The Big House (Rumble RP)
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:27 pm
It was 2022. Twenty-one years of EBWF and Xavier Woods was entering his first Last Survivor match. It was huge not just for him but all of those who followed him. Royalty needs to be pampered and respected. King Woods had heard all the stories about this event truly changing the lives of those who are lucky enough to win the event. However, Woods also heard all the negative to go along with the event such as it was not for the weak at heart and that losing can truly send you down a path that makes it hard to recover from. Luckily for Xavier, the strength he had was based on his faith, and knowing the ability he had in the ring would be enough to carry him through the event regardless of the outcome. This was going to be one of the biggest speeches he has made in his life. Truth was it was time to speak about everything he learned during this short period of time and how he planned to use that and win the 2022 Last Survivor match earning his main event spot at the biggest PPV of them all. He had struggled to find the perfect location for such an event but eventually, he found a place that has a lot of history and big-time events occurring there most people knew referred to it as "The Big House" located in Ann Arbor, Michigan home of the Wolverines but this time it was home to King Woods historical speech. Woods spent a week posting on Social and local media he wanted a sold-out stadium and he was willing to do anything to get what he wanted. Finally, the day had arrived for him. It was a few days before the Last Survivor match and the entire town had shut down for this. All major media outlets in Michigan and around the country were there hoping that it would live up to the hype. It was a very cold afternoon but perfect for everyone to just relax. The crowd was so loud it was vibrating the entire stadium as they chanted for him and he made his way up the stage located on the fifty-yard line. Woods looked around and waved to everyone as there was another loud pop but as he stepped towards the microphone, he raised his hand trying to quiet the crowd but it did not matter the energy was too much as an airplane overhead gives an aerial view of the event as Xavier begins speaking feeding off the energy.
King Woods: First and foremost, I want to thank all 107,601 of my loyal subjects for being here today. So many times, we get busy and do not realize greatness when we see it. However, you being here shows me the support I have to do anything including winning the rumble. It is nice that all of you appreciate the communication and the art behind it. I stand here to open up and tell you why the future is now and King Woods is the center of the movement. You see I shocked the entire EBWF universe when I declared that I would be the number one entrant in the Last Survivor rumble. I made that decision for a variety of reasons.
He takes the microphone and begins walking back and forth on the stage. He is silent for a few moments as he gathers his thoughts and the crowd chants and cheers as his eyes look up at everyone.
Being the leader I am in EBWF it was important for me to set the standard. I wanted to set the expectations higher than anyone ever has. It is about making the competition better. I noticed it has been lacking and it's why the Last Survivor match needs a leader. I've already been called crazy this week by a few EBWF stars. Most of them doubt that I have what it takes to survive but I will get the last laugh. It will not be easy and I may not win the whole damn thing but it's going to be a classic match that no one will forget and it's all because of me. The other reason King Xavier claimed the number one entrant in this year's Last Survivor is the fact I want to do something no other superstar has done in EBWF history. It is time for someone to break the all-time elimination record and who better than the king of EBWF Xavier Woods. Size does not matter in this event but agility and quickness are an advantage and that's something I excel at.
Even on a cold day, King Xavier was feeling warm. He removed a light jacket he was wearing holding the microphone tight and continued.
Each of you are aware that I must face twenty-nine other men in order to achieve the ultimate victory. I am never one to look ahead. I do, however, know that the second entrant is Chavo Guerrero. Now I respect the story of Chavo and the amazing family history he has but stepping into the ring with royalty is going to be above his skill grade. If this was a dance competition, he might stand a chance against King Xavier. However, trying to outlast King Xavier in a ring is not something that will go well. Chavo Guerrero has a huge ego unlike myself. The expectations he puts on himself are out of this world and rightfully so considering his last name there is a lot of pressure. That's not my problem though Chavo. We have the same objective which is to headline the biggest event in EBWF and there can only be one. You will never find someone more dedicated than me Chavo. I understand work ethic and what it takes to be a winner do you? I've yet to taste defeat and claimed the Breakout championship and you think there is a chance to slip under the radar to win Last Survivor that's not happening.
He calls for a short intermission. The crowd gets up doing whatever they need to as King Xavier leaves for a moment heading into the corridor. He walks into the Michigan locker room and sees all the passion and history throughout the walls. It inspires him even more as he makes his way back toward the stage as the crowd settles into their seats once more. The king stands tall as he continues the speech.
I could keep you here all night talking about just how important this match is for me but I won't instead let me speak about a few men who MIGHT give me a run for my money. This is just my opinion of course and means nothing the moment this match starts. The first threat to King Xavier running the table and becoming the 2nd man to win from the first position is none other than MJF. It won't take long before we meet considering he is the 4th position. This guy is no doubt the biggest talker in the history of EBWF. You see my loyal subjects from the great state of Michigan MJF is nothing but a puppet. He does exactly what he is told. His purpose in the company and life is to stir the pot to try and piss people off. Don't get me wrong the man can wrestle with the best but up to this point he hasn't faced great competition like King Xavier. He will come down the ramp and pound his chest say a few smart comments. It's what he does but reality is MJF I'm better than you and you know it.
The crowd laughs as the king steals his punch line. Xavier continues.
I am not the only guy in this match that has to compete twice. My rival and respected friend Christian Cage enters the Last Survivor match 7th. This guy is a former Breakout champion. I would know considering I'm the one that beat him.
He takes a moment holding the belt up high with a smile.
However, this is not about the past Christian. This is about your future as King Xavier once again rips something from your grasp by knocking you over the top rope and down to the floor. You will look up and see the greatest king EBWF has ever seen. The crowd will cheer and you will leave head down pissed off once more that I outsmarted you. Although that should not be a surprise anymore. You can give yourself any pep talk you'd like. The reality of your situation is that until I retire from EBWF I control your fate, Christian. If you win it's because I let you. If you're successful it's because I allowed it. I was nice the first time around when I kicked your butt for this Breakout title. You got salty and demanded a rematch with me. I granted it because that's the kind of champion I am. No worries though you are going to make history tonight. You're going to be the first person in EBWF history to be eliminated and pinned by the same guy in two separate matches. Life can be cruel Christian but being the king is a blast.
He pulls out a piece of parchment from his back pocket. It is a scroll with the list of competitors as he holds it up high. King Woods begins to examine the list as he continues
My loyal subjects unfortunately I will not be the first one to win from the first position. That feat has been accomplished by Aiden English who enters this event 10th. You want to talk about a jam-packed top ten. You have MJF whose mouth has more accomplishments than he does. Christian who can't get over the past and wants to make it right by beating me. Then Aiden English a man who clearly needs no introduction. He has may respect by winning this event and doing it from start to finish. However, I can do it quicker than you. I can eliminate more folks than you and I will look good doing it. You can use this against me if I don't achieve this that's fine by me. I can take the criticism its what royalty does on a daily basis. King Woods stands tall today confident that you Aiden English are not a concern. You've had the moment and you enjoyed all of it as you should. What makes my declaration different is I'm the complete package! A once in a lifetime star that everyone here and worldwide gets to enjoy every week. The people flock to me Mr. English can you say that? I don't think you can. Best of luck to you though good sir. I hope were the final two so you can feel what's it like to be second best and humbled by the king.
He rolls the parchment up sliding it back into his pocket. He looks at his watch realizing he needs to wrap up the speech.
I know it's getting late and understand that all of you have places to go and people to see. There are two more things I want to discuss with you. The best part of this event is the mystery entrant. I mean who can it be? EBWF has two decades of history and many historical faces. I can't wait to see what is going to happen and truthfully how can anyone not love a little mystery in their life. I predict it's a former world champion trying to rekindle the fire. Regardless it will be a great moment for all of us to share. The mystery guest will be humbled by the king as he gets eliminated.
He finishes the bottle of water and gets off stage. He stands in front of the huge crowd as he turns one time. Taking a deep breath, he makes the closing statement.
This next man should feel honored that I mentioned him. In fact, you are the last person out of my mouth which shows you the ultimate respect knowing how great you are and will be for years to come. This man is competing against me for the Breakout title. It is Adam Cole.
The crowd chimes in with BAYBAY. King Woods smirks.
That's right everyone loves this guy. His attitude is arrogant but confident. He speaks and everyone listens. However, the fact he disrespects my authority as king and demands things is not cool. He doesn't understand how things work around here yet but he will. I know Adam Cole is a prized athlete and EBWF will protect him at all costs. It was only a matter of time before we clashed. Who doesn't love two alpha males beating the crap out of each other for a title? Oh yeah sorry Christian didn't know if I should add you to that considering your personality doesn't speak tough. He might demand things of me which is fine. I have a few demands of my own, I demand you prove you've EARNED this shot? You made false claims that I was avoiding you because I knew you could beat me. Well, if that's the case do it. While you're at it eliminate me from the Last Survivor match as well. You won't though because you can’t. I demand you compete in both matches without any assistance from your posse. I'm not an idiot like you might proclaim. How great can Adam Cole be if he needs help to win? He can't be. I thank you all for your time and tune in to the Last Survivor PPV you will be amazed.
The entire crowd slowly leaves. King Woods stands on stage and eventually is standing there in an empty stadium. He eventually leaves as he gets to the parking lot where the media is still waiting, he makes one final statement to the entire roster.
I know most of the male roster do not acknowledge me as their king. That's fine you are entitled to that opinion. However, the moment I win the Last Survivor match you will have no choice but to bow. Some think I'm a joke but who else is undefeated with a championship currently? Who else backs up everything they say because speaking truth is hard for others to hear? I proclaim being king of EBWF because no one has proven me wrong yet. Show me something fellas I am begging you. Thank you all for coming.
With those final words, he dismisses the crowd. He greets a few of them outside the stadium taking selfies and autographs. It was going to be a huge night for someone he just hoped it was him.
