My Star will Rise (o2 Ryan, Brent, Jason)

[Shawn Youngblood]

Shawn Youngblood walks from the back, with his sunglasses off, looking very serious. He quickly climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone.

Let me make a couple of things perfectly clear right off the bat. Yes, I keep loosing choice matches in my attempts to capture the TNB Undisputed title. But I win some of them, and I even pulled out the win last week against Malachi Payne inside of a steel cage. All I need to do is to have luck on my side in one of these title shots when the strap is on the line, and you all could be looking at the future Undisputed champion of the world. Right now that's what you people need. Someone like me who's here each and every week, weather he wins a steel cage match, or gets obliterated by Brent Starr, I don't pick and choose when to come and please you fans, like Ryan Whyte - the so-called current champion - does. Brent Starr, the guy who's been kicking my ass for the past month, I don't like you, but you've earned my respect lately.

Shawn makes a title belt motion around his waist as the crowd are mixed with cheers and boos.

If I get that title... man... it'd mean I would have done what so many tag team wrestlers haven't done. Step out of their lable as being a "tag team guy". I've done it before, I've had numerous title belts in the past, but never the top belt in this industry, the one with the most history behind it. If I won that belt I would be able to do what so many wrestling brothers are never able to do, which is step out of the larger-than-life brother's shadow. Categorically Jason's star has always shone much brighter than my own, because I was also doing movies at the same time. I was part-time, he was in it for the full. Or at least... that's how it used to be.

Shawn waits for the crowd to die down as they react to his last comment.

When Jason was champion, I supported him. But when we were tag champions and had our belts stolen, all he cared about was his World Title. But that's okay, I told myself, we're brothers. So I took it upon myself, because I like the competition and the spirit of it all, to extend my 1on1 title shot tonight and turn it into a four way dance. Myself, the champion Ryan Whyte, and the former champion Jason Youngblood. Now I don't know where Jason is, weather he's gotten into the building yet tonight. I know he travelled alone, whilst Lucy, Shayne and I traveled together. I hope he's about to walk from the back and say a few words about the upcoming title match that I hooked him up with because I'm so nice... but brother of mine... if you don't support me like I supported you, by coming out tonight putting on a great match - capping off a great year that you had on a high note...

If you don't do that, well then, if you dare show your face next year I will be taking a ladder to it, right before I pull 'my' TNB Undisputed title down and celebrate my successful defense.

[Ryan Whyte]

Immediately after Shawn Youngblood finished his words, the theme music of Ryan Whtye began playing. Like usually, the crowd begins to cheer. The cheers weren't as loud this time around though. Like Shawn, many of the fans were a bit disappointed that Ryan hasn't been showing up consistently to shows to compete. He definitely has some explaining to do.

He makes his appearance onstage with the title strapped around his waist and already wearing his ring gear. He walks down the ramps and enters the ring. For a moment he stops and he and Shawn exchange a quick stare down. After breaking the locked eyes, Ryan signals for a microphone. After he receives it he goes on into his words.

"Yes, lately I haven't been around as much as I like to. Yes I do feel as though I am letting you all down. Yes I do apologize deeply for my absence. When personal life calls then I have to answer. Something very sad has happened about two weeks ago and well I had to be there for support. There was just no way that I was gonna leave a friend, better yet, a family member, alone to go through what happened. Once again I do apologize for my lack of activity, but I am here now on the grandest stage of them all, Rise to Stardom!"

The crowd cheers in the background as they are too excited for the show.

"Shawn, I understand that this match means so much for you. Originally this was supposed to be a one on one match between the two of us for the title, but I guess that may have changed. To be honest I'd rather have it be between the two of us since we have unsettled business, but in the end it really doesn't matter to me who is in the match. It just sucks that I missed the past couple weeks 'cause this match could have been hyped up so much more. I take complete blame for that Shawn. I don't want to be called an absentee champion when I really did have personal issues that needed to be resolved. But that all doesn't matter 'cause I'm here and ready to fight. If we do have a one on one match, I don't care what it will be, I'm just ready to put my title on the line. I have been away too long and I'm more than excited to get back into the swing of things and put everything on the line here tonight on the final pay per view of this season. Let's go!"
