Promo: just think about it...

[Guest Ace309]

Lately, I've been skeptical... silent, when I would used to speak...

Distant from all around me who witnessed me fail, and become weak...

 

Tom Flesher sits in the locker room, his head in his hands, completely motionless. We can see him breathing heavily, still sweating, still stinging from the match earlier tonight.

 

Life is overwhelming, heavy is the head that wears the crown...

I love to be the one to disappoint you when I don't fall down...

 

He wanted to disappoint them tonight. He wanted X Force 9 to feel foolish. He wanted them to feel like they had put their whole lives into something, worked hard their entire careers, all leading up to this moment... and he wanted to dash their dreams to the ground.

 

But you don't understand what I'm attempting to explain...

Because you know it all and I guess things will never change...

 

And who came out on the short end tonight? The camera swings around, and we see Flesher sitting, his eyes wide open. It looks like he's been up for six days straight, subsisting on a diet of nothing but whiskey. His bloodshot eyes belie the fact that it's barely been an hour since The Match. The pulsing veins in his forehead lie for him, telling us he's been awake all night watching match films, when in fact he's just been replaying the match in his head.

 

"How did he do it?" he mutters to himself. "How the hell did he do it?"

 

Your disposition I'll remember when I'm letting go...

 

Flesher sits, still stunned and shocked by the loss. He can't bring himself to reach down to his waist, to feel nothing around it but the waistband of his jeans. He can't bring himself to look down, only to see no shining gold in his lap.

 

We're through...

 

He knows what he has to do.

 

Thank god it's over...

 

But it's not over.

 

Just think about it... you'll get it.

[Guest Beingz0wningj00]

I don't read anything from people who lost their titles to Ash... ah shit... I just did...

 

 

Fuck

 

 

Short... but good for what's there... You best piledrive some jobber through a table though.

[Guest Ace309]

You know, I'm just SO glad I bothered to write a promo setting up a major point of character evolution.

 

Because people read the important stuff, of course, and not the silly pranky stuff.

[Guest redbaron51]

Excellent promo my friend, excellent promo

[Guest Renegade]

i guess we know who's wearing the trousers in this fued

 

nice work

[Guest Insane Clown Dan]

I gotta echo that, man. Well-written.

 

All the attention that Ash's promo got was negative. Look at it that way. Though... more people would've responded if you started beating up lepers with canes and thrown pennies at people from a tower, in a city parade

[Guest]

I was just being lazy...

 

Good serious promo. It goes well with the new character change. This should end up as a great re-match.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Well, you lose points for using Limp Bizkit as a frame, but otherwise, perfect work.  Concise, clear, and bold.

 

I would not want to be in Ash's shoes come Crimson, or the rematch.  Yikes.

[Guest]

I don't reply to promos half the time but yes I read it.  It's good.  I thought you knew...

 

Simple rule: Tom writes it, it's good.

[Guest]

Tom, if you want...you can piledrive me through a table, since I haven't been on a show the last two shows...
