My chance to show the world…

[size=7]OFF-AIR[/size]

The scene opens with Mike Howard browsing through wrestling texts, perhaps looking for strategies. Darla is in the room with him, sitting down, looking rather bored.

Darla: Mike, you’ve been reading these books for hours on end now, when are you going down the training ring?

Howard: Be patient, I haven’t finished yet.

Darla: Are you ever going to be finished?

Howard: Maybe, maybe not. It’s a careful procedure reading. You have to make sure that you don’t miss any word.

Darla: People seeing you like this would totally ruin your gimmick, you do realize that?

Howard: That’s why I’m cramming in the books now. Then I can do what I please when that retard Tolly ends up appearing, like he seems to do every single week!

Darla: You’ve got the best part of a week though. Surely it would be better to take your time, and read some bits gradually?

Howard: No.

Darla sighs.

Darla: I sometimes wonder why I bother Mike. What happened to the guy that I met at that restaurant?

Howard: Don’t worry, he will come back next week, once I’ve won the Legacy Title.

Darla: What if you lose?

Howard: Out of the question Darla.

Darla: But why is it? You’ve already lost one to him, it can happen again.

Howard: Girlfriends are supposed to support their partners you know. I read about it.

Darla: I am trying, but you are being way too overconfident. Just finish up the reading, and get down to the ring and train your butt off.

Howard doesn’t respond, Darla sighs again, and gets up, and walks out of the scene. The scene fades with Howard still reading intensively.

-------------------
[size=7]ON-AIR[/size]

The scene opens with Mike Howard, sitting alone in a dark, desolate room. There is a very dim light which is coming from the camera itself. His face is considerably blurred due to this.

Howard: This week on Mayhem, you can witness the destruction, or the reclamation of Mike Howard. You see, you may not like what I do in the ring, and my actions outside, but inside I want this bad. I want this damn bad. I know that Andrew Watts is one of the top guys certainly on the Mayhem roster, if not the EWF Roster. I know that people might think I’m stupid for wanting this match against Watts. I also requested a match where no one can interfere, and damn it Sparks got the job done. This Thursday its Mike Howard vs Andrew Watts, in a steel cage, for the EWF Legacy Title.

You may not know it, or believe it, but this is my legacy. I was born to conquer, I was born to win gold. I’m not going to let Watts deny me of this chance, even if he has pinned me before. This match means so much more then just a title match. This match is for pride. Both of us will enter that ring, wanting to prevail…


All of a sudden the lights turn on, and Mike Howard stands up, seemingly back to his usual ways. The room is very compact, so there is nothing in there bar a camera, Howard, and the chair he was previously sitting down.

Howard: Now Watts, I don’t know who you THINK you are, and what you THINK you can do, but when you step into the ring with The Dominator, you’ll realize what pain really means. Especially when you have no support of your Jebends by Nature slobs. A steel cage will separate us from the outside world. A steel cage will prove your demise. A steel cage will be just a stepping stone in my dominance in the EWF. Thursday Night Mayhem will in time be my show. It will be my area of destruction, by room of violence, and my show to be the victor.

Howard paces around the compact room, not taking many paces at all before having to repeat the process in the opposite direction. Then again, and erm- again. He eventually stops, and looks towards the camera again.

Howard: And once I’ve won the Legacy Title off the Lightbulb, I will defend the title as an honourable and dignified champion.

A few coughs in the background randomly occur, forcing Howard to turn around, looking rather ominously into the background. He slowly turns back around.

Howard: One more thing. After the match I will be holding a party at the hotel just down the road. Of course it is a victory party, and all guests are welcome. Just no one who likes Watts is allowed. I don’t want any trouble during my celebration.

All of a sudden Anthony Tolly, an EWF interviewer walks into the room.

Tolly: Don’t you think you are going into this match overconfident?

Howard: TOLLY? WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

Tolly: It might not do you any favours, swearing on a live broadcast.

Howard: Its not live, it is recorded, I’m changing the bad bits later.

Tolly: Sorry to upset you but I’ve been watching it on the monitor next door.

Howard: HOW DARE YOU! GET OUT OF HERE! GET OUT!!!

Tolly: Not before you answer my earlier question. Don’t you think that you are going into this match slightly overconfident? I mean, you’ve lost to Watts before.

Howard: I’m giving you to the count of three to get out of here! One! TWO! THR-

Tolly reluctantly leaves the room, with a rather grumpy face on him. Howard decides not to conclude the interview, due to him discovering that his segment was being broadcasted live. He quickly turns off the camera, ending the on-air segment.

-----------------
[size=7]OFF-AIR[/size]

Off-air, Howard storms out of the room searching everywhere for EWF Interviewer Anthony Tolly.

Howard: TOLLY! Get your ass back here! You wanna interrupt my segment! You’ll pay, you’ll DAMN PAY!

???: Mike, calm down!

In the background a small-ish figure emerges. The figure can be identified as Mike’s girlfriend, the EWF Women’s Champion, Darla.

Darla: Mike, get yourself together! You got the biggest match in your career on Thursday, and all you are concerned about is some idiot interviewer? You need to put your mind on Watts, not Tolly.

Howard: Yeah, and you need to be thinking about your match this week as well.

Darla: But I’m the champ, I don’t need to scout or any of that crap. You however, have got to get focused. Like I said, it is the biggest match of your career, whatever you say or think. Watts is the top guy in Mayhem right now.

Howard: I thought you were my girl? How can you say that?!

Darla: Look at the power rankings, look at matches between the two of you. He’s ahead of you in both counts. Face it Mike, you are going in as the underdog.

Howard: I’m not hearing anything. What did you say?

Darla: Mike come on. You can take that as a positive. If people think you can’t do the job, and you actually win the match, just think at what that is going to do.

Howard: Whatever. You can ramble on at me later when we are home. As for now, TOLLY!

Darla: Mike, wait!

But it is no use. Howard disappears into the background, and the scene fades with Darla standing, trying to think of another way to convince Howard about the main event.

--------------------
[size=7]LATER THAT DAY…[/size]

At the hotel, Howard and Darla are sitting down, having a heavy conversation about occurrences earlier in the day. Darla, still trying to convince Howard, is starting to realize why Mike is getting so worked up about it…

Darla: I get it now I guess. You want this match so bad, and your trying way too hard to hide your emotions.

Howard: That’s not even half like it. Stop trying to read my mind.

Darla: Stage 1 in matters like this – Denial.

Howard: I’m not denying anything!

Darla: I think we’d better just change the subject now. I’ve tried Mike, I really have. It doesn’t seem to be working. Just, don’t do anything silly on Thursday, ok?

Howard: Yeah sure, whatever.

--------------------
[size=7]INTO THE MIND…[/size]

I’ve been thinking a lot over the last few weeks, just what my purpose is in the EWF. Is it to win titles? Is it to be the top dog? Or is it simply to be the whipping boy? The guy who can’t win a straight match to save his life? I’ve tried to think for a little while now, and still my answer is inconclusive. I suppose the answer will become reality in the steel cage match next week against Andrew Watts. I know Darla has been trying to help me, and I’ve made her upset on quite a few occasions over the last few days, but my mind has been elsewhere. I haven’t been able to think straight. Ever since I beat Morton, in a dishonourable fashion. I really began to think about my purpose in life. But now my mind has hit a crossroad. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to believe.

All I want is to entertain the fans. I realize that this is one of the major roles in life for me. Perhaps they hate my character in the ring, but hopefully it is putting bums on seats. I thought long and hard about the Morton match, and how to entertain the fans on the road to victory. Perhaps throwing the chair to Morton was a bit of a dirty way to win, but it seems to put the gimmick across. Last week, against KamillioN, I used another dirty tactic to win. Winning by count-out is probably the worst way to win, but seemingly not for Mike Howard.

Ultimately the wins have culminated to the steel cage match against Watts. I cannot win by DQ, I cannot win by count-out. It is the perfect opportunity to show my in-ring talents. Let’s be honest, I’ve used dirty tactics to win on numerous occasions. This really might be the chance of a lifetime for me. In a character perspective, and in a personal perspective.

The time has come to show my worth…
