ICW comes back from a commercial break to find the ICW Asylum filled with the talk of the fans. The ring is surrounded by a large cage. As the fans continue to murmur over what the cage is there for, the murmur is broken as Sexy Boy begins to blare throughout the arena. The ICW fans are going nuts in anticipation for Shawn to come out. A few moments pass, then Shawn walks out from the back with the Universal Title on his shoulder. Shawn stops at the top of the ramp and grins. Shawn walks down the ramp, moving to his music as he stops halfway down the ramp. Shawn drops to his knees and raises his Universal Title high above him as pyro�s shoot of vertically behind him. Shawn gets back to his feet and places the title on his shoulder again. Shawn continues down the ramp, but he doesn�t enter the cage. He walks around the ring and grabs a mic. Shawn turns and heads back to the door of the cage and enters. He walks to the center and looks around for a moment. Shawn �The Heartbreak Kid� Michaels It seems I have yet another date with destiny. See, ever since becoming the Universal Champion, road blocks in my life have been set forth before me. First it was Randy Orton in the First Blood Match, then HHH in buried alive, now its Kamikaze in a Cage match. Untouchable wants a title shot, and then finally, and most likely one of the biggest road blocks I have come a crossed yet, is Eddie Guerrero at Genocide in a Triple Cage match. I have news for people, you keep putting challenges in front of me. I am the best there is. I have over come everyone of them and I will over come the ones that have yet to pass. See, I won�t be stopped, I wasn�t stopped by Orton, HHH, and I won�t be stopped by Kamikaze or Untouchable or even Eddie Guerrero. I am the best and I hang with the best. The best in the business is 9th Circle. Some people may claim we hold the titles because we are buddies with Smokey, but you need to realize, we don�t hold the titles because we are friends with Smokey, we hold them because we do what we do the best. That is why Bones is the World Champ, I am the Universal Champ, Tajiri is the TV champ, and Johnny Mo is the X Champ. See people, you say stuff like that because your to afraid to come out and try to prove us wrong. There are a few people who actually had the balls to try it. HHH tried to against me, Jeff Hardy tried to against Bones, Eddie and Matt tried to against Tajiri, but in the end, we proved we were the best when we kicked all of there asses. This upcoming Friday, I prove I am one of the best there is when I go against Kamikaze. Kamikaze is another who had the balls to come out and accept my challenge. I have respect for him. But Friday, respect won�t stop the beating of a life time he will receive. See Kamikaze, I may have respect for you, but I have a commitment to make. I promised Eddie a match at Genocide, he wants it, he will get the shot. So Kamikaze, you will not be beating me Friday. See, I haven�t come this far, lasted this long, to be taken out by you. You are just another challenge along my road of successfulness. See I come out here claiming to be the best, because prove that I am the best night in and night out. You know the old saying, there are people who can talk the talk but can�t walk the walk. Kamikaze, you are looking at someone who can do that and more. Kamikaze, you and I go one on one for the first time in a brutal match. A match that has a history of blood shed, of careers beginning and ending. This Friday, we face off in a cage. There is no escape. The only way to win is by pinfall, submission, climbing the cage wall, or exiting through the door, but Kamikaze, I�ve watched you. I�ve watched your matches. I know you don�t take the easy way out, and you know I don�t either. I know you won�t just walk through the door. Our match Friday, will be one to remember. You�ve accomplished a lot in your career Kamikaze, but I am afraid, that is coming to an end. See, my man, it is coming soon. There is only 4 days left then we go one on one. Kamikaze, its been nice watching you wrestle, but once I get done with you, you won�t even be able to walk into this arena. I will embarrass you and humiliate you. You think� As Shawn goes to finish the sentence, Lie, Cheat, and Steal begins to play as Eddie runs out from the back. Eddie runs down the ramp and climbs into the cage. Shawn and Eddie go at it, until Eddie slams Shawn shoulder first into the cage. Eddie grabs the universal title and nails Shawn hard across the face with it. Eddie grabs Shawn and whips him into the turnbuckle. Eddie walks over and lifts Shawn up high. Eddie takes a few steps back then runs and nails a hard shoulder tackle sending Shawn into the cage. Eddie grabs Shawn and goes for a suplex, but Shawn counters into a neck breaker. Shawn stands as Eddie grabs the title. Eddie goes to nail Shawn with the belt, but Shawn ducks and turns. Shawn nails the Sweet Chin Music sending the belt into Eddies face. Both Shawn and Eddie are down. The fans are chanting for both Eddie and Shawn. Eddie begins to slowly rise and grabs Shawn. As Eddie regains some of his strength, he nails three suplexs on Shawn then begins to climb the cage. Eddie reaches the top and looks at Shawn, who is down in the middle of the ring. Eddie signals for it! Eddie nails the Frog Splash off the top of the cage onto Shawn. Eddie lifts the Universal Title and then looks at Shawn. He lays it over Shawn as Lie, Cheat, and Steal begins to play. Eddie climbs out of the cage and walks up the ramp. He stops at the top and looks at the fallen, bloody Shawn in the ring. Eddie grins as ICW cuts to a break. |
