Opening promo

[Guest kelloggs]

I fell asleep... and therefore didn't finish this until this morning. Well here it is... sorry folks. I guess a Mod could put it into the show, if they want.

-------------

 

A large flash of elaborate pyrotechnics goes off and SJL Crimson comes into the homes of all its viewers around the world.

 

“We are coming to you LIVE from the Viking Hall arena in South Philadelphia for Smarks Junior Leagues Crimson.” Yells Axis over the random chants in the background.

 

“Yes and we have a great show in store with a European Title defense, a STEEL pipe match and a TLCC match all before our main event.”

 

“And if you don’t know what TLCC is then just imagine… TABLES… LADDERS… CHAIRS… AND CANES in one match!!”

 

“But enough about that as we are opening the show with a threeway match-up - ”

 

And of course Axis gets interrupted as the lights dim and “Down with the Sickness” blares over the arena PA system. “I expected to be interrupted but why does it have to be him…”

 

‘Are you Ready?’

 

‘Are you Ready?!?’

 

 

 

 

 

‘CAUSE THE FRANCHISE IS HERE!!’

 

And out of the curtain comes the self proclaimed Franchise Mak Francis holding up three fingers and in a little different ring attire, since he never has come out with a valet in a cheerleading outfit. Mak’s new clothes consist of yellow tights and his black boots have some sort of yellow strings hanging around the side. Francis smirks as he walks down the isle and onto the ring apron. After a little tribute to the Triple threat member Chris Candito by strutting across the apron, Francis enters the ring and brings his new “Head Cheerleader” with him.

 

“What in the bloody hell is Mak doing?”

 

“I don’t know but it looks great!”

 

“What did Francis bring that girl out here for?”

 

By this time the “Head Cheerleader” has bent down and feigned doing what her name suggests. And if you don’t know them I’m not going to tell you. But even after all the playing to the crowd Francis STILL gets booed.

 

“Well, she’s a cheerleader and she gives head therefore she must be the “Head Cheerleader”! That’s classic stuff Mak. You do the God of Heels proud.”

 

The crowd responds with just boos as the hate Mak Francis’s routine just as much as they hated Shane Douglas’s. Mak is fuming now because he was at least expecting some pop because it’s his hometown and he pulled out the Triple threat routine.

 

“ What the hell is this?” yells Francis into his mic. “I just gave you the best damn show you’ve ever seen and you STILL boo your hometown hero.”

 

Francis paces about the ring while talking. “I did everything right and you boo me. ME! I PUT PHILLY ON THE MAP! Your sports teams haven’t won a Championship since the eighties. Your school system is in total disarray and I know I’m the only thing for you to be proud of!”

 

And the Viking Hall crowd responds with “YOU SUCK DICK” chant further aggravating the man pacing in the ring. A few fans have their own words for the Franchise but some things just shouldn’t be repeated.

 

“These fans really laying into Mak.”

 

“But why? He’s only speaking the truth.”

 

Mak singles out one of the fans by pointing at him. “Yeah that’s what I told your mother last night, you piece of trash!” Francis is wearing a hole into the canvas with all his pacing about the ring. “Anyways that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about C!... I!... A!... and just how lucky he is.”

 

And at that his hometown crowd cheers the fun loving face.

 

“Yeah cheer him all you want but that crowd whore has been dodging me every chance he gets. And do you want to know why. It’s because he knows the he can’t beat me straight up, one on one!” Francis finally stops pacing, leaning against the ropes for effect. “He can climb out of a steel cage… and pin Thor just fine but when it comes to getting a pin fall or submission over me…”

 

 

“HE HASN’T DONE EITHER AND I’VE DONE BOTH TO HIM!”

 

 

"It's all Myers fault. He's given CIA the chance to dodge me by attacking me with that steel chair... weaking me for that submission hold Harmony. Fugue knows that I would have countered if I didn't have a damn concussion. Everybody knows! And just so that everybodies clear I have NEVER tapped out in my entire career and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon." Francis paces about the ring AGAIN and comes back to the ropes. "Myers, you screwed me out of my chance to break Mike's leg like I should have last time and then move on to getting back my belt. You've been in my business for FAR to long... running into matches and "accidentaly" hitting me with my own World title and now last week. Give me a break, you should have just done what I told you over the phone. You need to know your role. And Matt we ARE going to settle this. I don't know how... I don't know when but there are no more co leaders. There can be only one sWo leader and we'll find out who that is soon!"

 

Tbe crowd starts up random dueling “Show your tits” and “Suck my dick” chants because this is Philly after all. But Francis tells his “Head Cheerleader” to keep her top on, of course getting more boos. He tries to ignore them except for a few fans in the front row, which he gives the finger.

 

“But I digress, CIA know this and know it well. You can’t dodge me tonight in that ring. And you can’t stop me from getting MY BELT BACK! And as much as you want to say that this is about something else. That it’s about pride… it isn’t for me. It’s always been about the belt. But if you want this to be about pride then that’s fine for you. I will win back my belt and you will lose your pride…”

 

Francis stalls a little trying to get the crowd to quiet down. “And who the FUCK are you to tell me otherwise.”

 

“Some strong words from Francis here tonight.” Comments Axis as King just laughs.

 

“ “The Franchise” telling it like it is to all that’ll listen and that border hopping reject better be on the look out because the Mak Attack is after him.”

 

“Yup so you have to be pumped up about tonight’s Main Event, that I booked of course! And the sWo seems to be falling apart at the seams, which means happy days are here again. ”
