Tapped Out (Avenger)

[Angel Fyre]

After almost 35 minutes in a match with the Avenger, we see the Avenger finally giving up. Both men are busted wide open and blood flowing from both men. As the Avenger taps, both men collapsed and the Avenger on his face and Angel on his back. Angel can't believe the night he just had. Over an hour in the ring with two men that put him through hell. But tonight was a night of triumph and redirection.

Emergency Management comes down as they try to bandage up both men but Angel would have none of it. He ran them away as he picks up the Avenger and everyone thought he was going to deliver his finisher. Instead he taps the Avenger on his chest and puts his hand on his head as he hugs the warrior because he knew that was it for him. There were some words spoke but no one really knew what was said. Then he picks up a mic.

This is your time! But to you let me just say thank you for what you have done for me and this place. I know you won't be gone forever but at least I can say that we battled for 35 minutes and you gave all you had and I gave all I had. I am always out to win the match but tonight it ain't about that. It is about the future of this sport and to remember the past as we have seen this year and tonight especially. I am not out here to steal your thunder but to thank you for allowing me to be your last match under your contract.

Angel gasps as we see blood flowing from both men while speaking. He looks at the Avenger wondering if the guy will say anything or just walk out of the building...

*The Avenger knows he just lost but can feel the electricity from the crowd. He looks at Angel as he puts both hands on each side of his face and draws him near. Speaking to him but only words that he wanted to share with Angel. Nose to nose they were as you could see both men jumping as it ignited both of them to no end. Avenger lets go and then takes a step back as Angel stands there looking at him. The Avenger turns his attention to the fans as he knew this was a moment that he was unsure about but knew he had to speak something.*

The Avenger comes in and out each and every week giving you all his best. And tonight was no different. But everything that the Avenger has went through and gave each and every one of you is what makes this company the best. And as the Avenger stands here he knows himself that he gave and received from the best damn company and the best damn fans alive today. This is home to the Avenger and always has been. And home is where you lay your hat you could say.

Tonight the Avenger did 3 things that he really wanted to do. The first one was give Lionheart the contract of my services and it will be his decision on the future of the Avenger. The Avenger has done all he can do really and nothing more to prove. From his first title being the hardcore title to becoming the biggest champion this company has ever produced. The Avenger takes pride in that and wouldn't change one moment of the life of the Avenger.

But there is a new day dawning. We have seen it from the defeats and retirements of Lionheart to Styles to Genesis and now to the Avenger. But the Avenger is out here to tell you that he will be around and he will watch from a distance. He will see the ins and outs of this company and here to tell ya that there is nothing that drove the Avenger into a peaceful place but the Avenger. No politics or no BS put the Avenger in the place of taking a leave and letting the new guys shine. That has always been the motto around here. And not matter what the guys in the back think that is the truth. The Avenger just hopes that these new guys/gals that are here bust their hump or the Avenger may come back and straighten them out.

So this is not a retirement speech because the Avenger is still going to be here but it is time for other guys to step up their game and take the ball that guys like the Avenger and Genesis and Styles created for the world to see.

*The fans cheer the Avenger as they love him and want to see more from him.*

The second thing is that the Avenger did tonight was drive Moneymaker through the concrete. It has been a long time coming but thanks to Lionheart the match was not really for me but for everyone that took his crap! The majority was thrown at the Avenger and the Avenger complimented by doing what he does best and that is bringing him down a few notches.

And the third thing is the Avenger did was wrestle this man in the ring right here. He has sat back and watched for the most part what he could be and now it is his time to embrace the fans. The bad guy approach was very entertaining but the fans deserve more and the Avenger believes you will see a new side of Angel Fyre. He sees the success of guys like Joker and The Stone and Ryan Whyte. He can be that guy but he has to pay the price. And the Avenger won't let in on what he said to Fyre earlier. That is between him and the Avenger. Just know that it will "Fyre" him up!

*The fans are screaming "Tell Us" over and over again and then a mixture of chants for Fyre as you can see the tide turning a little bit.*

Again this is not good-bye or farewell. But this is a new beginning and a new chapter. The Avenger will be here and wrestle if Lionheart sees fit. But now you got a new breed of talent about to take this company to the next level. And before any of you cry or say don't do this then the Avenger wants all of you to realize like the boys in the back that the Avenger was never the "Franchise." You guys in the back that busted your ass for the years to be here. That is what makes a "Franchise." Not one person but many people devoted to one goal and not walking out because your feelings got hurt. You want to know how to get to the top? Go ask MG Cage! He will tell ya. It is by busting your damn ass each week. Cage you will be a champion of merit here the Avenger guarantees it if you continue doing what you are doing just like Angel Fyre here.

So to everyone that wants to see the Avenger next year each and every week? Well not saying that won't happen but saying it is a long shot. Will the Avenger sign another contract? Time will tell but one thing is for sure about it all is that if the Avenger wrestles again it won't be up North or East or even West. It will be right where the Avenger was born and that is in front of all of you because you are family and the Avenger is home!

*The Avenger drops the mic as he goes over to Angel one last time.*
