Greatness.

Jimmy Havoc stands outside a doorway with his usual skinny jeans, black T-shirt and black Aviator sunglasses. As the scene opens up, he is standing in a hallway with a lot of people on hand with polo uniformed shirts. This appeared to be backstage at the Air Canada Centre, the site for the next EBWF Warfare show.
Jimmy removed his sunglasses and opened the door, the room was lit up brightly with a table in the middle. One chair closest to Havoc was empty and the other chair adjacent was filled by Michael Cole who had 2 large burly men behind him.
Jimmy Havoc: Michael…
Jimmy looked at the two men.
Michael Cole: These are to be blunt, my bodyguards from you and Braun.
Jimmy sarcastically looked behind himself.
Jimmy Havoc: I haven’t brought Braun, he’s a big boy he doesn’t need me to escort him around everywhere. I don’t him to fight my battles either, plus I can probably take both of them.
Jimmy smiled and sat down, placing his glasses on the table.
Jimmy Havoc: Shall we get started before my bloodlust becomes too much?!?!?
Cole gulped and ushered the cameramen into the room with a bellow. They set up and Michael Cole got rolling. The perspective switched to that of the camera.
Michael Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen, EBWF Universe, I am proud to bring you an exclusive interview with One half of the Tag Team Champions and the current Gateway Champion…Jimmy Havoc! Jimmy?
Jimmy nodded.
Michael Cole: Well, let’s get right into it. Jimmy, you found out last week that your opponent at Death Before Dishonor is none other than “The Destroyer” Samoa Joe! How do you feel about that?
Jimmy ran his hands through what was there of a stubble.
Jimmy Havoc: Well, first off. Let's do away with this “Destroyer” bollocks. What exactly has he destroyed? He won the Rumble, sure but then failed at Mania and couldn't even beat Alex Riley 1 on 1. The only thing Samoa Joe has destroyed is the bathroom in his dressing room. To quote a legend and a dear friend of mine…
Jimmy coughed to get ready for what he was about to say.
Jimmy Havoc: HE’S FAT!
Michael Cole: With all due respect, Jimmy, Samoa Joe cost you your match last week. He laid you out with a Muscle Buster, allowing Enzo Amore to get the victory. Aren’t you worried he will take you out again at Death Before Dishonor?
Jimmy Havoc: Let’s get one thing straight. Samoa Joe blindsided me, I was distracted by Enzo and our corrupt GM Jericho. Come Death Before Dishonor I can guarantee Joe will get my full attention and it won't act out the same way, I can promise that. Joe only seems to work when blindsiding people, what's his record in actual matches in EBWF? It's abysmal, to say the least. Are you going to kiss Joe’s arse for much longer Michael?
Cole refused to rise to Havoc’s bait.
Michael Cole: Let’s talk about your match tonight. The King of the Ring tournament is officially underway and in your first round match, you’re going up against your former teammate, Baron Corbin. What are your thoughts on facing Corbin given your history?
Jimmy became disgruntled at the mention of his former brethren, he spat at the ground.
Jimmy Havoc: Baron Corbin is… Baron Corbin is…
Jimmy sighed.
Jimmy Havoc: Baron Corbin was my brother. He was to be destined for greatness by my side. He called himself the Lone Wolf when all he was, was one of the sheep he supposedly hunted down and burned alive. Baron Corbin was someone I called a friend until he showed me he wasn't ready, sure I was the one to get rid of him but...it was all his own bringing. He brought his own justice down on himself, Braun was just the harbinger. Me and Baron have been friends and enemies, we've went to war together and stood across each other on the battlefield. One thing was always the same however, Jimmy Havoc came out on top, every single fucking time!
Jimmy Havoc began to get visibly angry.
Jimmy Havoc: Look, last time me and Baron were in the same ring together Braun got to dish out the punishment. However, it's my time to do so. Baron Corbin has came back at the wrong time in the wrong fucking match, he wants to stop the King of the Goths from claiming his rightful throne? He can bloody well give it a good go, but we all know what the outcome will be. Baron will do what Baron always did when he had no guidance, he becomes brash and doesn't think properly. These are advantages for me, I will manipulate Baron Corbin in the way that sees fit for me. Alright?
Michael Cole: You certainly sound confident, Jimmy, not only that you’re going to win your match tonight… but you sound confident of winning the whole tournament. It would certainly be a great achievement, becoming King of the Ring at the first time of asking.
Jimmy smiled sadistically.
Jimmy Havoc: Michael Cole, I have been here for just under a year now. The anniversary of Jimmy Havoc is upon us, but shall we take a trip down memory lane? I am a former Breakout Champion, TWO-TIME Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion, Tag Team Classic Winner, Path to Glory Champion and your current Gateway Champion. I have beaten Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, PJ Black, AJ Styles, pinned Chris Jericho, The Dudley Boyz, Alex Riley, The Miz and the list goes on. What I am trying to say is, whilst winning King of the Ring is certainly a great achievement for anyone. Especially considering it's pretty much made for me and do you know why Michael Cole? Let me answer that for you, it’s because I am fucking great. I am not one of the greatest, the greatest superstar to ever step foot in those ropes Michael Cole. I have put this company on my back and when it needed time for me to put up or shut up, you damn know well I put on some of the greatest matches this company has ever seen. Even down to the ladder Match a few weeks ago, we tore the goddamn roof off and this company knows I'm a guaranteed match of the night because I put the bloody work in, in and out of the ring, I am headed for things beyond your capable imagination Michael Cole. I am Jimmy Havoc, The King of the Goths, The Bastard, The Leader of the Broken and the Damned, The Constant, The Omnipresent...The Prick that drives the ship. I am going to be crowned King, I am going to win every Slammy available to me, I will take the EBWF Championship from whoever holds it. Then, when Chris Jericho’s plan fails, I will take his job and beat him...again. I will run this company Michael Cole, be sure of that. Your nightmares are only just about to start getting good, once I'm finished what I started.
