Can Kevin Bishop defend in his first Title defense, or will the King of the Deathmatch competitor take home the belt?

I've been milling it over for a long time and there has been a side to The Plague that I haven't truly revealed... Sure I speak of my past sometimes but I've never truly spoke from the heart about it... So I'd like to take this time to let the entire WCF Galaxy and my WCF peers get to know a bit more about the man that some call a friend and that some may in fact call an enemy...
I once had a loving family... Sure my dad drank a little too much some times, but he did the dad things that counted the most when I was growing up... He helped me learn to ride a bike even if I fell off, he helped me learn to be competitive even when I thought I was out matched, he taught me to defend myself against bullies who were twice the size of me, and he showed me what it meant to stand for something even when I couldn't see what it was going to lead to... The morals he instilled me, helped me survive the streets at first... You see my parents were taken from me when I was 10 years old... Before you jump to conclusions, no I'm not Batman... Lol Stephen liked that one... My parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time and they were ran down by a drunk driver... Yeah, I know I mentioned my father was drunk, how fucking ironic, right?
I don't want to forget the man he was and I don't want to forget the great things my mother did for me either... She was a lovely woman, a beautiful woman in fact with a warm soul, who always knew the right thing to say. Some would say, I get my silver tongue from her, but she also had an angelic singing voice. Man, the verses she'd sing to calm me down to sleep at night, was as close to a sirens song as I have ever heard... She's the one who told me the tales of Odysseus and Bart's Iliad... The feats of the great Hercules and the heroics of Achilles... She loved history and the mythology that came with it... She taught me that we can learn so much from the past and through these great stories, I could learn to aim for the stars just like them... It helped me believe of my own inner strength and the drive to motivate myself to do things unimaginable... How else could a boy survive at the age of 10 on the streets of New York City?
I use to dodge the cops and anyone else who felt sorry for me... Those who wanted to put me in the system and control me... I was a fighter though and I had a drive that wouldn't quit... My parents were taken from me and I took everything they ever taught me into what made me the man I am today... I fought and clawed my way through a hellish life and it wasn't until a man by the name of Darren Knight saved me from a life wasted... He gave me purpose... He introduced me to the world of wrestling and when you put a mask on a 15 year old, it concealed my age from the other competitors... I wrestled as Plague Jr. under the tutelage of Darren and he showed me the ropes that made me the contender that I am today... No Rocky moments here, but I definitely took my beatings and paid my dues... Darren told me to get out of New York and to travel the world... He wanted me to escape the confines of the typical "territories" that were left over from the wrestling company up north... He told me that if I traveled the world, that I'd become well rounded and I'd hone my craft to the point that wrestling organizations would pay big dollar for me... But once I got that first hit from competing in the ring... I knew it wasn't going to be the money that made me do this... It only needed to be the thrill of hitting those ropes and chain wrestling with the best of them...
Young and dumb was thrown around a lot as I made my way through the territories... This kid is all heart, but damn he's going to kill himself out there... Promoters saw me put on the mask and become a whole other person in that ring... Come on, they didn't want to take a chance on some 15 or 16 year old kid... But Darren would talk them into it every time... They got their moneys worth and they noticed their fans fed into my ring charisma... That IT factor that I brought to my matches caused people to gravitate to me... It didn't take long after that for other promoters to ask for me to compete... I did for years before I went to Mexico, then Canada, then Germany, Australia, and Japan... Darren Knight helped me every step of the way and I owe me dearly for it... Every place we went he gained some kind of crazy influence... And every time I describe how well he spoke to these people to Stephen, he claims the guy sounded like a Jedi... So Jedi mind tricks aside... Darren Knight was a man of his word and that stuck with me just like the life lessons my parents taught me... I stand by my word and I don't put forth effort if it's not going to be for something...
You don't just make your rounds around the world to just come back and be some kind of follower... I stand tall and I stand strong for a cause that I whole heartedly believe in. Darren Knight fell to his own vices, even though his ghost seems to be following my every step... I know, he too believed in me and he wanted me to be the best that I could possibly be... I still fight and claw my way through this life, no matter what persona I place in front of you all... But it's all about what I accomplish for the sake of my Brotherhood that matters most... I stand for something just like my father wanted me too and I aim to become a great warrior just as my mother wished me to be... It's through the path that Darren Knight put me on as The Plague, that I'll place my name in the stars next to the Gods... I too am taking on a journey amongst my very own Argus with my Brotherhood playing the role of the Argonauts... We have quite the large quest laid before us, be it of our own doing or not...
But as of right now... My fate lies in your hands... The hands of the WCF Galaxy... You have given me a purpose again within this company and every time I step foot in the ring, I leave it all out there... I don't call myself a good guy by no means... But I do perform at a high standard for the sake of my Brotherhood and all of my brothers and sisters that pay good money to see the highest of competition... WCF has proven to be the place for that high level of competitors who do what it takes to entertain the masses... We all bring something to the table and we all love the art of wrestling... Parish would go on a tangent right now and tell you about the sheer beauty of blood being spilled in battle or something... But I'll say this... The moment I springboard off those ropes and I hit The Black Death, it reminds me of the journey it took me to get HERE... Every single time I hit a slew of german suplexes, I remember what it was like wrestling around the world with so many great ring warriors...
So as I set off to compete in my first People's Title defense against a man, whom I claim to be a legit friend in a company who is filled with back stabbers and men who look for themselves... Pomp is a man who is a bit unhinged and he may have taken too many chair shots to the head... But I can see the goodness in him and I can see his true potential... So I step foot in the ring with him for the second time in our career here in the WCF... I look to teach him, just as Darren Knight taught me... We're never too old to learn important life lessons and we should always aim to better ourselves... At the end of our match, we both will become better men and that is the truth...
I'm not going to go on some campaign and offer my wife's amazing cookies or anything... Sorry inside joke... But I am going to offer this... As The People's Champion, I will continue to deliver in that ring as I have done every match I've been in since I laced up my boots... I will continue to be the man that I say I am and I will look after the WCF Galaxy just as I look after my Brotherhood... I am your champion and I need to keep on fighting the good fight...
This is who I am... Now you know WCF... Now you know... |

Plague I got this one... Stephen the Keyboard jockie here... Pomp that's quite the campaign model there, but how about this... A vote for The Plague=The Baron is taken out Old Yeller style at our little camp site? That does have a nice ring to it...

On the eve of Revenge... I sit here in my cabin watching the wood grain softly creak from the unbearable sun rising above us and drying up the moisture in the boards. I begin to reflect on my career... All the companies that came before WCF and how I quickly realized that nothing else mattered before this place... It's a common mistake that I've noticed a lot of new guys have made and are going to continue to make as years roll by... We come in believing in our own hype and we cling to the past accomplishments as if they're the life force that kept us fighting forward. I get it because I too wrestled for a reason and I too wanted to be defined by the titles I had over my shoulder or around my waist... If you're not striving for gold, then why are you here? It's as simple as that, to be completely honest...
So I won the US title in the WCF and it was the high point of my career here in the WCF... So far, anyways. I'm going to continue to be hungry and I'm going to continue pushing myself and my opponents far past our very own limits... That's what a true competitor does in the squared circle... I've heard that a lot lately, we gotta work together to get each other over and to give the best product possible to the WCF Galaxy... I agree to an extent... I believe in giving the fans everything but I also believe it is up to YOU to find that connection with our Galaxy... My Brotherhood pushes me forward and I do everything in the squared circle for their sake... It's that simple... I lead by an example and by doing that, people pay their hard earned money to see the WCF roster do what they do best...
I hold onto my People's title and I think about that very Galaxy I represent... I think about those who truly choose to cheer for me and it still takes me back... I've been the bad guy for so long that the idea of being some kind of hero is mind numbing to say the least... One of my peers even said he'd never imagine fans cheering for a Plague until he saw me cme along... This Plague is more than just the catalyst to a new beginning and a new way of thinking... This Plague brings a hope that was once long forgotten... This Plague stands strong in his very own values and his own beliefs in this world... This Plague is willing to do whatever it takes to save those who are worth saving...
Which brings me to Psychopomp... This kid has heart even if his mind isn't completely there... But I've followed his career since our first match in WCF and he has earned my respect... The idea of placing him before me again isn't the smartest thing that I've seen Seth do, because this is in fact my first title defense with the People's Championship and I'm not coming in looking to fall to Pomp... I invite him to bring his extreme and his hardcore... I know what hell he put himself through in the death match tournament and I swear only a man who is dealing with his own demons would put their selves through so much punishment... Ive looked after you from a far Pomp and come Sunday at Revenge... I will do what I have to do...
Your eyes will be opened and the venom that runs through your veins will be syphoned... Insanity will no longer be a close personal friend of yours... It'll be a distant memory of a familiar voice that has been muted... I promise this awakening will only hurt as long as you allow it to, but in the end... You'll become a better version of yourself... See you at Revenge, kid... Don't worry, Karma baked some treats for you to pregame with... Enjoy...
