Do you have what it takes?

The scene fades in, showing Chris DeAngelo, Lane Kennedy, Gabriel Victore and Peter Hawthorne arriving on a convertible jeep driven by a man in a black suit, to the so talked about House. Declan Hunter, Justin Connelly and Mickey Robinson arrive on another jeep right behind. All the participants walk out of their vehicle with a surprised look on their faces as they see the four trainers. They line up in front of Chris Jericho, the host and the head trainer of Path to Superstardom. He walks from side to side in front of them, wondering. Behind him stand, wearing casual clothes, Triple H, Edge and Muhammad Hassan.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
So, you all think you've got what it takes?... Six men... EWE was started with four men who had what it takes. Three of which are in your presence right now. Me...Randy Orton, and Edge. The three of us started EWE, and held our first show with only us being under official contractual obligations. Now I see six people in front of me, ready for a huge test that will determine the rest of their lives!...You...

Jericho slowly walks up to Chris DeAngelo, with a clipboard...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Chris DeAngelo, six foot three, 243 pounds...Known to be agile...People say you're a charismatic guy, that's good...You're also known to be an arrogant son of a bitch, Jericho lowers the clipboard and stares DeAngelo through his sunglasses... You think that will take you anywhere in this business? It won't...Change your attitude, that's the first advice I'll give you...Why do you think you have what it takes to be an EWE Superstar, DeAngelo?

TBC: DEANGELO

=The Next EWE Superstar=
:::Chris DeAngelo:::
Do I have what it takes? You're asking Chris DeAngelo what it takes? DeAngelo stares into Chris Jericho's eyes with absolutely no fear. You're damn right I have what it takes. I have competed in Ring of Honor. Stole the show. I've competed down in Japan & Mr. Jericho, you know personally how hard that is. A completely intense staredown between the two.

=The Next EWE Superstar=
::Chris DeAngelo:::
I will try my best to reduce my cockiness in respect for a great Superstar, you. And, Mr. Jericho, it's been an honor speaking to you... DeAngelo puts his hand out, awaiting a handshake.

Jericho shakes his hand and nods.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
You can head out into the house, participants' room. Remember, this is the last day of your old life if you really want to win this.

Chris DeAngelo walks towards the house. Jericho then steps near Gabriel Victore, and looks back at the clipboard.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Gabriel Vic...Vic-what?

JAP SEMI-VETERAN
GABRIEL VICTORE
Victore, sir...

Jericho chuckles...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Oh right, Gabriel Victore, 226 pounds, five foot nine...Known for past in Japan...

Jericho looks at Gabriel as if waiting for information...

JAP SEMI-VETERAN
GABRIEL VICTORE
Three years, sir...

Jericho nods with a smile...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Three years in Japan. Known for technical ability and for being liked by colleagues...Nice, are you an ass-kisser?

Gabriel seems confused...

JAP SEMI-VETERAN
GABRIEL VICTORE
I'm no ass-kisser, sir...

Jericho nods...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Good...Why do you think you're good enough?

Gabriel then replies without hesitating.

JAP SEMI-VETERAN
GABRIEL VICTORE
Because I know my shit, I know what I'm doing in the ring, I know safety and I know teamwork better than anybody you'll see in this competition, sir.

Jericho nods and shakes Gabriel Victore's hand.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
I like your attitude, feel free to head to the house.

Gabriel nods and releases the handshake, picks up his bag and walks away. Jericho steps next to Lane Kennedy.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
What about you big man? Jericho looks at the clipboard. Lane Kennedy, 245 pounds, six foot five. You look like you have potential...Known to be very humble...Why do you think you have what it takes?

TBC: LANE KENNEDY

Subject: Re: Do you have what it takes? Sat May 21, 2011 3:59 pm

Lane stands up straight with his hands behind his back looking at Chris Jericho.

Lane Kennedy
Because this is all I want in life sir, this is all I have ever wanted in life since I was a little kid. I have tried hundreds of other professions, and I have either failed at it, or it just didn't click with me. But I am one hundred and ten percent sure that I am not only mean to do this, but I am meant to go down in history as one of the best at it. Unlike these other people around me, I don't want this for the money or the fame, I respect this business like nothing else. I want this because if I don't get this...I have no reason to live.

Lane Kennedy extends his hand out to Chris Jericho.

Lane Kennedy
Now I just hope that you give me the same respect I give this business sir.

TBC: Chris Jericho

Subject: Re: Do you have what it takes? Sat May 21, 2011 4:09 pm

Jericho shakes his hand and nods once again.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Go...

Lane Kennedy picks up his bag and leaves as Jericho steps now in front of Declan Hunter.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
What about you, why do you think you should be the next EWE Superstar?

TBC: ANYBODY ELSE

Subject: Re: Do you have what it takes? Sat May 21, 2011 8:40 pm

Declan looks nervous as EWE owner, Chris Jericho, stands merely inches from his face. He knows that first impressions are everything, and this moment is make it or break it.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
I should be the next EWE Superstar because this is what I was born to do.

Jericho pulls his glasses down a little bit and looks at Declan, raising an eyebrow.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
I'm not going to tell you some kind of sob story about achieving my dreams or not wanting the money and fame. I simply want to become the next EWE Superstar because I know, that if given the chance, I can shake the foundations of this company to it's very core. The fact is, I traveled all the way from the United Kingdom to be here, and I'm not about to let this chance pass me by.

A droplet of sweat starts to run down Declan's forehead. Jericho notices it, then smiles, and flips over a page on his clipboard.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Declan Hunter. Says here that you competed on the independent circuit over in England... How long were you doing that?

Declan maintains his stance and eye contact with his potential boss.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
Four years sir. And three years being trained by Dave Taylor before tha-

Jericho cuts him off by raising his hand slightly

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
I didn't ask who trained you, kid, I just asked how long you'd been wrestling. Tell me, how's your in-ring work?

Declan breaks eye contact with Jericho, but realizes his mistake and looks back at him, fumbling his hands around behind his back.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
Top notch, sir. I'm the best wrestler in this competition.

Declan looks down slightly as Jericho moves closer to his face.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Are you confident in your abilities, Declan?

Declan looks away.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
Yes sir, I am.

Sweat is pouring down Declan's forehead now as Jericho has an extremely serious look on his face.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
That's a lie, Declan. How can I be confident in you if you aren't even confident in yourself?

Declan looks up at Jericho with an irritated look on his face.

UK INDY STAR
DECLAN HUNTER
I'll prove it to you sir, I'll dominate this whole competi-

Jericho raises his hand again to stop Declan talking.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
You sure talk a good game, but can you back it all up? That remains to be seen. Get your ass up to the house.

Jericho motions for Declan to go. The UK Indy Star picks up his bag and shuts his eyes, realizing that he may have already blown his chance, then he slowly walks up towards the house.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Who else wants to step up? Huh? What's the matter? I don't bite.

The remaining three do not move an inch, but instead wait for Jericho to call one of them.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Fine... Let's see, oh here's an interesting name. Peter Hawthorne 238 pounds, six foot two...Known for... huh? Nevermind this, step up son.

Hawthorne takes a step to the front.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
SIR YES SIR!

Jericho looks pissed off.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Are you taking this as a joke?

Hawthorne quickly replies.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
SIR NO SIR!

Jericho chuckles.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
At ease!

Hawthorne smiles.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
So, any experience?

Hawthorne is nervous and takes time to respond to the question. But he pulls himself together and looks into Jericho's eyes.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
Been amateur wrestling for years and have studied basic Martial Arts. I feel it's time to make it pro.

Jericho looks at the board again.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Sounds like you're good at what you do, why do you want to risk it?

Jericho still looking at the board.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
I can tell you whatever I want. I can say that I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid or I can tell you that I have cancer and only three weeks to live and I want to give it a shot. Fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter why I'm doing this.

Jericho lowers the board and looks at Hawthorne.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Fine, then how are you planning on becoming a pro wrestler.

Peter Hawthorne smiles again.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
I have all the makings. I can already wrestle. I don't need a stage name, my name is better than any name I could be given. I have long hair and a beard, just like you... you know, when you were young...

Hawthorne just realized what he said and looks very nervous.

THE MANLY MAN
PETER HAWTHORNE
Should I...

Jericho acting like he doesn't give a fuck.

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Leave!

Hawthorne fixes his bag on his shoulder and walks to the house.

Jericho chuckles...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Okay, I've heard enough. You two, pick up your bags and head to the house.

Mickey Robinson and Justin Connelly pick up their bags and leave. Jericho turns to his trainers...

THE KING OF THE WORLD
CHRIS JERICHO
Well, I think these last three might just be our underdogs... They don't seem to have any personality if you ask me, they just stand here like three buffoons. I think Hawthorne answered for Robinson and Connelly, don't you think?

TBC: HHH, EDGE OR HASSAN

Subject: Re: Do you have what it takes? Sun May 22, 2011 9:34 am

[Triple H watches the three men leave, turns to Jericho.]

King Of EWE // Triple H
I'll be honest Chris, I really don't see Robinson and Connelly getting very far in this competition.

[Hunter has irritated look on his face, as he continues]

King Of EWE // Triple H
Hawthorne. I think he has the personality, but he come across as an arrogant asshole, but thats my opinion. I think out of those three Hawthorne could do better than Robinson and Connelly.

[HHH pauses as Jericho nods his head in agreement]

King Of EWE // Triple H
I'm looking foward to seeing how they do in the first challenge.

TBC: Jericho or Edge

The Rated-R Superstar
Edge
I don't see Hawthorne getting far in this competition. Especially insulting you or any of us who have made it big time.

Triple H nods at Edge in agreement.

The Rated-R Superstar
Edge
He doesn't have professional wrestling experience. I can't wait to see what the hell he can do in the skill challenges. Especially in the bumping challenge..

TBC: Any other trainers.
