Match Three: Blake Anderson versus Jonny Cedrone Blake lost his match to Noah, costing Paul Sinclair his job as CO-GM in the process. Noah decided that there are going to be consequences for doing what he did, and decided to match him up against Cedrone. Cedrone, coming off a loss to Matsuda, is sorta at a crossroads as far as his career in WWH. Can Cedrone make a new path for his future, or does Anderson basically give Noah a middle finger?

Post by Blake Anderson on Jan 22, 2021 15:44:38 GMT -5
The camera is live as a Dystopia cameraman is outside a locker room, the sign on the door reads LEFT HAND. Obviously the cameraman’s hand, but a hand reaches to knock on the door. It opens and in front of the camera view stands the back of a person. There, putting on a Black t-shirt that reads LEFT HAND on the back, the individual turns around and the front of the shirt is the Left Hand symbol. The person wearing the shirt is Blake Anderson. From inside the arena, boos and cheers are heard but Blake motions to the cameraman to “come here” and as he walks forward, the door closes behind him.
As the camera gets closer to Blake, the screen begins to static and a quick replay of earlier in the night is seen.

Coming back to a live shot of Blake, he begins to speak to the camera addressing his opponent, Jonny Cedrone.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON Jonny, tonight is your chance to gain redemption. After your loss of becoming International Champion at Shogun, you now dare to think I’m going to be your rebound win? Here’s a little History lesson for you. I already said that this isn’t the Blake that everyone knew and you’re accustomed to for these last few weeks. No, who you see before is the Blake that once ran brands like Sanatorium and shows in the past that began this company. It was me who management always came to because I was the measuring stick around here. I was given my orders to let this guy pass or tear this one apart. Now I make my own orders and tonight, under nobody’s order, I’m deciding to make my own orders.
Tonight, Jonny, you’re going to understand what it means when I say that I vow to put my body on the line every match. It’s not because I don’t care for myself but it’s to show you and everyone that I’m not playing kid games. The Left Hand doesn’t play games and tonight, you’re just the appetizer to what I really want. Dystopia is my Serengeti and tonight, tonight people might pop for old glimpses of ‘Bad Ass’ Blake Anderson, but the only glimpse that you’ll see is me with my hands covered in your blood and I will sign your name on the mat because every hunter knows what happens to the first kill.
Now I’m not saying you’re not a good fighter. You’ve fought hard since coming to WWH but you have to learn to claw and scratch to get what you want around here. I’ve done it for so long that there’s a blueprint that you have to follow. You come out and say something to get a big pop and everyone is looking for you to follow through with that promise you made. So you’re doing everything for a pop or trying to get over with the crowd. That’s why guys like you and guys like me are different because you care what people think. I joined Left Hand to get people to think. If I can be in the company for so long and go from being the guy that the company hand picks to handle new talent, to being a company guy and taking a dive for whoever they said deserves a chance, to now being the guy that nobody knows what’s going to happen next then what makes you think you’re going to be able do something new that I haven’t seen before?
That’s where me and you are different because this isn’t the old me. The old me would’ve taken what’s said and done what management wants. The new me? Look at me wrong and I’ll break your jaw. So it’s real easy, tonight, I’m walking in with a message to send and you’re the unlucky address. But look on the bright side, you get to look back on this match and tell everyone after tonight that this was the night that you stepped in the ring and got your ass handed to you just because your opponent could.
As for how this match happened, you’re in the same spot I was in. General Manager Noah grew some balls and found some stooge to be put in front of me. So you’re exactly who I was, the gopher. So do his bidding because I’m going to send a message to Noah through you that I’ll take out anyone he put in front of me because that’s not just who I am but that’s what I do. Just sucks for you that he picked you to try to get the job done. But don’t worry, I won’t end this quickly because I’m going to send a message to General Manager Noah Hanson and anyone else he thinks of that he wants to put against me. So with that, don’t think you won’t bleed. Don’t think you won’t have any bones broken. Don’t think that you’re going to walk out of this match the same way you walked in. That is if you walk out of this match at all.
Blake turns away from the camera but turns back as he has something else to say, but raises his Left hand palm towards the camera. Behind his hand, he says…
Tonight, everyone will learn to fear the Left Hand.
The camera feed begins to static as right before it cuts off, the Left Hand symbol appears on the screen. The view then abruptly ends.

**--This scene opens up inside an office room with the camera focused on a huge bookshelf lining the entire wall. The scene then flashes to the window of the office. The scene then flashes to looking out of the window as we see a picturesque view of all of the rolling hills outside. Then the scene flashes to see Jonny Cedrone on his phone with paperwork all over his desk. Cedrone’s dressed in a pair of jeans and a black Affliction t-shirt with a skull design on it and he seems to be in a pretty decent mood.--**
“Yes sir. Sounds good! We’ll have someone there first thing in the morning.”
“Absolutely sir.”
“Eight A.M. That’s right.”
“Sounds good, and if you have any problems at all feel free to give me a call at this number and we’ll take care of the issue right away.”--
“Pleasure has been all mine sir and you have a great day!”
“Thank you sir.”
**--Cedrone hangs up from that phone call but his phone rings immediately. His mood and demeanor seems to do a complete 180.--**
“Yeah.”
“Did you get it?”
“WHAT?! WHY THE HELL NOT??!!”
“Get it done!”
“Whatever you gotta do, get it done!”
**--Cedrone hangs up the phone and goes back to working on his paperwork when there’s a knock the door to his office.--**
“Come in!”
**--Into the room comes Gloria Cedrone. Jonny looks up and sees his beautiful wife, he stops doing what he’s doing, puts down his pen and shoots a smile at her.--**
“Hi baby!”
“Hi!! How ya doing Lovey?”
“I’m good! How about you?”
**--Gloria comes over and sits down in Jonny’s lap and wraps her arms around him.--**
“I’m doing great now!”
**--The two share a kiss before continuing.--**
“Getting your work done?”
**--Jonny glances over at the mess of paperwork on his desk—
“Sure!”
**--Gloria giggles--**
“Looks like it!”
“Haha. Ya know what they say, ‘a messy desk is a sign of a genius.’”
“Then you, my love, are the Albert Einstein of today!”
**--They share another kiss before Gloria hops up off of Cedrone’s lap.--**
“Where ya goin’?!”
“I gotta go get my own work done. Besides, looks like you need to get your work done too.”
**--Jonny gets up and walks up behind Gloria and wraps his arms around her. Gloria responds in kind by putting her head back against his chest and putting her hands on his arms. Cedrone begins kissing her neck.--**
“We can share the office. I won’t bite.”
**--Gloria spins around in his arms and responds with an intimate…--**
“But there’s nothing wrong with a little nibbling.”
**--Jonny and Gloria begin making out….and then the phone rings. They both stop and look at the phone in hopes that maybe if they ignore it, it’ll stop ringing but their hopes are in vein as the phone keeps ringing…until it stops. They look back at each other, grin and go back to making out when…the phone rings. A little frustrated, Jonny picks up the phone…--**
“Yes?!”
“Oh! Yeah, show them in.”
**--Jonny and Gloria look at one another again--**
“The crew’s here to record my promo.”
“We’ll have to pick this back up later.”
“It’s a date!”
**--They kiss one another once again before the scene fades to black. When the scene fades back in, Jonny’s now wearing a long-sleeved button-up shirt that he’s rolled up the sleeves to just under his elbows. He and the crew are hamming it up, talking, joking, laughing when one of the guys started talking to him about his match with Matsuda.--**
“I was watching your match with Matsuda at Shogun. What a great match, man! It’s always great to see either one of you two in the ring, but whenever you two are in the ring together man…it’s magic!”
“Well thank you man! It’s always a pleasure to get in the ring with Ms. Matsuda! She’s a great wrestler with great heart and great dedication to the craft. No question about it.”
“You think the two of you will…”
**--Another guy interrupts to let Cedrone know that everything’s set up and ready to go to record his promo.--**
“You want me to sit at the desk?”
**--The scene fades to black before Cedrone gets any confirmation. When the scene fades back in, we see a relaxed Jonny sitting behind his desk, which has been cleaned off for this shot, leaned back in his chair with his feet propped up and his hands behind the top of his head. The camera slowly zooms in on Cedrone as he begins to speak.--**
“Another big show in the books and another success for the World Wrestling Headquarters. Shogun was a huge night ladies and gentlemen! We have a new World Champion. Havoc retained his Affliction Championship. We have a brand new Shogun Warrior. And while I would love to say that I won back the International Championship…I can’t. I’d be lying to ya.”
**--Jonny drops his hands from behind his head, sees a pen that he was using earlier, and slowly starts to play with it. He takes the pen, lightly taps the tip of the pen on top of his desk, then rotates it end over end and taps the clicker of the pen on top of his desk, repeating the process over and over again. The camera has stopped zooming in on Cedrone as they have him, the desk and the bookshelves behind him, neatly and tightly in the camera shot--**
“Ms. Matsuda put up one helluva fight. I mean, c’mon…who in their right mind thought that she wouldn’t have? If you can show me someone that actually believed that Ms. Matsuda WOULDN’T give it her all, WOULDN’T have done whatever she needed to do to get that win, WOULDN’T have gone to that ring and fight her ass off in order to keep that Championship – I’d show you a damn fool!
**--Jonny stops twirling the pen for one second and looks up into the camera--**
“Ms. Matsuda, from the bottom of my heart – thank you for such a great match. Wrestling you is always an honor and a privilege and I sincerely would love to meet you in the ring again. Now onto the burning question – what’s next for Jonny Cedrone?
Well that’s a damn good question! I have no idea what could be next for Jonny Cedrone! Sometimes we find ourselves to be better off NOT knowing the answer to that question as a lot of times whatever’s next for us comes out of nowhere, from someone you’re not expecting anything from.”
**--Jonny starts twirling the pen again as he continues.--**
“I can’t sit here and tell you what’s next for Jonny Cedrone, not on a long term basis at least, but I CAN tell you that the next step in my career is a match with Blake Anderson.”
**--Jonny lifts the pen and points it right into the camera--**
“Mr. Anderson, we’re not exactly strangers to one another. It’s been just a little over a year since I joined the World Wrestling Headquarters and the first opponent that I ever had was against you in a pre-Dystopia match. You really put me through the ringers if my memory serves me correctly. This is usually where you and I sit here and we talk about how we’ve each changed since then. This is usually the point where you and I compare and contrast where our careers have led us since the last time we met. That’s what would usually happen, but I wanna do something a little different Mr. Anderson. We’re just gonna skip all that.”
**--Jonny takes his feet off of his desk and sits properly behind the desk, leaning forward on it, resting on his elbows with his arms crossed, still looking dead into the camera--**
“We all know that neither one of us walked out of Shogun with the win Mr. Anderson. The two of us are heading into this match…this fight on Dystopia as losers. There’s no shying away from that at all. Should either of us be ashamed of our loss? That’s debatable. I mean, we each lost to fantastic wrestlers with no quit in them. So there’s that. So what does that mean?”
**--Jonny slowly stands up and leans onto his desk, looking deep into your soul--**
“That means that the two of us are pissed off. That means that the two of us cannot and refuse to walk out of Dystopia with yet another loss. That means that…that each of us will do whatever and everything it’s gonna take to get that win and each of us would damn near rather die than to take another loss.”
“So to the fans of the World Wrestling Headquarters, unlike my usual matches, I feel that I need to warn you that this match is not going to be the norm. This match isn’t going to be much of a match at all, to be honest. This is going to be a fight to the finish. To you Mr. Anderson I say this, I respect the fact that you are this badass sonofabitch and you’re hard to kill and have a huge axe to grind because of your loss at Shogun. Trust me. I understand. But what YOU need to understand is that I’m not just some ‘pretty boy’ who’s afraid of pain or afraid to bleed. I’ve been in battles, I’ve been to war, I’ve hurt, I’ve bled, I’ve been there. And honestly if you think that I’ve never been in the ring with someone as badass as you…”
**--Cedrone looks into the camera and raises an eyebrow--**
“If I’ve had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that, I could pay the national debt. I’ve heard it before, and I’ve proved that they’re not as big and bad as they think they are.”
“So Mr. Anderson at Dystopia, you and I will meet in the middle of the ring. We will put each other through hell. We’re angry. We’re out for retribution. We’re out to right the terrible wrongs that befell us on Shogun. There’s only one problem Mr. Anderson. Only one of us can do that. Only one of us can have our hand raised in victory.”
“Notice that I didn’t say that only one of us can walk out the winner. With this war that we’re about to embark on, neither one of us will come out of the battle the same as we entered, so the chances of either one of us actually walking afterwards are slim to none.”
“To wrap all of this up Mr. Anderson, I’m going to say that I’m actually looking forward to going to war with you. A true test for me and a platform to showcase what I’m actually capable of in that ring. With that, I wish you the best of luck sir but when all of the dust settles and the smoke clears…it’s gonna be me who gets his hand raised Mr. Anderson.”
“I’ll see you out there.”
**--The camera zooms in on Cedrone’s determined face as the scene fades to black--** [/color][/center]
