Promo: Post Ashes to Ashes interview

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

Armed with a microphone and a cameraman, Ben Hardy ambushes Danny Williams in the parking garage of the Frank Erwin Center. Williams’ nose is swollen, and he’s wearing dark sunglasses to hide his blackened eyes. He is in street clothes, and is obviously slipping out of the arena a tad early than everybody else.

 

Hardy: Excuse me, Mr. Williams, I was wondering if I could trouble you for a brief interview.

 

Williams: Sure, it’s nice to see an interviewer that’s actually interested in the new U.S. Champion, rather than all that sport’s entertainment nonsense that’s been stinking up the place. That why I am leaving early, to avoid that lousy Post Pay Per View press conference.

 

Hardy: So, um.....I would like to start the interview by...

 

Williams: Congratulating me on my big win?

 

Hardy: uh yeah,.....congratulations.

 

Williams: Thank you. You know, ever since I entered the SWF......

 

Hardy: So, have you got any word on how Mercury’s doing?

 

Williams: I don’t know really, I was busy winning the U.S. title in the biggest match of.....

 

Hardy: Do you have any idea who might have attacked him, and why?

 

Williams: uh.....no, probably one of those weird Japanese dudes. Anyway as I was saying, ever since I entered the SWF, I had a goal......

 

Hardy: So what are your thoughts on the return of HvilleThugg?

 

Williams: I don’t have any, really. I was too concerned with beating Annie in the biggest match of my career.

 

Hardy: Speaking of Annie, do think the Midnight Carnival is taking a big risk in letting her in, considering her past.

 

Williams: What the hell are you talking about?

 

Hardy: O.K., scratch that one. With the addition of Annie Eclectic, do you think that Alex Zenon will return to the Midnight Carnival?

 

Williams: How the hell should I know! Are you listening to word I’m saying? I just defeated the U.S. Champion, in the biggest victory of my career and all you can do is ask me about stupid rumors! Who put you up to this, was it Annie?

 

Hardy: No...............I just wanted to.....uh......get you thoughts on the Pay per view, that’s all.....honest.

 

Williams: Well let me tell you my thoughts on the Pay Per View! If that little bitch didn’t break my nose with a lucky shot, I would have put her away within the first ten minutes! No wonder no one cares about my belt, after a disgrace like her soiled it’s once great legacy! I will restore the belt to it’s original value, and take on all challengers!

 

Hardy: Even Annie?

 

Williams: Your damn right, Hardy! If she has the balls, which she probably does, I will gladly put that woman in her place again. Hell, we can do it at Smarkdown if she wants.

 

Hardy: O.K., well I’m Ben Hardy, and that was Danny Williams.

 

Williams: you mean THE NEW U.S. CHAMPION, DANNY WILLIAMS!

 

Hardy: What ever you say, champ.

 

Williams: Good, now get the hell out of my way!

 

Coming close to pissing his jeans, Hardy nervously gets out of Williams’ way, allowing him to hop in his pick up truck and speed out of the arena. Camera fades out.

Crappy...

 

Crappy like a FOX~!

 

I liked it, personally. The only change I might have made, if you're stll writing Danny as a roid freak, would have been to make Hardy's questions a little more reasonable. There might be a little TOO much empathy for Danny in this promo... hell, I wanted to smack Hardy.

[Guest Thoth]

Legacy of the US belt. huh?

 

*looks at myself*

 

Well, I think you've got a good shot at the record. Good promo that helped me connect with Danny's feelings. And I bet some of your RL feelings as well.

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

sw33t like ninja

 

Hmm... do I smell a rematch? I better. And once again Danny lies by giving a great promo and saying it's crappy.

 

*shakes fist*

 

Damn youse!!!

I saw the headline "Crappy Promo" and eagerly began to read...

 

...only to find out that it was a TRICK, and that it wasn't crappy at all, as advertised! Instead, it was great!

 

Lying slut!

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

The "crappy" thing was a joke, coming from the Ashes to Ashes comments thread, which I had just finished reading when I was posting the promo. Where I think it was Ash, that joked that I couldn't take a compliment.

[Guest HVilleThugg]

I can't say that I've read a ton of your promos, but now that I've returned, I guess I should start to keep up on things...

 

I really liked that promo. It was short, too the point...and it actually seemed like a post-PPV interview...in character of course. I like how Hardy just kept aasking questions about other people, kind of keeping this whole thing going with Danny and him being under-appreicated. Well done danno...well done.
