From Rust To Undisputed(Invite)

[joeseph]

In Time plays over the PA as Scott Joseph walks out to boos. He makes his way down to the ring and grabs a mic. Even with rust, this Lord of lords shines. Some more boos as Joseph continues. Now that I've worked out the kinks of my hand and the rust, it's time to set my sights where they belong. The Undisputed Title. More boos at the idea of him challenging for the title.

Joseph just smiles and waits for them to quiet down before continuing. I mean lets face it, the title needs someone great to hold it. Someone...who can evolve. Joseph holds up a hand with one finger pointed in the air. In fact, the next person to get a shot should be the person who led Jason to the title he holds. That man is... Joseph puts his free hand on his chest. ...me.

Joseph turns to the stage. Jason, I'm calling you out. You owe me that title, and I'm here to collect what you owe me. Joseph lowers the mic for a few seconds before raising it again. I know it sucks to have someone as great as me challenge you, but embrace the suck. Embrace what you are and give me what is mine. Joseph finally lowers the mic and waits for Jason to come out.

[Jason Youngblood]

"Your Betrayal" once again hits the arena's PA system. And out onto the stage steps the man whom Scott Joseph claimed, owed him something?

Jason's face shown only a smile, still visibly in pain from the Purgatory match a few days prior, his walk was slow and methodical, never breaking eye contact with Scott in the ring.

Kazu: Now this should be an interesting exchange. Talk about 2 loud mouths who've done nothing this year but be about themselves.

Bill: Who better to be about? Selfish is the way to go. Always.

Jason scaled the ring steps, title & microphone in hand and slowly stepped inside, still with that watchful eye over Scott, perhaps sensing a possible attack. Before the music could die out, Jason's voice was heard over the PA system...

"So someone owes you? Scott? I owe you? Do you take checks? Mastercard or visa?"

Kazu: Uh Oh.

Finally the music began to fade out, Jason's mouth still going a hundred miles an hour.

"You got alot of nerve to even attempt to call someone out, much less the man who's been making this damn show at least watchable for the past 2 months. The man has finally cracked all the way I see."

"So now you're done playing with the boys and want to move on to the men. What? The match against Ryan Whyte was your measuring stick to see if you were ready for championship gold?"

[joeseph]

Joseph shakes his head. Whyte was a way to work off the rust and hopefully gain another follower of evolution. I mean we both know if I didn't get injured I'd be champ instead of you. Some boos from the crowd. Sure I would have done some cheap shots, use stuff like brass knuckles and so on, but that's what I do. Similar to how you don't always go for the win. All that matters is retaining the title and I can respect that, because it's one hundred percent true. More boos for Joseph saying he'd cheat to win and encouraging how Jason's matches have gone.

But lets face facts. You OWE me that title. You embraced my way and that's why you hold that title. The crowd boos Joseph's ego and Jason holding the title as Joseph just smiles. If you were still the same Jason as a year ago or even the very beginning of this season, you'd be like your brother. Invisible. But you evolved unlike most of the has-beens and never was in the back. My way took you to the title, now it's time to repay your debt.

Joseph walks towards the ropes and back shaking his head and smiling, with possibly a hint of a chuckle. So lets make this match official. TNB's very own George Washington, the one and only, Scott Joseph versus the Youngblood brother who isn't totally forgettable. Or have you embraced the suck and realized that as MC Hammer said, you "can't touch this" Joseph puts his hand on his chest as the crowd boos him for his ego and the lame MC Hammer line waiting for Joseph to do what was right in his mind.

[Jason Youngblood]

"You're about as unbelievable as Cage is Joseph. Really delusional. I owe you this title? I've been following your ways? So I suppose that means... You're the new messiah then huh?"

Jason only paused, his face showing that of disbelief as he began to slowly pace back and forth in front of Joseph. This guy was a piece of work.

"I've got news for you Scotty boy. If that's the truth, then you're looking at a full blown atheist right here. Yeah I may owe some people for holding this title right now. A few actually. Generra. JOKEr. Christian Money Maker himself. But you?"

"......"

"I don't owe you a damn thing buddy. And for the record? Ryan Whyte looked like he knocked the dust, not ring rust, off of you during that match last week. A rookie. A guy so green that he couldn't hold my jock strap on his best day and yet.... You think you're up next for the title shot against TNB's 'Sin-Sation'?"

"You don't believe that Scott. You don't. So don't ask me to believe it. Hell at least I can say that Shia believes the sewage that spills out of his mouth. It's 99 percent damn lies but at least he believes it. Honestly Scott? I think you'd better step aside and... Maybe go back down to the lower tier of the roster and... I don't know... Fight Ayden Conley, Shawn Stone or... Some other loser who will never get a shot at this title. Because if you think you're worthy of this Joseph... TNB's medical benefits, specifically the mental health portion of it, has done you a great, great injustice jackass."

[joeseph]

Joseph raises his mic annoyed he hasn't gotten his way yet. I would step aside for others, but it just wouldn't be fair to them if I let them even have a shot at the title. Not even a tiny bit fair. But right now I'm here and I'm not asking for a shot. I'm telling you I'm getting a shot. You don't have a say this time in the matter. The crowd boos Joseph clearly enjoying him not getting his way.

I'm going to give you one more chance to say yes right now. Say no and walk away and I'll make sure by next week, you'll be singing a different tune. It'll be like Bruce Lee against a common run of the mill wannabe martial artist. Joseph lowers the mic after spewing more big talk despite his track record so far.

[Jason Youngblood]

"Oh. I see.... You're telling me...."

Kazu: This Joseph guy is kind of maniacal you know?

Bill: Sure is. How are you gonna force the champ to put you into a match for the Undisputed title? Sheesh.

"Damn. Scott? You know what? I kind of like you man. I like you enough to tell you to kiss my ass. I like you enough to tell you , you won't get a damn thing unless I think it's time for you to get it. And I like you enough to say hell..... If you want a shot at this?"

He raises the title, showing it to the psychopath standing across from him...

"You're gonna play by my rules and only mine. Got it? This isn't a democracy Scott. It's a damn dictatorship from now on. And guess who's the president head bastard in charge?

Bill: Jason.... Youngblood

Kazu: Shut up.

"You're looking at him Scott. You want a shot? I'll give you a shot. Who's to say that Ryan Whyte doesn't deserve a shot over you? He wore your ass out that's for sure in that match. The frog splash to end it was something of beauty to be honest. Maybe... Maybe he should be the number one contender Scott? Ever think about that?... Damn, that gives me a great idea Scotty.... How about this...."

Once again pacing back and forth as the smile on his face grows as he continues...

"Tonight. Here on TNB Brash Scott... I'm gonna give you a shot to get in the ring with me Scott. I'm gonna give you a chance to warm up in a match against me, and then we'll see if you want to go through with the world title match. If you do? Then fine. You got your shot at the next Pay Per View....Just... What you... Wanted...."

Kazu: This doesn't sound good Bill, it really doesn't....

"But tonight, you won't be facing just me Scott. Oh no. Tonight.... You and I step into the ring yes... But it won't be one on one.... No, no, no... Your little buddy from last week....."

Instantly the fans erupt into cheers, knowing just where this was going already...

"Your little buddy from last week, Ryan Whyte... Will be joining us... To make it that much more interesting. He's an up and coming star and I want to see if he's going to.... Do things "your way", of if he's going to try to beat the living hell out of you so he can impress the champ and the higher ups here in TNB..."

Bill: Wow. That might be good strategy on Jason's part. He can feel Scott out in the match but still not take all of the punishment of a one on one. Great play champ, great play.

"That is.... If you and Ryan both accept that is. Come on Scott. What do you have to lose? You're getting what you want.... But tonight, it's what I want. Do or Die Scotty boy, do or die...."

Jason slowly backed away, taking a few steps out of arms reach from Scott. He knew this guy would take advantage the first chance he got, just to make a statement and perhaps get a mental edge on the champion. Not something Jason was going to allow. Not today.

[joeseph]

Joseph's face changes to where he's not frowning, but not smiling either. It's almost like he's indifferent or not totally sure what to do as he raises the mic. You think this situation is gonna be by your rules and your rules only? I'll give you your triple threat match you want, but I'll have you singing what I want you to sing when I introduce a new rule into play.

Some mock concern appears on Joseph's face as he continues. I'm a little concerned though you're thinking of giving someone like Whyte a shot. I'm trying to do him a favor by holding him down, I really am. This glass ceiling I'm trying to create over guys like him is for their own protection. A rain of boos happen as he talks about holding people down. But I see you want to be the bad guy to my kind heart and watch the fresh less talented blood embarrass themselves.

Joseph shakes his head a bit with a frown. You're a bad person Jason. Even considering to deny the Sun Tzu of TNB a fair shot at the title. Putting fresh blood in a big spot so he can embarrass himself. It's hard for me to do my job of taking TNB to the next level when you do such things. All you had to do is give me what's owed.

Now, I'll entertain your ego and bless these people with my appearance in this match... The crowd boos Joseph and his delusional ego as he continues. ...but after the match I'm gonna just take what you owe. Joseph lowers the mic keeping an eye on Jason and the ramp in case Ryan Whyte comes out.

[Ryan Whyte]

Moments after Scott Joseph’s last words, the theme music of Ryan Whyte begins to play. The crowd explodes out of their seats into cheers for the rookie who is pretty much getting the chance of a lifetime at the moment. He emerges from backstage already in his wrestling attire. He wasn’t scheduled to have a match that night, but he knew that he would somehow get himself into a match. This time he didn’t have to go down to the ring to challenge someone. Jason Youngblood was giving him a great opportunity to wrestle in a triple threat match against him and Scott Joseph. A chance to wrestle against the Undisputed Champion was something he was not going to pass up on.

Ryan walks down the ramp giving out high fives to the fans standing along the barricade. He enters the ring and picks up a microphone that was left for him on the mat. For a moment he gazes at the Undisputed Championship title. What a feeling it would be to hold that title around his waist. Some day down the line he knew that he would have the opportunity to hold that title. He knew that he could be a great champion. As of right now though he had to focus on the task at hand which was the triple threat match. He raises the microphone to his lips.

"First off I’m just gonna ahead and say hell yeah I wanna be a part of this match. It would be stupid of me to deny this opportunity. There was no way I was gonna come down here andn down the offer, so to you Jason I thank you for the opportunity."

Ryan pauses for a moment as he allows the crowd to cheer in the background.

"Scott, I really don’t know what to say to you. No matter what happens in a match your ego just seems to inflate. Last week I’m pretty sure to me, a rookie here in the business. I thought that maybe that may knock you down a couple pegs but that doesn’t seem to be what’s going on here right now. It’s amazing how someone can have ego to come out here and talk so much trash right after getting embarrassed by the rookie of the business. Not only that, you had the audacity to challenge Jason Youngblood for the Undisputed Championship? You really don’t deserve anything my man. But whatever, I’m just gonna let you keep talking because all that matters is what goes down in the ring."

The crowd erupts into cheers as they agree with what Ryan is saying. Ryan smirks before lifting the microphone to his lips again.

"So Jason thanks again for this opportunity and I will let everyone know that I will not disappoint in this match. Chances like this don’t come around often at all and I’m running with it. I can’t wait for this match to get going later tonight."

Ryan lowers the microphone to his side and waits if any of the other two men will have any last words.

[Jason Youngblood]

Only a head nod and a sly grin from the Undisputed champion before raising his microphone to his lips once more and...

"Smart boy Ryan. You're a smart one. I mean, the whole thing about Scott here not deserving this title shot? Oh you hit grade A pay dirt just then rookie... So it's set in stone and the ink just needs to dry on the contract Money Maker & Williams are gonna draw up later tonight. Ryan Whyte.... vs. Scott Joseph... vs.... The Undisputed.... Champion, and greatest athlete TNB has ever seen.... Jason... Youngblood..."

A mixed reaction from the crowd ensued, some agreeing with the bold and brave statement, and others just the opposite. He pauses, glaring in the kids direction for a few seconds before going on as the fans reactions slowly begin to fade from audible range...

"But don't take the invitation into this equation as anything more than you being used for purposes that will serve yours truly kid... Don't make that mistake..."

Kazu: I knew he had something up his sleeve. Just couldn't be because Whyte is a top talent now could it?

"So while you see this as opportunity Ryan, I see it as something I call bait and scouting. I'm baiting one of you and I'm scouting the other. Who and for what reason? You'll find out when the time is right. Trust me boys. And as far as you go Scott....?"

"You're right about a lot of things about me Scott. You really are. Hell you're right about a lot of things period... But before I go, you need to know this one thing you were wrong about a second ago. You said I was a bad person Scott...Heh..."

"Dead wrong....I'm not a bad person Scott. No. You'll find out tonight just how wrong you were about that. I'm not a bad person Scott... I'm the absolute.. Fucking.... Worst...."

Dropping the microphone to the mat, his music cues perfectly as he backpedals towards the ropes, slowly making his exit and raising the Undisputed title above his head before making his way up the ramp. The match was set and the participants were eager to show off their skills. Little did they know what the man known as the Sin-Sation had up his sleeve. Time would tell... Time would tell...
