MATCH THREE
Evan Bourne (c) Vs. Michael McGillicutty
-Breakout Championship Match-
--------------------------------------
P R O L O G U E
[ After crushing Wade Barrett and most recently defeating Austin Aries, Michael McGillicutty was on a high. The young third generation superstar has been ranting on and on about how he is here to provide a “revolution” for EBWF and after two impressive displays McGillicutty is showing that he might not just be all talk. Mike now finds himself in a position to “get some gold around his waist” as he calls it, after his big win on Warfare against Austin Aries, Mike is now the number one contender for the Breakout Championship, and has a date with destiny come Summerslam where he will face off against Evan Bourne. With this match being the next step in his ‘revolution’ Mike was working harder than ever to ensure victory and win his first EBWF title against one of the companies top stars. The only question left to answer is will the revolution live on… Or will Evan Bourne extinguish it before it ever really begins, all will be revealed at a not to be missed SUMMERSLAM! ]

[ BUFFERING…. Isn’t that the worst thing in the world! We sit and wait for this EBWF.com exclusive video to load. The man said to get the extra fast fibre optic broadband but you wouldn’t listen would you, who’s laughing now? As the video loads we scan the page, the title reads “Michael McGillicutty: Post Match Interview” with a scroll of the mouse we can read some of the comments which have been posted below by the EBWF Universe
Bourne2Fly: Evan is going to kick your butt McGillicutty, you don’t stand a chance
StillReal2Me: McGillicutty needs to be pushed more, he’s great on the stick and in ring he’s solid. Just needs to sort that hairdo out however, HOW MUCH GREASE DOES ONE MAN NEED!!!1!!
Bourne2Troll: CENA4CHAMP
[ Suddenly a blast of music comes from the speakers which can be heard from about 2 blocks away. With a startled scroll up we can see that the video is now playing at full volume. With a few sound adjustments we are able to settle down just in time to see a rather sweaty Michael McGillicutty appear into our screen. He is walking back with a huge grin on his face, after all video was taken mere minutes after he beat Austin Aries for the right to be named number one contender for the breakout title. As Mike walks we can hear a faint cry of “Mike….” Which gets McGillicutty’s attention. The camera pans out and we can see the voice belonged to none other than Matt Striker. Striker stands there in a typical short sleeve shirt, with an EBWF mic in hand. McGillicutty stops in his tracks and doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to Striker who begins to speak. ]
THE SMARK || MATT STRIKER
Matt Striker here for EBWF.com, I’m joined by the NEW number one contender for the breakout title, none other than Michael McGillicutty, Mike it’s great to have you with us. What emotions are running through your hea….
[ McGillicutty snatches the mic of Striker who immediately holds both his hands up in a defensive position, indicating that he doesn’t want any trouble. Mike snarls at Striker who doesn’t quite know what he’s done wrong in this situation. McGillicutty chuckles faintly and looks at his boot laces. His head slowly raises up as he begins to speak ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
You know they told me that you are the best broadcast journalist… interviewer…lackey or whatever you want to call your job. The sad fact is that in this godforsaken place you most likely are, but at the same time you didn’t do your homework did you Matt? DID YOU! Just one week ago I informed your colleague Todd Grisham that I will be addressed to as MISTER McGillicutty! Not Mike! We are not chums Matt are we… We’re not BFF’S!... I am the greatest natural wrestler in this companies history and you… You are a microphone stand... that is your purpose. You had your chance many moons ago to be a wrestler just like me… And look at you now… PATHETIC!... WEAK!... ASHAMED of what you have become! Well guess what MATT! Today is your lucky day because you don’t have to be a “broadcast journalist” for about twenty minutes, because I don’t need a mic stand, all I need is this camera in front of me and an audience to preach to… Sooooo if you don’t mind…
[ McGillicutty looked away from Striker and shooed him away with an arrogant swish of his left hand. Matt Striker is simply lost for words, he went to speak, but nothing came out. Wisely he decides that this battle is one not worth fighting and he soon disappears off screen. Once the cameras focus is entirely on McGillicutty, the third generation star seemingly knows it and grins widely. Mike wipes a off the bead of sweat which had been dripping from his nose and also uses his wrist tape to wipe his brow. After one more cocky smile, Mike is ready to speak and raises the mic closer to his well-groomed facial hair ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
VIVA LA REVOLUTIONNNNNN! Austin Aries don’t take it personally, you’re just not anywhere near my league boy. For weeks I have come out in front of the EBWF audience and said EXACTLY what I was going to do, and tonight was no exception! After I pinned Austin Aries down to the mat, proving to the world that I am greater than ‘the greatest man that ever lived’, the first thought in my mind was winning the Breakout Title from that little pip speak Evan Bourne. Now this matchup is a very favourable one for me, not only am I fresh off a huge victory but... I’m yet to lay eyes on Evan Bourne since arriving into this travesty of a company… For those watching who like me, haven’t seen much of this so called champion as of late, let me tell a few things about him, and the four most important things about this match at SummerSlam
[ Mike once wipes the remaining sweat from his brow using the other wrist tape. He strokes his beard and catches his breath, for a man who just completed a growling match against one of EBWF’s finest, McGillicutty hasn’t taken a moment to rest. He raises the mic to his lips again and speaks with a tone which is altogether more serious than the one he was using before ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
IDENTITY! Who is Evan Bourne? I’m not talking about where he’s from, what his hobbies are and what he has for breakfast… I’m talking about his character… How much of a MAN is Evan Bourne. The answer to this one is simple, Evan Bourne isn’t a MAN at all! He is a BOY in a MANS world. Evan you’ve somehow managed to come into this company and get your hands on the first thing shiny that you set your eyes on, namely, the Breakout Title. And isn’t that a prime example of why this company needs to be changed! We have a child running around as a CHAMPION! Now Evan is a big believer is giving the fans what they want to see, now isn’t that just sweet! Awww he cares about the people who watch this show... NEWSFLASH BOURNE! within the next few weeks the only reason people will be watching this show is standing in front of this camera right NOW! I’m not interested in the ‘fans’ that you pander to right now, as far as I’m concerned they’re idiots for tuning in each and every week for the past ELEVEN YEARS to see mediocre television… with mediocre talent, wrestling in mediocre matches. Evan… You can have those idiots but as for me… I’m interested in the ones that come NOW. The result of my revolution will bring a new wave of fans to EBWF the likes this company has never seen before. And I won’t have to ‘pander’ to them, all I have to do is keep doing what I’m doing, go out each and every week, leave it all in the ring and bring home the bacon! THAT’S what people want to see THAT’S entertainment. It’s about a man doing what a MAN does best and that’s talk the talk and then go out and walk the walk. It’s not about a BOY doing cartwheels and backflips in-between making daisy chains and blowing kisses to your fan’s.
[ McGillicutty begins to pace, screwing up his face slightly. Just talking about the biggest match of his career has got him pumped up, and when you combine that with the huge adrenaline rush from just winning his debut match of Warfare… Safe to say Mike is all kinds of amped up. He eventually stands still and stares right into the lens of the camera as if he were looking at us through the monitor. ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
SUPREMACY! At SummerSlam that is a word which will ring through the ears of every single person who watches the Breakout title match. I’m not some kind of hypocrite so I’m not going to stand here and declare that I’m going to beat Evan Bourne to within an inch of his life… That’s not going to happen because what would that actually prove? That I can beat up a child? Why would I worry about wasting my time with yet another footnote in wrestling history when there are bigger issues to address. Once again ladies and gentlemen here is the script for the match… I’m going to go in there and dominate, show my supremacy and make short work of the short man. Evan Bourne won’t be beaten to an inch of his life but believe me... he will be well and truly beaten. I will ensure that the only high flying going on in this match is if I’m the one throwing Evan. This isn’t playtime! This isn’t fun and games! This is WRESTLING! And after I WRESTLE Evan Bourne I’ll prove to each and every one of the superstars in the back that I don’t even NEED the Breakout Title, because my name will have already ‘broken out’ and I’ll be ready to move onto the next chapter of my revolution. And the best thing about the entire match is that… EVERYBODY KNOWS IT! There isn’t a single person with a brain cell to their name that could possibly think Evan Bourne can defeat me ESPECIALLY after the performance I just put on against Austin Aries… This is why I’d like to give Evan a chance and offer him one thing…
[ McGillicutty holds up his index finger to signify the one thing he is offering to Bourne. The seemingly permanent grin which is etched onto his face now contains a hint of arrogance, and he raises his eyebrows only for a second to indicate that what he is about to say is indeed riddled with arrogance itself. ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
An ULTIMATUM! That’s right Bourne, I’m giving you one last chance before SummerSlam. And what this ultimatum gives you is the power to bow out now and simply hand over that title before someone gets hurt… And when I say someone… I mean YOU. Evan I’m sure you’re a nice kid but please for the sake of the future of your career you really need to avoid this match at all costs. Not only are you going to be physically hurting after SummerSlam but also the mental side of things is going to be so much worse. Let me spell it out for you… I…AM…GOING…TO…HUMILIATE…YOU. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Look what happened after I destroyed Wade Barrett, he’s not been the same since! Austin Aries, well I don’t think he’ll be calling himself ‘the greatest man that ever lived’ anymore because they’ve seen that now I’m around in EBWF… The bar isn’t so low, they’ve seen that they can’t do what you’ve done and just… stroll in and take a title as you see fit without EVER earning it. And this is why taking the title from you is so important Evan, you are the first real step in my revolution of this company. No longer will those without talent be fortunate enough to wear gold around there waist. No longer will there be such a thing as a paper champion. Every single title will be deserved through nothing more than hard work and dedication to the cause. Now… my sources have been telling me that even though Austin Aries LOST tonight, he’ll have another number one contenders match for ANOTHER title next week… Now Evan I’m not sure how on earth you got your grubby hands on the Breakout title but I imagine it was something similar. So I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure you that this will be the LAST title match that you… Or any other lackey will EVER HAVE! By the time I’m running this company as the world champion I will have worked TOO HARD and put in too much work to have people tune in to see someone like YOU with gold around their waist. It brings the company down, and deep... DEEP down Evan you must know that… You don’t deserve this.. Come on! Think about it for one second please, look in the mirror… Is that the reflection of a champion… Or that the reflection of a man who should just hand over his paper title to a real champion so we can fix this thing together. Of course… If you’re not willing to I am MORE than happy to take that title of you by force and turn that paper into solid gold!
[ Mike lets out a cocky laugh and throws the mic behind his back, catching it on the other side. Was this a small homage to his late great father Curt Henning a.k.a. Mister Perfect? Mike doesn’t dwell on the matter as he continues to speak through that arrogant smile ]
THE REVOLUTION || MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY
LEGACY! You see this ENTIRE thing is about LEGACY! And I’m not talking about Evan Bourne here because kid you’re doomed to compete in the minor leagues for the rest of time once I have my way around here. No this is ALL about ME! Michael McGillicutty and the legacy that I leave here in EBWF, one that will be renowned for changing this company forever. And that legacy will put an end to people with ‘the look’ getting chance after chance after chance… It will stop false superstars like Bourne getting titles wrapped around their waist for putting some bells and backflips on what otherwise is an average wrestler. We’ve had the golden era, the attitude era and all the other eras under the sun! Well I for one am sick and tired of THIS era, the era of “The Talk”. I’m sure Evan Bourne will talk and talk and talk but he won’t back it up… Austin Aries, he talked and talked and look what happened to him! Here in EBWF the fans are TIRED of hearing the talk so it’s time for a new era… Time to revolutionise this place and usher in the era of “The Walk” or of “The Man” or whatever the hell you want to call it I DON’T CARE because the only thing I care about is ensure that no one in this company is going to speak NAY whisper unless they are sure that they can step into the squared circle and hang with animals like me. For all those wondering “how”… How do you enter into the new era of EBWF… I will leave you with one piece of advise… Stay tuned… Because my legacy… and my revolution has only just begun.
[ Mike takes one step closer to the camera and he quickly looks to his left and then to his right. He leans in closer to the camera and speaks with the faintest whisper which someone still echoes with an air of intimidation ]
