Last Year it was the Franchise, this year it will be the legend
There is nothing going on at a house show happening just a while before the big Desperate Measures Pay Per View in ICW. The newly crowned champion Maniac Miller will be facing a former champion and hardcore icon Patrick Webster in a King of the Hill Match, one of the most exciting in the buisness. Just before that match goes down, Big Al Stud and Pyro will be going head to head in a mutch heated grudge match. Pyro has already come out and talked a little bit about this match and as most people know, it is just a matter of time before Big Al Stud will do the same. Both of these two men are fresh off of first round losses in the World Title Tournament. So fresh off of loses, one of these Hall of Famers will walk out of Indiana a winner, but which one will it be.

The scene is outside, outside of where...no one knows. But one thing is for sure, we are definately outside, as it is a clear looking semi wintery afternoon. Then, what appears to be a "randomly" perfect timing, a silver stretch hummer pulls up. Not a limo, but a damn hummer. The hummer has nice tinted windows and then a door opens. A foot is shown stepping out of the hummer with some nice, Nike Uptempos without a single scuff on them. Then the partner steps out. The hummer door quickly slams shut and then the camera starts panning up the body. It goes to some nice Nike wind pants, up to a Boston Red Sox Nomar Garciaparra jersey. The camera then shows Big Al Stud's face, with his same old look and an Oakland Raider's stocking cap perched atop his head. Stud looks around, then into the camera and walks right bye the camera man and into a building with dark doors. He starts methodically walking around as if he truly knows where he is going and end up comming to the booth where a person wearing a funny looking hat is standing...Big Al starts talking to the man.

Big Al Stud: Hey, over here now.

Man: Yeah, what are you wanting to know?

Big Al Stud: Yeah I wanna know what your thoughts on the Pyro vs Big Al Stud match at the PPV are. Give me your odds.

Man: What are you talking about, this is a harness racing OTB. I mean c'mon no one bets on pro wrestling.

Big Al Stud: If you know what is good for me you'll tell me what you think.

Man: Alright alright. I think that Pyro will win, he is the legend and Stud is not at the top of his game. He doesnt appear to have it any more since he came back from that devastation and career threatening injury. I think Pyro will finish him off 12 minutes into the match with not one, but two infernos for good measure. And you know what sir, I will give you 5:1 odds on Pyro winning.

Big Al Stud: Oh well is that so? Well I'll tell you what, I like to live dangerously, and I think ill put five thousand dollars on that. I'll see you Monday Morning Earl.

Stud then walks back the same elaborate pattern he had to walk to get into the OTB, and then heads out the doors and makes a right turn. There he sees his beautiful 2001 silver pontiac firebird convertable. Stud walks over to the care and hops up and into the driver's seat, and the camera man hops into the passengers. Stud then drives off into the open road and starts to talk about his match.

Big Al Stud: Well lets see, looks like I am going to be facing Pyro again at this Pay Per View. Now this is a man who I am just all to familiar with. This guy just thinks he is god's gift to wrestling and god's gift to ICW. But you know what...everyone else not only thinks, but knows that he is not god's gift to wrestling. You see, I will tell you the truth about why I came out and did what I did just about a month ago. Well as many of you know a Big Al Stud return was rumored all over the internet, it was in all the wretsling magazines...everybody and their momma knew that I was comming back, but they didnt know when. Many people thought I would come back the tuesday after Cataclysm to face the new world champion, and I know they did because I read it at all the big web sites. So anyway, I was backstage watching one great Pay Per View. I saw some younger talent that were just breaking into their own when I was injured and now where doing great things in bigger matches. I saw a lot of entertaining moves and great matches. Then came the main event. I saw Rage, Reaper, and Volcano giving it their all to pull of a great match. But not Pyro, Pyro wasnt selling moves, he was just doing little punches and kicks, and he could barely walk about the ring. SO you know what I had to do, the people knew what I had to do, the wrestlers backstage knew what I had to do. I had to go down to that ring, and I had to make the match respectable and entertaining by knocking Pyro 100% out of the match. And I did it, single handidly. And that is why I did what I did, I did what I had to do. Ah look, we are here now.

Stud screeches on the breaks just in front of the RCA Dome in Indy. He hops out of the car and starts to walk in, he sees someone and tosses the keys at him and says to keep it close. Stud then mumbles something about some real buisness to attend to. He walks inside the building and sees someone who works there.

Big Al Stud: Where is Pyro and how do I get there?

The man starts talking to Big Al Stud and the camera cuts to a commercial break.

The promo comes back on with Big Al Stud ranting and romaing through the locker room hallways. Pounding on walls and yelling obsenities that no one should ever reapeat. Stud starts knocking on random walls and hallways and then suddenly stops. He looks up at the door to his left, and then the camera shows it. It says "The Legend, Pyro" and has a huge gold plated star above it. Stud looks at the star and words in disgust and then procedes to spit on Pyro's door. Stud then knocks once on the door and then looks at his hand covered in spit. HE makes a disgusted look and whipes in ont he wall, and then pounds several move times on Pyro's door. "COME IN AL" Is heard in a muffled but still somewhat familiar voice. Stud then kicks the door open, without doing damage to it of course. Stud then walks in not to see Pyro in the room, but ICW President Mr. S. Stud looks at Mr. S and starts yelling...

Big Al Stud: Where the hell is Pyro, why are you in his damn room. I want Pyro and I want him now!!!

Mr. S: Yeah yeah you say you want Pyro. But you know what, Pyro also whats you, but I took the liberty of havbing him escorted somewhere else right now, so neither of you two will do something that you will regret later on, like if you were to attack him, or do something so stupid you can not compete in just a mere few hours at Desperate Measures. Now, Pyro has already come out and talked trash about you and what he thinks of you, and I suggest that you do that also, if not because you want to...then to let off a little bit of steam before you punch the wrong person or thing.

Big Al Stud: Yeah Mr. S I will do just that, because yeah I saw what Pyro has to say, and I must say that it might just go down as the biggest crock of bull shit that I have seen in quite some time. I mean first he talked about how he didnt lose on Friday and really I dont care to talk about that, except just to prove about how much Pyro cares about his win loss record and he is so vane to think that just because he wasnt pinned, that makes him somewhat of a winner, but I will come out and tell you that he is 100% full blood loser. Now me, I can admit that hey, I lost a match...but I have also won a few matches in my day. Most recently when I beat Pyro, HHH, and Rage in a fatal fourway in which I dominated the entire match, esentailly winning a 3 on 1 match...something I didnt see Pyro do, even though he was one of the many 3s.

Big Al Stud: Now, for what Pyro really had to say. Pyro, you were quick to point out the couple of victories you have over me at Pay Per Views. But did you even once talk about the wins that I hold against you in TNEF and FNRs. I mean unlike popular beleif PPVs are not the only thing that matter in ICW. Guys that come out and win night in and night out are really special, guys like Maniac Miller are what real champions are. Max Powers is a real champion, and Big Al Stud is a real Champion. Jokes like Pyro, Regulator, HHH, you are not real champions. I would put my money on people like Julian or Ice to take you out to the woodshed because you can not do it night in and night out. Now, while on the subject of Max Powers and Maniac Miller, I want to wish the Extreme Icons the best of the luck in the Graveyard match, I will be watching that match with the utmost of interest. If you 2 need any pointers about Graveyard matches just ask me, as I was in the match just last year. But back to Pyro...

Big Al Stud: Pyro we look at this Pay Per View, it talks about Desperate Measures, and many people might not know what this was all about. I remember though, because just shortly before I returned you were sidligned with what many beleived to be a very desperate act by some desperate people, but that is beside the point. Last year I was fresh off of my third and best comeback to ICW. I was wrestling in two matches in the first real PPV of my ICW career. Late in the Card I wrestled in the graveyard match. In this match EI came in and left the stables champions, and low and behold a year later EI is more than likely going to walk in and walk out the stables champions, because I smart man like me knows who to bet on, and I have me eye on the EI. But thats not what I was getting at, we look back just one year ago and we see Big Al Stud in the mid card against ICW Hall of Famer Sting. Now, at this time the HOF was far out of my eyesights and Sting was a living legend. The so-called franchise of ICW. He reminds me alot of you Pyro. You WERE both great wrestlers back in 99. Both former world champions, and neither of you have held the title in like decades. You are both senoir members of the hall of fame. He is the franchise and you are the legend. I see many similarities in not only your wrestling style, your personas, but also in your outcomes. You see Sting came into the match overconfident and the rookie Big Al Stud did it to him. I beat the franchise as if he was a little red headed step-franchise, and you know what Pyro, I am going to see to it that you share the same fate. Since Desperate Measures, has anyone seen or heard from Sting? Come black Sunday this year, will anyone even remember who Pyro was?

Big Al Stud: Now Pyro, after that 100% true and accurate history lesson, I am going to respond to what you said in your little promo. All you did was talk about the past, which we can tell that your living in the past with that nice little mullet that you have growing. I mean honsetly your lucky to have gotten what you got. If Mr. D and Mr. S didnt have an orgasm whenever they saw someone big, then you wouldnt be a 6x world champion. You see some of us earn titles by out wrestling and working others, we earn them with our skills. We dont earn them by getting more title shots in 99-00 than most people can even think about getting in their lifetimes. Now, we get into Pyro's great talking of the upcomming match... He talked about Cataclysm a little bit. About how this is not what started it. About how I made him angry by comming down the ring and doing my civic duty to just try to rid the world of old, washed up, cant heck it, crappy wrestlers. Pyro then talked about how I did nothing for the title, but pass it around like a french whore. Even though the people that he really wants to say that to is Rage and Ice. He is mad at them for deliberately trying to lsoe the title and just get it back, which is not what I did. But Pyro cant run with those dogs, and you can blame me in your own mind for their mistakes. You talked all kinds of crap because I only held the title for 11 days, but you know what...much like you talked about in your first couple statements. I didnt lose the damn title. Mike Lindsay lost me the World Title to a man who would beat you every day Ice. but frankly, I have grown tired on the subject of me proving once again Pyro, that you have no clue what you are talking about.

Big Al Stud: Now Pyro, now that you have gotten me all pissed off, I will just have to keep going. Pyro you kept going, with your bullshit logic trying to convice the fans how good you are. I mean for real, if I could buy you for what you are worth, and sell you for what you and everyone else thinks that you are worth...i could be a rich rich man when I die. But the beauty of it is that I dont have to, I am already a rich rich man. Anyway, Pyro you talked about how I didnt even make overtime in the match to determine who was the best United States Champion ever, and well. I want to know one thing. Who got most of their victories from disqualification? That just goes to show you that frankly, you are not that good Pyro. You have the refs, Mr. S, Mr. D, everyone in the higher ups of this damn federation in your pocket, and the ref decided he would do anything in his power to give you the victory. Regardless of that, lets take a look at yet another fact from this match. Had this match not been turned into an iron man match, I would have been the victor, as you see it was I who made the first pinfall and thus should have won the match no matter what stipulations there were to the match. Pyro you also basically repeated what you said in your last stanza, talking about how I did nothing for the title. About how I am smelly, and just a tarnish on the belt. Well one thing in response to that is I take fucking showers Pyro, so shut the fuck up!!! Also, I did alot for the title. I mean, I am the only one to hold it 6 amazing times, and if I wanted to right now, I could make it 7 very easily. Without the aide of Mr. S, or anyone else...

Big Al Stud: Pyro, next you talked about your tainted victory at Pandora's Box. Alright it wasnt really a tainted victory, as you had the upper hand most all of the match. But basically because of the awefull name of the Pay Per View, I was not able to focus on the task at hand, I was too busy thinking, god damn this PPV name blows. But you are quick to point out all of your few victories over me Pyro, and you pointed out that I beat Super Ho and Christian Devyne for the US Title. But why are you so reluctant to point out when I beat you and Christian Devyne Pyro? Are you scared to remind the people? Are you scared at what the people will think of you? Well you remember it, I know you do. You put your all into this match, and you even cut 5 promos that were all just alike every other one you have done your whole life. I recall doing 3 promos and one was cut short by you trying to attack me, but did Mr. S do anything much like when I walked into your locker room? No, because Mr. S is in your back pocket.

Big Al Stud: Pyro then you said that this about the first time that we ever met...Shattered Innocence. First of all, this is not the first time that we ever met. We meat first back in the month of June 2000, when I was defending my United States Title against every wrestler in the federation, again a very fair match because the staff likes me so much. You see, Pyro I have not forgotten that you came down acting like a big shot and you eliminated me from the ring in like the final four or five. But I also remember I got a rematch in a fiar one on one match and got my title back. But we get back to the first time your egotistical ass thinks we ever met. At shattered Innocence. Everyone remembers the shocking card like it was just yesterday, so I dont really need to go over the results. All I am going to say is that Max Powers beat Ace in the finals. I joined EI and then V. Now, here is my side of the story. I was in the supposed elite of ICW. V, was supposed to be the best wrestlers in ICW. But it wasnt. Ace was slowly deterierating and becoming like an Ice follower. Volcano was all talk, and could not back up any of it when it because go time. Pyro and HHH were all but retired as they never did anything. The entire stable was Big Al Stud, the canadian champion who WON MATCHES, and did it on his own. Then I realized that I wanted to be with the real elite. I wanted to be with Ice, Max Powers, Patrick Webster, Jade Shocker...and wouldnt you want to be with those guys? Pyro, you are just mad because you did not get invited to run with the big dogs, and I did...because I am a bigger dog than you ever will be again. You talked about how bad Main Event was, only caring about getting titles, well frankly thats what it comes down to. Now one remembers you for beating Pyro on 10 differant TNEF and FNR cards, but the remember you for being the first and only 6x US Champion. Never before and never again has there ever been a stable half as dominant as Main EVent, for several times/weeks we held every title but just one or two. I was a two time triple champion while I was in Main Event, something that only one other person in ICW can also stake claims too, and that other person is you Pyro. You see, I have done alot of the same things as you, only I am talented and I earn everything. YOu can talk about how you havent held the world title in soooo many months, but you have had about 10-15 shots between those months, counting house shows and such. But me, I have had one real shot at the world title, and I capitolized. Did I even get a rematch when Mike Lindsay lost me the title? No, and for that I tell Mr. D, Mr. B, Mr. M, Mr. K, and you Mr. S to suck my dick and wait and see what I have in store for tonight.

Stud then spits down on Mr. S's nice looking shoe and Mr. S just scowls at him. Stud then storms out of the room and slams the door shut just behind the camera man who is still following him. He then walks down the hall and into the room that says Max Powers...
