"Yo man, what have you gotten us into."
We open up in the back stage area of the arena shortly after Collision goes off air. Venom and Doc are walking with there gym bags over there shoulders as they head out of the arena.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what happened out there tonight. Before I left Angel and AJ still hated each other and now we're somehow putting our belts on the line against them and there...BLOOD TIE!"
Doc laughs.
"Seriously though man, you need to let me know whats going on with you."
"Listen, it's nothing to worry about. I have a little problem with Angel and my sister and of course AJ had to jump in. That's it man, nothing more then that and now we have a tag team title defense to make."
"That's all well and good man but you're pissing people off around here. AJ is suppose to be a 'Good guy' and you breaking the past down for him like that seemed to put him over the edge. I wasn't even going to be at Collision tonight and if I wasn't you'd have to go back to the hotel and ice more then just your balls tonight."
"I had it under control."
"Of course you did, and that's a part of the problem right there, you always seem to think you have it under control. We're a team Doc, and lately instead of being the Los Angels Lakers we've been the Cavilers and one of our star players is running off and making everything about him instead of the team. We need to regroup and make this about the Young Guns again."
"Young Guns huh, what about the Front Office."
"Listen to me and listen to me really close Doc, I have no problem with you quitting the Front Office and as far as I'm concerned when Battle Grounds has past so has our relationship with the Young Guns. We came to the Front Office to try and change things and show the World what they needed and I realized something this past week, we didn't need Steve Awesome or the Front Office to do it. We thought we needed the power but it didn't help us win these titles, it in fact was going to make us not even get the opportunity to win these titles if Will Washington didn't go all power trip on his partner. It didn't help JFK get his title. We weren't even a part of the Front Office when Charlie Velez won the National Championship. We've done everything we can with the Front Office, and once Battle Grounds is over and Charlie Velez leads that team to victory over the Revolution then I don't see any reason to carry Steve and Leo's team to victory anymore."
Doc gives Venom a huge smile as they reach the arena exit and the camera stops as they pass through the doors. The scene fades into a new scene and it is Venom sitting in grass in front of the Hollywood sign. He's dressed the part tonight as he has his sunglasses on with a white dress shirt and a pair of faded jeans. He smiles at the camera as the wind blows through the grass and his hair.
"I shined like a star once again this week people. I walked into that ring on a show that use to be called the "B Show" and tore the house down and pulled one of the many thorns that has been in my side right out. This week though it seems like I have fallen into a whole field of thorn bushes because where I got rid of one another that I could swear I've pulled out multiple times appears in the form of Alex Jones. That's right, he is no longer the "Flaming Phoenix" that some of my loyal followers may remember from my past, no, now he is the "American Nightmare" and one half of the team I am facing at Battle Grounds."
Venom nods for a few second before continuing.
"If you people thought Doc made the history between AJ and himself look like a battle from hell last week, you haven't seen anything yet with the history between myself and AJ. We went from a friendly relationship where I mentored a young AJ to a near stalker relationship where AJ and his buddies followed me around everywhere I went trying to one up everything I did. It later turned into a more friendly rivalry but it ended when I called it quits and left full time wrestling to be a family man, something AJ is trying to do on national television."
"While I was gone AJ went on to establish himself as a big time talent. He went on to rule the place that was once mine. The only problem is that with his ascension came the companies demise. Coincidence? That's not for me to decide right now, what it is time for me to do is to prove that the only way AJ could ever reach the top is when I am not in his way. While I was gone AJ also made a name for himself here, a new name though was all he could come up with because he has only established himself here as someone who will never reach the top from as far as I can tell."
Venom smirks.
"Battle Grounds isn't about our past or how AJ likes to show off his ever changing family on TV to get crowd sympathy. No, this is about the Young Guns proving that we aren't just a bunch of stay overs from a dead company who can't compete with the real talents that NCW has to offer. It's a chance for the Young Guns to show that we can take out long time NCWers in the forms of AJ and Angel. Most importantly though, it's about AJ and Angel overcoming there differences to team together and show the World that the past is the past."
Venom stops and rolls his eyes.
"These two battle for months on end and destroy each other and before there wounds have even healed they are together licking each others wounds. That says to me two things, either they never really hated each other and we using this 'Family war' to get the crowd to give two ****s about them or they are both just complete idiots. I have no problem saying that Alex Jones is an idiot because, well, he is. I've known him for years and the guy has less brain cells then a lab rat, but I don't know Angel and considering everything he's done here in NCW I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt. Once again though, I look at his tag team partner and I can't help but thinking that there isn't something quite right with Angel."
"When I came to NCW Angel was the big man on campus, he held the gold and all the power. When I came here no one would say a bad thing about him other then that he was an evil son of a bitch. Lately though, people aren't so afraid of the big bad wolf anymore. After watching Angel get knocked down from the clouds by Gib and then Kane people don't seem to fear the man anymore. After watching him hook up with the biggest slut in the wrestling industry with Tara and try and become a changed man people realize that this is no longer the man who terrorized the roster for all those months as NCW Champion. I though, don't take peoples word for it. I do my research, and after I seen the recent altercations between you and Doc I knew I better research you Angel and I've decided that no matter how soft you may have gotten that there is still that demon locked inside that can rip out at anytime."
"Most people here in the NCW would be scared at the thought of that Angel. I though, am not most people. I am in fact, just like you. I'm a former World Champion that no one seems to believe in anymore. I'm a name that people use to shutter when they seen it next to theirs on the event cards. I'm someone people use to fear. I'm also someone who is trying to prove that use to is a term that you shouldn't use next to my name. We're both trying to regain back what pull we had in this business, the only difference between us is that you've lost yours only recently and a big win at Battle Grounds is probably all you'll need to make people see the light while I will probably have to keep fighting, win or lose, just to get these people to realize that I am what I say I am."
"This week at Battle Grounds, it will be war to show the world that the Young Guns are a cohesive unit. It will be a war to show that the Young Guns are better then any team NCW can throw together to face us. We'll all be locked up inside that steel structure and one at a time we'll attempt to take out the team of Angel and AJ. We're going to steal the show inside the steel structure and we're going to show the world what real tag team wrestling is like. We're going to show the world that the Young Guns can and will lean on each other for support and we will do it on one of the grandest stages of them all. In the end, Hollywood wouldn't have been able to write it better, because in Hollywood the 'Bad Guys' never win, in NCW though, the Young Guns rein supreme."
With that, we fade to black.
