Back? Maybe(o2a)

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Divide by Disturbed plays over the PA as Manor steps out onto stage sporting a shorter hair cut than last week and wearing a black robe as the crowd cheers for him with a quiet hint of boos. Making his way down to the ring, he poses while walking and slaps hands with several fans. Finally reaching the ring, he leaps up onto the apron and raises his arm garnering a louder cheer, before stepping into the ring. Eventually he grabs a mic with a smile and raises it to his mouth.

Did you miss me ?! A loud cheer bursts out along with a "You still got it" chant as Manor smiles before continuing when the crowd quiets down. Glad to here it, cause I had a blast last week.

Another cheer before Manor gets a chance to continue. Anyone who's followed me since my appearance in Mexico, knows I've had some thoughts on Sentoryu, and I stand by them. This time Manor, gets mainly boos with that comment, but he just nods his head calmly. Not the most popular opinion, I know. However, despite my opinion of him as a person, as a talent he's a great one.

Manor holds up his hand with only the index finger sticking in the air. But that was his downfall. Anyone who has followed my career knows about the Maniac Curse. The curse that any dominant superstar suffers when they step into the ring with me. Manor lowers his hand as he continues. That's why one-on-one, Avenger has never beaten me, and why Sentoryu fell to me last week.

A quieter cheer comes from the crowd as he continues. And now I've set Sentoryu back in this tournament. Not a fellow All-Star competitor, but a clown. The guy who has questioned not his ability, but his honor beat him last week in front of everyone, because it takes more than the kitchen sink to keep me down. And after the names he's beaten, I'd expect that loss to stick in the back of his mind anytime someone compares him to me in any way.

Manor turns towards the stage. Anyways though, last week after the show went off the air, I made an appearance in this ring that fueled rumors of my return on a full time basis. Those who saw the new outfit, were right on the money. I'm back and I'm issuing an open challenge to come down here and be my first opponent to help me break my new gear in. Manor lowers the mic and waits for someone to make an appearance.

[JOKEr]

He doesn't wait long before, before Changes plays. No one comes for a few minutes. Then out walks a man with a trench coat his face covered by a towel. He has a mic in his hand. A hand which is covered by black tape only leaving the fingers free. He draws the mic to his lips under the towel..

"So Manor, your having a coming out party... You want everyone to believe your cursed.. That's fine. I'll play that game.. I mean how much lower I can go... So what do you say... Why don't you break in that gear against someone breaking in a new set as well...

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Manor raises his mic with a smirk. Weeeeeeellllllllllllll it's not really a curse all the time. Sometimes it's a blessing for me. I guess you could call it a blurse. Last week for Sentoryu it was a curse, but for me a blessing. But more importantly... Manor tilts his head to the side a bit. ...what's under that towel?

You're not a lizard-dude are ya'? I couldn't wrestle you if you are. I used to have this Iguana. Whipped my ass all the time. He literally would whip me with his tail whenever I tried to feed him. It took all my effort just to get him in his tank when he would occasionally escape.

Manor shakes his head with a chuckle. I'm rambling again. Apologies Emperor Palpatine. You wanted a match, and a match you shall have dark lord. Just be warned, if you use your force lightning, you should be disqualified. I mean you probably won't with these refs, but you should. Manor points towards the man on stage.

A match for the ages! The one and only, Scott "Maniac" Manor in the red corner. And across the ring in the blue corner... Manor stops for a second to think as he scratches his head. Seriously who are you? I mean no disrespect, but with the towel and while I've seen parts, I've still been a little out of the loop. So wanna do me a solid and tell me your name so I can finish yelling out epically our match? Manor lowers the mic smiling waiting for the man to respond.

[JOKEr]

The man lifts his towel, as long black hair comes from the underneath. The first thing that comes info view is a painted smile. Once the towel hits the stage, there is no question on who he is. The man called JOKEr stands smiling his twisted smile.

" You should know who I am, I have put you on the shelve for weeks. But in case you can't remember due to head damage... But I am JOKEr, and I am no lizard... I also have no worry of your blurse.... The clown shall stop to dead in your tracks Maniac... You shall be the start of my rise from the ashes...

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Manor crosses his arms with the mic resting close to his mouth as he nods his head. So you've injured me and put me on the shelf for a couple weeks before? Impressive. Very impressive to injure me when we haven't ever squared off. You are a user of the dark force indeed to accomplish such a feat.

Manor shudders a little. Though clowns aren't much better than lizard people. I mean you got a circus and they always have that "Imma kill you" smile. At a place for kids no less. One of the creepiest things evar. Manor shrugs his shoulders as he uncrosses his arms.

But hey, if you really think knocking me off will boost your career, take a shot. We'll call it the battle of the Phoenixes. JOKEr's attempt to get back to where he used to be when MoneyMaker Inc existed. Against my attempt to show that...uhm...well I guess I'm not really a phoenix with a goal looking to rise from the ashes. Not really sure what I am. I really gotta stop rambling.

The smirk disappears from Manor's face. Anyways, lets see if you can back up your words of rising at my expense. We'll see if you could do what the dishonorable one couldn't. I'm back to make a point, and I won't hesitate to make that point at someone else's expense. Manor just stares towards JOKEr, not even a smile in his eyes as he lowers the mic clearly ready for the match.
