The Road to Wrestle Mania: One Man's Journey to the Top
Chapter II
Enter The Peep Show
In the WWE, it is all about making an impact. Drake Williams did just that when he defeated Orlando Jordan in Drakes' Smackdown debut. Of course, Jordan was not happy about it and beat down the newcomer. Then Chris Benoit made the save and then congratulated Drake on his first victory. That win was only the first of many victories for Drake Williams as he has made it to the big leagues.
Two weeks later after his debut, Drake got word that he was going to be a guest on the Peep Show hosted by Christian. That would be later tonight so Drake took the time to rest a bit. It's been said that you do not have many friends in the WWE, but Drake has made many friends in the short time he has been there. Some of the most notable have been Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio and Batista. But Drake has had his eye on a certain diva lately; Christy Hemme. He'd have talk to her later as the Peep Show was getting set up. When the show came back from commercial, everything was ready for the Peep Show and Christian was in the ring.
"Welcome once again to the hottest interview segment on Friday nights; the Peep Show" Christian announced. "The show by the peeps and for the peeps." "Tonight's guest is the new kid who's making a big time impact on Smackdown." "Put your hands together for Drake Williams."
Drake Williams came out to a nice pop from the crowd and now has his own theme music. He decided to take his time and soak up the reaction before stepping into the ring. Even so, Drake remained on guard since he knew how Christian usually acted. Drake stepped into the ring with microphone in hand as the audience chanted his last name. Drake figured that he must have made an impact on Smackdown to get this type of reaction from the fans. Christian did not all that impressed.
"Looks like you've been on role as of late, Drake." Christian said. Drake gave a little smirk and answered, "I guess you can say that." "But I'm not one to brag."
"But let's be honest, kid." Christian said. "The GM's been going easy on you." "Anyone can beat Orlando Jordan nowadays." "You just got lucky." Drake cocked his eyebrow at Christian before saying, "Really, well if I was lucky, how about you and me go right here tonight?"
The music of Orlando Jordan hit the arena as he stormed to the ring. Drake Williams stood his ground as he did not take his eyes off Christian. Orlando stepped into the ring and got in Drake's face. Clearly Orlando felt embarrassed and humiliated by the young rookie.
"He's right, ya know!" Said Orlando. "That win was a fluke and you know it." "You didn't beat me." Drake rolled him eyes and replied, "Aw, cry me a damn river, OJ." "At least you didn't TAP OUT!"
That little remark was the straw that broke the camels back as Orlando and Drake went at it again. Christian decided to just sit back and let them fight until Orlando went flying out of the ring. Jordan wanted to get back into the ring but instead chickened out as the crowd chanted "you tapped out." Drake stood tall in the ring and dared Orlando Jordan to come and get some more, but Orlando walked out to a chorus of boos. Drake's music started playing as the newcomer looked at Christian, who did not want to cause any trouble. Drake Williams climbed the turnbuckle and played to the crowd as the show went to commercial.
When Smackdown returned from commercial, Michael Cole and Tazz announced that General Manager Theodore Long has signed a match to take place at the Survivor Series. Drake Williams and Orlando each had to find three partners as it would be an elimination match. This would indeed mark Drake's pay-per-view debut so he would have to pick some good partners if he wanted to win. Drake knew of at least one guy he would want on his team; Chris Benoit. Drake found Chris having some coffee with a stage hand and approached him.
"Hey Benoit, you got a minute?" Drake asked. Chris Benoit saw Drake as the stage hand left and replied, "What's up, Drake?" "You heard about the match that Teddy Long set for Survivor Series and I figured that you'd be one of my partners." "What do you say?"
Chris Benoit took a moment to think about it and finally said, "You want me for a partner, you've got it."
Chris Benoit agreed to be one of Drake's partners at the PPV and went on his way. Drake was pleased to know that Benoit would have his back at Survivor Series, but now he had to find two more partners and he would have to be quick about it. WWE Survivor Series was only nine days away.
Author's note: As I said before, Drake Williams is my OC so I ask that you not steal him. That wouldn't be cool. Review please.
