HD: PR/Popick Segment

Recommended Posts

Place this early on in the show, please...

 

The camera cuts to The Lightning Crew dressing room where Stephen Joseph Popick is staring at "The Corporate Champion" Tha Puerto Rican. The crowd boos, although there's a few cheers mixed in there. Both Popick and PRL are in their business attires, and both men look unhappy. Popick is sitting on a table, while PRL is sitting on the big leather sofa. He has his head down. Popick takes a deep breath. 

STEPHEN JOSEPH POPICK
Three years...three years. P.R., how long have we had this alliance? 

"THE CORPORATE CHAMPION" THA PUERTO RICAN
...Three...years. 

POPICK
Right. Right. And, uh, how many OAOAST World Heavyweight Title Matches have you had during that time? 

PRL
Uh...um...I don't know...five...six? 

POPICK
SEVEN, P.R. SEVEN World Title Matches! And tell me, Puerto, how many World Titles have you won in that timeframe? 

PRL
...Um...Zero. 

POPICK
THAT'S RIGHT ZERO! Since May 23, 2004, you have competed for the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title on SEVEN SEPERATE OCCASIONS, and you've LOST EACH AND EVERY TIME! EACH AND EVERY TIME! EACH. AND. EVE-RY. TIME. 

PRL
So? So, what's your point? 

POPICK
What's my point? What's my point!? God, P.R., I'VE got a World Title reign in that timeframe! Drek Stone defended the belt less than 5 times, and yet he's the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in OAOAST history! And despite facing Landon "La Cucarcaha" Maddix on two STRAIGHT pay-per-views, you STILL WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THE BELT OFF OF HIM! God, is it even worth it anymore!? Am I just wasting my time? Have I've just been wasting my time these past three years!? I mean, what's the point of even trying anymore!? You're just gonna choke the next time! 

PRL takes a deep breath. He is trying to calm himself down. 

PRL
I've screwed up in the past. I admit it. It won't happen again. At November Reign, I WILL win the World Title! 

POPICK
You damn well better! And you better thank your lucky stars that AngleSault gave you another Title shot, because since you used up your Golden Contract, and BLEW IT AGAIN MAY I REMIND YOU, I wouldn't be able to help you get another shot. AngleSault's back in this company, and he's not doing anyone any personal favours like some of the guys in the past. So, just be glad AngleSault still sees you as a World Title contender...because I'm starting to not think you are one.

At this, PRL turns his head to Popick. 

THA PUERTO RICAN
What did you say? 

POPICK
I said, I'm starting to doubt you're as great as you *think* you are! I picked you as MY CORPORATE Champion because I saw something special in you, P! I saw the future of the OAOAST in your eyes! I saw a chance to leave a legacy, leave my mark in the One And Only AngleSault Thread! I thought you'd be Champion by October 2004. It is now October 2007, and what do we have to show for it? 

PRL
A few different Title reigns.

POPICK
Yes, but none of them was the BIG ONE! Become X-Division Champion. Become a HI-YAH World Tag Team Champion. Carry around the Title you brought into the OAOAST again! Have the longest 24/7 Title reign in OAOAST history! Do all of that! But none of that matters unless your name is on the nameplate of the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title! I want to see your name near mine on the belt plates one day. But is that day ever gonna come? Or are we gonna be spending the next three years chasing a dream that's just out of reach? 

PRL
Stephen, I have failed you in the past. But I will not fail you no more. At November Reign, I WILL defeat Zack Malibu. I WILL defeat Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix. I WILL defeat "Urban Legend" Todd Cortez. And I WILL bring to you the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship belt. I promise you this. I will not fail you EVER AGAIN. 

POPICK
You better, P.R. You better. Because if you don't. If you fail again...if you CHOKE in your EIGHTH WORLD TITLE SHOT...then...then...then I guess my time trying to mold you into something special was all for naught. I guess it was all for nothing. And I don't want that. You doing bad makes ME look bad, and I DON'T WANT TO LOOK BAD! You win the World Title at November Reign...or consider our alliance...consider our partnership...consider our FRIENDSHIP OVER! 

Popick gets up, walks up to the door, opens the door and leaves, slamming the door shut. 

POPICK
THINK ABOUT WHAT I JUST SAID, PUERTO!

Popick walks away. PRL hangs his head down in shame. He puts his hands over his face. He takes a deep breath and sighs. The crowd boos loudly. This is our last image before we fade to black.
