2014.07.14: PWN - LEGACY - Long time coming
Opening on Scotty, he was in a gym locker room sitting down on a bench, sweaty and a towel around his neck, and a bottle of water in his hand. He was heading into the next LEGACY event, scheduled to take on TJ Bryce. TJ is somebody that Scotty has known for a while but the two have never really clashed in the ring which is what was going to make this show something else. Of course, Scotty always had that over grown child, Zarek Lyle, looming in the background somewhere. But Scotty would do what he could to get that match with Zarek; he'd do what he could just to have the situation done and over with because he was sick of it. Scotty was sick of Zarek being jealous. He was sick of Zarek constantly trying to establish his name as a bigger one by attacking Scotty right when they're in the middle of something huge. IRX he did it. ICWA he did it. And now LEGACY. It's always Zarek attacking Scotty. It's always Zarek that vanishes for months at a time while Scotty keeps busting his ass, and it's always Zarek that pops back up and uses Scotty to get attention. But soon enough it'll be all over. Scotty and Decaine go back, way back, and at the next event Scotty would be speaking with Decaine to get this match.
But for now the focus had to go to TJ Bryce. TJ Bryce, a man that in the ring takes no prisoners and is one of the best to date. This event would be no easy task.
[Scotty]: Ya know, Teej, we've known each other for a long time. We've worked in countless companies together but never once have we actually squared off. That is what is going to make this night special, Teej. You made your debut impressively taking out Brandon Marks, a man that hasn't been an active wrestler in close to five years. I bet that makes ya feel special, doesn't it Teej? It makes you think that you're this... this high and mighty badass wrestler because you jump a man from behind. Who knows, maybe you and Zarek would be a perfect tag team for each other. But this Friday the 17th, you're not gonna be facing somebody that you can attack from behind. You won't be facing some guy that won't be able to put up a fight. Now you've got me, you've got mister "Never Say Die." On one hand, I look forward to this, TJ. I look forward to this because it's the FIRST TIME EVER and the great fans of Carson, California get to see it. They get to see it and they'll be expecting something huge to come of it. And on the other hand, I'm not so much excited about having the match... instead I'm more determined to get out to that ring and win the match.
Scotty took a brief pause and poured some of the water over his head and used his towel to wipe some off of his face.
[Scotty]: See the difference between me and all of these other guys that you've been stepping foot in the ring with across this country... the difference is that I know how good you are. I know just what it is that you can do and what you can get done in the ring. I've seen it night after night, company after company and you're good, TJ. There's a reason you're one of the most sought after competitors in this sport. They've got you working here in Cali for LEGACY, back down in Kansas City, Missouri with MSW, all across the country you were working with the ICWA, dominant all over Canada from Maple Leaf Wrestling and we get it; I get it. That's why there's not one single moment of this match that I'm going to take lightly. There won't be one single moment of this match that I doubt you for a second, TJ, because I know that you'll go to any lengths... but I need you to understand something about me, TJ.
Scotty smirked as he looked to the camera. It was like he said, he knew how good and how dangerous TJ Bryce could be but Scotty had evolved a lot the last time they were in a company together and that alone should be enough to open TJ's eyes but he was arrogant, and really only cared about himself and maybe Roman Gold; and rightfully so but it could also end up being his down fall.
[Scotty]: The last time that you and I were in a promotion together, Teej, it wasn't that long ago actually. But in the time we've known each other, Teej, we've both evolved but I've evolved into something much more than anybody ever expected. I busted my ass, I took the beatings in the ring, put myself on the line and I've even had my own partner turn on me but I made it to the top. I made it to the top of that mountain, TJ, the place nobody thought I'd ever be, a place that even Zarek Lyle is still in denial of, and after nine long years of working my way up there, Teej, I don't plan to come back down any time soon. So what does that mean? What it means is that I'm going to the ring to give it my all. I'm going to the ring to do what I do best: Innovate, entertain and most importantly, win. So don't doubt me, TJ, don't you doubt me for one single solitary second because I've built myself off of people doubting me. I've build my career on being held down, on being underestimated but this was the year of Addams. This was the year that the glass ceiling above me finally shattered after pushing and pushing on it over and over again!
Scotty chuckled, shook his head and stood from the bench.
[Scotty]: After the 17th, our destiny's against each other will be far from over. You and I will collide against, TJ, and when we do maybe the outcome will be different. When we collide again maybe the cards will play differently in your hand, but on the 17th; Zerek Lyle or no Zarek Lyle, Roman Gold or no Roman Gold or whatever or WHOMever you have hidden up your sleeve.. I've got a point to prove. I've got a point to prove and this is where you come in, Decaine.
Here is where things got interesting.
[Scotty]: This is where the man that helped create the man that stands here today comes in. This is where the MASTER of Innovation comes in. When all is said and done on the 17th at Break on Through, give me Lyle. Give me ZAREK LYLE! See, I'm sick of his whining, and I'm sick of his crying. I'm sick of him jumping me from behind and playing the victim. Enough is enough and it's time something is done about it and I want you to make the match, Decaine. I want you to give me Lyle so I can kick his skull in and get this done and over with so the child in him can move on and grow up! TJ, Friday the 17th it's you and me, one on one, we'll tear the house down but at the end of the day the one with his hand raised... you're lookin' at him.
