SCENE ONE
We are welcomed once again to an EBWF.com exclusive video. Before we can watch this episode of "Inside The Life" we have to watch some boring sponsor messages first, how tiring. Once they have finished the real action begins as the sound of "Revolution" by 30 Seconds to Mars blasts through the speaker system you have set up. A quick montage of Michael McGillicutty training flickers for around 30 seconds, almost as a preview of what we are about to see. There is nothing out of the ordinary we see during the clip, Mike doing a few pull ups, hitting some sweet suplex's on his training partners and overall showing how much work the new Breakout champion puts into his career. The music suddenly stops and the picture focus' on a very sweaty McGillicutty who is gulping down Gatorade, he catches his breath long enough to shout "All day long boys! Hard work pays off!"
The picture then fades away and we return to see Michael McGillicutty sitting on the apron of the ring. He is dressed in his usual ring attire of black wrestling trunks along with elbow and knee pads to protect himself during a tough day on the mats. He sits looking at the floor and wipes the sweat from his brow, the entire time sipping at a bottle of water which he holds in his right hand. His breath is heavy, but he still manages to say some words for the cameras.
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
If you're watching this video expecting some kind of revolutionary life lesson then lets get that out of the way first shall we. You want to become a success like me, you want to do something like say... I don't know win a championship within a month of starting at a company like EBWF then listen close. All those times that you've heard "hard work pays off" or if try hard you'll succeed. Well isn't said so much because it's an old proverb lost in translation, no it's said so often because it WORKS. How about instead of sitting behind a computer screen like you are now, you get your butt down to Michael McGillicutty's gym and I'll show you just how 'easy' it is to make it in this sport. Now I'm sure that a lot of you have seen my matches, and seen that they haven't exactly pushed my skills as of yet. Now going out and making it look easy like I do... Isn't easy. You see if I'm going out there and struggling to win, then there's something not working in here in this gym and somethings not one hundred percent inside my head. That's why I make sure to stay focused, and push myself to my limits each and every day in here... If I do that, then I know for a fact that there isn't a man alive who can hang with me... And if that's not enough proof for you, have a look at the wall over there.
[ Mike points over to the wall directly opposite him. The camera swings around and we can see a picture of Michael McGillicutty holding his newly won Breakout Championship on the night of Summerslam which was only a few short weeks ago. As the camera is about to pan back to McGillicutty we can hear a load thud and the sound of doors being shoved open, smacking against the gyms walls and rebounding back. The cameraman swings round just in time to see the timely entrance of the last man Mike McGillicutty wants to see right now...
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
Before you go all "rogue" on me... I don't like this anymore than you do, but Steph gave us lemons, so it's time to get out out combustible lemons and get mad...
[ McGillicutty looks irate. He wipes the sweat off his brow and tosses the bottle of water he had been holding to the side. He holds both his arms aloft and questions Christian ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
What the hell are you doing in MY gym... You better get out of here before you get hurt and squash those 'lemons' you keep going on about.
[ Christian holds both his hands up, palms facing McGillicutty gesturing that he isn't here for trouble and that this in fact is a peaceful gesture ]
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
Relax, man... Steph told us not to try to screw each other over, and while me and her haven't seen eye to eye in the past, she's a smart business woman. She wouldn't put the present Breakout champion and the future Breakout champion in a tag match for nothing. There's probably something in this for the both of us. We just need to get out of our individual libraries, and get on the same page. Are you with me?
[ Mike looked to the ceiling and laughed a little after listening to Christian speak. He particularly enjoyed the part about 'future breakout champion'. Mike looks down and directly at the man standing across from him ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
Look here's the deal, I don't need you to come in here and talk about do this and do that... I know you've been the game a long time but buddy your time is up! I'll be more than able beat up a couple of nerds on my own, and if you'll pardon my cliche attitude but try to stay out of my way okay pal.
[ Christian chuckles to himself for a while, he takes a glace over to the full sized ring that sits in the middle of the gym. He then back to Mike, making sure that he knew what he was just looking at ]
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
They're not your average nerds, idiot, they're really good actually. As a matter of fact, they can be tough to beat. I just wonder, if you have what it takes to beat them...
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
Oh... Oh tell me you aren't squaring up to me Jay. You think you're so mighty and wise, you just looked at it pal that's right it's a ring, how about you step inside and we don't have to wait until a scheduled match, I'll kick your ass for free
[ Not one to back down from a challenge, Christian walks slowly over to the ring he seen earlier and calmly enters it. He stands proud in the center and gestures for Mike to join him ]
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
Come at me, Joe!
[ McGillicutty laughs and slowly walks over to the ring. He climbs between the middle and top ropes and walks over to Christian. This gathers some attention in the gym and one trainer attempts to get into the ring, Mike extends an arm telling him that it won't be necessary. Mike gets right up in Christian's face and shoves the Canadian native back. Christian stays on his feet and shakes his head a little at the lack of respect shown by Mike ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
You think I'm afraid of you old timer? See unlike you I can walk the walk and talk the talk... And I'm tired of talking.
[ Before a moment could pass the two end up in a collar and elbow tie up, Mike pushes Christian back into the corner where he would normally have to release the hold, however this wasn't an official match so Mike could do whatever he wanted, and in true McGillicutty fashion he broke the hold and delivered a slap right to Christian's face and took a few steps back ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
That's a bitch slap for a bitch!
[ Christian shrugs it off, and locks up again, this time gaining the upper hand. Christian gets a side headlock takedown, while on top of Mike, he begins to unload punches to the head. ]
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
Silly newbie, slaps are for women.
[ Christian gets back up, and lifts McGillicutty, before grabbing him by the neck and throwing him over the top rope. He then starts taunting the crowd rallying around the ring. ]
CAPTAIN CHARISMA || CHRISTIAN
GET MAD!!!
[ McGillicutty wipes his upper lip and looks down at his fingers and to his surprise there is a little blood on them. He shakes his head is disbelief almost before reverting his glare back to Christian. Mike takes his time getting back into the ring, opting for the steel steps rather than to slide right back in. ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
Get mad.... GET MAD HUH!
[ With no warning Mike delivered a sharp kick to the midsection of Christian who buckles over with the pain. McGillicutty took a few steps back and went for the McGillicutter, but Christian was able to roll with the momentum and escape, by the time Mike had noticed he was already locked up for the Killswitch! But Mike was just about able to summon the strength to power out of it. The two looked at each other for a brief second... A look of respect (almost) on their faces, but before it could really register they were at it again ice-hockey style with one hand holding the other, and the other hand hammering fists into their opponents face. The two are going toe to toe and it looks like Christian is getting the upper hand as Mike drops to one knee... But we soon see why as LOW BLOW! Christian crumples and falls to the floor, grimacing in pain. As a wide smirk runs from ear to ear on McGillicutty ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
Now that right there is why I'm a winner... And you're on the floor. Any means necessary baby! That's what it takes to be a winner in the modern game. If I can get away with a little unhanded tactics, then I'm not letting morals or 'fair play' get in the way of success. You got a problem with that then do me a favor and don't show your face on Monday and get the hell out of my gym.
[ Christian lay on the mat breathing heavily, he was certainly 'mad' as he would call it. The camera cut around to see some of the faces of those watching, to say there was a mixed crowd would be an understatement. Some where cheering on Mike for his underhanded tactics whilst others didn't seem to appreciate the means he was using to get the upper hand on a man he's meant to be teaming up with in a matter of days.
After catching his breath Christian eventually got back to his feet and with a seething look on his face marched right up to McGillicutty looking like he was going to kill him. Mike presented his jaw to cage, pointing at it and smirking, almost egging Christian on. Christian grinned and cocked his fist back, happy to oblige to Mike's open invitation but then out of the blue, Christian changed tactics and rolled McGillicutty up and into a small package. The gym then echoed with the sound of Christian roaring ]
ONE... TWO.... THREE
[ Christian scurried out of the ring with a huge smile on his face and began to walk backwards towards the door. Christian began to chant as Mike was shouting over the top of him, however both could be heard clearly ]
Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner.... GET BACK HERE CHRISTIAN YOU CREEPY LITTLE.... And the NEWWWWWW EBWF Breakout Champion... I'M GOING TO TEAR YOUR GODDAM HEAD OFF... CHRISTIANNNNN!
[ Christian, still walking backwards opened the doors of the gym with a light kick and disappeared from the cameras view still wearing that grin on his face. The camera then cuts back to a seething McGillicutty who's face is as red as a tomato. He is pacing up and down the ring shaking his head. He kicks the bottom rope in frustration and screams like a rabid wilder-beast. He soon turns to the camera and remembers that this entire thing is being caught on camera. McGillicutty runs towards the cameraman who moves swiftly into action, turning the other and sprinting for the door. As the camera rattles and shakes from side to side the cameraman has just enough time to turn the camera to face McGillicutty who has now given up the chase, before the video ends we just about pick up the incensed howls of the Breakout champ ]
HE'S DEAD.... CHRISTIAN, BARETTA, RYDER... THEY-ARE-ALL.... DEAD!
[ The video ends with the EBWF logo flashing across our screen and the picture fading...to....black. ]

I had a blast writing this with David and hope everyone enjoyed reading it. All the speech by Christian is by David and all the McGillicutty speech is by me.
Would love some feedback for this one as it's the first time I've ever done a joint RP, all feedback will be returned of course.
Good luck to Ryder and Baretta's handlers :)
