Mike C vs AJ Johnson

[Mr. Mischoff]

You two RP here.

["Classy" Mike C]

Classy Mike C vs. U.S.A.J...

And we're back again. Freedom 1 is already in the history books, now on to the future. And one man who's rather certain about the future certainly made something of a splash last Friday. Who else but Classy Mike C?

Now a lot of USPW fans must be asking themselves "what kind of man costs himself a title on his USPW debut?". These men clearly don't know how headstrong and principled our hero is. And that is where we open.

We join Classy Mike C backstage at the USPW "Ameri-dome"...ghastly name aside, this will be Mike C's home away from home for the foreseeable future. Mike C is in his own personal locker room (it's amazing what you can get when you play hard ball in contract negotiations) and what a room it is...the wall is adorned with images of British cultural icons...Winston Churchill, Arthur Scargill, Morrissey, Joe Strummer, George Best and a certain young chap named The Dynamite Kid to name but a few. There's ample seating, it seems Mike C expects to have plenty of comrades join him, and what seems to be a well stocked bar. As for our hero? Well, he's sat in the middle of it all on a large leather sofa, feet up on the coffee table.

Mike C: America...welcome to my humble dressing room. Please make yourself at home, I think you'll be visiting it plenty over the coming months.

I'm not sure how you can make yourself at home in a room that you're not actually in but, hey, try your best!

Mike C: So...Freedom 1...that was fun. I'm sure there will be plenty of questions; why did you cost yourself a first USPW title Mike? Why did you align with Shawn Starr and The Red Army? Why did you disrespect this country quite so explicitly? And, perhaps, most pertinently...why was Craig David, a man born and raised in Southampton, ENGLAND...a man who hasn't had a hit record in over a decade...singing the American national anthem? Well, I'm sure you'll get an answer on all of those at Freedom 2. I'll certainly give you a few answers...and maybe raise a few more questions to try and help you improve your minds...but all in due course. As for the here and now I want to talk about Freedom 2...or as I like to call it "Groundhog Day"...

I know what you're thinking..."Groundhog Day"? But I'm sure Mike C is going somewhere completely unrelated to small animals or Bill Murray with this.

Mike C: Now before I get down to business on this I want to offer my most humble congratulations to AJ Johnson. Y'know, sure it was because I hit my own team mate, and your good friend Chris Gibson, with a chair...and sure you didn't make the pinfall...and sure I wasn't pinned...but technically history will show that a team containing AJ Johnson beat a team captained by Classy Mike C...so well done AJ. What does that make it? 5-1? Four more wins and I might actually consider you to be a proper wrestler...hell I might even consider you to be a proper man! But AJ, you and I both know that I still have your number just like we both know that "Ragin'" Cajun Flames sounds like a brand of sex toy...and as a quick aside Flameboy...don't pick a fight with me, you clearly weren't paying much attention last week but it seems that I'm kind of a big deal around here and I doubt it will pan out very well for you if you try and take me on...but I digress. AJ, I have consistently and convincingly beaten the snot out of you ever since we first crossed paths. Allow me to recap...

Mike C rummages around in his pocket...calm down ladies, it's not like that...and pulls out a piece of paper...a long piece of paper (again ladies, calm down, it really is a piece of paper)...it seems to be a list...

Mike C: This, ladies and gentlemen, is a list of all the times I've absolutely destroyed...nay, humiliated...AJ Johnson. And first up we have a little match last year for the GWA International Championship. I was the new boy in town, he was the GWA "legend"...and once that match was over and I stood over his defeated body things would never be the same again. Needless to say out of bitterness he got his horrible t.U.e. cronies to attack me but that's neither here nor there. Then there was the GWA Hardcore title. That was a belt that was defended on a 24/7 basis, and as AJ Johnson sucks not just 24 hours a day and 7 days a week but also 365 days a year and 1,000 years a millennium it was rather easy for me to dethrone him. Hell I didn't even want the belt, I gave it to Grilled Cheese moments later, but what can I say I just love beating AJ Johnson...Now there's a few other TV matches in there but the one I really want to talk about is my favourite...it was for the GWA World Heavyweight Championship...

Mike C glances off screen and our camera pans around. On the wall of his dressing room, in a perspex case, Mike C has his old GWA World Heavyweight title belt...a belt he never actually lost don't you know...

Mike C: You know I never actually lost that belt...but how I gained it is quite a story. For months, MONTHS, I was screwed out of that belt more times than an old Louisiana spinster using her "Ragin' Cajun". I was banned from competing for it, I was attacked and undermined by the management, all because I'm not from America! But finally the GWA owners had to bow to fan pressure and I got my rightful chance...it was a fatal four-way match but I knew there was only one man to target...AJ Johnson. And what happened AJ? Do you remember? I grabbed your weedy little legs and I twisted them and tied them up into the Classyleaf. And what did you do? You squealed and sobbed and tapped out like the b*tch I made you! Championship won, AJ Johnson vanquished again. And yet, we're back to square one...

Mike C gets up, he wanders around a little looking wistful (what can I say, anything to break up his long soliloquy)

Mike C: You just don't learn do you AJ? You might have your little 6-man belt but you didn't really earn it and I don't doubt for a second that yourself, Captain Anonymous and Funky Phantom will scratch each others' eyes out within a heartbeat when the chips are down. You might be one of the favourites for the USPW World Title but you know deep down you're not good enough to win it. AJ, I sincerely hope that the deja vu hits you before Friday and you back out of this match. I don't just have your number, I don't just have your card marked...I have your very soul in my pocket. I know how to beat you and beat you is what I will do. You are nothing more than an annoying recurring character in the "Classy Mike C story"...if this was Friends you would be Janice! AJ...good luck on Friday night...I would promise to go easy on you but if I do you just will never learn. You're kind of like America in it's current form...washed up, trading on past glories...on the verge of being vanquished by Classy Mike C and the United Soldiers of Anarchy...I personally can't wait until the day that happens.

Mike C turns and looks off camera. The camera pans around to show a large portrait of Mike C posing almost identically. It then pans out to show both the real Mike C and the portrait Mike C at the same time. What a guy...

[AJ Johnson]

*Scene opens to AJ Johnson holding his half of the six-man tag title. He is standing in the living roon of his home in Atlanta, Georgia. He is dressed in a pair of black Nike pants and a black and green GWA T-Shirt. He begins smiling as he looks up from the belt and begins speaking into the camera.*

AJ:Ohh how sweet this feels. Finally I have reclaimed some gold that I have been missing for a while now. Whether it be a singles belt, or a tag-team belt, a title is a title..

*AJ stands from his couch and walks into a bar like place as he stands behind it and begins speaking again.*

AJ:Ohh what a great celebration I had. Not only did I win a title belt in the main event of the very first PWA show, but I also won my co-main-event match at the very first PWA show but that is for another time..Anyway,This is just another title to add to the collection, along with my GWA World Title, 2 GWA Global Titles, 3 GWA Hardcore Titles, 2 GWA Tag-Team Titles,also my GWA All-Action Title,GWA International Title,EAW Television Title, and my EWA Hardcore Title..Sorry but I wanted to go through all of them.

*AJ then takes out a glass and a bottle of scotch. He pours a glass and takes a sip as he continues to talk.*

AJ:Thankfully I don't have to deal with that team this week..But I do however have to deal with the one man in this business that has had my number time in and time out....

*AJ then grabs his glass and walks from his bar into a room full of championship belts, magazines, and numerous other awards. He walks over a points to a magazine with a cover that reads "AJ dropped again by Mike C!" AJ starts shaking his head as he begins speaking again.*

AJ:Mike C....no matter what it has been, I have not been able to defeat this man. Whether it be for the World Title or the Hardcore Title, never have I defeated this man in a one on one contest. But that will change this friday. You see whether or not you like it, I am on a roll. I have already defeated you not in a singles match, but a match last week in the six man tag. But this is the week Mike, you will finally be defeated by me!

*AJ walks over to his desk and sits.*

AJ:I saw your promo Mike. I was able to see everything that you said. Yes this week Mike it will be Mike C vs. U.S.A.J..

*AJ begins laughing*

AJ:HaHa, Mike I will be representing not only the USPW but also the U.S.A against your non-american ass. You think that you would be a good person to become the very first USPW Heavyweight Champion, but Mike I have you know that I will become the first champion!

*AJ gets up from his desk and walks into the living room area and sits down on his couch.*

AJ:You see Mike I am not denying anything that you said in your little interview. Yes you have beaten me in all singles matches. Yes I have never beaten you one on one. And yes you have taken numerous titles from me. But all of that will begin to change this Friday. Starting with me beating your ass, but then it moves farther than that. For some odd reason I have a strong feeling that yourself and I will be the two competitors will battle it out for the USPW Heavyweight Title.

*AJ rubs his hands through his hair and continues speaking.*

AJ:I am ready Mike, I hope that you are as well. I hope that you will be at your best come Friday. This will be the match of the night. Possibly the match of the year, and no doubt the best match that the USPW has ever seen. I will be at my BEST and I will be ready for some competition. A match between two of the biggest stars that this sport has ever seen. You claim to be the best in the world, and I also claim to be the best in the world. Sometime very soon we will find out actually who is the best in the world. Maybe not Friday, maybe not in a week, but very soon.

*AJ begins laughing at himself again.*

AJ:You see I have basically given up on "The Baller". He has been a no show for a while now and I don't think that he will ever come back but we will see. My focus now is number two on my list and that is you Mike! I hope that you bring the old Cricket Bat that you used to bring to the ring in GWA, because I am going to not only beat you but I will take that bat and break that son of a bitch in half!!!!....

*AJ walks away from the couch. As he is walking away, the camera follows him but he then turns around and says one last thing.*

AJ:Be ready Mike....Because I WILL!

*AJ is smiling at the camera and laughing as the scene then fades to black.*
