Promo
FADE IN: No bells, no whistles, no fancy set. Just the Phenom of NEW... Shawn Jessica Hart. With grit and determination in his eyes, he takes a deep breath and begins to speak directly into the camera.
HART: "Jonathan Marx, from what I can discern of your last promotional offering... history is something that's important to you. I don't think you would've let your old man yammer on like that about my mistress if it wasn't. Speaking of which, I'm not sure if the math figures out quite right, but maybe you and I should think about taking some DNA tests. I mean you DO look alot like my assh(FCC)le, so mebbe there's some kind of family resemblance there, eh? At any rate, I digress... the point I'm trying to make is that HISTORY is something we both value. As fate would have it, it's also something we have together... be it in our past matches or in the fact that you upset me in the playoffs of our fantasy football league, not that that really counts for anything. Honestly, who could've predicted that Drew Brees would have his one sucky week of the year when I was facing your Huxley Halfbacks team?! Hell, if you hadn't lucked out in the draft and landed LT, lord knows how your fantasy season would've turned out, but AGAIN... I digress. The matter at hand here is our budding rivalry: where it's been, where it is, and where it's going."
Hart begins to pace around the dark room.
HART: "A couple years ago in NFW, I cleaned your clock like Mr. Timex himself. I took your little hand - broke it in two, snagged your big hand - shoved it up your wazoo.... HELL, don't even get me started on your snooze button! ...Fast-forward TiVo-style to a couple WEEKS ago, it was I who fell prey to your Marxist ways in UCW. Again, I'm not a professor of analytical calculus... if there even is such a thing, but I think that victory evened the score for ya. 1 and 1, a split decision, with nary a hope of distinguishing just who among us is the men amongst boys in the industry.... until NOW!! Cuz in case you didn't notice, Shawn Jessica Hart, PhD., the newest sensation to hit our great nation, makin' girlies feel the Phenomulation, the PRIME MINISTER of GETTIN' SINISTER, first I spread mum's legs and then I FINISHED HER, aaaaaaaand so on and so forth, went into BattleBrawl with one goal, ONE PURPOSE: to win the damn thing and put that NEW heavyweight strap around my sweet, sensual belly. Needless to say, after going through like 8,000 other guys and wrestling for 5 and a half hours.... with a broken neck..... and a low sperm count..... I emerged VICTORIOUS - the numbah one contendah to yer belt, baby! Call it an outrage, call it a mockery, I call it the TRUTH!!"
He strikes a Michael Jackson pose, then pauses for a moment to reflect on his accomplishment.
HART: "...And after the contracts are signed this week, and the big match is booked, you can bet your bottom dollar that S-J-H is gonna pull out all the stops to pick up that 1-2-3. The limelight has eluded me for FAR too long. I mean, it's been 5 LONG YEARS since the Muff Daddy's been world heavyweight champion and now, with all the industry's eyes lookin' me square in the mug, and aaaaaall the stones falling into place, I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna pull a Jean Rabesque and let it go to waste! Now's the time, nnnnndaddio... the time for a NEW champ in NEW Era!!! You wanna talk about history? When I'm through with you, that's exactly what you'll be, brah. A side-bar to a footnote in the preface to the story of my title reign. I'M the MARY and YOU'RE the Rhoda! YOU'RE a set of sixes and I'M the ROYAL FLUSH, flushin' your fat ass right down the tubes with your career. They say we're signing a match contract, but when ya get right down to it... you're signing away your life, Princeton. Song parodies and shenanigans aside... I'm gonna HURT you. BAD. So bring your A-game... I'm BEGGIN' ya. That way at least I can get off on self-defense."
Suddenly a lawyer interjects, whispering some kind of legal advice into Hart's ear. The Phenom seems bewildered by whatever it is he's being told.
HART: "Uhhh, right.... well, apparently in-ring murder is a bit of a gray area when it comes to self-defense slayings, so how's about I just bust your face, break your limbs, and smash your balls? You don't seem to be putting any of 'em to good use anyway, so isn't it better just to put them outta commission? Cereally, if you could just rid yourself of this wretched wrestling career, you could finally put that Ivy League education to good use! Then again, the job market has never been too forgiving for 20th Century Feminist Literature majors, so mebbe you should stick to being my whipping boy. You'd be surprised at the kind of living you can make getting your ass kicked every night. Just ask the Washington Generals. But let us dispense with the verbal barbs for now. Just remember, at Raucous, you've got a date with destiny, my friend. MY destiny. The PHENOM, nay... the NEXT and newest champion of all EARTH... has left... the BUILDING!!!
