The scene opens to something you may have seen before: a view of a large, skybox corporate office, straight out of the corporate mastermind villain’s base from a movie. This is no movie though, this is the reality, the environment to which the star of today’s scene, E.A. Blizzard is accustomed. The room is beautifully adorned with rare art pieces, a huge oak desk behind which sits the aforementioned man; the large city skyline through the huge windows behind him is not even enough to detract from the aura of the huge, imposing man sitting front and center. A woman, apparently a secretary, scurries out of shot with a sharp hand wave from the man, no words needed, a command of all around him. A command of you watching, as his steely eyes meet the camera, and he begins to talk; dominance and power integrated to every syllable of his speech.
EAB: Well I suppose congratulations are in order, for anyone who missed out on Super Adventure Island and the Courage Championship Match, young master Eli finally found it within himself to achieve a win over me, reaching his career to whole new heights as the NEW Courage Champion, well done Mr. Goode, dare I even say Goode enough for you to show that facing me and losing to me all those times was not a mere waste of my time. It is a well known fact that facing me in matches elevates people, pushes them to become better than they were before me and you of all of them have had most encounters with me, so good on you pal, good on you to gain possession of that championship finally. Of course this means our names and careers are joined together now because your run as the Courage Champion will not be mentioned without the win over me, our matches before Super Adventure Island may just end up being put together in a collection set for collectors and become material for future generations to study for motivation. Whether you like it or not pal, we are synonymous now when it comes to that division. So if you expected me to sit here and complain about the loss, cuss you up and down and swear all sorts of threats of vengeance and pain? You were wrong, if anything I should thank you for proving my point that ever since I started with Level Up Wrestling I’ve been working to better the company and its talent for the better. Heck, within the same process you helped me prove that Game Changers are actually not the villains and crooks people want to portray us in because without us, you would not have the presence you have now, without us, without me you would have never found enough of a killer instinct within yourself to succeed in becoming a Courage Champion. You don’t have to outright admit it Eli, but we both know full well that it is the truth. I’ve made you the better competitor you are, had you gone against someone else all those times you would not be where you are now but I am not the one for praises and approval so you don’t have to thank me, it all is just part of what I do and I’m just that damn good at it.
He leans back on the chair, actually smiling with content, clapping his massive hands together in what seems genuine applaud more than a mocking golf clap.
EAB: Great work pal, good for you champ. Of course you do realize that the real feat is to try and make the division and that championship something better. Because you can’t just coast with a win over me, you can’t rest on your laurels now that you won the title. You know that now you can’t blame your shortcomings on treacherous partners, Game Changers or anyone else you will actually put in the work, dedication and determination and if you fail, if you fall flat on your face after all the bragging and boasting you did before heading to this. If you fail to live up to the expectations of the unwashed, mouthbreathing masses who thought my reign as a champion was such torture well, then you are no better than me, hell pal. You might even end up being worse in their eyes because you lied to them, you made them think you were all that and bag of chips so no pressure there Eli, just make you who don’t end up proving the old saying true “be careful what you wish for since you may just get it” If you need any further help and advice on how to better yourself, you know I am just the person to get that out of you. I did it before and I can do it again as many damn times I want but for now I’ll be satisfied with watching just how your reign goes, do not disappoint me pal. You would end up regretting that for sure. Good luck with your match against Jason Ryan, go out there and make me proud pal!
Then his jovial demeanor changes as the man leans in forward with a more serious look on his face.
EAB: My match at the upcoming EXP 29 is going to be a completely different kind of animal of course. Far be it from me to try and disparage my opponent with some foolish grandiose claims and boasts or assumptions on them. So let my welcome Mr. Stephen Stratford to Level Up on my behalf, your past accomplishments, retiring Damon Riggs and such have preceded you but do not worry, this glorious organization will allow you to reinvent and evolve yourself into something more and better if you so choose. Level Up is a place where anyone can become something better and your involvement with it all will no doubt make this place even better. We may contrast in size and strength but I am sure our matchup on August 2nd in UW-Milwaukee Panther arena we will be without a doubt delivering a match worth remembering for the fans in attendance as well as for the people watching it stream at www.twitch.tv not mention the peers in the company seeing just how things are supposed to get done. I am not here to insult you Mr. Stratford I have no ill will towards you or your success in this industry. If anything I want you to do better, I want you to be successful and don’t take that as admitting defeat or wanting just lay down and let you walk over me. No pal, I am going to do to you what I’ve done to so many opponents in the past. I’ll make you better, I’ll push you further than you have before and I’ll be having a great time while doing it with a wide smile on my face. I do apologize if you expected me to be something else. I know it would be far easier to believe in the false narrative that I am some sort of a bully or an ogre who forces his will onto others by words or by violence but you will come to a realization this Tuesday that those lies are just what people like spreading. They blow things out of proportion, they outright make things up and repeat it amongst like minded individuals trying to make it true. You are hopefully a smart man and would see through this all by yourself consider this just a personal favor from me to you a gesture of good will. See you out there pal, Looking forward to it!
We fade to black on the familiar eerie pearly white grin.
