Best promo you ever write for a worker

[dexi21]

<p>I have a group called "Vanity" made up of Taeler Hendrix, Khloe Love (Barbi Hayden) and Kasey Valentine (Chelsea Diamond). They are the resident mean girls of my promotion and are obviously more obsessed with their own "Vanity" then the other girls are with their in ring work. </p><p> </p><p>

Taeler has taken offense to Reby Hardy getting the red carpet rolled out for her during the launch of AKW. the verbiage went something like this. </p><p> </p><p>

"Reby you parade around the locker room as if you are someone special. Let's be honest honey, if it weren't for your stupid "Broken" husband and drug addict brother in law falling off of ladders, no one would even know who you are. Unlike you, I have had to claw and scratch my way to get a spot on the roster. You on the other hand have been catered to because you are a Hardy. You are so desperate to be in the spotlight that you risked your sons safety and allowed him to enter a ring. And being a Hardy dont be surprised to see your ugly Hardy spawn grows up to be an overrated spot monkey like the rest of your diluted family. The only thing that is going to be "Broken" is your false status as a goddess to these disgusting mouth breathing fans".</p><p> </p><p>

later in the night Reby ends up brawling with her in the arena and leads to a parking lot fight. Eventually Xia Brookside and Rosalina Storm (Renee Michelle) join her to even the odds.</p><p> </p><p>

I had a few more one liners in there but i have forgotten them. at the next PPV i have Vanity against Reby/Xia/Rosalina with the winning fall going on to challenge for the Women's Championship (as a way to move Rosalina into a singles feud with my champ)</p><p> </p><p>

It will lead to a Reby vs. Taeler ladder match with the loser unable to challenge for the women's title for 1 year and the winner becoming #1 contender.</p>

I never write any promos. I just run an angle with the people involved, and name the angle something like "Wrestler X is in the ring cutting a promo, when Wrestler Y interrupts him / attacks him". Done.

The implosion of The House of Three (Crash Lewis, Mad Dog Mortimer and Langston Lyons aka Lion Heart). Air Attack Weasel, Animal Harker and Willow playing The Ex Games. The tag team breakup of The Firmament (Haruhiro Tsumemasa and Sozen Ishinomori). Great moments that sadly only happened in my mind.</p>

<p>The saxophone riff of "Turn The Page" by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band cut Harvey off as Jack Griffith came out to the jeers of the crowd, wearing jeans and a button-up shirt, crossing over to the Social Club set and taking a seat.</p><p> </p><p>

Capone: Settle down ya mooks! I invited Jack here in the Social Club, as the newest signing to Generation Omega.. because while he's not as young as most of the talent here, he's still got a lot to contribute to this industry... GOCW is all about opportunities, and no matter what you may think of him, he deserves an opportunity, both to compete in this ring... and to explain his actions last month. So I want you all to shut ya mouths... and listen to what this man has to say.</p><p> </p><p>

The crowd boos more, Griffith just shaking his head and he takes the mic.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: No respect. But that's fine, I don't want your respect and I damn sure don't need it. Let me take you all back to 2000. Southern Class Championship Wrestling, I was the blue chipper, the rookie sensation, the kid that everyone pegged as the future of the industry. Talented, athletic, had a bit of Southern charm to him... remind you of anyone?</p><p> </p><p>

The crowd chants for KC Glenn, Griffith just smirks.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: He's not here, you know. He can't hear you from the hospital I put him in, and I would do it again. Now, as I was saying, I was the talk of the indy circuit, but all that pressure, all that focus on you, with everyone examining every goddamn move you make... it took a lot out of me. And from being a kid who grew up wanting to headline SWF's Supreme Challenge, seeing how wrestlers really are... nothing but a bunch of self-serving backstabbers... and the promoters... the promoters were worse.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith stands up now, sitting on the table itself.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: So one night, after being cheated by another promoter out of the money he promised me for appearing in his small-rent promotion that like three people paid for... one of the few friends I had in the industry, who will remain nameless, offered me a beer. And for that moment, all my troubles went away. So I had another beer. And another. Just one year later, and now it's not helping me any more, it's an addiction, an addiction that was killing me. And by the time I realized it, I didn't care, I wanted it to kill me because I was so goddamn miserable. It took me until 2004, I collapsed in the ring from drinking too much, that I was finally convinced to get some help. I spent a year in rehab, and that's when I had a moment of clarity... it wasn't alcohol that was the problem... it was wrestling. Wrestling was what drove me to the bottle, and wrestling was what was killing me. So I made a promise never to wrestle again.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: "But Jack," some of you are probably thinking, "You're still wrestling, what changed". Nothing changed. You see, I just couldn't stop myself. Wrestling was the only life I knew. It's all I ever wanted to do since I was a kid, I didn't even bother going to college because I committed my entire adolescence to getting ready to be a pro. The reason I'm wrestling is because I'm a junkie who can't get clean. This industry is going to kill me, and I can't do a damn thing about it.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: Now what does that have to do with what I did with KC Glenn? Everything. As I said before, KC Glenn is a lot like a younger version of me, but more importantly, I look at him and I see a version of me who still has his innocence with him. "He can be saved", I think to myself. "I can get him out of this goddamn corrupt industry so he can do something fulfilling with his life". KC, if you ever see this on DVD, and I know you probably will... I broke your body to save your soul.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith then gets off the table and drops to his knees, hands clasped around the microphone.</p><p> </p><p>

Griffith: Please, KC. Please don't come back to wrestling. Or I will not be held responsible for what I have to do... for your... own... good.</p><p> </p><p>

The crowd is looking at Griffith in disgusted silence, and Alison has nothing to say either. Even Harvey is at a loss for words as Griffith saunters to the back, and Harvey waits until his cue to speak again.</p>

<p>Eric Eisen stands before a hostile Chicago crowd...</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">"Well here we are in Chicago, where the men are men... and so are the women.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

I stand here in front of you people not as an Eisen, not as a product of my father or the SWF but simply as a... God! A wrestling God!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

I've been in this company for 19 years and for every one of those years you pathetic, miserable losers have treated me like shit and I never deserved it. You hated me because it was fashionable to hate me, but now... now I'm gonna give you a reason to hate me.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

You come and you express your joy for guys like Valiant... for Gilmore... for Jack Bruce.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

"Oh, yes, Jack is here. My hero is here. He's such a rockstar... woo! I love you, Jack" You know what Jack Bruce is? A Jack-off</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

You people are a plague on this business... You hate me but I hate you more and I see you all as the one thing people hate above all else...I see you as a cancer.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

A cancer on this company and a cancer on my life... but I stand here in front of you with the cure to the cancer.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

Me! I am the cure. It takes a special kind of resilience to not give a shit about you people... to beat cancer... but I have that power. You're nothing to me. Always have been and always will be.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

See, I stand here looking like any regular man to you people but I feel nothing. No emotions except confidence, disgust and hatred. I started speaking a few minutes ago and called myself a Wrestling God.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Wrestling God'... that's the catchphrase you detestable maggots need to take away from this. I am a wrestling God. A Wrestling God who is above all of you and above everyone else in this business... and now I'm going to prove it..."</span></span></p><p> </p><p>

This then begins an arrogant heel run for Eric Eisen where he extends open challenges to all comers and becomes the biggest heel in the company. Sort of Jericho-esque 2009 in his use of words and phrases.</p><p> </p><p>

The promo itself does feel a bit clunky in places but when I first wrote it all out it felt excellent... and still does to me.</p>

[Sharkn20]

Terrific promos guys, awesome job so far.

[born_naughty]

<p>This is a recent promo I'm most proud of:</p><p> </p><p>

Shat Williams stands in the ring and calls out raylen bonnard. </p><p> </p><p>

Shat: Let me tell you a story. About 9 years ago I founded this company. There weren't any big names back then and there wasn't a lot of budget. So I managed everything and carried this company in every way possible. After a while guys like Raj Singh, Krymson and Nick Van Aelst all came in and were gunning for me. But I stood my ground for a while. Then young guys like Flasher Thomas and Rochefort came and I gotta be honest, it was too much. I couldn't manage this company and fend off all comers st the same time anymore. </p><p>

So my career went downward. Yes, I'm not afraid to admit it, I got fat and my in ring performance suffered. </p><p>

That's why I decided to take it easier and hand most of my management duties to Maria Kanellis and later Austin Aries. And it worked. I got back on that horse and things started looking up. </p><p>

Until Aries decided to screw me and my company. He had the audacity to book himself in title matches push himself as the face of the company. Then he got older and gave that role to that mountain if a man Rochefort for crying out loud. He signed all kinds of deals. Young guys like you kept pouring in and it cost us millions! </p><p>

He never asked my advice or my approval. And tell me Raylen, how many times did you come up to me and thank me for the opportunity? Tell the fans! Shut up! I'll tell them, this is the first time we talked face to face isn't it?! That's how you showed respect for the ones that came before you. And now you have the audacity to challenge me for the title?! You've got some nerve kid. </p><p>

I should fire you right now. But I can't do that can I? You have your contract and I can't change that. </p><p>

So I'll tell you what I can do. I'm gonna give you what you want. (Williams smirks). I'm gonna give you your title shot. I'm gonna give you the spotlight, I'll even give you the main event spot at the next pay per view. You get everything you wanted, kid! But be careful what you wish for. It's gonna last about 10 minutes because this Sunday, I'll make sure it's the last time you ever work in this business again. You better start practicing flipping burgers. </p><p> </p><p>

Bonnard want to respond but his microphone doesn't work. </p><p> </p><p>

Williams laughs: remember, this company is called the Shat Williams Coorporation, and thus show was called Shat Williams presents, before Austin Aries changed it in what will be his very last executive decision. </p><p>

That meant I run things! That means I decide who gets signed, I decide who fights who, I decide who get's the title shots, I decide who gets "pushed", I decide who gets promo time, I decide who gets the entrances and I decide who gets the mic! I'll tell you what, I'll make this easy for you: you want to talk? You want to talk to your precious fans? You want to tell them how you've worked hard to get here, how you're not gonna let them down, how you love each and everyone of these fans, right here in this city? I'll make it easy for you: I have the only working microphone in my hand. All you have to do to get to talk is take if from me. I'll make it even easier: here you go (Williams hands the microphone towards Bonnard and tells him to take it). Go ahead, take it!</p><p> </p><p>

Instead of going for the microphone though, Raylen Bonnard starts hammering away at Shat Williams and a fight breaks out. Williams gets thrown out of the ring and he's absolutely furious. He want to run back in the ring but backs of when he sees Bonnard is ready for him. Absolutely livid, he backs off towards the entrance ramp. When he's on his way out of the arena, Raylen Bonnard picks up the mic and says "I'll see you Sunday!".</p>

<p>This is one I was going to use in my Attitude era diary before my computer died and i had to drop it. At some point, I want to try another diary, and this storyline will make it in there.</p><p> </p><p>

The closing minutes of the final Raw before a PPV set to take place in Philadelphia.Vince, JR, and The King are doing the final hype for the PPV when ECW's TV theme begins to play. Paul Heyman walks out of the back to a deafening "E-C-Dub" chant from the hometown crowd.</p><p> </p><p>

"It sounds like everyone here knows who I am, but for the benefit of those at home, I am Paul Heyman, and I am the so-called "mad scientist" behind Extreme Championship Wrestling. When I heard that the WWF was planning an In Your House Pay-Per-View in MY house, I waited for my invitation. But, since it seems that they forgot to send me one, I decided to invite myself. Now I have a few things to say to you," he points to Vince at the announce table,"but not to Vince McMahon, dedicated member of the Raw announce team. No, I want to speak to Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation, the man whose ruthless, and borderline unethical, business tactics made the WWF the undisputed leader in Professional Wrestling for years."</p><p> </p><p>

Vince looks put out by being called out on live television, but he gets up and strides into the ring, with hints of the world famous McMahon power walk showing themselves for the first time. "What can I do for you Mr. Heyman?"</p><p> </p><p>

"Well, Vince, can I call you Vince?" A glare from McMahon answers Heyman's question. "Ok, Mr. McMahon. Your fans may not know this, but we've been business associates for some time now." When Vince starts to shake his head, Paul pulls a check out of the breast pocket of his sport coat and holds it up for the camera. "Now, Mr. McMahon, there's no need to pretend you don't know me. When you came to me, you described a mutually beneficial business arrangement. You send me a check every month, to help me with certain... financial difficulties that the dirt sheets have been more than happy to discuss. In exchange, I would make myself available when you wanted to consult with a "mad scientist", and my locker room would be available when you needed fresh faces for Raw. You would have experienced talent when you needed it, and my boys would get valuable exposure. Everybody wins, you said. But instead, you only use the less experienced wrestlers in my organization, and feed them to your top guys. The only thing that does is make my boys look second-rate. Well, no more!"</p><p> </p><p>

He holds the check up with both hands as if to rip it up, while the fans begin chanting "Rip it up". Vince smirks. "Very impressive speech, Paul. Is this where you tear up my check and spit in my face?"</p><p> </p><p>

Heyman looks around at the audience, then smiles and folds the check up and tucks it back in his jacket. "No, I think I'll keep the money. But I think it's time the WWF learned what it means to get Extreme. This Sunday, two of ECW's top men will be standing in this ring, and they'll be waiting for you to send a tag team out to meet them. And when you do, my boys will do what they do best. They're going to kick. Your. Ass!" Vince is starting to look ticked off as Heyman enunciates each word in Vince's face. "But I will take you up on the offer to spit in your face!"</p><p> </p><p>

Heyman rears back like he's about to, when McMahon hauls off and knocks him on his ass. A dazed Heyman tries to stagger to his feet as the owner of the WWF takes off his jacket in preparation for a fight, rolling up his shirt sleeves to reveal the fact that Vince spends plenty of time in the gym. He grabs Heyman by the collar, but his attack is interrupted when someone in the audience hops the barricade and slides into the ring behind McMahon. The intruder shrugs off his hoodie to reveal ECW's Taz, and he locks Mr. McMahon in the Tazmission.</p><p> </p><p>

Heyman collects himself, and crouches down, looking Vince right in the eyes. "This Sunday will be In MY House, and whoever you find had better be ready to fight. Because now you're in the Land of the Extreme, and there are no limits here!"</p>

[LordofGustav]

<p>I was planning to do this in a WWF 92 diary...</p><p> </p><p>

A pre-recorded promo shows Ludvig Borga on street clothing walking near an alley in dowtown Chicago.</p><p> </p><p>

"When Ludvig Borga comes to Wrestlemania 9, which it will take in the Aloha Stadium, in Honolulu, Hawaii.... I'll demostrate that i am the superior atlete and no puny American will defeat me ever. Not even you, Hulk Hogan. Take a look a this. *takes a syringe* Youngsters feeding themselves with harmful substances, mind pollution, a voyage to self-destruction and no point of return. *drops syringe and stomps on it* ¿This is what you stand for, Hulk Hogan?¿Is this what Hulkamania represents? I hope you're ready to give me those answers to those questions, because everything that you stand for will help you at nothing, not even those what you call your Little Hulksters, they'll witness the Death of Hulkamania at the hands of the Hellraiser of Helsinki, the blue and white will reign over the red and yellow, and when that happens, don't be surprised if one of your Hulkamaniacs end up, like this! *shows a bum sleeping on the ground*</p><p> </p><p>

The camera pans at the bum as it makes a transition for the next match.</p>
