Backstage Segment (O2Reactions)

[Sylas Styles]

Partway through Showdown the feed cuts to a backstage camera where many employees, security and random people are seen scattering with bodies flying into camera view.
Screams can be heard off camera as more people begin running past the cameras viewpoint.
Finally after 30 seconds of total footage the image of Sylas Styles is shown walking slowly into view as a larger security man tries to stop him.
The man puts up both hands trying to physically stop Sylas from proceeding further into the building. He's caught with a solid kick to the midsection, and is then tossed through the windshield of a car to the side of them.
Sylas starts walking through the building again as cameras change showing his path from place to place.
Finally as he reaches the backstage area where the wrestlers leave to head to the ring he speaks looking at the camera, and all around him.
JOKER!!!

Lionheart!!!

You boys better get your *BEEEEEEEP* paperwork ready and let me fight. You either sign me back active or I swear I will add body after body. Victim after victim.

I will pile your entire company, man and women, to the sky in one bloody heap.

Another security guard comes running into the scene and slowly approaches Sylas, who in turn spins and kicks the man in the side of the head hard enough, that as the guy hits the floor, a pool of blood surrounds his head within seconds.

JOKER!

LIONHEART!

[Chris Lionheart]

Lionheart happens to be close by, and rushes towards the scene shouting for security to call an ambulance for the fallen guard, and see to his injuries. His best course of action, he decided, was to try to calm Sylas before anyone else ended-up on the floor with their heads pissing blood.

This ain't no 'Revenge Mode', motherfucker. My security guards, camera men, EMTs and... strangely out of place construction workers aren't for killing. Now I don't know why you've clearly gotten more in touch with the 'old' Sylas, the one I used to know, but I like it. Now... you say you want to be re-signed, eh? Why don't we talk about that?

[Sylas Styles]

Talk about it? Talking isn't going to bring back my friends. Or my sister. There is nothing to talk about with me. This is on Joker's head too.

He falls to his ass on the floor, not to far from the fallen guard. The blood pooling up slower now, but still within his reach.

I didn't take the walk so he could take 10 steps back from where I built him up to be. That clown is NOTHING NOW. I left with him on the mountain top so he could take the torch. NOT EXTINGUISH IT!

I wish it was easier then this, but I'm left with no choice. This business is all I have left now, and I won't sit back and let it go down the shitter because some poor excuses of wrestlers think they can skip the hard work, pay no dues, and be in the big time.

He places his hands on his head. One on either side, and rocks himself back and forth as if to calm himself down.

I'm 31 Chris. I'm still getting to my peak prime age for this business. I'm not ready to sit poolside and drink Iced Teas, neglecting the down fall of the business. I've got more to give still. More then some of the rookies will in their entire career.

A dark place Chris, a dark place. I'm THERE!. Put me in that ring and let me teach them. Let ME handle business and I promise you. You will reap all the rewards. All the way to the bank. Just sit back in your chair, and let the publicity do the rest.

[Chris Lionheart]

Lionheart kneels beside Sylas, and takes in what he has had to say.

You know what? I have no problem with doing that. There was a time where I almost convinced myself that 'all new', 'young guys', 'fresh competitors' were the future. Look back to some of yesteryear's favorites to rise up and grab the brass ring, and it's surprising which of them did and which of them didn't. I guess sometimes there is something to be said for age and experience. If you want to come back, I'll get that paperwork in order. Same way I would for Avenger, Ash Dixon, Bryan Daniels or anyone else from the past. As a favor to yourself though, don't come back as half the man you used to be, you know? If I'm gonna advertise the Return of Sylas Styles, then I want the Sylas Styles that I went to war with. Not the 2009 war over authoritative control of this company, but the 2005-2006 Sylas Styles. The one whom, along with me, held a company on our backs and made people know the difference between old timers who were inactive, and young guys who truly knew what it was to be hungry for success... I want the 'old' Sylas Styles! Just like I'm sure people look at me in this fucking suit and tie and want the 'old' Lionheart back again...

[Sylas Styles]

Believe me.. in my mind, nothing between 2007 and now, exists anymore. It's better if the world forgets those years. It's better if I forget those years. I lost 20 years of life with Sireena. I feel like it was only yesterday when Aaron brought her back to me in VWE. I got 5 years to live with her in my life, and now she's gone again.

This world is a cruel place Chris. My only plan is to make it MY cruel world.

He then just sits their, motionless, as if he's lost in a trance.
The lights are on, nobody is home.
The car is driving down the highway, but the driver is not at the wheel anymore.
Oh yes, he was going to get back 2005.
He was going to get back that war.
And I:W, was about to become a lunatics playground.
I feel sorry for whoever became the first in ring victim

[JOKEr]

One could say Finnally JOKEr makes his way into view. He doesn't look pleased at the way he has been blamed for "dropping the ball". He moves right next to Chris.

"First and for most, lets not forget who retired Styles... Doesn't matter which version you want to call me... it was me, and don't forget that... You need to remember that. I am the one who controls if he returns....

But don't get me wrong. I wont stop him from returning.. though the first person who shall face him is.... JOKEr.. the guy who couldn't "carry" the torch... I will face him in a match... and that's my condition to allowing him to return.
