Kaertos 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Promo - "Grand Slam" Mark Stevens GSMS: So Doc, what's the word? The Heavy Hitter sits on the edge of an examination table. He is wearing a classic "Midnight Carnival" shirt and a pair of jean shorts that reveal his swollen and bruised left knee. An older man in a white coat is just sitting down on a stool in front of him. He has a folder in his hand and is reading something through a small pair of reading glasses perched on his nose. Doc: Well Mark, it looks like you have a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in your left knee. GSMS: Damn. What am I looking at? Am I going under the knife? Doc: I don't think it's needed at this time. (He starts to scribble on a pad) I'm going to give you some Naproxen to help with the swelling. Take some Advil as needed to handle the pain. I'll get you a sheet of knee exercises to help with it. Your knee brace is going to be an all-the-time-thing now. But with you this is a chronic condition, so we need to take it slow. We need to rest this knee for at least three weeks, possibly longer. GSMS: That's a problem Doc. I have a match on the 28th. Doc: Not anymore you don't. GSMS: Well, you said it wasn't that serious, I'll just... Doc: Mark, you're going to be able to walk for the next three or four weeks with the assistance of a cane. You might be able to run, but as your doctor I'm advising against it. Anything more strenuous than that and you are risking a full tear, and that can only be fixed by surgery and a four to six month recovery. I can't in good conscience, medically clear you to wrestle in a week and a half. GSMS: Crap... well, it looks like the whole thing is going down the tubes anyway with the way my "partner" is acting. I guess this puts the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Doc: I'm sorry Mark. GSMS: Yeah Doc, me too. Doc (standing up): Wait here and I'll get your paperwork. GSMS: Thanks. The doctor leaves and Mark sits sullenly for a second. Then picking up a small glass container of tongue depressors, he angrily throws them across the room and smashes it against the wall! GSMS: Damn Bastion... it's always something to keep me from taking care of King. It's always something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Goodear Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Sort of information that we already had and all... I think there needs to be 50% more rage though. It's like, "Oh drat, Bastion hurt my knee." Where I'm feeling more of a "I'LL KILL THAT BASTARD... AND THAT OTHER BASTARD! GRAHHHH!" would be more appropriate. Maybe I'm misreading the Grand Slam character but he seems a bit too mellow here. Stevens really needs a more decisive victory somewhere along this feud ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaertos 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 I wanted to be clear on the extent of the injury, i.e. what I can and cannot do, as it might become important later. Besides, I thought that bit of exposition might bog down an actual show, so it would be best as a board promo, albeit a short one by my standards. As I write the character, he knows there is a time and a place to be angry. And it isn't in the doctor's office. I actually debated throwing the glass jar as being a little out of character. Grand Slam is very mellow out of the ring, but intense inside. I guess the best way to look at it is that he has a real passion for the business and knows how to control his emotions. Thanks for the comments... keep 'em coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
