Before It Begins
Ethan is seen being well dressed for the Night at the Hall of Fame Ceremony. Rikishi, Alundra Blayze, Bushwhackers, the Warrior Award for Connor "the Crusher" Michalek, Larry Zbysko, Tatsumi Fujinabi, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Kevin Nash are being held tonight.
Ethan managed to have a few photos with nearly all of them, including ones with Connor's father and brother, as he still has the photo with him last year at Wrestlemania and he will cherish it forever as he still missed the kid and felt sorry for the family.
Soon, the night began as everyone got to their seats and watch. As each Inductee has made their presence and speech, the camera cuts to at times to the main roster. Soon, one camera views Ethan's face as he looks at it and smiles. The crowd pops as they cheer for Joker and he made a more wicked smile, getting a bigger pop from the crowd.
Soon, after Kevin Nash, the ceremony ends and everyone went to their separate ways for the night as the next day, Wrestlemania is about to arrive. Ethan goes to the mirror to prepare the makeup for his Joker face paint.
Ethan: There. Now, for clothes.
He goes to his luggage and looks for clothing to wear for his entrance. Suddenly, his phone rings as he goes to check it. He sees the number and answers it.
Ethan: Hello?
?: Hey, Eth.
Ethan's face lowers into a frown as he recognized the caller's voice.
Ethan: Hey, Mercedes. It's weird that you found my number. You must've stolen it from Gionna.
Mercedes: No, I didn't steal it from her. I asked her for the number so I can talk to you.
Ethan: *sarcastic* Oh yeah? Like what?
Mercedes: Look. I just want to say I'm sorry about what I did last year.
Ethan: Yeah, no shit. You left me when I was at the hospital. No calls, no text, nothing. You basically ghosted me.
Mercedes: Ethan, I understand I did all that, but-
Ethan: Nah, nah, nah. You're not going to make some dumbass excuse as to why you left me. What you're going to do is not call me again and that is final. Did you get that?
Mercedes: Please, Eth. Just let me speak.
Ethan: Go ahead. For what we both know I wouldn't listen or care about what you say. You might've slept with someone behind my back. I don't-
Mercedes: Look, I'm not going to say I want us to be together again. I know I broke our relationship and I will not fix it. But, I just want you to know that I'm sorry and have no intention of asking you back. That's it.
Ethan was taken aback by this.
Ethan: That's all? No 'Please take me back?'
Mercedes: No. none of that. I just want to say that I'm sorry for what I did back then. I have wished I never done that, but it was too little too late to change that, but the only I wanted to do apologize for leaving you.
Ethan stays silent for a while as he thinks about what he has to say to her.
Mercedes: Eth?
He gives a deep breath and he talks.
Ethan: Look. We both can admit that you leaving me was bad.
Mercedes: Yes.
Ethan: And not making sure I was alright is bad, right?
Mercedes: Yes.
He can hear Mercedes sniffing as he tries not to cry either.
Ethan: But...I can see you're admitting you screwed up and is very apologetic, so...I accept your apology, Merc.
Mercedes: *surprised* Y-you do?
Ethan: Yeah. The thing is...I'm not sure I can trust you again, as I trusted you to not leave me and I would never do it to you, as you did.
Mercedes: I accept that. I just want to apologize. I understand you will not trust me. That's all I want to know.
Ethan: *wipes his tears* Okay. Just be good to the new guy you're with, okay?
Mercedes: I promise, Ethan. As for you, be careful in your match against Brock Lesnar.
Ethan: I'll try not to.
Mercedes: *chuckles a bit* You're still the confidence son of a gun I know.
Ethan: Yeah. I think I need to cancel that package before it arrives.
Mercedes: What? Hey wait, I'll be back.
She leaves as Ethan waits for her with a cheeky grin. Then, a small burst was heard as Mercedes gave a little shriek. Ethan tries not to laugh as he hears her coming back.
Mercedes: Seriously?
Ethan: Just a little petty revenge.
Mercedes: *sighs* Fine. I deserve it.
Ethan: Did Gionna gave it to you?
Mercedes: Yes. That would explain why she gave your phone number without being angry.
Ethan: Yep. We planned it. Anyway, Be good out there, Mercedes.
Mercedes: I will, Ethan. Just try not to get seriously injured again. We don't want an instance of you getting an earlier retirement.
Ethan: True. Like Edge. Anyway, have a good night.
Mercedes: You too. Bye.
He ends the call as he gave a deep sigh.
Ethan: I accepted her apology, but I won't trust her. At least she accepts it, unlike the other guys who had their girlfriends be in denial. *smirks* And got nice satisfying revenge from her.
He got up and looks at the mirror.
Ethan: I'm going to be in one hell of a match. But, I'm confident enough in my own skills. As for entrance...hmm.
He gets an idea and goes into the phone and calls someone.
*The next Day at Wrestlemania 31*
At the Levi Stadium, Aloe Blacc sings "America the Beautiful" after the preshow matches.
*video package*
Some video clips are shown in black and white as they cut to LL Cool J as he begins his speech.
LL Cool J: The world has become a lot smaller.
He walks forward as he wears his shades and some clips showing people tuning in for Wrestlemania. Soon, he takes off shades and the screen turns back into color.
LL Cool J: We've all been connected. From the Dawn of the Radio...to the Golden Age of Television. From Silicon Valley...to the Internet and Beyond.
He walks forward as clips of past Wrestlemania moments are shown while he continues.
LL Cool J: A shared photo, a viral video, a thought for the whole world to read in the span of 140 characters. Entertainment has evolved. The mediums have changed. But the one thing that has remained the same *snaps his fingers*...is us.
He stares at the camera.
LL Cool J: Me. You. Us here. The Human Connection.
Soon, clips of Wrestlemania moments come back as he continues on.
LL Cool J: The feeling you get when you're surrounded by a sea of strangers, but somehow, you feel you know them all. It's that instant, you realize you have something in common. That moment, that emotion, that split second, you say 'Man...that was awesome'.
Then, clips of All the past Wrestlemania Matches are shown even the ones from the '80s. First, Hulk Hogan Vs Andre the Giant.
LL Cool J: Decades ago, the world has seen the Irresistible Force Meet the Immovable Object. And millions overcame the impossible. As one.
Next, the match between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.
LL Cool J: We saw the Boy Hood Dream become reality. And together, we cried in tears of joy.
Next, the Rock Vs Hulk Hogan.
LL Cool J: We saw the passing of the torch. As one generation croissants the next.
Then, The Rock Vs John Cena.
LL Cool J: And that generation...created a once in a lifetime event.
Cue the clips of each wrestler from the past to the present.
LL Cool J: All these things, these indelible moments, these benchmarks that shaded our history. At their core, do one thing. They connect us.
Soon, it cuts to him on the stage as banners show the match card. First, Brock Lesnar and Joker.
LL Cool J: Tonight. These men...These women...these athletes...whose larger than life superstars...will take the biggest stage In live entertainment. Once again...
Cuts to every superstars moment in their career as he continues.
LL Cool J: Inspire us. Move us. Shape us. They will...connect us. Tonight...the world will be watching. This...is Wrestlemania.
He smiles and presses the play button in front of him as the video package ends.
Hope you enjoy that. I hope you don't get upset that Ethan forgave Mercedes. Again, you can forgive, but not forget. Ethan doesn't trust her, but what he does trust her on is that they will never be together again. And that's final. At least he pranked her for revenge.
However, the betrayal from a family member is more painful. The break only put salt on the wounds, so Sean/Joker will not forgive the others anytime soon, mostly Seth.
Plus, I did the Video Package to the best of my ability. Hope you feel excited for Wrestlemania.
