Ahhh, the Royal Rumble! It was definitely one of those important times of the year for the world of wrestling, just a week before the Super Bowl. This year's Royal Rumble was definitely something special for Trent... His first ever EBWF Royal Rumble, and even if he hasn't been around long enough to be relevant for EBWF's history unlike the Kennedys, Hardys and Jerichos in the match, he had decided he would give his best, he would go out and do what he did best, make people laugh, entertain and grow... He was the youngest talent of the EBWF roster. That was not all! The event would take place in New York City's Madison Square Garden, an hour an a half away to Mount Sinai, where Trent was born, which meant one thing and one thing only! Mom will be ringside! Not having a match at Warfare and with Aggression being cancelled on the new ABC huge deal he had the week for himself, which meant he'd head to Mount Sinai for a small recess before the rumble.
Friday, January 27th 2012 Mount Sinai New York, Susan Marasciulo's home. 9:00PM
Trent's open palm would slap against the door repeatedly, unluckily for his mom and Family that was his trademark knock. Footsteps could be heard coming from the inside, someone was coming over to open the door. The door swung open and Greg's little brother jumped to cling to his left leg.
Paul Marasciulo: He's here!!! He's here!!!! He's really really here!!!!!
Greg Marasciulo: How are you little fella? I haven't seen you in weeks!
Paul Marasciulo: I know! I've struggled so hard to beat the Pokemon game and I was waiting sooo bad for you to come help me! Will you? Will you?
Greg Marasciulo: Of course I will!
Susan Marasciulo: Paul, let go off your brother's leg, he's probably tired from a long trip.
And boy he was, but still he knelt as soon as Paul let go off his leg, he picked him up and carried him into the house, closing the door behind him.
Greg Marasciulo: Its fine mom.
He walked towards her mother and kissed her on the forehead, her mom hugged him as he let Paul down.
Greg Marasciulo: Where is she?
Susan Marasciulo: Upstairs, sleeping.
He nodded slowly and walked past the entrance, through the living room and upstairs, second door to the right, his sister's room. The door was closed. He snuggled in and found her hibernating 18 year old sister, rolled around in her covers like a cocoon, or a joint if you're not familiar with the cocoon term. He leaned in to kiss her cheek, she frowned, still half asleep.
Mileena Marasciulo: What's with the noise?
Greg Marasciulo: Paul got a bit carried away...
Mileena Marasciulo: ...It's good to have you back, bro.
He smiled a little and adjusted the sheets she was rolled into, kissing her again on the cheek, she smiled in reply.
Mileena Marasciulo: But you should really cut on the yelling and screaming...
He couldn't help it but to chuckle, his sister hadn't changed one bit. Still grumpy and still loved to sleep whenever she wasn't finding new ways to use her make up or her nails. Once downstairs, he smiled at his mother Susan, Paul wasn't with her.
Greg Marasciulo: Where's Paul?
Susan Marasciulo: I let him stay up until you arrived... It's already after 9PM, after seeing you he collapsed on his bed.
Greg sat on the living room with his mother.
Greg Marasciulo: So good to be home mom!
Susan Marasciulo: I'm glad to have you here son! In fact, tomorrow I'm making you your favorite dish!
Greg Marasciulo: Gee mom, that'd be awesome! How are things?
Susan reached out to touch the back of his hand, her motherly gaze on his eyes. No wonder why this woman who seemed to breathe out love was a kindergarten teacher.
Susan Marasciulo: Greg everything is the same... School is fine, Paul is growing nonstop, Mileena is the same old sleepyhead fashionista... Why don't you tell me what is going on with you? How are Matt (Zack Ryder) and Brian (Curt Hawkins)? Do you have any girlfriends? How's the job treating you?
Greg smiled and sighed.
Greg Marasciulo: Well, Job has been plain awesome. I thought it would be hard to start on my own, with Kris (Caylen Croft) not wanting to return to EBWF, but it has been great... Everyone's been very supportive, after all I'm the youngest dude in the whole place, so everyone has always neat words of advice to give me. Matt and Brian are fine, in fact me and Brian have this huge match on Sunday for the Tag Titles!
Susan Marasciulo: Oh, I always thought you worked a lot better with Brian than with Kris... So you and Brian are a team?
Greg Marasciulo: Nope, we aren't. Actually, we had a match and...
Susan Marasciulo: I saw that! He attacked you after the match! And now you're teaming up?
Greg Marasciulo: Yep, would make a nice mexican soap opera huh?
Susan Marasciulo: Only your name isn't Benito de los santos caidos Gonzalez Ramirez, and you're not teaming up with him to defeat someone who is keeping your girlfriend Lupe hostage.
Greg smiled and nodded.
Greg Marasciulo: I also have this huge over the top rope 30 men battle royal...
Susan Marasciulo: Are you winning it?
Greg Marasciulo: Hey, that's confidential! I'm going out there to have fun.
Greg reached out to his back pocket, pulling out three front row tickets handing them to his mom.
Greg Marasciulo: And you're watching it from the front row!
Susan took the tickets and smiled at her son, reaching out to hug him.
Greg Marasciulo: I loved when you watched me at FCW mom, and you haven't been able to do it since I quit WWE and joined EBWF, so this will be your first time watching me in the great state of New York! Work has been beautiful, I've had the chance to actually speak and show the fans I'm relevant in some way... Back at WWE I talked like twice, and for 10 seconds... EBWF actually allows us to show the fans we have a background, we are telling a story!
Susan Marasciulo: You look really happy and pumped about it.
Greg Marasciulo: Actually, I am!
She stood up and sat next to him on the couch, holding her son on her arms.
Susan Marasciulo: Just don't get hurt! How about your new boss?
Greg Marasciulo: He's alright.
Susan Marasciulo: Greg? How many people work with you?
Greg Marasciulo: I'm not sure... About 40 or 50 people?
Susan Marasciulo: Heck, that's a whole lot of pie! How about I send one to Mr. Ikeda?
Greg Marasciulo: Moooooom! Are you sure?
Susan Marasciulo: You just tell him I sent my regards. Think of it as a way of saying "Thanks for the tickets".
Susan Marasciulo will never change. She was always showing everyone love and appreciation. From his boss to his girlfriends and friends. Greg wasn't going to argue over a pie, so he held her and smiled, feeling happy and fulfilled to be home after so long.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 - Madison Square Garden - New York City.
The scene opened up to show Jonathan Coachman behind an EBWF Logo and a couple of LCD screens hanging from the ceiling. Wearing a black crisp suit, black shirt, pants and Italian shoes.
The Coach: Ladies and Gentlemen Welc...
SMACK! Concrete being smacked behind The Coach made him jump a bit, looking over his shoulder, he soon turned his attention back to the camera.
The Coach: As I was saying, I would personally like to welcome you to EBWF's Roya...
SMACK! Steel against concrete again, The Coach was startled and turned at the wall. He turned his attention to the camera.
The Coach: Did you hear...
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
The Coach: What the?
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! BAM! The wall collapsed onto the floor, the monitors fell to the floor. Dust and rocks all over the place, out from the hole of the wall, wearing protective goggles and a yellow helmet, denim overalls with a white wife beater underneath.
Trent Barreta: I did it!
The Coach: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Trent Barreta: What the hell does it look like I am doing? I am breaking the fourth wall, silly. I heard it's the hottest thing to do when you want to talk to your fans... CM Punk does it, Mr. Kennedy did it... But here I am! Doing it live! With my bare hands! See?
The Coach Rolled his eyes.
Trent Barreta: The hardest thing was picking up which wall was the fourth one and... Hey! Why don't you interview me?
The Coach: Right now?
Trent Barreta: No, after the Rumble. Of course right now silly! Don't you want to know what's on my mind for tonight's match? Actually, I don't care if you want to know, but my fans at home are dying to know what's on my mind? What is it because I'm not one of the top dogs? I know I'm no Miz, I'm no CM Punk and definitely -thank God- no Batista... I know I'm one of the little guys, one of those no one puts his chips in when placing the bet...
The Coach: We...
Trent Barreta: Don't interrupt! Still! Even if I don't win it! Even if I don't eliminate more people than Kane... I got two words for ya! No! not Suck it! Actually: Level up. Even if I make a fool out of myself out there... I will earn all the Experience Points baby! I will grow stronger and younger than aaaaaaall of the people in the rumble!
The Coach: Are you sure that's how it works?
Trent Barreta: Actually I like to think I'm like Mega Man. You know, after beating an opponent I would gain his ability... Let's see! If I beat John Cena I'd get the ability to Rap! If I beat the Miz I'd get the ability to moan and cry and pout for everything. If I beat RVD I'd get the ability to smoke weed! If I beat Steve Austin I would be able to open cans of asswhoop on whoever I wanted! If I beat Cody Rhodes I'd get the ability to give myself a Mani and pedi! If I beat Zack Ryder I'd get the ability to tan! If I beat Jeff Hardy I will get the ability to change my hair color at will! If I beat Dolph Ziggler... Or AJ Styles, What about Robert Roode? Stevie Richards? MVP? Ted Jr.? Tyler Reks? Sim Snuka? Wade Barret? Charlie Haas? Steven Richards? Drew McIntyre? Wow, what are their super powers anyway? Would it weaken me to beat them? Make me boring? and a Bad Wrestler?
Trent thought about it for a moment.
Trent Barreta: Hey Hey! If I beat the Undertaker I would turn into a deadman? COOL! I'd really like to beat Kane and gain his ability to make the four turnbuckles explode BAM!!!!!! If I beat Batista would I get the ability to bulk up and lose inches down there? That doesn't sound to cool... But if I beat CM Punk... I will get the ability to be the best 'rassler in da world? Beating JTG would get me siiiiiick grills on my teeth and the mathematical ability to deal drugs? What if I beat Mr. Kennedy! Would I get the ability to scream out loud? How about if I beat Carlito? Would I get an afro? Would beating the Rock grant me the skill to raise one eyebrow?
Trent frowned and furrowed his brows trying to raise one of them.
Trent Barreta: What about if I beat Paul London? Will I get time traveling abilities? Or Jericho, would I get his ability to be a rockstar if I beat him?
The Coach: What are you talking about?
Trent Barreta: You don't know Mega Man do you? Anyway Coach, tonight I am going out there to make a name for myself, I'm going to make people respect me and stop taking me for granted just because I love video games. I am going out there and eliminating as much people as I can! I know the 30 people in the match want to go to Wrestlemania... I wonder if I buy them 29 front row tickets they'd allow me to win this thing? Would you accept such an offer?
The Coach: Of c...
Trent Barreta: Rhetorical question Coach! Of course you would! But do you know what is the best ability I can get tonight? The ability to instantly become WrestleMania Eleven's main eventer in a World Title match! That's the biggest ability I could obtain after tonight!
Trent smiled.
Trent Barreta: Now it doesn't matter how tall, fat, experienced , extreme, loud or gangsta you are! This man, Trent Barreta is NOT standing down. I will not stop until I have no energy left in my body! You see Coach I've been practicing on the locker room, on EBWF 12's hardest difficulty, and I have already won this match up five times. Which makes me a FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME, FIVE TIME, FIIIIIIVE TIIIIIME Royal Rumble winner! I even started at #1 and worked my way up to eliminating the last man... So Being at number 23 isn't half bad! You know? I kina feel sorry for having to go against Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, but just like I beat Curt a couple of weeks ago on Warfare, I have to show them I can reach far with this talent ant their teachings! Mom is watching this match, so are my little brother and sister... Imma go out there and Imma put the best show I can! Coach! You see, not very often the Royal Rumble comes to the big apple, MY BIG APPLE, and as a proud New Yorker I will go out there and show the world and the other 29 superstars that are competing what we New Yorkers are made off! Now, with the fourth wall broken, and most -if not all- of the possible powers and abilities I can obtain if I win this figured out... IT'S DUDEBUSTING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Trent Jumped out through the hole of the wall, removed his helmet and goggles, undid his overalls to show he had his wrestling gear under before sprinting away from The Coach as the Scene faded to black.
