Killing Him With Kindness.. well Sort Of...

[D.J]

OOC: Here's my RP for Warfare. Went for something a little bit different in this one. Hope you guys like it.

The reign was over. The Miz was out done and stripped off the Intercontinental Title, by the title's longest reigning champion, John Cena. Not feeling too down, The Miz had requested an exclusive interview for EBWF.net. Of course the one man that was quick to jump on this opportunity was Michael Cole. Miz and Cole had had a strange dynamic between the two of them. Cole looked as Miz as a hero, and tried to win his approval any chance he got. It was a strange point in Miz' wrestling career, as he was no longer in the World Title picture, and he had just lost the Intercontinental Title. The EBWF's dynamic had changed in the sense that the Intercontinental Championship division was now being inhabited by former world champion's and Main Event talent. This Monday night's Warfare Main Event was a perfect example of this as the former champion Miz would go head to head with newly returned and EBWF legend, Edge. One could only imagine what The Miz would have to say about this, and Michael Cole was about to find out.

The scene opened up in an EBWF studio, Michael Cole sat on one side of the room in a directors chair, on the other side of the room sat The Miz. He wore a a navy blue sweater with a white collared button up underneath. Michael Cole looked very somber in his nature, almost as if someone had died. Miz looked over at Cole and smirked mocking how sad he looked, he knew it was because Cole anticipated Miz would be in a bad mood. It looked from the smirk that this couldn't be farther from the truth.

The Miz: What's wrong with you Cole? You looked like someone bought the last yodel right in front of you.

Cole frowned, he looked down at his gut and was embarrassed by the few lb's he had packed on.

Michael Cole: Well obviously it's a sad day as you are no longer The Intercontinental Champion.

The Miz thought for a second.

The Miz: You know something Cole, that is an unfortunate situation, but it's not a sad day. It's never a sad day, when you're the Miz. When you're Michael Cole, yes, that's a sad day, that's a sad life.. but being The Miz is a different story. As of late Cole, I've been feeling a lot different about things. Did I lose the Intercontinental Title? I did, Cole. Cena got me.. Cena..

The Miz shook his fist as if he was Jerry Seinfeld saying "Newman"

The Miz: But I'm not down Cole, I'm not pouting like you just were, and like you used to when girls would turn you down when you asked them to Prom. Instead I'm looking forward, I'm looking ahead. I can't change what happened against Cena, what I can do is try to turn things around, what I can do is work to get back into a situation where I shall have my revenge against the sweatbanded one.

Michael Cole: Interesting you should say that Miz, because this Monday Night you will face Edge in a match that will give you the right to do just that? What are your thoughts on this?

The Miz: Wow you don't say Michael... it's almost like I knew that, and gave you a perfect opportunity to segway into that question. I really appreciate that you are picking up what I'm putting down. You know something Michael, we really do work well together, we should do this more often, in fact we should hang out more.

Michael lit up.

Michael Cole: Really, you mean that?

The Miz: No.

Michael frowned.

Michael Cole: Nevertheless it will be you vs. Edge this Monday Night. You'll need to pick up a victory if you want to get back in the ring with Cena for the Intercontinental Title anytime soon.

The Miz: Michael, I heard you the first time. The first thing I don't love about this match is that I even have to be in a match to earn the rematch that I should have anyway being the former champion. But as they say on Pretty Little Liars, Cole, "Whatevs." Me vs. Edge Monday Night, it's a cute idea, I got no problem with Edge. The problem Edge has, is that he stands in the way of me regaining the Intercontinental Championship. It's no secret Michael that the Intercontinental Title is a title that I have made matter again, so it's only right that it's around my waist. Just look at the facts Cole. I held the title, Cena just won it from me, and now Edge is looking to get in the hunt for it. Those are some big names in this business, it's come a long way. Not too long ago Mr. Anderson held the title, I mean Really? As soon as I got my hands on it, now it was cool again to be the Intercontinental Champion again, so I hope everyone will be "cool" with it, when I beat Edge, then Cena, and bring the title right back to where it belongs.

Michael Cole: So you got no scathing words for Edge? That's so unlike you.

The Miz: I'm evolving Michael. Edge is a good guy, he's a great guy.. unfortunately for him I'm a better one. Why do I always have to talk down to people? Is that what's cool, Cole? Is that what's in? Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Michael Cole: No.. I mean it's jus...

The Miz: Michael let me explain something to you, I decide what's cool and what's in.. and nobody tells me what to do. I'm not going to sit here and point out how overrated Edge is, and how crazy it is that he's put on the pedestal he is. I'm not going to point out how me vs. him.. is just EBWF's way of saying.. let's add some drama to our show before we just go right to the Cena vs. Miz rematch. I'm just not going to do it. I'm glad Edge is back the EBWF is better for it.. so what his best days are behind him, and he's making himself look stupid acting confident like he was still in his prime. I'm thrilled to be facing him, love the guy.

Michael looked really confused at Miz' tactics in this interview.

Michael Cole: ...Ooook. So you're happy to face him?

The Miz squinted at Cole.

The Miz: Nothing gets past you Cole. Edge is a really well liked guy around here, with good reason. The guy's funny, he's entertaining, he's got a great personality. If we had an election for student council president, he might just win, I'd even vote for him. Is he a great wrestler, no I mean not really, he's actually pretty underwhelming. Especially on his own, especially these days. I mean he pals around with Randy Orton and it's fun for all of us to remember the rated RKO glory days. That's what he should continue to do. Face the Rock N Sock Connection, that's entertaining, that's what we want to see you do Edge, don't get involved in the Intercontinental Title hunt.. why would you do that Edge? Why can't we just enjoy the fact that your back, and continue to watch you face other once upon a time stars? We can give Hulk Hogan a call, and you can go head to head with him. It'd be great.

Michael Cole: Well Edge really isn't that old Miz.

The Miz: No he's not old, I just don't think anyone really takes him serious as a "current" star.. seeing him back in the EBWF brings back those nice memories, I just don't think it's in his best interest to be getting carried away trying to stand in the way of someone like me from regaining something I want.. no.. something I need. Michael, Edge being back has brought life back into the locker room, people smile more, everyone has just been in a lot better of a mood since he's been back with us, so I'm sure you can understand my concern.

Michael Cole: I'm not sure I follow.

The Miz: I just don't want to be the guy responsible for ruining that joy. Everyone's going to be pretty upset with me, if I'm the reason Edge leaves us again. All the smiles will be gone, the laughter will vanish, and those bad moods will return and it will be all my fault.. Only it won't be Cole.. because I'm not the one sticking my nose in a title hunt I don't belong in.. that would be Edge. I'm not the one stepping into a battle he's not ready for.. that would be Edge.. and I'm not the one that is signing his own goodbye letter by entering this match.. that would be Edge. I just wish it didn't have to be this way.. he really is a swell guy... and I'll sure miss him.

The Miz smirked with confidence at Michael Cole who was beyond confused with this entire interview.

Michael Cole: Anything you'd like to say in closing?

The Miz: There sure is. Ladies.. Genetleman.. Mizfits.. Miztakes.. people randomly surfing the internet who have ended up at EBWF.net. This Monday Night you will see a match between two well known professional wrestlers. Two instantly recognizable faces, who I'm sure the fans can't wait to watch go head to head, and to be honest I'm excited too. I'm excited to face a guy who I've always enjoyed watching, a guy who's made me smile, a guy who's made me laugh, a guy who's made me say "if Edge can be a star.. I KNOW I can be." A guy that I KNOW I'm better than.. and after Monday Night, so to will the rest of the world! Sorry Edge, I just hope we can still be friends after.

Michael Cole: How can you be so sure that you will walk out a victor on Monday Night.

The Miz: That's easy Cole.. it's because I'm The Miz.. and I simply REEK of being..

AWESOME.

The Miz winked into the camera and smiled.. as the scene faded to black.
