Let's Go! (Open Challenge)

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

~As ShowDown returns from a commercial break, Kid Ink's "Hell & Back" begins to play throughout the arena. Small groups of cheers is heard around the arena. After his debut, the crowd knows who is coming down to the ring. Dont'e emerges from backstage staring out to the crowd. He lowers his head and walks down to the ring. He doesn't acknowledge the cheers or anything. Like he told Genesis, it doesn't matter whether the fans love him or hate him, he is there to work hard and move on.~

~He enters the ring and immediately grabs the microphone that is handed to him. He stares out to the fans of the I:W before him. This is the first time that he is speaking out to the I:W universe. He slowly raises the microphone to his lips. His first words escape soon after.~

"At All-Stars I did what I said I was gonna do. I walked down to the ring and beat Genesis and moved on. I will admit that it felt great to wrestle before you fans of the I:W. *The fans cheer for a moment before quieting down.* I really donno what happened at the end of the match though. I clipped the back of Genesis' knee and quickly went for the pin. I never thought that I would get the three count after that. I donno if Genesis was hurt or if there was so much power behind my shoulder to the back of his knee that we couldn't kick out of the pin. Obviously I'm gonna think about that but I ain't gonna let it keep me from moving on. I upset Genesis and now that is the past. It's time for my next step here in the I:W. I mean if Genesis wants another match then hell yeah I'll be down for that, but if not then I'm gonna make it open. I'm extending an open challenge to anyone in the back. I'm hungry for more so LET'S GO!"

~The crowd jumps to their feet in cheers after Dont'e yelled on the microphone. It seems as if everyone was now pumped up. Dont'e himself is pumped and ready to go. With his debut out of the way, it's now time to keep things rolling. He patiently waits for the sound of his next challenger's theme music.~

[Craig Helman]

Am I A Psycho starts to play but is immediately interrupted and AM I EVIL by Metallica starts to play in its place as Craig Helman makes his way out onto the arena stage clapping his hands,

Way to go Dont'e, you beat Genesis because of a fluke, did you see how many times that man stepped into this ring at AllStars? A man that has his owns problems with a couple of people in this company.

Craig walks down to the ring and steps through the ropes,

Now you want to come out here and say that you are hungry for more and that you are making an open challenge. Well Dont'e let me be the first, or should I say second person to step into this ring with you. Hell Dont'e, I will even let you pick the type of match that you want. BUt I just ask that we make it a little interesting and exciting for all these fans out here.

Helman stands in the corner of the ring awaiting a response.....

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

~Dont'e chuckles to himself for a moment.~

"A fluke?"

~Dont'e chuckles to himself again. How could the match have been a fluke? The people and the things they say.~

"Now why don't ya' enlighten me and tell me how my match last week with Genesis was a fluke? You for sure are right though, Genesis did have a lot of matches that night. It don't matter though 'cause the match between the two of us was his first match that night. There's no excuse there man. I still don't understand the ending of that match but it don't matter anymore. Time to focus on tonight. Tonight it involves the both of us in the ring going head to head. I get to choose the match type too? Hmm, I guess that's nice of ya' man."

~Dont'e shakes his head and ponders for a moment a match type that he would like to have. He has been through a lot so the match type didn't matter at all. What would the match type be?~

"Honestly it don't matter to me the type of match we have. Since you wanna make it interesting why don't we have a First Blood match. That way we gonna have an interesting match without getting to crazy. The match doesn't end until one of us is a bloody mess....."

~After his last words, a memory immediately fills his mind. Blood covered his face and his shirt, stained with blood from the wounds in his arms and body. The memory is vivid. He can see both his mother, father, and a family friend lying in a pool of their own blood. He can see a group of men running away in the background.~

~His mind now returns to the ring. His fists tighten. Anger fills his body from head to toe. He looks over at Craig. He tries to keep himself in control before he does something that he would regret. He raises the microphone to his lips.~

"What's your answer? Make it quick man."

[Craig Helman]

Helman notices the expression on Dont'es face after saying bloody mess.

Well man, it seems that you have some personal issues that are running rampant on your mind after saying bloody mess, did something happen to you when you were younger that still haunts you from time to time.

Helman remembers back to his child hood and shrugs his shoulders at the thought of his father.

Trust me man, that whatever it is that haunts you, it is best to let it out, get rid of all the bad memories and get on with your life, I can tell you form experience that things can only get better with time.

Helman drops the mic and stops to think for a moment on the type of match that Dont'e has proposed for them to be in.

Well Dont'e you pick a first blood match and you want my answer.Well Dont'e, my answer to that question is YES, lets see who will be the first to make their opponent's red life force flow from them. So Dont'e we will see who the bloody mess will be.

Helman leaves the ring and starts to walk back up the ramp, when he reaches the stage area, Helman turns around, puts the mic back up to his mouth.

Oh and Dont'e, just think about what I had just said to you about the past, I want you at 100% for our match, I dont want anything to be on your mind when you are standing across from me in that ring and I want you to bring your A game.

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"Don't ya' worry about anything, my A game will be there man."

~Dont'e says this to himself as Craig returns backstage. Dont'e drops the microphone to the mat. His breathing begins to return to normal. His muscles begin to loosen. He looks from his left to his right out to the fans of the I:W. Such innocent people they seem to be. They seem innocent but that can quickly change in a heartbeat. Sometimes they can never seem to make up their minds whether or not the love a competitor or hate them in any way, shape, or form down to the core. He lowers his head and exits the ring. He walks up the ramp and returns backstage to prepare for his match with Craig Helman.~
