And it begins again... The Wright/Detson match will be opening the show... Hey! Who wants a sneak preview? Who's gonna go to the Finals?! YOU MAKE THE CALL...andi'llignoreitandpickwhoithoughtwon! --- [We cut to the backstage area where Johnny Detson stands alone looking straight at the camera, a determined, angry look on his face. Detson is wearing his long gold tights with black boots with a gray zipped up hoodie. Calmly, methodically... he begins to speak.) Detson: You have a problem Supreme. You seem to think I care about what you think of me or your opinion in general. [Detson shakes his head, raising his eyebrows almost as if he were surprised.] Detson: I don't. [Detson turns, looking somewhere off camera as he continues.] Detson: So believe what you want to believe about me… people around here don't seem to think of you as a foolish person so I know you won't be underestimating me. Because you know who I am and you know what I can do. And being someone who is not foolish you wouldn't want to squander another one of those opportunities again, would you? Last month you came out… put on your little show… had those security folks out there to protect me… [Detson pauses and turns to the camera.] Detson: Thank you by the way, I've never felt so secure. [With a wink and a grin, Detson continues.] Detson: But you came out here talking maybe in this exact same spot about some pampered, pompous brat, and to be quite honest with you, it took me a moment to realize you weren't talking about yourself. [Detson frowns.] Detson: Opportunity. That's all it's about for you. You wouldn't even be here if they didn't give you an opportunity at what you think you deserve. You let the AWA train you and then you bolt for Vegas. Title in hand. You bolt Vegas for Phoenix and get touted a star. You come back to Dallas when the _opportunity_ for the World Title presents itself to you. [Detson stops and points at himself quizzically.] Detson: But I'm the one who's disrespecting professional wrestling? [Detson shakes his head.] Detson: You see Supreme, you don't get to make those decisions and quite frankly your cup of coffee World Champion of a trainer doesn't either. Rick Marley feels like he's earned the ONE opportunity that you now have had TWO opportunities to achieve in a short amount of time, and that's on him. Just like when you eliminated yourself from the Rumble last year… giving away yet another shot at your "I'd never disrespect the" AWA World Title and turning everything into a "damn farce". [Detson says the last one in a severely mocking Supreme Wright's own words tone, tapping his forehead repeatedly.] Detson: Those reasons are yours, but let's not forget what has happened before you cast dispersions on others. Especially from someone as delusional and spoiled as you seem to be. Me? [Detson again points at himself this time with a much more serious tone and look.] Detson: I fought to be here. For fifteen years I struggled and clawed my way to get to this spot; to get to this moment. Were there some shortcuts taken? You're damn straight. The road was long, and opportunity wasn't handed out nearly as often as it seems to be to you. [The bitterness, the resentment drips through as Detson continues.] Detson: You're good Supreme, but you're not entitled. You've come an eyelash from the AWA World Title but that doesn't mean I'm going to let some kid tell me what I do and don't deserve. You may have earned a lot in this business, but you will never have earned that! [Detson almost sneers with disgust.] Detson: So I've been sitting here for the past month listening to people pass judgment on me on what is and isn't acceptable in this business. Todd Michaelson comes out here and talks about his lineage and about how, in his mind, how anyone who was anyone in this sport came out of Los Angeles, and you know what? [Detson takes a hard concentrated deep breath, slowly exhaling.] Detson: That's fine by me. You know why? It's because history… it's written by the winners and I… I've been a part of quite a few losers in my time. That longing when he waxes poetic about those names. That kid, that's greatness. And I don't ever need Todd's approval, but I will take his acknowledgement. Greatness. That's what I want, that's what I have to be. [Detson looks down.] Detson: When I got here, I said I had nowhere else to go. Because to do what I want to do, this is where I need to be! This is my last run to prove to each and every one of you I belong with all those names. [Detson looks back up.] Detson: You? (laughs) Well, by the time it's all said and done, Supreme Wright is going to write a few chapters in the history book. But tonight? This night? This moment? This tournament? This chapter? That… [Detson pauses and looks down at his hands as he balls them into fists. With a new determined look on his face, Detson looks at the camera.] Detson: That chapter's getting written by me! [And with that Detson storms off camera and we fade... The words "Earlier Today" flash across the bottom of the screen as we fade into a shot of Jason Dane, standing by with Supreme Wright in the backstage area in front of an AWA banner. Supreme is dressed in a 3-piece, Scottish-style silver tartan tweed suit, solid red necktie, and a pair of black framed glasses. He has his head held high and his hands in his pockets, as Jason Dane begins to speak.] JD: Tonight, we will declare a winner in "The Chase for the Clash" and determine who will face AWA World Heavyweight champion, Calisto Dufresne on Thanksgiving night at the biggest event of the year, SuperClash V! I have with me now, one of the four men who will be competing for that title shot tonight, Supreme Wright! Supreme, you've made no secret of your anger towards your opponent, Johnny Detson and the highly controversial way he secured his spot in tonight's semi-finals. What are your thoughts going into the match? [Supreme drops his head and stares down towards the ground, almost as if he wants to sigh, before responding.] SW: I'm supposed to be mad. I'm supposed to be angry. I'm supposed to be a caged beast ready to be unleashed on the world, grabbing hold and BREAKING the arm that dared sully the good name of professional wrestling. [He shakes his head.] SW: But it's not anger or rage that I'm feeling towards Mr. Detson anymore, Mr. Dane. Whenever I think about what Mr. Detson did, it doesn't make my blood boil and it doesn't make me burn with rage. No, what I'm feeling towards Mr. Detson leaves me feeling cold and numb. It's the empty, dead feeling... ...of disappointment. [Dane frowns with confusion.] JD: Why would you feel disappointed? SW: Because I can't possibly believe that a man I hold in such high esteem... [Supreme raises his hand above his head...] SW: ...could ever sink that low. [...before dropping it to his side.] JD: You hold Johnny Detson... in high regard? SW: Absolutely. [Dane stares at Supreme with skepticism. A look that doesn't go unnoticed by the Number One Contender.] SW: Mr. Dane, you weren't there to see it in Phoenix, but *I* saw it. I was there to witness Johnny Detson's greatest triumph. I watched a man that was dismissed, disregarded and discounted for his entire career, rise to the occasion time and time again to TAKE what he knew was rightfully his. I watched that man scratch and claw and struggle every step of the way... ...to become a World Champion. [The last two words are spoken slowly and with emphasis as Supreme stares eye-to-eye with Dane.] SW: That was effort and determination I could respect. That was a man worthy of admiration. [A beat.] SW: That's the man I expect to face tonight. [Supreme breaks his gaze and turns away, a look of slight annoyance forming on his face.] SW: But to compare what I've seen and know about Mr. Detson, to what we ALL saw him do with Rick Marley in the first round? [He sighs and shakes his head sadly.] SW: My disappointment isn't because Johnny Detson disrespected professional wrestling, Mr. Dane. It's because he disrespected himself. [Staring straight into the camera now, Supreme speaks directly at one person... his opponent.] SW: Before that disgraceful display, I knew Johnny Detson as a wrestler capable of standing toe-to-toe with anyone in the world. I thought of Johnny Detson as one of the most dangerous and ferocious competitors anyone could ever step into the ring against. [He leans in slightly closer with a whisper.] SW: I still do. [He then backs away, the expression on his face now growing grim and cold.] SW: Because that trash...that garbage...that crap that you and Mr. Marley were slinging around inside MY ring doesn't change a damn thing. The want. The need. The DESPERATION to be a champion...you remember exactly what it feels like don't you, Mr. Detson? That's something that never leaves you. Before The Unholy Alliance and Percy Childes...before stupid, ignorant headlocks and Rick Marley...that was all you had. That was all you needed. And I know damn well, it's still there. [Supreme's eyes cast downward for a split-second as he gathers his thoughts, before he quickly looks back up at the camera.] SW: In order to be a man worthy of holding the AWA World title, that's the man I need to face. That's the man I need to conquer. That's the man I NEED to defeat inside MY ring. [He quickly shakes his head.] SW: No...that's the man I WILL face and WILL conquer. [The edge in his voice is tense. Tinged with nervous energy. Almost frantic.] SW: Because there isn't a man in this world, that desperately wants to hold the World Title more than I do, Mr. Detson. And you understand perfectly well, just how far a desperate man is willing to go, in order to be the World Champion. [Supreme clenches and unclenches his fists, looking uncomfortable. Tense.] SW: But still... [He speaks with a slight restraint in his voice...as if he's trying to control an outpouring of emotions.] SW: Still, it doesn't change the fact you stepped into MY ring and spit on everything I stand for, Mr. Detson. [Supreme squeezes his eyes shut.] SW: You owe everyone an apology. [He opens his eyes, visibly relaxing now.] SW: Now, I know a man as prideful as you hates to admit when he's been wrong. I realize that you might just find it a little difficult to apologize. But it's just two little words you need to say to make everything right, Mr. Detson. And inside MY ring, I'll gonna' make damn sure, everyone will hear those words loud and clear. [Jason Dane frowns.] JD: Supreme, I really don't think you're ever going to hear Johnny Detson say, "I'm sorry." [And for the first time during this promo, Supreme allows himself a smile.] SW: You got it all wrong, Mr. Dane. I don't want and I don't expect Mr. Detson to say, "I'm sorry." After all, his apology will be just as sincere, when I FORCE him to say... [And just as quickly, the smile vanishes. Drowned in a ferocious mask of raw intensity.] SW: ..."I quit." [And with that, Supreme nods at Jason Dane and walks off.] |

Dug both promos, but I'd say Wright edges out as the winner based on those alone. |

Prediction: this gets played over the loudspeaker, and Wright loses by submission. |

Yeah, Detson will instead splice into the live feed of a taped shot of a hand tapping while also somehow blocking the ring from the live audience's view. That's innovation! |

If a wholly Great One rules, the people hardly know that he exists. Lesser men are loved and praised, still lesser ones are feared, still lesser ones are despised. How thoughtful one must be in what one says! The work done, business takes its course, and all people think: "We are free." - Lao Tzu "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson | |

Yep. I like RPing them, and I do have my favorites. If I weren't co-running the Rave, I'd be running Dichotomy as PCs. But Manny's not one of mine, so I was only being half egotistical! |

I've gotten kind of bored with them. Maybe something can happen in the flippity floppity floo that erases them from existence? |
