Are You Scared...I Think So.(o2a)

[Jason Cross]

As his music starts to play Jason cross makes his way out to the ring mic already in hand. He takes a moment to look over the crowd before raising the mic to speak.

Well here we go again another show coming up and me finding myself still in need of an opponent because no one still has had the guts to come looking for me. Now this is going to be simply really all I need is for one of the so called tough guys in the back who keeps saying they are not afraid of me, when we all know for a fact that you are, to grow themselves a pair of balls and come down here and accept the challenge to face me one on one. I mean hell you would think that someone would be itching to try and beat me one on one instead of with three or four other people in the match, after all if you can beat me one on one your good , but if you do it with so many others in the match then you just got lucky, and thats all there is to it.

Jason starts to pace about the ring as he continues to speak.

Oh and if you boys need a little more incentive to try and stop me then here is something that should help speed you up. I know the title shot for this month is going to take place between Vegas and Blaze if the rumor mill is to be believed, well I don't care which of those two wins that belt I plan on taking it from them in April. Now I know what your thinking, your saying to yourselves but Jason you never ask for title shots, while your right I'm not asking for the shot I'm telling you right her and now that it is mine! So come on down boys and try and stop me while you still can because if I don't get an opponent then the Angel sisters may as well hand that belt over because it will just prove that not one of the so called wrestlers in the back has the guts to face me one on one in this ring, and if they won't face me then nothing can stop me from taking what is mine!

Jason still pacing in the ring starts to watch the ramp for any signs of life in the back. Will someone have the guts to answer his challenge or will he be proved right when he says that they are all afraid of him.

Jason, Jason, Jason. What a web we weave...

Bryan Jasta emerges from backstage.

I guess it's true what they say. Bigger doesn't always mean better. Just look at you. You're pathetic. I mean, really. It makes me sick just looking at you. You're one of the biggest, strongest, most imposing men in our sport, yet you whine and bitch and moan. You wear you're heart on your sleave. You act like a little puppy dog in the pressence of your "beloved" wife. What a JOKE. A man like you should rule that ring with an iron fist. But lets face it, cross. No one fears you, because there's nothing to fear. The OTHER big men in this company, Nedermeyer, The Xaviers, Kasino...they're feared. because they don't hold back. They don't let there emotions hinder them. YOU do. And for that you'll spend your entire career in the shadow of you "Big" brother.

The crowd boos Jasta adimately, but he remains unphased.

I'm booked to face that kid Havik at the next Full Throttle in our little best of 7, where I intend to go up a COMMANDING 2-0, but I think I can put myself up for a little "tune up" match versus a second class superstar such as you. So if you're looking for an opponent, look no further "little man". I'll gladly bring you down to size.

The crowds bood resinate through the arena like an earthquake. Jasta simply stands awaiting Jason's response.

[Jason Cross]

Jason motions for the crowd to calm quiet down before speaking once more.

Well well well ladies and gentlemen it seems that I have my own personnel stalker here. I'm not going to ask how you know about the things you mentioned that happened OFF CAMERA or before you even arrived here Jasta but I will say this, you and your big mouth just bought yourself the worst beating of your life time. It will be safe to say that you will have your last match at Clash of the Titans because I won't be giving you the option of walking out of the building in one piece, because Jasta I have yet to be beaten one on one and there is no way in hell you will be the first!

Jason glares at Jasts from the ring, waiting to here what he will have to say.

[jasta]

Jasta laughs before responding.

How do I know so much? I'm in the BUSINESS of knowing. And since you've been here in APW, you pathetic personal life has been common knowlege. When I study an opponent, I study them from the inside out. I know how you think, Cross. I know your weaknesses AND your strengths. I've disected your entire career from just the few tapes i've seen, and from seeing you make a fool of yourself from your poor attempts at "promos". No, Jason. I don't fear you. I PITTY you. Such physical potential wasted on such a feeble mind. But don't worry. I'll give you the chance to step in the ring with REAL talent at CotT.

Lowering his mic, Jasta awaits Jason's next reply.

[Jason Cross]

Jason just shakes his head at Jasta's comments.

Actually my personal life has not been made common knowledge, so like I said I've got my own personal stalker. As for stepping in the ring at Clash of the Titans with a REAL talent thats fine, but could you have them make their way out here then because I think I've waisted enough time on you already then.

[jasta]

Jasta shakes his head.

It's ironic you speak of wasting anything, because you're clear a waste of DNA. I'm going to enjoy picking you apart, and leaving you, and your career for dead. I've heard about enough of your stupidity. Just be sure to show up, And try to remember how to get to the ring. It's the big elevated sqaure with the ropes around it. Might be to much for a man with a chick pea for a brain to comprehend. Hmmmph, This is going to be one easy win indeed.

Jasta simply drops his mic and stares at Cross. He shakes his head with a disgusted look on his face, returning backstage.
