Mr. Smyth
Mr. Smyth’s music hits and the dynamic of London’s 02 Arena changes. There is a strange combination – some are cheering for Smyth while others are booing. It’s almost seems 50/50 in ratio and when Smyth walks through the curtain with the TWE IronFist title on his shoulder, and stands on the staging area, the volume of the cheers and boos become deafening.
Mike: Now this is weird. Such a passionate response from the IWA faithful here.
Rocky: I never thought I’d hear Mr. Smyth’s name chanted in any arena across this world. Don’t get me wrong, nobody is more deserving than the premier businessman of IWA, but it is unusual for the scum of the world to appreciate him.
Mike: Scum of the world?
Rocky: I include you in that statement.
Mr. Smyth is still standing on the staging area, soaking in the atmosphere. He looks onto the crowd and seems taken aback by their reaction. After a few more seconds, Smyth composes himself and takes a walk down the aisle, ignoring all the fans he passes. He climbs the steps, climbs through the ropes and stops in the middle of the ring to stare at Kyojin. The atmosphere becomes electric as the two stare each other down. Without taking his eyes off Smyth, Kyojin raises his IWA Endurance title into the air and that is greeted by a strong, yet mixed reaction. Mr. Smyth smiles, raises his TWE IronFist championship into the air and that is also greeted by a strong, yet mixed reaction.
The music dies down and we are left with the two adversaries in the ring. The crowd is electric for this confrontation. A strong Kyojin chant echoes around the arena as Smyth walks over to the corner and grabs a mic from the stagehand. Just as he is about to speak, the Kyojin chant changes to a Smyth chant right in mid-air. Both Smyth and Kyojin start scanning the arena before coming face to face, and the stare down ensures again.
Kyojin: Well? Are you plan-
Mr. Smyth raises his hand and stops Kyojin mid-sentence. Smyth tells Kyojin to just wait as the crowd starts chanting “Let’s go Kyojin!” “Let’s go Smyth!” Smyth finally brings the microphone to his lips and addresses the fans.
Mr. Smyth: I see a big smog, illegal immigrants, a fourteen year old mom, a group of unemployed smack-heads and a considerable amount of Man United and Man City shirts. We must be in fackin’ Laaaaaaaaaaaaandan!
The fans remain split. Half of them are booing viciously, while the other half let out and ironic “Whey!” Kyojin shakes his head disapprovingly as Smyth looks back at his adversary.
Mr. Smyth: As much fun as I am having at this time making fun of the embarrassments that live in the capital city of this great country, I have something I want to say. Something I feel is rather important. Kyojin, you and I are not allowed to lay a finger on each other before Destined for Immortality, which is merely a few days away. If I lay my hands on you, I lose my chance to take you out. If you lay your hands on my, you get stripped of that IWA Endurance that. Either way, our match at the PPV would be cancelled.
Mr. Smyth turns to the fans.
Mr. Smyth: I’ve had to do a summary there as I know you asinine troglodytes don’t have the intellectual capacity to remember such details.
The fans explode with boos as Smyth looks back at Kyojin.
Mike: Well, whatever fans he had, Smyth has certainly just lost them there.
Rocky: Fickle bastards.
Mr. Smyth: Earlier tonight, Smokey admitted that our match is one of the most important matches on the PPV. I would actually go as far as to say that our match is quite possibly one of the most important matches since IWA first appeared on the scene. Yes, it is egotistical for me to say that, but I don’t think that many people can argue that point.
Anyway, when Smokey said what he said, it got me thinking. What would be the effects if we did go at it and the match got cancelled? The marketing has been hyping it up, the fans are desperate to see it and if it was cancelled, that would take out a considerable chunk of buy-rates for the PPV. In summary, cancelling this match would most certainly not be best for business. In fact, it would be detrimental.
Kyojin cocks his head slightly, as if he is finally interested in what Smyth has to say. The fans are jumping, as they have a sense as to where this is going.
Mr. Smyth: It would take a very brave man to cancel that match. In fact, you would have to be borderline stupid. Now this is a calculated risk, but making calculated risks is something I do on a daily basis and I always have my instincts proven right. So, with that said...
Smyth slaps Kyojin across the face and the fans respond with an “Ooohhhhh.”
Mike: Oh shit...
Rocky: See, I fucking told you! I fucking told you shit was gonna kick off tonight!
Kyojin looks back to Smyth, a small amount of blood coming from his bottom lip. Kyojin looks onto Smyth for another moment before an evil smile crosses his face. Kyojin drops his mic to the floor and slaps Smyth across his face. The fans are showing their excitement as the two men in the ring face off with another.
Mike: We’re gonna need some help out here. This is about to explode.
Rocky: Fuck that. Let them go at it.
There is a moment of pause, but all of a sudden, Mr. Smyth throws the first punch, with Kyojin responding in kind and the fans become unglued. Blows are exchanged between the two:
Smyth
Kyojin
Smyth
Kyojin
Smyth
Kyojin
Smyth tackles Kyojin to the ground and a scuffle between the two ensues. Smokey appears at the top of the ramp in a state of frustration and panic and calls for some officials to the ring. From the back, four referees sprint down the aisle and enter the ring. In this time, Kyojin has rolled Smyth onto his back and starts wailing heavy blows onto his head. The referees drag Kyojin off Smyth, and the crowd explodes with boos, with a “Let them fight!” chant echoing around the arena. Smyth stands up, runs over and takes out one of the referees.
Mike: What the hell?
Rocky: Looks like Mr. Smyth is just lashing out at anything.
Smyth grabs one of the refs that has gotten a hold of Kyojin and launches him out of the ring. Kyojin grabs another ref and lays him out onto the ring floor before kicking him out of the ring. Both Smyth and Kyojin look at the last official, who quickly bails out. The fans explode into a deafening cheer as Smyth and Kyojin stand on opposite sides of the ring, staring each other down.
Rocky: The road is clear now. Let’s get it on!
