Much Needed Reminder
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2016 11:03 am
The Miz had missed out on his chance to become the #1 contender for the EBWF Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam, and had not been pinned in the decision. This could not be sitting well with a man who had held every major title in his recent 5 year run with the company. To make matters even worse for the self described "Czar of Awesome" the EBWF was buzzing over the return of one AJ Styles. AJ had been off TV for awhile and made a very dramatic return following the main event at Summerslam. Miz and AJ had had an unspoken (and a lot of times spoken) competitive nature of their friendship, so one wold imagine Miz would be none to pleased at the attention his frenemy was receiving after the events that took place at Summerslam. Miz would have to refocus himself though, as he would be back in action on Warfare against another extremely confident competitor in Dolph Ziggler.
The scene opened up in a very familiar setting. It was the "man cave" style basement in the LA home of EBWF superstar The Miz. He was sitting in a big leather chair, dressed in black Nike basketball shorts and a white with black Nike t-shirt. He had his hair slicked with gel- and he rested his face in his hands. Alex Riley sat in a couch diagonally from The Miz. He wore a white button up and dark blue fitted jeans. He seemed like he was holding back a lot of energy, but saw that Miz seemed down so he quickly rested his face in his hands as well to match his buddy. Finally, Miz startled Riley by quickly making an exclamation at a very high volume.
The Miz: Dude honestly.. what the hell.... REALLY!?
Riley looked slightly confused.
Alex Riley: Uh.. yeah.. right.. I know.. seriously.
The Miz didn't let Riley's uncertainty break his flow.
The Miz: Summerslam was an absolute joke man, and I'm not laughing. First Corbin pins that rodent Syxx, and costs me my chance at the Intercontinental Title, but then the whole EBWF is buzzing because freaking AJ Styles is back. Like really? AJ Styles? That's what people are getting excited about? The same AJ Styles that I've absolutely dominated since like 2013? The AJ Styles that nobody should care about unless he is partners with me? That's what people left Summerslam talking about? What the heck is this place coming to anyway?
Alex Riley: Relax bro- it's a flash in the pan. People won't even be talking about him in a week. He'll probably be gone by then anyway.
The Miz smirked.
The Miz: Well that's a good point. Honestly, I don't get it. I bust my ass for this company, I put god damn asses in the seats. I am this company, I'm the greatest wrestler, the greatest entertainer, the greatest god damn human being in this company and on this planet.. I should be what people leave not only Summerslam talking about, but every god damn event in their lives. People should leave their daughters dance recital talking about me, they should leave the grocery store talking about me.. but are they? No! No! They are talking about AJ freaking Styles. Mr. Phenomenal.. I'm losing it Alex.. I can't help it.. it's just insane.
Alex Riley: Yeah like you not winning your match at Summerslam...
The Miz glared at Riley.
The Miz: I already explained and the whole world saw.. Alex... that I WOULD have won had it not been for that piece of trash Syxx, CONTINUING to show up and suck. Usually I wouldn't care, and I'd laugh at him.. but when it costs me matches.. and notoriety that I have to care, it gets INCREDIBLY annoying. If you can't tell right now Alex, I'm extremely pissed off.. which is bad news.. ONCE AGAIN.. for Dolph Ziggler.
Alex Riley: Speaking of guys who just never go away.
The Miz: Dolph Ziggler may as well be King freaking Kong, it's not going to matter.. this Monday Night I'm going to make a statement. A statement to this entire company that the only person that deserves success.. or attention.. is me. Dolph Ziggler is the sacrificial lamb.. he's the man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Which should be literally no adjustment for him. Dolph Ziggler aside from one very brief flash of success- has been in the wrong place at the wrong time pretty consistently in his career in this business.. or lack thereof. He just can't find a role.. he can't find a way to be relevant.. he can't find a way to be talked about.. other than when people say "man Dolph Ziggler... he kinda sucks huh?" I'm going to do something that most people haven't done for him Al.. I'm going to do him a favor. I'm going to make him matter.. I'm going to make him relevant.. I'm going to make him part of a news story. Unfortunately for him.. it'll be the news story of how The Miz absolutely decimated him to show why HE is the number one most buzz worthy person in this company. AJ Styles isn't even worthy to be a footnote to someone of my stature.. and if he's not.. Dolph Ziggler certainly isn't. This Monday night.. is the beginning of order being restored to this company. I don't have anymore time to waste A-Ri. AJ Styles returning at Summerslam was the wake up call that I needed. It's time for Jimmy whatever his name is.. Sami Zayn.. Corbin.. and all these other new jamoaks have to take notice that they are still in the back of the god damn line. This is still my freaking company, and as Dolph Ziggler has been reminded of countless times.. and will be again at Warfare.. there is just NO place for him or anyone else for that matter.. ANYWHERE NEAR the top of it. You all can smirk out there hearing me say that.. you can laugh.. and say I'm delusional.. but AS FREAKING ALWAYS.. I will have the last laugh. I WILL be the one looking down and laughing at all of you.. when over the course of the next few months.. I start making examples of people one by one.. until the only NAME on everyone's lips.. is the greatest of the great.. the cream of the crop.. your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.. THE MIZ.. and it starts with Dolph ZIggler.
Alex Riley clapped and nodded ferociously.
Alex Riley: Wouldn't want to be him..
The Miz: Why would you? Even aside from this. With every day that passes he gets a little older.. a little slower.. and he gets a little more stale and boring than he already was. With every passing day the "potential" people have always talked about him having.. is shifting into "aw that's too bad's." He hasn't amounted to much of anything in this company.. and I got news for him... he isn't going to anytime soon. This Monday night he's going to go through the ringer like he has basically his entire wrestling career. The reason why nobody cares about him.. is because there's nothing to care about. He's a bleached blonde attention grabber who has Vaseline on his fingers when he goes to grab that attention.. constantly slipping right through his fingertips. He's not talented.. he's not noteworthy.. he's not entertaining.. he's not... well he's just not anything. At Warfare he will be the guy who gets brutalized by The Miz.. which will be followed by him.. well continuing to be nothing again. Have you ever seen a guy.. in your life.. that literally looks like it hurts his brain to have to come up with any words to say in really any situation. I mean sure words come out.. but most of the time you just hear them and you're like...
The Miz switched into a very sarcastic tone..
The Miz: "Yeahhhhh... totally.." I mean seriously this guy is like the EBWF's resident dumb blonde.. and Alex.. he's REALLY REALLY dumb if he thinks anything is going to happen on Warfare besides me absolutely evaporating him and his sorry career from this business entirely. After Warfare the only "show" he's going to be "stealing" is a daytime talk show.. where he tells like Dr. Phil or whoever else.. that he used to be a wrestler. That he used to have a direction or purpose.. but that his direction and purpose was relentlessly halted by The Miz. They will probably reach out for me to be on the show too.. but I obviously will be too busy having an amazing life to have any kind of time to appear on a day time talk show. Dolph honestly.. god even that name is stupid.. Dolph... okayyy look out it's DOLPH!
Alex Riley: Ha like DOLPHIN!
The Miz shook his head in disappointment.
The Miz: No not like dolphin..
Alex Riley: Right.. sorry.
The Miz: As I was saying.. Dolph honestly.. just give it up man. You don't have a purpose or direction.. you would be lying to that day show talk show if you said you did. Well I guess he does have one direction.. down.. he's constantly and consistently going down..
Alex Riley: On dudes maybe..
The Miz: Come on man that's not PC.. what he does in his own time is his own business.
Alex Riley: Sorry again..
The Miz shook his head then smirked.
The Miz: I mean seriously Alex.. it's not like he's ever been a male cheerleader on television before.
The Miz and Alex both looked directly into the camera in unison.
The Miz: As I was saying.. he is going down.. he's been going in one direction.. while probably listening to the band One Direction.. and that is down. I'm talking a steady decline.. that is going to turn into a complete free fall for this guy.. directly out of the EBWF after Warfare. "The Story of his life." Is that people have been talking about what a disappointment he is.. and what he really needs is someone to just put him out of his god damn misery and end this charade once and for all.. so on that note. Dolph.. "I'm perfect for you." That's three One Direction references in the last like 19 seconds..
Alex Riley was jotting down tallies on a piece of paper.
Alex Riley: What I have too.. you're incredible.
The Miz: I am incredible.. I am amazing.. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY STEALS THE SHOW DOLPH. At Warfare this will be something that clicks in your otherwise empty airhead brain.. loud and god damn clear. After Warfare, the only thing you will be "showing off" is your new uniform at your new job at McDonalds. Warfare is the beginning of the end for you.. and the REST of the EBWF. I'm still here.. and come Warfare.. everybody will get a nice loud.. and for you Dolph.. PAINFUL.. reminder of not only that.. but also that
I'M THE MIZZZZZZZZZZZZ ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND I'MMMMMMMMMMMMM
AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The Miz shoved the camera guy down and the scene faded out to static.
The scene opened up in a very familiar setting. It was the "man cave" style basement in the LA home of EBWF superstar The Miz.
