History
~The Franchise Shane Douglas has recently been on a roller coaster of ups and downs as of late. With the recent events with CM Punk trying to hold the company up for a shot at the WWE Franchise World Championship, Shane Douglas was ready to teach him a lesson in respect. However there were two other men who were looking forward to getting their shots as well. Vince and Shane McMahon came to the decision that all involved would get a shot. R-Truth’s strides to the top has made him a variable that can’t be ignored. WWE Franchise Intercontinental Zack Ryder has been on a major roll since winning the title at WrestleMania 4. He and Shane Douglas have had a working agreement as they were tag team partners for a short while in order to survey the field. His recent Raw match up with R-Truth showed a no contest because of Truth leaving the arena. Douglas was left enraged because he wanted a challenge. Due to this lack of professionalism Douglas sat out most of the WWE Franchise’s promotional events leading up to Summer Slam.. With these thoughts enraging the current World Champion, WWE Franchise’s Joey Styles caught up with Shane from his home in Pittsburgh via Skype in a video conference call which can be replayed on WWEF.com~
RolePlay- Tensions Run High
~Shane Douglas is sitting in front of a computer desk with a lowly lit desk light shining on the screen before him. He reaches over and switches the computer on. The cell phone to the left of the computer rings as it’s a text message from WWE Franchise’s Joey Styles. Shane opens the message on his phone and reads it to himself.~
Shane Douglas: “Skype conference interview ASAP, Joey.”
~Douglas takes a deep breath and holds it in for a moment. It’s 7:30 in the morning as he’s still a bit groggy from getting up. The computer boots up and begins to come on. He places his password into the locked system and pulls up the news from random newsfeed. He checks out the world news and opens up his Skype account. Then he gets up from his desk and drags his feet into the kitchen where he starts up his coffee pot and awaits a cup of brew.. Moments later he’s fixed up his cup of coffee and drags back to his desk. He sees a pop up on the screen from Joey Styles who’s placing a call to him. Douglas receives the call.~
Joey Styles: “Troy, where the hell have you been? Vince and Shane are beside themselves. Ever since the last Raw you’ve been freakin’ AWOL!”
Shane Douglas: “Joey Styles, how long have you known me? How long have we traveled together? You and I have been around the world and back again and you have the nerve to call me out? If you weren’t a friend of mine, I’d tell you where to go.. But it’s early, and I’m half awake.. Oh and you can bet I’ve got quite a bit on my mind right now..”
Joey Styles: “Good because this could make or break you, if what I heard from the front office is right..”
Shane Douglas: “Since when have I cared about that?! Come on? What are they gonna do Joey? Fire me?! I’m the Champ and I’m the cornerstone and standard bearer of this company. I’ve always done the dirty work, now it’s my time and my turn. Piss on everyone else.. Lets get this BS over with..”
~Just as this is said, Shane McMahon walked into the office where Joey Styles is working from McMahon steps in front of the screen and looks a little pissed off.~
Shane McMahon: “Douglas, you better get your sh*t straight before this interview takes place because right now, you’re on notice. You’ve been ducking out of shows and blowing smoke up people’s assess for far too long.. Time to put up and get back in the game or else I’ll be forced to do what my father couldn’t..”
Shane Douglas: “Save for someone who cares.. I’ve got a match to win and a title to keep.. Joey, come on..”
RolePlay- The Match
~McMahon stands back from the computer and sits in the background as Joey Styles looks over his notes for questions. He then begins a recording software on his computer to capture the interview.~
Joey Styles: “Joey Styles here on WWE Franchise dot com with the WWE Franchise World Champion, The Franchise, Shane Douglas who in just a matter of days will face off against R-Truth, Zack Ryder, and CM Punk in a fatal four way match up for the Championship at Summer Slam. Shane what are your thoughts as of late in regards to the recent actions of R-Truth? This past Raw saw you two compete one on one in a heated brawl which resulted in Truth leaving the arena.”
~Douglas rubs his chin for a moment and begins to speak once again.~
Shane Douglas: “Last week on Raw Truth, you found out why I am the World Heavyweight Champion. I gave you something no one else in this company has the balls to do and that was a beating. I never backed down from you and you couldn’t handle the pressure so now it comes to go time.. Now, it comes to you seeing if you really have what it takes to get my title.. Are you going to stay for the fight or take off out of the building again?”
~Douglas takes a drink from his coffee up and places it back down on the desk. Then he runs his hand over the top of his head and looks upward for a moment before peering back into the camera. He looks a little disappointed.~
Shane Douglas: “R-Truth likes to talk about conspiracies.. No one knows more about manipulation and conspiracies more than I do! R-Truth wants to claim that he’s been given the shaft? Look around Truth, you don’t know the first thing about getting the shaft around here. Since day one, when I entered into this company over 4 years ago at the first WrestleMania, I have been given the shaft. While guys like you and other around here in the history of this company got shot after shot, I had been a proven commodity! I have been pivotal to this company’s success. Yet, I kept getting held back. I kept taking the heat and making people like you look like million bucks. Forget the trinket titles I had held in the past to get here.. Forget all the sentimental feuds and nostalgic flashbacks I had to recreate in order to have something to do around here! R-Truth, the only conspiracy around here with you is which hand you’re going to date for the evening because just like your shot at my championship.. It’ll be a ten second Little Jimmy, hahahahaha!”
~Joey begins on the next line of questioning as he tries to disregard some of those previous statements.~
Joey Styles: “Despite your disgruntled opinions Shane, lets talk about another player in this match up. You have a man who’d been trying to manipulate his way around the WWEF in a similar fashion you have. CM Punk is another guy who’s wanting an “all or nothing” approach to his chance to become the WWE Franchise Champion. He too feels that he’s been slighted by the system and wants his opportunity. He’s also very angry with the way you’ve been going about your current championship reign as well.”
~The last comment causes a smirk to come across Shane’s face as takes another drink. Douglas rubs the inside of his mouth with his tongue for a moment and readjusts the white tanks top shirt he’s wearing before replying back.~
Shane Douglas: “Seems to be the status quo around here isn’t Styles? Everyone from the front office , to the roster, to C.. M.. Punk seems to not like the way I do business?! I’m glad, I really don’t care, you see I have made a reputation on being the best in the business and the best in the world. I have carved a legacy in this industry that no one and I do mean no one will ever be able to touch. I’m a multi time World Champion, I’m a multi time Hall of Famer.. I don’t have to answer or prove anything to anyone except to myself! Everyone else is just along for the free ride.. See I carry the WWE Franchise Championship because I want to.. I took the WWE Franchise Champion because I wanted to.. Point is, I’m in charge because I want to be! The way I’ve done things as of late are questionable, no surprise right?! People have been interested in what I do and what I say around here because I don’t have to lie in order to get a shot. CM Punk, yes, you’re thinking it aren’t you? Did Shane Douglas call me a liar?! You’re d**n right I did! You’re not a threat to me, I can beat you without even thinking about it and you know it. History repeats itself Punk, learn to love it.. That belt, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
~Styles forces the interview to move along as he flips through some pages and pulls out some more questions.~
Joey Styles: “Finally there’s the Intercontinental Champion, Zack Ryder. He was presented that title at WrestleMania 4 and since then he’s been on an amazing role as of late. Most people are saying that Zack Ryder could be your biggest threat to the title given his recent streak. Also he’s got a win over you. Thoughts?”
~Douglas c*ocks his head down and to the right. He glares up at the screen with anger and annoyance on his face. His eyes piercing the camera and screen before him. Douglas grabs his coffee cup and chucks it into the nearby wall. Coffee streams down the wall and splatters out from the impact, the cup broken into several pieces as it hits the floor. Douglas slams his fists down on his desk.~
Shane Douglas: “Every time someone mentions the name Zack Ryder, I get pissed off. You know why? Because he was handed that championship, I earned that title more than once. He finished second best and was given to him like the silver medal in the Special Olympics. There was no one else better than him to give that title to? Yes the following week he beat me, but who carried him through the rest of his streak? It was me! I helped make you Zack Ryder, and at Summer Slam I’m going to break you. See Zack, I’ve been pushing you aside and ignoring you this whole time because you are nuisance! You’re a peon! I’m embarrassed to even mention your name in the same sentence as mine! Our levels are so much different that you don’t even reach up to mine. You don’t even belong in this match, you should be in the mid card defending your title where you belong but no you have to stick your nose yet again in my business and try to stake a claim to my throne… Zack Ryder, you just might regret this decision because I can basically end your career here.. Ask those who’ve crossed my path. See your wet dream of a double championship reign is going to be just that because just like that hot super model that you can’t nail, you’re going to get stuck with the fat girl from the trailer park, hahahahaha! But in this case, you’re going to get, just like everyone else involved.. FRANCHISED!!”
~Douglas shuts off the video window to stop the scene.~
