Hoff 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) [b][color=silver]*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!*[/color] [i]"YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!![/i][/b] "Black" hits the arena loudspeakers and Hoff steps onto the stage! Wearing his signature "H" t-shirt and jeans, the big man throws a fist into the air, then heads down the aisle with a serious expression, not stopping to slap any hands or point out any cool signs. COLE And I hate to be cliche....but LISTEN TO THIS OVATION!! The Michigan faithful are on their feet, cheering for the superstar powerhouse as he slides into the ring under the bottom rope. The "HOFF" chant is already in full effect as he pops to his feet, climbing the near corner ropes and throwing his arm high into the air, letting out a roar as flashbulbs spark across the arena. Hoff steps off the ropes, and the fans quiet down as he takes a house mic. HOFF Welcome. "TO THE FUTURE!!!" the fans scream in unison, before giving Hoff a renewed cheer. CABOOSE I'm so glad he's out of the booth. COACH I knew you missed me! CABOOSE Yeah, right. Hoff's expression remains stern as he raises the mic. HOFF So last week, as we eminated LIVE from my hometown, I got to take a good look at the action. The rest of this company was on display, and I had front-row seats. And you know what? I was damn impressed. The crowd lets out a cheer for all of its OAOAST superstars, appreciating their talents. HOFF Oh, yeah. I saw two guys kill each other, brawling across the entire damn mall. I saw two men I hate take the fight to a couple of young kids, and I saw the kids rise to the occassion. COLE Hoff obviously talking about the Skater Boiz... HOFF I saw a man that I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for drop Drek Stone on his ass and pin him to the mat, one-two-three, and I smiled, and I cheered just as loud as anybody. "LE-ON! LE-ON! LE-ON! LE-ON!" HOFF I saw a company that I am proud to be a part of, and a group of men -- and women -- that I will be honored to represent. CABOOSE Aww, please. Cut this out. The fans rise, giving Hoff, and moreover, the entire roster, a standing ovation. HOFF Absolutely, guys. Give them a hand, they deserve it. "O-A-O-A-S-T! *clap* *clap*" "O-A-O-A-S-T! *clap* *clap*" "O-A-O-A-S-T! *clap* *clap*" "O-A-O-A-S-T! *clap* *clap*" COLE This is a hell of a moment, guys. COACH Holla, playa. Hoff nods, smiling, before he continues. HOFF But that's why I'm out here. You see, last week, as I was watching from ringside, there was one guy I didn't see. The guy who's supposed to be the embodiment of this company. The World Heavyweight Champion. AXEL. Axel's name draws a good-sized cheer from the crowd. COACH Hey, that's right, Axel wasn't at the show last week! CABOOSE Was he with you getting your nails done? COACH No! And--HEY!! HOFF Oh yeah, Axel. See, I was waiting for you all night. Waiting to see you in the ring. I wanted to get one more up close and personal look at the man I'd be facing August 28th at Angleslam. But, Axel was nowhere to be found. COLE Hoff sounds like he's taking this a little personally! CABOOSE He probably missed having a lame friend to pal around with the next day. He needed a shopping buddy! HAW! HOFF Now Axel...as far as I'm concerned, you've been a great champion. You've taken on all comers, and even though you hit some problems, you rose up and overcame each and every one, and you earned my respect, pal. You can believe that. But Axel, the fact is, you're not the man anymore. Your torch is about to be passed, whether you like it or not. And my torch is about to be lit. You're looking at the new standard bearer in the OAOAST. "YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" HOFF But it's like a true legend once said: to be the man.....you gotta beat the man. "WOOOOOOOOOO!" HOFF So it goes like this. If Axel's not going to be around to be your champion, then I will. And I may not have a shiny gold belt, but I've got a ticket to the biggest dance of all time. The dream shot...the thing I've been bustng my ass to get. My shot. My pass to Angleslam. My #1 contendership. COLE Is Hoff saying what I think he is? HOFF And startng TONIGHT, in this very ring, I will defend that title shot against any and all comers. I will take my right to face the World Champion and lay it on the line, against anyone who thinks they have what it takes, because after all I've gone through to get this shot....the blood, the sweat, and the tears...I know that there is no one, no one, that can take it from me. COLE He is! Hoff's gonna defend the #1 contendership, just like it was the World Title! The fans roar in approval...when suddenly, the lights go down!! COLE What the hell! A familiar bat hits the arena... [i]dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun AWW, AWW, AWWWWW!![/i] "SEXY BOY" hits and the fans mark out for the arrival of SOME GUY!! COLE WHOA!! Some Guy smiles at Hoff from the top of the ramp before walking down the aisle. In good spirits, the veteran fan-favorite takes off his Red Sox cap and tosses it into the crowd before hitting the ring, stepping through the ropes and spinning around as Hoff watches on with more than a mild curiosity. Some Guy comes out of his spin, doing the stretch and posing with his fist in the air. COLE Is Some Guy out here to take Hoff up on his offer? CABOOSE I doubt they're going to sit down and have a roundtable discussion, Michael. Some Guy steps forward and looks at Hoff as the lights go up. The crowd is buzzing as Hoff takes a step forward as well, raising his jaw and looking down at Some Guy. COLE These two teamed up a few weeks ago to take on Drek Stone and the GPX, but I don't think I've ever seen them face to face before. CABOOSE Well, cherish these moments, Cole. The two men stare each other down, both trying to get a read on the other. After a few intense moments, SG holds out his hand, and Hoff hands him the microphone. With a slight smile, Some Guy holds it to his lips... SOME GUY So it looks like the Hoff-stepper is steppin' up. The fans cheer as Hoff, arms folded across his chest, nods. SG nods back, still smiling. SOME GUY Well I gotta respect that. But Hoff, if you're looking for an opponent, look no further. Hoff strokes his goatee, raising his eyebrows as the fans cheer. CABOOSE WHAT?! This clown didn't even win last week! COLE He may not have beat Alfdogg, but he put on one hell of a show! SOME GUY Y'see, Hoff...while I respect you, and while I trust that you're not in cahoots with the big bad Stone, it seems to me that you're awfully young. Not that that's a bad thing-- the S-G isn't an old man himself-- but the fact is, you've climbed that mountain pretty high, pretty fast. Hoff shrugs, looking a little put-off by the remark. SOME GUY Now don't get me wrong, big man-- you've earned it. And you might be the hottest new star to come into this company in a long, long time. But as much as you deserve it, I think that I just might deserve it as well. You see, even before you got here, I've been breaking my neck and busting my ass for this company. I've been in match after match, and I've been in the ring with all of 'em. Anglesault...CWM...Zack Malibu. Even you Caboose. SG points at Caboose, drawing a cheer from the fans. CABOOSE Ah, bugger off, ya wanker. SOME GUY And through it all, in my career, I can count the title shots I've had on one hand. See, why Zack Malibu was the franchise and the savior, Some Guy was a supporting player. But I'm back, baby, and I think these fans agree that there ain't many cats like me out there. "YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" SOME GUY So whaddya say, big man? How about you and me lock up and I get my shot at the big dance? Hoff and Some Guy, in this ring, TO-NIGHT?! The fans let out a MASSIVE cheer! Hoff smiles, chuckling to himself, before he takes the mic back... HOFF You know, if you wanted a match, you could have just ASKED... COLE IS HE SAYING WHAT I THINK HE IS? CABOOSE God, SHUT UP!! Hoff nods with approval. HOFF Well you want it, Some Guy, then you got it! You get your shot at MY shot, right here, tonight! But Some Guy, remember one thing. When it's all over, and the dust has settled, and the smoke has cleared. You will know....that the future "FUTURE!!".....has "HAS!!" ................"ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" HOFF Arrived. "Black" hits to a monstrous pop, and Some Guy spares one last glance at the #1 contender before stepping through the ropes and hopping onto the floor. Hoff looks down at him before turning to the fans, climbing the near corner and throwing his fist into the air. COLE Well WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! Tonight, in this very ring, it's going to be Hoff, one-on-one, against SOME GUY for the number one contendership and a title shot at Angleslam! CABOOSE I hope, for his sake, Hoff knows what he's doing. COACH It's gonna be a hot one, playas! Edited July 21, 2005 by Hoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
