On the grandest stage of them all. Rise to Stardom III. It was finally here! All the build-up. The excitement! The extravaganza of all extravaganzas has arrived. The culmination of each Gladiator & Amazon's work for the 2011 fiscal year comes down to this night.
For Genesis. Tonight, was about two things. Settling the score with Double S. After over four months of back-and-forth trickery and upstaging. Secondly, he has the opportunity to shut down the former 'Shia Storm' for good. Turn his career into his personal playpen.
But... if he were to lose? Everything the 'Genesis' name has stood for. Everything he himself, and even Brandon Payne had ever accomplished under one of the most recognizable names in wrestling history? Will be gone forever!
Just before anything could occur. A special promo/vignette package started to play. With this song playing in the background:
The package shows 'highlights' of Genesis' career. Spanning his run in TNB. Along with runs from other organizations over the course of his seven year career up to this night.
A voice could be heard. Narrating the film. That voice, was Genesis himself. Speaking out about his career. Then, getting to the meat & potatoes. His recent feud with Double S.
Since day one. I was destined for failure by my peers. Told that I would never make it in this business. My attitude. My mouth. My pride. My ego. Would stand in my way, and cost me my career. I've even had a promoter tell me I was committing "Career Suicide".
I wrestled Demons, Myths, Franchises, Prodigies, Legends, Giants, Xtraordinaires, Maniacs, Psychopaths, Promoters, Bookers. Everything, and anything from this walk of life. I have faced... and conquered against all.
I've been an asshole. A selfish prick. An evil dictator. Hot-headed. Vengeful. Cold-Hearted. A man, who lived on his pride and strength alone.
You name em'. I've faced them:
Avenger. Maniac. Lionheart. Sylas. MoneyMaker. Fyre. MG (Cage). Joker.
My other half (Brandon Payne). Dealt with the likes of Scott O'Dell. Primo Valiante. 187. Joe Bruiser. Adrian Kincade. Ryan Blaze. Haven. XXL.
The list of names is never-endless. Yet all of which. Have felt the wrath of 'Genesis' at some point in there careers. For better or worse. Each man benefited off of my work. They either excelled, or they failed. Either way. Each person was affected by me.
Lest us not forget. The one. Perhaps, maybe my last challenger to date: Double S!
For years. Every one of those names. Each of them. Either verbally, or physically. Tried to stop me. All of them failed, and failed miserably. Some of them? The greatest names to ever grace a wrestling ring. Yet they all came & went. Fact is. Until this day. No one could finish the job. No one, had the guts to put the stake in my heart.
But you, Double S? Your something special. You see. IF... my career were to end this way tonight? I'd rather be it by your hand then anyone else's. Cause you possess the qualities that I fought for. You see. We may very well be enemies. You may not stand the sight of me. Hell. I might as well say. The feeling is very much mutual.
But in any case. You harbor the same feelings as I do for these last few years. You have been blasted by the masses surrounding you. You've been looked down upon. Underrated. Unappreciated. All of this. Caused a hidden rage to build-up inside of you, Double S. One... that I can't wait to see come to the surface tonight. When we face off in our one, and only, epic battle that will forever alter our careers.
There's a reason. That four months ago. I chose to come after you. While I had to see it for myself at first. I knew.... I knew in my heart. You were the one man. That if I had to pick any one person from any organization that could POSSIBLY... put an end to me. It would be you!

Face it. You & Me? We're one in the same. Whilst not brothers, nor family. We carry the same anger & rage. That same feeling that kept our fire burning in our souls from fizzling out into nothing. That same passion... that led us down to this day in history. Because tonight? Is history in the making.
I've been mentally, and physically preparing for this day to come, Double S. I can only hope. You have done the same. As tonight? Isn't just your normal 'match'. This is a match that will forever REDEFINE who we are!
The one match. That makes or breaks either one of us. Both of our careers on the line. 3 Stages of Hell. 2-3 matches, to show the world why you and I are the best in this industry today. bar none!
But you know as well as I do. Only one of us. Can have that right to say we're the 'best'. One of us has to win. One of us has to lose. Don't we, "Soul Rider"?
For weeks. I've been hearing your cries for the Genesis of old. You wanted the old, vengeful Genesis to rise to the surface. I gave you what you wanted last week. I showed you. Just how vindictive and cold-hearted I can be when pushed over the edge.
That, my friend. Was just a small taste of things to come. As you can see. I'm "Not Ready To Die"... not just yet.[/color]
Soon there after. The promo/vignette shuts off. As we now cut back inside the arena. The lights, for a moment or two. Have shut off completely. The arena. Filled in complete darkness. To a scene of hot, and enthusiastic fans here at Rise to Stardom III.
When suddenly...
Genesis' Rise to Stardom Custom Entrance[/u]
After what was seen as a dramatic, and 'epic' entrance of sorts. One that only a man of Gen's caliber could pull off. As he eventually entered the ring. With the special: "God Is Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash theme fading into the darkness. A song, to tie-in with the events of last week's show. Genesis took off his mask. Then grabbed a microphone nearby. As he was ready to now make some 'live' comments to the crowd. To follow-up with what had been stated in the opening vignette.
Listen to the noise! Listen to the ovation! Double S!!! CAN YOU FEEL THE MADNESS! ALLLLLLLL AROUND YOU!!!
Genesis said in a rebel cry. As the crowd. Which, under normal circumstances. Would hate this guy. But... as it were led to be. This was an eerie foreshadowing of things to come. They knew. Maybe just as Genesis knew. This could potentially be his last night in the ring as a competitor. Out of respect. They were behind him. Each fan. Just as proud, and loud as they would the traditional Super Babyfaces like Genesis' famous rival, The Avenger. As a name to use a clear-cut example of how loud these guys were.
Signs scattered about all over the arena. Both in favor of Genesis & Double S. The crowd seemed split 50/50 on who they would want to win. Even though. You couldn't tell it due to this enormously loud response currently going on for Genesis.
WOW.... to be frank with everybody. I'm almost taken back by this reception. I don't deserve it. But the bottom line is this folks. Whether you fans like this or not. When I beat Double S. I have a gut feeling. Your temporary feelings of respect will change back to normal, customary feelings of hatred & disgust.
This caused the crowd to go neutral all of a sudden. Some, liking the idea of Genesis sticking around. Others? Um, well? Not so much! (laughs). Yet, at the same time. Hearing his last few sentences. Most of the fans reverted back to there traditional feelings towards Genesis. While a few. Were hard-headed, and wanted there undying respect for this man.
Now that's a little more like it. Cause you see. Over the years. Its been you... the wrestling fan that has kept the 'Genesis' name going. Even during the years where I physically wasn't here to give you the goods. When "Brandon Payne" took over where I left off. You continued to carry me through.
Despite my personal feelings towards each & everyone of you. I respect that you fans have a mind. You tell it like it is. Even if at times. I don't like it. But that, is our connection. You see. When I get on this microphone. I spill my guts out to you. 110 motherfucking percent! Every week. Sick or Hurt. When you see Genesis? You get the fucking best!
The crowd erupts after that.
And tonight? Will be no different. Double S? Lemme tell you something. When I had you right where I wanted you to be last week on Brash? I loved every second of it. To know what if felt like. To control your destiny. You life. Your career. Frankly, it was quite orgasmic.
It was like... playing god!
So imagine the fun I'm gonna have. When I truly have your career in my hands after tonight. Imagine... the fun, you & I will have. When I can stand there. Bark orders, and watch you obey like the little puppy-dog BITCH that you are!
I meant what I said too. I am a god in this business. Not a Legend. Not anything else. I've sooooo risen above & beyond all of the cliche titles. Cause if you become the one guy who shoots me dead tonight. If you can do the unthinkable and kill me? Then you've made it to the dance. Because this my friend...
THIS RIGHT HERE... THIS RING! THIS CROWD! THIS LOUD ROAR THAT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! THIS IS THE FUCKING DANCE!!!
After all that. All of that... pent up emotion. The kind of emotion Genesis has not shown in quite some time. The crowd. The energy. The electricity soaring through out this arena. You couldn't "cut it with a knife". Cause frankly. The knife simply isn't good enough to do this justice.
IF this has to be my last dance in this ring? If this has to be the way things gotta end? Then I hope... no! I expect, Double S. That you not only just bring your 'A' game to the table. I hope you bring every ounce of strength, energy, spirit, and all of which that created you to the dance floor. If not? Trust me.... I will kill where you stand, lil' man!
Tonight? This is your only chance. Your once in a lifetime opportunity. To do what so many others couldn't. You better destroy me. While the destroying is good. Otherwise? I'm gonna have so much playin' the bad guy, and carvin' your ass up all over this arena.
And if you don't like them apples? Tough!
LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT....
LEARN TO LOVE IT....
BOOK CLOSED. END OF STORY...
DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!
And after that? Genesis tossed down his microphone. This could very well have been his last in-ring promo ever in professional wrestling. Knowing that his fate would lie in the hands of his performance. If he were to go down tonight. He had to go down giving the best he could possibly give on the microphone. After-all. This microphone. This wasn't just a 'pipe bomb', or anything else. No. To Genesis. It was his personal Machine Gun. Used to mow down, and shoot down the competition for the past seven years. What he would fail to do in the ring on bad nights. He'd back it up by giving you his best on the 'stick', if you will. And vice versa.
Double S? Be ready. This is your moment. "Carpe Diem" (Seize the Moment). Otherwise? Genesis will have the last laugh. On what will be the conclusion of this 4/5 month long feud. That outside of the MMInc takeover. Has had a grip over this entire federation ever since July's "All-Stars" PPV event.
But as most great tales in life. Everything has to come to an end sometime. For one of these men. Either Genesis or Double S. One of these careers is gonna fold tonight. While the other? Will "Rise to Stardom" forever![/i]
*END*
(Open to "OOC" feedback. As you can see. This took a long, long time to jot down. I typically try not to do these type of "novel" style RP's. In recent years. I've tried to cut back on my length. However, with this being the last show of the year. In addition to the circumstances surrounding the Double S/Genesis match-up. I had to go back to my 'roots', so to speak & pull off one last 'novel' style RP. Hopefully *knock on wood*. You guys enjoyed it. Thanks for reading it. Much less, having the patience to read through it all if you did lol.)[/center]
