Losing sleep (o2a)

[viper]

Vipers theme plays over the PA system, and the wounded warrior walks onto the stage. As soon as his appearance occurs the fans begin the "you suck!" chants. Viper didn't seem to get a good reception anywhere now, two weeks in a row he had been out talked and out performed in matches. Viper felt that he didn't live up to that name anymore, it was undeserving of someone so poor. Vain owned him on the microphone, Dante didn't answer him other than to insult Corona. Viper's walk to the ring was more like a walk of shame, slow and embarrassing, he didn't really want to be out there at this time. He rolled into the ring and took a microphone. The fans started to chant "boring" over and over as they knew what his speeches were like

"Hold up, before you start all of that just hear me out for a sec will ya? I know that I haven't been the best here so far, and I have been boring. It's been bothering me so bad, I never thought I would say this but I do care what you guys think of me and I have been losing sleep over this. Last night I couldn't sleep a wink, I guess I just wanted people to like me for me"

Viper stops for a moment wiping his eye, wasn't a tear just something stuck

"But I guess that you guys don't like me, maybe I am too boring or something. So I don't know what I should do? I was born Jason Michaels, I got the nickname Viper after a school yard fight. I am originally from Newcastle but I moved to London whilst I was very young, hence the cockney accent. During my teen years I lost count of how many times I ran away from home, I've been a fighter most of my life just seems that here with the professionals I just can't cut the mustard!"

Then...

[Synn]

The flames flare up across the stage and Hell is Home by Judas Priest begins to play. He makes his way down the ramp to the ring where he finds a mic waiting for him. Taking moments to look this other man over this "Viper" before locking his dark eyes with the other mans and beginning to speak.

Is this the part where you cry now little man. Is this the part here you finish your transition from wrestler to joke crying over the fact that you haven't won yet. I had thought you better than that from watching, but I guess I was wrong. I think my debut here made it clear what i think of the jokes in this business, as I slaughter the joke know as Skullinator in a cage and he has not been heard from since, so my question to you now Jason Michaels, are you a man or a joke. The answer to that question lies only with you but it seems your metal needs to be tested and this time one on one, no other players shall be allowed here other than me and you so we can see how you truly are. Now Jason Michaels how do you wish to face fate. How do you wish to face me?

He waits now for an answer from his chosen opponent.

Viper takes a look at Synn, a big guy then again most wrestler's were. Still Viper crying never, it was something stuck in his eye honest. Losing sleep was something he did suffer from at the moment two losses from two matches, still I guess adding another one couldn't really hurt now could it

Well, so you beat the former champ around here. If I remember correctly so did a woman? Never mind it doesn't matter to me if we face off in a cage, a cell, on top of a ladder, in Katanna's office, the moon, a Chinese sweat shop or maybe I reach inside your arse and slap your head right now? Maybe you enjoy kissing your own arse, but nobody else does. So as for testing my metal sunshine go ahead what do you say to three stages of hell? Starting backstage, then hardcore and then if need be inside the same cage you beat Skullinator in?

Viper lowers the microphone and receives a big cheer from the crowd, maybe this was The Viper they wanted to see, was this the Viper he wanted to be

Now was that man enough for ya, Synn? Do you have the metal to go one on one in that type of match?

[Synn]

Oh some fire to this one yet. There may be some faint hope that he won't become one of the many jokes wandering the halls of APW.

Ah yes I here some fire in those words as you speak them. To answer your question I'm more than man enough to face you as you requested, the question is are you ready for what s to come Jason Michaels. This is after all a test of your metal, do you truly want to face me in a parking lot where the only rule is the strong survive on the broken bodies of the weak, just to have that followed up with a hardcore match where anything and everything that lays in this arena can be used as a weapon to break both your body and spirit, is the fire you just showed me true or a sad attempt to bluff your way through this with some dignity intact hmm. I guess we'll see soon enough, but trust me when I say should I find you lacking Michaels the only tears shed will be by those who mourn your passing.

[viper]

One wonders when you became an Undertaker rip off, you see for people to mourn my passing implies that I still got family? If that is so would you mind pointing them out to me? After all I thought I buried the last one before I came here, now you can come out here with your tattoos do your death warmed up routine and talk about how you are going to kill me in the parking lot and feeding on the bodies of the week? What's your real name Hannibal flippin' Lector? Or maybe you truly believe you are here to sort out the men from the boys the savior of APW? Well I'll guess we will find out then
