Evan Bourne
Tonight is another opportunity for me to get in contention for some championship gold. I’m well past the pain and agony of losing the Breakout title last month to Michael McGuillicuty. It’s time to set my sights on a new title and that is of course the Path to Glory title that I have a chance of earning contention for tonight. My last match against Ted for the Path to Glory title was a disappointment for sure as I came out on the losing end of it, but I won’t duplicate that same lackluster performance tonight as this is the big stage at a pay per view and I can’t afford to suffer a loss here tonight. It’s time for me to come out in the clutch and pull out a victory when it matters the most.
Evan proceeds to switch stretching exercises as he proceeds to stretch the muscles in his legs now, paying close attention to his calf muscles as he relied on those a lot to hit his finisher, the Air Bourne shooting star press.

My opponents for tonight are Christian and Kurt Angle. Two veterans of the wrestling industry, not to mention very accomplished wrestlers, winning a multitude of championship gold so they’ll be just as hungry as I am to come out victorious and be one step closer to the Path to Glory title themselves, Christian already has a pin fall victory over me in a previous encounter so he’s definitely going to head into the match with a lot of confidence, while Kurt is a man that I haven’t gone up against but I don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that he’s a very talented athlete, winning a gold medal for this country in this very city.
He switches stretches once more as he works on his arms now, which he didn’t use much in his arsenal of moves during his matches as he was more reliant on his quick footwork, but of course the arms were important for himself to climb up and down the ropes as well as bounce off of them as he continues to speak to himself.

I’ve approached all my matches as ones that can make or break my career and this one will be no different. A win tonight and I’ll have earned the right to compete for the Path to Glory title; a loss however…well I’m not even going to think about losing as I have the winning attitude. At this point of my career in EBWF I have more losses than wins which is simply unacceptable and isn’t going to do me any favours when it comes to my quest to win championship gold and establish myself as one of the best athletes in the wrestling industry. At every level of my professional wrestling career I’ve had critics tell me that “I’m too small” or “I don’t have a strong enough work ethic to succeed in the wrestling industry”. Tonight is my chance to silent those critics and prove once and for all that I am capable of winning when the stakes are high. Now I probably don’t live and breathe wrestling like Kurt Angle or have the experience and swagger of Christian but I’ve got the will power, the drive and determination to keep chugging along and win matches when everything is on the line
Evan now stops stretching completely as he walks over to his locker room stall, taking his wrist padding and putting them on. He was already in his ring gear as he takes his sleeveless shirt from the stall and puts it on, now expressing a look of determination on his face as he crouches down in front of the bench that was in front of the stall, almost in a prayer position as he ducks his head into the closed fist of his hand, muttering a final few comments to himself.

This is it Evan, it’s now or never. It’s time for you to jump up and grab that shining star of opportunity that is presented to you. All the worries, the stress, the past failures and accomplishments alike will not matter if you don’t come out with the victory tonight. You’ve got the talent, you’ve got the ability, you’ve got the momentum on your side, now it’s just the matter of going out there and displaying all that and more in the triple threat match. Kurt Angle may have an Olympic gold medal and Christian may have his past success in the championship circle but all that will be nullified when I go Air Bourne and punch my ticket to a Path to Glory title match in the near future. Right about now I’m on the ‘path to winning’ and that path starts right NOW!
With that being said Evan now stands upright and makes his way out of his locker room with the scene fading to black.
