Tick…
Tick…
Tick…
!BOOM!
So the doubters had their say; and this time they were wrong. Can anyone actually say they paid attention to Asylum and when Blade came out victorious, they weren’t surprised?
I didn’t think so.
It was always time for a change, and this time the change came for the better; a brand move and a new agent; it looks like things could be picking up for Blade; its one step closer to Test for the Best and one more chance to shine. Remember that rookie that surprised everyone by qualifying last year? Neither do I; Why? Because today I stand here a different man; a new man; a more intense man. It is only a matter of time before I start making the impact that I need to make, and what better place than at Test for the Best.
Oh; just one thing.
I need to get there first…

Post Match Asylum
5th June 2011
Manchester, New Hampshire
[Backstage in the locker room, Blade is excited and currently celebrating his win over FRANK. Jackson Steed, Blade’s agent is trying to calm him down, but the celebrations continue.]
“Wooooo… See I told you Jacko, this dog still has some fight left in him.”
“Yeah sure you won, but to be fair to the other guy, he had his moments…”
“That’s the thing though Jacko, you can have as many moments as you like, but if you don’t take them, you end up on the bottom of the pile. I for one feel like I retired that has been tonight; I doubt he will be showing his face on Asylum anytime soon.”
“You really can be overly cocky at times can’t you? Maybe you forget what happened on Overdrive, the reasons why you are stuck on the ‘B’ Show?”
[Blade sighs before responding to Jacksons comments.]
“’A’ show, ‘B’ show, it doesn’t matter, Blade it back and he is going to take Asylum by storm. I mean c’mon did anyone really think I would mess this opportunity up? The talent here doesn’t even compare to Overdrive, there I was a small fish in a big pond, now I own the pond!”
“Own the pond?...”
“You know what I mean, I am the big dawg on campus now, and it’s going to take one hell of a spectacular talent to derail me now!”
“Just as long as you remember you are back in training tomorrow, we have some promotional shoots to do later in the week, and you need to get focused for the next show, because I can guarantee you that your next opponent will be bigger, stronger and better than FRANK!”
“Jacko, get with the time’s, it’s time to party now! I got plenty of time to prepare for whoever…”
[Reaching into his locker, Blade pulls out a fistful of dollars and forces them into Jacksons hand.]
“Blade, seriously, I am not going down this route again.”
“Jacko… Chillax… Have a beer, buy yourself a lap dance and enjoy the moment.”
[Blade pauses before he starts to spell out his name.]
“B-L-A-D-E is back.”
[FADE TO BLACK]

1st Mariner Arena
Baltimore, Maryland
18th June 2011
[Backstage at the first mariner arena, a promotional shoot area has been set aside for shoots for the Asylum Mega Stars. Blade is present, but looking a bit worse for wear, his shades cover his blackened eyes and his body language is screaming out for rest. Jackson is coordinating with the camera man at the moment as Blade tries to hide away into his jacket. Jackson walks over to Blade and tries to remove the glasses from his face, but his refusal makes Jackson back off. A small amount of abuse is exchanged as Jackson makes his way behind the camera and the cameraman gives the signal that his is now rolling.]
“B-A-L-T-I-M-O-R-E”
[Blade raises his posture as he screams into the camera.]
“It sucks to be you!”
[Blade giggles to himself as he continues.]
“If I had a choice, I can assure you I would not be here today. For those of you who care, you would know it was my birthday yesterday, and that I would be in no fit state to be here. I kind of find it insulting that an Asylum show would be planned for a weekend with such meaning. But as you can see I am forced here today to meet my ‘contractual obligations’ so that’s exactly what I will do. At least I showed up and I can give some sort of show.”
[Blade begins to cough and splutter as he tries to clear his throat; the after effects from a night out are clearly evident.]
“One year ago, I made my APW debut and I still stand here before you all. I would say that for someone who was told that they didn’t have the dedication and talent to survive in such a company would have been on the back burner some time ago, but you see, the powers that be can move me from show to show, they can try to de rail my motivation, but what they didn’t count on was the fact that I can’t be broken; I may have had emotional problems, but those days are past me; it’s time to shine once again.”
[Blade reaches up and removes the glasses from his face.]
“It doesn’t matter what state I am in, because I will still turn up to do a job, and this week it seems like I have been granted another easy pass, which is good because I don’t think I will be in any fit state to put on a great show like usual. You see, once again I have been booked against Yoko Tamagotchi…”
[Blade is interrupted by Jackson in the background trying to correct his mistake.]
“Bless you. I don’t know what it is, but every time I mention that guy’s name, someone spurts out something that makes it seem like they are sneezing; anyway, Yoko is the man that backed down from me last week and that’s when poor old FRANK was forced to step in; I am not sure but I have it on good authority that it was something to do with work permits and he is unable to fight. It doesn’t matter to me if he is legal or illegal, at the end of the day he is the only person that stands between me and Test for the Best.”
“The tournament that I broke into last year when everyone expected me to sit on the side lines and watch from a distance. I had fun last year, but it was John Green who ended my run; the thing is, he isn’t here anymore and I could care less if he was. I have to qualify yet again, but this time I don’t have to beat ten men in a battle royal to get there; all I have to do is dispose of Yoko and the royalties for another week will come spilling in.”
“It would be easy if Yoko knew what he was coming into; a new country, a new sport, everything will be new to him, but I am willing to make a deal. I will take it easy on him if we can make this short and sweet. I don’t really want to break a sweat and the event kind of falls right in the middle of my celebration period, so it would be a hell of a lot easier if he were to take a dive and we can grab a beer as soon as the event finishes.”
“I have no worries about this, and whatever happens, Test for the Best has my name all over it.”
[Blade makes his way out of the shot of the camera as the scene fades to black.]
