Post by Lance Ryan on Nov 14, 2013 21:44:29 GMT
~*~*~It has been years, to some seeming like decades since we have seen a return to the ring of this magnitude. For over a decade, Lance Ryan was one of the names in the wrestling industry that was synonymous with World Champion, superstar and of course Icon. It was a day that many thought would never come when Lance was forced to hang up his boots to take on the role of father, husband and friend. Now, in an industry when names come, have their moment of glory and leave, Lance Ryan is coming back to prove that he still has it, that he will again get IT and that he will take on any and all comers. Love him or hate him, Lance Ryan has returned with his customary ego, goals and determination.~*~*~
~*~*~Lance is sitting alone in a rocking chair. Rocking back and forth seemingly with a smirk on his face. We are zeroed in on just his face and the smile breaks.~*~*~
Lance: Three plus years. It has been a god awful amount of time since I have wrestled in a sanctioned wrestling match. Men that I consider friends and men that I consider enemies have banged on my door, burned up my phone lines and left me multiple messages asking me for one more match, asking me to put my body inside of that ring one more time. I have been asked to fight for money, for charity, for fun and even to finish up a blood feud. Every time I had to say no. It wasn’t the time and to be honest, I didn’t know if the time would ever come. I was having a blast raising my two boys. I was enjoying the married life. I was enjoying everything that the REAL Lance Ryan had become. But then the day came.
I was sitting at home one day, enjoying my customary whiskey on the rocks when it hit me. Jamie, Jessy and Zell were getting along fine and it was time for me to dig through the attic and bring back out the boots, the gear and the attitude that I had long locked away.
Now the time is here! Monday night I will walk down that aisle for the first time in half a decade and I will step into that ring in my gear for the first time in half a decade and I can imagine that the IWF are peeing in their pants with glee to see the man that made wrestling grace their ring. I am awaiting notification on my opponent now.
~*~*~Off Camera we hear a vibration and Lance picks up his phone as the camera pans out and his face sinks.~*~*~
Lance: …Eddie Black…? I disappear from the wrestling world for five years and my return match is against Eddie Black? Who in the bloody hell is Eddie Black?
~*~*~Lance pauses for a moment and then his smile returns.~*~*~
Lance: Ah, I am sure that this is their way of helping me to ensure that the rust is all worn off. I saw Eddie Black’s sad performance against Mike Laszlo this week and I know for a fact that if Eddie couldn’t get himself together for that match, he doesn’t stand a chance against The Icon. Hell, Eddie tapped out. This is a business that is built on strength, attrition and fortitude…you don’t quit. Eddie, I sure hope that you know what the IWF has put you into here. You are entering the lion’s den with a man that will dissect you and ensure that you again take a 1 in the loss column.
~*~*~After five years away from the ring, Lance didn’t expect to be treated like the legend that he was. In fact, even though he knows that he can rise back to that level, he wants NOTHING handed to him on a silver platter. However, Lance didn’t expect an uneducated animal like Eddie Black to be his first opponent in the ring. While not afraid, he is aware that he is taking on someone that plans to hurt him more than wrestle him.~*~*~
~*~*~When we catch up with Lance he is covered in sweat and dressed in a pair of black boxing shorts. His hair tied back and his eyes filled with the drive and determination that we came to expect from this man half a decade ago.~*~*~
Lance: Eddie, nice to meet you. I managed to take some time out of my busy schedule to see what you had to say about me, about nCw and about you. You are an interesting fellow to say the least. However, I can’t help but to be stuck on one thing about your words. No, it wasn’t that this match will be an epic…it wasn’t even that you seem to think that you will make me bleed, but I will get back to that. It was in fact that you are a very confused, very disabled, very lost human being. Allow me to give you some advice son, yes, the first bit is free. If you cannot focus on the task at hand in this industry, you may as well already expect a loss. You have way too much going on.
First you blabber on about Ace, then you twist and turn over engagement and then you stutter your way through a repetitive piece of dribble in the form of a promo against me? Good lord man. If I held onto stress and every little thing like you do, I would be dead already. Let me explain to you the ways in which you have already defeated yourself before you climb into my ring on Monday.
First, your head, as mentioned is scrambled. Your problems with Ace, they don’t mean anything here. Your head being in the wrong place has already cost you one match last week. This week it is going to cost you another. I don’t know or really care what you are pissing and moaning about when it comes to Ace and Jake…I don’t care enough to research your high school drama. What I do know is that in this business you are best to keep your eyes fixed ahead of you because if you don’t it’s not what is behind you that will kick the tar out of you. It will be the man standing in front of you across the ring.
Second, engagement? Seriously? First of all let me say that you are acting like a high school drama queen who expects her boyfriend to propose to her. Will he ask me? Won’t he? Does he love me? SHUT THE HELL UP! Man up son. If you really want to marry a woman then you should just ask her and find out if she loves you. It’s really THAT simple. I would recommend however that you pick a better ring. That one looks like you picked it out of a pawn shop display case. Oh, and by the way. If you want to have some credibility for yourself, what you do and what you make…maybe you shouldn’t go around saying that you will never have kids, a house or a life…especially when you are facing a man who has all of the above. If you aren’t making enough money to own a house, you really are low on the totem pole. I don’t care how much blood you think you will spill, you make it sound like you suck…so, you suck.
Finally, you seem caught up in a load of lies. I don’t know how many times you said that you don’t care who I am or what I have done and then followed that up with facts about my past. Where I have been, what I have done. Hell, you almost told half of my biography. Except you seemed stuck on nCw because people don’t seem to like our type around here. We came from a place that we all called home, but somehow you seem to think that that is the only place that I have excelled.
Even though you say that you don’t care about seventeen times in your interview you displayed a bit of a man crush on me, so allow me to finish the history for you because you seem to think that I can only wrestle and I don’t know how to fight. Before nCw there was DCF, WWA, NWA and WCF. Before I became the much lauded multi time heavyweight champion, I was a fighter. I started out like you. All that I wanted to do was hurt people, make people bleed and scar people. I felt good when I ended careers and made people hurt. Do you know what the differences are between us? The first difference is that I grew. I realized that this was a business and not just an outlet for little boys that haven’t grown into their big boy pants yet and realized that this isn’t just an outlet for sociopaths and schizophrenics. You are the latter. You likely always will be because I can tell that at best you have a grade five education. The second difference is that when I am forced to I have a second gear. I am able to clear my conscience and hurt people. You said in your little piece that this is a kids show but then continued to swear, threaten and have thoughts of blood-lust over this match. Maybe IWF should take their sanction off of this match because son, you are fixing to get hurt.
You pondered aloud whether they thought lowly of me or highly of you when they made this match. I think that those are both wrong. I think that they think lowly of you. That is why they have set you up to be hurt in this match. They want a travelling piece of rift raft like you off of their programming because having a woman abusing, potty-mouthed remedial school dropout like you on the roster is in fact the biggest mistake that they have made. I plan to rid this company of human waste like yourself. My career kicks back into drive this Monday and your star will be the one that is snuffed out.
~*~*~Lance simply stands up and walks off camera. Odds are that it won’t be another five years before we see him on camera again.~*~*~
