Ascension 77

The camera pans around the arena as the crowd comes alive.



Connor: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we are live tonight from the sold out 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! I'm Cat Connors and along side me as always, my broadcast partner, Jack Cohen.



Cohen: Thanks Cat. Pleasure as always to be here by such a pleasant looking woman as yourself, and always nice to be in Philly. I just hope the action tonight is more entertaining than 76ers have been lately.



The crowd boos loudly as Jack's smile is shown on the tron.



Connor: We definitely have some big matches tonight. New comers Frank Mortlock and Jimmy Wonder square off in one on one action, as well as a big number one contender match between Triple X and S.H.I.T.



Cohen: Not to mention former Mayhem Champion Vega teaming up with the tricky Dr. Zeus to take on Eve Taylor and Aubrey Sloan, as well as a big six man tag match that will feature our EurAsian champion Mikey Stormrage. Still no word on whether or not the fat ass will face disciplinary action for the heinous actions he and Young Justice took part in against the esteemed Chuck Myles.

Cohen: And here comes a shining example of what this company is all about.



Connor: Oh please Jack.



Matt Tastic walks to the ring, but not before stopping to dump a box of candy into his mouth throw his empty box into the crowd. He swallows and picks up a mic.



Tastic: So I've been asked day in and day for the past week. They asked me. Why? Why Stormrage? What did he ever do to you? Those are such stupid questions. People asking me why I did what I did. Saying it was heinous. Disgusting. Dishonorable. Wanna know what I think of that?



Matt flips the crowd off and then turns to the camera. He shows off the bird straight at the camera with a smug expression on his face.



I. Don't. Give. A shit. I attacked Stormrage because he has a nice piece of gold that was basically handed down to him, by his lousy, sympathetic, good for nothing “friend”. I was in a war with Fallout and he nearly took out my back like what happened last year. But when Stormrage and Howard wrestled their I Quit match, Howard simply called it quits mid-match and forfeited. Mikey didn't beat him. So why the hell does he have that title? I'm just here to correct the issue like the good samaritan that I am. I am the heart and soul of this company after all. And I have to lead by example. I-

Mikey comes out to the stage with a steel chair and microphone in hand. The Eurasian title dangling from his shoulder. Matt becomes defensive in the ring and looks on.



Woah, woah, woah, woah. Rodeo clown. Just stop it right there. Why the rush? Can't you wait for the tag team match? You'll spoil the fun. You'll-



Mikey feigns heading down to the ring, but stops after one simple step.



HEY!! I SAID STAY THERE! Don't come down here, or I'll beat you up again, fatass!



Mikey nods “no” from the stage and opens the chair, sitting on it backwards with his belt on his lap.



Stormrage: You know, I haven't even gone down there and you're already all hyper and defensive. I'm not here to fight. I just want to talk. See, I've been thinking the same things you said over the course of the week too. Why? Why me? What did I ever do to him? It took me a while, but I figured it out. There's no secret motive. And you don't have anything against me. Truth is, you're just too bitter inside and attack whoever you feel is in a better position than you, but weaker.



Matt stops pacing the ring and stays still in the middle. Listening carefully to Mikey.



You're alone. Come on, Matt. Just admit it. We're like two high school misfits. I'm the overweight nerd with the confidence issues, and you're the lonely troublemaker doing anything for attention. You get mad when no one pays attention so you do something crazy. But tell me something, after you beat Titus by spitting soda in his face.... Gotta admit, that was clever. And you were backstage all smiles and laughs, how did you feel inside? Because I know for a fact you had no one to go celebrate to. No one told you “congratulations”. No one said “good job”. You were just back there. Alone.



Mikey gets off the chair and carries it off down the aisle with him. Matt slowly backtracks in the ring as Mikey approaches and gets in the ring.



You and I are alike. Two misfits looking for a way to fit in. But you're missing something. And I see what it is. James helped me through thick and thin. Maybe that's what you need too. Listen, I know what you want. And I'm willing to give you that chance. But you need to promise me one thing. Lighten up. I know you're in it for yourself. But that doesn't mean you need to isolate yourself to a corner and be all alone. We're here for you. We all respect you. What do you say?





* Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! *





Matt looks on, but just walks by Mikey laughing in disgust.



Connor: Well it seems that Matt Tastic wanted no part of the offer from Stormrage.



Cohen: And why would he Cat? Matt Tastic is no charity case. He doesn't take hand outs, unlike some of our so called champions. Good for you Matt. I hope you give that nerd a noogie and two Indian burns later!



Connor: That match later tonight, up next Frank Mortlock locks horns with Jimmy Wonder. Don't go away!
