Throughout the history of the sport of professional wrestling, like minded men have banded together. It is a way for a unified force to accomplish goals. A way for each to further his career by utilizing the assets offered by membership in one of these fraternities. Surely no one can forget the early incarnations of 'The Four Horsemen' and the damage they did. Subsequent groups headed by managers, such as 'The Heenan Family' or 'The Dangerous Alliance' gained their own levels of notoriety.There can be no doubt that the old adage "strength in numbers" rings especially true in the world of pro wrestling.
One such group that has recently emerged as a power in FCW, is Legacy. While the group hasn't achieved every goal it has set out to, the latest addition of Intercontinental champion Seifer Blacke has sent shock waves throughout the promotion. Seifer aided Legacy's leader Randy Orton in a brutal attack on Jimmy Gimmick in the main event of Anarchy. Things are still unclear as the smoke from Anarchy begins to settle. It is amidst this backdrop that Randy Orton will explain things tonight. The capacity crowd is in their usually excited mood. Ripe with anticipation.
The lights dim, and silence overtakes the arena, as Legacy's theme "A New Day" by Adelitas Way, begins to play across the PA. Randy Orton walks out onto the ramp, with Cody Rhodes and Evan Bourne posted on either side of him. He sneers hatefully at the booing crowd as the trio make their way down the aisle. Rhodes and Bourne scan their surroundings like secret service agents as they enter the ring. A ringside staff member raises a mic up to the ring, and Rhodes snatches it from his hands. He then proceeds to hand it to Orton. As the music stops, Orton speaks,
"As you can all see, due to recent events, I have heightened security. The fact is, what I have to say tonight is of such importance, that I must not be interrupted. For some time now the world has known of my greatness. From the time I debuted I was referred to as a blue chipper, and the future of this business. I lived up to that by claiming every prize this industry had to offer. I lived up to it by becoming one of the best to ever live. And before I'm done I will be regarded as the greatest of all time. I have done things in this business most can only dream of. I have always done what i said I was going to do, and that is what separates me from the rest."
"There is one aspect of my career that has been consistently overlooked. That is the fact that I am a leader. An organizer. A general, not unlike Cornwallis. I have assembled an army here. I have put together a well oiled machine. Now, while I'll be the first to admit, we have had several setbacks, several disappointments, that all ends now. I will once again be world champion, and Cody Rhodes, and Evan Bourne will become the tag team champions. Cody Rhodes and Evan Bourne have met some bumps in the road, but they are both smart enough to seek advice from me, and I will make them champions. I will make them realize their potential, you can count on it."
Orton whispers something inaudible to Rhodes who answers back and once again scans the arena, looking for trouble makers.
"But the icing on the cake came at this past Anarchy. You see on the latest edition of Anarchy, I exacted a small portion of revenge on Jimmy Gimmick. I gave him a small sample of what I have in store for him. I can assure you Jimmy, the worst is yet to come. But that's not the focus tonight. The focus tonight is on Legacy. The focus tonight is on formally introducing our newest member. A man who will make a fine addition to our group, a proven champion. Seifer Blacke."
Orton points toward the entrance, as "Four Words" by Bullet for my Valentine begins to play. Seifer makes his way to the ring and as he enters Orton concentrates on him continuing,
"Seifer Blacke, the man who has made the kind of impact that hasn't been seen since.....well since me. A man who has went through the competition like a hot knife through butter. A man who knows how to get the job done, just as he did on Anarchy. A man that can be unleashed at the blink of an eye. A man, who with the intelligence he has shown by aligning himself with me, is destined to become world champion. Seifer, you made the right decision. You are already one of the best, now you will be among the elite. You will rise through the ranks, and someday you will stick a knife in my back, and on that day, in a weird way I'll be proud."
"For now, though the objective is clear. We will rule this company with an iron fist. Not a move will be made without Legacy's input. Despite whatever past you may have with Evan Bourne, it is just that, the past. Together gentlemen, we will hold every title in this company. We will accomplish what no mere stable has ever accomplished. We will be kings. Gods among men."
Orton looks around at every member of Legacy. A slight grin appears on his face. A devious grin that is mirrored by every member of Legacy.
"It all starts this week at Anarchy. We will all triumph. The blue chippers Cody Rhodes and Evan Bourne, and the most feared man in this business Seifer Blacke. Then there is me, the rightful champion of the world. I finally go one on one with the man who stole my title. I will face the greatest paper champion of them all. The transitional champion himself, Edge. How I've waited for this moment. How I have looked forward to meeting him in combat. I will truly relish this moment."
"Because you see Edge, even though I didn't walk out of 'Last Resort' with the title, my predictions about you were true. I knew that you weren't worthy of holding that championship. And deep down inside, Edge you knew it too. You knew that you were out of your league competing with the top stars of this company. You knew that I was the better man. And even though I destroyed you in the 'Double Jeopardy' match it wasn't good enough. it wasn't enough because I despise you for stealing a title you had no right competing for."
"So seeing as how you were the number one contender, at least for a few hours, a victory over you will be that much sweeter. Somehow you've managed to convince people you are still relevant. That your title reign was anything but the fluke of the century. So when we meet Edge, I am going to decisively, convincingly, undeniably annihilate you. I will drop you back down to the minor leagues where you belong. You can look up Christian Cage and re-enter the tag team division. I will embarrass you. I will expose you as the fraud you are."
"Legacy must move forward, and there will be victims. You Edge, you will be the biggest. You will be the trophy I hang on the wall. When we meet Edge, it won't be just a match. It is going to be the most devastating loss of your career. One you will never recover from. I don't ever want to see your name on the main event marquee with mine again. You're finished. You are history."
Orton drops the mic, as the Legacy theme plays again. He says a few words to the other members as they leave the ring. The group makes their exit as the scene fades.
