Promo: Ambitions - Moments After Storm

[Guest Tod deKindes]

**Gus the cameraman accompanies Kevin Cole as they find their way towards the (in)famous XF9 dressing room, to which the door is opened a crack.**

 

Cole: I'm here outside the dressing room of Tod deKindes, the winner of tonight's Over The Top Rope elimination challenge, whom in term won the rights to choose his own entry number for the Clusterfuck match on February 1st. (knocks on door) We're gonna try and get a word with him to see if he's made any decision thus far...

 

Tod: (yelling from inside the room) Beat it!

 

Cole: Tod, since you've won tonight's Top Rope challenge, we were hoping to ask you if you've chosen your entry number at Clusterfuck. Did you choose a number?

 

Tod: Well, Cole ... Yeah, I'll answer that ...

 

Cole: All right.

 

Tod: My answer is ... ... Yes, I have chosen a number!

 

**Furrowing his brow at the camera, knowing that he's been had; Cole clears his throat and continues on.**

 

Cole: We were hoping to get a word with you, can we come in?

 

Tod: Yeah, I actually like ya.

 

**Gus pushes the door open, allowing he and the interviewer to step inside. Tod was fresh out of his ring gear and back into street clothes, and piling everything in his suitcase.**

 

Cole: Tod, Clusterfuck is only a week away; what number did you choose?

 

Tod: See Cole, I had a few hours to think about it. After tossing Alex Zenon out on his ASS, which I'm sure will happen again, I came back here and took a long hot shower. I thought about it. And I thought about it. Do I defy the odds, go the distance, try to win the big one and enter at #1? Do I just randomly pick a number and hope for the best? I mean, hey, I DID win tonight, did I not?

 

Cole: Right.

 

Tod: Then, I thought, hey, why not #20? I'd have the shortest night of work cut out for me! But then again, last guy in never really wins, does he?

 

Cole: Not really.

 

Tod: So then, it hit me ... Cole, I don't see black, white, red, blue or green in this company, I see only GOLD. So MY PICK ... for the Clusterfuck match ... (clears throat) ... (reaches into his suitcase for his water bottle) ...

 

Cole: ... Yeees?

 

Tod: (takes a long swig) ... ... (swallows) ... 19.

 

Cole: (eyebrow raised) What?

 

Tod: You heard me! #19.

 

Cole: Any special reasoning behind that choice?

 

Tod: Oh yeah! A) I'm not paid by the hour, and 2) I actually wanna WIN this thing, nay, I'm actually gonna WIN this thing; if tonight is any indication ...

 

Cole: All right, well, with that said; good luck on February 1st.

 

Tod: I need luck as much as you need a WOMAN, Cole! I've been on a freakin' ROLL lately. And I don't intend it to stop.

 

Cole: All right. (turning to camera) This is Kevin Cole. We'll see you this Saturday.

What happened to the German speaking face that we all knew and loved.

 

Ah well, kick some ass at the 'Fuck, man.

[Guest Tod deKindes]

Read my stats, Brick Jr.

Read my stats, Brick Jr.

I know... I have... I just really miss the German, that's all.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

We've been waiting for this? I'll make up my own reasons for Tod choosing 19. Like it's his shoe size or IQ or something like that.

[Guest Suicide King]

I think the fall back option of "There's something really really wrong with Tod's brain" still works.

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

"I wanted to come in last, but you know, the guy who comes in last NEVER wins. So I picked the next best thing."

[Guest Suicide King]

Can anyone recall the last time someone who came in next-to-last won?

 

No?

 

Shoot.

Can anyone recall the last time someone who came in next-to-last won?

 

No?

 

Shoot.

Good point, heh.

[Guest Tod deKindes]

EDIT: Lost my cool for a sec.

 

I dunno why you guys are so uptight about this, but I told King to put the card up anyway instead of waiting for me.

 

I usually have plans on friday nights, so you'll excuse me for not doing it sooner.

[Guest Suicide King]

It's cool dude. We're just uptight naturally.
