The hours. The minutes. The seconds were ticking by at a rapid pace. Tonight was the BIGGEST night of the year for all of GZWA. Tonight is Slammiversary! The one event that every GZWA Superstar and Diva fight, scratch and claw just to be a part of. Whether you're the other opening act or the main event, being apart of the show is an honor in it of itself. For Genesis, this is a homecoming.
Genesis: "A little over two years ago, I made my debut for GZWA here at this very event."
****FLASHBACK***
(Genesis' first promo for the GZWA)
Backstage. Only mere hours before Slammiversary comes on the air. Genesis shows up to the arena. Last time he was seen was the week after his impressive performance at Riot Control. Where he was jumped from behind by April Hunter. Since that time. Rumors ran rapid about his whereabouts. Did April injure him? Did he quit GZWA? Did things not work out between he and the Powers-That-Be??
To be blunt. None of those accusations were true. But, Genesis was in fact injured. During his training with several young, and rather ‘green’ rookies he was assisting at a local Indy show over in California. Genesis suffered a ‘stinger’, a common injury to the neck. While thought to be serious. Turns out, to be something that only a months rest and minor rehabilitation could take care of the issue.
Once he was cleared by doctor’s, and given the okay to compete. He was thrust back into a Pay-Per-View. At Slammiversary. This was the night Genesis was to arrive and set the record straight. In his mind. Once the ball got rollin’. There was no stopping him.
Wrestling journalists and other reporters were on the scene for the big event. Interviewing literally anybody they could get there hands on. It was then. A representative from PWI Torch approached him.
PWI-Torch: Excuse me, sir. But I don’t believe I recognize you. Do you work here?
Gen. looked at the guy. Thinking “What the hell is this guy thinking?” But, in truth. This dude had a reason to ask the question. While Genesis was a well known figure in other organizations. To GZWA. He was a virtual unknown to the majority of the masses.
Genesis - “My name is Genesis. Remember the name. Remember it well. Just like the meaning of the word. I’m ‘the beginning of’ what every man, woman and child aspire to be in this business. You’ve seen the best come and go. We all know that ‘Legends never die’. But there can only be one Genesis. And it is I.”
PWI-Torch: Hmm… Genesis.
*Makes a note of what Gen. said. He didn’t know why. But this journalist had this gut feeling that the man standing before him was going to be a huge star for this company some day*
PWI-Torch: Well sir. If I must ask. What brings you to GZWA?
Genesis - “You’d like for me to say. I came for the Money. The Power. The Glory. The Control. If you, or anyone else would ever accuse me of such. I’d have to say that you’re correct. I realize. Breaking into a new federation. Especially one, where many of the names are unfamiliar with you. Is a tough pill to swallow. I’ve been there, and done that. I’m cool with working as the bottom feeder. Knowing that in due time. I’m going to be on top of the food chain. Looking down at the so called ‘competition’ that would do anything to knock me off my pedestal. Wrestling is a business after-all. A business of fortune and glory. Over the years. I’ve attained a lot of glory. Many championships. Many accolades. Friendships formed and broken. I even found love. But most of all? My ‘love’ for this business never changed. From day one. I was destined for great things. This destiny, has brought me here.”
PWI-Torch: I see… Well, you seem to be very sure of yourself. Confidence is always a nice thing to have.
Genesis - “Trust me. ‘Confidence’ has nothing to do with it. Its all about skills. I have plenty of it. The others lack it. Next question, stooge.”
PWI-Torch: Well, it says here on the card. You’re booked for a big 6-Person Tag Match. Teaming with The Big Show and Brad Kane. To face Brock Lesnar, April Hunter and Jeff Hardy in the opening act. Thoughts on the match, sir?
Genesis - “Well… I can say this much. I could care less who teams with Genesis. As long as they stay out of my way, and do there thing. Whilst allowing me to steal the show as I always do. Then everything will work out just fine. As for my opponents. Brock Lesnar and Jeff Hardy. Are just two guys who are past there prime. When compared to me. They’re out of my league. Brock Lesnar is nothing more then the ‘Next Big F*** Up’. Seriously, how does he go from being the true ‘Next Big Thing’ to ‘The Opening Act’? See… right there. Shows you how far gone this man is. True enough. You can call me a hypocrite. But lets face facts here. How does Lesnar go from being on top of the world in one promotion. To being at the bottom of the barrel in another? I’ll tell you why. He’s all hype, and no substance. Just another big, angry roid-rage gorilla. Nothing more, nothing less. Somewhat of an amateur background. But I must digress. He’s nothing to me. Just another mouth to feed around here…Jeff Hardy? This generation’s Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts. The biggest disappointment in the history of our industry. So much potential. All but wasted on one pharmaceutical drug after another. How do guys like this continue to live? Why are they given one countless chance after another. While the good aren’t given that luxury? Instead of the world being filled with caring, passionate people. Who give a damn about life. We’re stuck with the idiots who could care less about society. But care even less about there own well being. Good people die from tragedies. Cancer. Murders. Accidents. Suicide. Never to be given a 2nd chance at life. Yet… people like Jeff Hardy. Who continues to not value his life. Nor, the lives of those around him. Continues to breathe the same air that I breathe. It makes me absolutely sick! I even question the value of living. Religions speak of higher powers at work. So why do these gods and goddess’ continue to let these cowards roam the Earth?
Then, we have April Hunter…
PWI-Torch: “April Hunter?”
Genesis - “Yes…”
PWI-Torch: What can you tell me about her?
Genesis - “Heh… what do you want to know?”
PWI-Torch - Well *gulps*. Anything that comes to mind? I guess…
Genesis - “Lets just say… her and I go way back. When she laid her hands on me.
I made sure. When I was well enough. It would be the last thing she ever done in her pathetic, and miserable career. She fancies herself as “The Prize”. Funny thing is.. I have to say, she’s right.
PWI-Torch - Um, I don’t follow Genesis?
Genesis - “In any profession we’re given. We all have a goal to reach. A ‘prize’ if you will, for our efforts and hard work. For Genesis. As I officially make my first stand in this organization. April Hunter is my first ‘Prize’. She made the mistake of using me as a stepping stone. I can tell you this. She stepped on the wrong damn stone.
When I was laid up with my neck injury. All I could think about was that cold-hearted bitch.
How she had the gaul to entertain the thought of laying her hands on me. To me, April is nothing more then your standard, everyday attention whore. Its no surprise. That she needed Genesis more then I needed April. To get the rub off the brightest, shining star. So her wish of becoming noticed would come true. ‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’. As they say… but for me. I’m not flattered one bit. I’d say pissed off is putting it lightly. But even in my angered state of mind. I have the ability to remain calm. So that when the time comes. I can focus my energies on the task at hand. Instead of blowing my top like a roid-rage freak. Guys like Lesnar should know all about that. ;)”
PWI-Torch: Well Mr. Genesis. I hate to cut this short. But I have other wrestlers to interview. Any final thoughts?
Genesis - “Yes, a few. Call me ‘Mr. Genesis’ again, and I’ll make sure it’s the last thing you ever do. Understand?
PWI-Torch *Nods his head in approval. He wasn’t about to piss this guy off even further. It was amazing at how this man’s demeanor never really changed. When most are
angry, sad, or happy. The standard emotions are sure to follow. But with Genesis. He had none of those qualities. They were either deeply suppressed… or, he was numb to them completely*
Genesis - “Secondly. I vow to make this world my stage. To be the whole show from beginning to end. The first thing people think about the next morning. The last person you think about at night. I am Genesis. While others aspire to do great things for there careers. My goal, is to be more then the competition ever will be.
It all starts tonight, my friend. Watch. Listen. Observe. Most of all…
Learn to live with it.
Learn to LOVE it!”
With that. Genesis casually walks away from this reporter. WOW… just wow. While officially, the last Pay-Per-View event ‘Riot Control’ may have been the first glimpse GZWA got to see of Genesis. Slammiversary will forever be the night that we got to see how deep this guy can be.
He held nothing back. His emotions (or lack there of), became his guide. His skills, when given a microphone. Were seemingly one of a kind. Whether you considered him the best. The worst, or anywhere in between? Meant nothing to him. He was going to do what he wants. Not what the public wants to see. As he learned early on in his profession. If one is to succeed.
He must do whatever it takes. But to hold no personal, or emotional attachment to others. To take things as simply business… and nothing personal.
Tonight? As you can plainly see. Genesis was all business.
****PRESENT DAY****
Genesis: "That was the beginning of my journey. What a glorious two years it has been ladies and germs. Everyone that stepped in front of me? They got dealt with. From the likes of Brock Lesnar to AJ Styles to MiMi to Trent Lewis and yes, even you... CM Punk! They all got dealt with. I hurt and humiliated them all. Before we go any further, let's go back to one year ago, Punk. This is what started it all between you and I. Roll the footage!"
***FLASHBACK***
GZWA Television Championship - King of the Mountain Match - “King of Controversy” Genesis (champion) vs. “Dashing” Cody Rhodes (w/ April Lee) vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. "Hot Rod" Rodney Brooks (w/ Calamity Brooks) vs. "The Parental Warning" Dean Maddoxxx (w/ CM Punk)
Prof. X: What was that about? I think Mr. Zeros was talking about that strange individual when he didn't trust anyone around here.
Francine: The inmates are always loose in this asylum. Hell, Cox, we're working with ring leader now.
The Carter: Flattery will get you nowhere, Franny.
Prof. X: Up next we have the King of the Mountain match for the TV title. Genesis will be defending his title in this very same match that we saw Beth Phoenix lose the Women's Championship in a few minutes prior.
Francine: I hope Genesis said his prayers before this one. I wouldn't worry about the competition here, but more about what's Mariah going to do after she finds out that he kissed Maryse tonight.
The Carter: Don't be hatin' Franny. Pimpin' ain't easy.
Francine: Like you would know...
Prof. X: In a bizarre turn of events, I'm told part of CM Punk's contract allows him to come out here with a live microphone and 'coach' Maddoxxx in his matches.
Francine: That should be a treat.
As soon as the King of the Mountain Match begins, CM Punk climbs up to the apron, waving to Maddoxxx, he moves to the end of the ring and leans over the ropes, listening to CM Punk. Hesitant to do anything, Brooks just leans back in his corner, full of himself, he completely ignores everything.
CM Punk: Look at your competition here, or rather the lack of. This is going to be cakewalk, you got this in the bag. The sooner you get done here, the sooner we can leave here and pre-order that shiny new copy of WWE '13 with my pretty face on it. Yeah, Z doesn't want me to mention that other company, but a bit of advertising helps pays the bills around here.
The fighting champion that Genesis is, isn't having any of it, he rushes over towards Dean and Punk, grabbing Dean's hair, tugging him away from Punk. Before he can get too far away, Punk begins talking trash to Genesis, who, unable to ignore it, releases Dean and charges towards Punk, who hops off the apron before Genesis can get to him.
CM Punk: Yeah, Genesis, come at me for that instant gratification that you won't be getting from Maryse nor MiMi tonight after you lose that belt. We both know those girls wouldn't even be talking to you if you weren't champion.
Quick to react, Maddoxxx rushes back towards Genesis, and rolls him over, pulling on his tight, as well as putting his feet on the middle rope. The ref instantly drops to his knees and begins counting, for the 3 right off the bat, and Genesis is forced to enter the Penalty Box for 3 minutes.
CM Punk: What did I tell you folks? I'm the best damn thing to happen to wrestling period, Deaner's the best in training, and everyone else? They are just a slight mark above that title of Worst In The World that Mr. Genesis is wearing the patriotic colors of tonight.
A LOUD smug, CM Punk, smacks the apron and taunts Genesis, tapping his temple as if he out smarted Genesis. With the rest of the superstars watching on, all grin confidently knowing the champion is in the box for 3 minutes. Genesis, willingly slides off the ring, walks past Punk with a devious grin of his own, he enters the Penalty Box, and now the real action begins.
Not a moment too soon, Daniels moves cautiously to Cody's corner, holding his hands up in peace, he attempts to form a temporary alliance. Cody nods in agreement right away, as they point to Maddoxxx and Rodney Brookes. Zero hesitation from Maddoxxx, he throws his hands in the air, and steps out of the ring, pointing to Brookes and just nodding with confidence.
Both Daniels and Cody shrug and stare at Rodney, who's seemingly ready. On the outside of the ring, Maddoxxx and Punk walk around the ring, towards the penalty box, and they start to taunt Genesis, staring up at the stopclock, getting more and more obnoxious as the clock begins to tick more and more.
CM Punk: What's an average date with Mariah like for you? You do her laundry and iron her clothes while she thinks about touching you? Then she remembers that you're in a committed relationship with Double S and let's you two just stay being just friends.
It has to be hard to let Maryse go... only to watch her walk into the arms of that bozo from MTV's Real World. Or wasn't it John Morrison? No that can't be right... I'm pretty sure everyone had a turn at that door knob of a airhead.
Sure, I like crazy chicks -- but even I won't date a dumb fuck.
While the action in the ring as took a turn, the alliance between Cody and Daniels broke into a three way fight, with Cody gaining the upper hand on Daniels, even hitting him with a Beautiful Disaster. With Daniels out of it, Rodney looks around the ring, and spots Maddoxx and Punk trashing Genesis, he grabs Cody and whips him out of the ring, falling over Daniels.
Maddoxxx's attention shifts to the tron, seeing Cody out of the ring, and Brooks going for a pin, Punk just nods to Dean, as he quickly slides a ladder into the ring, setting it up in the middle of the ring, and climbing it.
Right as the refs hand hits three on Daniels, Punk tosses the TV title to Dean, and he attemps to hang the belt, but the newly eligible Rodney Brooks, jumps up and grabs his leg, tugging him down to the ring mat.
The second Daniels makes his way into the Penalty Box, Genesis' time is up and he comes flying out, into the ring, straight for Maddoxxx, throwing a rough right, even making a temporary alliance with Brooks, who both begins trading rights.
With Maddoxxx dazed, Genesis steps back and allows Brooks to rush into the ropes, bounce off and nail Maddoxxx with Ground Zero, and without wasting a second of time, Genesis picks up Brooks, kicks him in the gut, and instantly locks his head between his legs, jumping up and landing with the Game Over!, Genesis rolls Brooks over and pins him for the three, with Daniels time still ticking, Brooks has to go in with him.
With just Cody, Maddoxxx and Genesis outside the Penalty Box, and Cody still reeling from his crash to the outside, as well as Maddoxxx in pain from the Ground Zero, Genesis, grabs his belt and begins climbing up the ladder. He ALMOST has the belt hung, but once again, his temper costs him, with Punk back on the apron, yelling out taunts and anything he can think of to distract Genesis.
CM Punk: Go ahead, hang up the title, Brandon. Go ahead, give Syren another reason to take more of your salary in child support. Instead, hang up the boots, and get a real job. Your drug-addicted kids are sick of eating ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner.
Why so serious? It's not my fault you have no talent as a wrestler, can't be considered a boyfriend nor a husband, and not to mention definitely not father of the year material...
Set on shutting Punk up, Genesis hops down, and rushes towards Punk, sliding out the ring, he begins chasing Punk around the ring. Punk is mocking April Lee, skipping around the ring like her, "That's right, follow me just like Syren followed me into my hotel room last night..."
Punk slides into the ring, and back out, and as Genesis attemps to do the same, he's taken by surprise by Maddoxxx's Red Tape.
With full momentum, it looks as if Maddoxxx has knocked out Genesis. At that moment, Daniel's time to come out is up, he rushes into the ring, grab Dean by his hair and pushes Dean away, with Daniels jumping for the cover, getting the emphatic three count, and Genesis has to enter the Penalty Box once again.
Punk beside himself with joy, he shrugs off the fact Daniels pinned him. Cody, back to his feet, slides into the ring to stop Daniels, who had just started climbing the ladder. While that's going on, with Genesis still "knocked out," Maddoxxx gets into the ring and grabs Genesis by his hands and starts to drag him out of the ring. The Ref helps as well, with Genesis hunched over the ref, he begins to show a bit more of life, his hands noticeably moving, Maddoxx pushes Genesis into the box, with Brooks on his way out. Genesis falls to his butt, while the ref shuts the box.
Maddoxxx in all his glory, taunts Genesis even more, but Genesis smugly sits up straight, and stares back at Maddoxxx, even forming a smile and tapping his head. Thinking nothing of it, Maddox gets back into the ring, where Cody had stopped Daniels from winning before, with Cody, Daniels, Brookes and Maddoxxx in the ring, a massive trade off brawl ensues, with the ladder still standing tall in the center of the ring. The trade off breaks into two, Maddoxxx trading shots with Daniels, and Cody with Brooks.
On the Daniels side, Maddoxxx gets the upper hand, enough to daze Daniels into vertigo. Realizing this Maddoxxx, grabs Daniels by the ears and begins to shove him INTO the ladder steps. Rendering Daniels useless.
With Genesis' time in the Box rendering down, he makes it to his feet with a wide grin on his face, this time, he begins trashing Punk from inside the box. Pumping himself up. The very second the clock counts down, the Ref doesn't open the box, Genesis kicks it open, and rushes into the ring, where only Maddoxxx is standing, after both Cody and Brooks knocked eachother out.
Genesis climbs the ladder chasing after Dean who's nearly got the belt hung, he pokes Maddoxxx in the eye, and pushes him off the ladder. Instead of hanging the belt, he hops off the ladder as well, and grabs Maddoxxx's hair, dragging him out of the ring. Genesis rolls under the ropes and opens the Penalty Box, pushing him inside it.
Genesis pushes the door shut, and Punk starts to shout out angrier and louder. Genesis reaches into his trunks and pulls out the Key to the box. Dean's eyes widen and he starts to tackles the door as hard as he can, but Genesis is much too strong. Genesis proceeds to lock the penalty box, and not to risk anything, he just tosses the key into the crowd.
A very wide, smug grin creeps across his face, he looks around the arena, seeing Daniels locked inside the ladder, Cody and Brooks knocked out, and Maddoxxx locked inside the ring, as well as knocking Punk can't do anything, he decides to take his sweet time, rubbing it in, specifically in Maddoxx's face, he climbs the ladder and hangs his belt, tapping his head and nodding, as he retains his belt.
WINNER: "King of Controversy" Genesis (retains).
***PRESENT DAY***
Genesis: "Don't you see now, Punk? This all began over a year ago. I was in the midst of one of my greatest title reigns of all time. A two time Television Champion! A reign that set the standard for what a champion is supposed to be like in the GZWA. You tried to screw me over that night, Punk. You did whatever you could to try and humiliate me. On that night, you FAILED! A year ago, I became the "King of the Mountain". Tonight? I become what you once were. I become "The Best in the World!" As far as I am concerned? The time for talking is over. Tonight, we will see who the man really is. How ironic too. A year ago you tried to put the screws to Genesis. By the end of the tonight? Once the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled in, you will be looking up at the bright lights at the FUTURE of the GZWA! You will be looking up into the eyes of the true "Best in the World!" Tonight I became everything you once were. And let's just say... karma can be a bitch. Get it? If not, you'll find out soon enough.
See you real soon, Punk!"
*Cameras Fade*
See you real soon, Punk!"
