Duke Drazin: Entertaining, creative, unique, hilarious...these are all words used to describe the typical Duke Drazin promo and this one is no different. I really enjoyed the creativity of this RP, it was defiantly set in an unusual situation, using Gabby's worshippers to protect her and dump him in a sewer. I can defiantly say that a sewer is the last place I expected this promo to take place and you used the rancid surroundings to your advantage making for a very enjoyable read. The gas leak was a brilliant way of bringing so many different factors into play with Duke then hallucinating the voices of various opponents and countering them. Best of luck buddy, it should be a close one!

I love it when people prove me right.

Huh?

[DramaShark]

Chris Kennedy's promo is posted. I feel good about it.

[Jake Poueff]

Huh?

Kayfabe stuff. On my promo,I,between tons of other stuff,basicly gave a "blueprint" on WWS's promo (blaming it on him being generic). Some minutes later he posts his promo,and talks about everything I mentioned.

Well every new heel does what you said so it would be obvious

That's the problem. Everyone does the same. Hell,my character can be seen as heel,if I turn the volume even higher (since it's basicly me with the volume turned up) but would never do the same generic deal over and over again. That's ridiculous

Everyone in the IWC whines about every heel in WWE and TNA (and even some in ROH and the indies) being the same generic clones and then when you create your character you... do the same?

[Death Approaches]

I don't sooo yeah... lol. But I agree, that's a huge problem normally. In FWA though, there are many unique gimmicks.

[Wolf]

Is this it? Da deadline? CC is pretty weak compared to last year

[Death Approaches]

^^My exact thoughts Wolf, but I must say there are REALLY strong promos out there. I won't enter into details now Wolf, but WOW I loved your promo, its damn great seeing you back with him.

Jake, I read both promos and it's obvious William Stevenson didn't copy you. He posted a loooooong multi-paragraph promo 10 minutes after you, there is absolutely no way he could have read your promo and then written that giant of a promo in a span of 10 minutes. It's just not possible, especially given the caliber of his promo.

And whether he copied your promo or not you wouldn't have won with what you submitted. For starters, you began your promo OOC, which wouldn't have been a big deal had you included an OOC tag in front of it. I mean, it's essentially the equivalent of Randy Orton cutting a promo, addressing the fans and telling them he lost the script and is going to make the promo up as he goes along and then decides to improve random dribble. That's what you did. I don't mean to be harsh, but the fact is he wrote the better promo. Nothing against you, but trash talking your opponents users out of character because you couldn't cut the mustard is highly unprofessional.

Again, don't mean to be harsh, especially since I see a ton of potential in you and totaly expected you to win this one. Good luck next time.

I didn't said he copied me,but that I throwed some jabs about what he was going to say and some of them were right.

My character is myself (out of murdering my dad with a lead pipe and growing up in a foster home = past),so OOC or not,it really doesn't matter since it's the same deal.

What I had written before and had to show was a scene in a kitchen with my kayfabe bf,so basicly it's the same as saying I lost the video tape that had it. The promo went the same way,I make my promos as they go anyways,so this isn't and wouldn't be any different.
