TNW:R Presents: iMPACT (6/24/16)

[Chicago Makes Punk]

RANDY ORTON VS. ETHAN CARTER III

 

[The Viper Orton]

Randy Orton sits idle by the curtains, taking in a few breaths. The cue director leans over and notions Randy of the 15 second mark. He begins to prep himself, more mentally than physically as he waited on for his theme to be played.

Tension rises over the crowd, the only thing you can hear now is the sound coming from the few conversations taking place in the sold out arena. Everybody is on their feet, kids are starring with eyes wide open already captivated with the experience. Old wrestling heads are even more excited. The world freezes for about 15 seconds... I Hear Voices In My Head, They talk to me they understand, They talk to me! (Buy "Voices" by Jim Johnston HERE) blasts over the Public Address system. Everyone instantly started yelling, more yells rooted Randy on than opposed him. Randy Orton waited a few moments before bypassing the curtain and stepping onto the stage where he greets 50,000 people with his presence.

The Viper stops at the top of the stage and glares over the crowd, his eyes seem to capture the moment. He slowly starts his trout down from the stamp and onto the ramp, continuing his venomous stare. He walks with a swagger that only he could pull off, it sends chills down the people's spine.

From St. Louis, Missouri, Weighing in at 245 pounds, he is The Viper. . . Randdyy Orrrtonnn!

After hearing his name being addressed, he rotates his head cracking his neck showcasing his this swagger shortly after continue on his path towards the ring. Once he made it to the end of the ramp and slowly turned and walked backwards to the staircase before proceeding up them and going in between the ropes. Once he's inside the ring he takes a second to relax and soak in the moment. Thousands and thousands chanting his name and now he was the center of attention because everyone was able to see him inside the ring. His motions come back to life as the Apex Predator walks his way to the turnbuckle and climbs it. Where he stares out into space before throwing up his legendary taunt. . .



The Viper leaps down from the turnbuckle and staggers back to his corner while his theme fades from the PA. The crowd becomes more vivid. The Viper stands coldy ready to strike his opponent.

 

[Ethan Carter lll]

Can't you believe it? It feels like it's been years, no, no, scratch that .. decades, yes, decades since we've seen the face of Derri- Derric- no, no Ethan Carter III around here. It's like he vanished into thin air, no where to be seen, untraceable. Last time we saw him, he was holding a briefcase that contained his destiny to complete his quest for the cold, hard gold. Though, we've never seen the likes of him again after that triumphant win, but today was the day for a big change as he has now come back to compete with wrestlers alike. This time, however, he came back from bathing in the riches, all of those yacht parties, diamond rings, beautiful exotic woman, all of these factors had sculpted his gimmick, changing himself to a different man, but not completely different as he still had that classic Bateman edge.

The Mantastic One is lacing up his boots in an otherwise empty room, tying off his laces as tight as possible to not only make sure his boots are prepared to kick some arse but to flex his sizable muscles to the "we don't see you" cameras. Putting his hands on his hips, he took a deep breathe as a smirk was formed with his lips, he hit his chest with right arm and raised it up thinking to himself that this time around he was going to change for the better. Frisking himself, he seemed to have a pack of bubble gum lying around, he shrugs, throwing a piece in his mouth before heading out into the backstage hallways.

Oiled up and ready to go, a bunch of familiar faces passed him, eye to eye contact was made occasionally, many staff workers were nice enough to give their hellos "Derrick Bateman? Welcome back, buddy" Ethan shook his head in confusion as these people had referred to him as his old character "What in the San Diego Sharks is going on here? Didn't they get the memo?" in major disbelief, he kept walking with his chin up, he just needs to make a name for himself around here, and a name that isn't Derrick Bateman, but like something better like Ethan Carter III.

In the arena, his music blasted in the speakers and radiated into the ears of many fans. This was it his time to shine! Ethan excitedly pounces to the curtains where he would eventually reveal his back to the thousands of fans that await his presence. When the cameras started to climb up to zoom onto his face, he planted a million dollar smolder on his face as he slowly turned over to make his way down the entrance ramp. During his little stroll, he hyped himself up by pausing to jump up and down before continuing. Carter sidestepped to extend his arm out for a fist bump with one of his fans, while his eyes were locked onto his opponent's. Randy Orton, the known Apex predator, well, after this he's gonna be the hunted, not the huntee.

Don't forget, there's this lovely lady that announces his appearance, and voices his ring stats. Ethan then completes his small journey down the ramp, his legs target the staircase, he made his way over and grips onto the corner pillar to start bumping his chest for the fans, they seem to love it as their reactions boom. Entering the ring, he goes through the second rope, he strolls to his designated corner and stays stationary, both of his arms gripped onto the top rope, as he lunges forward to stretch as a warm-up, his cold, smoke eyes glared at his enemy as he waited for the familiar bells to ring.

 

[The Viper Orton]

Randy Orton, The Viper, The Legend Killer, a 3rd Generation superstar and numerous of other names was now an iMPACT superstar. After the draft had taken place he had found himself an roster full of superstars that he planned on slithering his way to the top, his first victim? Ethan Carter III.

Making his way to the ring, Orton watched on making subtle movements like cracking his neck. The Viper silently waited, as EC3 make his way into the ringa and would finally wrap up his entrance, leaving the two on opposite sides of the ring. Ready to do battle.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

Ethan was prepared for his big debut, spent most of his nights at the gym weeks before, and it showed. The draft only made it easier for him to reach the top. Orton did not intimidate him at all, he looked straight into his eyes to raise both of his arms up, taunting him right off the bat.

 

[The Viper Orton]

The bell sounded, marking the beginning of the iMPACT era, an era that would have Orton's face plastered across it. Orton was searching to make an example out of this upcoming star, knocking him back into his place—the bottom and putting the rest of the roster on notice.

Orton would be beginning the match, by proceeding out his corner with his arms up.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

Ding! Ding! Ding! the bragging rights game would have came to an end when the bells rung. Carter rushed towards Orton to take him down with a quick clothesline, sweeping him off his feet

 

[The Viper Orton]

Randy Orton was caught with the clothesline, being knocked off his feet temporarily before getting back up rather quickly.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

Ethan Carter bounced off of the ropes and came swinging back at Orton with his second consecutive clothesline!

 

[The Viper Orton]

Randy Orton would be caught with a second consecutive clothesline. This time though, it keep it floored as he rolled over onto his fours.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

Carter sprinted to the other set of ropes and rebounded back to leap up into the air and have his leg drop on the neck of Orton putting him on the ground

 

[The Viper Orton]

The Viper would be planted with the leg drop, rolling over to the nearest set of roles. Holding his neck, attempting to relieve the pain.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

EC3 stood amongst Orton and looked down at him from above, he smirked as he raised both of his arms up after getting the capitalization in the beginning of the match

 

[The Viper Orton]

Randy Orton would start transitioning to his feet, a little dazed.  

[Ethan Carter lll]

Ethan wasn't too fond of the wait time, he just picked up Orton by grabbing onto his head himself
