• When one door closes...

.:: Scene opened and you were in a familiar place. You were in the living room of Charlie’s house once again. Charlie was sitting in the recliner again but this time had a laptop sitting on his lap and the television was off. Charlie was looking at the upcoming Monday Warfare card with a puzzled look on his face. He had just realized what the whole World had already figured out. The debut of Daniel Rodimer had been put on hold for at least one more week. Charlie didn't know why he was so fascinated by The Big Deal, maybe it was the song that played during the vignette last week. Maybe it was the fact that he had the IT factor as it pertained to appearance. Maybe it's because Charlie saw a little bit of him in Rodimer. Charlie always was the small kid in his school. Not only that but he was a fanatical EBWF fan. For Halloween when other kids were dressing up like pirates or foxes, he would always don the persona of EBWF creator Wes Ikeda. He didn't care what the other kids would say about him. As he always said to himself, like John Cena would say, “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect!” This was Charlie’s way of showing his loyalty and respect to EBWF. Maybe that is why last week when Charlie saw people throwing eggs at Rodimer on the bus he felt an instant connection. For these reasons you could imagine the excitement on Charlie’s face when he scrolled to the latest news section on the EBWF website. There, on the first slide, was a picture with Rodimer and the words, “Daniel 'The Big Deal' Rodimer addressed the EBWF Universe for the first time!” in bold. Charlie clicked the image and the video of Rodimer's first official EBWF promo started to play. ::.

.:: Daniel Rodimer was seen standing in front of a big screen television in what appeared to be a backstage area to an arena. He was alone and wearing a pair of tight blue jeans, black dress shoes, black belt, and a black button down dress shirt. Rodimer stood with a confidence of a man that had already accomplished a great deal in EBWF. He was alone but appeared to be happy that way. As Rodimer began to speak, he lifted his hands up and out, about the same height as his waist. ::.

Daniel Rodimer – Allow me to introduce myself… my name is Daniel Rodimer… and I am THE Big Deal! You may remember me from my days in WWE. I was the best looking contestant in Tough Enough history. Yeah, I’m that guy! [Rodimer stopped and smiled for a moment.] I am here in EBWF simply because WWE did not deserve to have me! I have everything anyone could want! The chiseled physique, the face and hair of a winner, and of course the in ring skills of a champion! Simply put… I’m the man!

.:: Rodimer stopped and smiled again as Charlie started single “I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man!” Charlie quickly stopped when he saw Rodimer start to talk again. ::.

Rodimer – Unlike the morons in WWE who didn’t realize what they had, the genius that runs EBWF knew what he could have! Mr. Wes Ideka didn’t waste his time calling me. He personally flew down to Florida to talk to me. Face to beautiful face! My face of coarse… being the beautiful one! [Rodimer smiled.] Wes said he always gets what he wants, and that he wanted me exclusively in the EBWF ring. After a couple days of consideration I decided to bless him, and you all, with my presence! You can thank me later. [Rodimer paused and got more serious.] Now, looking up and down this EBWF roster, I see a lot of talent. I see a lot of strong competitors. But let me tell you all something now, and afterwards you can tell everyone else something for me. This is my World! You all are just living in it, because I allow you to. The more ordinary looking people there are I look that much better! This is my World! I am the man! I may not have a match this week, but soon enough I will make my debut. And when I do, you will never forget that moment. The moment your pathetic lives got more interesting, simply because of me! Go ahead and spread the word in the back boys. Daniel Rodimer is here, and he’s the man!

.:: The video ended with Rodimer smiling in a cocky way at the camera. Charlie sat in disbelief for a moment. He had figured Rodimer all wrong. Instead of the both of them being bullied, it appeared Rodimer was doing the bullying. He didn’t carry himself like someone who had been bullied in the past. He was confident and outspoken. Maybe that is why Charlie quickly got a smirk on his face. No more will Charlie be bullied by kids. He will take a page out of Rodimer’s book and walk with a new found confidence. Charlie had never been a fan of bad guys in EBWF before. He always cheered for faces. That had changed though, after just one time of hearing Rodimer talk. Charlie quickly opened up his Facebook page. He clicked on his status to update it, surely to spread the word about Daniel ‘The Big Deal’ Rodimer. ::.
