Aiden English: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting edition of Curtain Call! This week I’d like to introduce you to a new series regular joining the family! My close friend and tag team partner last week, Elias Samson.
Elias Samson: Hey youtube!
Aiden English: From time to time Elias will be gracing us with his exquisite musical stylings. I think you are all going to enjoy what he brings to the table. You all of course know my wife Raquel Diaz!
Raquel Diaz: If you’re joining us for the first time, don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell to get notifications when we post a new episode of Curtain Call!
Aiden English: You’ve got this routine down now!
Raquel Diaz: I had a great teacher.
Aiden English: We have a few great segments planned for you on this episode. We’re going to jump right into the first one now!
Raquel Diaz: Thanks for bringing me out tonight. I know we’ve been busy on the road these last couple of weeks.
Aiden English: We needed the time away from the ring alone. I’m just glad we had a few moments without interviews and signings.
Sommelier: My name is Tyler. Can I interest you in a glass of wine?
Aiden English: Yes, that would be great.
Sommelier: And for the lady?
Raquel Diaz: Oh. Yes!
Aiden English: I think I’ll have a chicken piccata or something similar.
Raquel Diaz: I was thinking I’d have something in a red sauce.
Aiden English: Yeah, not me. I don’t want heartburn all night.
Loud Female: Are you serious? You’re going to do that right now? You can’t even go a single night without hitting on someone in front of me?
Loud Male: I can’t help it if people come on to me in public!
Loud Female: You don’t have to return the favor.
Waiter: I am so sorry for your wait. What can I get for you this evening.
Aiden English: Go ahead my love.
Raquel Diaz: Thank you! I’ll have the grilled chicken penne. Light on the sauce please.
Waiter: Of course.
Aiden English: I’ll have the chicken piccata and can I get a glass of water please?
Raquel Diaz: Oh yes, I’ll take a water as well.
Waiter: I’ll go and put your order in and I will be right back with your water!
Aiden English: Thank you.
Loud Male: Do we have to do this every night?
Aiden English: We get one night out and these two are going to ruin it.
Fake Paige: That woman hit on you and you flirted back! You do this everytime we go out together!
Fake Seth: They hit on me when I come out alone too! Everyone hits on me, because I’m just so amazing!
Fake Paige: You’re a jerk!
Aiden English: Would you two mind taking your domestic dispute outside? There are paying customers trying to eat here!
Fake Seth: I’m the King of the Ring! You can’t tell me what to do.
Aiden English: I’m asking nicely, King. Not just for me, but for everyone trying to enjoy their food in peace.
Fake Seth: I don’t care about everyone else!
Fake Paige: You tell him honey!
Aiden English: Hey! Take it outside or keep a lid on it!
Fake Seth: You’re just mad that I won the King of the Ring and you couldn’t even make it to the finals!
Aiden English: Yeah. But, I’m also tired of listening to you talk.
Fake Seth: So do something about it Drama boy!
Fake Paige: You idiot! You could have hurt him. He has a big match coming up this week.
Aiden English: Nah, he’s just going to lose Monday.
Fake Paige: You can’t beat my beau without bringing help to the ring.
Aiden English: If that were true I’d bring help to the ring. It’s not though so he’s no need to worry about anyone else.
Fake Paige: He’s not worried about you! He’s the King of the Ring and I’m his Queen!
Aiden English: Yes, he’s the King of the Ring. I know, it’s all he can talk about lately. Honestly, it’s for the best that he’s stopped talking about the Breakout Championship because that’s mine now.
Fake Paige: You just wait and see!
Raquel Diaz: Do you ever shut that ugly mouth of yours Paige?
Fake Paige: You know Aiden, you and your stupid wife deserve each other.
Aiden English: You should think about getting back into the ring. With moves like that you’d be sporting gold in no time. The big wigs would have no choice but to elevate you to the top right away!
Raquel Diaz: I’ll keep that under consideration. Let’s get out of here though. I don’t want to eat anywhere trash like this is allowed in the door!
Aiden English: Ladies and gentlemen. Domestic abuse, even emotional abuse is no laughing matter. If you or someone you know is being abused, please seek help immediately.
Disembodied Interviewer: Please, introduce yourself for everyone watching.
Ryan O’Hare: Hey, I’m Ryan O’Hare.
Frank Woods: And my name is Frank Woods!
Both: We are Tennessee Two-Step!
Disembodied Interviewer: So, recently you were both featured on an episode of EBWF Warfare, how does it feel to get that call and how did that come about?
Ryan O’Hare: I’m not sure how it got started but Aiden actually did a lot of the leg work. He shopped around to some local promoters looking for a tag team.
Frank Woods: Yeah, they had a quick build to the introduction of Elias and brought us on to help with that.
Ryan O’Hare: I think at one point English said that there was talk about him partnering up with another superstar before Elias signed on but that all changed quickly.
Disembodied Interviewer: Do you think the EBWF will have you back in the future?
Ryan O’Hare: I hope so! They pay better per night than the local scene!
Disembodied Interviewer: Care to give a number?
Frank Woods: Nope! The contract says that we’re not allowed to.
Ryan O’Hare: On top of the monetary compensation, we got to rub elbows with some of the best wrestlers in the industry backstage. That experience alone is invaluable.
Frank Woods: And, we’re working to get back on an EBWF show in the future.
Ryan O’Hare: We’d like to do a little more work with Aiden and Elias.
Disembodied Interviewer: Is that a challenge of sorts?
Frank Woods: Absolutely! I’ll pack my bags and head for South Carolina now!
Ryan O’Hare: Actually, the shows in North Carolina this week!
Frank Woods: Damn, always get those two mixed up!
Disembodied Interviewer: Actually, I talked to Elias before the interview and he said to send one of you on to Greensboro and he has a spot for you.
Frank Woods: It’s my turn!
Ryan O’Hare: Alright. I’ll take the next solo call!
Frank Woods: YES!
Ryan O’Hare: I’m kind of sore that you’re going to be at Warfare when there are two HUGE title matches!
Disembodied Interviewer: So do you both actually follow EBWF? If so, who are your favorite wrestlers?
Frank Woods: Oh yeah! I’ve always been a tag fan so I love Tommy End and Michael Dante.
Ryan O’Hare: I tend to favor the high flying wrestlers. I like Matt Hardy and Seth Rollins.
Disembodied Interviewer: Are you going to be watching the Seth Rollins and Aiden English match this week?
Frank Woods: From the back!
Ryan O’Hare: Rub it in huh? I’m excited to see how this match goes. This title match has been in the works since before King of the Ring!
Disembodied Interviewer: That’s all the time I have to interview you this week. Thank you both for your time. We will catch back up with you soon for more questions. Be sure to let all of your fans know you’re going to be on tv again!
Aiden English: Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Sights and Sounds Orchestra.

Ain’t too scared to shoooow.
A long time in the making,

EBWF Facebook Live! with Renee Young
Monday 7/30/18 an hour before Warfare!
Greensboro, North Carolina
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renee Young: Thank you to everyone joining us on Facebook Live! If you’re watching this after the stream has ended make sure you comment replay and let us know! I’m Renee Young and my guests at this time are Aiden English, Raquel Diaz and new EBWF superstar Elias Samson. Thank you all for joining me here, I know you have a big night ahead of you Aiden as you finally go one on one with Seth Rollins for the Breakout Championship. What are your thoughts on that HUGE matchup tonight?
Aiden English: Well it seems to me that the time is finally at hand for Seth Rollins to hand the Breakout Title to the rightful champion! It is time for me to begin my first title reign in EBWF. It is time for Seth Rollins to stop running his mouth! But he wont. See, he gets his kicks from running around telling everyone that I and several others have over inflated egos when he has the biggest head in the industry. The biggest ego and the biggest disparity between how good he is and how good he thinks he is. Now Renee, I know Seth grew up in Iowa and Iowans aren’t exactly known for their.. vocabulary. So let me explain that in a way he might understand. Seth Rollins thinks he’s the best in the business. SPOILERS! He’s not. I’m sure he’s going to have a lot to say about King of the Ring. And, I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t win King of the Ring. In fact, I didn’t even make the finals. No, Tommy End took me out of the tournament. Tommy End kicked my head off like he did to Jimmy Havoc. But, let’s be clear because Seth is going to try and paint this in a certain light. A very incorrect sort of light. Tommy End beat me. Seth Rollins did NOT beat me. Seth Rollins HASN’T beat me, Seth Rollins WON’T beat me and Seth Rollins CAN’T beat me. See Seth is going to try and tell you that because he beat Tommy End and I didn’t that means he can beat me. What Seth won’t tell you is that I lost to a fresh Tommy End and the End that he beat wasn’t even at fifty percent. I took Tommy End past the limit and we tore the house down. Then Seth got a Tommy End who struggled to find his own feet in the finals. Seth didn’t struggle against Jericho like End did against me. Not, because Seth is great but because, and no disrespect to Jericho, but he’s a little past his prime. So Seth beat an exhausted Tommy End when he himself was still operating at almost his full potential. Seth Rollins is going to push this agenda down your throats. He beat Tommy End, End beat me so basically he beat me. But, and I think you all know this, Jimmy Havoc proved a couple weeks back that there is no LAW OF EQUIVALENCE in professional wrestling. That’s right, I’m an educated man Renee. Beating wrestler A, who beat wrestler B, is not the same as beating wrestler B. No, when Seth came up against Jimmy Havoc, who had also lost to Tommy End in the King of the Ring tournament, he got BEAT. He got beat, he took a week off and now he’s coming back to get beat again. He knows it, I know it and now you all know it!
Renee Young: You have had a lot of harsh words for the Champion for several weeks. Based on my interactions with him over the last couple of months, he doesn’t seem overly concerned about you.
Aiden English: That’s all an act Renee.
Renee Young: Maybe he just doesn’t find you to be a threat.
Aiden English: He didn’t think Jimmy Havoc was a threat either Renee and you see where that landed him. Speaking of Jimmy Havoc, I’d like to extend a congratulations his way for his own number one contendership. A congratulations and a good luck in his match tonight. What a brave new world it would be if Warfare kicks off next week with two brand new champions in Aiden English and Jimmy Havoc. In fact, if that happens I promise the EBWF Universe that they will be treated to a CELEBRATION unlike anything they have ever seen before. They will be treated to an event ten times better than any hair brained coronation they’ve seen this year.
Raquel Diaz: It doesn’t matter if Rollins considers my husband a threat. I think Aiden has made it clear that Rollins and the rest of the inhabitants of his home state aren’t the brightest crayons in the box. What he thinks and the truth of the matter are two very distinct things. Rollins can run around from arena to arena and deliver the same uninterested promo he has been giving you since Aiden claimed the number one contendership. He can pretend he doesn’t know who Aiden is. He can pretend to be disappointed. He can make any claim he wants about my husband not earning this title shot. None of that matters when Rollins climbs into the ring with a real King, the Drama King. Seth is going to get beat because Aiden is a threat, he’s always...
Aiden English: He’s going to tell you I’m nothing to be worried about. That he has no respect for me or my skill. He’s going to claim he’s focused on the Miz. He’s not fooling anyone Renee. Seth Rollins is about to get the shock of his life. I’m taking that title tonight and you can take that check to the bank.
Renee Young: And you go right back to the verbal attack on Seth Rollins. Seth has said several times that you are a big talker.
Aiden English: I’m sure he has, he likes to talk big about everyone else talking big. You want to know what else Seth is going to lean on when he talks about me? He’s going to bring up the fact that all my big wins have questionable finishes. How I had to bring in Ciampa to beat the monster among men. I had to use illegal maneuvers to beat the Viper. And, for the most part all of that will be true. I don’t deny that I’ve used everything at my disposal to win in the EBWF. I openly admit that I don’t always follow the rules. But, when Seth makes these kinds of claims he’s simply expressing that I’m a smarter and more motivated wrestler than he is. He’s highlighting the fact that I’m ever hungry while he’s riding out the success he’s already achieved in my absence.
Aiden English: More than likely he’s going to parade Paige out here and talk a big game about them being the King and Queen of EBWF. Maybe he’ll even make disparaging remarks about my wife like he tried to about Zahara. That would be a fatal mistake for Monday Night Rollins.
Aiden English: A FATAL MISTAKE.
Renee Young: Fatal?
Raquel Diaz: That’s not what he means? It’s a figure of speech and not a death threat. My husband respects Jimmy Havoc, but he’s not Jimmy Havoc. He’s not out here to talk about killing anyone or maiming anyone. He’s here to talk about winning wrestling matches!
Aiden English: No, let me speak on this before it gets taken out of context!
Renee Young: Please!
Raquel Diaz: Dial it back six or seven notches love.
Aiden English: If Seth Rollins has something to say about my wife, let him say it. Let him throw away his career and all its possibilities. Let him run his mouth and motivate me to do more than take his title. If you’re listening Seth, I’d caution against talking about my wife in the manner you talked about Zahara! I’m going to take MY title either way. But, you say one word about my wife and your parts unknown in the same sentence and this little back and forth we have is going to become a much more personal exchange!
Renee Young: Do you really think it’s likely that Rollins will say something about Raquel?
Aiden English: Seth Rollins or Paige herself may have something to say. It seems to be their modus operandi when dealing with other wrestling couples. It’s not something I’m willing to rule out and it’s not something I’ve looked into yet. For all I know he’s already said something and I’m bringing him this warning too late. Has he said something about my wife to you Renee?
Renee Young: No! Nothing!
Aiden English: I’ve been hard on you in the past. Hell, we’ve both been hard on you. I wouldn’t fault you for keeping it a secret if he did.
Renee Young: Nothing, I promise.
Aiden English: I dig the honesty Renee. Let me reward that now by admitting something you might not expect from me. I respect Rollins for the pedestal he puts Paige on. That’s the way a man should view his significant other. It’s one of the few things I’m willing to admit that Seth and I have in common. The other things include the fact that we grew up outside the business, a virtual stones’ throw from each other in Davenport and Chicago. Furthermore he’s with Paige. A woman from a wrestling family and raised to be a part of the industry. Her family is wildly famous in Norwich and maybe even the whole of Norfolk! Thanks to Paige’s work in the states that fame may even spread across all of England to a lesser degree. I’m married to a woman also born and bread to be a part of this industry. My wife was born into the Guerrero Dynasty! A legendary wrestling family that has achieved fame and success on a global level. Her father, the late great Eddie Guerrero was an ICON of his time. A legend with a laundry list of title reigns and accolades.
Renee Young: Is that a topic you two are willing to talk about?
Raquel Diaz: Yeah, it’s not a secret who my parents are.
Aiden English: Anytime I can brag about this catch I will!
Renee Young: How does your connection to Eddie Guerrero factor into this match?
Raquel Diaz: If you don’t mind my love. I’d like to share something.
Aiden English: Go ahead.
Raquel Diaz: Aiden has a love for wrestling like you wouldn’t believe. He spends hours upon hours watching other wrestlers. When he goes in to review tape on an opponent, he pulls matches from people with similar styles, legends he wants to live up to and wrestlers who have beat his opponent in big matches. I always find him watching one of dad’s matches while he’s preparing a meal or listening to an interview or segment while he’s in the gym. Aiden English lives wrestling, that’s why he’s so amazing in that ring!
Renee Young: This is a side of yourself you hide from the fans Aiden. Why is that?
Aiden English: I’m a private person outside the ring.
Renee Young: So is it safe to say Eddie Guerrero is one of your idols?
Aiden English: Obviously! It’s my respect and admiration for my wife and my late father-in-law the influences my style and my tactics. You see, Eddie left this industry with advice on how to make it to the top. He left a road map to achieve the kind of success he had. It requires a couple of different things that I bring to the ring and Seth Rollins just doesn’t. It requires a very minimum level of charisma which Seth isn’t capable of mustering. It requires a sort of understanding of your limitations, your strengths and your opponent that Seth can’t comprehend. More importantly, it requires a moral fluidity that I have put on display in the past and Rollins likes to point out as a weakness. You see Eddie was fond of a certain turn of words. Lie, cheat, steal. Anything required to seal the deal, get the pin and walk away with the win. Seth Rollins doesn’t understand that you have to be willing to get things done by any means necessary in order to become a true legend in this industry. That’s why he’s never going to amount to anything more than a flash in the pan. He may burn bright now but eventually he’ll burn out and ironically enough everything he’s built will get burnt down. BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, Seth. I am coming for my title and there’s nothing you can do to stop me from taking it. You see, all is fair in love and war. You’d do well to keep that in mind while your running around talking about how I can’t win a fair fight. A fight is a fight, a win is a win and record books don’t lie.
Renee Young: What do you say to the fans who share Seth’s distaste for your actions in the ring?
Aiden English: EBWF Universe. Say hello to your new Breakout Champion! Winning is what I do. You don’t have to like my tactics. You don’t have to like me. You can boo and jeer all you want to. I’m going to win, I’m going to keep winning. You’re stuck with the Drama King!
Renee Young: There has already been talk that Elias figures into your plan to win the title tonight. Is there any merit to this?
Aiden English: Maybe! Why would I give away my plans so close to the finish line? You think I’m some sort of Bond villain? I don’t have a long monologue about my plan to take down Seth Rollins that gives away some key element and allows him to steal victory at the last minute. No, I have a plan in place for Seth Rollins and it’s a simple plan. Win.
Elias Samson: I don’t think I need concern myself with Rollins this week. Aiden’s got this one under control. See i’m not here for Seth and I don’t plan on being ringside for his match with Aiden tonight. No, Renee. Let’s bring it back around to the relationship talk. I liked that conversation. I’m going to be in the back with my guitar, looking to light my own flame in the EBWF. Rollins has Paige. Aiden and Raquel are just the cutest couple ever!
Elias Samson: It seems like everyone in the EBWF has a significant other. Everyone that is except me, Renee. I’m going to look to change that tonight. You know, maybe you can help Renee. I’m sure you’ve got the scoop on who’s a free agent!
Renee Young: I’m not sure I want to be involved in your love search.
Elias Samson: I understand completely. You know if Liv Morgan is single?
Renee Young: Yeah, I’m not helping even a little!
Elias Samson: You come and find me later if you change your mind!
Renee Young: He’s a character!
Raquel Diaz: He grows on you Renee. Just give him a chance.
Aiden English: Hey! You two are talking about one of my closest friends!
Raquel Diaz: I know my love, I didn’t mean anything by it.
Renee Young: I’m not surprised that the two of you get along to be honest.
Aiden English: What is that supposed to mean?
Renee Young: Nothing, I’m sorry. Let’s get back on track. Any last words for the fans watching live or Seth Rollins?
Aiden English: I’ve got nothing left to say about Rollins. I’m already in Greensboro. I’m already dressed for the match. I’m not looking to the horizon. Seth Rollins and the Breakout Championship are my sole focus. Tonight I claim my first title of many to come. Mark this date in the history books so you can come back to it when I’m giving my hall of fame acceptance speech.
Renee Young: Thanks for your time and thanks again for everyone joining us on Facebook Live! Make sure you tune into Warfare tonight to see Aiden English take on Seth Rollins for the Breakout Championship and Jimmy Havoc take on Dalton Castle for the Gateway Championship!
