Your Answer (O2 Nathan Michaels)

[blaze]

It had been some time now since the pay-per-view known as Battlezone had ended. Since Michaels had challenged Blaze to a match, and since Blaze had shrugged him off as a nobody. Making him have to wait it all out. Now though, with word that the Angels had decided to go ahead and book the match, Blaze only sees it fit to address the matter...

'Simple Survival' by Mushroomhead blares over the Pa system, sending the fans into a frenzy of boos. As Blaze steps out onto the stage, title draped over his shoulder, those boos only become louder. As he does to most things though, he just shrugs it off. Slowly, he makes his way down to the ring. Sliding his belt in first, then following in after it. As he rises back to his feet, he picks his title back up along with a Mic that had been slid into the ring to him...

"Full Throttle is upon us once more!"

The crowd actually cheer for a moment as Blaze speaks of the upcoming show...

"And at Full Throttle....It has been announced....That I will face Nathan Michaels!"

More cheers from the over excited audience...

"In a non title match!"

Blaze's twisted smile shows as the audience rings out in a chorus of boos once more. It seemed as if he was enjoying this...

"Now, I don't know who these angels think they are....Booking this match without even asking me! But its okay....I mean, I did plan on accepting Nathan's pathetic challenge anyways....I just wanted it on my terms....Wanted to make Michaels sweat it out....But its okay...its okay...."

Blaze begins to pace around the ring a bit. Scratching his head, thinking about how to go about this...

"But then....Then they place me in a tag match next week against Nate and Pryor! I don't even have a damn partner! But thats next week....I have time to work that out...right now....Nate, you need to get your ass out here now...We need to 'discuss'....some things involving our upcoming match...."

*A guitar solo strikes and begins and the entrance music to the current APW Tag Team Champion Nathan Michaels. With the Tag Championship strapped around his waist, a microphone in one hand, and in his wrestling gear he steps out from behind the curtain and begins walking down the ramp. He pauses half way down and looks around at the fans cheering him on. They get louder once the music stops.*

So, you finally decided to accept my challenge eh Blaze? I was beginning to think I was just going to have a light weekend, but looks like thats not going to happen anymore. But now since you have me out here, whats this your blabbing about our match, and what terms we need to talk about?

Blaze rests his back against one of the turnbuckles. He waits a moment for the crowd noise to die down a bit before he replies...

"Well....I was actually thinking about the match type...A normal one on one match just seems so.....lackluster? Yes, lackluster...thats the word...So I was thinking..."

Blaze pushes off from the turnbuckle and begins to pace around the ring. Keeping his eyes on Michaels still standing on the ramp at all times...

"Well...After putting your tag partner for next week, Pryor, through that table....I was thinking...a table match perhaps? But no....thats to over done...not much better than a one on one match...So, maybe take it up a notch...TLC? No, the fans aren't worthy of my specialty match on a normal, non pay-per-view show....Besides....if there were a ladder in the ring...you'd just stand even less of a chance...and thats not fair....Sooooo..."

The arena fills with boos once more as Blaze keeps belittling the audience and his opponent.....

"I finally decided...We needed something with more than three little weapons in the ring....A table, ladder, and chair just don't fit my needs....So, I suggest we bring the whole arsenal....In a hardcore match!"

The fans immediately show what they think of the match idea with a deafening cheer. Its obvious they would like to see Blaze take a sledgehammer to the head, or a DDT onto a chair...

"So what'ya say Mr.Grandslam? Think you can take the king of extreme in a hardcore match?"

[Big Red]

So, if your the King of Extreme, then that must make me the Titan of Tap. Two elements that don't mix well. But you know what Blaze, I'm feeling lucky, you want me to step into your element then...

*Nathan pauses for a moment as he continues his way down the ramp, looking at what can be used as weapons*

I accept.

*Mr. Grand-Slam reaches around to his back to unstrap the Tag Championship before sliding into the ring to face the APW World Champion face to face*

It'll be my pleasure to make the King tap out in his own match. Then, next week; I'll repeat the process when I make you Tap Out again.

Blaze's twisted grin shows as Michaels accepts his match type. He takes a few steps in closer to him, they now stand practically toe to toe...

"Oh really? You know, its kind of hard to lock in a submission when every ounce of your body is bruised, bloody, and broken! And the second you step into that match with me....Expect to be....Bruised....Bloodied....and Broken!"

With that, Blaze drops his Mic and pushes his way past Michaels. He slides out of the ring, his music playing as he slowly makes his way up the ramp. Now on the stage, he shouts down to Michaels...

"Bruised....Bloodied.....and Broken!"

He then turns and disappears behind the backstage curtain...
