Reaching New Heights
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2012 2:05 pm
Evan was on cloud nine following his victory last week against Drew McIntyre where he had climbed the ladder and retrieved the briefcase which earned him the right to compete for the Breakout Title this week against the current champion Trent Barreta. Evan was definitely looking forward to stepping into the ring against him and competing for a singles title, something that he didn’t get a chance to do in the WWE. However that was still a few days away, for now the scene was set in the hallway of a hotel where a majority of Superstars and Divas of EBWF were checked in at. Evan had planned yet another date with Maria as if it wasn’t apparent already; the two of them had taken a liking to each other and spent quite a lot of time together. This evening Evan was planning on taking Maria out to dinner at a fine restaurant that he had heard about from a friend in Omaha Nebraska. Evan was dressed rather formally in a suit and a tie, some may say that he was overdressed for the outing but that was just the person that he was. He stood in front of Maria’s hotel room door and knocked on it softly before placing his hands behind his back as he was hiding something, something that he wanted to give to Maria. There was a brief delay on answering the door which caused Evan to panic a little. Did Maria have a change of heart? Or had she simply forgotten about their date? Evan was just about to knock on the door yet again however thankfully Maria opens the door and had an innocent look on her face as she was fidgeting with one of her ear rings putting them on.
Maria Kanellis
Oh my god, I’m so sorry about that Matthew. I was running a little late so I’m just scrambling around getting ready for our date, don’t worry my little Spider-Evan I haven’t forgotten. Why don’t you come on in and have a seat while I finish getting ready.
Evan simply chuckles and nods his head as he enters her hotel room making sure to turn around as Maria closed the door once he entered still keeping his hands behind his back so that she couldn’t see what he was holding. Maria noticed him with his hands on his back as she taps her chin and arches her right eyebrow.
Maria Kanellis
And what exactly do you have behind you mister? Don’t tell me you were fooling around in the hotel and got arrested by an officer!
She proceeds to giggles as Evan manages a chuckle as well, while shaking his head from side to side. He decides not to be too much of a tease as he removes his hands from his back and holds out what he had brought for her in front of him. It turned out to be a pink plush teddy bear as she notices her facial expression change as she gasps.
Matthew Korklan
Surprise! I decided to get you this pink teddy bear on my way here. I remember you telling me how much of a silly bear I was during the concert we attended last week, so now you’ve got a teddy to remind you of me whenever we are not together.
He hands her the teddy bear as she takes it from him and gives him a big hug while bouncing up and down on the spot.
Maria Kanellis
Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! I love it. I’m going to put this teddy bear right beside the red roses you gave me last week. You really are spoiling me by giving me gifts every week! So, shall I be expecting a diamond ring next week? You know what they say…diamonds are a girl’s best friend, gold is a close second! And you’re on your way to winning championship gold this Monday at Warfare, I’m soooooo excited! When you win, shall I expect the belt to be coloured pink like this teddy bear? After all, pink is your favourite colour right?
She proceeds to nudge him on the arm as Evan cheeks turn a little red in embarrassment, even though they had been together for almost a month, he was still so shy around her.
Matthew Korklan
Hey! That’s not true…well the pink part isn’t true. I got you that colour because you told me it was your favourite colour, no need to be cheeky now. As for the Breakout title match I have? Yeah, I’m definitely excited about that. But right now it’s about me and you, that title match can take a back seat. Too be honest, you mean more to me that any title in the world. I’m definitely on cloud nine with the two wins I’ve picked up early on in my career on EBWF but having your moral support has helped me out a lot as well, so thank you.
He proceeds to lean in and kiss her on the cheek, as now she was the one that was blushing. She places the pink teddy bear beside the vase of red roses he had given her last week before walking back towards him.
Maria Kanellis
Awww, you’re so sweet Matthew. I’m glad I could have such a big influence on you. I wish I was able to motivate myself…I don’t know what to do about my career, that loss last week against Layla definitely hurt. It has made me think, maybe I should just further pursue my singing career and forget about competing in the ring since it’s obvious that I don’t have what it takes to---
Before she could complete her sentence, Evan proceeds to place his index finger on her lips so that she couldn’t continue insulting herself.
Matthew Korklan
MARIA!!! Now that’s no way to think! You DEFINITELY have what it takes to succeed in the wrestling industry, and mark my words that Sky High title belt WILL be yours soon. You’re such a hard worker and your persistency will pay off in the end. Just try not to worry about it too much okay?
He now removes his finger from her lips so that she could speak, noticing her nod her head she still seemed to have a troubled expression on her face.
Maria Kanellis
Oh I don’t know Matthew…I mean when you win the title this week you’ll realize that I’m no good and that there are better, more successful divas within the company. Maybe you and I should just call it quits, I don’t want to hold you back and go down to my level of losing. I think I’m taking up your precious training time with this dinner date, I---
It was evident Maria was having a panic attack so Evan had to make a bold move by gripping onto her shoulder tightly and kissing her passionately on the lips. A lip lock that lasted what seemed like an eternity before he parted his lips from her’s and looked into her eyes. The kiss seemed to have settled her down as he kept his hands on her shoulders.
Matthew Korklan
Breathe Maria, just breathe…like I said you mean so much more to me than any title. I don’t want you thinking that I’ll become some sort of pig headed arrogant punk IF I win the title, and that’s a big IF. It’s not guaranteed that I’ll win the title but I’ll give it my best shot. But let’s forget about all things wrestling related okay? This is supposed to OUR time, me and you in our own little world. I’ll worry about the title match when it draws nearer. Let’s just enjoy OUR date okay? I’ve got a great evening planned for the both of us. And no it doesn’t consist of my forcing you to jump onto the table and sing for the rest of the customers in the restaurant…unless you want to!
He gives her a sly little wink as a giggle leaves her lips with her kissing him on the cheek and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Maria Kanellis
You’re so silly you know that? And that’s right, this is about you and me. So what are we waiting for slowpoke? Let’s get this party started!
She proceeds to unlock her arms from around his neck and takes his right hand pulling him towards the door.
Matthew Korklan
Party? Who said anything about a---?
Before he could complete his sentence they had walked out of the hotel room as she had closed the door and there date or “party” was set to begin. Now even Evan didn’t know how this evening was going to go, but one thing was for sure, it would be an eventful one.

Scene Two: Webcam Viewing
We were just a day away from another much anticipated edition of Warfare where a bunch of high profile matches were scheduled to take place including a title match that featured Evan Bourne who was going to take on the Breakout champion Trent Barreta. This was Evan’s chance to take the next step in his career and finally win a Singles title for the first time in several years. The scene was set in Evan’s home of St. Louis Missouri as he was about to interact with the EBWF universe through a special webcam segment, to talk about his match and other things that were going on in his life. He was ready to go live as he turns on his webcam and proceeds to speak.
Matthew Korklan
Hey guys! Evan Bourne here to talk about my big title match in just a few days at Warfare against Trent. I know he’s held the title for almost four month and he’s had one heck of title reign but I’m going to give it my all as this is the first time in a while that I’ve received a shot at some singles championship gold in my wrestling career and I’m going to make the most of it! I also want to thank all of my fans who are watching this for their continued support and kind words it has really helped me out a lot. And for those who keep tweeting and e-mailing me about my foot, let me assure you that I’m feeling perfectly fine and I have no pain at all in my foot anymore.
He gives a thumb up as he adjusts the webcam and continues to speak.
Matthew Korklan
Speaking of e-mails, I got quite a lot of them following my ladder match last week against Drew McIntyre, which turned out to be a rather hellacious match just as I expected any match that involves ladders is indeed a grueling match. I’ll be honest, I’m still feeling the after effects of some of the shots I took from the ladder at the hands of Drew but all those bruises and welts are worth it at a shot at the Breakout title.
He proceeded to nod his head in approval as he decides to conclude the short webcam viewing.
Matthew Korklan
Alright guys, I’m going to end this off now. Be sure to tune into the Warfare this Monday and watch me attempt to capture the Breakout title. And for those who plan on attending the event at the CenturyLink Center, make sure to show your support and bring your signs to the show. And as for Trent? If you’re watching this, I’m going to come after you with everything I can so you better be ready for the unexpected because I’m going to approach our match this week like it’s my last. You’d better keep your head up and not be caught on your back on the mat, because you'll fall victim to a Shooting Star Press and will be looking up at the new Breakout champion!
With that being said Evan proceeds to stick up his index and middle finger with a smile expressed on his face as the webcam viewing ends.
