Note - This role play contains a section involving a firearm. This is intended as a joke about a naive man overreacting to a situation that scares him. Apologies for any offence caused.
Interior of a hotel conference room, banners, balloons and decorations litter the room as people all gather and chat amongst themselves. In walks a defeated looking Kyle Williams, he immediately pops a balloon and slaps some cake out of a child’s hands.
Employee: Sir please! This is a 4 year old's party! You hired the room next door.
Kyle: Oh. Right.
Kyle sadly walks towards the door leading to the adjacent room, as he does he slaps another portion of cake out of a kids hands who immediately starts crying. In the next room is a singular banner reading ‘Congramulations Kyle!’, a bored looking woman in her late 20’s with a cameraman and a mariachi band who start to play as he trudges through the door.
Kyle: Cut it out! I didn’t win!
The band stop playing except the trumpeter who keeps going for a moment before petering out. The woman approaches Kyle, her name is Tilly Hughes and she runs fairly popular wrestling YouTube show: Wrestling WroundUp. Kyle contacted her to give her an opportunity to be able to conduct his first post-champion interview for her show. She gives him a weak smile.
Tilly: Well what happened?
Kyle: What do you think happened? I got thrown out!
Tilly: Did you at least get some eliminations in and show everyone what you can do?
Kyle: Oh..yeah…like 30 eliminations, they said it was some sort of record.
Tilly: You know I watched it on TV right?
Kyle: Well some guy eliminated himself whilst I was near him so that counts.
Tilly: I guess? What’s the plan now then?
Kyle: Well I certainly didn’t put myself through ten years of disappointment and dismissal just to give up after the first hurdle. I am Kyle fucking Williams. Every single let down, every loss, every person who thought I didn’t have what it takes only made me stronger. Now’s the time to work harder than ever. I’ll be out in that ring, event after event after event, showing every single person in Wrestleverse just who they’re dealing with. And soon enough they’ll have no choice to but to sit up and take notice of me, no choice but to give me another shot at a title. It could take weeks, months or even years but I will never stop claiming the glory that should have been mine all along!
Tilly: Well the card for the next event is up already, you’re in a four way street fight for the Eternal Championship.
Kyle: Damn I’m good.
Kyle and Tilly are sat outside a café after some lunch, she has been meeting with him periodically as a way of getting some news on the hottest new federation on the planet: Wrestleverse, the company that every journalist wants to write about as it just keeps those clicks coming! It's doing wonders for her page and she has more viewers than ever before.
Tilly: So a street fight eh? You had much experience in those before?
Kyle: Oh yeah, plenty. Name an object and I’ve probably been smacked round the head with it.
Tilly: Cat?
Kyle: No thanks I’ve already eaten.
Tilly: What?
Kyle: No the thing I’m worried about is this fans choice bit. I’ve only ever had hardcore matches in England, I’ve heard stories about how violent these Americans can be. Who knows what’s going to end up in that ring.
Tilly: Do you have a weapon of choice you’ll be bringing with you?
Kyle: When I was a young man, I used to get bullied about my height. A lot.
Tilly: You still do.
Kyle: (Ignoring her) It got really bad at one point, it had gone beyond name calling. I used to come home with a pink belly, dicks drawn on me in sharpie, one guy even put a yoghurt carton in my school bag.
Tilly: Sounds awful…
Kyle: So one day I grabbed a cricket bat from the sports supplies and just beat the shit outta them. Never got bullied again.
Tilly: I see where this is going…
Kyle: Yeah so I bought a gun.
Kyle pulls a pistol out from his trousers, screams are heard in the distance, a waitress drops a tray of plates and people dive behind cars.
Tilly: Jesus Christ! Put that away!
Kyle: What? I thought it was cool here?
Tilly: No!! Get rid of it!
Kyle: Alright calm down.
Tilly: What were you planning on doing?! Shooting them?
Kyle: (Shrugging) Just lightly threaten. I could just scare them out of the ring? Winning by default is still winning.
Tilly: Were you always this unhinged?
Kyle: You seen some of the crazy crap we got going on in wrestleverse? Some guy literally got beamed into the ring by aliens during the battle royal, someone else got thrown out so hard his arms fell off! There’s a witch! Some guy with robot legs! The fuck am I meant to compete with that with just a tragic backstory and a willingness to fight people taller than me??
Tilly: So you bought a gun?
Kyle: So I bought a gun.
Tilly: Maybe don’t bring that to the match.
Kyle: Fine. But I swear to god if some voodoo shit starts going on around me I’m finding the nearest pet store to buy another.
Tilly: You got that at a pet shop?
Kyle: Yeah it came free with the snake.
Tilly: (Sighing, clearly already having had enough of this nonsense) What snake?
Kyle: This snak…(Kyle looks around confused) Hmm I appear to have lost it. Sure hope that doesn’t come back into play later.
Tilly: Can we talk about actual wrestling for a bit please?
Kyle: Sounds good to me.
Tilly reaches into her back and sets up a small camera on a tripod facing herself, she attaches a radio mic to both of them and hits record.
Tilly: What’s up guys! Welcome back to wrestle WroundUp with your daily dose of wrestling news, don’t forget to like and subscribe for all things Wrestleverse! I’m here once again with Kyle Williams, one of four competitors who’ll be appearing in the main event of Eternal on August 12th.
Tilly turns the camera to face him.
Tilly: Now Kyle, for the second week in a row you have an opportunity to become a champion, from someone who has never left the indie scene this is huge for you, how are you feeling?
Kyle: Thanks Tilda good to be here. The first Eternal was a real wake up call for me, after all my years competing, I’d never seen half the stuff I witnessed in that single show. I have a good feeling it’s only going to get weirder from here on out. If there’s one thing I’ve learned how to do though it’s adapt. Last week didn’t disappoint me, it fueled me. I don’t dwell on loss, I learn from them.
Tilly: You’re going up against Lachlan Kane, CruZe and Amelia Winston in a street fight. You’ve seen what these guys are capable of already, how do you fare your chances?
Kyle: Lot of factors at play here, I mean you saw how well CruZe and Wildheart did, could well have gone the distance had Wolfslair not gone the team up route.
Tilly: Are you worried that they’ll get involved in the match to give Lachlan a helping hand?
Kyle: (getting serious) If they really want to go down that route, then they’ll be a good reason people will be referring to me as wolfsbane after the match…
Tilly: No that’s shit. Say something cooler.
Kyle: Really? I thought that sounded badass.
Tilly: Not even a little. You can do better.
Kyle: I’m not good at one-liners. Don’t put me on the spot like this.
Tilly: Well what about Amelia? You seemed to get on well last week before the match, do you think they’ll be some sort of alliance going on there?
Kyle: (Smiling) I like Amelia, I mean the old sand in the eyes trick last week? (Kyle does a chefs kiss) but she and I both know that alliances in matches like this just don’t work. We’re competing for a singles title, only one person walks out with the win. The only thing inside that ring next week for me is 3 opponents and a shit load of weapons. And when it comes down to it, It doesn’t matter who my they are, hell it doesn’t even matter what the weapons are. This is too good an opportunity for me to worry about alliances, interference and taking some sort of moral high ground. I’ll be doing whatever it takes to walk out of that ring holding the eternal championship. I’ve waited too long for my shot at glory. That belt is as good as mine already, the match itself is merely a formality.
Kyle looks directly into the camera to finish off the segment as sirens can be heard growing louder in the distance.
Tilly: Shit that’s probably about the gun. We should leave.
29/07/2022 Eternal #1 Aftermath
Interior of a hotel conference room, banners, balloons and decorations litter the room as people all gather and chat amongst themselves. In walks a defeated looking Kyle Williams, he immediately pops a balloon and slaps some cake out of a child’s hands.
Kyle: Alright everyone party over, I didn’t win.
As parents tend to the crying children, a hotel employee rushes over to Kyle.
Employee: Sir please! This is a 4 year old's party! You hired the room next door.
Kyle: Oh. Right.
Kyle sadly walks towards the door leading to the adjacent room, as he does he slaps another portion of cake out of a kids hands who immediately starts crying.

ONE WEEK LATER
Kyle and Tilly are sat outside a café after some lunch, she has been meeting with him periodically as a way of getting some news on the hottest new federation on the planet: Wrestleverse, the company that every journalist wants to write about as it just keeps those clicks coming!
