HD: A Rodez Family Promo

Recommended Posts

[b]*GOOOOONG!*[/b]

COACH
Uh-Oh!

"YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"


[i]"GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!"[/i]

As Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie" hits in the arena, Leon Rodez makes his way through the sliding doors of sliding doom. The usual jig and smile aren't present however, as Rodez limps gingerly down the aisle favouring his back as result of the Ultimate X Match at License 2 Pin. Jovial or not, the fans cheer him anyway, as he makes his way up the ring steps, entering the ring and calling for a microphone. Michael Buffer obliges, to a smile and a wink from The New-Age Love Machine.

RODEZ
Whassup?

COACH
YO~1

RODEZ
Alright, as you can probably tell, I'm not out here to wrestle tonight. After License 2 Pin, I'm still pretty beat up. Still...at least it isn't last year. See, last year at License 2 Pin...well, the show kinda sucked for the mostpart. Ironically enough though, it was from License 2 Pin 2004 onwards that my career changed. I went from getting destroyed by Drek Stone in that stupid Deathmatch Tournament...to becoming what you see before you today. One of the most entertaining superstar on the OAOAST roster today, even if I do say so myself.

"YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!"

RODEZ
From License 2 Pin 2004 onwards, I stepped up my game. It started with Angleslam, taking on Drek Stone. Dirty Deeds, I was in the Gauntlet Match. Then, World Without End, I won the X-Division Title from The Blurricane. Climax, it was The Mad Cappa. At Anglepalooza, I was involved in a fourway match with Panther, Chris Bryte and Zack Malibu. Chris Stevens at Zero Hour. Another fourway at Anglemania IV. On I rolled to Living Anglelously, Last Man Dancing with The 70s Dude. And then, Ultimate X on Sunday night at License 2 Pin. And in that space on one year, those matches on Pay Per View, they all had ONE thing in common...

Rodez smiles.

RODEZ
They all...stole...the show!

"YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

COLE
He does have a point. You're always guaranteed a great match with Leon Rodez.

CABOOSE
Matter of opinion.

RODEZ
See, I've been earning some plaudits from different people here and there for putting on good matches on Pay Per View, great matches on Pay Per View and sometimes some pretty fantastic matches on Pay Per View. But, with all due respect...I'm not here for an ego boost. I'm not here to wave my *beep* around and say 'Hey, look how big my *beep* is!'. I did that in my old job, I don't need to do that anymore.

CABOOSE
Too much information.

RODEZ
I'd be lying if I came out here and said I'm happy with my performance at Ultimate X. People around the world, when License 2 Pin was over, were talking about that match more than any other. But am I happy about that? No. Because I'm out here and I'm beltless. And THAT'S what matters. I went out, gave 100% and of that I can be proud...but in the end, I could care less, because Peter Knight is the X-Division Champion and I'm not.

Head hanging, Rodez sighs.

RODEZ
So, to be honest, I don't really want to dwell on Ultimate X all that much. Yeah, it was a great match. Yeah, we did lots of cool flippy stuff and dropped each on our heads oh my godz~! But instead of dwelling in the past, I'd rather talk about the future. About next month. About who The Showstealer is going to have another Showstealing match with at Angleslam. Well, I'm not sure what our esteemed new General Manager has planned for moi, but I'm going to go over everyone's heads and I'm going to do something so unheard of, it boggles the mind. I am...*deep breathes*...okay, I can do this...it's okay, calm yourself Leon, be in the zone not around the zone...okay, here we go...I am...going to organise myself a match that the OAOAST might actually be able to advertise more than a week before a Pay Per View!!

"YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

RODEZ
Leon Rodez, in a Pay Per View match that hasn't been thrown together at the last minute!?! CRAZY TALK, I hear you cry! Well, it's true. Because I've got something in mind. What I have in mind...is to settle something that's needed settling for a while now. That being a match, one on one, at Angleslam, with Leon Rodez taking on...Christian Wright.

COLE
WOW! Now, there's a challenge!

COACH
You're not kidding! That's a huge challenge!

RODEZ
I've waited around for too long, let Christian Wright screw me around for too long. See, being the guy that I am, revenge and retribution seemed to slowly dissappear into the back of my mind in the days I was left on the shelf. After Living Anglelously, I was ready to tear Wright limb from limb. By the time I had come back, 'Nice Guy Rodez' mode had kicked in and when I finally had the chance to do some damage to Wright, I sprayed him with some silly string, threw a pie in his face and left it at that. Being the guy that I am, Christian Wright got away with what he did. But during the Ultimate X Match, something happened. Something woke me up. I finally got a taste of facing Christian Wright. And now, one 450 Splash doesn't seem enough. Now, I've finally woken myself up and I want to get my hands on Christian Wright finally. So, at Angleslam, I want Christian Wright one on one. No taglines, no add-ons, no gimmicks. Just me. And Wright. Man to man. To settle this once and for all.

Rodez pauses for a moment.

RODEZ
Sooner or later, the challenge is going to filter back to you and I'll be waiting for an answer. In the meantime, I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna party and I'm gonna get myself a little preparation. Because, once The New Age Love Machine gets going tonight, I can guarantee you, he's going to be Slamming the ladies...from all Angles!

Tossing the microphone away, Rodez smiles away as he begins to leave the ring, saluting the crowd and acknowledging the cheers around him.


(cut to backstage)

Watching on a backstage monitor, Jade Rodez swells with pride as she watches her brother leave the ring. Even going so far as to applaude him, smiling away as the picture on the screen continues to follow Leon up the ramp. Meanwhile, as Jade continues to watch on, two shadows appear behind her and the sound of snickering. Confused, Jade turns around wondering where the noise is coming from, finding herself face to face with Valerie and Constance, The Minnesota Angels.

CONSTANCE
Hey, look Val, it's Jade Rodez.

VALERIE
So it is. And judging from the clothes, being a whore must run in the family. Hey, if you're looking for customers, then there are plenty of street corners you could be hanging around on, instead of using a public place of work.

Jade growls at The Angels under her breath, trying to keep her temper.

JADE
Do you want something, besides a slap?

VALERIE 
(faking fear) OOOOOOHHH!

CONSTANCE
Pretty tough words, considering you can't back them up. Speaking of which, how's the training going?

VALERIE
I'd be surprised if she could even hit an armdrag yet, Connie. Then again, I'd be surprised if she could walk and chew gum at the same time. *laughs*

*high-five*

CONSTANCE
Good one Val.

JADE
Yeah, 'good-one Val'. For your information, I'm doing just just fine...I know the basics already. See, when Leon first got started, I took up some training and that was two years ago. So I'm well ahead of schedule. And as far as not being able to back up my words? I know your type. You're the 'popular kids'. You walk around, picking fun at people, laughing away in your little clique like you're something special. Listen girls...I dealt with mouthy little bitches like you in high school all the time. If you're not careful, I'll deal with you two.

The Angels look at each other in disbelief.

VALERIE
You're kidding me, right?

CONSTANCE
She's not serious.

VALERIE
She can't be.

CONSTANCE
You seriously think that you could 'deal' with us? Talk about delusional. Let me fill you on on something, missy. I've been in this business for a few years too. Only difference is, I didn't give up at the first sign of a discarded pizza box. Me and Val have worked too hard for too long to let some little jumped up whore walk into the OAOAST and get paid because her brother's famous. Face it, that's the only reason you're here. If not for that, you'd be at a checkout somewhere running our groceries through.

VALERIE
If you think we're scared of some trainee, just because he brother used to be something special, you can think again. We're the top female tag team in America. We're respected ATHLETES! We will NOT...be disrespected by some reject from a Michigan brothel!

The Angels look about ready to pounce on the outnumbered Jade, when suddenly, Leon Rodez walks over, standing beside her sister. Val and Constance recoil slightly, not looking quite so anxious to attack anymore.

LEON
Problem?

CONSTANCE
What a surprise. As soon as there's trouble, little Jadey hides behind her brother. Word of advice, Jade. If you ever graduate from the academy and some how get your wrestling license...learn to stand on your own two feet. Because you won't have 'Big Bro' to fight your battles for you.

JADE
I can fight my own battles just fine. Infact, if you two aren't busy next week, maybe I can fight them then. The Minnesota Angels versus me and a partner. How does that sound?

CONSTANCE
A FEMALE partner...you can't pick your brother. We're not going intergender...

Leon wipes his hand across his chin, looking The Angels up and down.

LEON
Pity.

Flustered, The Angels think about attacked again...but think better of it again.

VALERIE
Alright, bitch. We'll see you and whoever you can find in the ring next week!

CONSTANCE
You'd better hope you can find a good partner, because you're in WAY over your head. WAY over!

As The Minnesota Angels storm off, Jade watches on with a snarling look on her face. Beside her, Leon smiles, wrapping an arm around his little sister's shoulders.

LEON
First match, eh? Aw, my little sis is growing up.

JADE
*laughs* Shut up!

LEON
C'mon, I think we're done here tonight. Let's go grab a pizza or something, I'm starving.
