badly I can't even WALK let alone wrestle. We're not done yet, Alston. Not by a long shot.

Lowering his mic, Ryan awaits the arrival of Alston.

[si]

Alston's entrance theme soon begins to play over the PA, and The G.O.D. hits the set. With mic in hand, he looks down to the ring at Ryan with a smirk on his face. All smiles, he answers Ryan's challenge.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, homie. You ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, aren't you? I mean, let's look at this objectively. Three matches, three loses. I mean, I can unda'stand that ya' pride's taken a hit and all, but c'mon family. How many times do I have ta' whip yo' ass befo' it finally registers in ya' head that you CAN'T STOP THE G-O-D!!! But here you are again, out here droppin' another challenge, and soon ta' be droppin' another match.

With a smirk on his face, Alston waits for Fierhart's response.

Ryan walks over to the ropes and leans over them. He raises his mic to speak...

Damn, Alston. How predictable can you get? Something in the back of my head told me that you were gonna come out here and do EXACTLY what you just did, GLOAT. All the talent in the world won't ever change the fact that you're a PUNK. And that's one of the biggest reasons why I can't let it slide you beating me. Because you're a freakin' CHUMP. Real men don't brag when they've got another guy's number. They use it to take down the next man.

Ryan grins as he prepares his next statement.

Granted, you've beaten me Three times. We ALL know that, and thanks for pointing i out again Captain Obvious. But let's go into what you HAVEN'T done. I can recall a couple matches you didn't do to well in. Like your two shots at the National Title where you fell flat on your face. Or how about when my boy Adam put the boots to you, huh? It's like I said before, who you've defeated means nothing. It's who you haven't that defines you. And while I'm a guy who's lost a few matches to you, O'Dell and that Jussi fella, YOU'RE the guy who failed on two attempts, versus to different men with two different styles to capture XWA gold. So before you go wearing your wins over me like a badge of honor, think about the ones that got away, buddy boy.

Knowing his words would get under Alston's skin, Ryan waits...

[si]

Si scowls at Ryan. He speaks a heated response.

You think you sayin' somethin' eh homie??? You wanna bring up me losin' ta' the boy scout, Black Hercules and that loud mouth wanna be "king", huh? I'ma TELL you whas' gonna be predictable, son. The ASS WHOOPIN' I'ma serve ya' ass tonight. And this time, I'ma make sho' ya' bitch ass DON'T come back fa' mo'. I'ma BUS' THAT ASS, family. Fa' SHO!

With an angered look in his eyes, Si awaits the next response from Fierhart.

[ryan]

Ryan steps back from the ropes. He gives a satisfied nod before speaking...

Is that right? Well allow me to play spoiler tonight. Cuz what's gonna happen tonight is I'm gonna come down to this ring, then you're gonna come down here, and then I'm gonna proceed in BEATING YOUR ASS. Tht's how it's goin' down, "family". As a matter of fact, why wait? If you're so bad, Alston. Come get you some RIGHT NOW.

The crowd cheers loudly. Ryan drops his mic and takes the ready stands, invite Alston to get it on.

Ryan's fired up alright!!! C'mon Alston, you're such a big shot, let's see ya' man up!!!

He doesn't wanna wait, he's ready for war right now. Let's see is Alston puts his money where his mouth is.

[si]

As the crowd cheers on Ryan's bold action, Si grits his teeth in anger. He takes a look at his mic as if he was going to say something else, but instead throws it to the floor. The crowd's cheers grow even louder as it would seems he was on the way to meet Ryan in the center of the ring...


...But all wasn't as it seemed. Halfway down the walkway, Si stops dead in his tracks. With a sly smirk on his face, he raises his finger and gives the "not this time" motion with it. This gets him a hail of boos from the crowd. Still grinning, he backs up the walkway. He stops at the set and points to Ryan smack talking off mic before heading to the back.

[ryan]

Ryan shakes his head as Alston seemingly beats a retreat. As he heads back up the ramp, Ryan shoots some smack back at Alston from afar. As he disappears to the back, Ryan looks out to the crowd and nods before exiting the ring himself. This time, Ryan had to show and prove. This was a must win for him, and he'd be damned if he didn't come through in the clutch.
