{A soft silence is present.}[/color]
“Is this on?”
“Been on for several seconds.”
“Why wouldn’t you tell me?”
“I thought you’d notice the green light. It means it’s on.”
“You never told me to watch for a green light.”
“All cameras have green lights when they’re on.”
“Not all of them.”
“This one does.”
“Ergh…let’s just try this again.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“…I do not parade myself as an ideal WFWF superstar, no do I claim-”
“You started too early.”
“The green light was on.”
“You have to wait a couple seconds after.”
“Why wouldn’t you tell me that?”
“Again, common sense.”
“Go to hell, Werner. Seriously.”
{A disappointed sigh.}[/color]
“Cut.”

{He sits in a black director’s chair despite no creative control in his own creation. Matthew Werner fiddles around his cheap, over emphasized camera as EBR attempts to adjust the microphone that’s attached to his light blue shirt. This is quickly noticed by Werner who peaks over the camera.}[/color]
Matthew Werner:[/color] Please don’t touch that. It’s fine where it, trust me. I certainly wouldn’t want you…you know…breaking it.
{With a condescending look EBR throws his arms away as Werner nods in satisfaction. He’s either too dumb or naïve to understand the connotations behind EBR’s actions. Dismissed at Werner’s inability to pick up his sarcastic notes EBR folds his arms and slouches in the chair, pouting. With neither man talking the only audible sound is the buzz from the camera, which makes the already piercing room colder. The chill causes EBR to squirm in the chair awkwardly.}[/color]
EBR:[/COLOR] You know, we’d probably be close to finished if you’d just tell me when we were and weren’t filming.
{Werner rises and sternly looks at EBR.}[/color]
Matthew Werner:[/color] A great director doesn’t need to tell an actor when they’re filming. You want this to be a success?
EBR:[/COLOR] You’re barely directing this; it’s a talking head. I just need you to press play, stop, and then edit it after.
Matthew Werner:[/color] And you need me to ask you questions.
EBR:[/COLOR] You don’t know what a talking head is, do you?
{Werner chuckles before crouching back underneath the camera.}[/color]
Matthew Werner:[/color] “Don’t know what a talking head is”…you’re a hoot.
{EBR pulls a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, lights, and inhales. He stares at the black tarp which covers Matthew Werner’s basement walls.}[/color]
EBR:[/COLOR] Is that a bed sheet?
Matthew Werner:[/color] Of course not. It’s official lighting tarp.
EBR:[/COLOR] It’s called official lighting tarp?
Matthew Werner:[/color] Yes.
EBR:[/COLOR] Looks thin. Can kind of see through it.
Matthew Werner:[/color] It’s fine. Would you just let me finish?
{He quiets down, in the meanwhile wondering what needs to be finished in the first place. He assumes it’s something trivial, something almost sad. Something like running out of film because the self proclaimed director didn’t check how much he had left before they started shooting. Of course, he still has to wonder why changing it would take Werner so long in the first place. Probably one of things Werner will never be fully competent at, no matter how often he does it.}[/color]
Matthew Werner:[/color] Alright, I got it changed. You ready?
{Reaching over EBR grabs Werner’s half full bottle of water and lightly taps his cigarette into the mouth, letting the ashes fall in.}[/color]
EBR:[/COLOR] Shoot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Werner:[/color] The Tag Team Titles. What do they mean to you?
EBR:[/COLOR] Not much, honestly. I mean, it’s cool that I have one but I’m by no means married to the idea of wrestling with a partner who I don’t know or like.
Matthew Werner:[/color] Then why go for them again? Certainly you feel you accomplished everything you needed to prove when you won them while in the Anointed?
EBR:[/COLOR] Well, yes and no. I was never trying to accomplish anything in the ring when I won them back in…what was it…October of last year? I never returned to the WFWF to add more titles to my resume. My initial goal was to just spread the truth about those twits who were trying to {Finger quotes}[/color] “revolutionize” – their words, not mine – the WFWF. If I get to bitch smack them in the process and take something they value? Well, that’s more than most cats get to do.
Matthew Werner:[/color] And that’s what it is now?
EBR:[/COLOR] Not really. The only reason I’m there now is because I wanted the belt I never lost. Simply a matter of principle.
Matthew Werner:[/color] You don’t have anything against Yukio Blaze?
EBR:[/COLOR] No, of course not. I mean, I didn’t really have anything against the Revolution either. Pointing out the flaws in someone isn’t the same as having a vendetta.
Matthew Werner:[/color] But did you not say Yukio Blaze helped to destroy the validity of the Tag Titles?
EBR:[/COLOR] {Chuckle}[/color] Should I have stood there and begin to specifically blame him for ruining something that Alex and I claimed was desolate six months earlier? Probably not and I probably owe him an apology. Though, I still think he’s an overzealous prick who really painted me as a picture that I’m not. But whatever…I figure what goes around comes around. Case in point, him losing his title to me.
Matthew Werner:[/color] And speaking of, what do you think of your partner CBT?
{He hesitantly pauses.}[/color]
EBR:[/COLOR] He isn’t an Alex Sean. Let’s just leave it at that.
Matthew Werner:[/color] You mentioned having no interest in it; by holding one half of the Tag Team Championships are you making a mockery of what the Tag Team Division stands for?
EBR:[/COLOR] I go out there and do what everyone else in the WFWF does. I happen to be successful despite the fact it’s not a high priority. If that means I’m destroying the division then so be it. I’m not here to mold the WFWF into what it should be. I tried that once and it didn’t end well for either of us.
Matthew Werner:[/color] Some people could say that if your heart’s not in it then you’ll never be capable of maintaining that success. Do you believe that?
EBR:[/COLOR] I live with the principle that no matter what it is you do it well. I may not like CBT, or even the Tag Team Titles, but I still plan to win my matches and have a lengthy reign as champion. Besides, I’m great at it. I’ve been the catalyst in two teams now.
Matthew Werner:[/color] You believe you were the reason Anointed won?
EBR:[/COLOR] Of course. Respect to Alex Sean, but look at Superbrawl. We don’t beat Master of Destruction and Total Apocalypse if I’m not there. I almost single handedly got us that win.
Matthew Werner:[/color] Do you feel you’ll lose the Tag Team Titles if you’re not at your best?
EBR:[/COLOR] Depends on who I’m facing. But in the most part? Definitely.
Matthew Werner:[/color] Does any of that have to do with your partner’s possible short comings.
EBR:[/COLOR] Well, I’ll look at it like this. Compared to who I could’ve gotten CBT is a step up, and at the very least he’s competent. But are you asking me if I’m not there do I think CBT is able to get a win for both of us?
{Werner nods.}[/color]
EBR:[/COLOR] Then no. I was there at Veni Vedi Vici. I would’ve won that match straight up. Obo would’ve won that match straight up. Wayne McGurk would’ve won that match straight up. CBT needed me to think that Yukio Blaze knocked me off the apron intentionally in order for him to put the match away.
Matthew Werner:[/color] Is that really fair?
EBR:[/COLOR] I only call it like I see it. Besides, CBT’s a dick. You should have no sympathy when I speak the truth about someone who talked shit about someone’s five year old daughter.
Matthew Werner:[/color] If you dislike CBT as much as you seemingly do then why not select Calvin Lee to be your partner? Bring back the Anointed?
EBR:[/COLOR] I like Calvin Lee, I honestly do. But why should I tag with someone who tried to punk me out? He made his bed, now he can jack off in it because he didn’t pick the one that had hookers on it. Besides, he’s teaming with Luther Castle and doing whatever it is they’ve been doing for the past couple months, all the while being fairly successful at it. It seems you and everyone else won’t just give Calvin the credit he deserves. It’s a shame that his inclusion in the Anointed pretty much ruined his career. He’ll never be seen for what he accomplishes, just for who he was hanging out with in the summer of 2006. It’s even worse considering that he was barely a component of the Anointed.
{Werner flashes an inquisitive stare.}[/color]
Matthew Werner:[/color] Explain.
EBR:[/COLOR] He was there, and technically he was a part of it, but let’s be real. You sure as hell don’t think of Calvin Lee when you think of the Anointed. Frankly, neither do I.
{At an instant, the screen fades out.}[/color]

The following is an excerpt from an unnamed interview involving one EBR. Any words spoken are in no way official and/or representing of Werner Industries.
