A Change...
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:35 am
The scene opens up in a dark room. The lights are not on, and little to no light at all is visible. A hint of sunlight shines through some blinds in the room, yet it is very, very dark. The camera focuses in on a figure in the corner of the room. The only thing seen of the figure is a leg, bent, as if the person there was sitting with their legs up, bent. An arm can also be seen, leaning over the kneecap. The side of the person's face can barely be seen, only an outline of the hair and cheeks. A slight movement is made, and the figure speaks.
[-] "Through time and time again, I've sat here. Sat here.. thinking. Sat here.. wondering. Sat here.. dreaming. Sat here.. fearing. I think of what the day ahead of me will hold... I wonder what obstacles will be put in front of me for the day, and what I will have to do to overcome them. I dream of a world that is peaceful, that is calm, that is giving, but a world like that is only a dream, nothing more. I fear for myself, for the children, for the adults, for the world. I fear for those who sin, those who go through life, not giving a damn. And through all of that thinking, through all of that wondering, through all of that dreaming, through all of that fearing, I stop and realize one thing...Its useless. The rise and fall of the day is equilavent to the rise and fall of a company, a wrestler, a champion. EBWF. My new home. I am nothing but a speck on your radar, right now. That will soon change. To start this new transformation off, a show, a card, an event... must be booked. This event, card, show, whatever you choose to call it, has been announced. This show will be live from Sydney, Australia, and boy do I love to go down under. And when I go down there next Monday, I will make you come...out of your seat so many times with excitement. Cause for me, this is a new beginning, a new start. Justin Credible is my opponent and I can't wait to beat the tar out of that jerkface."
The man leans forward into the light and reveals his face. If we weren't aware of it by the voice so far, we now know for sure that it is Raven. He smirks.
[-Raven-] "I once met this guy at a bar and bought him 20 Natural Light beers. He STILL hasn't paid me back or bought me my share of beers. On top of that, he owes interest on the borrowed beer fund, so he actually owes me about 47 beers. He better get on that, or that number will grow. In fact, why don't you go ahead and bring those beers to the arena? I'm sure Australia has some great beer for you to purchase. Then, bring those full cans to the ring, and watch as I grab each one and HURL IT AT YOU! I will smash your face with these full bricks of booze and you will like it. Justin Credible, you will take it like a man and you will smile while I destroy your ugly little face moreso than it already is with dent after dent from a full bottle of beer. Then, I will drink these cans of beer. From there, I will crush them and cut you with the sharp, pointy ends of the crushed can. Oh yes, that's right. You will bleed. Blood everywhere! I will stagger out of the ring an accomplished man when I do this, because you will had been left bruised, dented, and bloodied. And most of all, I will be leaving drunk, and who doesn't like being drunk? I personally love it. You know what else I'd love? You to try and stop me from doing any of the prior mention acts of greatness. But enough about you. Let's talk more about... me."
There is a slight pause. Raven soon continues.
[-Raven-] "The wrestling world as we know it is undergoing a change.. undergoing a transformation.. undergoing a rise to new heights. Though once that rise is complete, there will only be one thing left to happen. A fall must occur, and when it all begins to tumble, that's where everyone will truly be tested. Are you capable of surviving the fall? Are you capable of surviving the impact that will be made when this company is hit with something as big as what's about to happen? Are you capable of surviving the truth? Are you capable of surviving yourself? Better yet, ask yourself this question. Justin. Everyone. Are you capable of surviving...The Raven Effect?"
With that said, Raven is shown clearly now, standing, arms out in a crucifix position. He stares intensely at the camera. The scene then goes to static, then to the loud SHHHHH snow, and then completely... to... black. One last sound is heard, and it is that of a bird. One last caw is made then, and it is that of.. a Raven, followed by a silhouette, filled with black, of a bird with its wings flapping and its mouth open. Fade.. to.. black.
