Not Another Open Challenge (O2A)

[Kenisha Williams]

Belly: "They ask me why I do it,
'Cause I fuckin' can,
Ask about me bitch,
I'm the fuckin' man,

Ask about me homie,
I'm the fuckin' man.
All around the world,
I'm the fuckin' man...."

...That's the sound of the APW Messiah as the "M.V.P." balloon tent rises on the stage of APW. It didn't take long for the one and only Jay Crack pushed his way out onto the stage. Pausing for a moment as he stood there and looked out to the screaming fans. Nodding his head. Yeah. It's like that. He proceeds to make his way down the ramp. Reaching his hands out, he slaps high fives with the lucky fans who could make it to the front row. Throwing their hands out over the security barricade and catching a high five from your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler. He heads over to the left side of the ring and makes his way up the steel steps onto the ring apron. Jay stopped for a moment and looked out to the crowd from the apron. A smirk on his face as he pointed out to the audience. A quick wink as he laughs to himself. Looking around around at all the homemade signs being held up in the air to show their support for Jay Crack. Then he climbs into the ring through the ropes and makes a quick dash to the ropes on the other side. Coming to a slow halt in the middle of the ring, he drops down and slaps the mat. Standing up straight, he throws his arms up at his sides. Flash photography met the smiling face of Jay Crack as he stood there. Nodding his head, he begins to back step and reached behind his back. Grabbing the microphone from out of his back pocket, he uses his free hand to signal for the backstage staff to cut off his music. Once his music had been cut, he lifted his microphone and began to get the party crackin'...

"What's going down Toronto?!"

Instant cheers fill the arena from the adoirng masses. Simply loving the fact that Jay mentioned Toronto.

"Hahahahaha... That's what I thought. Now, I'm sure you all caught Red, White, and Bruised. APW's first two night pay per view."

More cheers flooded Jay's ears. Nodding his head, he lifted the microphone up and continued...

"And as you can tell... Still the champions, baby. Still the champions. Doesn't seem like too many teams can handle Crack Roxx. I'm not going to front though. I'm not. Those High Voltage boys can really go. I'm going to give them their props. They had me going there for a second. Only for a second though. It was a hard fought battle, but in the end, we all know what the results were from that. Now... Let's get onto tonight. You see... I'm not looking for a tag team match right now where me and Nattie could just embarass another team. Nah. I'm more inclined to go with dazzling the fans tonight with another memorable singles match. So... I guess the only question that leaves. Is who's it going to be? It's a simple open challenge. Let's see if we can get ourselves a challenger out here."

Jay lowered the microphone and waited.

[Nattie Roxx]

*SOME-AMBIGUOUS-LYRIC*A HEADPHONE

Nattie's new theme screams as Nattie comes jumping from behind the entrance curtain, smile on her face as "we got a timebomb" gets repeated over and over followed by a "na-na-na-na." Skipping her way down the entrance ramp, she gave the fans some love as she gave some of the lucky ones high fives and hugs as she made her way towards the wrestling ring. Having quite the showing during both nights of Red, White, and Bruised, Nattie reaches the ring steps, and as she did before, hopped up them like a bunny rabbit, pausing after each step to give the fans a lovely pose.

After what seemed like quite the time, she was finally inside the ring, microphone in hand as she propped herself up on the nearest turnbuckle, sitting down smiling. "Hiya Jay..." she begins, acting rather shyly as she placed her free hand in her lap. "Open challenges are fun, right? And as with any open challenge, anyone can face anyone, right?" She then looks back up, and into Jay's eyes. "So...I'm out here...we aren't having a tag team match...and....I wouldn't come out here just so you can change the match stipulation..."

[Kenisha Williams]

You could say that Jay was... kind of surprised to see his partner answering his open challenge. Atleast, that's what he's gathering from this. A smirk on his face as he nodded his head. Lifting the microphone up, he begins to reply..

"I take it that... You want to be that challenger?"

Nodding his head, he just shrugged and continued...

"I've got absolutely no problem with that what-so-ever. A friendly competition between partners couldn't hurt. We pit one's Frog Splash of Doom against the other's Frog Splash of Doom, and we find out who is truly "froggy" in Crack Roxx. Hahahaha..."

His gaze turned to the fans as he spoke...

"How's that sound folks? A friendly competition among partners right here in this very ring tonight?!"

Of course, the fans cheered at the sound of this. Crack versus Roxx? The greatest tag team in APW? Going one on one? Who wouldn't love to see that?

[Nattie Roxx]

Nattie scratches the back of her head, acting as if she's pondering over something that's vaguely important as she turns her back to Jay, "Froggy? I don't know Jay...I think it's kind of obvious which one between the two of us is more froggy then the other...I mean, I've been using the Frog Splash for as long as we've been a tag team...and our matches usually end with a Frog Splash...coming from me..." She then turns back around, and gives him a smile, "In fact...during our last tag match, right when I was about to hit the Frog Splash on Viper for the first time, you decided to move him out of the way, right while I was in mid-air, making me hit the mat rather hard..." Placing her hand on her chin, looking up towards the ceiling, "I don't know, I just thought it was rather weird, and we still won the match regardless, but still, hitting the ring mat, knowing that I was just about to hit Viper just seems a little...strange."

The necklace hanging about her neck then shines under the arena lights taking Nattie's attention as she suddenly comes to a realization. "It can't be because of my lack of admiration towards this?" She holds up the necklace with her thumb, so the crowd could notice it shimmering around her neck,"Because Jay...honestly, I didn't know how to act when you gave me this, I mean, it's not everyday I get handed a gift that looks really expensive, and the truth is, I still don't know how to act around this, so I'm very sorry if this caused that in anyway, but please understand. And you don't really seem like a vengeful person." It was all making sense, Jay failed to mention any tag team promo for the second night of Red, White, and Bruised, causing Nattie to completely overlook it until she was notified later that night, and then, she felt like Jay was giving her the cold shoulder of sorts since she got this gift, but that could have been Nattie looking too much into things.

[Kenisha Williams]

"Now..."

Jay lifted his free hand up. His index finger being the only one extended up as he gathered his thoughts. Replaying the match in his mind. He did remember that particular moment in the match. He did remember. He nodded his head and began to respond...

"I will admit, I did screw up one of your Frog Slashes. I will admit that. Did I do it on purpose? I'm going to have to disagree entirely about that part. I'm sorry that I messed you up, but I in no way intended on doing such a thing with thoughts of harming you. I didn't even realize you were on the top rope until after I heard the impact behind me. You could say... I was a little too into the heat of battle. I guess you could say... Jay Crack was a little too into delivering pain to not just Daniels, but to his partner Viper too."

He shrugged his shoulders. That was the truth. Sometimes Jay can really go all out and just unleash at all people in the ring with him.

"I'm sure you can understand that Nattie. This was no ordinary tag team match. It was a tornado tag team match. With every one in the ring at the same time, it becomes hard to keep track of where all members in the ring are at all the time. We see this all the time in matches like this and more. Sometimes tag team members accidentally grab their partner, sometimes they screw the other up. We happened to have that happen to us. I forgot where you were, and when I felt I was done with Daniels for the moment... I went on the attack at Viper. I saw him in my peripheral and struck. I didn't see you on my left nor did I see you on my right. I didn't see you infront of me. I didn't know whether you were behind me, outside, or where ever. I just reacted when I saw an opponent. I apologize full heartedly that I didn't realize you were attacking the same moment I did. It has nothing to do with your reaction to my gift."
