Joseph Peters picks up the phone. *Beep-boop-beep-boop-boop-boop-beep* As the other line rings, Joseph motions for his assistant to leave. He does, and shuts the door behind him. ... ... ... "Bruce? Hi. Joseph Peters here." ... "No, I'm not calling to fire you." ... "Actually, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Aidan Redmond is down with the flu, and for reasons beyond my understanding, parents seem to like Matt Myers, so we need to get him another opponent. I thought maybe you'd want to-" ... "Well, I thought, since it's the New Year, second chances and all-" ... "... alright, yes, you are the last person on my list. No one else is willing to cut their vacation short, especially not for a match with Myers." ... "I don't expect you to do it as a favor to me. I expect you to do it because I know you miss the money." ... "And, well... right now, the ratings are in freefall, which means the show is in danger. I need to bring back the edge without actually bringing back the edge, if you know what I mean. Bringing you back could... I can't believe I'm saying this... bringing you back could bump the ratings a bit." ... "Yes, Family Friendly Rules would still apply - nothing as ridiculous as 'no headlocks' or anything, but the basic rules-" ... "Yes, that includes no drinking." ... ... ... "You'll do it?" ... "And I can trust you to not make me regret this?" ... "I'm serious, Bruce - Do I have your word?" ... "Well, that depends on how well you behave. If you show me you can play by the rules, I might be able to get you back into regular Lockdown rotation. I may even be able to get a few of the more idiotic rules lifted, over time, if we can avoid another Bar Room Brawl scandal." ... "I know this isn't ideal, Bruce, but you'll be helping the show out and making some more cash. Just try to stomach it." ... "Ok. I'll see you at Lockdown. Thanks." *click* Edited January 4, 2006 by chirs3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toxxic 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Three things: First, I vote we bring in William Heartford III (inbetween doing Smark Enough) to be Peters' "deputy" and be the man who actually has knowledge of WRESTLING to counteract Peters' entertainment focus. Second, this sounds like it might be the end for Family Friendly Lockdown, which overall can probably only be a good thing. Thirdly... nice one Raynor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
