Slam Dunk.
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:05 pm
After arguably his most successful year in the business in 2015- The Miz had begun to hit a bit of a rough patch as of late. After dropping the EBWF Championship and failing to regain it in his rematch-The Miz had drifted away from the spotlight. His latest match against Carlito- proved to be one of the most surprising results for Mizfits and Miztakes alike as The Miz was beaten by up and coming EBWF Superstar Carlito. Typically when Miz hits a bit of adversity his default setting is to become ruthlessly aggressive. The 2 time EBWF World Champion did not often take losing with a grain of salt, and one would be forced to believe that he would be obsessing over earning a victory this coming week at Warfare. Then you throw in the fact that the match is for a chance to win the PTG Championship at Fallout- and there is extra incentive. More incentive still- The Miz would be going against two of his most familiar adversaries in Sami Zayn and AJ Styles. One thing was for sure- if there was ever a match that was going to snap The Miz back into form- it would be the match he was about to participate in.
The scene opened up at a Dave and Busters. The scene was packed with people all playing the various arcade games, eating at various booths, socializing, drinking, and having a great time. The place was "bumping" as the kids say. The camera panned around the scene until we were at the front door. The door swung open and much to the surprise of.. well everyone who watches the EBWF... Alex Riley was the first man to pop into he scene. He wore a pair of sunglasses that it was clear he had no intention of taking off despite the fact that he was now indoors. He wore gray scarf over a black long sleeve fitted shirt and dark gray jeans. His hair was spiked slightly with gel and he made sure to barge into the scene and be as obnoxious as humanly possible as was his way.
Alex Riley: Now, now people PLEASE... not all at once.. I know this is extremely exciting- and you just expected to have a night of ski ball and whatever light beer is the special- and you didn't expect to be in the presence of greatness- but please let's try not to start a riot here!
The camera panned to the people around Riley. They couldn't be less interested in whatever the hell he was going on and on about.
Alex Riley: Ugh- like animals! Just no respect for another human being- really just disgusting. Come on man- come in quick before one of these losers gets any "failure" on you.
Quickly through the door came another man. He wore a large black coat- and he used it to cover his face and his entire body as they went past the crowd. The bouncer put a hand on Alex Riley's chest in order to stop he and the other man from entering Dave and Busters.
Bouncer: ID Please.
Alex Riley: Really bro? Do I look like some teenage punk trying to sneak into a Dave and Busters right now?
The bouncer thought for a second.
Bouncer: Well yeah actually you kind of do.
Riley rolled his eyes- he wasn't smart enough to come up with a clever retort. He gave the ID to the bouncer. The bouncer checked it and gave it back to Alex. He gave Riley a wristband which signified he was old enough to drink.
Bouncer: And him..
An arm came from underneath the coat, an ID was in the exposed hand.
Bouncer: You expect me to believe that the man under that coat is the..
The coat ripped open and with his hair slicked around, also wearing sunglasses was The Miz. He spoke with ferocity.
The Miz: Yes I do expect you to believe it chubbs.. because it's me OK. Now you've made me reveal myself- and subject myself to getting slobbered on by adoring onlookers and people who just want to be in my presence to see if some of my greatness can rub off on them, so that they can win in the arcade basketball game and maybe get their first handjob tonight. So thanks a lot! Go ahead everyone- gawk- slobber- stare! The cat is out of the back.. The Miz.. the freaking Miz is here.
The camera once again panned to the other people who were in line. Not one person looked even remotely impressed.
The Miz: Unreal- you see why I had the coat over my face? I feel like I'm an exhibit at a god damn carnival right now. Give me back my ID.
The bouncer looked confused but obliged, putting the same wristband on The Miz. The Miz quickly covered himself with his coat again and Alex Riley led him into the restaurant. Miz and Riley made their way to a booth. When the two sat own. Riley patted Miz on the head (which was still covered by his coat) signifying that it was safe for him to reveal himself once again. The Miz did so. He let out an exasperated sigh of relief.
The Miz: Jesus- can you believe those people out there? I mean I get it- it's like a once in a lifetime thing for them to see someone this amazing in the flesh- but jeez get a hold of yourself. I mean if any of them had played it even slightly cool we could have.. I mean we might have... okay we probably still would have ignored them, I mean let's be real I'm me and they are them. Why complicate things by trying to mess with the way the universe intended it to be? Which is exactly the same question I'd ask AJ Styles and Sami Zayn. Why guys? Why are you going to try and work yourselves up this week.. AGAIN.. to get your ass kicked by me? .. AGAIN. I mean these guys are good at a lot of things.. I'll give them that.. unfortunately for them one of those things is LOSING TO ME. Now I know what they'll say.. but Miz you lost to Carlito last week.. to which I'll say your right... did I lose? Yeah.. did he cheat? Yeah.. did I kinda respect him more for cheating? Yeah.. I mean he knew he had no chance to beat me fair and square.. so he cheated and he got a win he'll tell all the little people on his island wherever the hell that is about while they are playing beach volleyball.. and chewing with their mouth open.. assuming everyone on Carlito's island is like him. That match like AJ Styles wins over me in 2012.. are irrelevant now.. you think I give two shits about a match with Carlito to basically open the show on Warfare?
Alex sensed it was his time to jump in.
Alex Riley: FUCK NO!
The Miz looked a bit startled.
The Miz: Alright.. easy big guy.
Alex Riley: Sorry man- I was just psyched when called.. I've been really bored..
The Miz shook his head.
The Miz: I can imagine.. well I can't.. but you know what I mean.
Alex nodded furiously.. what a tool.
The Miz: You're right though- I didn't care. However, this week Al, this week is a whole lot different. You see this week I have a chance to become the #1 contender for the PTG Title- and all I have to do to make that happen is beat two guys that I've beaten like a drum over the course of my career. Wait a minute what am I saying?
Alex looked confused.
Alex Riley: What? You have kicked both of these guys asses.. what's the problem?
The Miz: I said I have the "chance" it's not just a "chance" it's a freaking certainty. I mean starting with Sami Zayn. Here's a guy who like smiled and red haired his way into our hearts not too long ago. He exploded on to the scene and he won the EBWF Championship and he made it look easy. Nobody seemed to be able to figure out how to beat this jamoak.. until of course.. he ran into me.
Alex Riley: Yeah you kicked his ass!
The Miz squinted at Riley - seemingly questioning why he had invited him.
The Miz: He ran into me- and just like that Sami Zayn was exposed as the weak little lucky charm loser that he is. I beat him down multiple times- and it was magically delicious. I took great pleasure in that Al, pride even. I honestly can't stand when people get to this company and they win like 3 matches and all of a sudden I'm supposed to respect them. Why should I have to respect anyone? Why should I have to care about anyone but myself? I'm easily.. EASILY.. the best wrestler that's ever touched a ring- I have no equal- I'm a star that transcends this business.. I am BIGGER than THIS BUSINESS. So why the hell should I have to even acknowledge anyone else in it? Why should I care about anything?
A waitress came over.
Waitress: You guys want something to drink?
The Miz was still in rhythm.
The Miz: Why should I care about something to dr.. actually I do care about that- I'll take a jack and coke.
Alex Riley: A Jack and Coke for me too! We are so alike Miz!
The Miz looked at Alex and raised his chin as if to say "yeahhh" sarcastically.
The waitress walked away.
The Miz: Seriously though, like I was saying. Why am I supposed to just acknowledge Sami Zayn, as someone that is an upper echelon star in this business. Sami Zayn? Really? Until Sami Zayn can prove to me that he isn't here because Sheamus had too many crazy hairstyle ideas and the EBWF needed to fill their ginger quota- I'm not going to give this guy a first thought.
Alex Riley: Isn't it second thought?
The Miz: Not when you haven't given something a first thought. Sami Zayn beating me is not something that I've even given a first thought to. Some things in life are simple to understand, and one for me is that Warfare's triple threat main event for the right to fight for the PTG Title is just another one of those moments in my career where people are like.. well it looked like Miz didn't give a shit about anything.. but THEN he became the EBWF PTG Champ.. and THEN he won the EBWF Title again- and reminded everyone else why them trying is stupider than any chick who's ever slept with AJ Styles and thought he was going to call them after..
Alex Riley: Respect.
The Miz smirked.
The Miz: That's the thing- I do respect AJ- I respect him in the ring- I respect the success he's had- I respect that he hasn't showered in 5 years and still manages to get hot chicks. I do respect the guy- we've been through a lot together. I've loved him.. hated him.. blocked him from twitter like a 12 year old girl.. we're a whirlwind.. but at WrestleMania- when I needed a partner.. I knew who to call.. because the guy can flat out fight. He's good.. really good.. he's ALMOST.. as good as me.. but that ALMOST is something that AJ is going to have a conniption over when he hears me say it. We do agree on a lot of things.. we agree on most chicks..which has been made obvious over the years.. we agree on the fact that booze and partying are awesome.
Almost on cue their drinks arrived.
Alex Riley: Hell ya!
Waitress: Did you guys want to put in some f..
Alex Riley: Not now toots.. Miz is talking..
The waitress looked at Miz who shooed her away with 4 fingers on his right hand.
The Miz: We agree that the show Archer is hilarious.. but one thing we will never agree on.. is who is better. Early on, he beat me.. soundly.. twice. His claim to fame.. but since then.. it hasn't even been debatable who the bigger star is. It hasn't even been close. Whenever the two of us have been in the ring lately- I have been the one to come out on top. I have been the one to shine. In fact, him joining with me to win that match at WrestleMania was easily the most people have cared about him since... well the last time he and I teamed together. You see the common denominator of people giving a crap about AJ Styles.. is me. Whether we are at each other's throats or playing pranks on Michael Cole together.. the time where people actually are interested in anything AJ does or says- are the times that he is doing them or saying them with or to The Miz. I'll be interested to listen to him this week- to see what angle he plays when he addresses me. The fact is, as far as I'm concerned I'm at peace when it comes to AJ Styles. We've been up and down a long road as enemies and friends and frenemies in this business- that I'm just tired of analyzing it.. I feel like he's my high school sweetheart or something..
Alex RIley: Gross..
The Miz: Alright buddy.. calm down.. that's not PC of you there..
Alex Riley: Sorry my bad.
The Miz: So very similarly TO my high school sweetheart, on Warfare I'm going to break his heart. Just like good old Gabby Pritchard thought she and I were going to be together forever, is the same way that AJ Styles thinks he's going to walk out of Warfare the number one contender for the EBWF PTG Championship.. but you and I both know A Ri.. that BOTH of them were and ARE sadly sadly mistaken. After prom.. it was bye bye Gabby.. the same way that after Warfare it's bye bye AJ. Because, knowing AJ like I OBVIOUSLY do more than anybody else in this business.. one more loss to me.. and that'll be it for him. One more round of false bravado and promises when it comes to defeating me.. only to follow that with a soul crushing defeat.. only to have that followed by me ONCE AGAIN becoming the EBWF Champion.. will do my good buddy in for the last time. AJ Styles and I are like brothers.. but we aren't the brothers that Rachel Ray does a piece about how close we are.. no.. we are brothers who Jerry Springer does a show about how we want to kill each other simply because we are both overly competitive with each other. If AJ bangs a chick, I want to bang a hotter one.. or at the very least I want to bang the same chick.. but better than him.. which once again.. as we've seen.. I've accomplished. If AJ stays up partying until 2 AM I want to be out until 2:01 AM.
Alex Riley: Or like 5 AM!
The Miz: Right.. the point was that I just want to beat him at everything.. so.. so that's why I went 2:01.. you get it?
Alex Riley: 2:01 is when my night starts man!
The Miz went to answer Riley.. he opened his mouth.. but then he decided against it.
The Miz: And if AJ Styles wants to be The Path To Glory Champion- well best believe.. I'm going to see to it that I become EBWF Path To Glory Champion.. so he can't be.. and well so I can be EBWF Champion again.. because Let's be honest.. PJ Black isn't going to ever be the EBWF Champion..
Alex Riley: Who the hell is PJ Black?
The Miz: I think it's Justin Gabriel.. he changed his name..
Alex Riley: Kind of like Diddy?
The Miz: Without the talent.
Alex Riley: You're right about that. Diddy is the shit.
Alex looked at Miz for approval.. Miz completely ignored him.. grabbed his drink and began to walk towards the Basketball Game. He didn't cover his face this time, but continued to acknowledge his adoring fans.. who again.. were not acknowledging him at all. Riley trailed Miz about two paces behind.
The Miz: Yes.. yes.. hi.. I know.. yes.. it's me.. very exciting.
Alex Riley: Seriously Miz I don't know how you live like this...
The Miz: I know man.. it's exhausting.. but it comes with the territory of being amazing.
The duo got to the basketball game with regulation sized baskets. The basketballs had just come down for two other guys who had swiped their card to play. Miz and Riley promptly moved the two guys to the side and began shooting. The two guys, I feel as though it is important to note.. were very scrawny nerdy looking guys.. who instead of picking a fight.. made a swift exit from the game. Miz and Riley began shooting until the timer ran out. One basketball hit the front rim and came right back into the hands of the Miz.
The Miz: On Warfare- The Miz will walk in a man who many of the idiots who watch our show think is struggling right now. A man- who many of the idiots who watch our show.. think is trending down. Only to for the millionth time in their lives.. be DEAD wrong. On Warfare.. The Miz becomes the #1 contender to the PTG Title.. which means.. he basically becomes the PTG Champion.. which means he basically becomes the EBWF Champion.. which is what I should be.. because I'm The Miz.. which means.. I'm well...
The Miz had his back to the basket as he threw the remaining basketball over his head.. the ball came nowhere close to going in.
Alex Riley: SWISH!
The Miz: Awesome.
The Miz winked into the camera and the scene faded to black.
The scene opened up at a Dave and Busters. The scene was packed with people all playing the various arcade games, eating at various booths, socializing, drinking, and having a great time.
