Patriot Games (Schlager)

[Xander Xavier Luther]

After Takedown returned from a break, the sound of XXL's new theme began to play and the fans in London cheered on hard as the big man from The Bronx stepped out from backstage. He waved to the crowd and high fived fans along the edge like most good guys do on his way to the ring.

Matt: XWA's unofficial ambassador as he called himself last week, Xander Xavier Luther steps into the ring tonight ladies and gentlemen, coming off of an impressive win against newcomer Sebastien Schlager. I bet you did know this Buzz...but Luther is actually one of the superstars who helps organize overseas shows for the company.

Buzz: Do you know who your talking to Goldie? I'm Buzz Berman...I know everything!!! Almost. But yeah...XXL's a real stand up guy, like he stood up to that Anti-American Schlager!

Last week at Ring Rage, I stood in this ring with a man who's got nothing but hate and discontent in his heart...and his name is Sebastien Schlager.

London throws a fit of boos at his name.

Now obviously, it doesn't matter what country your from because there are American who believe they're better that everyone else, there are British who believe they are better than anyone else. There are people like that all over the world.

But do you know what burns my butter the most about this guy? The fact that he's German. That country has a long standing history of hatred...not just towards people different from them, but towards each other as well! I mean...The Berlin Wall? C'mon! You would think that the people of Germany would have been working hard to if not erase, at least atone for the transgressions of their forefathers...and then here comes a guy like Schlager along to set all of that back!

The fans continued to boo, and now could be heard the chant "Sebastien Sucks" from them.

Matt: Obviously, Schlager is not a fan favorite here in England.

Sebastien, I know full well that your country does not share in your sentiment or your ideals, most of the people of your country anyway. That doesn't give you a right or an excuse to give the good people of Germany a bad name. You wrestle in the colors of your nation's flag as if you're proud to be from that country...but from what I saw last week, Germany doesn't have any reason at all to be proud of you.

If you've got a problem with that, why don't you come on down here and make something of it!

Lowering his mic, XXL stood in wait for Schlager to accept his invitation.

Sebastian comes out with a mic in hand, though his music doesn't play. He makes his way down to the ring by the giant chorus of boos from the audience. He walks down with a smirk on his face. Even though he lost to XXL, he still had plenty to smile about. He climbed up the steps and climbed into the ring. He walked up to XXL, showing that he wasn't afraid of the giant man.

Matt: Sebastian took quite a beating during that match. XXL must of done at least five of his finishers before he was able to put Sebastian down for the three count. As much as I don't want to admit it, Sebastian does have a lot of passion, a lot of fire in him. He's shown that he can go the distant even against big men like XXL, even if he is a complete asshole.

Buzz: Stop complimenting Schlager. He's an asshole and he needs to be gone from here. We won't tolerate his kind of behaviour.

The Americans make me sick. How can a country like theirs, believe that they're the best in the world when their country is failing to even support itself. Major companies going bankrupt, less and less jobs for people, less money for people to support themselves. they're fools to think that they can be a proud American in this waste. They have the rich that refuse to offer any aid to the poor. America is a greedy, corrupt country. The land of the free? It should be rewritten to the land of poverty. Because that's what you get when you go there and try to do things the right way, unless you're one of the lucky few.

Even though my country was part of one of the worst times in history, I can still be proud of what my country HAS accomplished. What has America accomplished lately? A few senseless wars from a paranoid government. You know who the Americans can learn from? Their northern neighbours, the Canadians. Look at all that they do, but more importantly, look at what they don't do. You don't see Canada trying to flex its military arm by creating senseless wars and causing unncessary fear so it can control it's own country. Thats how the world sees the American country and it is fucking PATHETIC!

My country is proud of me. I've been brought up to voice my opinion, no matter the content. I have the backbone to stand up and tell you what is wrong with America. But you XXL, your a sad, pathetic American that refuses to open his eyes to the autrocities that your country has done in the last 8 years. I won't deny that my country has done bad things, but at least I'm not an ignorant patriot like you are, like you believe all is well in the land of the free. You and people like you, do you know what you are doing to Lady Liberty? You are raping her and taking away all that she ever stood for. Because you people are too fucking patriot and proud to open your damn eyes and open your damn minds to the realities of YOUR OWN COUNTRY.[/b][/i]

The crowd boos loudly and begins to throw garbage at Sebastian. They are in complete awe of how he can just say the things that he is saying.

I am but one man XXL. I cannot simply set back the actions of my people. We can look at George W. Bush and look at his actions, since he is a man of importance. Who lead the country for 8 years and ran it into the ground. Bush set the American image back many many years. You're looked on as a Warmongering country. And the fact that you can be proud of that and sleep well at night, sickens me.

Have you actually been to my country and talked to every single person there? I highly doubt it. So you can't say that my country wouldn't agree with what I have to say. I am proud to wear the colours of my country. No matter what opinion I may voice, my country will be proud of me. There's nothing you or anyone else can do.

I can see that anger in your eyes XXL. You want to punch me and shut me the hell up, because you can't stand to see someone standing in front of you, putting down your oh so great country. Well if you want another match with me, so you can take out your frustrations, then you got your match. It sure as hell took you long enough to try to even get me pinned. I figured a big, strong guy like yourself would of had an easy time with me...oh wait, I'm not a slouch like the majority of the XWA locker room.[/b][/i]

Sebastian lowers his microphone, waiting for XXL's reply.

[Xander Xavier Luther]

The only thing you proved last week Schlager was how much of a glutton for punishment you are. Any other man would have known he was beaten, but you kept coming back for more instead of accepting the fact that you were done for from the second the bell rung.

XXL pauses for a moment and looks around to the crowd.

Now...there isn't anyone who's proud of what it was 'ol "Dubya" managed to do or not do. I'm a Black man from the Bronx, man...me? Support him? You must think that everyone in our country was all for what he was doing. There are fools out there who actually were, but there's people like that everywhere. Hell, there are plenty of people out there who think the same thing you do, but that sure as hell doesn't mean you're right. It doesn't even mean you know what you're talking about, but I don't blame you for not knowing anything though, you are just a tourist after all.

See, the only thing you know is what you see on the news. That's all people like you ever go by, what's fed into your absorbent little brains that you instantly take as what it is without so much as a second thought. What you fail to realize though is what truly makes my country, and countries like the UK special...

*cheap pop*

...and that's that we always stand up for what it right, and always stand up for what we believe in, no matter what that is or where it is. If Canada ever faced a threat to their way of being, they'd turn to their neighbors in the US and we'd stick our necks out for them the way that we have for many other places for hundreds of years.

We do not submit to any enemy. We stand up and fight, whether we win or we lose...and we sure as hell don't give in or give up. You can say all that you want about "blind patriotism" and all the rest of that, but if you can stand there and be proud of your nation despite it's atrocities and transgression, then damn it...so can I! If you can say that your country is proud of you, the damn it, so can I! The difference is that when I say, I know it's true...because even these people here in London...

*another cheap pop*

...know who I am and respect what I do and what I've done. That's something that you can say you have all you want, because you know as well as I do that you'll never be able to prove it.

Now, there isn't any place in the world that can call themselves perfect In every one of those places you have people who actually "do", and people who just "say". There are men and women who actually strive to make people's lives better, and there are people who just rant and rave as if it's going to do any good when it doesn't. I think we see which one you are.

I don't need to talk to every German to know that not everyone of them thinks the way that you think...because there are Americans who don't think the way that I think either. You know what you have in common with them though? The fact that all that you do is talk.

And for all of that hot air you stand out here and blow, just like last week, that's about all that you're good for. I don't care how many times you get up, all that does is give me more satisfaction in knocking you back down...and you will get knocked down again, Schlager.

[seb]

You can knock me down all you want Luther. You will never be able to keep me down. I will keep coming back for more. We Germans don't quit. So don't expect me to just walk away. You're going to have to break me completely, but even then I doubt that would keep me down. We'll see just how much you can dish out.[/i][/color]

And with that, Sebastian throws the microphone down and leaves the ring. He walks up the ramp with a smirk on his face as he looks at XXL. This second match between them would prove to be interesting.

~End~
