Time To Show 'Em All (Risen/Stallion vs. Adams/Rider)

[Gravity]

The scene opens to the outside of the Ed Crosky Rec Center in Ocala, Florida. A limo pulls up to the front of the building, a swarm of WPW paparazzi waits outside. Kayne Risen steps out of the limo wearing a suit and sunglasses and forces his way through the crowd, grunting the occasional "Get out of my way" before getting to a podium at the head of the crowd. An unknown WPW official stands at the podium and speaks into the mic to the crowd.

"The official Kayne Risen introductory press conference will begin now, Kayne will be open to any questions the reporters have to ask."

The official moves out of the way and Kayne Risen steps up to the podium, removes the sunglasses and speaks loudly into the microphone.

"All right, let's get this shit over with"

The crowd lights up and hands shoot into the air quickly. Kayne rolls his eyes and points over at one of the reporters, who excitedly asks his question.

"All right, well first off, I guess what everyone's wondering is, why have you returned to wrestling full-time, in a clearly superior Federation?"

"Well, that's actually a fairly good question. See, like most guys, I myself thought I was down and out as PCW was on it's last legs. No one had ever seen anything terribly impressive out of me for quite a few months and I was pretty sure I didn't have anything left in the tank. But I figured, why the hell not give it one last go, get a fresh start? I mean, who's to say Kayne Risen doesn't have what it takes to make an impact in a new fed? Maybe a change of pace is just what I need."

Kayne points to another reporter, this time a middle aged woman, who speaks out her question.

"Um, ok, why exactly did you feel now was the time to get back in the ring, and are you regretting it now that you are 0-2 to start off your WPW career?"

"Well, at When Worlds Collide, it had seemed to me that I had a job to do. I had to help the Fed that I had been working with and had been loyal to for all that time. Now, I realized as the rest of you did, that I was quite a bit rusty and I got my ass handed to me by a better man that night. Now Jesse and I will always be companions, despite my reluctance to put up with the rest of mankind, but he was more ready that night than I was and I think I was expecting a much easier match. That said, I've gotten back in shape, cut some weight, and now I'm back in fighting form. I'm convinced that now is the time to get back."

"You didn't really answer my question..."

"Shut up and sit down, next question please."

"Ok Kayne, this week on Live you will be doing battle in a tag team match with the Florida State Champion. Do you believe that you can put yourself in the title picture with a win against him?"

"Well, obviously, I'd like to make a quick impact and get back into the spirit of winning titles, but a tag match would not have been my first choice. I am a man that works alone, and likes it that way. I'd prefer that stupid Ladies Man bitch in a one on one environment but clearly the WPW staff doesn't see things my way. I will seize this opportunity though, don't doubt it for a second, and I will do everything in my power to make sure Mykal Adams is pinned to the ground for three seconds....or longer I suppose. Ok, I'm done here."

Kayne Risen throws his sunglasses back on and steps away from the podium and into the building, despite the crowd wanting more from him. The WPW official steps back up to the podium.

"Next up we have Sky Rider who will be asking questions on why he wasn't mentioned at all just now."

Camera fades to paparazzi chatter.

[Chazz]

Mykal Adams is sitting in his dressing room. He is decked out in his wrestling attire, with his Florida State title belt sitting next to him on his right. He is staring across the room, his eyes fixiated on the door that leads to the hallway. Why he is doing this is unclear to us, but he does seem to be in deep thought. He looks up and sees the camerman is in the room with him. He looks into the camera lens and after a few seconds he returns his gaze back to the door.


Mykal: Weird. Weird...weird...weird. That is how I answered a question from a fan when I arrived here for Live. The question was, "How come me, the Florida State Champion, for the past two weeks, has been booked on LIVE and not on the main show TNT?" I answered, "It is weird come to think of it." But, then again, I never have cared about being booked on this show, or booked on that show. Or being booked for a big venue or a smaller one. That kind of crap has never bothered me. But, the general consensus on the message boards and at the water cooler is that I should be pissed off about not being booked on TNT, especially since I won a brutal fatal four way at WWC. In all honesty, I can that point of view. It's just that I don't share it. I'm more focused on the man who will attempt to take my title from me at Ruined Fate. That man is Gerard Carson. But he has to wait.....for now. Now, I am about to walk out that door (points to door he has been glaring at) and participate in a tag team match against a man I am very familair with in Stallion and a former PCW guy in Kayne Risen. Oh, and I have some partner that I have never met in Shy Rider. Weird. I guess now that our roster has grown, I should come to expect some "weird" booking manuevers from Carlos Gonzalez. In any case though, the match is booked and so I need to address it.


Mykal checks his boots and starts to look through his duffle bag for something. He finds and pulls out his trademark REVO shades. He puts them on and then continues, his gaze right back to the door.


Mykal: Interestingly enough, the only person to say anything about this match has been Risen. Now, this is a man who did make a name for himself over in PCW. Yet, so far, he has gotten off to a slow start in WPW. Risen, you talked about maybe a change of scenery would be good for you. I can understand this logic, and I might agree with you if.......if....I truly believed you were sincere about it. Listening to your press conference, it seemed to me that you were just going through the motions. Now, that might have worked in PCW, but it will get you nowhere here in WPW. You want to prove yourself, and you would love to do it at my expense. I mean, pinning the current Florida State Champion would boost you into the Florida title scene. However, I regret to inform you that pinning me is a tall order. And, if you look back at the last two months, I have defeated some of the best athletes in this business. Hell, I have had to win a triple threat and fatal four way matches just to be where I am right now. I said last week that some luck is involved, but that does not mean that I am a crappy wrestler. Your partner knows this. I beat his ass and made him almost go insane because of it. I know that Stallion would love nothing more than to beat me down in this tag match. But, he tried that before and he failed....miserably. Risen, you picked the wrong guy to try and jumpstart your career against. I can't speak for my partner. Hell, I don't even know the guy. But as far as I am concerned, if you wanted to prove yourself then you should have asked to face someone other than me. Sorry, but I have been through too much in the past two months to allow someone like you to beat me. Yeah. You HAD a good career in PCW. I won't take that away from you. But this isn't PCW......and I am not some fly by night wanna be who just so happens to be a Champion. My work speaks for itself. I don't have to brag about it. But, I want you to know that as far as you looking to jump start your WPW career at my expense......it aint gonna happen.


Mykal picks up his title belt, places over his left shoulder, and then looks into the camera lens.


Mykal: It is time. Time to walk out this door and show Risen and Stallion just how serious I am. Carson.....you and I have our date set in stone. But tonight is about showing why Mykal Adams is the Florida State Champion. Rider. Show up, or don't. I don't care. Parker abandoned me when he was supposed to be my partner, and I beat two men all by myself. Should you decide to show up, just know that I expect nothing less than your best. And you can take that to the bank.....BABY!


Mykal then turns, walks up to and then opens the door, and heads out as the scene fades.
