OOC: Special thanks to Dani Applegate for contributing her lines for this promo! The following takes place at the beginning of the show.
OOC: Dani is wearing this dress: i.pinimg.com/originals/59/21/29/592129a7294840eb4eeea0525344da9d.jpg
(Chief Rocka begins to play much to the crowd's displeasure. Allen Anderson arrives wearing his in ring gear while dragging Dani Applegate by the arm, the crowd splatters Allen with boos but the stoic look on Allen sports a look of indifference his eyes narrowing towards the ring. Dani is constantly tripping on her heels attempting to regain her balance though it was hard to do so with every powerful tug Allen made to her arm. Allen held Dani captive for about a day forcing her to watch the tape of his previous two losses at the Showdown match and his match with Bryan Worthy along with his matches at the NCAA and Japan. Allen desperately needed an outside person other than Juebi and Russo to validate him. With Dani insulting him and having the audacity to say that it wasn't refereeing incompetence though it clearly was, Allen decided that he would force Dani Applegate to become his valet and personally witness ALL of his wrestling matches. She will understand the blatant cheating that opponents use against him, she will see that some refs should be in an old folks home. Allen pushes Dani inside the middle of the ring as he lumbered past her and slumps against the turnbuckle Raven style. The camera zooms to Allen's face, it was one of indifference and rage. Allen calls for a mic and the technician tosses it to him.)
Allen: There is a story of a little boy from Harlem New York, he is a descendant of a family of great wrestlers all of whom were enshrined in the New York Wrestling Hall of Fame! His Great-Grandpa started the first-ever African American wrestling company in New York! He endured death threats and a beat down by white supremacists but he endured and he received the key to the city by New York Officials in 1970. That little boy watched a recording of him wrestling and he was inspired to be good! No better than him! That boy worked his ass off day in and day out learning how to build a wrestling ring, knowing how to take a bump! He started when he was 8 years old! There was no summer vacation, there was no playing with friends in the harsh winters at Harlem he was at a Gym who's heater was broken doing suicides! Learning moves! Working hard to get where he is!
(The crowd boos loudly.)
Dani asks Jessica Kaine for a mic. Jessica obliges, handing it over. Dani looks at Allen for a moment before putting her hand on her forehead, letting out a sigh afterwards. She finally puts the mic near her lips.
Dani: Allen, what is this supposed to prove? That you had a dream? That you had passion? That's well and good, but so do 90% of professional wrestlers. That's what makes this a career. I was the same way, just for wrestling journalism, instead of in ring action. I understand trying to get the people to sympathize, but if you don't change your attitude, your actions, and your thought processing, your just going to get the response the crowd is currently giving you.
(Allen looks up at Dani incredulously as he shakes his head. He leans back against the turnbuckles relaxing.)
Allen: What I'm trying to these people especially you to see! Was that all my hard work! All the sacrifice I put into perfecting my craft since I was a child lead me to this place!
(Allen gets up and climbs on to the top turnbuckle twirling the mic between his fingers. The crowd began to chant: "You suck!" repeatedly at Allen though his expression was stoic. Allen closes his eyes embracing the hatred of the crowd before raising the mic to his mouth.)
Allen: And I endured and continue to endure the endless amount of bullshit thrown my way! From the terrible reffing to losing to scrubs who cheated to win! Instead of you and these people taking my side! You all mock me! Make a meme out of me! You all say that I'm bitch made! Yet last week at the main event I showed the world why I'm considered the top propect in professional wrestling! Jaice Wilds talking all that thrash saying that I "fucked up" and I need to "prepare thy anus!" So tell Dani! You saw me wreck Wilds' ass at the main event! You saw taking Smith Jones to task! You saw me standing on equal footing with Matsuda Jeubi! You saw what happens when I get a FAIR match! I dominate and expose scrubs like Smith Jones and Jaice Wilds! I made statement after statement and I'm going to make more! And you will be watching me closely
Dani: What I saw was an improvement, yes. But you're so stuck in the past that it could take away from your future, Allen. Did the referees make a mistake? Possibly. But their decision is final. Now is the time to bounce back, and that started last week. Attacking Jaice, forcing me to be your valet, that won't bounce you back. Becoming a better professional wrestler and winning big matches... that's what truly matters. You can make as many statements as you like, but until you back it up, people will continue to view you the same way they do now. Be glad Masuda helped you win that match. Be glad that he brought you to his Corp. If anything, he's the reason you're in as good a position as you are.
(Allen smirked at Dani as he stared at the booing crowd.)
Allen: Juebi helped me that is true! But I've made my mark in that main event match! You and I watched the tape this morning Dani! You even admitted that I did well in the main event! What I did to Jaice and what I'm doing to you is just me doing what all of the men and women in Professional Wrestling did to get over! To become legends! Look at Hulk Hogan when he formed the NWO with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall! What Hogan did changed wrestling forever! And what he did to achieve power and respect! It's no different from what I'm doing right now! Jaice Wilds needed to be taught a lesson! I needed someone to understand my greatness and the bullshit I endure up close and personal!
(The crowd boos heavily. Allen sighed and shakes his head.)
Allen: The referees need to be put in their place! So that's why I made sure to have my manager: Vince Russo put the powers that be to task for their incompetence!
(Chants of "fire Russo" begins.)
Allen: Russo, Masuda they understand my pain! They understand the disrepect i've received in my short stint with APW! I've backed up my statements with action! I've dominated the main event! And what do I get in return from Irvina?! A FUCKING LOW CARD MATCH!
Dani puts her head down and pinches the bridge of her nose. She sighs again, before holding the mic back up.
Dani: Card slots aren't concrete, Allen. People go from opening the show to main eventing and back all the time. It isn't an insult to you. You can't be in the main event every week. The fans will turn on you. Isn't that right, everyone?
She turns and looks at the fans, who cheer in response to her question.
Dani: I want you, not to just grow as a competitor, but as a person, Allen. You have a very naïve outlook right now. You make decent points, but there's always other points that I just can't agree with. Do you really think people became main eventers because they kidnapped someone? Do you think beating down match winners did that? No. You want to know what turns a wrestler into a legend? Backing up your statements. Winning matches that turn into classics. All you're doing right now is throwing a temper tantrum, and that won't get you anywhere.
(Allen looked at the cheering crowd and shakes his head. Dropping down from the top turnbuckle. Dani did have a point though, Allen couldn’t be in the mainevent all of the time but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be in the bottom.)
Allen: but that doesn’t mean I should be in the undercard! I’ve worked my ass in that match! I’ve pulled my weight! I should be the one facing Smith Jones in the main event instead of some unknown bitch who disappeared off APW for weeks. I should be the one who beats the shit out of Smith Jones for his mockery of pinning me cheaply at Showdown! Guys Smith Jones shouldn’t get a title shot! Especially when they resort to underhanded tactics like pulling someone’s tights for a fucking win! I should be headlining the main event tonight! People want to see Allen Anderson vs Smith Jones not this unknown motherfucker known as Jonny Blaze!
(The crowd boos.)
Allen: Yeah! Great booking Irvina! Robbing the people what they want! Jonnyblaze is some Ghost Rider wannabe who’s not on my level! Why should I be obligated to wrestle him! I won my first match in a main event no less. Let Jonny Blaze wrestle a jobber like i don’t know: Jaice Wilds!
Dani facepalms, and brushes her hair with her hand.
Dani: It's like talking to a brick wall.
She hands the mic back over to Jessica and slumps her way to Allen's corner.
(Allen laughs at Dani slumping against the turnbuckle before facing the crowd.)
Allen: Jonnyblaze! The alleged son of Knight Rider! Fucking Knight Rider! Yo Blazey boy! You that knight rider don’t exist right?! Are you mentally ill or some shit man?! Were you brainbustered on the concrete floor when you were a baby? Or better yet! Did you conjure David Hasselhoff up when you were suffering from PTSD during your service?!
(The crowd boos even louder especially some of the veterans in the front who were particularly offended by Allens statement.)
Allen: why you all booing?! I’m not being offensive or any of that shit! I love my veterans as much you do! But it’s pretty much fact that soldiers who experience battle tend to not be right in the head. And that’s okay! It just means that Blazey boy needs to get the proper help! I mean having him believe that he’s the son of Knight Rider isn’t very healthy you know! It makes him look delusional and helpless. Blazer boy belongs in a loony bin rather than a wrestling ring! I do feel a smudge of sympathy for Jonny Blaze really I do! But the fact of the matter is that not only he needs to see a psychiatrist but Blaze is a scrub ass jobber who needs to be facing the likes of Jaice Wilds than the future main eventer in Allen Anderson!
(The crowd boos.)
Allen: Hey I’m speaking truth, I deserve to beat Smith Jones’ ass in that main event. Instead Irvina in all her infinite wisdom decided to book me in the worst way possible! I’m sorry but Blaze is equivalent to the Bootyman in WCW! Me who is the Goldberg of this company deserves better! On the topic of WCW it failed because it didn’t push their young talent. Now APW is doing the same thing with crazy ass hole Jonny Blaze whom I’m surprised is still considered functional for our society! Okay fine! I’ll take the match, I’ll beat the hell out of Jonnyblaze and Dani: my valet will be my witness!
(Allen points to Dani who is slumping in Allen’s corner. She looks at him with concern and disappointment.)
Allen: Dani you should consider yourself lucky that I’ve chosen you as the person to see all matches upfront! You were blind at Talk Metal but you saw greatness in action last week and you’ll see it again tonight! Dani I just want you to know I don’t hate you! But I hate the fact that you dont see the bullshit of what’s going on in APW. Despite you saying that you have a passion for wrestling journalism! That’s not objective! That’s just being a company shill for APW! They need someone like me to carry them to the top and I’ve saddled with bullshit and you are in denial! But now you’ll see what I’m made of and you’ll see how blind the refs are! I am the man the myth and the legend and I will be the future of APW!
(Chief Rocka plays while Allen grabs Dani by the wrist and drags her backstage. Dani gives Allen a death glare but otherwise tried not to trip on her heels while being dragged out of the ring.)
