UWF iMPACT: 10/11/13: Johnny Gargano vs Bobby Fish
OOC: I apologize if isn't the greatest. Wanted to see if I could pull this off going first and it was much harder than I expected. Trust me, this gets better as it goes.

'The Antidote' by Story of the Year begins playing over the speaker system as the crowd seems rather bored, not sure who is coming out and many not really caring. After a few moments, a figure steps out from behind the curtains in the same baby blue hoodie from last week, 'The Bee's Knees' on one arm and 'The Cat's Pajamas' on the other, his hood on his head and his head down. As he raises his head, he turns around, taking in the massive arena, the crowd, and the lighting, showing that he has 'The Whole Shebang' written across his back, before he looks at the crowd and takes his hood off. Smiling into the crowd, he grabs the zipper on his hoodie and begins to unzip, but stops halfway as if he had a second thought. However, he shake his head as he quickly unzips his hoodie to reveal he already has a championship around his waist, which he points to while shouting 'SHEBANG!', the camera gets a close up to show the words 'Johnny Gargano' written on the nameplate. Gargano smiles a bit more, confident in himself as he begins to walk down the ramp like he doesn't have a care in the world and this can be seen when he takes his hoodie off and randomly tosses it in the crowd. Nearing the bottom of the ramp, he hops on the apron and climbs in the ring and motions for a mic which is promptly tossed to him.
Johnny Gargano
FINALLY! JOHNNY GARGNO HAS DEBUTED ON iMPA. . .
Before he finishes, he pauses as if something is wrong. After a few frozen moments, he shakes his head and mumbles 'No, that's not my gimmick' to himself before looking out into the crowd and smiling.
Johnny Gargano
One of the universal 'lucky numbers' in the world is the number seven. Whether it be seven bright stars in the sky, seven fish in a pond, or seven people surrounding you. Well, tonight we introduce another seven. Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Gargano, would like to personally welcome you to the SEVENTH EPISODE OF IMPACT WRESTLING!
The crowd around him cheers, taking notice of the cheap pop. Gargano smiles as if he is happy with himself before continuing.
Johnny Gargano
Now, this seventh episode marks a glorious day. You see, not only is this my official debut in iMPACT Wrestling, but just this morning I was called up by the brilliant mind running iMPACT Wrestling, Jimmy Perks, and I was told that 'The Whole Shebang' is going to be placed into a Money in the Bank match at Halloween Havok. So, my debut is as followed: I begin my journey to rid the company of its popular disease; I get to participate in a match that gives you a 'once in a life time' opportunity; and I get to participate in a pay-per-view just weeks after beginning my journey. But, not only that . . . not only that . . . two days later I will have held this championship for SEVEN HUNDRED days EXACTLY.
Gargano walks around a bit, rubbing the title as a few crowd members cheer.
Johnny Gargano
The things I have done for this championship . . . is phenomenal. I've had 17 successful title defenses. I'm going to look at my match tonight against Brian Fairburn as just another title defense, and in doing so I know for a fact that I will walk out victorious. You see, I've defended this championship against independent guys who ooze talent. I defeated Ripley, I defeated Akuma Godzilla, Brandon Krane, Samurai Da Soul, Jim Darren, and even my best friend Chip Tanner . . . all on multiple occasions. What you all are looking at . . . is nothing more than the perfect selection for iMPACT Wrestling. Not only does Mr. Perkins get my talent and my ability at his disposal, but he also gets to have this prestigious champion and his prestigious championship on his show.
Gargano looks around the crowd before speaking with a bit more intensity.
Johnny Gargano
Getting this title . . . and keeping this title . . . is much more work than any here can ever hope to accomplish. Here, people do it because its on the 'What's Hot?' list and having it suddenly makes them 'cool'. But this title, the Open the Freedom Gate Championship, is exactly what it's name means. By holding this, someone is able to open their own gate that allows them to be exposed to the big leagues, like UWF. That's why I am here. I won this title using my grit, my determination, and by putting my body on the line to do whatever it is I had to do to get it so I could open my OWN gate to freedom . . . and my own gate to the big leagues. I broke the bones of various wrestlers so they couldn't kick out. I placed people through any item laying around that could stall them from beating a ten count. I locked legends in submission and forced them to tap out all so I could retain this. Like I said, I'm going to look at tonight's match as a championship match just to prove to you, to Mr. Pratt, and to all the doubters that not only am I 'The Whole Shebang' and will do what it takes to win, but it will also prove that I am really here to shut close the jaws of those who walk around with open mouths but not open hearts.
As Gargano stares into the crowd intensely, a crowd who isn't sure whether they should be cheering or boo'ing and is doing a little of both, the opponent for Johnny Gargano has his theme song hit the speakers.
