Talking about a "HERO..."

[Shawn Youngblood]

A Video Package plays of Ryan Blaze's Post-Steel-City-ShowDown-Interview:

SPOILER: Click to show

The night had come to an end, and what a night it had been for Mr. Ryan Blaze. The self-proclaimed hero of TNB had returned back to the scene, and won his match against the legendary Sylas Styles. He had proved that he was more than just words, more than a month of built up hype. He was back.

RB turns the corner, and bumps into Eliza Aries, who was conveniently waiting with her squad. The video guy flicks his camera to life, and Sam quickly bombards Ryan.

I’m here with The Hero, TNB’s own Ryan Blaze! First and foremost Ryan, welcome back to TNB! I

Ryan nods, acknowledging her greeting. She gives him a second, but after waiting and receiving no response, she continues

Uhh… Why Sylas Styles, Ryan? Why did you pick him as the man you wanted to return against?

Well…

He looks at her for a moment, and then towards the camera, and back to her.

Fact of the matter is, Sylas Styles needs a little help to return to the prestigious form he was once known for. He needed a little push. The man needed a little tap on the ass to get him going. I hope tonight he opened his eyes a little bit. He’s not untouchable, he’s not immortal. Any great can fall, and I feel Sylas dropped a long time ago. However, you can’t let tough times define you as an individual. You really can’t let that stuff loom. I mean, pain is inevitable, but suffering is only optional.

The long and the short of it, I want to see Sylas on top of his game again. I wasn’t impressed tonight. I’m not saying Sylas didn’t put on a fight, not at all, because he gave me quite the ass kicking… Sylas put on a show, but he couldn’t hit the grand finale, he couldn’t find that climax, and he couldn’t finish me off. If this man is as dominating as he promises, I figured he’d make short work of me. I’m not done with him yet, he has a long road of recovery.

[/b]

What are your thoughts on the match itself?

He shrugged, there wasn’t really much to say about it…

It was a great match, lots of action, fun to compete in. I didn’t think I’d actually get the pin that easily off of a gut kick…[/b]

Can you tell us your other plans?

To get the Undisputed Championship back around my waist. If any wrestler tells you otherwise, they’re lying or they don’t understand how wrestling works.

The Undisputed and World Class champion is a joke, no pun intended. While his wrestling abilities are there, it really irks me that this company is represented by a man that doesn’t have enough respect to show his face to the public. He lives a false life, using a false identity to accomplish a false sense of pride. A real champion doesn’t need to hide behind a mask or paint.

This same champion used a group of money hungry, selfish, egotistical bastards to sky rocket himself to fame. I, myself, would have liked to see him achieve this on his own. What ever happened to the JOKEr of 2010, the A1 champion that didn’t need help? I’m disappointed. I think you could be something big, something colossal, if only you showed some sort of respect. Don’t you worry, JOKEr, you’ll get a hero. I’ll be around.[/b]

He shakes his head back and forth calmly.

With those few things, and many more, I’ve got my stay here packed with all kinds of fun stuff. Now, if you don’t mind, I have to run.

He nods to her, and continues on his way, turning to corner towards his locker room..

As we fade in from the video package, Shawn Youngblood is already in the ring.

Hey everybody, Ryan Blaze is back! And he's no longer a crazed lunatic cutting his own sister's face up and forcing her to move to England to play babysitter for some fat domesticated house cat. No... now he wants to be known as a hero! That's right, he wants to be 'your' hero! He'll teach you how to get the best out of yourself and will lead you to the promise land, the holy grail, the top of the mountain, the pinnacle of success. Really, Blaze?

Hey I know I'm not exactly here every single day. I got my movie career on the side, no matter how small that may have become in comparison to yester-year. I got a wife running around with my ex-boss Christian MoneyMaker - and I'm coming for you too, old man. I got a brother who was on top of this company that I wanted to let have his moment in the sun. And I've got two assholes running around with my tag belts. I have a lot going on in the ring and away from the ring, and I recognize my own shortcomings...

I don't take half a year off to 'get help' and get back into a wrestling mindset, then come back and act high and mighty, like I am the one who will bring others back to their former glory. So maybe we can help each other out tonight Blaze. I'll bring you back to reality, or send you back to the loony bin myself - and maybe you can bring out the best in me by getting pinned 1, 2, 3, and starting the Shawn Youngblood Comeback Tour... whatd'yasay?

Ryan walks out onto the stage, microphone in hand. He was already in his ring gear and looked ready to get going.

That Ryan Blaze that you mentioned is gone, dead, buried, and time to be forgotten about. No need to mourn.[/b]

The fans cheer. It was almost as if the town crier of a medieval town just told the place that the fierce dragon in the mountains was dead. Same effect.

For someone who talks a bunch of junk, let me ask you, Shawn... What have you done to be relevant? Hmm? Yes, I took time off to get my stuff together. I suffered a wrist injury, a fracture. I went to rehab to fulfill my end of the deal from last years Night Of Champions event. I took time out of my career now so it won't be cut short in the future. While I was gone, though, what the hell did you do? You won the tag team championship with your brother, Jason? Congratulations. I'm serious, with no hint of sarcasm in my voice. Congratulations. You boys deserved to win something, eventually. That's all fine and good, but while you won the tag titles, Jason went off and won the Undisputed title to become a double champion. With that in mind, I have to ask, did you just ride your brothers coat tails, or are you legit?

So much damn potential blown on useless stuff. If I recall correctly, weren't you the guy that brought women to the ring last year? I bet your wife LOVED that. While you're off chasing tail, I won myself a World Championship through hard work and dedication. While you were off in Hollywood, filming your flicks, I was here forming the X Division, which is one of the biggest historical events of the current World Class title. While I was gone at rehab, all you can say you did was become a member of a now dead group, and ride your brothers success train... Not impressive. If you dedicated half the time that you put into other useless activities, quit looking for some action, and actually came here to perform, I can honestly say you'd be something special. You'd be a big time part of the Undisputed Title picture. I guess your success in the film industry is more important than your success here in Atlanta. You need to get your head out of your ass.

Sadly, I'll have to show you the hard way, Shawn. You need a HERO.[/b]

The fans roar at the phrase. It seemed Ryan's gimmick was more or less a reality check to the superstars he faced.

Let me ask you, Shawn... What's your problem with me? Is it a jealousy thing? Envious of what I've accomplished in my time here? Mad that the fans are loving me? Or are you pissed that I know the truth... Angry that I can see through all the smoke and mirrors, and see a guy that has a disgusting amount of unused talent?[/b]

[Shawn Youngblood]

Yes Ryan, I won tag team gold with my brother. The first time we have ever done so, because usually we had singles goals we wanted to persue seperately. And it felt very good to finally have some success together. But that doesn't mean I was going to stand in his way as far as the Undisputed Title, and keeping his mind on defending that bad boy at the top priority. Since we were both in MMInc, I wasn't going to chase the World Class title which was held by Sylas Styles or Joker for the majority of the year. That's something called Team Work.

Those women last year were all about projecting the image of a movie star, my agent said it would be a good idea. So my wife was understanding about that. But you're right, I should have more attention in the ring than I have in the past, and that will start tonight.

[Scott Dorn]

I am Perfection by Downstait hits loud over the p.a. system and out from the back comes two men one being Scott Dorn and the other being an unknown man. Scott and the man walk down to the ring slowly and doing poses on the way and both cockily slide under the bottom rope and then stand to there feet. The two then pull out mics and smirk. Scott is the first to bring up his mic.

" Well hello Ryan its nice to see you haven't changed a bit from the while midget in a cage fun time we had together. And Shawn don't even get me started on how much of a back sideline junky you are. Now is been weeks and months, since your face has even shown Ryan and why is that. Well it could have something to do with the fact that you have tipped of the lonely bin. But with all that aside. You might be asking yourself why we're out here interrupting your little pow wow. Well here's your answer me and Ashe here have been sitting in the back listen to every promo every bullshit, wanna be Scott Dorn. Bitch and moan and call out and whine some more, and then the best part is that they get a match well here's our little offer. Well not really an offer more like a demand. You and mister butt king over here are going to take on The Beautiful Ones, but I'll be fair and leave Love Lust in the back so what do you two say."

Scott waits for and answer while the fans cheer.

[Shawn Youngblood]

Take a hike, jackass. Coming out here interupting people's shit AGAIN! Just like at the PPV. I'll do you a favor. You say you got yourself a partner? Next week why don't you try to find an actual tag team to fight against? There's MG Cage and Titan, Michael St. Star and Seth Owens, there's The Youngbloods, of course. And if I'm not mistaken, Angel Fyre and Malachi Payne are still knocking about back there somewhere playing hide the balls... This right here is mine and Ryan's time. Why don't you go find Eliza Aries and giver her the latest scoop interview about how no one loves you anymore?

[Scott Dorn]

Scott smiles and the laughs before tapping Ashe on the chest.

"This dude right here, has got some hella jokes man, if you ever need a quick laugh go to him and he will give it to you."

Scotts face then goes serious.

"I could give two shits less if this sack less, ugly, useless, back wood fucks love me or not; the reason why is im the god given beauty and weather they love me or hate me there still gonna come buy tickets to see me. You see these fans are nothing to me there useless they sit in there seats while they watch the big boys like me do all the action from porn to wrestling. And you know what the funnest part about your whole statement was. I'll tell you, it was the fact you are chickening out of a fight and that yeah i interupted the PPV but that's who I am I don't give two shits about anyone in this business meaning i'm going to go where ever the fuck i please. Now here's what i'm gonna say one more time Ashe, Scott Dorn vs. Ryan Blaze And Shawn Youngfuck in a match next week. That is if you don't have to ask your butt buddy of an insets brother if you can have this match."

Ashe and Scott step foward ready for a fight.

[AlphaBeta]

Ryan looked over to Shawn, and cracks a smirk. While he was prepared to fight him one on one tonight, he sure as hell could have a good time with him before the match.

He could use an English teacher, not a hero.

He looks over to Scott Dorn. Scotty Dorn, Scotty Dorn, good ol' Scotty Dorn. Why did this name not sound familiar to him? He somewhat recognized the face, and Dorn was a hard name to forget... But he just couldn't think of who this guy was. Oh, Ryan figured it out! It's because the guy was never around.

I haven't changed a bit, you say? No, you're right. I didn't become a World Champion. I didn't become an X-Division and Violence champion. I didn't become a legend. Nothing has changed, nothing will change, I'll always be the same.

You're an idiot, fella.

You're right, it has been a few months. I did take time out. I had a wrist injury, as well as a deal I had to fulfill after my match at Night of Legends last year. You know, the biggest event of the year? You know, the event that featured yours truly in the main event? If you're talking down to me like I'm a crack head, why haven't you been successful? Please do remind me the last time you were in a main event here in TNB, don't worry, I'll wait... I've got all night. However, as fun as it would be to hear you babble on about the lame stuff you think you've done, I'll tell you why you HAVEN'T been successful, my friend. It's because you're not relevant, ever. You don't have the ability to stick around to build on any success you achieve. You leave, come back under a new gimmick, and then start from scratch. After realizing you're at the bottom again, you're gone, once again. It's an endless cycle.

Also, just a little tip for the future... If you're going to demand a match, don't ask someone what they think of the idea. It makes you seem like a joke. A weak, pathetic, joke. If you want to be aggressive, be aggressive. Don't go tough and then be soft.

I've been called to duty, fellas. I've heard the prayers for my guidance, and I'm going to fulfill those wishes. I've got a match tonight with Youngblood, and I'm here to be his savior. However, with that in mind, if you take a ticket, I can get you next week. I'll be your hero then... Hell, Shawn here may even be interested in joining that match. If he is, great. If not, then I'm more than willing to fight you all on my lonesome. I'll show you why I'm recognized as one of the greatest to step foot in a TNB ring at the age of only 26.

He lowers his microphone and calmly nods to Scott Dorn and Ashe. His cool and collected look burns through them, almost as if to say 'it's your turn, boys' in a taunting manner. He looks to Shawn and gives him the same nod he gave 'The Beautiful Ones', and then turns his focus back onto the men that had interrupted him. He makes his way to the ring, as his match with Youngblood would take place any minute now.
