Gary King & Rachel Beckett

Gary King: They want me to do a sequel.

Rachel Beckett: A sequel, to "Death of a Salesman"? Doesn't he die at the end of the first?

Gary King: Yes, but he has a twin brother, and he wants revenge.

Rachel Beckett: Revenge? But, doesn't he kill himself?

Gary King: No, no, that's what you were led to believe. He was killed by the C.I.A for selling smack... to Nazis...

Rachel Beckett: Wow!

[Ninja/Killer]

"Rockafeller Skank" hits as out comes Zero,Connor Brody and Jamie Coleson the three students of Akuma Ninja. The three all wear black versions of their ring attire as they make their way into the ring.

Their three opponents are The Prankster brothers and AJ Miller.

DING DING DING

Coleson starts off with Prankster 1. They lock up but Coleson switches into an Arm Wringer. Prankster 1 goes under his arm and reverses with a Hammerlock. Coleson elbows out of it then snapmares Prankster 1 over. Prankster 1 gets on his feet as Coleson sweeps out his right leg and then tries an Elbow Drop but Prankster 1 moves out of the way. Coleson gets to his feet and tries a back elbow but Prankster 1 ducks under it and wraps his arms around Coleson's waist. Prankster 1 swings Coleson back but Coleson lands on his feet and hits Prankster 1 with a Jumping Knee. Coleson tags in Brody.

Coleson holds Prankster 1's arms as Brody hits a kick to the stomach. Prankster 1 doubles over as Brody hits a Swinging Neckbreaker. 1,2 shoulder up. Brody takes Prankster 1 off the mat and whips him to the ropes but Prankster 1 holds on as Prankster 2 makes a blind tag. Brody charges at Prankster 1 but Prankster 2 is on the top rope and comes off with a Cross Body block. 1,2 kickout.

Prankster 2 takes Brody off the mat and then clubs him hard on the back. Prankster 2 then lifts Brody up in an Atomic Drop position then drops him crotch first over the top rope. The ref backs Prankster 2 away as AJ Miller runs down the ring apron then hits Brody with a Hard Clothesline knocking him off the ropes and onto the mat. Prankster 2 covers 1,2 kickout. Prankster 2 tags in Miller. Miller enters the ring and immediatley starts stomping on Brody. Miller picks Brody up and body slams him to the mat. Miller climbs up to the top rope and flies off with a splash but Brody moves out of the way. Brody crawls over to his side and tags Zero.

Zero enters and meets Miller with a Leg Lariat. Zero gets up then delivers a right hand to Prankster 1 who's on the apron and Prankster 2 knocking him to the floor. Zero runs to the ropes as Brody makes a blind tag. Zero then jumps over the ropes hitting a Suicide Dive on the Pranksters. Coleson enters the ring as Miller gets to his feet. Coleson fires some hard slaps to Miller's face then winds up and goes for the Spinning Back Fist but Miller ducks and hits an Enziguri to the side of Coleson's head. Miller gets Coleson in a Powerbomb position but Brody gets to his feet and hits Miller with a Superkick. Coleson gets free then hits a Spinning Back Fist to Millers head knocking him out. Coleson covers 1,2,3!!!

DING DING DING

Brody,Zero and Coleson stand in the ring victorious. Legacy cuts to the backstage.

[Ninja/Killer]

A Damn is backstage with Angelica Demonica. Angelica wears a Red Dress and Black Boots.

A Damn:Angelica, we haven't seen Akuma Ninja for weeks now, seeing as your his closest friend in the company, we want to know where he's at?

Angelica:I can't tell you where Ninja is right now, but I can tell you that wherever he maybe he's preparing himself to end the existence of Soul Reaper. Reaper you should know better then anyone, just how hard Ninja will fight back when someone thinks they have him up against the ropes. You've played these games with him the last few months, but be rest assured that he will come back and he will make you pay the most severe of consequences. You can only laugh for so long Reaper, then the bells will start towling for you.

Angelica walks away as Legacy goes to a commercial.

[Blade]

-- The camera switches to the ringside commentary table where Gary King and Rachell Beckett are standing by... --

Gary King:
Tonight's main event is a blockbuster with NIN Horror defending his ELITE World Heavyweight Championship against Crusher Casey. Will NIN find a way to beat the refocused and aggressive Casey?

Rachel Beckett:
No! Casey is going to tear NIN apart and bring that belt home to The Uprising. Crusher Casey, World Champion, has a nice ring to it...

--The babbling of the commentary team is interrupted by the sound of static filling the arena. The camera pans around to look up at the stage, the screens also covered in static. The lights in the arena shut out, plunging the room into darkness as the static continues. With a sudden explosion of pyro the euphoric words blast from the PA system.--

[/i]

"IT IS, THE END OF ALL HOPE"

--The lights in the arena come back on. Blade is standing on the stage, a hood obscuring most of his face. Surrounding him are the Heretics, although notably less than at Supershow #2. Blade walks past the Heretics and heads down to the ring, the Heretics following closely behind. Around him, the fans show their displeasure at the former FHT Hardcore champion. Blade simply ignores them as he reaches the ring. He climbs up the steel steps and into the ring. Most of the Heretics surround the ring, while one climbs in after Blade and hands him a mic, before retreating to join his Brothers and Sisters. Blade stands in the centre of the ring and talks into the mic.--

Blade:
Max! Once again, I am here to restate my offer to you. Join us; this is where you belong, alongside your brothers and sisters. You know it deep down that we are your home, closer than family. The Heretics wouldn’t even be around if it wasn’t for us both. We were so...breathtakingly original; we captivated the minds of that small demographic, those who were sick of the run of the mill bullshit. They watched us every week; they began to form together on internet forums and outside the locker rooms. They loved us, and they wanted to be our eyes and ears. I granted their wish, but we do not feel complete. Only with you can we reach the height of our power and effectiveness. I know you’re not here tonight, but I know your see what I’m saying. Consider it if you must, but your destiny is written and we know your answer. Do not delay and join our ranks.

-- Blade looks to the outside of the ring, at the Heretics assemble who seem to be nodding their encouragement to their ‘leader’.--

Blade:
Now, onto the matter at hand. A few weeks ago, I intended to send a message by taking down the owner of this company. Due to his inaction, he allowed this war to spiral out of control. The fact he has sold his shares is of a small consequence, Sir Alan may be a great businessman but he has no place running a wrestling organisation. However, it has proven more....troublesome...than I had anticipated. When those shares were sold, I had a futile hope we would get a responsible owner who I could work with to cull the resistance, the war. But instead, we get Ace Fucking Andrews. The Uprising now has full control over the company. I will not stand for this. You dare ignore us? You dare ignore the warnings? DEFYANCE HAS A PRICE! Sentience, has everything been prepared?

– The arena goes completely quiet, the audience seeming confused as Sentience is not with Blade in the ring. Suddenly, the sound of static fills the arena again. Blade turns towards the screen as the static ends and the scene shows Sentience and Harley from last week standing in front of the production truck. --

Sentience:
I’m insulted you even need to ask that my friend. Although, I do have something to say about our new ‘boss’ before we continue. Earlier on, you made the accusation that I was the puppet master, and Blade was but a tool. I beg the question, have you not been paying attention? I am simply the voice of the Heretics, an extension of our desires. But Blade, he is our inspiration. Without him, we wouldn’t be together at this point. However, we are all as one and are equal, a concept you will never be able to understand due to your greed.

--Harley places her hand on Sentience’s shoulder and steps between him and the camera, facing him. --

Harley:
Ok that’s enough of that, we are wasting valuable time. Let us get the party started!

Sentience:
Yes Harley, your right.

--Harley walks off camera as Sentience once again address the camera.--

Sentience:
Ace, and indeed the rest of you, are about to get just a small taste of the power we hold and the devastation and chaos that we can bring upon you. Your announcement was, quite frankly, unexpected. Either way, our following actions would have taken place but now we have more reason to do what we must.

--Behind Sentience, Harley reappears in the shot leading a handful of the masked Heretics. She climbs up the steps to the door of the production truck, opens the door and disappears inside, quickly followed by the Heretics. As the commotion can be heard from inside, Sentience pays it no attention and continues.--

Sentience:[/color]
There is something you should know about us, or more specifically the Heretics. The masks, they serve a particular purpose for our brothers and sisters. We all come from different walks of life, different cultures, different financial backgrounds, and different professions. As our name suggests, our members chose to remain anonymous, to further assist us in our efforts, but also to feel equal among those who may be better or worse in their regular lives. The only solid aspect of the Heretics is the faith they have in our ideals and prospects.[/font]

--Without warning, a member of the production team comes rolling down the steps of the production truck. A masked Heretic follows, pulls the staff member up from the floor and drags him out the shot. This is quickly followed by other members of the Heretics dragging the staff from the truck and taking them off to the side. Lastly Harley appears, walks down the steps and walks off the same side. The camera attempts to follow, catching a glimpse of various staff members being restrained with zip cuffs. But before more can be shown, Sentience grabs the camera and re-centres it back on himself.--

Sentience:[/color]
That is none of your concern. As a result of the diversity of the Heretics, everyone has a talent that can be used for the greater good. At times these skills may not considered to be special, but to the Heretics we see these talents as being extraordinary. Everyone has the ability to contribute to our efforts. And now, we take the production truck for our own. The benefit of having such talented follower’s, is that we can now run this show. Let all who are looking upon us, know we now run this show![/font]

--Sentience turns and walks up the steps leading to the door of the Production Truck. Behind him, Harley walks back into the frame, leading the Heretics, and follows Sentience inside. The door slams shut as the camera switches back to Blade in the ring. He is sitting on the top of one of the turnbuckles, an insane grin on his face, chuckling to himself.--[/i]

Blade:
Heheh..Well done my friend.

--Blade jumps down from the turnbuckle and paces around the ring, before stopping in the dead centre.--

Blade:
Yes, as Sentience has just informed you, we now run the show. However, unlike most situations like this we will not be using this opportunity to place practical jokes on the “talent”...well, maybe one. What we will be doing, is holding this show fucking hostage. Ace Andrews, this is your only warning. If you wish this show to survive, you will sell every share you currently hold in this company. For if you don’t, we will take that truck, plant a bomb inside and blow it into so many little pieces even Dijons kids won’t be able to sell it for scrap to make up for lost child support payments. We will end this broadcast, the question you have to consider is when and will you be in time to stop us! We will prevent this war from continuing. Pacifism is an outdated concept, only action will prevail. In the words of Machine Heads Robb Flynn; “LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST”*

--”End of all Hope” by Nightwish hits the PA system once again. Blade drops the mic to the matt and heads towards the ropes. The Heretics head around to the bottom of the ramp, eyes remaining on their ‘leader’. Blade lifts his arm and points up towards the stage. In turn, each member of the Heretics turns and walks solemnly up the ramp way. As the last one begins to leave, Blade climbs out from the ring and heads up the ramp himself. The crowd jeer him incessantly as he walks, yet Blade continues to smile insanely, as if enjoying the verbal beatings. As Blade disappears behind the curtain, FHT/ELITE Legacy cuts to commercial.--

[The F'N Legend Lbm]

BONKERS [Dizzy Rascal] hits...[/color]

Pyrotechnics explode throughout the arena as they do each and every week, as Dizzy Rascal plays loud signalling the arrival of the longest reigning FHT Hardcore Champion of all time, The F'N Legend Lbm!

Lbm stands on the huge metal ramp way soaking up the crowd as he begins to walk down towards the ring. Lbm circles the ringside smacking hands with the fans grabbing a microphone from Jayne McNeal and jumping up onto the apron and climbing up on the rope.

Lbm holds the FHT Hardcore Championship high above his head showing it off before jumping back down into the ring and waiting for his music to fade. As his music fades a huge "LBM... LBM... LBM" chant breaks out.[/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: I guess this makes me the only champion around here who has bothered to show up this week... AGAIN! The big scandal in the UK right now, is all these politicians who are making all these bogus expenses claims all the while the tax payer is footing the bill! I guess thats kinda how it is for the superstars of the FHT/ELITE!

You hard working fans pay the money to buy tickets, pay per views & merchandise all the while the wrestlers get their pay packet and sit at home with their championship belts that each and every week mean less and less! These champions around they disgust me! These so called legends who show up out of nowhere one week promising to do big things enticing you fans to tune in the following week - only to not have them even bother to show up!

I personally feel its disgusting! A guy like Soul Reaper... unquestionably at one time the absolute BEST in this company - a man that was legitimately the most well known and respected grappler connected with FHT or ELITE - well in 2009 Soul Reaper has clocked in for work less than Trey "The Dude" Spruance. But hey at least we now know... that when this company returns to pay per view (which is questionable)!

Fourteen weeks of the greatest rivallary known to man concludes as Akuma Ninja FINALLY faces off against Soul Reaper in a match that quite frankly none of us care about! No disrespect to Ninja cause he's a great guy and an even greater wrestler - but seriously does a guy spending all of his time training a bunch of "not over in the slightest" jobbers really deserve to be FHT Undisputed Champion?!?

The crowd boo Lbm a little for knocking Akuma Ninja! Lbm shrugs his shoulders at the fans![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: I calls them like I sees it!!! Hell our other champion ain't much better! NIN Horror don't bother to show up anymore either! In 2007 he unified the ELITE Daredevil and ELITE Worldwide championships in spectacular style! In 2008 he revolutionized ELITE with the ELITE Global Honored Crown and modesty aside - was involved in the feud of the year!

But in 2009 when FHT/ELITE takes off again and has this unbeatable run - NIN Horror finally wins the belt in a match where his opponent doesnt even show up?!? Fucking pathetic! I'm no Uprising fan but Max Venom should just have wiped the floor with you NIN Horror! As far as tonite goes... NIN Horror vs Crusher Casey?

Without Lbm to carry each of these two morons - well you fans are in for a long long night with probably no promo build up from either of them (if they do chances are it'll be about everything but the match) and if... IF they finally do show up and actually do face off in a match... well heres £500 bucks that says we won't be seeing a new ELITE Heavyweight Champion tonite!

The crowd chant "LBM... LBM... LBM" as the FHT Hardcore Champion seems to be in fun form tonite! Lbm applauds the crowd.[/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: As for the Crusher Casey & The Fizz porno tape we discovered last week. Truth be told now that actually gave Crusher Casey an "idea" making that two he's had in the past four years now since he's been here so hopefully now in the next week/month/year - he'll expand that on that and actually produce something about it! And we'll quietly sweep the entire Fizz/Casey love connection under the carpet because they are both just happier doing something uninteresting in their role as Uprising fodder! Makes sense!

Speaking of which... for the second time in his short career here. The almighty one half of the FHT/ELITE Tag Team Champions Max Venom has gone walk about once again which just makes me ever so glad I didn't bother wasting my time getting in the ring with him! Stone Cold... if your watching (he ain't - he never does)... you shouldn't bothered with that little one off! As for the hush hush *SPOILER ALERT* proposed Ace Andrews feud - I'd maybe sit that one out too cause you know he's enjoying his little UFC computer game way too much!

Ace "51% Majority Shareholder" Andrews shook the very foundations of FHT/ELITE to the core last week as did his very first booked card in charge of this place! Ace is so loving this new boss role he's got round here that well he barely bothered to show up for his own main event match last week and has been "thinking" about showing up for the past three days here tonite! Seems like Acey has really hit on a grand vision. The only positive is this week's card Ace forgot to book is actually better than last week's card he remembered to book!

Ash Strife dropping out when he was about to enter his best programme to date with a pyshopathic genius as always Reverend Daddy Joe... What a squandered mis-oppurtunity! Joeseph my man... you deserve better! I think that covers The Uprising!?!

Lbm struts like Ric Flair doing a WOOO off microphone as he finishes his tirade on The Uprising! Lbm is smiling from ear to ear obviously having fun at everyone's expense![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: Okay I've pissed off Reaper, Ninja, NIN, Casey, Max, Fizz, Ash, Ace... who's next?! Dark Angel!!! My good buddy through thick and thin! Reece buddy if your watching or even lurking "offline" as you like to do when the heat is on! Congratulations cause your fitting in with the rest of the champions just great! I can't believe you took to it so quickly! Keep up the good work brother!!!

And as for "Sick" Nick/Keith Williams... well you know what - these are two of my fucking favorite people personally and two of my fucking favorite people to watch in this ring and I can not wait to see what they have got planned tonite, next week and so on! I bet they weren't expecting that one?!? If the rest of these part timers are too damn ignorant to acknowledge it - fuck them - cause I ain't and I'm looking forward to Big A$$ Extreme Bash!

So lets talk tonite... while we're waiting (its gonna be long one folks) for Crusher Casey and NIN Horror to come out here and entertain us! I don't got any plans for tonite! Like I said when FHT/ELITE returned in 2009 - I've come out tonite and I have thrown it all at the wall and gonna see what sticks! I have been FHT Hardcore Champion over six months and wrestled on this show EVERY FUCKING WEEK!!!

Tonite will be the same... I'm daring anyone in the back (well not Blade I can't be arsed with that... sorry Ben - its okay he'll be scrolling down this looking for a potential mention so he'll see only this and move on). I'm daring anyone in the back to come out here and start something! Anything! I am issuing an open challenge tonite. I don't care if its Satan who when I asked for a match three weeks ago and simply replied "NOPE". I don't care if its CAN'T WORK/WON'T WORK Soul Reaper.

Hell bring on the Ninja! Lets get Fizz into the ring and we'll share some colas! I'll face Reverend Daddy Joe in a Loser gets decapitated by a chainsaw on a pole match! I'll face Stone Cold in a "I'm retired but still think I got one last match in the tank AGAIN" match. Hell bring out "Sick" Nick and we'll do the ultimate battle of the longest reigning/1st hardcore champion versus the most reigns/arguably best ever hardcore champion!?! I don't care...

The crowd are cheering and applauding all the references and challenges Lbm is issuing out here! Lbm is smiling and is just enjoying himself.[/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: Come on... anybody! I am just dying to end this promo in this ring right now with something totally unexpected happening! This programme needs something - anything entertaining to happen here right now! So lets close this one. I'm gonna to put down the microphone and I'm gonna stand here and wait for a "... ... ...'s Music hits..." Lets go...

Lbm puts down the microphone and stands in the ring. The fans are going crazy with anticipation as Lbm stands there waiting! A huge "LBM... LBM... LBM" chant breaks out as we see different shots of fans screaming different wrestlers names on who they wanna see...[/color]

take it boys & girls...[/size]

[Max Venom]

Don't Lie To Yourself, It Gave You Pleasure...
OH MY GOD OH MY-

The fans go berserk in sheer anticipation as “Demonoid Phenomenon” hits and out strides one half of the FHT/ELITE Tag Team Champions Max Venom, as Lbm stands in the ring, looking slightly surprised but ready. Venom practically throws his sunglasses down on the floor and there's no trace of his usual smirk as he takes a microphone off the announcer table and steps into the ring with Lbm.

Max Venom: Oh, its been a long time coming, Mr F'n Legend.

Lbm and Venom are eye-to-eye as the crowd are just soaking in this moment, with arguably the promotion's greatest icon facing off against the leader of the Uprising. Lbm mockingly invites Venom to continue on.

Max Venom: I'll admit, you put the bait out here, and I've taken the bite. Another “successful victim” of the Lbm shoot. So I suppose its my cue to walk out here and call you an attention-seeking, egocentric, manipulative, two-timing, backstabbing, cheating son of a bitch. I might then point out that I took a fully authorized absence of one show to tend to personal matters, and its really not my fault or my concern if the rest of you guys can't manage to pull one show out of your asses in my brief departure. I might also note that the real draw in Stone Cold vs. Max Venom was not the tired old beer-drinking redneck act, but the new, dynamic, show-stealing saviour of this promotion, so the only one wasting his time there was me. I finally may also end up pointing out that you've beaten Ace Andrews, Crusher Casey, Trey Spruance and Ash Strife, all members or former members of the Uprising for that Hardcore Title, but the fact is... You've never beaten me.

The fans just continue to get more hyped up as the tension rises in the ring and unheard words are exchanged between Lbm and Max Venom, with Lbm holding up his FHT Hardcore title.

Max Venom: I won't though. I really don't care what you've got to say about me. See, that doesn't piss me off because you might hate me, but you know this place is dead without me, so watching you choose your words carefully is entertainment in itself. See, what pisses me off, what got me out here tonight is nothing you've said about me... Its what you've not said. Its what week-in and week-out you take credit for. See, most people just fade in and out when you start your little rambles about your accomplishments, but I listened. You seem to be really mistaken what year you're in, old man. This is 2009, this is FHT & ELITE together in some merged monstrosity barely functioning as a cohesive unit due to rivalries that everyone rational stopped caring about years ago... This isn't about the Davids, the Reverend Daddy Joes, the Blues, the “classic” Venom... Its all been about me. From start to finish, I've been the most important man on this roster, and it pisses me off that you've stood in this ring each week and claimed differently.

Lbm denies this, hoisting a hand in the air to get crowd support as if this provides evidence to the contrary. Venom looks at him, unimpressed.

Max Venom: “Lbm created Crusher Casey”. No, you left Crusher Casey out to rot, just like the rest of the veterans. I was the one who found him, brought him into the Uprising and gave the monster a purpose. All you did was get your ass kicked by him a couple times, so congrats on that I guess, and ducked out of any final confrontation. “Lbm saved Dark Angel”... Your best buddy? Please. The only reason Dark Angel is currently on a bed, likely coughing his lungs out while holding the Global Honored Title is because of me and how I elevated him to my level during the Glass Ceiling Cage match. You just tagged along to make lame jokes about sex tapes and ancient FHT lore. “Lbm brought back Stone Cold”. Yes kids, remember when Lbm went to that autograph signing and spat in Stone Cold's face? Remember at the Supershow when Lbm had the best match of the night with Austin? Remember how Lbm made a two-week feud work basically on his own? Wait, no, Max Venom abbreviated doesn't make Lbm! My mistake! “Lbm made FHT/ELITE work again”. The single statement that pisses me off the most. There's one reason FHT/ELITE isn't already some faded memory in some fanboy's mind: The Uprising. Now, I know it was a while ago, but who was it who started the Uprising up? Oh, I know! It was-

Suddenly Venom is interrupted by Lbm knocking the microphone out of his hand. The roaring crowd is quickly reduced to a quiet hum as the two men lock eyes again. Venom slowly backs off, raising his hands in mock innocence. Lbm doesn't drop his guard, as the two men stand in the ring...

[ooc: again, accepting anyone to just wander in and cause some chaos]

Venom slowly backs off, raising his hands in mock innocence. Lbm doesn't drop his guard, as the two men stand in the ring... Lbm picks it up![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm: ... IT WAS ME!!! I STARTED THE UPRISING!!! Not you!!! Yeah you lead it from the start right up until about a week and a half ago when Ace Andrews took all your hard work and crapped all over it! But Max aside from picking a nifty name - your role in the starting of The Uprising was following my example and running with it! I created it all!

Fourteen weeks ago, when FHT/ELITE returned on television all you were Max Venom was some little known Apprentice fan who had up until that point shown only tiny morsel of talent when he was matched against Dark Angel and somehow found himself as one half of the FHT/ELITE Tag Team Champions! You didnt just show up that night and think to yourself... Hmmm lets start a stable! No Max Venom on that night you showed up in a little segment bragging about no showing a match up with Dark Angel some two months before!

That night I fought Trey Spruance in the main event while you once again "sat that one out", much like you've done most weeks and espically like you done last week! When Lbm/Spruance spilled out of that ring we went to the "newbie" locker room were lets be honest - all of the FHT/ELITE guys who just couldnt make it happened to get dressed together!

If that fight hadn't of gone into that locker room... if I like so many others, I had decided not to compete on that night and sit it out would that moment when Max Venom, Ace Andrews, Ash Strife, Crusher Casey & Andre Rousimoff were all seen together on camera for the first time ever have actually happened! Probably not Max! And that Max Venom was the birth of The Uprising!!!

Lbm stands eyeballing Max Venom in the centre of the ring now as the fans are loving this impromptu moment![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm:[/b] You know what it is though Max! In all honesty - you're good! But the fact is this entire concept... The Uprising!!! It's flawed! It just doesn't work! Thats why it's failing and dying right now! Your main gripe - the ultimate belief you Uprising guys (well whats left of you) share is that each and everyone of you have been screwed and held back by the "veterans" of this great company! And thats wrong Max!

I look at the guys in The Uprising and every single of them hasn't been held back - hell they been given chance after chance and every time they've failed! Ash Strife unified the FHT Hardcore & FHT Television Championship in 2007/2008! He took five years of history and made a huge mark on it! He wasn't held back - he worked hard and beat "Sick" Nick in a great match up that was a huge big deal! Ash made it! But he fucked it up... he was on top and he lost interest, jobbed out to me and waited for another oppurtunity to come his way again! 12 months he spent doing nothing because he was too lazy to go out and achieve something!

Ace Andrews... breaking the glass ceiling? Ace captured the ELITE Heavyweight Championship in his third month here! Aside from the 1st ELITE Heavyweight Champion - no one had done that! Ace Andrews did in a few months what Dark Angel, Blade, Blue and so many other ELITE legends never have done and he did it in ultra quick time! Is this an example of someone who ain't been given a shot at breaking the glass ceiling?!? Ace shattered it and then proceeded to take that huge oppurtunity and flaked out! Ace bombed spectacularly on the big stage!

Crusher Casey? Four years he was here... We held him back?!? Lets be brutally honest here. Casey zoned and zoned out for four years. He'd show up one week and then disappear and return a month and a half later! Title oppurtunities? Casey was a risk in the ring that no one wanted to take! He botched moves, he was a liability. But even then - he was given chances. The big clown was put with Shaggy 2 Dope to work as a tag team and Blue and had 2 very good successful reigns as a tag team champion. Hell Blue/Casey were the longest reigning ELITE Tag Team Champions ever! But at the end of the day - the only thing preventing Crusher Casey from making it on his own and as a singles champion... it wasn't me or anyone else - it was himself!

Not that I even really have to defend it. When The Fizz received a standing ovation and got a 20 minute cola bash a few weeks ago despite coming back heel and having never actually gotten more than 1 match in her four/five previous debuts with ELITE - well I think you can realise why she never "made it" here in FHT/ELITE! Despite that... the fact that she ain't even paid attention since her "cola bash". She still has been given another chance here! And then you Max Venom! What is your belief "you've never been given an oppurtunity while the legends of this company sit and hold onto their spots".

Weren't you a tag team champion pretty early on in your career? Weren't you allowed to run your crappy little Apprentice schtick on a weekly basis and not booked in any challenging match which might make you look bad and hand you a defeat early on? You see we could have stuck you out there and in the ring with a veteran from the start - but all it would have done was expose your limitations. If we were like any other fed out there - you've have lost within weeks and probably wouldnt have recovered. No we give you time and space and hell you got a title run and even got booked in a match on the biggest ppv of the year which you decided to sit out!

The crowd are cheering loving the change in Lbm's mood now as he stands nose to nose with Max Venom! Max glares at Lbm who is not backing up![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm:[/b] The fact your cause is bullshit aside Max Venom. Some of the stuff you have done and said. I'll be honest it's been entertaining! Its actually been quite good! And I don't deny it - we got ourselves a problem with two world champions that dont deserve shit! But Max Venom lets look at The Uprising now all these weeks later!

Its fallen to shit! Given the spotlight with two champions who don't do shit and with the show being bigger and better than ever. Remember when you came up with that earthshattering idea Max for The Uprising to take control of the show! That was inspired - straight out of WCW circa 98 and TNA 2009. The show featuring The Uprising bombed! Your big journey to the ELITE Heavyweight Championship? As you sat at the top of the card... the entire live crowd got bored and 10% of the arena emptied by the time you guys come on!

Look at your Uprising. How motivated are they all now following your lead? What a career transformation Ash Strife has had as a member of The Uprising? He just walked out when he had the biggest legend - the creative genius that is Reverend Daddy Joe for a second time willing to work with him!? Ace Andrews just became "51% majority shareholder". From the fact you came out here and ain't even mentioned it - I can tell just how much you love that notion!

Max Venom... the big revolutionary! Saving the FHT/ELITE and carrying its show despite only being in that ring what four or five times in all these weeks! Max Venom every single week I wrestle on this show! Every single week I take another wrestler and I have a match with him ultimately giving that person exposure they otherwise wouldnt get!

The veterans that you hate so much that no one cares about? Well Max Venom if there were no veterans here anymore - if we all stepped aside after spending years making this federation what it is today... what would you do with it? Would you Ace and Ash all argue over who has more authority in this company? Hell I doubt anyone would pay the live ticket to tune in and watch The Fizz take on Max Venom or Ace Andrews vs Crusher Casey? Fuck that!!!

"LBM... LBM... LBM" chants call out throughout the arena as Max Venom starts to remove his cufflinks and unbuttons his shirt. Lbm drops the FHT Hardcore Championship and takes off his t-shirt now![/color]

The F'N Legend Lbm:[/b] Come on... hit me...

Max Venom goes to strike Lbm when...[/color]

[Crusher Casey]

When suddenly "HELLS BELLS" by AC\DC hits and the fans errupt in a very loud continuios roar of BOO"S...and out walks Crusher Casey with a mic in hand and the Fizz by his side....

CC:WOAH MAX..JUST HOLD IT RIGHT THERE....NO ONE WILL BE HITTING LBM, NO ONE BUT ME !!!!! YOU SEE LBM YOU ARE MINE, YOU'VE HELD THAT TITLE FOR SO LONG ....AND THE REAL REASON IS THERE HAS BEEN NO COMPATITION FOR YOU....I WILL TAKE YOU TO SUCH A LEVEL THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE..THERE WILL BE MORE PAIN THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE,BLOOD WILL BE NON STOP, YOU WILL BEG ME TO END IT FOR YOU...BUT YOU NOW WHAT IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU FEEL THE SAME PAIN THAT I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH.....SO MAX IF YOU WOULD DON'T HIT HIM..OR ELSE..SO IF YOU WANT TO TEMPT FATE THEN HIT HIM......
{The crowd starts to chant HIT HIM,HIT HIM...Casey just grins, and the Fizz laughs..}

CC: SO WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE LBM...I'M CALLING YOU OUT FOR OUR MMA MATCH, YOU THINK YOU ARE ALL THAT ..WHEN.....

LBM looks a little worried, and Max seems to be pissed right now, but Casey awaits LBM's answer.....

[Reaper]

Inside the Fire by Disturbed hits and out walks Soul Reaper to the main stage with a mic in hand and belt over his shoulder. The people that were getting excited for the fight and cheering all turn to boos that the fight is being held off.

Reaper:"Sorry to interrupt you love birds, but this bullshit is an insult and part of the reason for the lack of participation in most of the people you all claim to be helping out or holding back. Whichever side of the fence you're on, it doesn't matter, because all you two ass hats have done consistently is alienate the entire company and throw everybody under the bus to make both YOU TWO look like you made this place what it is. The fact of the matter is that Max Venom... YOU have been a complete and udder failure at getting the job done with your group of people. You claim to have led this major Uprising of the fallen and helpless, but what have they accomplished? You have held the tag titles, but nobody has wanted those bad boys for like 3 years now. Its disgusting. Ash Strife is or was the commissioner or whatever, but he never once EVER, really forced anybody to do anything and while he did acquire some gold, he lost it to one the most disappointing "Big Names" in this business in Dark Angel. Other people that have been failing despite being under your command are Crusher Casey, who has been given opportunities time and time again to become Hardcore champion and failed. And its not like its difficult really, you're allowed to cheat and win.. its not rocket science here. Yeah, thats right Crusher, simple stuff here. The Fizz, well, I ran into you at P2PW back when we were still running and you never broke through... many reasons for that, but nobody really cares anymore. And then you have the ever present Ace Andrews... who after having an ELITE Heavyweight Championship run, basically buckled under the pressure and now here he is today. Apparently the majority stockholder, but other than that he's got nothing. The Uprising is crumbling because of high expectations that were never met. And to boot, Max all you ever really do is run your mouth. You don't even fight for your cause really and thats not even going into the fact that you're an absentee half the time. Max, face it, you either need to step up your game a little bit, or step the fuck aside already.

And LBM, wipe that stupid ass, shit eating grin off of your face, because YOU are the reason some of the vets don't like showing up anymore either. Week after week you come out here and you say you're helping the product by competing, but the truth of the matter is that you are basically giving us the Triple H treatment. Its not even a question when you fight if you're going to win, its a matter of how long its going to take you to put yourself over. Remember when I told you that nobody cared about the Hardcore title anymore... well its still true. And do you want to know why? Its because YOU are holding it and keeping it away from people that it would help elevate. LBM, you've been here for years and its amazing to me how much people just simply hate you and everything you do. But for the most part, its justifiable. I mean honestly, aside from the tag titles you are holding the lowest of the low belt there is. And don't give me any shit about no opportunities because you could have easily taken the ELITE belt whenever from Trippy P, but didn't. As far as this FHT belt, well since Ninja can't even bother showing up, I don't understand why you never inserted yourself like you typically do. Come on, I even gave everybody an equal shot at the title when I laid down the open challenge. Funny how you never showed up to say anything. But then again neither did this other guy in there with you. The reason people don't like you LBM is because you don't tell it like it is at all. You tell it the way you THINK it is, and to be honest, when it comes to whats going on in this business, you don't know your ass from your elbow. You come out here and you run down every champion we have, which by the way is killing the ratings, and when we see you out here pimping yourself out and making everybody else on this show look like crap, well we don't bother to show up to see how well you can operate on your own. Bang up job you're doing too, I mean, theres been no fresh blood coming in, theres been no big shows getting any viewers and these seats are getting more and more empty as the week goes on.

But hey, who gives a shit right? Afterall, all FHT and ELITE has come down to is who has a bigger dick between LBM and Max Venom anyways. Theres no real stories anymore. Hell Sick Nick came back, but nobody bothered to give half a shit because you two morons have killed every major running feud in favor of putting yourselves at the top. Its a joke with you guys, all you BOTH ever do is bitch and complain. Its like you're the same person sometimes, which would make sense overall seeing as how you both can't ever put yourself to the side and help somebody else make a name for themselves. Which is why, I think, you've both neglected to even recognize that Blade is going to come after one or both of you sometime very soon with his new group of nobodies. Hell, the Heretics is the only fresh thing going on in the company right now, and you guys are basically going to bury the idea because you're so fucking pathetic and think its only about you. The thing is, you two have both failed at this big over top scheme of a war because your recruiting skills suck. Max has more people behind him than LBM, but he isn't using that power. LBM could have all the help he ever wanted, but he keeps burning those bridges so nobody wants to help him. Then you have Blade, whos got the the easiest win of all with you two just focusing on eachother, but instead of really pulling the trigger, he's trying to talk Max into joining him.

Its funny, though, when I see whats going on right now, I see a storyline that we all saw sometime ago. The wonderful Invasion angle that Vince McMahon did after he bought WCW. You see, LBM represents WWE, Max is WCW, and Blade is ECW. We all saw how badly that angle bombed out, but as bad as that was... you guys aren't even living up to that lackluster performance. This thing could have been a major war if Max could have found some new people to recruit and fight and if LBM could have actually tried to make friends for once to help his cause. Case in point, me. I've sat on the sidelines and I've sympathized with Max's cause, because I've been saying it for years. Yet on the other hand, I saw who Max was running with and most of them don't even deserve dark matches let alone title matches, and while you were both blasting me for shits and giggles, you could have just as easily asked me to fight for you. And then after I gave up on that, I basically ran both of you down while Blade was being cryptic and he could have come to me and gotten a real name to put his group into focus for you two to see, but he didn't and so his feeble attempts to get noticed as a threat are failing miserably. So where does that leave us now? Well you both need a serious wake up call and an ass kicking to boot. And since you two fuckwads can't just get it over with and either have a team brawl or a one on one show down, I guess it'll never actually end. So instead, since I'm bored and have nothing going on at all, per the usual. Why don't I just challenge both of you idiots to a three way match just so that you actually do something worth while and it'll force you to fight eachother for once instead of flapping your gums aimlessly, and if you want to play to Crusher, by all means go ahead. You know where to find me, I don't hide.

Reaper drops his mic and stares into the ring at both Max and LBM.

[Crusher Casey]

Casey is looking over at Reaper at what he just said, Casey looks at the Fizz and just shakes his head, Casey raises the mic...

CC: You have got to be kidding me Reaper, REAPER did you hear me...{Reaper seems to be ignoring Casey}

CC: I hate to break up this little LOVE stare thing you have going on right now...so REAPER LOOK AT ME..{Casey shoves the Reaper, Reaper spins and glares at Casey}

CC: Now that I have your attention, you just said that you wanted me, I don't think I heard you..and if I heard right then I want you tonight...{ The Fizz whispers in Casey's ear...Casey turuns to her and tells her not to worry about it}

CC: Fizz just reminded me that I have a match tonight with NIN Horror for the Title, but I need a warm up match , I want you TONIGHT....TITLE- NON TITLE I DON'T CARE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT HAS TAKEN ME TO GET HERE, FOR 4+ YEARS EVERYONE HERE IGNORED ME, YOU ALL THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOTHING..NEWS FLASH. I'M STILL HERE AND I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE, FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE GONE THREW HELL, I HAVE BATTLED CANCER AND WON, ELITE/FHT TOLD ME I COULD NOT COME BACK WITHOUT CLEARENCE, THE DOCTOR WOULD NOT CLEAR ME, BUT I BEGGED HIM TO CLEAR ME, I HAD TO SIGN A WAIVER FOR HIM, THEN ELITE/FHT SAID COME BACK, PROMISED ME EVERYTHING AND GAVE ME SHIT...I FOUGHT THREW THE PAIN, CHEMO,AND ALL THE BULLSHIT, BUT NOW LBM IS DUCKING ME AT EVERY TURN,DA DID NOT EVEN SHOW FOR OUR MATCH LAST WEEK, AND NOW YOU COME OUT HERE AND SPEW SHIT THAT YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WENT THROUGH....I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLANGE TONIGHT REAPER...BUT IT MY BE ONE THAT YOU REGRET......{CASEY THROWS DOWN THE MIC, AND FIZZ AND CASEY LEAVE.....}

[Blade]

--Without warning, the sound of static spreads throughout the arena. Everyones attention is drawn to the big screens. The static fades away and shows Blade sitting inside what is clearly the production truck. Various members of the Heretics can be seen working away, busy maintaining the show....for now.--

Blade:
Well doesn't this look fun. Hello...

--Blade leans forward slightly and taps on the lense on the camera, with a audiable thump.--

Blade:
Are we having a party? We're shooting all over the place this evening aren't we. And look, even our illustrious Undisputed Champion has chosen to put in his monthly appearance. All we need to make this party complete a gay midgit....wait, sorry Dijon your already there aren't you.

--Blade leans back in his seat again. Behind him, Sentience can be seen issuing orders.--

Blade:
I bet your feeling pretty special know aren't you Dijon. You acted as the Cataylst for whats going on right now. I'm kind of surprised your head hasn't balloned large enough for you to like a godlike view of the events that are unfolding. Max. Seriously bud, why are you wasting your type on these morons. You know we're the only intelligent people around here. Reaper is saying that those tag belts are worthless, but we used them to carry the goddamn show for much of last year, we made them something again. It's Ace that has once again thrown them to the dogs.

--Blae grabs a bottle of Hobgoblin from the desk besides him, taking a long swig--

Blade:

[/b]
You should all be thanking me. Not one of you seems to be happy that Ace is now the 51% shareholder, effectively now running this company. But i'm looking at giving the money whore his just deserts, even now I have members of the Heretics already in his employ. Ace, I'm still waiting for you decision. Sell your shares, or i sow chaos upon thee, starting with this broadcast. Everyone else, have a nice day![/font]

--The screen once again begins to fade away to static...[/i]
[/center]

OOC Edit: I wasn't happy with what I had written so I changed it.

[Max Venom]

The fans are beside themselves as so far the show has seen Lbm, Max Venom, Crusher Casey, The Fizz, Soul Reaper and now Blade all interacting with each other. Lbm is still staring a hole through Reaper, who is smugly looking on, FHT World Championship gleaming on his shoulder. As he does this, Venom picks the microphone right out of Lbm's hand.

Max Venom: Man, I never knew I was this popular! See, I have this issue, this little problem. I come out one week to talk about something, to clear the air on one particular issue... And two more guys come running at me. So unless you really want me to sit down one week and spend the entire show going, point-by-point over every single thing that concerns me, and apparently the stuff that also doesn't concern me... Well, fine, but you can't then come out and say “Wait! He's not wrestling! What a coward!”. Believe it or not, when I'm having a little chinwag with Lbm here about our own specific positions, I don't feel the need to suddenly put over “Sick” Nick's reveal! I don't need to namedrop Ace Andrews taking control of the company! I don't need to give my answer to Blade right there and then! Its not my job to stand here and carry everyone else in this promotion to my standard. For those of you who really think differently, well, I remember the enthusiastic response to the Uprising takeover. Had you guys been even more laid back about it than you were, seeing that we spent an entire night in charge of your show, you would've all fell over! I don't expect Akuma Ninja to, halfway through challenging Soul Reaper, to talk about his own concerns about the Uprising! Wouldn't that feel so out-of-place? “God, I hate you Reaper but let me divert my attentions to talk about something that is unrelated to me”... But you know what? You want me to? You want Max Venom to go systematically through every single piece of news that even vaguely affects him? Fine! Let's do this!

There's confusion from the fans as a slightly maniac-looking Max Venom rolls out of the ring and picks up a chair. Lbm gets on the defensive, but Venom just opens it up and takes a seat.

Max Venom: Let's start with Soul Reaper up there, hey man. Nice to see you. God, where do you begin? Maybe with the basics. Maybe I need to actually walk you through what was happening just now, other than me and Lbm comparing dicks. You see, Reaper, when two guys hate each other very, very much, they tend to disagree on things. And since this is a wrestling promotion, they can do these things called “promos” and have these things called “matches”. I figured you might need reminding of that, seeing as Akuma Ninja vs. Soul Reaper has been the worst feud I have ever witnessed. Its a trainwreck! The worst part being that it wasn't a joint mess, it wasn't two guys being lazy... Akuma Ninja has done everything to try to keep this going! He's taken beatings, he's wrestled pointless number one contendership matches, he's cut promo after promo challenging you, taunting you, threatening you... For nothing! Since when Soul Reaper finally emerges after all this, does he really talk about Ninja? Does he use all that anger and passion to make people want to see Ninja/Reaper at the PPV? No! He comes out and complains about me and Lbm! That apparently our constant interactions have killed this place off! You know, despite the fact we've barely been in the same ring together. Despite the fact that this is our first ever face-to-face microphone confrontation and the one time we've wrestled was on the second show this year, in a tag match. But no, you're completely right on that, Reaper. This constant back-and-forth between Lbm has just killed this otherwise steller recent series of shows! Its not like we've brought other guys out of the woodwork and set up so many interesting places for us to go. Honestly, though... “we've killed every other major running feud”? Really? What feuds did we kill right there? I called him an ass, he called me a dick, Casey interrupted with his own perfectly fair contribution on the matter... I don't remember at any point killing any feuds that weren't already dead.

Reaper's face shows no emotion as Venom leans back on his chair, smiling, seemingly in his element. Lbm regards the Tag Champion curiously as Casey and Fizz wait to see where he goes next.

Max Venom: Seriously, after all the waiting, you come out with that though? You called me, Max Venom, an absentee? That's a fucking joke right there, Soul Reaper actually saying I needed to step up my game. Until last week, I was ever-present, either wrestling in matches or cutting promos that were very often the best on the show. I took one week off, which I'm perfectly allowed and entitled to do, and had Ace Andrews inform you all on-screen that was the case. I'm not going to accept being the scapegoat for the fact that half of you couldn't be bothered to build on the other half's good start, that when the show hit its second hour, it tanked. I saw “Sick” Nick, after what was a shocking return, come out to challenge Keith to a match. I saw RDJ beat the hell out of Ash Strife. I saw Ace Andrews come out here and give the show its truly memorable moment when he announced he was the new owner. Money ain't my style, but it works for Ace, and I'm happy for him, and find it amusing how many guys got shook up over the change. I saw Lbm, Dark Angel and The Peep's Champ on The Peep's Show, I saw Crusher Casey and Lbm interaction, I saw Blade doing his thing, I saw the ending of the Supershow again... for some reason... Then we had three short matches with The Fizz, Dark Angel, Crusher Casey, Lbm and Ace Andrews... In all of that... Where was Soul Reaper? Its one thing to try and call me out on a one-week absence, but its fucking amazing you actually have the balls to do it when, once again, you weren't present yourself! Hell, there were a few guys not there, but by all means, single me out. You know why... Its because I'm the new guy still! After a year, after classic matches and promos, I got the blame because it surely couldn't have been the veterans fault! And that's why the Uprising exists! Because all of you will run your mouth about how we get our chances, but sometimes its not about chances, sometimes its about equal and fair treatment. Let's say me and Reaper switched places for the last fourteen weeks, he did what I did, I did what he did. Reaper would've been fucking hailed as some sort of demi-god, as inspired, as an inspiration. I would've been fired, kicked out of the building, belt forcefully vacated and told to never return! There's my problem! Throwing us the odd scrap every now and then doesn't make it better! It doesn't make it right!

Casey and The Fizz applaud Max Venom's little speech as Lbm hangs by the ropes, thinking to himself. Reaper takes a breath, showing he's not impressed.

Max Venom: Man, I hate to dwell on Soul Reaper, but god, he's at least good for material to rip apart! How about that “open challenge”, his token answer for why we can't complain about his work-rate, why we are all cowards for not facing him. Remember that? Right at the end of the last show before the Supershow proper? Remember how I was booked to face Stone Cold at that point? How guys like Lbm, Dark Angel, Ash Strife, Crusher Casey, Keith Williams... Everyone was booked! I mean everyone! That's when he decided to make his open challenge, when there was no longer a chance of anyone actually accepting it, so he could bitch and moan later on that he had put it out and no one took it... Even though someone did! Ace Andrews, to all his credit, bent over backwards, pulled double duty and gave Soul Reaper his one memorable match this year! Hell, even then, he can't complain about me not taking it... I gave him his own challenge for the tag team titles! Me and Ace defended them against the Soul Assassins, giving some spotlight to that feud it the hopes of saving it! And Reaper refused to show up, so we had to face Ninja and his student, Jamie Coleson, instead. What a fucking joke. Hell, you want another joke? Around our first Supershow, I toyed with the idea of actually inviting Soul Reaper to join the Uprising! Then Trey left the group, the air in our locker-room got clearer and I realised that was an atrocious idea... Can you imagine it, he would've turned our dynamic from an exciting group of young, hungry talents to a group dedicated to trying to make Soul Reaper look like a credible champion. Hell, remember that other big stable Reaper was part of once? The Unholy Alliance, was it? Remember how they made him a champion, and instead of trying to make it work, instead of perhaps giving that rub back to his fellow members, he just said “fuck this group” and walked out? Who wouldn't want a guy like that as part of their stable?

The crowd actually roars in approval as Max Venom smiles widely. Lbm makes a gesture that could be shock or agreement, depending on your view. Reaper stares down Max Venom, still sitting down, relaxed, in the ring.

Max Venom: I really went on a bit there... Who knew you could say so much about a guy who appears so little? So I'd really like to move onto something actually interesting. “Sick” Nick is back! I could make a tenuous connection about him being a member of the Uprising, but let's face it, he never really did anything major with us. For me, “Sick” Nick was leaving just as I came in. I respected that, almost. He retired when he felt he had reached his peak and let guys like me and Ace have the airtime. So now we've brought the company back from the brink, now the show is interesting again, he's come back. So, to me, that just makes him another veteran. Another potential target that the Uprising will have to deal with. At the same time, there's no reason for me to want to get involved right now: He and Keith should beat the holy hell out of each other and that's good enough for my position. Now, onto Lbm...

Lbm perks up, stepping away from the ropes. Once again, the tension is up as the two men go face-to-face and Casey takes a few tentative steps towards the ring.

Max Venom: I'd like nothing more than to beat you down, rip apart this illusion you have of being the saviour of this place, that my ideas were all your ideas... And take that Hardcore title off you, which I will admit as being right now the most valuable belt in this federation. However, I'm really a fan of the old motto, bros before foes. So before you get to me, before you deserve to step into the ring with me, you have to finish what you started. I want to see you and Casey finally lock it up in an MMA contest. Then, in the unlikely event there is anything left of you after my boy Casey has his way, we can have this little dream match. Lbm vs. Max Venom. It already sounds good, doesn't it?

Casey nods and gives Venom a massive thumbs up, as Lbm changes his view from Venom towards Casey up on the ramp. Venom rises from his seat.

Max Venom: As for Blade... We've similar ideals, similar goals and respect for each other. You already knew my answer though. I chose my side a long time ago, despite spending all my time out here tonight moaning about this place, I like it. I like being able to come out here and do whatever I want... I don't see the need to destroy it completely, its not the system that is broken, its the people corrupting it that have done it. So thanks, but no thanks. I'd invite you to join the Uprising, but I know you won't be interested. So, yeah, I'll see you at the top of the summit, Blade. I guess the first one to get there will be the winner.

Venom exits the ring and starts up the ramp, alternating his view between Lbm and Soul Reaper, as he approaches where Casey and The Fizz are standing.

Max Venom: So I'm done with this little clusterfuck here. You two wanna continue to play, go ahead, but I've got an Uprising to lead. What I will say though, before I go... Tonight, I sunk to your level. Banal chat about recent incidents, opinionated shooting, anger and rage... See, next week, I'm not going to be doing that. Maybe next week, I'll go back to doing something original and fun. I am the guy who did the impressions of the roster, the nursing home visit, the Max Venom Show. Or maybe next week I'll have another fantastic match like against Dark Angel or Stone Cold. So, seeing as I came down to your level this week, I dare you, every single person on this roster: Next week, at least try to come up to mine? Casey, Fizz, let's go.

With that, Max Venom leads the two Uprising members through the curtain, leaving Reaper and Lbm standing in their respective positions. FHT/ELITE takes a much-needed commercial break at this point, as the audience wonders if there's anything else left to say, or we'll be moving elsewhere when we return...

[Reverend Daddy Joe]

Before Max and the rest of Uprising get through the curtain, a familiar voice breaks out of the roar opf the crowd.

RDJ: Now you people wait just a damn minute.

In the balcony, amongst the crowd, stands RDJ, a mic in one hand and a bottle of Jamesons' irish whiskey in the other. Saying he's drunk would be like saying the rain is wet, very obvious and completley unhelpful.

RDJ: You guys can't end the party, i just got here. You see, I'm pretty tired of all this, Max, all this Uprising BS, all this 'so-and-so is holding me down', nonsense. If anyone could start in on that little bitchfest, it's me, but that';s not what I do, andc I don't care about what goes on backstage. All I care about is a good fight, and you know what? You and the rest of Uprising, you're going to give it to me.

The crowd suddenly bursts an RDJ chant.

RDJ: I took out your boy, Ash, sent him on his way. You see, Ash couldn't handle this lifestyle, he now understands what truly has been holding him down this whole time, fear. He didn't know how to use it to become better, and I'm beginning to think that maybe the rest of you yahoo's don't either, so maybe it's time you put up or shut up.

You see, me and Lbm were talking on the plane ride over, and we decided that maybe Uprising, you darling, spunky little rookies, were too much for any one of us to handle, we're not as young as we used to, and you folks are hungry for power, so the question is, is how do we eliminate this threat from our lives? We do it by playing your game, Max, we do it as a team. We're bringing it back Max, FHT's first stable, The Hardcore Horsemen, and we want Uprising tonight!

A Horsemen chant breaks out, as scores of fans hold up four fingers.

RDJ: there's three of you tonight and just two of us, so why not throw in the Heretics too in a Three Way Handicapped tag match. Heretics Anonymous vs Uprising vs The Hardcore Horsemen. Reaper, you can stay home for this one, I know you've been gone from it for 6 whole hours, your couch is probably getting lonley.

[Reaper]

Reaper stands there, retrieves his mic and refocuses himself

Reaper: "You can talk shit all day old boy, but as usual you have no grip on what the hells going on around here. Must be why you and LBM get along so well. Unlike you I don't skip out on people for months or years and come back and expect to be remembered. No I work my ass off, all over the world. So while you can sit there and mock me and Max can try to run me down, the fact of the matter is that I'm still the putting in more work than all of you whiners combined. So while I could just as easily walk out of here and let you idiots ruin the show, how about I up the ante just a bit here.

I'll take on Crusher Casey, because I have to respect a guy who's willing to pull off double duty. Its what some of you assholes forgot about. Its called hunger and wanting to earn respect. He called me out and I'll take him on, then we'll see if he can last with having two matches. As for upping the ante, as far as this supposed team match goes, I'm going to see if the Uprising is really as ballsy as they try to claim. So Ace, I'm daring you to not only make the tag match happen with the vets, the newbs, and the Heretics, but I'm also daring you to put up your nice shiny... unused tag titles on the line. Now I'm bored, so if all you little girls are done, lets get this show going finally."

Reaper turns around and goes into the back

[Reverend Daddy Joe]

RDJ takes a parting shot at Reaper while he's leaving.

RDJ: "At least I can do more than boring shoots,. What is it you're supposed to be again? The guy who complains about Lbm? Because that's all I've ever seen you do, so go ahead, walk away, not like anyone cares. Honestly, I don't see why you even bother to show up anymore. You don't wrestle and all you do is shoot, there isn't an entertaining bone in your body. So when you talk about me walking away for months and years, maybe you should do the same, because frankly, we're tired of your act, Champ.

You want a shoot, let's do one then. Mark this on your calenders, because this is the only time you'll hear this out of me. The reason me and Lbm get along so well, is because he actually cares about this place. He knows there isn't really a sense of "getting Over" around here, but there is good work, and he'll always try to do something new and entertaining. I respect him for that, and I respect the fact that when I first started talking to him 6 years ago about this, here he is today still doing his best to keep this place alive. I respect him for that, and it's far more than you do, so maybe you should take a nice long look at yourself before you start talking shit on how badly Dijon acts around here.

You call us whiners, but all you ever do is come on out here and shoot about Dijon and the politics. You never progress a storyline, you never put in a single ounce of effort, you bitch and moan about Dijon. Who wants to see that once, much less over and over again? These shoots, even this one, they aren't entertaining in the slightest, they just take time and attention away from storylines and matches that are far more important, and frankly, I'm ashamed to see that someone put enough faith in you to let you hold even a minor championship, much less a world championship, you are an untalented hack who should do us all a favor and just stay home for good."
