Promos for Assault 15 June 2018

[Gary Bloomfield]

*The scene shows a small but elaborate dining room setting. There are several small dining tables and at each table are seated PWA's wrestling stars and their guests. One side of the room is dominated by a stage, which is centered with a podium decorated with the PWA logo. Gary Bloomfield climbs the stairs on one end of the stage and approaches the podium.*

GARY: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first PWA Post-Season Award Ceremony where we honor this season's best athletes and rising stars!" *applause* "Our first category is this season's Most Respected Wrestler and here to present the envelope containing the winner's name, please welcome to the stage-...... uh.... is this right?"

*Gary looks quizzically to his right as Bartholomew "Brawler" Beckett makes his way quickly to the podium with several envelopes in hand*

BECKETT: "Of course it's correct, Mr. Bloomfield, now step aside mush, and let a real professional handle this. Yes, well, the winner of this season's Most Respected Wrestler Award is... *opens envelope* ah, well, this IS a shock! 'Brawler' Beckett! Right, well, that's me! No surprise, really, I must say. What's not to love, right? Now then, moving along, the award for Breakout Athlete goes to... *opens envelope* well, I should have seen this coming. Me again! Now, moving on to-"

*Security approaches the stage and surrounds Beckett. Beckett begins to protest as the guards grab his arms. Beckett desperately grabs several award plaques as security begins dragging him to the exit.*

GARY: "Ladies and gentlemen, I do apologize for that unfortunate interruption. Now then, the award for Most Respected Wrestler for Season 1 goes to....

TIGER GOLD! (+1 Wrestler Rank for Season 2)"

GARY: "Congratulations to Tiger Gold! Our award for Most Hated Wrestler goes to...

"BRAWLER" BECKETT! (+1 Wrestler Rank for Season 2)"

GARY: "Huh... stands to reason, but.... he doesn't work here anymore, can we do that? Well, moving forward! Our winner for Breakout Athlete of Season 1 goes to...

SPENCER WATTS! (+1 Wrestler Rank for Season 2)"

GARY: "We expect to see great things from Spencer Watts in the near future! Next, the winner of the Most Intense Rivalry for Season 1 goes to...

SNOW vs. 'BRAWLER' BECKETT! (+5 Creation Points for Season 2)"

GARY: "Competition brings out the best in our athletes! Now, the recipient of the Badger Leland Memorial Award for Best Interview goes to...

AKIRA WYLD! (+1 Charisma for Season 2)"

GARY: "And finally, the award for Best Match of Season 1 goes to...

BRIAN FURY vs. TIGER GOLD, Assault FEB 23rd! (+5 Creation Points for Season 2)"

[Gary Bloomfield]

As an aside, there were some ties so I had to make decisions on who won what. I tried to be as fair and unbiased as I could and looked at several factors and based my decisions on those factors.

[Quillz]

‘Several factors’ including crisp folded Andrew Jacksons slipped under management’s door.

[Gary Bloomfield]

How dare you! Franklins- uh, FRANKLY, I find that accusation abhorrent!

[Stu]

Well, since you started this monster, that could be considered the bribe of Franklinstein.

[BG05]

Oh boy.....

LOL!

Question: When does Season 2 start??

[Gary Bloomfield]

First show is scheduled for June 15th, have submissions in by June 8th, get with others and come up with angles.

[Nick Spoils]

Camera opens on Nick Spoils, dressed rather more black-tie than usual. He stands in front of a backdrop reminiscent of a red carpet affair, blanketed with logos from a few of PWA's sponsors.

NICK: Ladies And Gentlemen. It is now my DISTINCT pleasure to introduce you to PWA's FIRST and ONLY Tag Team Champions. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...ARRRRRRRMAGEDDON!

Ragnarok and Gehenna walk into frame, as the camera zooms out a little to get them both in frame. Both men are in ring attire. Gehenna has the belt around his waist, while Ragnarok has it in one fist, almost as if he's ready to use it as a weapon.

NICK: Yes, that's right. Despite the inferior team that Damion Black decided to saddle my boys with, who could generously be described as only a moderate hindrance, Armageddon came through victorious. Proving themselves, as I have said time and time again, the top team in PWA. Proving that none can stand against them. PROVING that they stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Now, that said, in management's ill-advised little tournament at Rise of Kings, it seems that they saw fit to name a top contending team for Armageddon's titles. Honestly, it's beyond me as to why they believe ANY team in this company could stand up to these two right here, but so be it. Now as for this team, Let me talk to you on your level here for a minute.

Ahem.

Yo, Ice Cobras, or whatever you're called. We've seen how desperate you are for cash. You can't afford to pay the hospital bills you'll suffer when you take us on in the ring. Walk away now, and we'll play nice and forget you were ever in the conversation.

Did I do that right? Regardless, the point stands. Walk away now, and Armageddon will stand tall as the rightful champions, and you can go on being the little peons, the peasants, the, the wannabes that you are. But persist in pushing your claim against us, and you will suffer the consequences. Things might even get a little...Psychotic. You've been warned.

Nick walks out, followed by Armageddon. The camera remains focused on the backdrop for a moment when Yamasaki Nakamura enters the frame. He pauses, turns to the camera, and slowly takes out a sickle. He rakes it across the back of one hand, drawing blood, which he wipes across his own face. Another pause, and he follows the others out of frame.

[BG05]

(The scene opens in front of a PWA banner. “Insane” Jack Lane stands in his wrestling gear with gold chains around his neck holding a microphone.)

Lane: Rise of Kings.....Light Heavyweight title match....That belt was MINE!!

Pantaro, I want you to listen real well. You pinned me at Rise of Kings to win the Light Heavyweight title and you’re probably feeling REAL good about it, homie. Probably feeling like you got PWA on LOCK!! Nah homie, what we have is a real beef, ya dig?

(Lane pauses and is agitated. Lane looks down at the floor and then stares into the camera.)

Lane: I pinned Derrick Arzon! I pinned Spencer Watts! All you did was hang loose and BARELY got a pin on me after I beat 2 men in 1 match!! Don’t forget that to even GET to this match I beat your PARTNER in the ring. You haven’t shown the world you’re the best, you’ve just shown you’re an opportunist. Is THAT why you hide behind that mask, playa?

The fact of the matter is I KNOW that I can beat you one on one!! All I need is for you to get in the ring with me and fight me face to face instead of “creeping” like TLC!! Tell you what I’ll do....

(Lane bends down and takes off his gold chains. He holds the chains up with his left hand while holding the microphone with his right hand.)

Lane: I got these gold chains hustling a dude who thought he was better than me. Thought he could beat me because he was bigger than me. Faster than me. I. PROVED. HIM. WRONG!! Now these chains are mine. Pantaro, I want you in a match one on one! You can even leave the belt at home for this match. I want to prove to YOU and the rest of the WORLD that I am the best in the world! If I beat you....take that back.....WHEN I BEAT YOU.... I want a title shot somewhere down the line. If you beat me.....these chains are yours! You like gold, don’t ya? Isn’t that why you stayed low while the REST OF US actually FOUGHT? To make sure you walked away with GOLD?

Pantaro, what’s it gonna be? You gonna stay masked up in the shadows or are you gonna face me like a MAN?

(Scene fades to black.)

[Ameronth]

*The scene opens and we see Pantaro, his back to the camera, doing free squats in front of a mirror, watching his form to make sure he gets the most out of every squat.*

PANTARO: "497.... 498..... 499.... 500."

*Pantaro turns and grabs a water bottle and takes drink, then he turns to the camera.*

PANTARO: "Rise of Kings was a historic night. Champions were proven, careers were changed forver. Destinies were fulfilled. So many strong competitors, it's a shame there could be so few winners. Jack Lane, I understand your frustration. You are a gifted wrestler, a talented athlete, and a very proud young man. You have a tremendously bright future, but a word of caution, mi amigo: pride can blind your vision and cloud your memory.

"You claim I stayed back and waited for an opportunity to strike. I did choose my shots, and I measured every blow, but make no mistake. I competed every bit as hard as Arzon, Watts, and yourself. You imply that I caught you by surprise with a quick pin. Maybe your pride will not let you admit what happened, but you submitted. You tapped out. You gave up. And now you accuse me of being a coward? Of taking an easy road while my opponents went full bore? Most men might be offended, but I admire you fire and your spirit. You wish to prove you are the best., so do we all. As for your challenge.... keep your gold chain. I reject your challenge.

"I do not fight for gold. I do not fight to take advantage of others. I fight for honor and to preserve the integrity of our sport. So, allow me to make a challenge of my own. You and I will wrestle. I will put my gold on the line; The PWA Light Heavyweight Championship, in a 2 out of 3 Falls match. This is your chance to show everyone that you are champion. If you win, you are the Light Heavyweight Champion. But if you lose, then you shake my hand like a man and admit that I am a man of honor. I await your answer."
