PROMO: "The Itch"

[Chuck Woolery 0]

It's amazing how you can appear on television a couple times a week, yet be completely incognito.

 

Yet somehow, Joseph Peters finds himself in this exact position. He's just now on his way out of Cambodia, after a couple of very important meetings with the local government, and he's dressed dapper as ever, trying to catch some sleep in his comfortable and classy first class seat.

 

But, come on. Do you think the suddenly very frugal SWF would waste tape if nothing was going to happen?

 

"How you doin', buddy?"

 

The gentle shake of Peters' shoulder poorly masks the icy sarcasm of the sentence, and his eyes flutter open to see a disgustingly chipper Mike Van Siclen standing above him. Peters stretches out, then pats the seat next to him, still hung over from his sleep.

 

"Why are we flying you around the world, again?"

 

Van Siclen smirks. "I think you're very, very aware of why you're flying me around the world, Mr. Peters."

 

Peters returns the smirk. "You're going to have to refresh my memory."

 

Van Siclen's smirk suddenly disappears. "Forgive me, Joseph, but I wasn't really trying to be friendly. That was actually just a ruse, designed to mask the fact that not only do I hate you, but I hate the Smarks Wrestling Federation, Frost Brand tacos, and pretty much the entire wrestling business."

 

Peters' smirk disappears now, also, and his face hardens. "Then why come back and waste my time?"

 

And now Van Siclen's smirk returns in the form of a full-blown smile. "Because I own you, boss."

 

Peters' calm exterior is beginning to crack. "You most certainly do not own me, Mr. Van Siclen," the President says in flustered tones.

 

Van Siclen reaches into his back pocket, pulling out a carefully folded piece of paper and pressing it into Peters' chest. "Oh, but I do."

 

Peters unfolds the piece of paper, reading the first couple of lines before looking up at Van Siclen. "I could very easily sue you for extortion, Mr. Van Siclen."

 

"You could, but you would lose."

 

"This is blackmail."

 

"This is not blackmail. It's not like I'm threatening to tell the whole world... we just play this game my way, your little company gets to keep its money, and I get what I want."

 

"That's blackmail."

 

Van Siclen's smile is as big as ever. "So sue me."

 

"I have half a mind..."

 

"And I will keep your ass in court for years. I will bleed this company dry. I will bleed you dry, and all of that money you've made from all your little side projects will be gone. I will not only bleed you dry, but I'll bleed Frost Brand dry too, and I'm sure that he'll be thrilled that your cheap ass made him broke. Have you ever been in a fight with Frost, Joseph? It's not a fun time."

 

Peters is a defeated man. "So what do you want me to do?"

 

"I think you know the answer to that, Joseph. You do your thing on Wednesday, and we'll just pretend that this," Van Siclen gestures to the piece of paper, "that this nasty affair never, ever happened. Are we clear?"

 

"Crystal," Peters replies, practically spitting the words at Van Siclen, who gets up to leave. As he walks away, Peters can't resist a jab.

 

"What, your broke ass can't afford first class?"

 

Van Siclen turns around. "You're right. You'd better make sure you never make that mistake again, either."

 

Laughing, Van Siclen turns heel and exits, leaving a very, very upset Joseph Peters to try and have a good flight's sleep...

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

You know, if there is anything that could ever possibly make WC turn heel, it's the return of a face Mike Van Siclen...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DISCLAIMER: WC is not really going to turn heel.

[Chuck Woolery 0]

Hugs and handpounds to you too, WC.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

On another note, I didn't really read the last couple of shows in depth, so I'm quite curious as to see where this is headed.

[Toxxic 0]

MVS isn't looking very face to me. He's looking really quite heel, in fact.

 

And not just because he ran in and attacked Toxxic and Amy with a steel chair (for WC's benefit).

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

I didn't mean to suggest that I thought that MVS was trying to get over as a face here... I was more trying to point out that WC still has deep animosity towards VS and that, while WC is a career face, the idea of VS being on 'the side of the angels' would be the one thing that might make him turn to the Dark Side.

Wow... you're pretty much running my angle, but only in reverse. Good job.

[Sly 0]

You suck, by the way.
