HD: Black promo

[Mystery Eskimo 0]

I understand we now have a video handed to us at the start of the show. I'm not really sure what its about, but we're going to role it anyway! We're just THAT irresponsible!

 

We cut to a plain, white corridor. We hear people walking past, things being moved, shouted instructions. The man in the camera shot is "the Ice Heart" Dan Black. Black is unusually casual, wearing jeans and a Black T tee-shirt (simply black with a large white T displayed in the middle).

It's about five o'clock. The backstage crew are all here, working hard to set up for tonight's show. I like to be here early, too. There's always a buzz in the air. The knowledge that the empty stadium will soon fill with people who've come to see the OAOAST perform. The prospects of cheers, boos, victory, defeat, blood, sweat, tears, glory, betrayal - the greatest drama on the face of this earth. I've been here four long years. I've seen it all. There's been drama after drama. Countless personal conflicts. And yet the OAOAST stands still. It's spirit is in every employee, from the guys setting up the sound equipment to the World Champion himself.

 

This is the way I feel about this company. It's the way Tony Brannigan feels. And you know, despite all my misgivings, I even believe its the way Zack Malibu feels. These past months, certain people have been trying to tell us that we don't have the right to love the company. That we are, in fact, damaging the company by wanting to put on our best at the highest level. Two of these people are the GPX. I've gone back and forth with these guys all year round. Sometimes it was about who was the better team. Sometimes it got personal. Now it's going to become a war. No titles, no trophies. It's about survival.

 

At Angleslam, I wanted to take on GPX in a handicap match. I would have taken both those little arseholes and wiped the mat with them single handed. But Calvin Szechstein doesn't seem to have the same faith in me. I had to find a partner. Tony Brannigan and CWM have become distracted. I don't want to get involved in their issue, although I'm sure all you more intelligent viewers can decide whose back I have. Malibu again? (Dan chuckles softly) No, I don't think so. Never out of choice, believe me. So who?

 

Who could I bring to the GPX that would really bother them? Well, they seem to have this sudden stance against original members of the OAOAST. I happen to know one such person. I wrestled him in some of my first matches in the OAOAST. We were at odds back on IntenseZone. He's not been popular. I don't much like him, but the past can stay there. I know he respects the OAOAST. His name is Stephen Joseph. And as luck would have it, last week Stephen Joseph requested a match against GPX. Great minds think alike.

 

And a pretty unusual team, I think you'll agree. Dan Black and Stephen Joseph. GPX, when you make an enemy of one OAOAST Original, you make an enemy of them all. We'll see you at Angleslam, and we'll beat some company spirit into you.

 

Black signals, and the camera cuts.
