Face the Music

[Ben M]

OOC: Apologies for the short RP. Good luck Billy!

The scene opened backstage in the locker room area. Drew McIntyre was staring at a picture of himself with Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal, back when the three of them had formed 3MB. McIntyre chuckled to himself, then turned to face the camera.

Drew McIntyre: You see, Elias... I too used to be a music man. And it was fun. Me, Jinder and Heath, we had some good times together. And unlike when you come out to the ring, the crowd actually liked us. But do you know how much success 3MB had, Elias? None, whatsoever. I mean sure, we got the occasional win, but we looked like a joke and we were treated as such. Even now, years later, Heath Slater continues to pretend he’s a one man band, and continues to have no success. The fact he’s still employed here is a miracle. The point I’m trying to make, Elias, is this. If you want to be a musician, quit. Because none of the fans who turn up to Warfare tonight want to see you sing or play guitar. They want to see you wrestle. They want to see you fight. And if you’ve got some fire in your belly, if you want to have any success as a wrestler, leave the guitar at home. Focus on wrestling. Who knows, maybe you’ll get a few wins under your belt, and title success will follow. Or... you can bring that guitar to the ring, try and play a song, get frustrated when you get interrupted. The usual schtick. Do that, Elias, and I’ll do you the biggest favour of your life by getting rid of your guitar for you. And as an added bonus, I’ll smash it over your head! Who knows, maybe it will knock some sense into you.

McIntyre chuckled to himself, then turned away from the camera as the scene faded.
