Promo: another road to glory starts here

[Guest]

(Camera fades in to a trophy case, with a good number of trophies gleaming in the afternoon sun blaring through open windows upon the clear glass.  The camera zooms out, and there stands Randy Turner, standing with his hands on his hips.  He's wearing a Texas Longhorns sweatshirt, and black sweatpants.  He continues to stare at his trophy case.  He then turns towards the camera.)

 

Turner: Do you like them? ...They're my pride and joy.  They keep me going.

 

(Turner pauses for a bit, and then continues.)

 

Turner: I got these in high school.  Texas High School Wrestler of the Year, 3 years in a row.  I was almost worshipped.  Big crowds would come to the gymnasiums, as I busted my ass in the ring.  I never liked to lose.  When I lost, I strived myself to get better.  I wanted to become unstoppable.  When I got a scholarship into Texas University, I knew that my time had come.  This could lead to bigger and better things, like an Olympic gold medal.  I could become a larger than life superstar.

 

(Turner pauses again, and continues like he never left off.)

 

Turner:  These here are from Texas University.  National Wrestling Champions, 3 years in a row, once again.  I strived on perfection, and I lived for it.  For 4 years, I was a phenom.  Though I finished my college career undefeated, I felt that I had failed.  I had pushed myself to the edge, and it still wasn't good enough.  IT JUST.  WASN'T. GOOD ENOUGH.  So, I kept pushing myself.  I strived for greatness.  When I graduated from Texas University in 1996, I soon became aware soon after of the Summer Olympics to take place in Sydney.  So, I busted my ass.  AGAIN.  I took it to new heights, because I knew if I didn't, then I would be nothing.  I would just be some washed up college star that couldn't cut it with the big boys.

 

(Turner pauses and walks over to an empty part of his trophy case.)

 

Turner: This is where my gold medal was supposed to be.  Right here.  I told my parents, my family, and my friends, that I would make them proud, and go to Sydney, and bring home a gold medal for the USA.  I was impressive.  By my final match, I was a lock for the team.  And then, I threw it all away.  One minute, I'm dominating my opponent, and the next; I feel pain in my right leg.  I wanted the feeling.  I wanted to stand on the podium, and listen with my hand on my heart as the national anthem of the country I was proud of played, and friends, family, and fans cheered me on all over the world.

 

But it was ALL GONE.  Just like that.  While I was in the hospital, I became more and more angry as days went by.  The doctor told me I'd never be the same wrestler again.  I didn't want to hear it.  I wanted to know that I could come back to wrestling, and be the same dominant monster that I was in my high school and college careers.  However, I knew then that I didn't want the Olympics.  I wanted the WWF.  After my extensive rehab, I tried out successfully for the OVW, and was offered a developmental contract.  I would come back to my home after some training, and I would see this empty part of my trophy case.

 

(Pause)

 

I would say to myself...that I was going to fill this up, with all the gold belts I could get my hands on.  Then, as soon as I felt I was climbing to the top again, everything fell on me again.  Backstage, wrestlers, for some reason, didn't like me.  They didn't want to work for me, and they wanted me out.  Since these guys were big wrestlers, and had stroke...I was later released.  There's no way I could say that was the worst day of my life, because I've had too many of those in my life.

 

...

 

So, I came to the SJL.  I came to get some gold for this trophy case.  And even if I have to wait until I'm 70 to get a World Title shot, then so be it.  If I leave this world, and people don't look back to me and say that that man was the greatest wrestler they had ever seen...I might as well just rot in the ground and let the worms eat at my eyes.

 

So, you see, my road to glory begins again, right here, right now.  Frost and Z are in my way to the road to glory, and Hardcore Submission or not, I refuse to let them stop me like everyone has tried to do so many times before.

 

I'm not going to let myself be let down again.  Not this time.

Ohh. Nice reply from Evo. I love these promo feuds!

 

JL ROCKS! JL ROCKS!!

 

Meh at the WWF refrences.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

You know, the IGN boards going Insider are the best thing that's happened to the JL in ages.

 

We come here to theSmarks, and suddenly we get a pile of good new writers.  Hell yeah!  Turner, I like your straight-ahead character...it reminds me of a WF legend named Bobby Riley, albeit significantly less fruity.  Heh heh.  Oh Bobbi, where have you gone...

 

...but a promising beginning.  Looking forward to see what you three can cook up for Metal...

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Great promo, I loved how it played off of mine to show Frost that Turner does have heart and determination without saying it straight out. I'm looking forward to the match, no matter who wins.

[Guest Shawn]

Ya know, I still am kinda down about the IGN thing. It happen what, a week after I joined? Ever since I joined I was checking out old WF/JL/ML stuff but it was all IGNsider before I could really get started and now a lot of the jokes and stuff are a little over my head.

[Guest]

Nice promo Randy, and good luck on Metal, on Wedensday night. I got my promo in, and hopefully everyone else got their matches and promos in. *Wink* But this is to all the new guys, you don't need to put parenthaces in any promos or matches, it just makes it look stupit really. IGN still sucks!!

[Guest Shawn]

Oh no...

 

Parenthesis don't make promos look stupid. Big red/purpe letters do make posts look stupid though... and a big harder to ignore.

 

Someone please make Cutthroat stop the madness before it starts.

 

Psst... make your text color white so it's um... easier to see. Yeah...

 

Ugh.

[Guest Renegade]

Psst... make your text color white so it's um... easier to see. Yeah...

 

lol

 

anyways, nice promo dude

[Guest Insanityman]

Dude, that was nice, I really like just the way your chacter's done to life, still dreaming but more or less like an average guy. Keep it coming.

[Guest ErekT2k]

Cutthroat, that's just not right. Putting Parenthesis is a way of Turner's style and I encourage it. It doesn't matter how they write but what they write.

 

So you gonna make fun of me because I use parentehsis and quotations too?
