Wake Up. Win. Win. Celebrate

OOC: Here is my RP for KOTR! Best of luck, and happy fourth!
Retribution- since last years Fanniversary The Miz has been on the sideline, watching. This is due to the fact that it was a provision in the match between he and his long time partner in crime, Alex Riley. As fate would have it, a trip to the Final Four of this year's King of the Ring, came down to a match between Miz and Riley. This time it was Miz coming out on top, in a match that for him was months and months in the making. He was on to the Final Four- and in order to come out as the "King" he would have to outlast 3 of the top competitors in the current and recent history of the company. Starting with Randy Orton, who had won the tournament twice already in his career, and held the longest EBWF World Championship reign in the companies history. In the tourney's other semi final, Orton's partner Edge would be going head to head with one of the companies top talents and draws, Jimmy Havoc. It was a Final 4 that was shaping up with a lot of story lines. Would we see Rated RKO come head to head in the final? Would Orton become a three time winner? Would Miz prove that there was no ring rust, and go on a run leading him to becoming the King of the Ring? Or would Jimmy Havoc continue his decorated emergence onto the EBWF scene, with another honor to add to his resume? Time would surely tell, but one thing is for sure, it was going to be MUST SEE.
The scene opened up on a Sunny Thursday in Detroit Michigan. The EBWF superstars had just arrived for EBWF King of the Ring and the city was buzzing with excitement. The camera panned around the outside of the Joe Louis Arena, and then to the streets of Motor City. We finally got to the outside of a rec center with a sign on the outside of the building that read "EBWF: Meet and Greet" The camera went inside the building and there were several EBWF Superstars in attendance already interacting with some local fans. Those fans quickly became even more fired up when dressed in a light blue fitted T, white pants, and a pair of expensive sunglasses, The Miz entered the scene. He had a look on his face that could have said "yes have no fear I have arrived." As a group quickly crowded around him. They were backed off by a group of security guards as The Miz took his place at a booth that had already been set up. There was a stack of pictures and a sharpie pen in front of him. He quickly looked down at it, and stood up on the chair.
The Miz: No.. No I won't do it. At these quote un quote.. MEET AND GREETS. We are supposed to sit down, and then you guys, the fans, tell us how awesome you think we are... we say thank you.. and then we send you on your way. We go out to a lavish dinner, with our famous co-workers, and you all go back to your lives that aren't quite as exciting- and talk about how you met us, and what a thrill it was. That's just not good enough, it's not enough of an experience. We're in a freaking rec center in Detroit- I refuse to play that game, at least not without something a little bit cooler than you guys telling me I'm great.. because NEWSFLASH DETROIT.. I already KNOW THAT!
There was laughter and some light cheers.
The Miz: There needs to be more interaction.. and no offense to these guys over here- but like I will be participating in and winning on Sunday- I'm clearly the Main Event of this Meet and Greet. So right here, right now, while I stand on this chair and show off my amazing balance and calf strength. I want to interrupt this Meet and Greet and perform my very own Miz Q and A- for all of my Mizfits who are here right now. Does that sound good?
There was cheers.
The Miz: That was rhetorical, obviously it sounds good, but I appreciate the interaction already! So let's get this bad boy started!
A girl raised her hand, she was in her mid twenties, blonde, very attractive. Miz chose her first.. no surprise there.
The Miz: Yes I'm single.
The girl blushed.
Stephanie: Good to know...
She quickly remembered why she'd raised her hand. Miz smiled.
Stephanie: Miz- I'm Steph.. My question is.. what's up with The Varsity Club? Are you done with them?
The Miz smirked.
The Miz: I liked the way you phrased that.. and the answer is simple. Last week on Warfare they showed their true colors. I was completely ready to go into that match, and just let the best man win.. but they clearly didn't understand the fire and competitiveness that comes with that statement. I sat on that loss to Alex for MONTHS and MONTHS. I did the guys laundry, I did his dry cleaning, I washed his windows.. do you know how ridiculous that is? I'm not knocking anyone who does that for a living. There's honor in good hard work, and I'm really lucky I get to entertain as my job.. but ME doing ALEX RILEY's chores.. with the implication being that he is better than me.. that's the part that's ridiculous. He beat me.. one time.. it's called a fluke.. they happen. What did it do? It refocused me.. it re motivated me.. it showed me that no matter how great you are.. and boy am I great.. if you take someone lightly.. they can beat you. So this time around, I wasn't going to let anyone stop me. Not Alex- not tweedle dee and tweedle dumb- nobody! Now if they could have just been mature about it, and realized that I'm on a mission to win this tournament.. if they could have been mature enough to know that it wasn't personal and it was strictly out of the spirit of competition.. then things would have been cool. However, Steph, like most jamoaks in this company.. they are sensitive and more importantly they're very stupid. Alex was stupid to let me off of my suspension from the ring to be in this tournament, and the rest of the VC was stupid for driving me out of their group. Now not only am I there to help them be successful, they've made an enemy in me as well, and if there's anyone that you don't want to have as your enemy, it's this beautiful bastard that you all are looking at right now. So short answer, yes.. I am DONE with Alex Riley and the Varsity Club. Just like they'll soon be done with being employed if they do anything but look at the floor when they pass me in the hallways in the back. Hashtag Fact. Also.. call me.
Steph smiled as Miz winked at her. A well built man in his 40's raised his hand next.
Roger: What's up Miz?
The Miz: What's up!
Roger: What can we all expect to see this weekend in the Final Four of the King of the Ring tourney?
The Miz smiled again.
The Miz: A great question. In addition to being handsome, smart, quick witted, and well just generally fantastic. I am also extremely talented at predicting the future. I once called myself Miz Cleo- and that's for good reason. I'll tell you exactly what to expect this weekend. Right now, I'm like a tiger who is out of his cage. I'm a pitbull off of his leash. I'm finally back in the ring- where I belong- and I've done nothing but show why I should have never left in the first place. However, if any of you are stupid enough to think that just beating Alex Riley is enough to satisfy my hunger.. than you all need to grab a snickers.. and get a clue. I won't be satisfied- until I am back on top of the EBWF mountain as the World Champion. So I don't care who or what I have to go through to get there.. that's exactly what you can all expect to happen. I know what's in front of me though, I know that there's some SO CALLED top dogs who are
The Miz was very sarcastic here.
The Miz: "Standing in my way." But it just doesn't matter, it just won't matter. Randy Orton is my first opponent this Sunday Night. Randy Orton- What can you all expect to see in a match between Randy Orton and The Miz? Hm- I wonder... ha! A couple weeks ago he was asking for more competition, and he even mentioned me by name. Well be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. As even he alluded to, I'm slightly better than the absolute goobers he's had to go through to get to this match, and by slightly better I mean, they don't even deserve to give me toilet paper after I take a number dos. The ironic thing, is neither does Randy Orton. It's the same old song and dance as always- Randy Orton comes back and talks about the things he did like 8 years ago. Nobody can figure out if he's trying to be tough, interesting, aggressive, nice.. he's just.. well he's just Randy... which just.. well it just sucks.
The crowd laughed.
The Miz: So he'll talk down to reporter girls, he'll list his resume like he was on a job interview.. and he'll act like he's above everybody that's in this business when it comes to talent. I wait with bated breath to hear Randy talk down to me. I wait with bated breath to hear what kind of things Randy's going to say to make himself truly believe that he's better than the most captivating, must see, superstar in the history of this business. In Randy land, people are supposed to be excited when he competes. In Randy land, if you don't have an arm sleeve of tats, you aren't worth his thoughts and concern. In Randy land, Myspace is still popular. Because by Randy Land- I simply mean 2008. Randy needs to wake up, and realize that we are in 2017, and The Miz could NOT be more back.. which means he could NOT be more screwed. So you guys can EXPECT to see The Miz beating some humility and a dose of reality into that shaved head of Randy Orton. You can expect to see him on the mat in disbelief that he won't be able to add 3 time King of the Ring winner to his "brag for the next 10 years about this" list.. you can expect to see The Miz then go on to ruin his night even further when I easily dispose of his fossil friend Edge, or that weirdo Jimmy Havoc.. making it a miraculous night for me.. and for all of the Mizfits who believe that their hero is going to be crowned King.
Roger: So not at all concerned with the Viper? All he does is win in this type of stage.
The Miz thought for a second. Normally he'd rip this guy a new one. He just seemed a little more friendly today.
The Miz: Nope- not at all concerned my man. I'm really not, because I know what kind of work I've done for this moment. I know what kind of training I've done the best several months while I've waited for this time to shine. I know what I've done, and I know where I'm at. Randy on the other hand, just always assumes that he can just mosey on back into the EBWF and it's going to be the same as when he left it. He always just assumes that it doesn't matter what he does, that he's just going to get the job done.. because he's this mythical god of wrestling in his own delusional head. The problem is, there hasn't been a whole lot of instances where people have given him a reality check.. there hasn't been a time where people have made him second guess themselves. The problem is most guys aren't capable of it.. but Orton knows.. that I'm not most guys. I may not have quite the same resume as his.. but I'm every bit up to the challenge.. I've accomplished a whole hell of a lot in this company.. and I'm the guy that's going to give him a reality check.. I'm the guy that's going to FINALLY make this guy second guess himself.. because I'm MORE THAN CAPABLE of it. Randy Orton walks around this company like he's EBWF Royalty.. like he's ALREADY a King.. and that we are supposed to just bow down to him and let it happen. I don't bow down to anyone.. if anyone is to be admired and worshiped around here.. it's The Miz.. so excuse me Randy if I don't lift you up on my shoulders and feed you grapes.. excuse me if I don't look in awe at you.. and think about how lucky I am to even be in the same ring as you.. Randy... listen close.. PFFT! I would never do any of those things, because I'm not only your EQUAL.. I'm your SUPERIOR. I'd have you feed me grapes.. but I'd rather let Stephanie do that..
The camera cut to that same blonde girl who giggled.
The Miz: I'm better than Randy Orton.. and if he doesn't believe it now.. and if ANYONE ELSE doesn't believe it now. After this Sunday.. they most certainly absolutely positutely WILL!
Roger: Positutely?
The Miz: When you're The Miz- you can totally make up words.
Roger: Fair enough!
There was some laughter from the crowd. A young guy in the crowd raised his hand.
Kevin: Hey Miz, I'm Kevin! So after you beat Orton- you're going to be going up against either Edge or Havoc. Are you as confident against those guys?
The Miz smiled and nodded. You could see his arrogant wheels turning. Once again he took the high road, at least initially.
The Miz: Yes Kev! Definitely just as confident. You just gotta love the King of the Ring and the Royal Rumble- because that means Edge gets to show up, and have nobody even remotely care. He's good though.. I'll give to him.. he's good. He can pick up right where he left off every time. Long hair short hair, big teeth.. small... okay always big teeth. He can always start right back up again, and be successful.. it's just not his year this time though Kev.. it's just not.. because it's mine. I've been through adversity, and I've made it out the other side not only as good as I've always been.. but freaking better. And to prove that I'm definitely going to be running over Orton, and then if it's Edge in the finals well how fun would that be Rated R-K-O getting destroyed by Rated M-I-Z. If it's Havoc.. well then I mean all bets are off..
Kevin: You mean you'd actually be intimidated if it ended up being havoc?
Miz feigned fear.
The Miz: Yes.
Kevin: Really?
The Miz: NO! Not really- Jimmy Havoc is like an extra from Nickolodeons Are you Afraid of the Dark? The answer- no I'm not afraid of the dark- and No I'm DEFINITELY not afraid to face Jimmy Havoc. Period END OF SENTENCE. Jimmy Havoc tries to be the resident creep weirdo- and he acts like that's going to put any kind of self doubt inside of me when it comes to facing him. To that I say.. sorry Jimbo.. I JUST DON'T HAVE ANY SELF DOUBT.. and I just never will. Which makes my weekend plans really really simply. Wake Up. Win. Repeat. Celebrate. Because I'm The Miz.. and well I'm just pretty.. Awesome.
The Miz smiled, as the scene faded out to him continuing to take questions from the fans
