The Invincible vs. Dragon Master

[The Invincible]

(Xtreme Zone is up and running at the grand daddy of them all, Madison Square Garden in New York City. Many of the people attending the sold out event are asleep. Half of them had under slept the night before and the other half has just seen Randy Orton take on Veal Master in the dark match of the night. At least a couple of fans are just waking up to find the show on what appears to be a commercial break. However, they stay up long enough to watch the Action Zone Rebound. After being informed about the happenings on Action Zone, the people are still starving for the entertainment that they were promised. All of a sudden, the Xtreme Vision screen begins to change from black to gray. Knowing that something exciting might finally happen, good portions of the rest of the fans start to wake up, each rubbing the sleep out of their eyes. The Xtreme Zone fans anxiously look at the screen as it begins to produce the image of the Empire State Building in downtown New York. New Yorkers immediately recognize the building, but their reaction is that of confusion. The camera pans down to the foot of the building to people walking the sidewalks of New York City. The camera spots a familiar face in the crowd and zooms in. He reveals that the familiar face is that of the HaRdCoRe Patriot, The Invincible. The cameraman casually walks toward The Invincible, in attempt to get a word out of America’s Champion. However, he soon realizes that TI is with his girlfriend, Jessica, having a discussion. The cameraman seems not to mind and listens in on the conversation.)

Jessica: Hey Troy, are you a little tense?

TI: Tense? Nah. Why do you ask?

Jessica: Well, you are kind of hyperactive today. Why is that?

TI: Well, I just had a big breakfast and I haven’t worked it off quite yet. That’s probably why.

Jessica: Oh OK. For a second there, I thought you were getting nervous about your match with Dragon Master for the Ironman Championship.

TI: Why would you even think that? I mean, Lizard Master or whatever his name is, isn’t going to even come close to beating me. Everybody knows it. I mean, what in the world would make you think that?

Jessica: Well, this is someone kind of new. You haven’t seen this guy before. For all we know, he could be the next big thing of wrestling. Why are you taking him so lightly?

TI: I know this kid isn’t going to be good. I know that I haven’t wrestled him even once, nor has he even been in the same federation as I have before. But still, I’ve seen tapes of this guy. Even though he can do some cruiserweight moves, he moves about as fast as the Big Show. I am one of those people that wrestles at a very fast pace. About half of my work out is focused mainly on developing my leg strength and how fast I can run. And luckily for me, it obvious what leg of his is his worst… his left leg. And I’m hungry to lock in the De-Feater Anklelock. Heck, the last time that I locked that thing in was the Tag Team Battle Royal. Lizard Master better watch his back, and his leg, at Vertigo.

Jessica: Well, what about your record as of late? Isn’t that a cause of worry?

TI: Jessica, what in the red, white, and blue hell are you talking about? I mean, I can get what your argument is on this situation. I can see as well as anybody that a win is a win and a loss is a loss, but you have to look at how I lost. When I was in the Tag Team Battle Royal for the Tag Team Titles, I was in their with people like Vegito, Chronic, Johnny Magnum, Ric Flair and many other greats in this business. I was one of the final people in that battle royal and was tied for the last person eliminated from the match. Heck, I even helped eliminate The Tiger. I took everybody to the limit in that match. I stayed in there longer than Ric Flair, Chronic, Virus and many other great superstars. I out lasted a good portion of the ExWA roster in that match. Just because I barely lost a match, doesn’t make me a terrible wrestler. Plus, I even remember getting set up for a match on Action Zone with Chronic for the International Championship. That match is pretty much one big blur to me right now, but I do know that I came very close to beating the High Flyer. Plus, I’ve beaten the best of the best outside of this federation. In JWA:EWA, I faced off against superstars such as Virus, The Corpse, Shadow, and many others. And I’ve pinned each and every single one of them. Plus, I also remember making so many people tap out. People like The Punisher Brian Stinberg, the Big Show. And I remember making the Iron Man, Reaper, pass out to the De-Feater Anklelock. I am prepared for this guy, and I always have been.

Jessica: Well, I have even heard talk about how this guy is really good in other federations. He was even included in a top twenty-five list in another federation. Doesn’t that say anything?

TI: Only a little bit. It really doesn’t matter to me what kind of list he’s on.

Jessica: Well why?

TI: Because I don’t care about other federations. The Extreme Wrestling Alliance is the place where the big boys play. He thinks that he can just waltz in here and get a title shot. He thinks that he can just come into ExWA and be the next big thing in wrestling? I don’t think so. When I first came into JWA:EWA, did I get a title shot right off the bat? NO! He’s just like that piece of crap Goldberg guy. He thinks that just because he has a lengthy resume, that he can rocket straight to the top right off the bat. You don’t get places because of your name! You get places by what you do in a federation. Hell, if I when to his federation, I probably would never get a title shot right away. The most I ever got in a different federation was a spot in the main event, and that was because they knew who in the world I was. The only reason that you got anywhere was your resume, Lizard Master. I got where I am through hard work and determination. I got where I am from being the best, by beating the best! You don’t even deserve what you have now. What’s his face doesn’t even deserve to wrestle me, yet alone in a match with this much hype. Especially since this is his first ExWA rodeo.

Jessica: Well then, what about the hype that he has on him? I mean, a lot of people have stated that there was a lot of potential in him. What do you have to say to those people, Troy?

TI: The same thing that I say all the time that they do this stuff…<br>
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!!!

TI: Two words Jessica, TRACK… RECORD. I have a very lengthy track record of defying the odds. For example, I remember everybody saying that Tommy Polo was invincible. Tommy Polo couldn’t be beat. He’d never lose the HaRdCoRe Championship. Well, he did lose that very title, and do you remember who beat him?

Jessica: You did.

TI: That’s right I did. I beat the HaRdCoRe Legend. I made Tommy Polo stay down for a three count and lose his HaRdCoRe Championship. Heck, I also remember me getting voted the best JWA:EWA World Television Champion ever. I defended that title against ‘The Outlaw’ Senor Gomez and even took that title with me into the Elimination Chamber. I wasn’t exactly an embarrassing Television Champion. I also remember winning the Undisputed Action Zone Championship and taking it on a reign of over two months, the second longest reign in that title’s history. I defended that belt against people such as The Corpse, Reaper, Shadow and even ‘The Great One’ Triple D. There aren’t exactly many people that can match up to me. I don’t really think that this jobber is going to even come close to what I have to offer.

Jessica: Well, I guess that you are pretty confident that you are going to come out on top huh?

*TO BE CONTINUED*

[The Invincible]

TI: Well Jessica, it’s hard to not be confident when you have chances as big as I do.

Jessica: Well, I still don’t get it. Why, out of every place in New York City, did you take me to the Empire State Building?

TI: Well Jessica, what does it feel like standing next to this building and looking up at it?

Jessica: Well… I feel pretty… short.

(The couple stop their discussion for a short moment as Jessica giggles at her comments. TI finishes the rest of his speech as soon as Jessica finishes laughing.)

TI: Exactly my point. I know that this kid is probably confident about himself. But when he steps into the ring with me, he will be intimidated by the task before him. He will have to beat the HaRdCoRe Patriot. He will find out, that it won’t be an easy task.

(TI and Jessica stand in front of the building for a while before walking hand in hand down the streets of New York City. The screen begins to fade, soon cutting back to a shot of the New York natives at Madison Square Garden. They seem more ecstatic than before. The crowd is cheering, whistling, and even yelling those famous three letters over and over again…)

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

(The shot suddenly cuts to the announcer’s table, where Teddy Speaks and Irvin Fury are sitting and conversing about TI and Jessica’s recent comments about TI’s match at Vertigo. The cameraman listens in on their conversation, as does the New York audience.)

Teddy Speaks: Well Irvin, It seems as if TI has the advantage going into this best of five series match. It’s going to be tough for the new comer to topple the HaRdCoRe Patriot.

Irvin Fury: Bull shit Teddy! To me, it can go fifty/fifty. What’s his face could win and The Invincible could win. It could go either way.

Teddy Speaks: Well you heard what TI said. He gave us a ton of good reasons to believe that we will come out of it with the dub-ya. And plus, like The Invincible said, this could be just another over glorified jobber. You know, like Gene Snitsky is in World Wrestling Entertainment.

Irvin Fury: Yeah, I suppose that you are right. I mean, Lizard Master doesn’t sound like a top notch superstar.

Teddy Speaks: His name is Dragon Master, you incompetent moron!

Irvin Fury: Shut the hell up Speaks, or I’ll punch you in the face so damn hard, your ancestors will need to take pain killers!

(Out of anger, Teddy Speaks punches Irvin Fury straight in the face. The crowd erupts for Teddy’s actions. Irvin Fury falls to the floor, knocked out and in a fetal position. A new chant ensues…

Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!! Teddy!!!

(Teddy Speaks gets a good chuckle out of Irvin’s pain and then proceeds to finish the rest of his speech.)

Teddy Speaks: Oh boy, that was funny… Anyway, we’ve got some great tornado tag team action for you up next as Death’s Army… ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and Twizted Tequila Thomas go up against the team of The Tiger and G-Dawg… don’t go away!

(Teddy Speaks gathers all of his notes together in a pile and looks at his monitor. Teddy watches him smacking Irvin Fury over and over again, except from different angles. Teddy Speaks laughs harder and harder until he begins to cry at the footage. The screen fades to a promo for the Triple Threat Eurocontinental Championship match with a shot of Irvin Fury in the fetal position is shown.)
