Promo: Ultimate Revenge

[David Blazenwing 0]

A door to a beautiful house opens, then quickly slams shut.

 

The former superhero David Blazenwing, who suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of John Duran on the last episode of SJL Crimson, has just entered his home in beautiful Oak Creek, Wisconsin. His girlfriend, Jen, is waiting for him.

 

“David,” Jen looks on disapprovingly, “You’ve got that look in your eyes again.”

 

David stops and looks her in the eyes. “What look, Jen? WHAT LOOK? YOU SEE A LOOK IN MY EYES? WELL, GOOD FOR YOU! WHAT KIND OF LOOK IS IT, JEN? WHY DON’T YOU TELL ME?”

 

Jen steps back. “It’s the kind of look that says you’re ready to kill somebody.”

 

David starts walking again. “Oh really? Is it that obvious? Well, I thought I’d hid it better than that. Well, what’s your point?”

 

Jen walks over to David. “Look, David. I know you’re angry over your loss on Crimson, but –“

 

“ANGRY? ANGRY!? Who’s angry, Jen? Hmm? Well, certainly not that ass clown John Duran, sitting at home with MY DAMN TV TITLE!”

 

“David, you can’t let one little loss get to you…”

 

“But it isn’t just ONE loss, Jen. It’s EVERY loss I’ve ever suffered. My debut match against Omega Storm, a guy who isn’t even there anymore. An exhibition against Geddion. And now John Duran, that pompous JACKASS who couldn’t wrestle a match to save his life! NO! Instead, people like me are forced to job to him so his stupid little title reign can continue.”

 

“Well, you beat Syndicate, didn’t you?”

 

David stops, then gets close to Jen’s face.

 

“No… no I didn’t. Do you know why? Because he felt so much pity for me that he THREW the match! I wasn’t even supposed to win THAT one!”

 

Jen steps back again.

 

“David… what’re you gonna do now? Don’t do anything that you’ll end up regretting… you don’t want to lose your job over something like this.”

 

David looks over at her.

 

“Damn, Jen. This isn’t about my job. This isn’t about the SJL. This isn’t about faces and heels. Hell, this isn’t even about the damn Television Title. This is about ME. This is about my PRIDE! MY FUTURE! MY REVENGE!”

 

David opens a trunk near the foot of his bed and pulls out a sledgehammer. He gently leans down and kisses the steel face of the hammer, then closes the trunk and heads for the door.

 

“David! Where are you going?!”

 

“Jen, I’m heading for the First Union Center in Philly! Don’t wait up!”

 

David jumps into his car, sledgehammer in hand, and drives off into the sunset, talking to himself as he drives.

 

“So, Duran thinks he can play me? I’m THROUGH being a nice guy. At “Bringin’ The Funk”, the SJL is going to see a side of me unleashed that they’re NEVER, EVER going to forget. Duran… get ready. At the Pay-Per-View, more is gonna be brought that just “The Funk”… Duran! I’m gonna CRIPPLE YOUR ASS! And the same goes for anybody who gets in my way. Stand back, SJL… the Full Effect is gonna RUN WILD ON YOU!”

[Guest Evolution]

Oh, this calls for a counter promo.

 

Good promo, nice to build up heat.

 

I've been planning out a promo for this PPV for some time, expect it to hit on Sunday or Monday.

 

By the way, it's good to see that you've got some motivation to win now.

[Guest Crowe]

I quite liked this. Its aim was to build up some heat for the four way and it reached this goal very successfully. Plus, it develops Blazenwing's character and shows that he's just a little bit "psycho" at times of frustration - something I think is cool. Good luck on the four way, man.

[Guest realitycheck]

Not bad, not bad. As Crowe said, it accomplishes what you wanted it to. Nothing beats a bit of character advancement, a bit of hard-sell.

 

My pick? I think the dialouge came off a bit awkward in places (The part where David is yelling at Jen is a good example), and it could probably use some polish all-around. Have a looksee at some recent WF promos, and see what you can't pick up for the future.
