The Contract (Lionheart)

[Avenger]

The Avenger's theme plays as the Avenger makes his way out. The fans all stand to their feet as he makes his way to the ring. They clap as the man gets in the ring as he acknowledges them all and can't believe the reception he is getting. The music fades out as he pulls a mic out of his back pocket and begins to speak.

You know last night at the PPV was a very special night for the Avenger. Basically the month was but to defeat who the Avenger defeated gave the Avenger that extra motivation to come out here tonight. Because you fans don't know this but the Avenger come out with no contract and basically giving back to all of you that gave to the Avenger. And the Avenger just wanted to make sure you understood how much you mean to the life that is the Avenger's.

Now onto striking business and that includes you Lionheart! About a year ago the Avenger gave you his contract. The Avenger took a walk and sat back and watched from the Miami based home what was going on here at I:W. But the Avenger is here to tell you that he wants his contract back and is ready to step through those ropes once again as a contracted wrestler for I:W!

The fans go crazy as the commentators can't believe it. They all begin chanting his name. They all want to see him come back as the Avenger breathes it all in.

But since you are the owner of I:W then the Avenger needs to sign off on it. So why don't you come on down here right now and give these fans what they want. You saw what the Avenger has done and even you know what bringing the Avenger back can do. You saw the carnage and now it is time for the Avenger get back in the ring. So Lionheart we are gonna continue our business that we started last week. So don't delay and get out here so we can make this official.

The Avenger waits as the fans are on their feet looking to find Lionheart.

[The Magnificent Se7en]

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere. The image on the titantron changes to a static picture.



Which was then followed by a red, snowy screen. Which would eventually morph into "The Magnificent Se7en" logo afterwards.





After this logo flashed. We fade into a scene backstage in the parking lot area. Where only one, of the Magnificent Se7en stands in front of a camera. Holding a "Barbed-Wire Baseball Bat" in his hands. Where the other six men were at? Who knows. But this man apparently had some bad intentions on his mind tonight. When he began to speak. It became clear that this was the Mag. 7's ring leader "Christ".

Christ: "Were you expecting someone else, ghost man? ha-ha!"

[/color][/font]

He said with a sickening, guttural laugh. As he looked down to admire the bat he was holding.

Christ: "Does this look familiar to you, Vengy? My... isn't this the same weapon your buddy, ol' pal, ol' friend Gennifer used to help protect your carcass back in the old days?

Well, as you can see. That bat is mine now. Sole property of "The Magnificent Se7en". As for your little buddy? Let's just say... Genesis is "swimming with the fishes". I hear that, next week will be a special tribute show in his honor. It's unfortunate that he won't be able to see it first hand. I want him to see, what the se7en of us have witnessed for the last se7en years. How much the people hated him. His actions brought the se7en of us together for the common goal. Now? Due to his selfishness. It's gonna rub off on everyone he's ever known. Friend or Foe alike.

But enough about that brat. He's old news. Now, my focus is on you, Vengy. You see, through direct association with Genesis. You've come back at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Tell me, does the old dog in you still have enough fight left? Or do my 'men' have to put you down to sleep once and for all."[/color][/font]

At this point. The camera feed stops on the titantron. Next thing we see back at ringside. Is Avenger being surrounded by the other six members of the The Magnificent Se7en. Getting on the apron. Surrounding the ring where Avenger had no escape. Just like what happened at "Collision Course" with he and Lionheart. The "Franchise" found himself in a predicament that even he may not be able to get himself out of. If those men could do what they did to Genesis. Imagine the fun they would have devouring and picking apart of I:W's beloved superstars. [/center]

[Chris Lionheart]

Lionheart walks to the ring with Avenger's contract in hand. He slowly walks up the steps, one of the Magnificent Se7en letting him enter, surprisingly.

Upon entering the ring he offers the contract to Avenger. Avenger reaches out to accept it, but Lionheart jerks his hand back and rips the contract in half right in front of Avenger's face, throwing the remains up into the air!

Whilst the contracts flutter to the ring canvas and the concrete floor around the ring, Lionheart takes a microphone from a stagehand.

Now before you get your panties up in a bunch about what I just did... I did it for a reason. You are the avenger. Here from day one, hardly taking time off. And whist there is a part of me that thanks you deeply for that, there is another part of me that hates you for it! When people think of TNB, or I:W, they think not of Chris Lionheart, the man who owns the company, who put his neck on the line for 'the new blood' of this business, who watched other people squander opportunities at the cost of his own career. No, they think of The Avenger. And no matter how much time you sit at home they still think of The Avenger. I could have been a six time world champion in this company too, it should be me these people and those ingrates in the locker room look up to. Instead I wasn't even voted to be a Collision Course captain.

And now you want to come back, grandstanding in like nothing has changed? I guess you weren't happy with Revolution at Japan, were you? You see Genesis, Sylas Styles, Brent Starr in the spotlight on weekly Innovation:Wrestling television and you think to yourself that you just have to have more? I'm going to give you more than you can handle at 'Last Shot'. You're gonna get Sylas Styles in a classic encounter. You're gonna get the World Champion Brent Starr in the ring. And since Last Shot is being held outside of the USA, you're even going to get me! Gauntlet match to earn yourself a new contract! It's either that, or you go home and continue to be miserable in retirement!

Lionheart takes a moment to survey the ringside area, the 6 members of Mag7 not having moved, eying up both Avenger and Lionheart in the ring.

[Avenger]

The Avenger looked upon the 6 men around the ring as he took notice of what was on the screen. He felt he knew what this was all about but did not let his guard down as the men surrounded him from the outside. Lionheart then comes out as he took the contract and threw it all in his face like confetti to see the reaction. As the contract comes flying down he knew that inside there was something brewing and after all of this time it is now that it became public.

Lionheart before the Avenger addresses you let the Avenger say this first to the Magnificent Se7en or whatever they want to call themselves and that is this. Just because you come out and beat up on someone 7 on 1 and say he is with the fishes does not impress the Avenger not one bit. Just because you have this ring surrounded with your disciples and think they are something then mark the Avenger's words and that is if you were a man and a man at all then you would take action yourself instead of hiding behind some camera man or the idiots that follow you. Make no mistake the Avenger and Genesis have had their ups and downs. We were bitter enemies and the best of friends. Times were what they were. Even as we stand in this ring right now there has been a year where we have not spoke publicly. Doesn't mean that there isn't respect or bad feelings. Just know that if you think you are gonna come down and spring some magic potion then that is gonna make the Avenger bow down then you really have no idea what the Avenger is all about.

Now the Avenger had to say what he had to say about that situation and now off to Lionheart.

You know Lionheart the Avenger always knew you had a dark side to you. A side that you never let on to the crowd. A side of you that you always wanted to be something more but never got to be. The I:W as you call it or the former TNB. The federation that you proclaim is and always has been focused on what is the Avenger. No matter where the Avenger goes that seems to be the topic that gets brought up and even tonight in your cold heart.

Now don't blame the Avenger for any of your shortcomings in life. You are what you want to be. Something that the Avenger has always tried to tell the other wrestlers. Something that if you want to be a big name and a success then you go get it. You wish you were a 6 time World Champion? You wish it iwas your name in the bright lights instead of the Avenger's? Is this what this is about?

You know for a year the Avenger sat back in his Miami based home and watched what was going on. And the Avenger was good to be retired. The Avenger don't need the money but my wife says you can't be you sitting here with me. So the Avenger gets the call to come in here to be part of something pretty big. And after all the ring rust wore off it was the Avenger standing tall with the other members of Team Fyre. And as far as you being a team captain? Well maybe you are not liked or have enough to be team captain? Maybe that falls with nobody in the ring or out of it considers you to have that responsibility.

Now Lionheart you come out and destroy something that these fans want to see and why? Because you feel you have to? You tell the Avenger to get back in this ring then at the PPV the Avenger must face Styles, Starr, and then you? Well don't know if you saw it or not but the Avenger beat Styles and there is history not in here but elsewhere with Starr and the Avenger wants you to know as well as him when that happens he is not getting in the ring with a bleach blonde Hollywood star that is more concerned with his ladies then his craft. And then there is you! Don't think just because you waive the flag that you are the owner then that is gonna make it better for you. The Avenger has already beaten you up enough to get what needs to happen. From cage matches to the Avenger throwing you out a plate glass window. You stand in front of the Avenger and him getting back in the ring. That will not go well for you.

The Avenger looks deep into the soul of Lionheart as he looks at the other 6 men.

You will witness tonight like you did at the PPV that the Avenger isn't playing games. Minion will be another victim along for the ride as well as the Se7en. Styles, Starr, and Lionheart at the PPV sounds like fun for the Avenger. A challenge to get back his contract and be back home or go home as you put it? Get ready because the Avenger has sat back long enough and now he is coming for you!
