METHODS OF MADNESS: So yeah, this isn't going to be super long or anything, considering it's only having to do with one thing, and I think it's pretty obvious as to what that is. If you don't believe so, then just read it and find out. This is something else that I've been itching to do, so yeah, that's pretty much it. :] It was known throughout the Bytches Ultimate Domain, hell, maybe even throughout the MSN circuit that Zarek Lyle was attempting to make a comeback. He still held onto the BUDvision number one contendership, but he was making a so called comeback of morals. Every knew he had been sleeping, it's old news, over and done with. When Jessica Michaels made her return, it was only natural for Zarek to accept her open challenge, in hopes of defeating her and becoming that much closer to the title that he once held dear. In his mind, he would have to work his way back up through the ranks, and earn the respect back that he had lost monthes ago. It would start with Jessica Michaels, and work it's way through the BUD roster, hopefully gaining more prestigious wins as he trailed along. Jessica was a tough competitor, and she clawed for that win just as much as much as Zarek did, but when he executed that Death of a Hero, he knew it was over. He had triumphed over the first hurdle, and there were only two more to go until Rage and Retribution where he planned on taking back his title. But the only question was, who would be the next two victims? The only reason Zarek had originally begun watching Drew Stevenson's promo, was because he was addressing his trainer, Dante Cross, so it obviously drew Zarek's attention. He never thought in a million years Drew would mention his name, so there was no reason to pay close attention before, until now. Drew didn't recieve Dante Cross...at first anyway, but rather, Zarek Lyle himself, with a challenge for the two to lock up in the ring for the first time ever. Zarek had once made known that he fully respected the man Drew Stevenson and would one day like to meet him in the ring, that day would come in the following days. It didn't take long for Drew to think on the offer, he didn't have a match anyway, and having a showdown with the former BUDvision Champion surely sounded like a fun time, why not. It was to be a battle not driven by anger for once, but a battle driven by respect, and would definitely launch Zarek back onto the map even more, wether he won or lost. That match is yet to happen, but Zarek has always looked towards the future, as in, what's going to happen at next Hangover, who will be his next 'victim' to say? Well, it's really quite simple, if you just pause to think about it. Another individual that Zarek has never been able to see in the ring one-on-one in the past couple of monthes, due to restrictions and the fact that this man left. Sounds like the same circumstances as Drew Stevenson, right? Zarek wanted to face Drew out of respect, but didn't have the chance the first time cause he left, but as you'll see, that is hardly the case with this man. After Zarek Lyle had laid out his challenge to Drew, and Drew had accepted, there had been a chain of events following. First, a strange narration deal had happened, Dante Cross had given stipulations to this so called partnership between the two, and of course, another man had come out with a proposition of his own. Dante Cross had laid out the stipulation that if Drew wanted to be his tag team partner then he would have to wait until Dante was able to finish his goal. He vowed to take back his World Heavyweight Championship, and then he would relieve Nova of his tag team gold as well, it's as simple as that. In the mean time, Dante gave Drew the decision to go after Evan, and take the Franchise Championship off of his shoulder. Then came along another proposal from a man that everyone knows. He told Drew that if he didn't want to wait for Dante to finish what he had to do in the World Heavyweight Championship, then Drew should team up with him. The duo would make a run for the gold together, instead of Drew teaming with Dante. After hearing everything that was going on, Drew graciously accepted. Now, it's been said many times that Zarek respects Drew as a person, but what he doesn't respect is his choice in tag team partners. Then again, Dark Child and Zarek never got along much, anyway. The arena is filed with fans, chanting for their favorite superstar. Hangover has gone to a short commerical break when suddenly "It's Me Bitches" by Swizz Beatz hits at a low tone, and Zarek appears at the top of the ramp. He's already in his wrestling attire for his match later that night, and he saves the upbeat attitude for his enterance later on. Instead of running to the ring, he stays on the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand. "You know, it's quite funny the way things turn out. It's exactly what we expected though, isn't it though? It was believable to think that Dark Child anounced his retirement, in order to get sympathy from management, so he could win the belt for a second time. Didn't some of the contenders in the match even state that management told them to throw the match so DC can have his fairy tale ending, and go out as champion? I don't know the story, I wasn't in the match, so I don't know what happened, but we all know there was some controversy. DC paraded around for over a month with that championship, promoting himself as BUD's World Heavyweight Champion, yet he was suppose to be retired after the match. Funny, right? So it's only natural that people start to wonder." "But oh yes, that's right, after DC's represenitive was announced, Stephanie kicked him out, didn't she? Wait, I don't want to say kicked out because I know there was probably more too it. He was actually retired, blah blah blah, but essentially that's what happened, she pretty much said you're retired, act like it, and leave. So we got rid of DC for awhile, and the controversy of BUDmania, whatever the hell it was, settled down and we were able to go on with our lives. Nova ended up winning the title match, but who thought he wouldn't? Nikki and Matlock pretty much handed him the damn title. Matlock was going on LOA after Vendetta, Nikki and Nova were probably incohoots from way back then, so of course he walked away with the damn belt." "So here we are, a few days over a month since DC was kicked out, oh I'm sorry, since DC fully retired and left the company. A month without DC, was obviously too short, because who do we see strolling into BUD once again? Yeah, DC. What the hell is he doing back? Oh yeah, he made up some excuse about coming back for his girlfriend, what's her name again JJ? Where the hell is she again? I've only been here for a certain amount of monthes, but I have honestly never seen her running around BUD. Oh yeah, doesn't she reside in PWT? So why in the bloody hell are you back over in these parts? I don't know, maybe I heard your promo wrong, I was too busy asking myself why the hell you were back." "Anyway, I'm not here to poke fun at you, make some random jokes about retirement and whatnot, because I have a match coming up, with your new tag team partner actually, so I'm only addressing you for one reason, and that's to make you my last challenger. I still hold a tag team win over you, and no matter what you say I know you're still a tinsy bit bitter about Jade. I know you've never really liked me, and we've never gotten along, but I'll be the first to tell you that that's not my fortay. I can get along with people that I respect, and I'm sure I've told you many of times, that I don't hold any respect for you. Let me just say one thing, don't come out here and try to pull the old 'you're not in my league' line because with your actions, and with our very short history, we know that's not true. Don't want to accept it, then fine, but don't get me a puss out answer." Zarek puts the microphone at his side and waits for a possible answer.
