**Hey guys, sorry for the poor showing this week. I waited until the 11th hour to put this together and my wrist is killing me. Good luck to everyone this week!!!**
The video from EBWF.net started with an EBWF logo and a small little exclusive logo at the bottom right. The video faded in on Elias pacing the floor in a green room of a local concert venue. The EBWF camera crew that was following him for the week tightened the shot on his furrowed brow and snarling lip. Elias punched the wall.
Elias Samson: Can you believe this? I’m on the marquee! How can you run out of time for a headlining act? So unprofessional!
Elias turned to the camera and grunted.
Elias Samson: Can you turn that damn thing off?
Cameraman: Boss said we have to catch every minute for the special, sorry.
Elias Samson: What do I do? This would never happen if I was still…
A monitor in the background cut to static. A distorted voice rang out from the speakers.
Voice: Music man… Oh music man…
Elias jumped and turned to face the screen behind him.
Elias Samson: Who the hell?
Voice: I’m not finished with you yet!
Elias Samson: WHO ARE YOU!
Voice: I wouldn’t worry about that, I’m coming for you!
The screen went black and Elias shuttered. He turned to face the camera.
Cameraman: Was that the person who attacked you on Warfare?
Elias Samson: Who else would it be? Yes! Obviously!
Cameraman: Any ideas on their identity?
Elias Samson: Did you not hear me asking? Idiot.
Cameraman: Do you think it could be Andrade Almas?
Elias tilted his head to the side and shook it confusedly.
Elias Samson: No, why would Almas attack me?
Cameraman: You’re scheduled to face him Monday.
Elias Samson: Oh yeah, sorry I had more important things on my mind than him.
Cameraman: He’s a former Gateway Champion, maybe you should focus.
Elias Samson: Yeah, and he fought real hard to keep that title didn’t he?
Cameraman: He faced three other men!
Elias Samson: And, got eliminated first. I don’t think that sets fear into the heart of an opponent. Seems a bit like a joke to me. I’d consider writing a song about him if he wasn’t so beneath me.
Cameraman: Sorry.
Elias Samson: Don’t mention it.
Elias went back to pacing the room.
Elias Samson: Now find someone who can explain how they don’t have a spot for me to perform in front of this crowd tonight because I’m not getting it. How could someone make such a massive mistake?
The video faded to black.
