Promos for Assault 1 September 2018

[BG05]

(The scene opens with Ronnie Stockholm sitting in a chair facing Brian Fury ready to conduct an interview for “PWA Profiles”. Both men are on set at the PWA offices and have a PWA banner draped behind them with a monitor playing various highlights of Brian Fury. Stockholm is wearing a white collared shirt with khakis. Brian Fury sits across from him in a black PWA shirt and jeans with a knee brace on his left leg. Music starts and Stockholm faces the camera.)

Stockholm: Hi fans! Welcome to another installment of PWA Profiles. I’m your host Ronnie Stockholm and my guest today certainly needs no introduction. He’s one of the top contenders to the PWA World title and has most recently been involved in a bitter feud with Nick Spoils and his associates. Please welcome Brian Fury to the show.

Fury: Thanks for having me. It’s good to be here, man.

Stockholm: Brian, the PWA Armada has seen the heinous attack perpetrated by Gehenna and Brawler Beckett a few weeks ago on Assault. I’ve been getting emails and messages from all types of social media asking about your condition. How have you been?

Fury: First off I want to thank the PWA Armada for their concern. They are the best fans in the world, no doubt about it! I’m banged up but it’s been worse. Gehenna and Brawler Beckett did a number on my knee. I probably shouldn’t wrestle the rest of the season but I’ve got to get back out there and set things right against Nick Spoils!

Stockholm: What have you been up to since the attack?

Fury: I’ve really had to sit back and run through some things in my mind. Week in and week out I show up and I face the best PWA has to offer, no questions asked. Last time out I faced Gehenna and he beat me in the middle of the ring. I’m not gonna sit here and make excuses or talk about my injuries. I’ve been banged up before and Damion Black has put together the toughest roster I’ve ever been a part of. On any given night anyone can be beat and that’s what happened to me. Gehenna is one tough customer and I’ll be the first to tell you his submissions HURT! At the end of the day he should be proud of his win....but not proud of who he associates with.

Stockholm: Can you explain what you mean by that?

Fury: It’s simple - Nick Spoils is a leech. He hired Brawler Beckett to be ringside and cause distractions for me. Now Spoils will tell the WORLD how Gehenna beat me on his own and what not, but IF he had so much faith in his man then why was Beckett there? The truth is he doesn’t have faith in his men. The truth is he knows that if they lose the belts his gravy train runs out so he’s hell bent on making sure that doesn’t happen.

( Fury looks at the camera and points.)

Gehenna, you don’t need Spoils! You’re good enough on your own. He’s just taking a percentage of your money, that’s it. Trust me, when the next “new thing” comes along he’ll drop you and Ragnarok and not think twice!

Stockholm: So how do you plan on overcoming the seemingly impossible odds stacked against you?

(Fury exhales, pauses, and strokes his beard.)

Fury: Honestly man..... I don’t know. I’ve got 4 men and their hired goon gunning for me but I don’t back down from anyone! I’ve made my bed, I chose this path, and I will continue to walk it even if it kills me! You would have to be a crazy man to want to get involved with this situation so I plan on pushing through until I get to Spoils! I don’t have any help against these guys. I just have guts and determination to see this through.

(Fury closes his eyes and then looks at Stockholm.)

I’m not as young as I was and I’ve been through some wars but I have JUST enough in the tank to put these guys down once and for all!! I don’t back down from anyone, I’m not built like that! Mark my words....one day at a time, one match at a time, I will eliminate all the things in the way of me getting to Spoils. Nakamura won’t stop me, Gehenna won’t stop me, Ragnarok won’t stop me.....No one will stop me until I get Spoils’ head on a platter!!

The bottom line is I’m prepared to do WHATEVER it takes to get my point across. PWA....you’ve been warned!!

Stockholm: Strong words from Brian Fury! This is Ronnie Stockholm signing off and telling you to be on the lookout for the next installment of “PWA Profiles”!!

(Scene fades to black.)

[Nick Spoils]

Nick Spoils stands backstage, Nakamura at his side.

NICK: "Last Assault, my boys the Reigning Two Time PWA Tag Team Champions put on a grueling clinic. Each of them spent nearly thirty consecutive minutes in the ring as the legal man, just because they felt like it. The poor Coldsnakes never stood a chance. I almost felt sorry for them. Loaded mask, green mist, brass knuckles, low blows...you boys pulled out all the stops. It just wasn't quite enough.

With that said, I've told them to take this show off. They deserve it, to be honest.

Which brings me to Brian Fury. My boy, I don't know what to do with you. I've tried talking sense to you. I've tried forgiving you and welcoming you back to the fold. I've tried beating you down.  You're like an old jug of milk that nobody washed out, Brian. You stink, you need to be taken care of, but it's a dirty business.

Fortunately, we have someone who specializes in sorry business. And since if asked him to take it easy at your last meeting, he's been champing at the bit to maim you again. So, I propose to let him. Brian Fury vs Yamasaki Nakamura 3.

Personally, I suggest you refuse the challenge, Brian. Not if you value your career, your livelihood. But it's up to you.

[Pennyworth]

Backstage after the last episode of Assault, Pennyworth and Lance Steamer are shaking hands.

PENNYWORTH: Lance, it's been a surprising pleasure. The look on Akira Wyld's face when he realized he now had a loss to you on his record was pure gold. And I should know.

Even better, though, is that he still hasn't managed to defeat me. I've got his number, and he knows it.  The satisfaction I get from that is like the finest caviar. Pure perfection.

Keep up the regimen, Lance. You've got talent, you just need to hone it. Until then, you've tagged me in. I've got this.

STEAMER: Thanks, Rich. Until next time.

(Brian Fury opens the PWA app on his phone after finishing a workout. He watches the video taped by Nick Spoils and Nakamura Yamasaki and a stern look comes across his face.)

Fury: One step at a time, one match at a time. Looks like Yamasaki is up next. This time I’ll finish the job. Better go sign the contract and make this official.

(Fury closes the app, puts his phone in his gym bag, and heads out the door.)

*The scene opens on Starr stepping out of a limo at a state-of-the-art gym. He stretches and throws his duffle bag over his shoulder*

STARR: See, this is how a champion prepares for a match., Not that you'd know, MacElroy. From what I've seen, you don't have what it takes. Lost the title shot, persistent sore loser, you wouldn't last a week. If you had just been more respectful to me, I would have given you another title shot. But now you've lost it, and you have only yourself to blame. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to train for my next challenger.
