Without Further Ado...

.:: It was the night after Wrestle Mania and the electricity of the night before was still in the air. The EBWF was hosting a house show with its lower level wrestlers who had not been featured during the Wrestle Mania card. The current match that was going on involved two guys who were in hopes of gaining an EBWF contract in a try out match. In the middle of the match with the two guys going at it “The Man” started playing throughout the arena. The crowd stood up and there was a mixture of boos and cheers. After a couple of moment Daniel Rodimer appeared at the top of the ramp in a pair of blue jeans and a newly designed Daniel Rodimer EBWF t-shirt. The two men in the ring stopped wrestling and stood at the ropes looking at Rodimer demanding why he was making an appearance right now. Rodimer ignored them as he marched to the ring. Rodimer entered the ring and the two men charged at him to try to take him out. Rodimer hit both of them with clotheslines at the same time with opposite arms and both the men hit the ring hard. Rodimer picked one of them up and hit the Deal Breaker on him. He then picked him up and threw the man out of the ring over the top rope. Rodimer then picked the other man up and threw him out of the ring in the same manner. The crowd cheered Rodimer as he walked to the corner of the ring and asked for a microphone. ::.

Daniel Rodimer: Last night I promised I was going to make a change. I promised I was going to stop sitting back and hoping things would come my way. That is why me and a friend of mine found Raven back in the darkest dirtiest corner of the arena last night and completely destroyed him limb by limb. And after we did that, did I go find someone and tell them that Raven had been attacked and give them the opportunity to replace him with someone else? NO! I locked him in a dumpster out back where he belongs and I entered MYSELF in to the fatal four way match. Sure I didn't have the result I was looking for in that match, but that's not what's important. What is important is that I took a step in my EBWF career last night! Now that Wrestle Mania has come and gone, I can make one more promise to you all. This will be the year of Daniel Rodimer! [Rodimer smiled as the crowd booed his declaration.] Before I go any further I want to introduce you all to the man who helped me take Raven out. The man who helped train me the past couple of weeks in Florida to get me in to this shape to take over EBWF. Ladies and Gentlemen, morons and... Bigger morons [The EBWF crowd booed loudly.] Without further ado!

.:: Rodimer pointed toward the entrance ramp and after a few second the lights went out. As the lights were out the crowd cheered in anticipation of who was making their return. After a couple of moments of darkness, “Hallelujah Chorus” started playing throughout the arena. As soon as the theme and video started playing the crowd broke out in to a huge mixed reaction. The last time they had heard from Sandow he was slowly in the process of accepting the support of the EBWF Universe. After his theme song had played for a moment, Damien Sandow made his appearance on top of the ramp with a spotlight on him. Sandow was wearing the blue robe he had worn in the past and had a smile on his face. He posed to the crowd and slowly made his way down the ramp towards the ring. As he was walking down the ramp he stepped over towards the crowd and offered a high five. As soon as the fans hand was about to hit his hand Sandow moved his hand making the fan miss. He laughed as the fan made a sad looking face. Sandow quickly scampered up the steel steps and entered the ring. Sandow approached Rodimer and the two men shook hands. At that time Sandow asked for the microphone and Rodimer happily handed it over. ::.

Damien Sandow: It feels phenomenal to back in this ring. I have missed it so much. Something else I had missed? The disdain of these imbeciles. The hate of the unwashed masses. Speaking of imbeciles. Morons and bigger morons? Really, Dan, is that all you've got? [Sandow shook his head with a smile on his face as Rodimer threw his hands in the air also sporting a smile.] That is why I have made my triumphant return to EBWF! Daniel Rodimer is an amazing talent. EBWF is lucky to have a man with his talent and his looks on their roster. That being said... How do I say this without ruffling any feathers? That being said, when it comes to the matter of the brain, Daniel is lacking.

.:: Rodimer grabbed the microphone out of Sandow's hand as the crowd cheered and laughed. ::.

Daniel Rodimer: Whoa man! I know you didn't come back to insult me in front of all of these people. I was under the impression that you came back to help me. And for me to help you. If this is what it is going to be like then you can...

.:: Sandow put his hand up towards Rodimer and told him to stop. He asked for the microphone and Rodimer reluctantly handed it over again. ::.

Damien Sandow: Calm down Daniel, I did not mean it as an insult. And I was not finished with what I was saying. I was simply saying, if you would have let me finish, that while you lack in that field, you more than make up for it in other areas. Other areas in which I lack, specifically. [Rodimer makes a gesture as though he understands and you can read him mouth the words, “Oh Okay.”] For example; I never had the aggression I should have had before. I would have never taken someone out to get what I wanted. I would have sat back and waited my turn. And sure some may call taking someone out and replacing them in a match a dirty move. But who cares how dirty it is when it is so much fun! Daniel in my career I have never had that killer instinct that you have. I also lacked that go get it attitude, and that is the thing you possess the most of. [Rodimer smiled and nodded his head.] Daniel, what I am trying to say is that you possess the brute force to take whatever you want in this business. If you wanted you could become the biggest superstar in this company’s history. I on the other hand don't have the strength you do. I have to get to my goals by going down a different path. A path less about strength and more about strategy.

.:: At that time Daniel Rodimer went to the corner and asked for another microphone. ::.

Daniel Rodimer: Damien you are right about that. When it comes to the EBWF I am the best looking, strongest competitor this ring has ever held! Up until last night I was undefeated here in the EBWF. Then I ran in to a man who HIDES behind his two lackeys. His two lackeys that are bigger and stronger than he is. Because of this man standing to my left, Bray Wyatt's head games did nothing to me. Damien has taught me how to not give in to silly mind tricks and focus only on what happens in the ring. And nine of out ten times what happens in this ring is me dominating and winning! [The crowd booed and started a “You lost twice!” chant.] I did lose twice. But I am still better looking and more talented than any of you in this arena! Come on now. You all know this!

Damien Sandow: He's right. You oblivious buffoons know it too! Now, before I came down here Dan you said something on the lines of this being the year of Daniel Rodimer. While I am perfectly fine with that being the case, what if we could add another person to that equation? What if it could be the year of Daniel Rodimer and Damien Sandow? To me, in my humbled opinion, that sounds doubly as nice. But Damien Sandow and Daniel Rodimer doesn't roll off the tongue like I would like. What if, and I am just throwing this out there, what if it was the year of...

.:: Sandow handed his microphone to Rodimer who happily took it. Sandow quickly took his robe off and slammed it on the ground. He then proceeded to stomp on it a few times before he picked it up and threw it out of the ring. He was left wearing a black shirt that had a clear back on it and a pair of blue jeans. When he turned around to face the camera his shirt had three words on it. The shirt read, BRAINS AND BRAWN. Sandow smiled as the crowd booed. He reached over and grabbed the microphone from Rodimer. ::.

Damien Sandow: I hereby declare this the year of, Brains and Brawn! You're Welcome!

.:: Rodimer and Sandow shook hands again and raised each other’s arms in the air in celebration as they dropped the microphones to the ground. The two men walked out of the ring and up the ramp to the crowd booing loudly and chanting “You suck, you suck, you suck!” As Rodimer and Sandow reached the top of the ramp they turned around and posed one last time to the crowd before turning around and walking behind the curtain. ::.
