Rollins Report (18/07/16)
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 4:02 pm
The scene opened with a highlight reel of Seth Rollins to the sound of “Second Coming” by CFO$ which showcased some of Seth’s most athletic moves, as well as impressive moments from his time in EBWF so far. This slowly faded out into a shot of Seth Rollins, in an all-black suit. He was sitting in what could be described a talk-show set, more similar to the Daily Show than to the Tonight Show. On his desk, there were some props, which included a microphone, a Seth Rollins action figure, and a mysterious closed box in front of him. In front of his black desk, a golden neon sign with Seth Rollins’ logo was lit up. After a round of applause for the opening, Seth Rollins signals for the crowd to calm down.
“Hello everybody, and welcome to the most must see talk-show in television his…”
Rollins stopped dead on his tracks and seemed absorbed in thought.
“Wait… That’s not something I say, is it? That must be because I don’t need to remind people of how good I am, that’s just something for show-offs and wannabe A-Listers, I guess.”
Rollins shook it off, and continued on with his monologue.
“Welcome to the first ever Rollins Report! Let’s get right into the show, ladies and gentlemen, we have a great one for you. We have a very special guest tonight, and I’ll tell you who it is in a minute, but first, there are some things I want to address. The current number one trending hashtag on Twitter is #KimExplosedTaylorParty. First of all, what is “explosing” and how can I start doing it? Secondly, I have a general idea of what this is about but I don’t care much about it. Kanye and Kim have nothing on me, and neither does Taylor, for that matter. So let’s get something else trending, I suggest #SethRollinsIsStillInBetterShapeThanChuckTaylor or #CrossfitJesus for short!”
A graphic with both hashtags appears on-screen, one at a time, though the first one obviously takes up more space than the second one.
“If you don’t live under a rock, which you may, it’s totally fine and not weird at all. If you don’t live under a rock, you may know that Pokémon Go came out recently and already has millions of downloads, even I’m playing it. A lot of people in the EBWF locker room are playing it as well, but there’s one alternative version that only one person has, which reflects everybody’s feelings towards that person. He just so happens to be facing me and Jimmy Havoc on Warfare, his name is Alex Riley, and everybody, including his partner, wants him to Pokémon Go Away.”
Seth Rollins pauses for laughs, and lets out a little chuckle before continuing.
“He’s entitled to a special version, you know. You know who else is entitled? The Miz. Get this, he believes that he is going to win the Tag Team Classic, because he came up short in the King of the Ring tournament! I mean, he’s alright and all, but the last time I saw this much delusion was when he called my tag team partner, Jimmy Havoc by JIMMY JACOBS! Wait, that was in the same damn promo?!”
Rollins laughed loudly, in a way that could only be described as a dastardly villain’s laugh.
“I haven’t seen Jacobs in years, man, do a fact check! My partner and I have done ours. Get ready for a fact spitting that would envy “Mr. Wikipedia” Matt Sydal… The Miz is a former World Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion, PTG Champion, he’s won almost every championship in EBWF, as much as I’d like to say he’s worthless, I’d be lying. He’s got value, I’ll give him that, but that value won’t help him carry the dead weight that is his partner, Alex “whatever his last name is”. Funny thing is that it seems that the one championship that The Miz has never held is the one my partner currently holds. He was SO close to winning the King of the Ring, though. That’s gotta annoy him, constant reminders of how he got so close, and failed. I wouldn’t know, I always achieve what I intend on achieving.”
Before continuing, Rollins cleared his throat.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time is a psychopath. He’s wrestled around the world, but decided to come break light tubes in EBWF. Please welcome the first ever guest on the Rollins Report, the reigning, defending EBWF Breakout Champion, Jimmy Havoc!”
Havoc’s theme plays, but no one comes out.
“… Is what I would say if I even knew where the hell he is. That’s the thing everybody seems to count out about Jimmy Havoc. You already know that you’re gonna get the fight of your life, you know that your chances of beating him are slim, but everybody seems to forget a very particular trait. You never know what Jimmy Havoc is in the ring with you. You could get the nice Jimmy Havoc who will destroy you with actual wrestling, or you get that psychopath who will destroy with any weapon he can find, and I’m not even talking about what could happen in the ring. Even I should look over my shoulder, but I choose not to, nobody breaks a tag team with me.”
Rollins winked at the camera and continued on with his monologue.
“As you may have guessed by now, I saw what Miz and Riley had to say about me and Havoc, despite being a bit confused as to why they were talking about my old group for a while. I saw their little banter, and I have to say congratulations, Miz. If you and Riley really think you can beat me and Havoc, then you’ve invented a new kind of stupid. This tag team classic is pointless, because Jimmy and I will go on to win this entire thing, then I’ll move on to win the Intercontinental Championship. Collecting all the championships and concentrating them in one team sounds like a solid plan.”
Rollins seemed to be imagining that scenario for a bit, before continuing to talk.
“Since it seems we have no guests, and my future opponents might be rubbing some ointment on their burns, we can wrap the show up for tonight, and always remember my motto. Redesign, Rebuild, Reclaim. Oh, and before I go…”
The lights dimmed into deep darkness as Rollins opened the box that was on the desk, in front of him. Inside it, there was a mask, which Rollins put on. It was black and covered everything from the eyes down. On it, the only design was that of white fangs. The camera did a close up on Rollins who stared at the camera without blinking.
“Kill Rollins Kill.”
The scene cut to black immediately to end the segment on this eerie imagery.
