Keith's Announcement: England's Finest (o2a)

[Keith Williams]

Keith Williams walks to the ring, smiling. Drawing a microphone from his pocket he wastes no time in beginning to talk to start off the night.

You know... it was 'fun' bringing back Sylas Styles last week. Oh sure, he didn't say anything, but it was fun watching him getting a jolly-good kicking, even if my boy had to suffer a loss in the tag team tournament because of it. It got me thinking of what other new stars, and old stars, we could bring back to the company for 'shock value'. Ladies and Gentlemen, i give you 'England's Finest'... no, this guy's not English, but I am, and I think it's the finest choice for a shock return... This is going to be interesting...

[Brandon Payne]

Then 'he' appeared. Much to everyone's dismay. This guy wasn't really a 'shock', not anymore. Nope, the running joke of the company returned. 'He' walked down the aisle. Entering the ring to no music. The crowd was very meh. Do we really gotta see 'him' again??

As he entered the ring. As if you didn't know who it was already. He grabbed the microphone & laughed.

Ya know, Keith. Thanks for the introduction. But no thanks. You see, like Lucy had to do waaaaay too many times before. I've got some splannin' to dooo! haha

So, why did I come back? Well, why not. I hear 5,698,308,493 time is the charm! After-all. You should all know its my gimmick. I guess I should explain this one out further. You see, over the years. I've been known to 'walk out' unexpedictly. Curse out the bosses. Pitch a fit from time to time. State my case. Ya know the drill folks. Act like every other person who the world who doesn't get there way, blah, blah, blah!

Heck, when the going got tough? Genesis got going! Am I right, bro's & hoe's!?

Well, I'll admit. When I was told by creative years ago in 2006 about the 'idea'. I wasn't keen on it. Though it was unprecidented & had never been done before. I was against it. Hell, I felt the idea was freaking stupid.

But... more I thought, and the more money they gave me. I quickly changed my mind. Hell folks. Its no secret. I LOOOOOOVE money! haha

Who doesn't? When your boss throws a wad of cash. I'm talkin' thousands upon thousands in your face. Are you going to be a dumb-dumb and not take it? Course not! You take it and you RUN with it!

So I spent the last six years. On more then one occassion. Building up momentum. Then whenever something bad happened. I left. Either quietly or with a loud roar. No matter how it happened, I left because I can. I just couldn't handle the PRESSURE! I cracked!!!

So, when Keith said he needed someone to come in. He came to me & asked if I could come back. We went back & forth. He wouldn't budge. I wouldn't budge. Then all Keith had to do was give me a load of money & promise me a World Heavyweight Championship. Before I knew it, BAM! I was in baby, Wooooot!!!

Now I know I'm not 'English'. But god dammit, I can speak it !!!

... Not very well, but I can get you from 'A' to 'Z' easily.

Oh & by the way? Where's my belt, boss man? We had a deal, remember?

Gen. stood there, tapping his foot on the ground waiting for a reply. Um, what the hell is going on here?

[Keith Williams]

Keith Williams raises an eyebrow...

I don't know who at the time thought the constant walkings out were a good idea, I agree - they were stupid. When you were aligned with Christian MoneyMaker you had a goal and a purpose. You wanted something, power or whatever. And you took those things forgot all about them in your rage at Reincarnation.

Keith turns to the video screen where some footage comes up on the screen.... It's Keith Williams firing Genesis on the first Brash of the year.

"He was 'so outraged' by what happened with the TNB Undisputed Title last night at the Pay Per View..."

*White Flash*

... I decided that Mr. Genesis was too much of a risk to this company with his crazy antics. Don't take it personal, Brandon Payne, as you have told TNB management over the years - it's not personal, just business.

You let your anger take hold and take you right out of a job here in TNB wrestling, as per usual from what historians tell me. Genesis screwed Genesis. Or Better yet 'Genesis' Screwed 'Brandon'! Never fret, just like it was a business decision to fire you that day, it was a business decision to bring you back now. It was my decision, not need, to bring you back. Just like Lucy Youngblood must feel about Kim Hunter. I will save you... from yourself! The power to do whatever I please with this company, after tricking Lionheart into signing authority over to me, rests solely in my palm. Now you are 100% a member of the TNB roster, and you no longer think you work exclusively for MoneyMaker Inc, that means you work for me. And since you work for me I have one question to ask of you, Mr. Payne...

Keith Williams leans back into the turnbuckle, sharing a sly laugh to himself.

Just what title belt are you talking about? I never promised you such a thing, and your new TNB contract damn sure says nothing of the sort. I may be an 'asshole', but I don't give out guranteed title runs to entice people to come in or stay on. I think you've gotten some a few wires crossed...

[Brandon Payne]

... You mean, you don't know!?

Hmm... well, it would seem like I jumped the gun... again (laughs). Oh well, ya know what booker man? Forget about the World Title. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL friendship!

Think about it! You & Me together working as a single, solitary unit!. The Mario & Luigi of wrestling. With your mental prowess, and my physical prowess. We will bring this company crashing down...

Um, did I say 'down'? I mean 'up'. Yes... up, as in sky high baby! We will take TNB to the moon & back faster then you can see Buzz Motherfucking Aldrin baby. Yes! I'll make him a motherfucking superstar!

Just like I made Sting 2.0 a star. Just like I made my brother a superstar. Just like I made TNB as a whole a superstar. Ya'll gonna be one big, gigantic mother fucking superstar when I'm through. Wooooo!!!

Keith whispers to Gen. as he for a brief moment. lowers the mic:

Gen! You can't say the 'F' word on televison. No more F-Bombs!!!

Oh... sorry boss-man. I didn't know... I just, ya know. Sometimes I don't think before I speak. My mouth has a way of overriding my train of thought.

Gen. then raises the mic back up to his lips & yells out:

BUT MAN YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HURT MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT!!!

Gen. turns around & walks away from Keith. Like he's gonna 'walk out' of the company again for getting his feelings hurt. Until Keith stops him in his tracks...

[Keith Williams]

Time for a reality check, Brandon

Genesis stops and turns slightly, looking back at Keith.

The committee, and more specifically me, are probably going to catch hell for putting this song on repeat, one more time. Only this time things are going to be different. I'm not your brother coming to you in the locker room to share a private word, caring for your mental well being. I'm not David Cornell, or Christian MoneyMaker, your staff ticket to the top. I'm the guy who, one way or another, is going to make the name Genesis, or Brandon Payne, synonymous with TNB just like all the greats like Avenger, Lionheart, and not synonymous with walkouts. One way or the other. If you're gonna be my right hand man, we have to be on the same page. So I'll ask you again, now that you're done talking about rockets and video games, what title belt are you talking about, boy?

[Brandon Payne]

Well...

Gen. replied, as he turned around to face Keith once again.

I mean, my 'own' Championship belt. I got to thinking. Who needs the World Heavyweight Title? Who needs it when you can have your own. With that in mind, Mr. Booker Man! May I present to you my own World Heavyweight Championship!

Bring it out here, missy!

Next thing ya know. One of the ring girl's (does TNB have ring girl's? Meh, they do now. ) brings out a sack that she hands to Genesis. Keith stands there puzzled & confused.

Keith. Buddy ol' pal, ol' friend! This here is the NEW World Heavyweight Title... but not just any belt. MY World Heavyweight Championship!

The belt Gen. pulled out from the sack was by far the most godly creation known to man. Course, Gen. thought it was a beaut. But what he pulled out was... ironically... a championship belt 'given' to him years ago by one Scott 'Maniac' Manor that read 'King of Fools'. The belt itself was rundown, with the designs all torn & filthy like. With the "King of Fools" insignia written in crayon on the lower portion of the belt.

Don't ya like it, brah??

I mean, when I found this thing laying around in my house. I got excited. After all, how many wrestler's out there do you know have there own title? Not too many, but I do, hahahaha!

What the hell has happened to Genesis? Has he finally flipped his lid & lost it? Or, is this an act?? Who knows!

[Keith Williams]

Keith looks at this belt for a moment. King of... FOOLS!? Keith didn't know this belt, nor why Genesis would be so damn proud of it. Didn't he realize it said fools on it? One look at Genesis' face told Keith he did not...

Ah yes, the, uh, 'King's Championship'. Yes, that's it! How fitting!

Keith could feel this moment of triumph slipping away, as the situation teetered on unintentional comedy. Dammit! This wasn't the Genesis he had fired but a month ago! Better not lose face in front of the live crowd though...

So, uh, King... I'm guessing that you're on a conquest now that Avenger is the World Champion, I suspect you might have your sights set on him. Or maybe the former champion you originally wanted to face one on one at Reincarnation, Ryan Blaze? Then of course there is the small matter of you siding with me against your former boss, Christian MoneyMaker, and MoneyMaker Inc - but the devil's in the details, and we can talk more about that later on.

[Brandon Payne]

Meh, screw the World Title dude. I've got my own belt now. I don't need Sting's world title. I don't need to take orders from Vince McMahon & the Corporation. Matter of fact, I don't need to take orders from you either, boss man. Don't you know who I am?? I'm Genesis! Haven't you heard from the powers that be, aka, the people, the know-it-all's, the marks, the trolls, the fanboy's, the fans, the haters, blah, blah! I'm nothing more then a Glory Hog, a Legend who holds down talent. After-all, I only care about "myself". To hell with everyone else, right!? Heck, you might as well call me the Lucifer of e-feder... um, 'pro wrestling'. ;D

Gen. says, as he clutches his "King of Fool's" title tightly to his chest. Like it was his little baby. What the hell has happened to this guy?? Furthermore, what is Keith gonna do now?

[Keith Williams]

Yes, I have heard of your bad reputation. Earned, I might add. The sorry state that we find ourselves in is that people are unsure of you. They don't doubt what you can do inside this ring. They don't doubt what you can do on the microphone, though the big bad heel stuff is admittedly played out. What they doubt, what makes them unsure of you is that they feel they will take time and effort and have matches against you, only to be left high and dry at some point. That stench still lingers on your person.

I gave you a golden opportunity back into this company, just like I gave others to try to redeem themselves and have a good run of things, to dispel the memories of the past. To prove that you can step up to the plate and hit a home run - the same opportunity I gave to Outlaw Inc in December, to Scorpion, Christian MoneyMaker and David Cornell. But when it comes down to it, two things really matter, this time around.
1. You would be ill-advised to not listen to me and to bite the hand that feeds you, as I have with this opportunity. I don't see anyone else stepping up and giving you a chance for redemption. You could just as easily be being wasted somewhere else with people who don't see the diamond which is buried somewhere deep down inside you, amongst so much rough.
2. No matter what opportunities I give, the hardest part in winning people back onto your side, has to come from you. If you don't want people to write you off before giving you a chance, then you cannot walk whenever things hit a small snag - 'gimmick' or not. This isn't about gimmicks anymore, it's about you proving once and for all that you still got it, and you're prepared to show it.

[Brandon Payne]

Those remarks triggered something in Genesis. As he looked down at the 'King of Fools' belt, and dropped onto the mat. He looked around the arena. Saw the many faces. Faces that wanted to see him succeed. Others, that wanted to see him fail again. It was this, he raised the microphone & gave his two cents

Keith... as much as it pains me to admit this. As much as I like 'having fun' out here tonight. Parading around like an idiot with a belt given to me by a good friend & long time rival. As much as I even enjoy goofing around for the masses instead of 'being serious for a minute' 24/7.

Your right!

But... your also wrong too!

Yes... I've earned the reputation of Myster Controversy. Is it something I'm "proud of"? No! I'm not. But its the name given to me. Do you think that when myself, Lionheart, ThreeG, Avenger, & countless others who stood in this very ring. And verbally buried Sylas Styles & J-Mod many years ago. That I anticipated that my career would be altered forever? No!

I've said it before. I'll say it once again. Back then? I was young. Nineteen years of age. Still very 'green'. I was looking for something to run with. So when I verbally assaulted those two. I became the most hated man in this industry within' one night. The course had been set for the rest of my career. In a way, depending on your point of view. You could say that a very bad negative turned into a complete positive for my own career.

Then again, it is for that reason. People have doubts. They don't like... oh, how should I put this? Telling the truth. They don't like it when I say something they don't want to hear. Like for example. Saying that you're a HORRIBLE boss. That you have very bad people skills. You worry too much about being different, & tricking the masses instead of going the logical direction with business decisions. Yada, Yada, Yada. You get the picture.

Gen. said, as he knew this would get under Keith's skin easily. After all. Keith seemed like the type that didn't like being criticised without going on the defensive about every nook & cranny decision he's ever made.

Bottom line. I'll repeat for the last FUCKING TIME!!!

"I'm not here for popularity points! I'm not here doing my job to 'please' the masses. I do this because I love my job as a performer. Not because I love the people in or out of this industry."

What I do in this ring? Is for my OWN benefit. My OWN agenda. My OWN career. If I based my career doing what others wanted me to do? Then what kind of a career is that? I'm not The Avenger, okay? I don't need someone holding my hand. I certainly don't need a World Title to prove my significance to this sport.

What I am, is Genesis. The Outlaw of the Wrestling community. The one and ONLY "Myster Controversy". I love being me. I love being the talk of the town. Becuase you see. No matter what I say or do. You will ALWAYS react & talk about me. Whether that is considered a good thing or a bad thing. Its all about publicity. And the more publicity I get? The more money I make. Thus, the richer I become then YOU... 'Booker Man'.

Gen. reaches down & picks up the King of Fools belt off the mat.

Don't worry, I don't have butterfingers. But, this is for you, Keith.

Gen. handed the 'King of Fools' belt over to him. Laying it across Keith's left shoulder.

I believe that belt is BETTER SUITED for you.

Any last words, jackass? If not, I'm going backstage to collect my paycheck & get the fuck outta here.

[Keith Williams]

Keith takes the belt from Genesis, looks at it for a moment, before non-chalantley tossing it back down to the ring canvass.

It would appear that I made a mistake, in thinking that you were someone deserving of a chance to redeem yourself. I thought surely this man would like to put MIRK in his place after he challenged you in MMInc on an almost constant basis. Something along those lines... I thought that maybe going from being in MMInc to being on the outside would have given you time to reflect on your decisions in business and in life. I thought that you could come back to TNB and find the warm glow of having a purpose and a goal once again, interacting with MMInc, or Ryan Blaze, or Sentoryu, no matter which side of that good vs evil line you stood on.

I may be a new boss, having tricked Lionheart only last October to get the keys to the place, but I am by no means a horrible boss. Under me this company has shed it's failing A1 and Violence divisions, bringing them together in harmony. Under me we have shed lesser authority figures who contributed less or outlived their usefulness in their current capacities as an authority figure. Jeff Kain, Sylas Styles, David Cornell, lots of staff figures was something criticized in the past. I am moving this company forward, and going from strength to strength... Meanwhile, this whole 'controversial wrestling bad boy' thing isn't as marketable or as popular as you think it is. In fact it's pretty damn stale, especially when performed by you. It's not 2006 anymore, after-all. That was 5 LONG years ago.

The question is, if you're not going to stand with me, just what Genesis is going to do with himself in a TNB where Ryan Blaze is busy with Ken Styles, Avenger has the World Title you say you do not desire, and Sentoryu has Big K competing in his matches for him?

[Brandon Payne]

*With Permission*

Well... since you put it like that.

An arrogant, laughable smirk came across Gen's face. As he rubbed his chin with his right hand. Like he was thinking about his next move. He then stepped away from Keith. Acting like he was leaving the ring for the back. Fan's boo'd & Keith Williams turned his back on Genesis at this point. Taunting the crowd in a "I told you so" manner.

Gen. saw this. Shook his head & waited for Keith to turn around to face him again. As he does so. Gen. drilled Keith with a big right hand. Sending the boss down on his ass. Then proceeded to stomp him into the ground as the crowd went apeshit. After the beatdown. Gen picked Keith up to his feet & tossed him out onto the arena floor like common trash.

Then stood there looking down at the boss. Yelling out: "YOU DON'T CONTROL ME!"
