: Our scene opens up last week in the real world of all places. More specifically, the home of author extraordinaire Will Gardner. He is walking through is home with a beverage in his hand. He passes a very dusty box on the floor and mutters something about eventually sending that to Zybala. He makes his way to his computer, where he makes all the magic happen. He powers it up and goes to the OCW website to work on making the Under the Lights card. The title matches are simple enough, as is Raven versus TIO. Will then looks at his four remaining names. This is where he gets stumped. Zybala, Rodriguez, Dream, and Houston. He considers Crash versus Ed, but that would leave Dream versus Zybala. Maybe another time. Don't want to scare of the new guy with Mike's….. eccentricities…. Will sighs as he goes back to the well and makes Houston versus Zybala 56. He leans back, giving the card a once over and posts it to the board. He then picks up his Bible and starts reading. His cellphone goes off and Will sees that "LURRR" is calling. Will sighs, putting down the Bible and answering the phone. Pleasantries are had and quickly Will is trying to tell Lurrr he isn't interested in Blackjack and Hookers. The arguing intensifies as this scene fades to black.
We then cut to another 4th wall breaking scene as we see the real Mike Zybala at work, driving a City of Buffalo garbage truck. He stops at every stop garbage is at, not carrying about the honking cars behind him. Nobody told them to turn on the narrow one way street a huge truck was slowly going down. Bored, as his lifters have the hard part of the job; his part is more tedious, he picks up his phone and checks Facebook for a bit. Getting bored of baby pictures and friends posting work pics in a desperate cry for attention, Zybala opens a new tab. He types in the OCW website and looks to see new stuff. No new Alice adventures of new messages. What's this though? Will has posted the card to Under The Lights. Eager to see who he will be facing, Zybala opens the link and scrolls through the card. His heart drops when he sees who his opponent is going to be. Not Ed again, he thinks to himself. He's faced Ed so many times, there is literally nothing new to say. Even the whole "we know each other inside and out" stuff is worn out. Zybala starts working on Dystopia, hoping that something will come to him as this scene fades away as well.
Five days have passed and Mike still has no idea what to write. Outsiders is slowly getting worked on, all the Piledriver segments are done, but still nothing for Ed. While working on the hospital segment with Will, Zybala brings up the writer's block situation. Will sympathizes as he knew this would happen. He suggests that Zybala used the writer's block as the story, maybe have him watch "Meteor" again. Use real life to create the story.
So Zybala goes to the OCW and GCWA archives. He fully intends to find an old rp where he watched "Meteor"and copy and paste that sumbitch, making some minor tweaks to give it a Groundhog's Day effect. Make Zybala relive the movie repeatedly. As soon as Zybala left the theater, he would be walking right back in with a new popcorn and pop. I'm from Buffalo. We call soda "pop." But I can't find the promo in question. Four hours were spent scouring the archives of both sites, but the promo was nowhere to be found. It was as if it never existed. I was very annoyed. The one idea I had, gone! Lost to the aether of the internet. Then I remembered what else Will said. "Use real life to create the story." Then I came up with an idea so crazy that it just might work…. At least for this week.
So that is how we got here. Me taking Will way too literally. I'm using real life AS the story. At least up until this point. Now it's back to the drawing board. It's nothing against Ed. He is a great writer, a former world champ, a title holder in every fed he's been in. We've held tag gold together, done segments together and beat each other for titles. We've been in the same feds for the past 8 years at least. We've faced off against each other more times than Cena and Orton. I practically have no more ideas when it comes to facing him any more. I don't mean that as an insult to the guy. It's just that we've become that one line in the Piña Colada song, "A worn out recording to a favorite song." So I apologize for the lack of rp and my writer's block. I swear I will do better in the next two weeks. Good luck buddy. You probably don't need it if I keep putting out crap like this. I'm off to the Renaissance Festival! :
