ewa: (MUSEUM) WINGING IT


This one follows the other one (Maculate Perception) related to this match. I don't know, I'm not really a fan of either of these roleplays. I feel that it was taking a bit of time for me to hit my stride in EWA and it didn't help that I was having matches that wasn't finding too particularly interesting. I was delighted to have a number one contendership match for the International Title, but things still just weren't meshing. This is the result. Much of the roleplay centres around the fact the Nic Leone had yet to roleplay (he never did). I was awarded the match, although it never took place. Adam Price, who was the man in charge of things in EWA at that time, had a policy of not even allowing those who didn't roleplay to participate in a match. As a result, there were a lot of canceled matches and this was one of them. I don't agree with that policy, but you can read more about that elsewhere on the site. Anyway, not all that great of a roleplay, but it was still average I guess.

(The scene begins with a video clip. The clip starts off with a black screen that says "The Following Message is a Paid Advertisement and the views expressed are not necessarily those of EWA, this station or it's affiliates." It then fades in to show a promotional video for Inception. A narrator is heard speaking over the footage.)

NARRATOR-
"What makes a champion? A champion is someone who excels at everything they do. A champion is someone who is worthy of accolades. Yet those who are truly worthy are not included in title matches at EWA's first-ever pay per view, Inception."

(The camera cuts to show clips of the match between Lamb of God, Jessie Devlin and Scott Hellings at last week's Implosion.)

NARRATOR-
"Is Jessie Devlin championship material? Hardly. She was incapable of pinning Scott Hellings. Instead she opted to pin a weaker wrestler in Lamb of God. Now Jessie Devlin has a title shot-without even earning it. Scott Hellings was never pinned. He never submitted. But he is not involved in the International Title match. Is that fair? But do you hear Scott Hellings complaining? Of course not."

(The camera cuts to show shots of Nic Leone.)

NARRATOR-
"He knows that he will beat Nic Leone at Inception and become the number one contender for the International Title. And he knows he'll win that title match. No one can beat him. No one has. No one will. Scott Hellings, a superior athlete in an inferior world."

(The camera cuts to show Hellings training in a gym, before cutting to him standing in front of a Canadian Flag, wearing a suit.)

HELLINGS-
"My name is Scott Hellings. And I approved this message."

(The scene then fades out to a black screen again that reads "This message was brought to you by The Scott Hellings Worldwide Publicity Tour and Viewers Like You.")

***************************************************************

(The scene then fades in to show Scott "The Boy" Hellings walking around a large museum. He is an Edmonton Oilers jersey and a pair of jeans. In the background several people are seen wandering around the corridors of the museum.)

HELLINGS-
"A museum is a place where you record history. It is a place where you go to relive things. Now not everything is worthy of being recorded for posterity. No, only the truly monumentous things get preserved in the corridors or written about in all the textbooks. Did you know that such an event is fast approaching? Believe me, it's true. It will all go down at Inception. I'm about to earn my first win in EWA and that is just the beginning people. Why will that be historic? That is because I'll beat Nic Leone and become the number one contender for the International Title. Then I'll win the International Title. And then I'll win the World Title. And before long I'll be the most dominant athlete EWA-or any other wrestling company in the world-will have ever seen. And not only will I be a force in the wrestling ring, but I'll a media juggernaut, thanks to my Publicity Tour.

So I feel quite confident that before too long, I'll be gracing the cover of every magazine, I'll be all over the television and anywhere else you might look. Why I'm sure that it won't be much longer now before Christie's over there in England will be auctioning off my mementos for thousands and thousands of dollars. They'll auction off my socks, my wrestling boots, my old toothbrushes, and maybe even the wrestling tights I'll be wearing at Inception. Those will become very valuable some day. After all, they'll be what I'm wearing when the path to my stardom begins. Yes, you'll all be clamouring for a little piece of The Boy, but for most of you out there all you'll have is your memories and places like this museum to relive (making quotation marks with his fingers) 'The Good Old Days.' Heck, after I'm done, they'll rename the Good Old Days to the Excellent Old Days, because good is an adjective that just doesn't do me justice. After all, I am The Marquee Player, the Franchise Saviour and the Number One Money Maker!"

(The Boy pauses and looks off into the distance, as if envisioning his future.)

HELLINGS-
"But don't worry folks; you haven't missed a thing yet because it all starts at Inception. Yessir, it all starts with a man by the name of Nic Leone. Every wrestler wants to be in a historic match and Nic Leone will be awarded that opportunity. Unfortunately for him, he won't be the guy that people will remember. No, people won't be tuning in to see him. It's me they want and I'll be sure to give all those who purchase the pay per view, as well as all my fans, The Boy Scouts, a night they'll never forget. It will be a night worthy of being enshrined in a museum such as this. That's why I'm here you know."

(The Boy pulls out a directory of the museum and begins examining it for a moment before folding it back up and putting it in his back pocket.)

HELLINGS-
"I'm here scouting potential locations for my very own museum wing. Trust me, I'm gonna deserve such an accolade too. Thousands of people will want to make the pilgrimage to this very museum to see the exhibit devoted to THE Canadian Legend and the One and Only UBERstar! Now I know that most museums don't have a lot of cash to be throwing around, so I don't expect them to build a whole new wing for me or anything like that. Nah, forget that. I propose that they just get rid of one of the exhibits they have right now. Once they put my exhibit in here no one will want to see anything else anyway! Get rid of the dinosaur bones and put 'em back in the ground where you got them! The Egyptians? Forget them! No one's cared about them for thousands of years! King Tut may have been The Boy King, but we all know that there is only one Boy that matters anymore and that's me! Believe me, I am THE Boy and that means I am The Best! See while yesterday might have belonged to some guys whose names you can't pronounce, that was then and this is now. And The NOW belongs to The Boy!

After Inception, the people will see what true excellence is really all about. They'll come to realize that there is no one else out there worth cheering for or worth watching. Everyone else is on a different level than I am-a much lower one. Nic Leone is going to find that out the hard way. And the worst part? There's nothing he can do about it. I'm going to steamroll right over him and he'll be helpless to do anything about it. Or maybe there is."

(The Boy walks several feet to his left and then opens up a door. It is the janitor's closet.)

HELLINGS-
"Well look at that! I seem to have stumbled upon another new hiding spot for you Nicky! I know you don't like to show up or anything. So maybe you can come here and hide in this little closet. Or if you're a little claustrophobic I'm sure there's a few dark corridors around here, you could always just lurk in the shadows until it's all over. You know what? I'm sure you can handle it on your own. I feel confident you've probably already got your own hiding spot picked out already. It wouldn't surprise me if you have your own Nic Leone underground bunker or something like that. Something you can use to hide from your obvious mediocrity. What was I thinking? Of course you've already found a hiding spot! I'd have an easier time finding Bigfoot or Jimmy Hoffa.

But I tell you what Nic-just give me a mailing address. I just need to know where I can send your ribbon. Y'know, my Red and White Ribbon Campaign? To help cope those who've suffered defeat at the hands of The Boy? I've got one set aside for you and I'll just need to know where to send it. I mean, I would just give it to you after the match, but I think we both know that you won't bother showing up, will you? You know what? I might have just figured it all out! I may have figure out your sad little reasoning for not ever showing up! Yes, I think I understand the poor little excuse you tell yourself to make you feel better for not showing up. No one actually told you where the arena is, right? That's it, isn't it? What you try to convince yourself of so you don't feel bad for no-showing week after week? You don't show up because you just can't find your way there. Well you know what you need?"

(The Boy pulls out the map from his pocket again.)

HELLINGS-
"You need a map. Well I tell you what-I'll do you one better and I'll give you directions. Just follow the hordes of people. Look for all the people who look like they're looking for something they've never had. Because that will lead you right to me. What have they never had that I can provide for them? A winner. You doubt me? Well surely you couldn't possibly be a winner because you don't even bother showing up! Oh sure, I know there are people out there who think that I'm acting rather confident for a person who technically lost last week. Technically is the key word there though because I never actually lost. Yes, there are some who think that I am the underdog, perhaps even yourself Nic. And maybe that will actually inspire you to show up, I just don't know. But I think we all know that simply isn't the case and that there is no way you can possibly beat me. I know it, you know it, the whole damn world knows it! Simply put, you're just not in my league; I'm all-Madden and you're still playing peewee flag! Why you don't bother showing up for your matches I can't say for sure, but there is one thing I know; this week I will begin my path towards domination. This week I'll begin a journey so unbelievable that it will be worthy of being recorded in museums such as this."

(The Boy turns to leave, but pauses. He turns around one last time.)

HELLINGS-
"Show up if you want, but it's not important. Why mess with your perfect lack of attendance, right? The bottom line is it won't matter one way or the other Nic. Whether you are there or not, I'm going to pick up the victory at Inception. Why? Because I want to, because I can!"

(The Boy heads toward the exit as the scene finally fades to black.)
