Fade into black. A never ending abyss of darkness is all that’s seen, giving the impression there’s nothing there, but the gentle hum of a slide projector informs us otherwise. For what seems like an eternity, nothing happens. No movement, no noise, nothing apart from the constant hum of the projector. Everything seems quite serene but with that air of impending that comes with not knowing what’s going to happen or when, if at all, it’s going to happen. You know the feeling; the one that’s making you squirm a little in your seat right now.

But without warning, the darkness is chased away, banished by a click making the projector light up, presenting an image for viewing on the white wall of what we can now see is a studio in the BQWA headquarters…

But against the image of a smiling and jovial looking blonde on the wall is the silhouette of female form, complete with ringlet tendrils of hair draped either side of her face.

Allow me to introduce you to someone, Dylan.

Let’s give the palpitations of surprise a few seconds to calm down. Deep breath in and out. Repeat. Maybe check there’s no mess in your underwear. There, don’t you feel better now? Good. So now your heart has stopped trying to escape from your chest, let’s continue, shall we?

That blonde you see before you is Skye Jones. She’s held a World Title, she’s held multiple Women’s Titles, she’s about to be inducted into the BQWA Hall Of Fame.

Tiny pause. Just a little one. You know those little dramatic effect pauses.

And she was a royal pain in my backside for well over a year.

The pauses added to the effect quite well, don’t you think?

Everyone claimed she was unbeatable, regaling in tales of her winning the World Heavyweight Title back and Xtreme Title back in WCCW, defeating such names as Cobain and Kid Disturbed.

A giggle at the mention of Kid Disturbed. The sort of giggle that says “what a joke”.

That’s right, Kid Disturbed. You remember him, don’t you Dylan? He’s the piece of pond scum you brought with you to the car park last week in an attempt to scare me. Beaten by a girl half his size; doesn’t quite seem so tough now, does he?

True that, yo.

You didn’t think she’d be alone, did you? Somebody has to work the projector.

But I digress. People told me of her achievements, but then they also warned me of something else.

The silhouette of a hand comes into play, snapping its fingers and bringing about another click and whir from the projector, the darkness returning for a fleeting 2 seconds while the image in front of us changes.

See, Skye was sick, and I don’t mean in the “coughs and sneezes spread diseases” way. She was twisted, and she got in your head so she could plunge that blade deep between your shoulders. She was Beelzebub walking the earth; pure evil in human form.

And she under estimated me. We battled for the Women’s Title, we battled for stable pride, and we battled for personal pride. Granted along the way I’ve done some things that I can’t say I’m proud of, but in the end, when its come to the crunch, I’ve come out on top.

Immortals V. A 5 way match with the Women’s Championship on the line. It came down to me and Skye. She was good…

But I was better.

Camera angle change. Nothing artsy fartsy, just a clean cut from the picture to Harmony, sat with her feet up on the table, a smirk crossing her luscious pink lips.

Much better.

She pauses, uncrossing her ankles and re-crossing them. No point doing these things if you’re not comfortable.

She did everything to try and stop me. Kidnap, mind games, hell she even tried to kill me. You know the old nutshell. Lures me to a bridge, we fight, she tries to run me down with a limo, then drops me of the side of an almost certain death.

Another one of those little dramatic pauses. We’ll let that sink in for a few seconds.

But in the end, she failed. I proved my worth and dethroned a legend to become the Women’s Champion. Fast forward a year. Immortals VI. 3 stages of hell match, Harmony vs. Skye Jones. A HEADLINING match, you know, those ones they mention A LOT because they know it’ll bring in the ratings.

Another smirk.

The sort you’re not in.

Let’s give you a few seconds to get over the shocking revelation that our normally humble brunette does actually possess an ego.

A wrestling masterpiece, a hardcore brawl then total annihilation. 3rd fall, an I Quit match, the stipulation being that whoever said “I Quit” also quit the company. Once again, Skye did everything in her power leading up to that match to try and stop me. Tortured my family and tried to kill me again, but failed. Notice this word that keeps coming up: failed.

She failed in trying to kill me, and she failed in trying to keep herself from losing at Immortals VI, because we all know what happened there.

Ding dong, the witch is dead. Hearing her say “I Quit” was amazingly satisfying.

Another giggle.

She under estimated me, and it proved to be a bad move. Maybe you should go back and watch the tapes, try and work out where Skye went wrong so you don’t repeat the same mistakes.

Allow me to introduce you to someone else, Dylan. This is Laura Stone. Laura was just like you are: she had a VERY high opinion of herself, but had nothing to back it up. Wait, I do apologise, she did Playboy.

Another of those little pauses then a snort of laughter at the preposterous notion that getting your tits out for the lads means you can wrestle.

She wanted to waltz in here and thought she deserved to be in the history books with the likes of myself just because she got naked for a magazine so horny 14 year olds everywhere could get a little help putting their dick in their hand. She was a little fish in a big pond.

Once more she smirks.

MY pond.

Uh oh. There’s that ego again, rearing its ugly head.

Let’s face facts Dylan. You’re nothing more than a wannabe. You can flounce around backstage, opening your legs or getting on your knees for any one of the boys in the back and you can act like little miss bitch all you like, but until you can stand there and say “hey, I’m in the BQWA history books for being the first woman to compete in a War Games match!” or “hey, I’m in the BQWA history books for being the first woman to compete in a Last Woman Standing match!” or “hey, I’m in the BQWA history books for retiring Skye Jones!” then, and ONLY then, can you step up to the plate to take me on, because before then, you’re just not worth my time.

Amen baby girl.

Arati, however, is a different story.

She doesn’t brag about her abilities and she doesn’t threaten to do something, she just does it. She’s shy and retiring, the complete polar opposite to Dylan.

But shy and retiring will get you no where in this business.


Let’s give the dirtsheets something to talk about, shall we?

To get what you want, you have to take the bull by the horns and hold on for dear life, and while we may be friends, you have something that belongs to me, Arati. Something that I haven’t focused on for over a year because of other projects, but something that I still hunger and crave for.

The Women’s Title.

Yes, that lovely gold accessory around your waist.

Outside the ring, we can be friends all you like, but you need to understand one thing.


Here comes that camera angle change again, from the picture to Harmony’s face, this time she actually faces the camera, so you can see that passion burning in her hazel eyes.

Inside that ring, friends don’t exist.

I know, and you know deep down inside, that you’re not strong enough to carry this division, Arati, and as soon as I get chance, I’m taking my title back.

Not you, nor Dylan, nor anyone else will stop me.


Another pause and another shift, this time with our brunette twisting in her chair, taking her long legs down off the table to face her whole body to the camera.

They don’t call me the princess for nothing.

I’m the queen of this castle and I’m not abdicating my throne for anyone. Until you beat me, you’ll still just be a wannabe, still just a little fish in that big pond.

So whether it’s Dylan or Arati with the gold around their waist when opportunity comes my way, the result will be the same. And ladies, allow me to show you what you’ll see come the end of that match, when you’re laid on your back, wondering where it all went wrong.

So I’ll leave you to contemplate the same thing I told Skye.

Haven’t you heard? I’m Supergirl. You don’t wanna mess with me.


Fade.

=================

Something a little different as you can see.

Feedback please people, I want to know how I did, cos it's not very often I do a "promo"

Fucking Buried...6 feet under...wow

You simply buried Dylan in this with the whole "Look at Skye, she was my biggest rival, we hated each other more than anything, but she is still a million times better than you" Then you reveal Laura Stone with the attitude of "Look Laura was just like you, a wannabe, and look what happened to her. Look what i did to her." I fuckin love it :)

As always, talented writing, I like the visuals that were added too, and as usual, another amazing promo by you. Good shit :)

Like I said on MSN, I really loved this. The pictures reflected the words and the words reflected your feelings. And I still laughed whenever A Plus had a comment.

This was by far my favorite RP from you, EVER.

You managed to pull from the heel Harmony that I worked with years ago and use a fierce edge in a face RP. Like phenetic said, your calling Dylan out, saying "look at these women...you're noting special" was ftw.

I'm so proud :angie:

Amazing stuff. The pictures really kept me captivated and it added a certain demision to what you were saying. I like the story being built up here, and I can't wait to see more if it comes out like this.

Harms, I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said. It's just absolutely amazing the way you were able to combine all aspects of your history into the present. I can't help but give you kudos lady.

I figured I'd better leave some REAL feedback this time, and this pretty much sums it up. These type of promos are my favourite type, and this pretty much proves you can do them, so do them more. And I stand by my original comment - let me do the Plus dialogue next time :(

I must say that this promo was simply impressive. You had me hooked on every single sentence and I actually felt like I was in the room watching this entire thing unfold.

Now one thing that bugged me and for some odd reason it has always bugged. I am a jackass like that. The thing that bugged me a tag was the fact you used numbers(14) instead of the word.(fourteen) Not sure why, but that sort of threw me off a bit.

However that was a tiny bug. The entire promo is top notch. Damn woman, keep creating promos like this and maybe you will become world champion yourself. Well, just watch out for Tara.
