Crowe 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 "She." --- “Don’t you fucking look at me like that.” A voice is heard over the black screen before it fades into a setting. It’s a familiar voice and face doing the scolding... it’s the Antichrist Superstar, Crow. He’s anxiously waiting for something, but what that something is... has not been revealed. What has been revealed however, is the person he was scolding. It’s Jessica. They’re both sitting in their home in Anchorage. As always, darkness would be overwhelming the house hold if they didn’t have the candelabrums burning. “Why is it with these candles anyway? This guy too GOFF for lights?” Heh... indeed. Wait, what!? Who the hell are you!? ”I’m Jessica.” Jessica? What the fuck!? You’re not supposed to be hearing this! I’m the omnipresent narrator! ”Rules change, bucko.” Bucko!? ...huh! ”Are you offended?” No. Well stop whining then, you big goof. Zuh? I’m not whining! I’m just trying to narrate a promo here! “You’re not needed, so why are you here?” I don’t deserve this, I have writes you know! You spelt that wrong. Bah! HSR! Stop hassling me! Get out of here then. This is my story to tell. Not yours. Fine. ... ”Much better. Hehe, since I threw the narrator out, just know that I’m smiling at you all right now. But, just so you know, I’m not here to provide you with intimate description about the smallest little details... I’m here to give you some insight into Markus... ...currently, my baby is not having a fun time at work. If you can call it that.” You can’t say that. “Quiet you. This is my time, these are my thoughts and not even Markus can change what I think of his chosen field of work. It’s a vile thing. Good, respectable men fight each other for the amusement of millions of people watching... they bleed for the amusement of millions of people watching... and we call our people civilised? It’s disgusting... ...oh, did I forget to mention that they also suffer severe injuries that cause them strenuous amounts of pain? While he may not show it, Markus is in great pain every time he steps into the ring. He’s also in great pain whenever he is out of the ring. And not just for injury reasons... ...do you remember Adam?” No. “You don’t? And you were the one who narrated it...” Sorry, I smoke way too many bongs for my own good. “...will you just stop talking? A girl doesn’t like to be interrupted.” ... “That’s better. *coughs* Oh, I’m sorry about that. Back to what I was saying before I was cut off... Adam was Markus’ best friend. They first met at a wrestling school back in Adelaide when Mark was only sixteen years of age. They did everything together... wrestling, ‘makking’ as Markus calls it, training, socialising, you name it, they did it together. Mark and Adam, along with Dante, opened up the short-lived ICW federation that you hear occasional talk about. Unfortunately, the closeness of their friendship brought the downfall of the federation... as Markus’ demons took over him... and this affected Adam. They both struggled with heroin addiction and in the end, it was too much for Adam... and his life was ended... ...this had a terrible effect on Mark. The federation crumbled because of his demons... and the friends he once had turned into sworn enemies. The friendship between Dante and Mark was resurrected, but the same can’t be said for the one between Austin Sly and Mark. Markus doesn’t even know that Austin’s in the locker room... ...hatred and agony is something Markus has to deal with every single day of his life. He knows what he did and knows it is his fault. But, he hasn’t experienced the hate and pain that is soon to come. You see, boys and girls, this lass organised something behind Mark’s back... so that he could confront his demons. This is why he’s anxious... ...and even more anxious now as the phone rings. He picks it up.” “Uh... hello?” ”It’s Adam’s mother... ...sometimes, Markus needs a little push to help him through a rough patch. It’s just how he is... hmm, and while it has been nice chatting to you all... I must go support my man. Ciao.” ... Oh, by the way, I’m smiling again!” --- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suicide King Report post Posted April 29, 2004 A good promo for what it was. Although in general I don't like purely internal promos, because there's no way they could exist on televised wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2004 Hey now, if we can get away with doing half the shit we have done in this fed, then I'm sure we could figure a way to televise this. At any rate, good promo, crowe, I liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2004 Actually, you COULD do this on a show, just have a pictorial of what's happening and stuff and technically it should work. Of course, you'd have to admit you weren't taking yourself seriously, and anyone in Pro. Wrestling does so... *shrugs* Meh. Anyways, funs all around Crowe. Nice stuff.

the.weej 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 I should've commented on this a day or two ago, but the SWF hasn't been on my mind that much recently. "Z Does Other Things," that's two drinks, gentlemen. Anyway, I really liked this concept as well. It's a very clever way of giving Jessica some sorely, sorely needed character depth, something I've been bugging you to do since the JL, since you've insisted on her playing a moderate-to-large part in Crowe's active storylines and overall character. Hats off. -Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ill One 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Very nice work Crowe. Character depth is always a good thing, oh, and the narrator/Jessica exchanges were the best. You do smoke too many bongs for your own good. But if that's what makes you write witty promos like these- toke up my friend, toke up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
