Gauntlet (Starr/Styles/Lionheart)

[Avenger]

As the PPV begins the pyro goes off and the fans are on their feet. The anticipation of so many things as the year seems to be too good to be true. The Avenger comes out to his theme as he knows that tonight is to be his night. The night to regain his contract with I:W. No longer just a part time wrestler that just gets to wrestler when administration allows it but a time for him to get back in the ring in a full time basis.

He makes his way to the ring as the fans give him the respect that they always have as he is handed a mic as he begins to talk about is about to happen tonight.

Tonight is gonna be a glorious night for the Avenger. Tonight Lionheart has spoken and said that the Avenger must wrestle in this Gauntlet match against 3 of the biggest names to ever cross the airwaves of professional wrestling. The Avenger must compete against Sylas Styles, Brent Starr, and even you Lionheart. Three guys that have been bitter rivals to the Avenger in the years gone by.

Tonight the Avenger steps in the ring fighting for his career you could say. A night that the Avenger has anticipated for a very long time now. And it is gonna be a great night for you fans and a night to see if the Avenger still has it. So the Avenger knows that you three are probably in the back calculating all the things you want to do to try to hinder what the outcome is gonna be. You know the hardcore icon in you Styles probably remembers our last match in the Team Tournament. You want to probably make sure I don't make it and have bad things on your mind. You probably thinking of using some of your skills to intimidate but with the Avenger there is only thing you need to know is that the Avenger is always ready for a fight.

Then there is you Brent Starr. Our careers have crossed before. Your great career is compared in some degree to the career of the Avenger. Two great champions on different playing fields and once again we will do battle but this time not for the championship you adore but to see who really is the best? You won't be playing with Ken or what some call the Mr. Hollywood. You won't be playing with the make up artist either. You will be in the ring with what some call the greatest wrestler of our generation. Maybe the generation of the Avenger has passed but we will see when you and the Avenger lock horns as the fans get to witness it all.

And then that brings the Avenger to you Lionheart. You ordered these steps and pal you are gonna have to face the piper when it is all said and done. You and the Avenger with all that you ever dreamed of being but could never do. The jealousy of the Avenger's career you always wanted but could never accomplish. Mostly because you failed to do the hard work that is necessary to be the best in the business. Everytime anything worth fighting for you fail when you are across the ring from the Avenger. And tonight you get to see if you can keep the Avenger out of I:W forever by beating me. The Avenger has said if he loses to you at this PPV then he will not come back to I:W. But we both know that when the Avenger gets you in the ring then it will be like always a beatdown on massive standards. You won't be able to run or hide anymore. Tonight the Avenger takes care of business.

The Avenger awaits to hear from Starr/Styles/Lionheart

[Chris Lionheart]

Lionheart is smoking mad as he hears the words from the Avenger. He makes his way out to the stage area as he is ready to throw down with him.

You know what scary man nobody is afraid of you anymore. You are not the man you once was and that is obvious. Because you left and now you think you can just come back when you want and call the shots how you want? I mean when I look at everything that you have done it should of been the accolades of mine and not yours. I remember finding you in that sweat club punching a bag and with no direction. And gave you an opportunity to be more than a guy paying rent and mopping the floors there in great ole Memphis!

But you see you will face us 3 in 3 different matches. You will face Styles first and then Starr and then me. All you got to do is beat me at the end to have your precious contract. That is all you really have to do. But you won't beat me because you won't be able to walk out before the other two beat you senseless. So I can have what is left out of you. But I have told them to leave me a little so I can have my fun with you. And when I beat you for the 1-2-3 and you are looking up at the lights seeing the real "Franchise" of this company then you will see me tear your precious contract up. And then you will get to watch your contract fall like rain just like your career has fallen by the arms of me. So scary man you touch up the mascara and lets see if you are the man you once were and can manage to make it to me or just a shadow of what once was there. Honestly it won't matter because after tonight just like I got rid of that trick pony in Milano then you are next![/color]
