MSW Ring - House Show May 9th 2014 Peyton was alone in the ring, sporting bandaging around his waist from his attack from the Apocalypse. He stepped around the ring, grinning. He looked among the crowd. He was wearing casual clothing, indicating that he was given time off to recover and prepare for his match with one Jaxin. He smiled tenderly as he heard the crowd starting a chant. PEYTON! PEYTON! PEYTON!He hushed them with hand motions. He could not believe, really. He had become a top star here in MSW. There were only a few others who were at his level currently: Bryce Manning, Shawna Martinez, Daniel Smart, and Johnny B.. It was nice to hear, nice to see. He had only been wrestling for five months and here he was. He moved his dark blue t-shirt down; a Scott Pilgrim logo printed on it. A few cheered for it.
Peyton: "At Best of the Best, I did defeat Neforian, but not by the way that I wanted to. While I had him locked in the HLC, the theme of two individuals hit and next thing I know, I was on the ground, partly unconscious. The two culprits call themselves the Apocalypse. They have aligned themselves under Neforian and wish to see me...destroyed. They accuse me of being a liar, shielding you all from a harsh reality...that only they see. Do I...look like a liar to you all?"
Several 'no's came from the audience; Peyton heard a joking 'yes' in there.
Peyton: "I am going to be 'honest' with you all, I used to be quite the bad individual. Back when I was a teenager, I used to wrestle in a backyard circuit. I would bash faces in with steel chairs and almost bathe in blood...and I enjoyed every minute of it. But as I began to make my way to the States, I changed. I could not be this cruel individual, because it is not the way to live. My older brother is like that. He likes to hurt people emotionally, physically, and mentally. He almost gets off it...gross. Seeing him made me want to change. So, I did. I get where those three (Neforian, Dante, and Virgil) are coming from. And I tried to help them the best way I know how. But as you see--"
He showed the battle scars.
Peyton: "They did not react so pleasantly. Anyways, I am not here to complain about my methods not working. They have already fired shots of hostility against me. Now, I have to respond. I am fearless, but not stupid. So, I am out here to open up an offer, a proposal to all in the back. Those two say that I am their first victim, but I can try to be their last. I can only do this if I excise the problem now. And for that, I am going to need help. I need two partners. And Danny Stevenson or Justin Gravitt, if you are listening, please do this for me. If I can get two people to join my cause to defeat those three, make a match...three on three! My team vs. Neforian's team!"
He turned his attention to the entrance ramp.
Peyton: "Will anyone join my fight?"
TBC by anyone who wishes to help Peyton. |

"It's Time" by Imagine Dragons blares over the PA system and Luke Jackson walks out and the fans cheer and he has a smile on his face and he waves to Peyton who is standing in the middle of the ring.
Luke Jackson: Hey Peyton.
I heard what you had to say and you are MSW's Personal Hero. You say that every time you step foot in that ring. But I like you. And I think I could learn a lot from you. Just look at me though and what I did to Matt Ward.
The fans cheer and Luke laughs.
Luke Jackson: So I guess what I'm saying Peyton is that I can help you. Lets take out the evil in MSW.
Luke starts walking down towards the ring. |

All of a suddenYou hear Leo Banks voice over the P.A. System.
"Luke do us all a favor and shutup. No one cares that you'll be joing his team. Everyone's too concerned about what I have to say. I know a lot of the guys in that locker can't stand me but I don't care.Peyton I know we have our differences but these guys are starting I steal the spotlight away from me and I want it back."
He walks down the ramp and slides into the ring."

He walks down the ramp and slides into the ring." Peyton was about to respond to Luke's message before Leo Banks rudely interrupted. Peyton: "Okay, Banks, let me tell you something that you need to hear? Come close that you really hear this?" Peyton walked forward a couple of steps to get close to him. Peyton: "You can't have something that you never had." OOOOH!Peyton: "Luke, you are welcome to join me in my fight, but firstly, mister Banks...you're going to have to prove yourself against me. Luke has won against the bane of his existence, Matt Ward, but you lost with Chad Vargas at your side. So, we can see if Mr. Gravitt is willing to let these fans watch you test yourself against me." |

"What do I care if life ain't fair? If you look at me real sore? I've paid my dues and you should too, It's a son of a bitch to the core!"Which is - and I hate to start a sentence this way - but the clarion call of the Johnimant Species, one Johnny B.! "Son of a Bitch to the Core" by Headstones continues to play as he storms to ring with a shinai in hands, swinging it at Leo Banks to ensure he gets out of his way and doesn't try to attack him from behind. The reckless insane way he's barrelling towards the ring is enough for any reasonable man to assume he was gunning for either Luke or Peyton... but then you'd be an ignorant f*** who doesn't pay attention to the goings-on in the life of the Johnny, and who needs you anyway?!
He slides into the ring, and shows the utmost of respect by not snatching the mic out of Peyton's hands, but rather holds out his hand exaggeratedly and looks at him expectantly. Assuming Peyton relinquishes control of the mic to JBC, he speaks now. If he doesn't, then he yells the following out really loudly.
Johnny B.: "Luke! uh, Jackson, is it?, there woulda been a time where you coming out before me woulda put my nose outta joint, and as a direct result, yours too, but... you know... I guess we're all good guys here, so..."
And without even looking at him, he points right out of the ring and at Leo.
Johnny B.: "And Banks! Why don't you do the world a favour and..."
The Johnny pauses, appearing to be deep in thought. It's clear that the cogs in his head are working overtime. Suddenly, a shit-eating grin appears on his face.
Johnny B.: "...Join in?"
Which of course causes a lot of murmurous commotion as the fans and whoever else tries to deduce what in the world Johnny could be saying.
Johnny B.: "Okay, so, you're apparently this big deal, right? Never miiiind the fact that The Johnny was the one to put you away all personal-like at Bee Oh Tee Bee... But if you really wanna do something to stand out, to shock the world, why don't you just... join Peyton Von Licht and use your evil for good for once?"
He's so absorbed in this "genius" brainstorm of his that he actually awaits a response, forgetting that he was coming out to do exactly what Luke already had done. |

Peyton looked stunned by the appearance of Johnny B.. He was even more stunned by his words. He took the mic (that he gave to Bonecrusher) slowly.
Peyton: "Um, JBC, are you here to aid me or aid me getting...Banks to join our cause?"
He held the mic, because he knew that Johnny would take it soon anyways.

Johnny hadn't taken his eyes off Peyton, nor stopped pointing at Banks. He takes the mic back and responds.
Johnny B.: "Leeeet me make one thing perfectly clear!"
The fans are in an uproar: they almost thought The Johnny would have forgotten to say his patented catch-phrase!
Johnny B.: "The Johnny's all about big ideas, Von Licht! He's always thinking! Why, sometimes I'm so smart, I even scare myself! But sir, don't play coy with me; you know I know you read my first edition of The Boneyard, found exclusively at MSW.com, right now!"
He gives an elated look to the fans, but the sincerity of his expression is dubious.
Johnny B.: "My beef's with The Apocalypse though. They come strolling into MSW the way they did, and they're all up on your jock... still! Those motherf***s dissed Yugo Phailous and myself the last time they were seen, and my disdain for them's done been raised to Threat Level Red, son! So, we've got a common enemy. So, The Johnny wants to turn out a motherf***er!"
But the one thing he's neglected to say just yet, the thing that the fans are hoping, begging, pleading him to say...
Johnny B.: "So I guess that means that, for lack of a better term... that yes, JBC is down!"
And finally, the fans' IQs drop and they begin frenzying in pure uncontested ecstasy.
But where does this leave everyone else? Jackson? Banks? Phailous? Neforian? The Apocalypse?

J-B-C! J-B-C! J-B-C!
Peyton looked on the magnitude of fans, chanting Bonecrusher's moniker. Peyton nodded; he knew he could draw Johnny out there with this. The man was prideful to a fault and insulting his friend (even if he did not admit that he was) was treading near the lion's den. He took the mic back and allowed the crowd to settle down on their own.
Peyton: "Calm down, folks. Calm it doooown. I can say one thing...it is official! I have my team! I have Johnny B., Luke Jackson, and possibly Leo Banks on my side against Neforian and the Apocalypse!"
The crowd erupted to the sound of this team-up. The crowd had been treated tonight. It is a rarity that you get many of the top superstars in MSW in the same ring together. All that was needed was for Daniel Smart to make his way down here, along with the war-torn Frank Washington. But alas, that might happen some other day.
Peyton gazed at the big man with a grin and stuck out his hand.
Peyton: "Shake on it to make it official?" |

Everyone's seen enough wrestling from back in the day to know that Johnny will look at the fans for approval, giving that sort of unsure/confused-ish look all the while. He'll drag it out for a bit as the fans urge him with all their might to shake Peyton's hand. This is very much unlike The Johnny of once upon a time, who was a rat bastard, an insidious villain, and a vile monster. Time has a way of turning even the scum of the Earth to the salt of the Earth. Now, while that may not necessarily be the case with The Pre-Millennium Wrestler - after all, he is, as his new theme music claims a "Son of a Bitch to the Core" - he's accepted the fans at last, under the condition that he be free to just be himself and say and do as he pleases, which they're totes coo with.
And on that note...
The Johnny slowly holds out his hand, and merges it with Peyton's in a firm grip that causes the audience to roar so intensely that even The Johnny's words can't be heard. He's surely, however, saying something quite wrestler-y. You know, you always see, well, again, back in the day at least, wrestlers doing that: they're clearly talking to the other guy, but you're always left wondering what they said. Either way, it's clear that it was a pretty good conversation.
This, of course, still leaves the unresolved issue with the wildcard in all of this: one Leo Banks. Would he actually take on the challenge put forward by Peyton... or the idea manifested within the unorthodox mind of The Johnimant Species?

Leo banks step forward and begins to scan the arena. The crowds commotion dies down as he pulls his mic to his mouth and steps face to face with Peyton.
"So if I want to join your team then I have to beat you in a match? I have to prove myself worthy? If anyone here knows me they know that I cater to no one. They know that I hate ifs ands and buts. They know that I hate you. But they know that I'm willing to do anything ANYTHING to be in the spotlight. So when these guys step into the company acting like how they have, it pisses me off. So....."
He pulls the microphone down and scans the crowd once more then looks back at Peyton.
"You've got a deal. If you still want it?"
He sticks his hand out and the crowd seems to have mixed feelings about this.
