FWA 6th Anniversary Show Promo Thread

[iMatt]

Inside arena...

Thomas Princeton enters with his Yes Men and walks out to the center of the ring, he is a given a microphone and begins to speak.

Tom: I'm going to make this real short because Cameron Cross is already wasting enough of my time. This match at the anniversary show of the FWA will be one that everyone forgets, because it will be the unmemorable. Not because the match will move slow, or because things won't be to the crowd's liking, no it will be because nobody will care. It will be to them just a blur another showcase of my dominance, it will be meshed together with all my other victories and Cross will be forgotten as nothing more but the equivalent of a hairstyle fad. I will wipe him off the lips of relevance because my name is Thomas Princeton and I'm better than you!

Tom drops the mic and exits out of the ring with the Yes Men flanking behind him.

OOC: Fell asleep reading book, woke up only had 10 minutes to write promo my bad.

Backstage....

Jolson is walking backstage when he is stopped by Amy Duke.

Amy: What do you plan to do tonight against Mountain Rush?

Drew: Get my show back.

The crowd cheers as Drew pushes past Amy and marches off.

Alexx VS Stu St. Clair
I’m a survivor

The first scene opens up of some rocks with prints on it. The camera zooms out to reveal that the prints are some artefacts exposed in a museum. Next to the frame is standing the beautiful, the hottest thing ever: Alexx. He is wearing a full on black suit with golden lines, a black shirt and golden tie. Alexx sighs and starts walking through the museum surrounded with skeletons and fake plants.

Alexx: Survival of the fittest! It’s what Darwin, yes Darwiiiiin, you know the guy who told the story about evolution, you know the thing you can’t learn in the States; and that Darwin guy told the world about evolution and the survival of the fittest. It only tells us that only the strong survive… I see you all judging me! Thinking about my weaknesses, thinking and waiting for me to fall… I know you, Stu, I’ve seen you around. I’ve fought you around. I’ve faced you several times and I guess I’m not part of those weak people. I guess, I’m part of the fittest. I am part of the surviving ones. I am part of the same brand as you are. So, why are you putting yourself and joining up with this stupid moron called G-Rich! Why are you joining up with him? Are you part of the fittest? If you did, you wouldn’t need any attention and you wouldn’t be G-Rich little pawn… So what are you a leach... one of those creatures that only survive because of others like diseases? What are you doing? You were a champion! You don’t need anyone’s help? What happened to you? You act and walk like a pawn, but what happened to the vicious and venomous snake… I am a survivor, I always fought for myself, but everyone thought I would die out as fast as I came, but I kept on rising… I kept on fighting my fights. I am wayyyyy better than those fossils, I kept on going, I am not extinct and no one will ever extinct me. I am here to stay. I fought through this year and for the last few months and fought so much to get to this point of my career. I’ve always wanted to be better and in the last year, I did it, I pushed myself further. I fought for it. I pushed through and I know that I’ve never been this good. Before I never stood a chance next to those big names: Stu St.Clair, or Thomas Princeton, and I couldn’t even imagine stand in the ring and be considered as one of those big ones; but I know now that I am a big one! I am one of those big names. People come to see me even more than before. They came to see this nice piece of meat.


Alexx twirls on himself and keeps on going through the museum, now entering the different era of the world with the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans statues and art.

Alexx: But now, they come to see this champ in action. They see this hot piece of ass and they know the truth that now, I am the best thing in the ring. I am here to stay or go higher. I am not going back to lower state of the X division. I am so much better than anyone in this division and that’s why Catalina Crossover should stay wear it is, yes it, because I’m not sure about It! And why she It stay where it is, while I should go higher? Because I should’ve been chosen to be in the match for the world title at the next PPV, but I got screwed over because of that suppose human being called G-Rich likes to play tricks on us, even if I am way more talented than any challengers in the match, that he set up for Wolf. I defeated several times Carmine Reaper, but he won this one time. And what about Thomas Princeton, he knew that he could never beat me ever again, so he threw the towel! I am legendary! I am going to be even stronger in all I will ever go. I am ready for more and I know that I will be there for more. I am the next in line for the world championship, no matter what. I will show the world that I can do it, I am only a pretty face, I will defeat the former world champion Stu St. Clair, once and for all! I tried so hard to be better in all I did. I don’t care of how cocky I look, I know I am and look at me!

Alexx stops, shows his body.

Alexx: I have reasons to be cocky, but this self-esteem that I have will fuel me to be better than ever. I just want to shove it in G-Rich’s face that no matter what he brings to me; I won’t back down of anything. Because I know I am way far better than he ever though of me. I never thought of him being a hater, but last week I’ve seen clear and I had to do what I did. I smacked this stupid smirk of his face and try to wake him up, wake him up because he’s been dreaming to see me fall. That’s why he kept pitting be in triple threat match, which are harder to win than one on one, or against Carmine Reaper again and again, because he knew Carmine has always been one of my toughest opponent… But does G-Rich know that I bring it! All the time, when it’s worth something I am the best around and you can’t stop me! Be careful! Stu, G, the higher they are the lower they fall and they’ll see and understand the goal of evolution…

Alexx stops next to a Tyranosaurus-rex and points to it. He keeps on walking.

Alexx: I always walk tall. I always talk strongly about myself. I said it; I bring it in everything I do, when it’s important. And it’s important to me to show the world that I am right, I want to show that MONEY is here! The Talent is here! G-Rich, he made a bad choice crossing me, and now his lackey will pay for his stupidity. And that’s horrible to think about this all, all of it because of G-Rich. Stu will be a tough challenge. And I to give credit to G-Rich for getting Stu against me? But I know Stu worked his way to the top, like I did and he never did back down from a challenge. I am following his path, aren’t I? I have fought many battles against him, and I was never the winner. I never saw the real threat in him. I never though of him as one of those people I needed to win against, he wasn’t one of those I should beat to be, it doesn’t counted. But this time… it’s different. It’s a different game. I need to put him out of the way only, because I know I need to. I want to show the world that time has changed. I am ready for a world title shot, but it won’t happen, if I lose, or at least it will be longer. But it’s time! And like Darwin said, okay he never said it, but I am adjusting his words, that time is the solution. They always say that the next generation is always better than the one before. The prehistoric men were dying at thirty and now we die at a hundred and some are still alive afterward. And I’m going to show Stu that I am the next generation. I am the next step in the world championship division… Stu, I am going to be your worst nightmare, you are in my way, you are going to meet the train, this train is full force coming your way and there won’t be any survivors… And CC, you better watch out! I’m coming to show you next that you won’t be competing with anyone as good as I am anytime soon. You’ll go back to class and learn the hard way that there aren’t anyway to success, because it’s mine to grab! And I know you want some of this., who doesn’t? But it’s now by sucking up to the GM you will get any of this… You’ll retreat soon after what I’ll do to Stu… Stu bring it… G-Rich, I hope you’ll be watching. It’s only a preview…

Alexx is now next to a robot, looks at it and leaves.

[Wolf]

Wolf

Duke Drazin

vs.

Darnell Porter

APAB

Anthony

If you ever meet me standing there,
You'll wish that you were never born
I'll seize your soul and strip it bare,
I am the nightmare of your own desire,
I am the song that the Devil sings
Hellfire dancing in my eyes,
You are so quick to hypnotize,
And then I'll merely take your soul.




The scene opens up in a darkened arena, presumably the Area in Chicago, where this years birthday of FWA was set to take place. But instead of applause and cheers, there was only silence. Save for a single hum. It was coming from a spotlight, it the same light shinning down, illuminating the center of the ring. Scattered puzzle pieces lay on the mat - black and white pieces - Your squint in an attempt to decipher the image that was being put together by the one silhouette standing dead in the center. Try as you my, the camera moves in, stopping you from fully grasping the idea behind the work. The shadow gives way as the ghost in the ring reaches into a simple cloth bag, reaching and finding yet another piece.

Wolf: What I hold in my hand looks like a simple piece of a puzzle that's being put together here in FWA. Each one of us holds a piece. Some, such as our opponents this week, don't realize the magnitude of what is taking form nor are they aware of the power they hold over its shape. See, the last time I was seen in this ring, I had been reduced to nothing more than a rabid ANIMAL!

"This ring..."

A look of disdain washes over his face, leaving shades of contempt-

Wolf: This ring is where I lost my sanity...

The "beast" bends at the knees, perching over a series of black puzzle pieces, gazing at whatever was slowly willing itself into existence.

Wolf: And as much blood as I’ve shed... –tilts his head- It’s always been easier, hasn’t it? To sit back and point, condoning my actions but never do I see a single finger - NOT ONE! pointed at yourselves... I died in this ring. I DIED in front all of you. And not a single one shed a tear. I died just to satisfy YOUR depraved desires to venture into madness....

He picks a piece up, examining it through one eye - it is now held in front of the lens.

Wolf: You see, the pieces are all but simple - COMPLEX - and ever changing, evading the superficial lies you've created in hopes of denying THE TRUTH! -smirk- and The Truth, ladies and gentlemen, is that you fear more than just my appearance... my ideals... my LUCIDITY! You hide behind your prejudice because it is easier to objectify me, looking down on me like “freak”... when in reality, deep down in your hearts, you know that I am of the deadliest of competitors. It is only when you get closest to a man that you can see the scars that have made him who he is. Most look at them and see pain, see misfortune or hardship. Others see character, strength, survival. One thing that cannot be disputed… is that they stay with us forever as reminders of our past.

He looks into the camera with that one, sad yellow eye. He appears to be in one of those “deep moments,” where he has just left meditation and seems full of wisdom, far from his destructive, violent tendencies in the ring.


Wolf: My history has left me with many scars: some as ancient as many believe me to be… some that are a bit more recent. As has been discussed at length recently, I am just a man, and it is possible to make me bleed. I’ll never forget battles with men like Duke Drazin… Anthony Jackson… Thomas Princeton… Darnell Porter… men that have stood against me and put up their fiercest fight. It’s a tradition that I’ve become accustomed to over my lifetime, being the big fish in the pond, the largest dog in the fight. My enemies, my opponents have come to look at me in one of two ways: someone to be feared, or someone to be conquered. The scars are from those who have chosen to fight. Some have succeeded… some have failed.

Wolf huffs at this last part, leaning forward, staring at the floor.


,,,,It made me complex beyond the limits of both science and religion......

The camera moves around Wolf, slowly. It was observing. The mad philosopher places yet another piece down into the puzzle that was being birthed in the middle of the ring. It was a black piece, placed above a surface of white pieces.

Wolf: What our opponents hold in their hands is nothing less than pieces of my fate. If Duke Drazin somehow finds a way to defeat me on Anniversary team, I will be muted... once again, I would become mute to the world... and I simply will NOT allow it! At Red White and Bruised Duke Drazin tainted the greatest night of my career by winning both FWA championship and Undisputed Tag Team championship. Despite beating my brother in the most brutal match in the history of this company I remained in shadows! Drazin took my spotlight once and I want back my spotlight!

Wolf reaches into the rather large bag that lay a couple of feet away and pulls out what seems to be another jagged piece of the puzzle that was slowly manifesting – the piece was white.

Wolf: APAB. Now this match can go one of two ways... One, you do it all alone. You can take me out, refuse to tag, whatever. It would be a real handicap match. Or, you could do it the right way. It's up to you. You can trust me! I don't give a shit if you believe this or not, but I swear on all things I hold true to myself, APAB... If one of you reach for my hand, I will be there. If Drazin tries to f*ck with you while you're busy with Anthony, I will be there. If you get blindsided and one of'em rolls you up for a pin, I'll f*cking be there. You have my word,. My word is all I have. It's not great... If you're picking up what I'm putting down. Because, if we want to admit it or not, the team of Drazin, Anthony and Porter has a ridiculous amount of potential to be overwhelming.... Between the ropes, they've got chops. Quick, hungry and dangerous. I need you on my team. Shit, you know what, f*ck it... I need to be on your team. Through Hell and high-water. Through light and darkness. Through battle and brawl... APAB, if you'll have me, I'm your man.


He scratches his chin. Staring at the camera for a moment...

Wolf: If I sound like I'm begging, it's because I am. Because if for one. fucking. second. it seems like I'm about to get hit by friendly fire... It's all f*cked. I'm in a main event match with men that doesn't give a flying f*ck about me or my career, another wants to tear my face off. This will require more in-ring precision than I am used to, or for that matter, have ever had. I need to be on the EXACT same page as APAB. Or it just. won't. work. ... They're awesome. It's like they know what each guy is doing. I know I'm not making much sense. Okay, I'm Anthony, hypothetically, truth be told if I were actually Anthony I'd tie a hundred and fifty pound weight to my ankle and jump into that ocean... Anyway, I'm going to toss Wolf into the ropes; Drazin is going to see that and he'll, I don't know, catch Wolf and toss him in the air. Now, Porter takes a step to the right and grabs the head... Neckbreaker. One, two three. Just like the what the ref will be counting if we let them fall into a rhythm. Each guy just... knows. Maybe that was a bad example, but you can get the gist of what I'm saying here. They're like a machine. Three men working as one. How do you beat that?


His face goes primal... His features become downright frightening...

WOLF: PURE, UNADULTERATED, PHYSICAL BRUTALITY! IN RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS! THAT'S HOW MOTHERF*CKERS! DRAZIN, ANTHONY, PORTER... YOU GUYS ARE THE TEAM! YOU'VE GOT THE SKILL, STRENGTH AND SMARTS TO TAKE THE W! WHAT DO WE HAVE? THE THREE BADDEST TAKING ON THE THREE BEST! WATCH YOUR F*CKING ASSES! FOR EVERY TEXTBOOK MANEUVER, THERE WILL BE A TEXTBOOK, CLOSE-FISTED, RAGE FUELED FIST TO YOUR F*CKING FACES! WHAT I DO AIN'T PRETTY, BUT IT WORKS! AND IT'S GOING TO WORK OVER ALL THREE OF YOU! BRING ALL THAT TALENT, ALL THAT HUNGER, ALL THAT TRAINING, EVERYTHING, BRING IT ALL! BECAUSE THE THREE OF YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO REACH REAL DEEP INTO THAT BAG OF TRICKS! DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN THIS? F*CK YES YOU DO! WILL WE LET YOU? NO! WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN! WE HAVE THESE WEAPONS ATTACHED TO OUR BODIES! HERE IT IS BOYS- He drags his foot horizontally in front of him... -HERE IS THE LINE IN THE SAND! CROSS IT! STEP OVER! YOU WANT A FIGHT? YOU GOT ONE! YOU THREE WANT TO WIN? YOU'VE GOT TO F*CKING EARN IT! THE TIME HAS COME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP BOYS!

He pulls a cigarette from behind his ear, then immediately lights it. He takes a long drag and calms himself before he continues...

Wolf: Tomorrow night, Darnell, Drazin, Anthony, you're in for the fight of your lives. Tomorrow night, wear helmets, wear masks, wear protective padding. Because if you think you're going to walk out of that match and into a photo-shoot, you're out of your f*cking skulls! Tomorrow night, I take out all my anger, all my frustration... Tomorrow night, there will be blood. And that's not a threat... It's a promise.

The puzzle was taking shape, its' true from being revealed with every snap.


Wolf: Jesus? His existence is questioned. Duke Drazin? His is known and we are reminded of it at least twice a week. It's a fifty-fifty shot either way I guess. But the implications of Duke Drazin upon modern religion is a discussion for another day... Let me break it down like this: Screw JBL... Drazin is a Wrestling God.

Wolf takes a long drag off his cigarette, he exhales as he speaks....

Wolf: Why is it that I can't stand the son of a b*tch?

Wolf stares into the camera. His face is like steel. The camera pulls in just a little tighter on The Angel of Death as he begins to speak in hushed tone...

Wolf: Maybe it's because his ego needs it's own locker room. Maybe it's because he's outwitted me more times than I've even spoken to him. Maybe it's because he has everything he could possibly want in this business and doesn't give a shit about any of it? Maybe it is because he tainted the greatest night of my career? Maybe it's because he can have a family and enjoy himself and live a happy little life with the woman of his dreams and I'm stuck in dirty locker-rooms and hotel rooms as far from home as I can get most of the time fighting for my life on an almost daily basis? Am I jealous of Drazin? Yeah, probably. But is any of that why I hate him? No... I've accepted the fact that I'm condemned. But still even if I have to crush your testicles to keep you down and out so Dan Ward has enough time to pin that tag along of yours and then stomp his throat... Then I will. I will destroy you without even breathing on you if I have to. Any means necessary. Anthony you are the weak link in this bout. You have got the chops. You're a great guy, I don't think you're a lip-service type. I just think you're a genuinely nice guy... BUT THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS A PROBLEM, ANTHONY! We all know what happens to nice guys... That is why Drazin was never a nice guy. And that is why you have been riding his cocktails to this point. IF THERE IS ONE THING I CAN'T STAND? IT'S A F*CKING BAND-WAGON JUMPER!

Wolf takes a drag off his smoke and whips it down, the embers exploding in the darkness. He stares at the camera fuming... After a few moments, he turns his head and spits. Then sits back in the shadows... His deep, dark voice resonates from the darkness.

WOLF: AND IF THERE IS TWO THINGS I CAN'T STAND IT'S A BAND-WAGON JUMPER TEAMING WITH A MOTHERF*CKER STICKING HIS NOSE WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG! WINS AND LOSSES DON'T F*CKING MATTER TO ME, PORTER ! YOU KNOW WHAT MATTERS TO ME? PAIN, SUFFERING AND BLOOD! IF I MAKE YOU SUFFER WHILE YOU BLEED AND CRY OUT IN PAIN, I'VE DONE MY F*CKING JOB! I'M TWICE THE SIZE OF YOU! I SHIT BIGGER THAN YOU! I EAT STEAKS THAT WEIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU! I F*CKING DRINK YOUR WEIGHT IN BEER AND WHISKEY AND CAN STILL WALK AWAY! I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IN THE F*CKING FLESH, DARNELL! AND YOU DECIDED TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME? WHY? BECAUSE YOU WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT? WELL YOU'RE ABOUT TO MAKE A STATEMENT! YOU'RE ABOUT TO SCREAM THAT STATEMENT SO LOUD ALL OF CHICAGO IS GOING TO HEAR IT! THAT STATEMENT WILL BE THIS: "I'M SO F*CKING SORRY I EVER EVEN CONSIDERED STICKING MY NOSE INTO WOLFS BUSINESS! I AM SORRY FOR HELPING G RICH AND CARMINE! I THINK I'M SHITTING MY PANTS!" F*CK YOU PORTER! YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO I AM! SO, ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF! I'M THE ANGEL OF DEATH, WOLF! AND I'M GOING TO BE THE ONE SHOVING HIS FIST DOWN YOUR THROAT! WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAYS OF THE LAST DAYS OF YOUR F*CKING CAREER! I'M NOT GOING TO PUT YOU ON THE SHELF, DARNELL I'M GOING TO F*CKING END YOU! PERIOD! YOU CAN GO F*CK YOURSELVE ! BECAUSE WHEN THE BELL RINGS AND THE SMOKE IS CLEARED, IT'S GOING TO BE ME STANDING TALL WITH HIS ARM RAISED! AND IT'S GOING TO BE YOU, FLAT ON THE MAT IN A PUDDLE OF YOUR OWN BLOOD, PISS AND LIQUID FECAL MATTER!!! BRING EVERYTHING YOU GOT TOMORROW NIGHT, PORTER! BRING ALL THAT TALENT THAT BROUGHT YOU INTO THE PROMISED LAND OF FANTASY WRESTLING ALLIANCE! DON'T DO IT FOR ME, DON'T DO IT FOR THE FANS, DON'T DO IT FOR TAG CHAMPS, DO IT FOR YOURSELF! WHY? BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT!

He pauses

Wolf: I'll remind the world just why I'm called "The Angel of Death" I am going to crush, cripple, maim and destroy for that belt... And I'm going to win. And that is not a threat...Do you know what happens when MAN has already faced his demise yet still walks among the living? ... and so we drift between this world and the shattered pieces of what once was... only one thing remains... one single drive that persists above all others...

"... the desire to be remembered..."

Tomorrw, I take the spotlight I deserve!

He slowly moves the black dreads to the back of his ear, revealing the imprint of the skull etched onto his face. It is a Death Mask. The camera pans up and over Wolf before its' gaze turns to the puzzle. The pieces had been set, the same dead eyes looking up from the mat - they were Wolfs eyes. Every piece playing a role in its' manifestation, the Angel was willing itself back into FWA through the very fabric of the bloodstained battleground that would inevitably consume all wrestlers. Wolf stood in the ring, emotionless, staring down into his grim skull-like visage that now covered most of the ring. He was looking at the past, present, and future... and the possibility of the end.

[Minstrel of Chaos]

The scene opens up in an elevator, with William chatting amicably with the tour guide. The other people are just watching and pointing at the red-haired superstar. William is in a dress shirt with a dark red windbreaker over the shirt. Next to him is his lovely assistant, wearing a casual white business blouse and a knee length red skirt. She sits and watches William as he chats it up with the elevator attendant.

Will: You know it's always nice to be able to enjoy the sites in Chicago. Especially when it's something the whole crew can enjoy. You know, I thought about going fishing today, but sadly my lovely companion here decided against the idea.

The attendant looks confused for a moment before asking the inevitable question.

Attendant: Why did she do that?

William smiles, and Maria just shakes her head, as he responds with a jovial laugh.

Will: I wanted to go fishing for sharks. I always wanted to know if there were any in the Great Lakes.

Maria decides to pipe in quickly so that she wouldn't sound like the bad guy.

Maria: He seems to neglect mentioning what he was going to use for bait, or should I say whom?

William gets a laugh, before the attendant looks nervous a moment. Will just looks to Maria wearing that grin, before leaning over to speak to her.

Will: I told you I'd pay for the scuba gear, and the guys all were eager to do it. It wasn't like they were the ones getting dunked. Besides it would have made a great headliner for the Tribune if I actually caught one using that method. It would have read 'Man catches shark using himself as bait'. I would have love to have seen that one. I even had the scuba gear from that time Long said I couldn't ride a shark. Best $100 I ever made.

Maria just rubs her forehead in exasperation. She then swats Will in the back the head, mostly to ease her own frustration but also to wipe the grin off.

Maria: Why is it that you pick the most outrageous tasks to set for yourself? It's almost like you want to intentionally give me a heart attack.

Will grins again as he rubs the back of his head to ease out the mild pain. She had gotten him with her ring.

Will: Hey! I didn't go shark fishing 'this' time. This task is actually one of the tamer ones by comparison to my usual 'antics'. Although Long, Ben, and Lucky aren't too happy about wearing the outfits. And Long is definitely not happy that he's dressed up as a Furry, but I doubt that I'll get any sort of backlash from that. Too bad you wouldn't wear the outfit.

Maria glares daggers at her companion, her hand twitching to slap him in the back of the head.

Maria: I would have settled on the red trenchcoat and fedora, but I sure as hell wasn't going to dress up in a red and white striped sweater. That is going to far. I don't even know how you managed to talk Long into wearing a dog suit and traipse around downtown, just so you could play this stupid little game. I won't even begin to question why you made Lucky dress up in that ridiculous robe and hat.

Will chuckles before pulling a book out of her purse. A 'Where's Waldo' book.

Will: To be fair, this was one of my favorite books as a kid. I always wanted to travel the world like he did, and be the standout in the crowds of the world. Just instead of wearing a ridiculous outfit, I do things other people don't have the drive or bravery to. It's part of my charm. Now that I'm grown up, in a manner of speaking, I still like to go back to those childhood memories in spectacular fashion. This time it just happens to manifest into a real life version of 'Where's Waldo', using the Sears tower as the means to be in a bird's eye view of the place. Makes it far more interesting. Plus it's fun the whole tour group can enjoy!

Maria just smiles at the child like manner of wonderment William seems to have as he speaks about his newest idea. The crowd all seem to murmur about the happenings, and all seem to be nodding their heads in agreemet that it could be something fun to do at the tower. The elevator opens up, and everyone steps out as people grab out their cameras, and all spread out around the tower, many of them using the zoom functions to look for the various Waldo characters in the streets. William and Maria both casually stroll around, as Maria hands William his binoculars out of her purse.

Maria: I wonder sometimes why you do these things, William? I mean some of the latest ones have been pretty off the walls of late. They've had something to do with the person you've been facing in the ring that week, but this one seems a little out there. I mean, what could this possibly have to do with Carmine the Reaper? I mean the shark thing would have made more sense, but it was one of the few times I managed to talk you out of doing something dangerous.

William smiles, not taking the binoculars down as he speaks to her.

Will: The fact of the matter is that Carmine, the big softie he is, would probably stop wrestling if Katie ever asked it of him. He thinks the world of that woman, and would go to the ends of the earth just to achieve her happiness. While I may not share her sentiment, I will state that you and the rest of my crew are just as important to me. While I won't stop doing my crazy antics, I will still listen to each of you, just like Carmine does for Katie. You all know that, even though it may not seem like it at times. I push boundaries, because that's just who I am. I love having a good time with the people I care about, but I know that there's nothing quite like the thrill of pushing yourself to the limit. Carmine has a hard time doing that lately, but I know he's trying at least. More than I can say for a majority of the roster. It almost seems like everyone's phoning it in as it were, and not giving the same gusto alot of others are. Carmine just seems stuck. Maybe he needs to break out his little shell and just do something wild for once. He's had it rough with groups of late, and I doubt it will get any better anytime soon. It's sort of like he's playing 'Where's Waldo' with his career. In his case, Waldo represents the direction he wants to take his career in. He keeps searching and searching, thinking he's found it, but just finds out it's a look-a-like. Gets frustrating after awhile, I can tell you that.

William, taking the binoculars down with a scowl, points in the direction of Navy Pier.

Will: I think Woof is flipping me off! Oh yeah Woof! Real kid friendly!

Maria just shakes her head at William's outburst.

Maria: In his defense, you made him wear a dog suit.

William just shrugs at that.

Will: In all fairness, he was the only one who fit in it, and besides. I'm giving him the $50 dollars I made from Ben betting I couldn't talk him into it.

Maria giggles a little bit at that, before continuing on about questioning William about the Anniversary show.

Maria: So what about Kennedy? He did get a good shot in on you...

William holds up a finger to interject.

Will: Sucker punch... er, kick.

Maria: Okay, but that doesn't change the fact he struck you.

William grins before changing places and moving off to new position to see if he could spot his friends.

Will: I have something special planned for our resident 'Golden' boy. Suffice it to say he'll end up with egg on his face. He's so smug right now, because he managed to get one good shot in on me, but it just goes to show that I struck a nerve. I seem to be getting increasingly good at that lately. He's waiting on that opportune moment to strike at Duke Drazin, and he's hoping it will be at Mile High. I doubt he's going to find himself a champion at the end though. He's impressive, and he's got talent, but so does the World champ. And besides, he has to face a man who is well known for leaving his opponents a mess, Charon. I mean the man has a mean kick, but I get the feeling it isn't his so-called signature. Oh well, he still has what it takes to leave Chris a mess for me. Not like I like leaving my battles to someone else, but I don't get to pick my battles in the FWA, much as I'd like to. I'd also like to state that it seems I'm facing yet another former champ, in Carmine. Is it just me, or is management trying to tell me that they want me as their spokesperson? I mean what's next, I'll be facing Stu St. Clair? Duke Drazin? The Titan of the Tatas? I wouldn't be all that surprised if they dragged Rocky Creed back just to duke it out with me.

As William continues to look through the lens, he pulls them away to look over at Maria.

Will: Huh. That's the first time I found Wizard Whitebeard riding a Fatboy. See this is why I love playing this game this way. Never quite know what I'm going to see next. Such a great way to enjoy the game. But yeah, I suppose facing champions is a great way to test my skill and push my limits. I just feel like they aren't taking me seriously enough yet. Just like I expect Carmine won't take this seriously because there isn't anything really on the line. I guess that's another reason I chose a more laid back idea this time as well. Carmine isn't exactly going to throw his all at me.

William having finished his circuit around the tower, before pulling out his cellphone. He dials up a number, before Maria looks at him confused.

Will: Hey Waldo, where the hell are you?

A muffled response is heard on the other end.

Will: I thought we stated that being indoors was out of bounds. You know Long is going to kill you right. If he had to get in the dog suit, the least you could do is show in the outfit. I always knew Waldo cheated!

A muffled response later has William shouting down at the phone.

Will: Curse you Waldo and your infernal logic!

The scene fades to black, with a little girl looking over at William as he spouts curses at his phone that seem to be being shouted over by Maria, who is trying to calm William down.

Little Girl: Mommy? What's a monkey spanker?

’Changing up the Scenario’

The scene opens up with flashback moments in the FWA 5th Anniversary Show. We see pictures of Anthony walking down to the ring, a smile on his face, his wife on his arm. Then we see pictures of his opponent, Devin Golden and then how they contested the match, we see how at the end of the match they shook hands with honor and pride. A voice booms and you immediately identify it as the TV and Tag Team Champion’s voice, Anthony’s voice.

.:: Anthony || FWA TV & Tag Champion ::.
”Oh how the scenario has changed and in only a year. A little more than a year ago, I was title less, I was about to quit FWA, I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what was going to be my future in FWA. I thought that I was going to be nothing. But see a whole year later, see what I did, I came out of that whole and now you don’t see me with only one title, but two titles. I am one of the two men that de-throned two of the most dominant champions ever in Aut Pax Aut Bellum. I have done things deemed as ‘impossible’ by other men. I stood up to them and said ‘Nay… I WILL do it.’ I helped bring down part of ‘The Most Dominant Stable’ The Great Siege. I have been one of the most dominant champion not only this year, but in the history of FWA.”

More pictures flash from when he was going up in the title divisions, as how he went up from having no titles to being jumped up to the TV title fight, and when he won it, we see a couple of flashes from his opponents in the past, trying to get his TV title.

.:: Anthony || FWA TV & Tag Champion ::.
”Today is September 18th, 2011. Today is the exact one year anniversary to win the TV title. Something that people didn’t think that I’d do. I have held the title for exactly a year, today. Jibade Jones was supposed to take this title away from me, he didn’t and now where is he? Out of FWA. The Rebel Badass was supposed to defeat me, he didn’t and now where is he? In a bar, somewhere in Texas cursing at me now. PAJ was supposed to decimate me and take my title away… he took my title… but only stole it and then… I took him down and now he is out of FWA. No one… no one has been able to stand up against me and no one will. Through the last year, I’ve showed FWA and it’s fans what I am capable of doing and what I will do even if I have reached the highest point that I wanted.”

Pictures keep flying by, his chance at the Carnal Contendership and his chance at the Golden Opportunity Chamber, his matches against Gabrielle and Aut Pax Aut Bellum, him defeating Alex in their champion versus champion match.

”I have gone beyond my wildest dreams here in FWA. I have done more than I could ever imagine and want here in FWA. But just because of that, it doesn’t mean that I will stop going on here in the FWA. I have represented not only myself and my brand here in FWA, but I have also represented the hope for the people in FWA. I have shown everyone that you don’t need to play cheap to win titles, that you can win by playing how you need to and playing just right. That all you need is ability to win matches. I know that, the fans know that but most importantly my opponents always know that. They know that I go out there and I go out there to win, that I go out there and that I won’t give up, that I won’t stop fighting until I am either half dead or until my hand is raised as the victor. That is why the fans admire me, why they follow what I do, why they want to see me out there, fighting for a single cause. This year, the FWA Anniversary Show, not only showcases great matches, but it also showcases the induction probably the greatest wrestler of all time: Matt Boudreau. He was someone that influenced a lot in me, someone that pushed me to the stars, along with other legends. They trusted in me to make this company better and I think that I have done a damn good job with it. I have changed the landscape of it, and there are no two other men that know this better than the ex-tag team champions, Aut Pax Aut Bellum.”

Pictures of the encounters between APAB and Anthony pass, with sometimes Anthony dominating, others with APAB dominating. But in the end only one photo stands above them all, Anthony and Drazin holding the tag team titles.

.:: Anthony || FWA TV & Tag Champion ::.
”No other wrestlers know that I don’t give up without a fight better than these two men. They know that there is no way that they will stop me. Every time that they tried to fight against me, every time that they tried to one up me, I came out on top. It didn’t matter the team, it didn’t matter the match, I came out on top. That is why I teamed up with Duke Drazin, to show them that even though they had had those titles for two years, we weren’t messing around, that we weren’t just a flash in the pan. That even though we hadn’t been together for years, we were going to take them down. That they weren’t invincible. Drazin and I took APAB by surprise, we took them down when they were expecting it the least. APAB was on the top too long and they didn’t expect two ‘Amateurs’ without teamwork and organization to take them down. But we showed them that we were just too good for them. And now that we took their titles away, they have been hunting us like a pack of wild animals, they have been searching for ways to defeat us and take the titles back with them, because they need the titles for their egos. That is good, we need competition to not be like them. To stay on our toes, to show them what good champions do. Unlike APAB, Drazin and I are not scared to fight, we are ready for anything or anyone. We have proved that we can defeat them, in more than one occasion. In singles competition, tag team competition or multiple men competition. It doesn’t matter how they try to take us down, we are ready for them. Like in this match, they team with The World Champion, Wolf. They are going to go out there and try to take us down just because one element changed. But they don’t seem to notice that the element that needs to change is APAB. The element that brings them down is only themselves and until they realize that, they will not be able to defeat us just because their teammate changed. APAB needs to give up, they need to stop trying to fight against us trying to gain back their glory, they need to find other divisions to try and shine, because as they once held this division by the neck, we now hold it tightly.”

Silence ensues for a minute, a photo of Anthony with both titles appears on the screen and fades, becoming into him sitting in a chair with a desk in front of him with both his titles in front of him. His hair is styled up, his skin is as white as ever, he has a black jacket on as always and he has a white undershirt, his hands are crossed.

”I am not saying that Drazin and I are invincible, I am not saying that we won’t lose every now and then. But Drazin and I know exactly what to do, we know how you guys think, how you operate, you guys operate by fear, by trying to enter to your opponent’s mind and fooling them into thinking that they don’t have a chance. Drazin and I don’t fall into that, we don’t fall into despair. I have beat you so many times before that I am already used to your tactics, I am used to what you guys do and Drazin… well he won’t fall into your tricks… you guys try to cruise by fear, but when people saw you fall to us, they stopped fearing you, they stopped respecting you. I have said in the past so many things about APAB, that I don’t know what else to say for them. APAB, from this match you better expect the same as our last encounters… but fear… fear is something a lot of wrestlers try to cruise by, but very few can actually scare the others, and those who do, are wrestlers that only deserve respect from their co-workers. This… this is something that our other opponent has. He is one of those guys that you see walking towards you and you are like ‘Okay, he seems like someone I could take down’ but when you start seeing him wrestling or hear him talking, he is someone that scares you. He is an animal in the ring and he is like a screaming banshee when you hear him talking… he is the World Champion, Wolf.”

A little smile appears in his face when he mentions the name ‘Wolf,’ not because he is cocky, but because he is happy.

.:: Anthony || FWA TV & Tag Champion ::.
”Ahh… you see this is the first time that I ever fight against Wolf. But I feel like if I already know the guy, sure, he isn’t someone to mess with, but you know… that is what I am always looking for in an opponent, an opponent that basically pushes you to the limit, an opponent that makes you stay on the top of your game, someone that you can’t slack against, otherwise you are done. He is like a berserker, he is like someone that wants to eat you alive. And that is what I always look for in an opponent. Does he scare me? No. I know people like Wolf and how far they would go, they would snap my neck if they would need to, but that doesn’t scare me because everyone of us would do just the same as them. But I don’t fear him, because that gives them strength, that gives them all their power and fuel to try and keep on dominating by fear… and that is not the way I like to go, I don’t induct fear into people, I induct respect into them. But oh Wolf… he is one guy that could scare anyone, Every time he talks, screams at you, you feel like if your bones are going to pop out of your body and that is what fuels me in this match, that is what makes me go to the extreme, that is what will make me try to induct fear into Wolf, make him respect the name ‘Anthony.’ I respect Wolf, but does he respect me? I don’t know… will he respect me after this match? He will. If Wolf hadn’t heard my name before this match, he will hear it now, he will know who I am, he will know why I fight… Wolf I respect you, but that will not mean I will go easy on you, that will just make me want to go fight better and I am looking forward to facing you, only to take you down. It's time for people to see that I am not only a simple TV and Tag Team Champion... but a future World Champion... and people will see that when I take you down... as I have taken world champions before. Wolf... you'll see that I am the future of this industry.”

Anthony’s facial expression changes from a smile to a look of concern.

.:: Anthony || FWA TV & Tag Champion ::.
”The only thing that concerns me in this match is one thing: Darnell Porter. I don’t know whether to trust him or not. I am not sure what to think of him. He was in the Great Siege but then he was kicked out and the problems kept going and it’s all just a mess. He wasn’t giving it his all, but I hear that he is doing really good now, so he better not disappoint. Darnell, I don’t care who you have a problem with, as long as you go out there and fight with us, you do what you want, but don’t let us down… or there will be hell to pay. I have nothing to say to Duke Drazin, he knows what to do and I know what to do… we work well together and that is all that matters… I have nothing else to say to Wolf, to APAB or to Darnell… In the ring… I’ll let my fighting do the talking. To my opponents… I wish you good luck… but there is no way in hell that you guys are coming out as the winners.”

A grin appears on his face as he is confident that all will go his way as the scene fades to black…
