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 now, you win some and you lose some isn’t that right folks? Of course it all depends on the matter of perspective while the Game Changers did not come out of EXP 31 as winners we sure did succeed in delivering a message that needed to be sent and I don’t think a single solitary soul, not one of the unwashed mouth breathing masses missed the point of just what happens when you choose to mess with us. Going forward it would be wise for our opponents, peers and crew alike to keep this lesson in mind so that it won’t need to be repeated with much more dire consequences in the future because everyone knows we are capable of doing it as many times as it needs to be done.
Blizzard manages to look absolutely warm for a moment, a pleasant smile or something similar to that across his face, before he turns serious again.
EAB: At 32 I get to face someone in a standard match but to be honest I don’t think there is anything standard about my opponent. Antonio Ricci, I don’t claim to know you personally but I know of enough, I know enough not to take you lightly and assume that this match would be even remotely easy or pleasant for either one of us. You are a tough son of a so and so without a doubt and while you may not been at LevelUp all throughout it’s duration you know exactly what you are getting into with this company, you have previous experiences and expectations of things to come. Allow me to personally welcome you to embrace my vision for the betterment and overall improvement of this place. You seem like a very capable and resourceful fellow who could truly appreciate the big picture of a brighter future here. Someone of your qualities could be very useful and helpful in making this place better, leveling it up closer to its true potential. A match between us can be seen as a trial run or a test by some but I am not out here to recruit you to the Game Changers or making threats. I'm not even telling you anything you don’t already know. I am offering you a chance to be your absolute best, better than you ever were before Mr. Ricci. You do have the look, the size and strength but what I think most miss on when looking at you is your intellect. You are smarter than what your appearance may seem, far smarter than they give you credit for. So do the smart thing Antonio join me in making this place what it should be, mere wins, records and championships come and go, they will fade with time but my vision for this place would make it last long after both of us are gone from this world, future generations can look up and research our works for this place and truly appreciate our greatness even if the current crop of fanbase and peers may frown upon it all and overlook it as some ridiculous and foolhardy endeavor.
Blizz leans back on his chair looking as disarming and unthreathening as someone of his appearance and demeanor ever could.
EAB: I am not a bad man Mr. Ricci, I am not the thug or a monster that some bitter individuals want to portray me as, I am sure you know this already but I shall express it still since I have nothing to hide, no trick up my sleeve or some plot or plan to spring up on you. I am a honest businessman, hard working and earnest to a fault sure, but at the same time I have no deceitful fiber in my being. Unlike most members of this roster I don’t have to brag and boast, beat my chest and rant about just how great I am and about my accomplishments, my actions speak for themselves. The work I’ve done with some of the lesser stars of LevelUp is more than enough proof of my abilities; those who have gone toe to toe with me during matches have come out better for it. You too can achieve that Antonio, sure Eli Goode or Donny Mason may not be men of your level of talent and potential necessarily but if I could accomplish such things with them just imagine what we could achieve together, something more than a mere match here and there for the drooling drones in the crowd can boo or cheer on. On October 9th 2022 you can change your life for the better Mr. Ricci. Indiana Farmers Coliseum may just become the stage that will forever be remembered as the place where your career set itself to whole new heights. A solo standard match between two individuals such as us can mature to something far superior than anything else on the whole show and we both know it. We don’t need championships to act like champions Mr. Ricci, join me in proving to the whole roster just why should they push themselves to be more like us, I am not asking you to lay down, lose or hold back Antonio..all I’m asking is that you take this sincere offer seriously because it’s not about me, it’s not about you..it’s for the greater good.
We fade to black on Blizzards eerie pearly white grin.
