There Can Be Only One

[D.J]

The Miz had done it- he retained the EBWF Gateway Championship with a victory over two of his most common adversaries in Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Next up for the Most Must See Superstar in the EBWF would be Chris Hero. Hero was a guy who had been in and out of the big league companies of the business. He had a very loyal following, mostly in the independent scene. He would have a big chance to make a name for himself though, with a victory over The Gateway Champ.

The scene opened up backstage at EBWF Warfare. We were hours away from the first show of 2018, and you saw different superstars arriving to the arena. The camera panned around until it found the dressing room it was looking for. It was a large brown door that read "The Miz" on the front of it. Just as a hand reached towards the knob, the door swung open and The Miz appeared from the other side. He was wearing a smooth looking gray suit and sunglasses. His hair was slicked back and he had a big smile on his face as he saw the camera crew seemingly waiting for him. He also had the large EBWF Gateway Title belt draped over his shoulder.

The Miz: Were you guys looking for me?

The camera shook up and down to indicate yes.

The Miz: Rhetorical camera man- of course you were- AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE?! At Christmas Eve of Destruction, I did what I always do.. and that is captivate, enthrall, but most importantly- GET RESULTS. Sami Zayn stepped up, Kevin Owens stepped up.. and I hit everybody with the DP... The Double "PFFT!" because neither one of those two jamoak-a-dokes have what it takes to be able to hang on the level of someone like me. Every Mizfit in that arena went in knowing some undeniable truths. One- their hero was by far the most amazing looking guy in the place- with a money maker to kill- and a million watt smile. TWO- That I was going to beat the mediocre of both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn- and that is exactly what I did. Hash Tag FACTS.

The Miz stopped for a second before continuing.

The Miz: This is actually great- I kinda like it when Michael Cole isn't here. I'll interview myself.

The Miz stepped to the side.

The Miz: So Miz- nice suit by the way..

The Miz stepped back to his original spot.

The Miz: Thanks Miz.

Other spot.

The Miz: No problem, Miz.

FIrst Spot

The Miz: Already by far my favorite interviewer I've had since working here. It would seem you're better than everyone else at that as well.

Spot 2.

The Miz: Duh. So Miz- tonight you have a real..

Feel the sarcasm.

The Miz: "TOUGH" test against a guy who's undoubtedly going to try and make a name for himself at your expense. Chris Hero. What are your thoughts on him.. why does he call himself Chris Hero? Is that his last name? Did he save a kitten from a fire? Is he a fan of Mariah Carey and took the name as a tribute to her smash hit song? Is he attracted to Enrique Iglesias, and chooses this way to reach out to him.. hoping that Enrique could be his hero?... I need answers!

Spot 1.

The Miz: Wow a lot of good questions. I'll go in order. Question 1- My thoughts on him are pretty simple, Miz. I don't have many thoughts. You see when you've been here as long as I have, and you've been able to succeed against the best the history of sports entertainment has to offer, a match against a struggling underground guy still trying to break through, just doesn't get the old Mini Miz tingling.. if you catch my drift. I'm really tired of guys that just have no shot to ascend to my level, trying to use me as a freaking trampoline. Chris Hero needs to make like a trampoline and bounce.

Spot 2.

The Miz: You sir are a wizard of words, Miz.

Spot 1.

The Miz: Thanks, Miz. So I wasn't really that sure about Chris Hero, and his credentials. I mean I know I've heard of him. Like I think we were at a party one night after a show and someone yelled "HERO" and naturally I turned and I was like.. "WHAT.." then the guy said it again "HERO!" and I was like " WHAT!? I'm right here!" and then finally Chris answered, and someone had to explain to me that his NAME was Chris Hero. Which makes a hell of a lot more sense, than Chris actually being someone's hero. I mean what kind of person would look up a Ramen Noodle like him? Not only is he a total Ram... but that's actually all he's eaten over the course of his career, because that's all he can afford... and trust me.. after Monday he's not going to be able to look forward to a pay raise. He'll be lucky if he's even in the physical condition to be able to compete again. It all depends on the mood I'm in... current mood... ready to beat the hell out of Chris Hero.. so anyways what was I saying? Oh right- so I wasn't sure about him.. so I did what any smart person would do.. I went to my old friend google.. and what do you think I found, Miz?

Spot 2.

The Miz: Do tell, Miz.

Spot 1.

The Miz: I found out that Chris Hero was an absolute pa-sa-toot.. nobody. I found out that Chris Hero is a frequent back yard wrestler, which means he had to go over one of his friends houses who can afford a backyard, and he wrestled there. Meanwhile, I'm just.. oh I don't know.. dominating in the biggest company the business has to offer, and in some magical stroke of "what the hell is going" now we're facing each other on EBWF Warfare. What a country! Recently we all rang 2018 in, and each year people make New Years Resolutions, most people want to eat less, and workout more. Chris Hero is just happy he finally gets to eat, because his name is across from the greatest of the great, superest of superstars, your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler- The Miz, on this weeks event. However, I think being able to finally afford Mac N' Cheese is about the only thing Chris is going to have to celebrate after our match tonight. Nobody really cares if you have a career making opportunity, if you screw it up, and lose what little career you have. So bad news Chris, your "BIG" break is going to be me making a "big break" of every bone in your body if you try and show out with the bright lights and all the screaming people. This is my world Chris, your world is a PBR littered back yard make shift wrestling ring.. the glitz and the glamour.. the millions of fans.. the TV appearances, the limos, the hot chicks, the LIFE, the DREAM, is MY WORLD. So you leave the being good at this..and winning championships.. to me.. and I'll leave the hitting fat schlubs with chairs that someone just puked on because they drank their jungle juice too fast.. to you.

Spot 2.

The Miz: Ahem...

Spot 1.

The Miz: Oh right.. I doubt he saved a kitten from a fire.. he seems like the type of guy who hates fires and would be crying on the street corner while the real men saved lives. I bet he is a fan of Mariah Carey.. because let's face it.. that's an absolute jam. Finally, I don't think he's creative enough to have a courtship move of that caliber to get to Enrique... but I do like where you're going with that!

Spot 2.

The Miz: Fair enough. Anything else you'd like to say?

Spot 1.

The Miz: There is actually, Miz. I'm excited for this match.. I know it sounds weird since I just explained how decisive my victory is going to be.. but I'm excited for it. I'm excited to have 2018 be a year where there's really just nothing unexpected happening in this company.. at least for me. Nobody can predict what other people are going to bring to the table. Like one minute you could be EBWF Champion, the next you're losing to CM Punk who hasn't even been around. Some people redefine inconsistent.. so I'm looking forward to 2018 being a year of consistent and steady punishment doled out by me to every shroom that tries to step in my way. I'm ready for 2018 to be the year, where I'm just bashing people over the head both in the ring with my fists.. and to the EBWF Universe with the idea.. nay.. the fact.. that I am the greatest god damn wrestler on planet earth. There's nobody better than me in this entire company... at anything.. but especially competing in that ring. I'm excited to have 2018 be the year of The Miz.. a year where not one looney tune maroon.. gets the better of me. A year where the mismatches that you see on paper.. turn into mismatches in the ring. I'm all for opportunity.. I'm all for big breaks.. I'm all for life changing victories.. I just refuse to be the superstar that changes anybodies life. I'm not a rocket ship.. so I'm not here to launch anybody in this company. I"m here to win.. then when the winning is over.. I'm going to then win again. So Chris Hero, tonight is going to try and prove me wrong. He's going to try and get the WIN of his pathetic life.. and this is going to be the thing that finally turns things for him... really? REALLY? Chris Hero is going to start 2018 off with a victory against the EBWF Gateway Champion... reallllllly? No.. what's going to happen.. is Chris Hero is going to decide how long he wants his annihilation to last, in the sense that he's either going to come out like a bat out of hell, determined to prove he belongs... or he's going to prove that he has a couple of brain cells.. and succumb to this overwhelming talent disadvantage he's staring at right now. So my final advice Chris... is don't be stupid... don't try and do something that is going to get you killed tonight.. essentially Chris.. I'm telling you.. as clear as I can speak.. don't be a "HERO"

The Miz smirked.

The Miz: Besides.. everyone who will be in here tonight and the millions more watching around the world already have one.. me.

BECAUSE I'M THE MIZ!

AND I'M....

AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The Miz adjusted the title on his shoulder, and made his way down the hall as the scene faded to black.
