EAB: DOOM WAITS FOR NO ONE

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 am sure there are a ton of folks out there holding back their disgust and trying to hide the disappointment that myself and Lawrence Tact both made it out of EXP 24. Of course and I have no doubt that Miss Jones is not best pleased about that result, I wouldn’t expect her to be but going forward towards the aptly named Pay Per View “DOOM” There’s something else afoot when the self proclaimed heroes of LEVELUP are supposedly trying to stop Game Changers for doing more harm to the very company we simply want the best for. How egotistical, utterly selfish and completely false can one be when they are blind to the very truth that is plain as day. You have five bitter gentlemen thrown together where their motives seem to vary from vengeance over silly grudges to just plain opportunistic chance to showcase themselves as some sort of virtuous five. Yet the fans and peers alike gravitate to believe this narrative were myself and the Game Changers are some villains. People can throw out some of the silliest theories and outright somphmoric and juvenile pranks on us but we, those who strive to bring pride and prestige to the divisions we are in and for the company as a whole are the ones people pay to see just with the hope that we might lose or get some of the made up comeuppance we are supposedly due over our actions.



The big man shakes his head slowly whether it is at disgust or resentment is up for debate as he goes on.



EAB: I know that it would be suitable and customary for me to use this time to boast and brag about just how much of a unit and actual team we are in comparison to our opponents, call them names up and down and label them as some sort of ragtag collection of people just got thrown together. However I would consider such antics more suitable for them, for a person who spends their time looking for different definitions for toilet droppings, or someone who thinks throwing stink bombs. I do not know Mr. Bane personally, I’ve never had any dealings with him but I trust Lawrence to know what he is doing and Mac Bane by all stands and practices seems like the sort who appreciates good business when offered to him. Four of us in Game Changers are capable of holding our own as is well established but making things even in a 5 on 5 team is a good way to avoid excuses from our opponents as well. People will always find a way to twist the truth to fit their own views and no doubt these five individuals will master that craft too in the upcoming weeks. I applaud the effort that has been shown by them to try and “take a stand” however jaded it may be and looking forward to hearing the reasoning from some of them just “why” is it that they should be taken as serious opposition and why things will go their way this time. Do not get me wrong folks, I am not here to discredit our opponents or sell them short. If anything I welcome honest and fair competition because such are the ways that made American businesses the great success stories they are. This match is going to pit five men against five other men, two teams go in and one team leaves as a winner. Concept of Wargames is one thing but despite their best efforts GameChangers has not been stopped by any of our opponents, sure they may have slowed us down now and then with some speed bumps on the road forward but the progress has not stopped. Our plan is going forward strongly and adding someone like Mac Bane to this match on our team will do nothing but make our chances even better.



He nods.



EAB: So go on get your jokes in, throw out your insults but while you do that and boast about things you are hoping to achieve at this pay per view, take into consideration that results haven’t always gone the way you have hoped before and it may not happen this time again. So I would suggest you do not go and make spectacles of yourselves by making claims of something that you can’t fulfill. Our end game to all this is something far bigger than any individual in our group or even all of us together. So the result of the match may be all and all for you five but it will not change the goal we are heading for. It will not change the vision we share for this company, we have nothing to lose but everything to gain and you? You are laying yourselves on the line hoping to achieve something at our expense not truly realizing just what it would mean to you all should you not win at DOOM, as ominous as title may sound don’t take it a premonition of things to come, not for us at least, for yourselves? That relies heavily on your own actions in this match. Say what you want to the cameras, to the fans and your peers but deep down I am sure all of you know that your cause is just as hollow as you. The fire that supposedly drives you and fuels you is a flicker, it can run out at any given moment. You could have been on the side of the good guys on the right side of this thing if you would have put aside your selfish ambitions and thought about the greater good for once. We have worked for this vision and this company’s future without sparing ourselves physically and mentally. This is worth all the sacrifices made in and out of the ring and more, even if you don’t see it now the future generations of LEVEL UP will recognize our hard work and thank us for it. Lawrence Tact, Drake, ISAAC and myself the Game Changers together with Mac Bane, we will make history at DOOM one way or another and you five, the bunch of you can at least be proud that you were there experiencing that with us, even if I doubt that you will get much credit for what will happen regardless. You will have something to tell stories about for years to come, that time when you faced the greatest supporters this place ever had and that by itself is far more than such a five as yourselves deserve.

He leans back on his chair looking right into the camera.



EAB: See you all in Baltimore and best of luck to all involved in the match we’ll see who truly needs it and what the future holds for us all because the game won’t stay the same it is always changing.



With that we see the familiar eerie pearly white grin of the Courage champion before we fade to black.
