Still Alive.
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 1:36 pm
This was it, the biggest pay per view of the summer. Summerslam was almost upon us as there was a lot of high profile matches scheduled to take place, and a lot of titles were up for grabs as would be the case for any pay per view. This included the Breakout title that was held by Evan Bourne. Ever since winning the Breakout title two weeks ago on Total Recall, Evan Bourne really hadn’t been seen around in the arena quite frequently after his title win, which might have gotten many people to question his dedication to the company and how proud he really was on being a champion. We were still a few days away from the much anticipated Summerslam pay per view, as several of the Superstars and Divas were split up in either groups or alone to help promote the biggest pay per view of the summer as well as do a meet and greet with the fans of the EBWF. There was a stage set-up just outside of the arena and Evan had the unfortunate opportunity to do his duty on his own by management and he was given the task of standing on the stage and picking out a few members of the fans who were in attendance to answer questions that he would ask to them. Evan was on the stage, sporting a short sleeved t-shirt and jeans and of course he had his precious Breakout title over his right shoulder as he had a microphone in hand. Much to his surprise, a great mob of fans had turned out to this promotional event, holding signs and chanting the names of the favourite Superstars and Divas. Evan proceeds to raise the microphone up to his mouth to speak.
Evan Bourne
Helllllllo Columbia, Missouri! So who’s excited about Summerslam this Sunday?
He proceeds to hold the microphone out towards the packed crowd as the sound of monstrous cheers filled the great outdoors. Evan proceeds to wiggle his left ear, pretending that he was going deaf as he chuckles as he speaks into the microphone again.
Evan Bourne
Sounds like that’s just about everyone, which makes sense since Summerslam in the BIGGEST event of the summer and the superstars and divas get to put on a great show for you amazing fans and of course holding events just like this one to give you fans a fantastic experience. Now I’m going to invite a few fans onto this stage individually and get them to answer a question I ask them. So here’s the first question, who is the biggest Evan Bourne fan. Raise your hand up!
A bunch of people raise their hands up in the crowd as Evan re-adjusts his Breakout title on his shoulder, still standing on the stage area and scanning through the crowd trying to pick out one person and be unbiased. He randomly picks a young female, pointing to her as she carefully makes her way onto the stage, appearing to be quite excited as she kept bouncing up and down as she stood beside him and kept her hands in her pocket.
Evan Bourne
So tell me darling, what’s your name and give me a reason why you think you’re the biggest fan of mine.
He proceeds to crouch down to her level and places the microphone near her mouth, the girl’s eyes proceed to widen as she seemed to be in disbelief standing this close to one of her favourite superstars.
Samantha Jackson
Uhhhhh----my name----is----ummmm Samantha. And I’m your biggest fan because I’ve been following your career ever since you debuted on EBWF and ummmm I have an action figure of you!
Evan Bourne
An action figure? Wow! That sounds really cool Samantha. Did you have the action figure with you right now?
She precedes to nods her head profusely before removing her hand from her pocket and showing him the action figure she had of him, she even allowed him to hold it as he nods his head in approval.
Evan Bourne
Fascinating! Thank you Samantha. And for showing me your action figure, I’ll allow you to touch my championship title.
The little girl proceeds to gasp as Evan inches his shoulder towards her where the Breakout title was as she grazes her fingers over the title, while the fans cheer. She proceeds to giggle as she slowly leaves the stage area after getting the opportunity to touch his title. Evan stands upright and as he proceeds to ask his next question.
Evan Bourne
So who is looking forward to the Breakout championship match between myself and Michael McGillicutty?
Again the fans proceed to burst out in cheers as Evan proceeds to walk towards the edge of the stage and crouches down placing the microphone towards one of the audience members.
Joe Smith
Breakout championship match? I want to see the DIVAS!!!! Also I want to know if Ashley has changed her phone number? She isn’t answering any of my calls!
The man proceeds to cheer and whistle while Evan proceeds to rub the back of his neck as he stands upright, making sure not to randomly place a microphone near someone’s mouth again as the EBWF fans can be unpredictable. He proceeds to pick out another fan member from the audience to join him on the stage as the boy makes his way onto the stage; he appeared to be a teenager as Evan poses him a question on the spot.
Evan Bourne
So, who do you think is going to win the Breakout title match this Sunday?
Shannon Stewart
You are!!!! Michael doesn’t stand a chance and he SUCKS!
Evan gets a good chuckle out of his response as the boy gets down from the stage, with the fans still cheering at a feverish pace as it was evident that nothing was going to wear them down. He decides to take over now as he stands over on the center of the stage raising the microphone up to his mouth.
Evan Bourne
I know I may sound like a broken lately, but on behalf of everyone from EBWF I want to thank all of you for coming out and showing your support. A lot of people including myself wouldn’t be in the position we’re in right now without all of you. Just the sound of thousands of fans garnering a response fuels a lot of the wrestlers and divas to give it their all. And Summerslam is going to be no different! We’re going to put the best performance on for each and every one of you.
He fiddles around with the microphone in his hands as the fans begin applauding at what he had said, he takes the time to talk a little bit about his road to winning the Breakout title as well as his championship defense.
Evan Bourne
As you all know, this Sunday I’ll be defending my Breakout title against Michael McGillicutty. Now despite what we heard from out latest fan member ~laughs~ Michael deserves a lot of credit coming as far as he has come to this point in his career on EBWF. Not even a month into it, and he’s already the number one contender for the Breakout championship which is quite a marvelous accomplishment doing it so quickly, of course he has wrestling in his blood so there’s no doubt that he’s got the potential to make it straight to the top. As for myself, I know I haven’t been the most noticeable champion, I even heard a few friendly joke backstage that people though Trent Barreta was still the Breakout champion, that is until they heard about the matches that were announced for Summerslam.
Some of the audience members begin to laugh which made Evan chuckle as well, as he re-adjusts his Breakout championship over his shoulder and proceeds to conclude his speech.
Evan Bourne
I know that there may be a few concerns about any possible ring rust from being away from in ring action for a few weeks. Now it’s true that I’ve been visiting the gym and training during the couple of weeks off, but of course that isn’t anywhere near the same as competing in the ring in a sanctioned match. I want to put all those concerns to rest and assure everyone that I’ll be ready to go and in high gear from the moment the opening bell rings, to the sound of the final bell. At the end of the match I’ll be standing in the center of the ring with this very same Breakout title held high above my head as I remain YOUR champion. Those who have been following my career rather extensively even before I signed on with EBWF, know that it’s been a long time since I’ve held a singles title before winning this Breakout title so there’s no way I’m going to lose this title without putting up a hard fight! All that will take place this Sunday at Summerslam but right now…there was always something that I wanted to do and I think this is the perfect time to do it!
With that being said, Evan proceed to place the microphone down onto the stage as he charges towards the big mob of audience members and leaps atop of them as they proceed to pass him around and carry him over the crowd, which was relatively easy as he wasn’t the heaviest of men. The scene fades with him wearing an ear to ear smile on his face as the fans continue to pass him around overtop of them crowd surfing.
End Scene One.
Scene Two: A Kiss for Good Luck
The scene was set in the Mizzou Arena in Columbia Missouri. As the Summerslam pay per view was already underway, with the fans witnessing a few great matches already. The camera then pans to the backstage area as the fans in the arena could see everything that was going on from the comfort of their seats as the titantron displayed the entire scene. The fans cheer as they see Maria performing a couple of stretches with her back facing the camera as she placed her leg on a crate and did a few stretches loosening her muscles, as many male members of the audience whistled. She held that position for a few moments before removing her leg from the crate and readjusting her wristbands, it wasn’t too long until someone else would come upon the scene. That person was none other than the Breakout champion Evan Bourne, as the arena erupted in cheers yet again at the sight of him; he had his precious Breakout title over his right shoulder with a smile expressed on his face as he speaks.
Evan Bourne
Hey Maria, I knew I’d find you here at your usual workout spot. What’s so special about this place anyways?
Maria Kanellis
Let’s see now, I’m in my own little zone, it’s nice and peaceful here, and I get to be away from your ‘Spider Evan’ antics.
The both of them share a laugh as she removes her hand from her wrist band and puts her hands on her waists.
Evan Bourne
Very funny, I got to say I’m quite impressed with your jovial attitude. You seem to be calm cool and collective even with a big title match for the Sky High championship later on tonight. However I can see why you’re feeling that way, because I’ve had a first-hand look at your preparation for this match-up and it’s been impressive. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll be crowning a brand new Sky High champion when the match is over.
Maria Kanellis
Aw thanks Evan. I’ve got a ton of motivation after my battles with Layla for that very same title. Now it’s true that I came out on the losing end back then but this time will certainly be different. And I’ll get back at Layla eventually as well as Maryse and Paige for ambushing me two weeks ago, but right now it’s about me and Ash going toe to toe for that title. Ash and I are really close; but that friendship goes out the window once the bell ring and we compete for the title. I’ve heard people say that I haven’t been aggressive enough in the ring, and I’ll show a whole new aggression tonight. But enough about me, you’ve got a big match of your own defending your newly won Breakout title. That title of yours is looking extra shiny! It’s safe to say that you’ve been keeping it in good condition over the past two weeks.
She proceeds to giggle as Evan re-adjusts the title over his shoulder and continues to smile.
Evan Bourne
Don’t tell me you’re going to give me a hard time about not being seeing around much in the arena following my title win. Who knows? ‘Spider Evan’ may have been web slinging from neighbourhood to neighbourhood making sure there is no trouble afoot. ~laughs~ these past couple of weeks off has definitely let me settle in and sink in at the fact that I’m finally a champion, too be honest I still can’t believe it! But I don’t need to be pinched, so don’t get any ideas. ~laughs~ I’ve got my first title defense against Michael tonight and he’s made his intentions known that he’s coming right after my title, and he’s earned a shot at this title on my shoulder as he has the distinction of being the number one contender. It’s ironic that you mentioned the “aggressive” mindset heading into your match-up because I’m going to have to be in the same mindset as well, as he’s going to do everything in his power to dethrone me as champion and I know for a fact that will include bending the rulebook so I’ll have to keep my eyes on him. Anyways, my match is almost scheduled to take place I’ll catch you after the show with your newly won Sky High Championship!
With that being said, Maria leans over and kisses him on the lips as the fans cheer. A lip lock that lasted what seemed like an eternity before she parts her lips from his and looks into his eyes.
Maria Kanellis
Good luck! I’ll be cheering for you.
He simply nods his head as he pats his title reassuringly before walking past her, towards the entrance of the in ring area. This was it, Evan’s first title defense. Would it be a successful one for the high flyer? Or would he just be known as a “transitional champion” for his first title reign on EBWF.
End Scene Two and Roleplay.
OOC: Thanks to Stephanie for usage of Maria, good luck to the handler of Michael.
