10-31-2014 Promo (Several Names Mentioned)

[Brandon]

*The 10/31/2014 Logo flashed on the titantron as thelights went out throughout the arena. Moments later, "Run On" byBlues Saraceno starts to play over the PA system as the crowd erupts to astanding ovation. About 30 seconds into the song. The lights come back on andwe see a man dressed in all black from head to toe climbing over the securityrailing at ringside. When the cameras zoom in and are positioned to reveal whothis man is, we see that it's none other than GENESIS! Sporting a darker look,complete with a long, black leather trench coat, he enters the ring with hisjacket buttoned up. He walks over and grabs the microphone from Ring Announcer,Zoey Valentine. As he walks over to the ring ropes where the hard camera ispositioned, the music starts to fade as Genesis raises the microphone to hislips and speaks for the first time in MONTHS!*

 

Genesis: "Before I go any further. I want everyone to direct your attention over to the titantron."

 

*Video footage of the closing moments of GZWA "Final Encounter" is shown. This was the last time the GZWA Nation heard from Genesis publicly, as he was beaten along with AJ Styles by TNA World Champion,Hano Eiyu. After we see the final moments of this match take place, we switch to the "ReAction" broadcast where Christy Hemme and the ReAction cameras attempted to get a word from Genesis*

*RINGSIDE*

*Minutes after the World Title Match*

After the smoke had cleared and the dust settled, everyone had left the ringside area but Genesis. After the match was over, Genesis refused to leave the ring. He sat there and sulked. He thought about everything that had just happened tonight. In three seconds, his dreams were shattered. In three seconds, everything he had fought for in the last three years was gone. At the end of the day, Genesis had mixed emotions. A big part of him was angry and bitter about the way things ended for him. Another part of him, was hurt -- not physically, but emotionally. Tonight, he felt betrayed by the company that he worked so hard for to get to where he needed to be. You can look at this in many different angles and ways, but in his heart of hearts, he knew that an injustice had occurred. It took four people to defeat one Genesis tonight. Ironically, each of them had very strong ties to him, and not in a good way. Kayda Erikson, a woman that was (supposedly) revealed to be Gen's sister and someone who Genesis had made life a living hell for her since day one. CM Punk, a man that Genesis had issues with and played a big part in the "Slammiversary Screwjob", allowing Xion Zeros to cost him the match and hand Genesis the victory on a silver platter. AJ Styles, a man that Genesis has had a long, storied rivalry with. A rivarly that many felt put both men on the map here in the GZWA. Lastly, the newly crowned GZWA World Champion, Hano Eiyu. A man that Genesis underestimated and frowned upon for far too long.... and the man who handed Genesis his defeat tonight at Final Encounter. 

Was it karma? Was it fate? Was this Genesis' last stand? Was tonight going to be his Final Encounter?

This sounded too good to be true. The four wrestlers that Genesis had strong, but bitter ties with, each played a hand in driving the stake through the heart of the "King of Controversy". The war was over, and the people who Genesis had hurt and tried to destroy over the years, they all came out having the last laugh.... or did they?

Genesis continued to sit in the center of the ring. His legs curled up. His arms wrapped around his legs as his knees are almost touching his chin. He held his head down in disgust and shame. The arena was dead. All the fans had left. The GZWA production crew, camera men, announcers, they all exited to the back. The ring crew waited patiently for Genesis to exit the ring so they could begin to tear the ring down and travel to the next city, but Genesis refused to leave.

Christy Hemme, along with the ReAction camera crew in toe, followed her to the ring. She entered the ring and had no idea how to approach this subject. Not knowing what type of mindset Genesis is in. What he will say? What he will do? 

Christy Hemme: G-Genesis... (Christy stutters), I don't know what to say or ask about what had happened out there tonight at Final Encounter. You've been sitting here in the ring since we went off the air and, look, I know this has got to be a terrible time for you. I just wanted to come out here and say if there is absolutely anything I can do or say to help, just...

*Genesis stands up, looks Christy in the eyes with a blank, lifeless expression*

Genesis: .......

Genesis walks away from her. Not a word was said. No emotion. No expression. Nothing. Genesis exited the ring and walked backstage. Leaving Christy Hemme and the ReAction camera dumbfounded. Genesis has always been a man of action, and a man that had to plenty to say regardless of the situation. For the first time in three years.... he was silent.... dead silent. 

ReAction Crew: What the hell was that about?

Christy Hemme: I don't know, but whatever it is it's not good. He looked so lifeless, and I've never seen Genesis act like that before. This is too creepy!

***BACKSTAGE***

*3 hours later*

The arena was now completely empty. All the wrestlers, GZWA staff, crews and so on had went home. All that was left was the lonely janitors to clean up the joint. In the male locker room, as one of the janitors was shown moping the floors, he noticed a mysterious letter left on one of the nearby lockers. The locker the note was left on belonged to Genesis. Intrigued and curious, he takes the letter and begins to read it over. The note consisted of two lines, handwritten carefully so it could clearly be read.

The End?

*After the footage is shown. The feed shuts off and the cameras cut back
over on Genesis, who is seen with a disgusted look on his face as
he watched the replay from "Final Encounter" all over again.*

Genesis: "That night... I watched my dream go up in smoke. And ya know what? I could care less and here's why."

 

*Genesis begins to unbutton his trench coat. After doing so, he reaches in and pulls out several sheets of paper*

 

Genesis: "See this?" *Holds the sheets of paper in the air with his left hand* "This is what you call a script. This is a script that every wrestler that has ever worked for this company read from to entertain all of you!"

 

*Genesis rips up the 'script' piece by piece, watching the paper fall into a small pile in front of him on the mat as the crowd briefly erupts.*

 

Genesis: "This is a live show, right? Guess that means I have a LIVE microphone and I'm certainly not afraid to use it!"

 

*Crowd pops*

 

Genesis: "This isn't a silly "Pipe bomb"for attention. This isn't even a *does a gun symbol with his left hand briefly*"Shoot". This.... this is the fucking TRUTH!"

 

*Crowd erupts once more for a brief moment as Genesis leans over the ropes, looks directly into the hard camera and says*

 

Genesis: "For nearly ten years, I've given my blood,my sweat and my tears to this mother. FUCKING. sport! Whether you guys loved or hated Genesis? I gave you everything I had each and every night for the last ten years and I am DAMN proud of it!"

 

*Crowd pops once again*

 

Genesis: "However, as it relates to GZWA Final Encounter back in June, I phoned it in and I didn't give a shit what went down that night. All I wanted to do was get through the night I'm not going to sugarcoat anything here at all. I let you guys down and I apologize for it sincerely. But, when you hear the reason behind it, you'll understand what I did what I needed to do that night."

 

*Genesis began to pace around the ring, as the camera zoomed out a bit, focusing on him, the ring and the titantron. On the tron, we see a picture flash up of...*

 

Kristine (Sapphire)

 

Genesis: "This is my wife.... well, now ex-wife,Kristine. You know her in the ring as "Sapphire". She and I spent nearly two years entertaining the fans with our dramatic relationship squabbles, which eventually evolved into a big love triangle between me,Sapphire and Trent Lewis. What you saw on TV was obviously all for entertainment and show. Behind the scenes, Kristine and I were very happy and in love with each other. Unlike her character in the ring, Kristine was the sweetest, loving, kind and considerate person you'll ever meet. She became a big part of my life and there's not a second that goes by that I don't regret a second of it, even to this very day. She... she meant everything to me;absolutely everything!"

 

*Genesis pauses and becomes emotional. He wiped a tear from his eye. Fans watching Genesis show something he rarely ever did -- raw,human emotion, they began to tear up as well listening to his story.*

 

Genesis: "Ironically, as Final Encounter was approaching. Kristine made the decision on her behalf to cut the cord and end our relationship. The reasons behind it... were justifiable, even if I didn't necessarily agree with them. When she left me in April, I didn't care for anything or anyone, especially myself. I felt like I failed. I failed the love of my life. I failed myself. I failed all of you, and I subsequently failed this company. Going into that event, I phoned that shit in and could have cared less what was going to transpire in this very ring. I knew I was walking into a lose-lose situation. I knew this was going to be the death of my character. Iknew that CM Punk, Kayda Erikson, AJ Styles and Hano Eiyu, the four people that"Genesis" put the screws to over the last three years respectively,was finally going to get their chance to pull the trigger and get the last laugh. Regardless of the end result, I should have come in to this match with much more enthusiasm and gave you guys a match to remember. Instead, I didn't do that. All I cared about was getting through the night, hoping on the plane and getting the hell outta here and back home."

 

*Genesis began to pace around the ring, as he looked out at the crowd with sincerity in his voice as he made a startling revelation*

 

Genesis: "You've heard stories of people hitting their rock bottom? Mine was when I got home, threw my bags on the ground,walked to the refrigerator of my lonely apartment, downing a bottle of Vodka and coming THIS CLOSE... too close, as I picked up a 9mm, loaded one bullet into the chamber and wanted to pull the god damn trigger so bad to end it all!!!"

 

*Genesis walked to the ropes nearby and briefly laid his head down across the top ropes and his arms simultaneously. A very eerie,intense hush filled the arena. Moments later, a tearful Genesis wiped the tears from his eyes and continued*

 

Genesis: "As I felt the gun brush up against the roof of my mouth, the only thing that saved my ass from pulling the trigger was the thought of the mortified fans learning of my untimely demise from some goddamn dirt sheet. I thought about the press release. How Xion was going to tell the world that one of their own was now dead. How you, the wrestling fans, were going to cope with my loss from a personal standpoint. All these things combined? Gave me that moment of epiphany that i needed to pull the gun out of my mouth and set the course of action that I needed to take to come back here tonight."

 

*Genesis turned and walked over to the center of the ring*

 

Genesis: "During my absence, a lot has changed around here hasn't it? This place... isn't what it used to be. When I think back to when I first started in this company, to this point time, I am disgusted at what all THIS has become! Now, the EASY TARGET would be for me and all of you to point the finger at the boss in charge, Xion Zeros. That's the easy way out, right? He is the boss in charge after all. He signs the paychecks. Makes the final calls on everything you see taking place inside this ring. However, I don't blame Xion for any of this -- I truly don't. So, if I don't blame Xion for the state this company is in, who do I blame? Do I blame the GZWA Nation?"

 

*Crowd begins to boo*

 

Genesis: "Fact is, you guys are not at fault either.The fault in all this lies in the hands of each and every wrestler in the backsitting on their ass, playing video games, messing around on Twitter and Facebook, the guys that cheat on their girlfriends and their wives and the select few who wouldn't know the difference between a wrist lock and a wristwatch. THAT is the state of this company! A bunch of useless and lazy talent roster that would rather “phone it in" and call it a day just to earn a paycheck. The kind of talent that bitches, whines and complains when something doesn't go their way, or they got their feelings hurt over a silly fucking "Twitter War". You want an example of that, ladies & gentlemen?"

 

*Genesis points to the titantron*

 

 

Genesis: "Say hello to the two GZWA Divas who decided to take their role as a "Diva" to their heads, pack their"toys “and go the hell home for good! I personally never crossed paths with either Paige or AJ, and now they're gone and their demise has since been well publicized? I'm glad I didn't! Last time I checked, we had wrestlers here,which meant we had talented, gifted and PROFESSIONAL performers. Little did we know that we had two kids that got offended by the typical Twitter drama that all the Divas are known for? So, what did Paige and AJ decide to do? They pissed their pants, cried, threw a tantrum and went home.... thus walking out and quitting on all of you! I would normally say best of luck in your future endeavors, but in the case of Paige & AJ Lee, good luck if you land any jobs elsewhere, especially with the United Farm Workers of America."

 

*Crowd starts to “Ohhhhh!” in shock*

 

Genesis: "Better yet, maybe the big, bad corporation to the north may hire you back? I can see it now. AJ Lee and Paige fighting over a Divas title in a lesbian storyline within’ a “PG” promotion. Who knows?Maybe instead of making out with each other in the ring, they'll make out with a title and proceed to molest it on an episode of Monday Night RAW? Sounds hot,right? I guess so if you enjoy watching little kids touch each other inappropriately for all the pedophiles around the world. Speaking of which..."

 

*Genesis looks straight into the camera, smiles and waves*

 

Genesis: "How ya doin', Punk?"

*winks*

 

Genesis: "Enough about them, because as I said earlier I blame the talent for this companies downfall and I'll be damned if I see this place go down like the Titanic. ZXWWF anyone? Not happenin' on my watch! While I can stand here all night and verbally destroy each and every wrestler in that locker room, I'm going to pick out a select handful of individuals that deserve it more than anybody else. Starting with...."

 

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles

 

Genesis: "Remember this guy? You should, he's the"Phenomenal" AJ Styles!" Or, I should say nowadays, the not-so"Phenomenal" AJ Styles. You see, he and I had one of the greatest rivalries in this company’s history. We both set the bar and raised it for everyone here to follow on nearly three years ago. Our careers were parallel.AJ went on to do things that frankly pissed me off and made me envious because he was able to achieve the things that I wanted to for so long and so bad over the last three years that it made me fucking sick to my stomach to watch! AJ Styles became a World Champion, Television Champion, Superstar of the Year,Most Popular Wrestler and so on and so on. You could say that he did nearly everything in this company, right? Question is, what has he done lately? I'll answer that rhetorical question for you --- not a god damn thing! You may as well say that he vanished without a trace after Final Encounter and hasn't been heard from since, unless you want to count his phoned in performances as of late in the ring which is FAR from the” Phenomenal” tagline. Nevertheless,let's move on shall we?"

 

Kayda Erikson (Gen's "Sister")

Genesis: "Remember this crazy bitch? Yeah, she was my"sister", but only in the kayfabe sense. Oops, I'm destroying the 4thwall here am I? Quick! Sound the Internet Wrestling Community alarm so they can come out and bitch about Genesis killing the business, as if those trolls on the internet haven’t done enough damage as it is, but I digress ladies & gentlemen.

 

I spent the better part of the past year putting Kayda over and making her a star for this company out of the goodness of my heart.Why? Because I saw potential in her, and I figured we could have had a similar rivalry to the feud between me and AJ Styles. To many that watched us over the year, you could say that we did that. She was super obsessed with Subway to Sally, which by the way is the most GOD AWFUL music you'll ever hear in your entire life. Hell, she became so obsessed with the group that she wanted to bang all the members of the group and become Eric's bitch! But whatever, right?Is what it is. Bottom line, she, along with the others put the screws to me and bailed shortly thereafter. Never to be seen or heard from. What a waste of talent!"

 

 

Genesis: "Speaking of waste of talent, here's Mike Bradley!"

 

*Gen sarcastically claps for Bradley as the crowd chuckles at his previous remark*

 

Genesis: "Here's a guy that is STILL rubbing in the fact that he beat me for the GZWA Television Championship. Congratulations,Mike Bradley, you earned your fifteen minutes of fame off of MY name! Do you think anyone would care about you, or anybody else you've defeated if you didn't beat me for a title that I had held for over a year?"

 

 

Genesis: "I'm not going to stand here and bury your ass, Mike. Why? Because you do that for yourself each and every time you open your mouth and speak! Your claim to fame is Twitter. Without that, no one would know who the hell you are, because you sure as hell can't "cut the mustard" in the ring. Your promos are bland (at best). Your nickname"Meta" is by far the STUPIDEST shit I have ever heard.  "The Deepest Bag of Tricks" ? Sure if you like pulling random bullshit out of your ass for attention. Why not! "The Next Level" ? Yep! You've taken "suck" to a WHOLE new level, bro. Do us all a favor and get a sex change already. Your sister, Danielle has a bigger set of BALLS than you do! Hell, I wouldn't even call you a man, especially where it counts from all the gossip in the Divas locker room Hey, don’t get mad at me over that one, ask the Divas. ;) I say cut those boys off and hand em' over to your sister. Then, change your name to Michelle Bradley and get your ass whipped in the Divas Division by the likes of Morgan Davis, Mei Long, Rae and a name that will ring a bell because she rang yours to capture the Television Title, AMANDA CORTEZ!"

 

*Crowd pops*

 

Genesis: "Amanda and I may have not seen eye to eye at times, but she's the toughest bitch on the planet AND has a bigger clit than that little "thing" you call a penis between your legs. Don't be lying either, everyone in the locker room clowns you about it all the time.You're a lost cause, my "little” friend." #NeedleDickBradley. Let's get that shit trending worldwide!"

 

*Fans start to break out in chants of "Needle Dick" in unison*

 

Genesis: "See? I didn't bury his ass. All I did was piss on his grave. However, there is one more piece of business that I got left here tonight... and that's with me."

 

*Gen walks over to the side of the ring where he began this long, but impressive "promo" (if you want to call it that) and faced the hard camera*

 

Genesis: "Ten years ago, I came into this business under the given name of "Genesis". I carried that name and its lineage with me from federation to federation. With that name, I captured title after title, accolade after accolade. I pissed more people off than made friends. I was fired and banned by multiple federations and I lived to tell about it. Point is, thanks to the douche bags at "Final Encounter",they did something that no one has ever done. They killed the"Genesis" character. Hell, my actions on "ReAction" when Christy Hemme approached me for my comments said it all. I had nothing left tosay and I knew then the nail had been driven into my coffin. Genesis was DEAD! R.I.P. I knew there was no coming back from that. They came in, gutted and raped me of my pride, integrity and my character. So with that being said, I come to each and every fan out here in the quote unquote "GZWA Nation" speaking from the heart and delivering what I always knew I could do best --- and that's speaking from the heart and telling it like it is without a fucking script or bullet points. What you see here today is the man behind the moniker of Genesis. What you see is the "Evolution" of what I once was. Much like how a caterpillar evolves into a sweet little butterfly, only in my case, I'm not a "sweet little butterfly", I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet and not a person in the back can touch me on the microphone, in the ring or anywhere else when I'm on my "A"game. What you're looking at is a man that will continue to evolve and thus redefine himself AND this company. What you see is the result of what months of anger, rage, bitterness, hurt, betrayal and above all else, PAIN, can take you!

 

I am no longer "Genesis". I'm not a character.I'm not a gimmick. I am me, and this is who I am. I am Brandon Payne! FYI, for all you social media junkies out there? I am @payneredefined”.

 

*Huge pop from the crowd*

 

Brandon Payne: "Forget about your World Champion,Hano Eiyu. He's the "People's Champion" by a damn script. I will lead YOU into battle!"

 

*Payne points to the entire GZWA Nation*

 

Brandon Payne: "As far as I am concerned? My allegiance and loyalty is NOT to the GZWA. My loyalty and allegiance is with you -- the WRESTLING FAN! The TRUE fans that want to see blood, sweat and tears! The fans that pay good money to watch WRESTLERS, not SPORTS ENTERTAINERS or REALITY TV STARS wrestle in this ring and give them a show to talk about the next morning at the water cooler at work. When it comes to the so called “wrestlers” in the back, if they can’t get it right, then I vow to each and every one of you that I will deliver it to you myself each week. You can place me anywhere on the card and no matter where I'm at, I'm going to give you what you need and deserve. Let the phonies in the back half-ass and phone it in between the microphone and the squared circle. From this point forward I'm leading the charge and I'm going to be the measuring stick of this company AND of the business in its entirety!"

 

*Payne walks over to the side of the ring towards the rampway and looks toward the stage area*

 

Brandon Payne: "Xion, I ACCEPT your invitation for the Elimination Chamber match!"

 

*Big crowd pop*

 

Brandon Payne: "Only on ONE condition..."

 

*Payne walks over to the center of the ring and looks up to the Heavens above for a brief second*

 

Brandon Payne: "The condition is this. When I see this steel of massive destruction being lowered down to this very ring? I don't want to be locked inside a damn pod. Oh no! I want to be the FIRST entry in this match. This way I'm guaranteed to get a shot at everybody that steps through these ropes and tries to take THIS away from me!"

 

*The crowd erupts yet again, as Payne senses that it's time to wrap things up*

 

Brandon Payne: "I was screwed over in more ways than one out of my last opportunity at becoming the next GZWA World Heavyweight Champion and I'll be damned if I'm going to let it happen again! Hano Eiyu took away my golden opportunity to take the championship away from AJ Styles and put that overrated piece of shit out of his misery! Therefore, I'm going to settle with you instead. The clock is going to strike midnight for our Cinderella paper champion.Jimmy Jacobs, take your emo loving ass back to Hot Topic and cry me a fuckin' river! You sucked five years ago and guess what? You still do today!"

Brandon Payne: "Rocky Romero? Who the fuck is that!? Better yet, does anyone reallycare? Oh, wait a second… isn’t he the guy who begged me to be his tag team partner at one time? Rocky, you’re going to find out why I said ‘no’ back then, because you are not even in the same league as me. You're a shit stain on the underwear of life that needs to be wiped clean from this world. Just like the "Rocky" films, I'm gonna be your Clubber Lang, your Apollo Creed, and yes, even "Thunderlips" himself because Brandon Payne is gonna knock your ass out!"

 

Brandon Payne: "The Hardcore Monster" Carnage? Pfft! The only "monster" anyone needs to worry about is the one-eyed monster between my legs. I'm not scared of this guy. Hell, if Amanda Cortez could take him, Brandon Payne sure as hell can. The only thing scary about you is your gimmick. Enjoy your fifteen minutes of face in the Elimination Chamber, Carnage. I’m going to put you back to jobber city with all the other clowns Don't write a check that your mouth, nor your wrestling abilities can never be able cash, son. You lost your "Hardcore" status the night you lost to a chick in a Japanese Death match a couple years back. Now, you're just "Carnage". Normally that would stand for destruction, but in your case? This will be your SELF destruction!"

 

Brandon Payne: "And last but not least, we have CM Punk (laughs hysterically). I've got something special just for you, old friend."

 

*Brandon Payne reaches into his trench coat and pulls out a barbed wire baseball bat! Payne has been promising that he wasn’t coming alone and he was telling the truth.*

 

Brandon Payne: "Say hello to "Barbie" for me. Unlike Abyss, this isn't my girlfriend or my old lady, but she knows how to get the job done in the ring when needed. Something you couldn’t do at Slammiversary, and according to AJ Lee, not in the bedroom either. Better tighten up the grip on your “Anaconda Vise” there, buddy. ;)

 

 I can't wait to properly introduce you two in the Elimination Chamber. Months ago, Punk, you helped destroy everything that ever made me who I once was to this business. Now? I'm going to destroy you and everything you ever were to become! If you don't like it, then oh well, I guess you could always join your preteen wife and her British emo pal and take a hike. Matter of fact, after the hell I've been through... you may REALLY want to consider taking the latter. In my eyes,‘Phil’.*chuckles as he glances down at his bat* you’re a dead man!"

 

*Brandon Payne drops the microphone and points up at the titantron with his bat as the cameras zoom in and focus on the quote that is being displayed for the world to see*

 

"Nevermore to be held down by the weight beneath me. Nevermore to be cast aside. This day is mine!"

 

[FIN]
