PROMO: Fifteen Months

[Guest Longdogger_Pete]

The following is a pretaped interview...

 

Backstage in the X Force 9 locker room, Ben Hardy stands next to an irate Peter MacDougal, microphone in hand. "I'm here with X Force 9 leader Longdogger Pete, who has requested this interview time to personally respond to some recent comments made by Creative Control member Perfect Bo. Pete?" Hardy hands the microphone off to Pete, who takes it and shoves the junior commentator out of the camera's view.

 

"Get out of here, Hardy, you like your mother dressed you up at a Star Wars convention." Pete turns his attention away from the SWF interviewer and faces the camera. "Perfect Bo. You know I've heard an awful lot about you in the last couple of years. Perfect Bo, one of the most aggressive sumbitches in the bid'ness. Perfect Bo, who apparently thinks of himself as some kind of bad ass, but who in reality is little more than an Imperfect Bonehead! Let me tell you something, Bo. You may call me a 'youngster,' just because I haven't been around the SWF very long, but you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm 35 years old, dumbass. I have a thirteen-year career in the bid'ness and I've held four world titles over the course of that career. My record as a champion speaks for itself."

 

Pete stops and scratches his chin, as if realizing something for the first time.

 

"You know something, Bo, this isn't the first time you and I crossed paths. Remember a certain World title tournament in the IGNJL over a year ago? In case you don't, let me show you."

 

The scene changes as a video recap is played from an IGNJL Wrath episode dated May 6, 2001...

 

* * * * *

 

Longdogger Pete slowly gets to his feet. He stumbles and nearly trips over Mistress Sarah. He reaches down and pulls her near lifeless body up. He hooks her arms and drives her forehead to the mat!

 

EC: THE CLOGGER! He got it this time!

BobbyR: Longdogger Pete pulls off the Longdogger Clogger in a last minute desperation move!

EC: And now can he escape the cage?!

 

Longdogger Pete manages to get to his feet. He's reeling and catches himself on the cage before falling back to the mat. Mistress Sarah is out cold from the Clogger! Now's his chance! Longdogger Pete climbs up the ropes and grabs onto the cage. Slowly, he climbs toward the top.

 

BobbyR: Mistress Sarah shows no sign of stirring!

EC: So long as he doesn't try anything stupid again, Pete's got this one won!

BobbyR: It looks like he's going up and over!

 

Longdogger Pete makes it to the top and stands on the cage. A chant arises as he raises his fists to the crowd, "L-D-P! L-D-P!" Pete turns and starts the slow climb down the opposite side of the cage!

 

EC: Kluk! This one's over! All Longdogger Pete has to do is touch both feet on the ground and he's advancing to the final round!

BobbyR: WAIT! WHO'S THAT COMING DOWN THE RAMP!?!

EC: KABOOM! It's Perfect Bo!

BobbyR: PERFECT BO!? Of the IGNWF!? What's he doing here?!

 

Sure enough, Perfect Bo heads down the ramp in a sprint. He reaches the bottom of the cage as Longdogger Pete prepares to jump off. Pete doesn't know he's there! Despite the loud booing of the crowd, he doesn't know! Perfect Bo stands under him and as Pete drops for the win, Bo catches him in midair!

 

BobbyR: Perfect Bo deprives Longdogger Pete of the win!

EC: Kluk! He can't hold him forever! Mistress Sarah is just now stirring!

BobbyR: It looks as though Pete's too tired to free himself from Bo's grasp!

EC: Kaboom! Bo's carrying Pete to the door!

 

Perfect Bo heads for the door to the cage. He shouts at the referee.

 

Bo: Open the door, you sniveling striper!

 

The referee complies and quickly unlocks the cage door. He throws it open and Perfect Bo shoves Pete back through the ropes and into the ring! Bo grabs the door and slams it shut, on Pete's leg! The weakened Longdogger Pete cries out and grabs his leg, only to have Perfect Bo slam the door on it again!

 

EC: Perfect Bo is tearing up Pete's leg!

BobbyR: Why is he even out here?!

EC: He must like Mistress Sarah, too!

 

Mistress Sarah finally makes it to her feet. She staggers a bit before stumbling to Pete. Sarah has to wipe the blood from her face to see. She grabs Pete's arm with a bloody hand and stands him up. Mistress Sarah turns with Pete's arm ...

 

BobbyR: Mistress Sarah's going for the Khamsin!

 

The crowd continues to boo at Perfect Bo's presence in the arena. Sarah holds the wrench, causing Pete to yelp in pain. He grabs his shoulder. Mistress Sarah throws her leg around and drops!

 

EC: The Khamsin! There you have it! The Khamsin!

BobbyR: Pete is out cold!

 

Mistress Sarah stands shakily and stumbles back against the ropes. The crowd begins to cheer her on. "Sar-rah! Sar-rah! Sar-rah!" the crowd chants as the Mistress climbs the ropes. Perfect Bo turns to the crowd and shouts, but his voice is nearly drowned out.

 

Bo: That's *Mistress* Sarah to you!

 

Perfect Bo shakes a different side of the cage, urging Mistress Sarah on. He moves around to the side where she's climbing and waits below. Mistress Sarah reaches the top of the cage and straddles it. She sits there a moment, catching her breath. The crowd cheers as Pete starts to stir! Bo shouts at Sarah to hurry up! Mistress Sarah stands on the cage and faces Pete.

 

BobbyR: She's not going to do something stupid like we saw Pete do earlier, is she?!

EC: I hope not! She'll get killed!

 

Mistress Sarah raises weary arms to the crowd, and then falls ... backward!

 

BobbyR: WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS MISTRESS SARAH DOING?!

EC: Perfect Bo is right there! CATCH HER!!

 

Mistress Sarah seems to fall forever, but Perfect Bo is right there. He catches her! Bo sets Mistress Sarah to the ground, holding her steady. The referee stands in shock for a moment, but regains his senses and waves for the bell.

 

* DING * DING * DING *

 

Funyon: Advancing to the final round, your winner ... Mistress Sarah!

 

Bobby Riley and Exploding Chicken are still in shock. They stare, jaws on the floor. Pete rolls onto his belly and lifts his head. He notices Mistress Sarah outside the cage, and with Perfect Bo! He slams his fist to the mat!

 

BobbyR: Mistress Sarah pulls off the win with a daredevil stunt!

EC: Kluk, KABOOM! Longdogger Pete can't believe it!

 

"Dragula" by Rob Zombie kicks up as Perfect Bo and the ref each hold one of Mistress Sarah's arms in victory. Bo shoves the referee away and holds Sarah's up. Half the crowd cheers and the other half boos. The IGNWF wrestler helps Mistress Sarah up the ramp as "Dragula" continues to pulse through the arena.

"...so you see, Imperfect Boner, you've been a thorn in my side for quite some time. One nagging pain that I've wanted to take care of for a long time. Now, I was perfectly willing to put aside our differences and welcome you into X Force 9 with open arms. I was able to do that with Sarah Leavenworth, and everyone else that has been admitted into XF9. But you took my trust and you threw that back in my face. Well, that's fine, Bo, but you're going to have to answer for your misdeeds. I don't care who you've got a beef with here in the SWF, but you aren't going to get anywhere until you've gone through me. I don't care what you think about my seven X Force 9 guys, just like I don't give much thought to your, what is it, two and a half, in Creative Control? It all comes down to just you and me, Bo. You and me. You've made this personal, so here it is. I'm laying it on the line for you. The challenge is made. Come Apocalypse... it'll be the Perfect One and the One Man Wrecking Crew... one on one. I await your answer."

 

Pete tosses the microphone back at Ben Hardy and storms off.

History = teh roq. I never knew about that....it definitely adds a different dimension to this feud. This has some potential.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

The historian busts out the history! Very interesting method. I remember that match and thinking "whoa, Bo in the JL helping Sarah? Weird." I don't remember if that ever really got explained, but it's a cool hook into this seemingly imminent program.

[Guest TheSatanicAngel]

It didn't ever go anywhere, come to think of it. At the time, Bo had come to me about joining a reformed Anarchy when I got to the WF (boy was he scouting early!). Oh, LDP ... (Y) promo.

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

LDP with the challenge. Oooo baby.

 

Toss a stip into it...

 

*cough*ambulancematch*cough*

 

You know that would rule! You know it!!!! DOOOO IT! We'll make it the bloodiest top of the card ever. LDP/Bo in an ambulance match, me vs. edwin, no holds barred, plus JD's match and you know Erek/TBS is going to be something brutal.

 

DOOOOOO IT!

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

::thinks::

 

::agrees::

 

Though if Bo/LDP turns out to be an extended feud, Ambulance might be a bit much for first time...buuuuut it has lotsa potential to go other ways and build to something bigger. Oh, fun.

 

Pre-ppv buzz time is always the best time...

[Guest HVilleThugg]

I tell you what I like the most about this series of promos. It's putting a bit of an RP-fed feel on things here. We have to segway into it differently, but all these promos have just been Bo and LDP talking shit to each other in promo form...so, it's kind of like an RP, except, you have to put Ben Hardy at the beginning. I like it...it shows that every promo doesn't have to be an event-advancement in a storyline, but you can also advance the storyline by just adding heat through an RP-type promo where you just talk shit.

 

I like it...well done gentlemen.

 

Da "uh....getting tired of doing these" H
