Point Taken (JOKEr/Stone/Ryan Whyte)

[Jason Youngblood]

"Your Betrayal" blasts through the arena signaling the arrival of the Undisputed champion, Jason Youngblood, microphone already in hand. Through the curtains he steps with the title slung over his shoulder and seconds later, from behind the same curtain steps his stable mate JOKEr, along with the lovely Generra.

Kazu: Here we go. You know I'm growing so sick of Money Maker Inc it's ridiculous. The TNB guys and girls really need to up their game and take out the trash already.

Bill: If they could they would. You should be glad we've been witness to this great run they're on. It's the stuff legends are made of Kazu. Remember that.

Kazu: Sell it to someone who's dumber than a doorknob. I'm not buying it for one second. They're cancer. Simple and plain.

The trio make their way down to ringside, the boos pouring in, but mixed with a bit of cheers for JOKEr no doubt. They scale the ringsteps, Jason opening the ropes for Generra to enter first and she does just that.

Stepping in behind her, JOKEr & Jason both make themselves at home as they allow for the crowd to show their emotions with their cheers and jeers, Jason taking his rightful position atop of the turnbuckle showcasing the title once more for all to see.

Kazu: Yeah that's necessary. Glory hog is an understatement.

The music begins to die down, and Jason drops back down to the mat, making his way back to the center of the ring where he hands the title over to Generra. As the music fades, he raises the microphone and starts in on tonights festivities.

"Biting off...More than you could chew. That's what I think about when I think of you... Stone..."

Bill: Tell me about it...

"Hey look, it's not that I'm surprised that the 2 men you see before you are still the top dogs in this company. No. Not at all. I knew that without a doubt. What surprises me more than anything is that you and people like Ryan Whyte of all people..."

Jason's words are cut off by the booming of cheers for Ryan Whyte in particular. He pauses, shaking his head back and forth before going on...

"It's that people like you and him, believe that you're what this business needs. That you believe that you can dethrone the rightful occupants of the throne. It's that you believe that we would allow for you of all people to just waltz into this company and destroy all of the hard work we've done during this season... "

"The rumors say you have a bit of a loose screw Stone. The rumors say that you're ready to take things to the next level. My level... Whyte... I say the people spreading those rumors are nothing more than noobs who couldn't tell a real wrestler if one dropped them on their empty little heads..."

The boos began to pour in instantly.

"I say, that rumors are just that. Rumors. And hold no value whatsoever. I say that you're a delusional individual Stone. And I say that Whyte? You're a puppy trying to get into the ring with the big dogs and bound to get your pretty little head torn clean off. I say that in the event that you ever, ever reach my level boys.... You come calling one more time and I'll show you both how much of a lower level you're on when compared to yours truly. The Sin-Sation... Jason Youngblood..."

Jason lowered the mic to his side, his smile as bright as ever as he looked out over the sea of people, the boos and jeers echoing through the arena once again. He paced back and forth, nodding his head as if in approval of their reactions, giving his stable mate the floor to express his feelings on the matters at hand.

[JOKEr]

Looks over at Jason, not sure of how strong their is. Though week after week he seems to trust in JOKEr... So why doubt it. Why make more enemies then he has already... So he takes the floor and places mic to lips.

"Now, the questions that need to be asked is... What more could be done to prove the level of skill we have. This championship.."

He lifts his World Class championship up to cheers from the crowd.

" This "gold" is around my waist to prove... Yes, prove I have earned my place with the greats.... I earned it in a match, where I was targeted by both other wrestlers in the match. I earned it as I did the damage to get the pin. I put the man on the mat... I then knocked the other down... I could have pinned Avenger, but then everyone would second guess if I could have beat the stable mate in Sylas... So I pinned him.. See, we are equals... We as like Jason and I are greats... We may use different words... But the point is... We have earned our place... Never question that....

[Ezalb]

The PA system booms to life, cutting off whatever else Joker may of had to say. Through the speakers plays "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown, the oh so familiar theme of TheStone. The fans are on their feet cheering for his arrival.

Bill: I can't believe he is actually going to show his sorry face here tonight.

Kazu: Sorry face? Stone put up a hell of a fight against two men last week. Two champions at that. His defeat is nothing to be ashamed of.

Bill: No, but his stupidity is.

From behind the backstage curtain emerges Stone to a chorus of cheers. He is dressed casually, a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. He already has a Mic in hand. Slowly, taking the time to acknowledge his fans, he makes his way down to the ring. He uses the steel steps as his means of reaching the apron and takes his time stepping between the ropes. After last week, he wasn't afraid to stand toe to toe with both these men. Now mere feet away from them, Stone raises the Mic.

"Are you proud Jason? Joker? Are you two truly going to revel in last weeks victory? You think you proved some point that your a dominant force by what you accomplished last week? Because I think otherwise. I think things went exactly how I planned and I proved you two...And MMI as a whole ....are weaker than ever."

Bill: What the heck is he talking about? He lost. He proved nothing.

Kazu: Its not always about winning or losing. Stone proved last week that he has heart. More heart than both these men put together in my opinion.

Bill: Spoken like a true loser. Heart don't pay the bills. Victories and titles draped over your shoulders do that.

"You see, it was never my intentions to win that match. I mean, I'm not as dumb as you think I am. Two on one, the odds are kind of stacked. A victory, would have only been an added bonus. No, my intention was to inflict pain and damage on one of you. Now you ask, why not just challenge one of us then and have better odds? Because I know MMI doesn't fight fair....If I would have fought one of you...I would of had what little is left of your stable all surrounding ringside. I figured, hey...Two on one...Atleast I can fight one at a time...And thats what I did....I broke Joker. We all saw that sorry tag he had to make to save his hide. And Jason, if I had just a hair more left in the tank...I would of broke you too."

[Jason Youngblood]

Bill: god this guy is delusional.

Jason only reared back a bit, a smile on his face as the words from Stone just fell out of his mouth. He actually believed he’d one up’d the Money Maker Inc duo one week ago. Jason looked back and forth between both JOKEr & Generra before looking back to Stone again raising the microphone to his lips…

“.. You… You would have had them all surrounding the ring? What makes you think that can’t happen right… Now.. Stone…”

Kazu: Uh Oh

Jason turned looking back to the stage entrance, before slowly looking back to Stone again and going on.

“It’s not that hard to get wolves to come out and get a piece of flesh between their teeth Stone. You should know better that if we wanted your sorry carcass strung up on a stick in our yard, this ring to be exact, there’s no little scheme you could pull off to stop that from happening. Nothing at all junior.”

“Proud? No Stone, I’m not proud at all. Actually I should probably be ashamed of myself for taking advantage of a low life like yourself and showing the world just how good I am. I barely broke a sweat defeating you last week, and if you did have just a hair more left in the tank Stone? I still would have found a way to pull it off and once again, prove the doubters… Wrong!”

Kazu: Wow. I guess JOKEr wasn’t in that match against Stone taking the brunt of the punishment last week then Jason. How soon we forget.

Bill: Yeah, I—I didn’t see that coming from Jason.

“You could never stand a chance against me Stone. You can’t. No one in the back can. No one in this industry can. I’m the All seeing and all ruling of the business. As far as this ring goes? I am god Stone.”

Kazu: Whoa now.

“I’m ruler of all you see in front of you. I’m the L.A.W. buddy. I rule Land Air and water and the sooner everyone in this company gets that through their skulls, the sooner I can get back to allowing them… To keep their livelihoods.”

Again, Jason lowered the mic to his side hearing the boos rain in heavily this time. Specifically for the comments made towards the end of his little tirade. It was clear Jason’s ego was getting way out of control.

[Ezalb]

"You see Joker, that's why you were just a causality of war last week. Because MMI only needs you for numbers. Only needs you for a shield. And the same at the pay-per-view when I crushed your skull in with a steel pipe. Where were your MMI buddies then? The same place they are now...Scattered and self absorbed."

Stone looks over his shoulder at the back curtain, then back to Jason.

"Just as I thought. No one. The lines of separation are slowly dividing you all. We all saw earlier tonight how Sylas's ego...Which is a replica of Jason's here....Is tearing him from Joker. We have your brother, Shawn Youngblood...But he's to busy playing hide and go seek with the tag titles right now. And who else is there? Genesis? He's like dying or something right? Or should be dead. I haven't paid attention to a thing that nobodies done since I entered this business. Simply put, he's washed up. So, who are you looking for to come out tonight? You got some secret weapon? I don't think so...."

Bill: He don't know that! They are MMI! They always come prepared!

The fans cheer Stone on, though he knows these are just words and won't mean anything til MMI's destruction comes to fruitition.

"So whats the deal then Jason? I don't see your lackeys out here to do anything. And I know you...you of all people wouldn't come out here just to run your mouth. I mean, your not just all talk right?"

Stone's last statements are sprinkled with a bit of sarcasm.

"What I'm trying to say is....You want to throw down again....I'm ready and willing."

[Ryan Whyte]

Before anyone else could say anything, Ryan Whyte’s theme music begins to play within the arena. The crowd erupts out of their seats into cheers. After a few moments into the song, Ryan steps out onto the stage sporting a pair of faded blue jeans, a black beater, black and red high top sneakers, and as always to complete the look, an Atlanta Falcons snapback hat. He smirks as he looks out to the crowd before walking down the ramp. As he approaches the ring he stops and looks straight at Jason Youngblood and the Undisputed title. That title was something that he truly desired. He has worked hard to get to where he is at this moment. His eyes shift away from Jason as he enters the ring and signals for a microphone. After receiving the microphone, he slowly raises it to his lips.

That is some ego you got there Jason. I mean I guess it comes along with being the Undisputed Champion for quite some time. But sometimes it’s that ego that actually ends up bringing someone down. As of right now everything you have said you have indeed backed it up in the ring which kind allows you to have that ego of yours. But for damn sure I believe it’s time that someone brings you down a couple notches and puts you in your place.

The crowd erupts into cheers. As the cheers begin to die down, Ryan continues to speak.

You’re saying that I’m a little puppy dog trying to hang with the big dogs huh? Well at some point that puppy grows up and is ready to hang with the big dogs. You might be saying that I am biting off way more than I can chew by challenging you for the Undisputed title, but to be honest, I believe that the time is right and I strongly believe along with all the TNB fans that I can be the guy that takes that title away from you bro. Your time as the champ is coming to a close shortly. It truly is time for a new face to the company. Jason Youngblood, your time is up!

As Ryan lowers the microphone the fans begin to cheer. Ryan waits to hear a response from anyone else in the ring.

[JOKEr]

JOKEr nods his head as he almost screams.

"Good now, everyone has had their word. We done now, is it time for me to throw some words out.... Good, now first of all... I am not the WEAK link.... I am not easyly broken or was I in that match against you... Stone. I merely tagged out to give Jason the ring time. He also was looking to take you down a peg.... Your hungry... For gold. I get that. I almost respect that..... But your actions in getting my attention was poor. You want to talk about how MMI is a bad group. How we are evil and everything wrong.... Then you use those type of actions to prove your point.... Really how does that make you better then what you think of me..."

The crowd cheers, well their are some boos.

"Now, Jason and I have tagged together before. We know what... We got each others back... And I don't beleive you two have even spoke to one another.... But you both seem to think you have earn a place among the champs..... Fine.. Let's do this. You two puppies vs. the Champs.....

[Generra]

"Might I offer some insight as to this proposed match up gentlemen..?"

Generra steps forward, microphone in her hand of course as she smiles brightly to the 2 men whom wished to face off against just 2 of her clients here tonight.

"Mr. Whyte... You've shown great resilience over the course of the previous weeks. For that I commend you to no end. Yet A talent such as yourself who hasn't reached his full potential could prove potentially dangerous to my clients in such a match. That I cannot allow."

She then turns her eye towards the man who refers to himself as the Corner Stone of TNB's future.

"And you Mr. Stone.... You've shown that your actions are sometimes unpredictable, as well as vital to the health and safety of your opponents. Your most recent attack on JOKEr a few weeks ago, showed just how much of a liability you can be when faced with adversity. Not your finest moment of course so.... As a precaution, I will be joining my clients for this match up at ringside... To keep... Everything in line so to speak. Those are our terms. Take them, or leave them."

Generra smiled brightly, lowering her microphone before stepping back, keeping both JOKEr & Jason between she and the challengers for the night. God knows what such trash could do when provoked.

[Jason Youngblood]

Jason only smiled, nodding his head after hearing Generra's wonderful idea of joining them at ringside for this match. It could only provide more leverage for their imminent victory.

"That's... A wonderful idea Generra. Someone has to make sure there's a level playing field when dealing with hack talent like these 2. And Ryan, for the record? A true champions time is never up, until he decides its up. That decision won't be made by an ignorant upstart like yourself. That much I can promise you. Keep wishing for something buddy... And sooner or later you just might get it. So be careful... Be reeeaaaaalll careful son. Stone? Whyte?... You 2 are dead men... Walking...Quote me..."

Jason dropped the mic to the mat, the music cues up once again as Jason has a brief stare down for a few moments with Ryan, mumbling a few words off mic to the perhaps soon to be challenger for the Undisputed Championship.

He and JOKEr both backpedal to the ropes, keeping an eye on the opponents for the coming match up. Making their exit the 2 champions both make their way back up the ramp, Generra trailing them as they once again showcase their beloved and coveted title belts. Before long the Money Maker Inc. duo had passed the stage curtain and were on their way back to the MMInc. locker room to prepare for the war ahead.
