The scene opens in the buzzing and packed POW arena with the song "Fly Like An Eagle" by The Game blaring over the PA system and making the majority of the fans in the arena cheer and chant for the name of Eagles and only leaves a small handful not cheering but instead booing, likely those who still don't believe this new found love for the people that Eagles has more then once shown and then stabbed everyone in the back with. But even so, most are happy to see the return of a superstar of his caliber and more so happy to see one who took out an asshole like Holmes after he beat Fan Favorite FDCM at Legendaria.
As the song begins to pick up the curtains part and the cheers grow louder as Josh hobbles onto the stage, still favoring his right leg, but not nearly as bad as he was last week. Josh is still wearing his old school "Legend Returns" T-Shirt and is wearing a pair of faded black jeans and his hair, now streaked with red, blue, and green is dangling wildly in his face.
He looks around at the crowd and that same joyous smile seen from the night before returns as he throws his hands into the air and begins to make his way down the ramp to the ring. On the way he slaps hands with some fans and even so much as hugs a few of the ladies and ruffle the hair of some of the younger audience members. Finally he slides under the bottom rope and raises his hands again as he gets to his feet. Then he goes to the ropes and requests a mic and waits silently with a smile on his face till the noise dies down.
"Last night I came out in front of a packed crowd at the biggest event in POW history and I had to choke back tears!!! Not because I was welcomed back with open arms into this buissness after many of the horrible things I have said and done, but instead because I was at the biggest stage of them all and I could not compete in this ring, I could not steal the show, I could not put on a match that the world would never forget and it hurt more then you could ever imagine!!
But I sucked back my tears, I kept my pride and I made a promise! I promised that I had big plans, that I would make an impact and I did just that!!! I took that bastard who put me out and I showed him what the meaning of pain was as I drove that steel chair into his knee over and over and over again!!!!!"
The crowd goes crazy as they remember the assault Josh delivered to Holmes after he won the World Title at Legendaria!
"For weeks I had to sit around and watch as he paraded around the POW with those two goons as if he were some big shot and then, by some miracle of nature he managed to go and beat the LEGEND Flying Diamond Cutter Man and disgrace this company by becoming the new World Champion. Well Holmes I got news for you, I am back and I am not scared of you or your goons! In my eyes you are a coward, a paper champion and nothing more and I don't care if it is you or you and a freaking army, when I get my match with you and don't think I won't Holmes I am going to teach you what it is like to feel pain and the true meaning of the world CHAMPION will be ringing in your head when I hold that POW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP above my head!!!"
The crowd again begins to cheer at the thought of Josh Eagles being crowned the new POW World Heavyweight Champion and Josh swells up his chest in pride!
"Now I wish I could spend all night dreaming about becoming champion and going onto you about how much of a scum bag Holmes is but that is for the future and this week I have my return match and it is against someone I respect far too much to disrespect by ignoring him and talking about what I am planning for our new "World Champion", this week I return in the ring in the Main Event to face the POW Eastern Heavyweight Champion... John Anthony!!!"
The crowd again goes ballistic at thinking of one of the POW's many dream matches coming to life in front of their eyes!
"What can I say other then I am honored and yes for the first time in my long career a little bit scared to return to the ring next week. How can I not be honored to return to the ring and in my return match be facing the Eastern Heavyweight Champion in the MAIN EVENT... cause I feel a tingle of pride growing deep down when I think of it! But I know, I am not stupid and I can't even pretend that my knee is close to 100%, that my knee doesn't have a big fat target on it!!
Don't get me wrong you will see me in this match and I won't back down but I would be a stupid man to think that this will not be one of the biggest challenges in my career!!! Hell John Anthony is one of the top competitors not only in the POW but in the buissness today and even the best of us have been put down by him when they were at 100%!! To have to fight him at less then that is nothing but scary, but that just drives me on, to me it just shows my will and how badly I want to be here for each and everyone of you fans!!!!
But with all of this in mind I need to address John Anthony for a moment... yes I am not at 100%, my right knee is crippled and I know just as well as the next person you are totally aware of this, but don't take me lightly!!! If you walk out and think I will be nothing but a jobber match to you then you will find yourself tapping out quicker then Holmes gets off in the bedroom! I respect you John and I would ask for you to give me that same respect and if you won't give it to me show these fans that respect, they deserve to see John Anthony and Josh Eagles give it the best they can, because they put the money in our pockets and the clothes on our damn backs!!!"
Again the crowd goes crazy, with even more cheers for Josh, they are gaining respect for him by the second.
"I may be injured but I am still one crazy ass in the words of the great one MUTTER FUTTER, so I will bring my all and I can make one promise... you won't even be able to tell that I am hurt! I am on the war path and I am gunning for the World Championship and revenge, pure cold hard revenge against Holmes and I have something to prove. Now we all know Anthony that you have proven yourself to everyone, but I am going to make you prove yourself again, I am going to make you show what you are made of cause I am going to use you to take me to my absolute limits and you are going to have to push me past them if you want to beat me!!
I have worked my ass off my whole life to get where I am and I am not going to go down without a fight, this week the better man will win and it will be one of us John it will be whoever has more will power cause man this match is going to blow the damn joint apart! You and me Anthony me are going to rock this place right to the ground so ya better bring your A-Game!!"
The crowd cheers again and Josh stops talking to allow the cheers to soak in, then raises the mic back to his lips agian.
"Now before I take off I do want to address Holmes himself again! I want to start off by saying it would be the biggest mistake of your life if you even think about trying to retaliate on me this week, I don't care if you got two goons walks around with you, I ain't stupid I have been in this game for a long time and I carry my own protection if you want to try!!"
Josh pauses and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a metal chain and wraps it around his wrist!
"Trust me you don't want to feel a punch when I start a throwing with this!! So I beg you to think before you act! Now aside from that I know that nothing has been made official but it is like I said, Holmes to me you are a paper champion and nothing more and I am going to work my ass off to make sure that when I get in that ring with you, hopefully at Reckless Abandon that your POW World Title is going to be on the line and then if I can't take your health I am going to take your title!! Just watch my match this week cause I promise you, you are going to need all the f**king help you can get boy, Josh Eagles is going to take your ass to school!"
The crowd goes wild again as Josh drops the mic and "Fly Like An Eagle" begins to play yet again and he makes his way back up the ramp.
