Uncensored Promo Thread

[Jim Houston]

Jim Houston stands in front of his office door.

"I'll keep this brief. Due to circumstances beyond my-or anyone at FPW's control- each of our shows for the remainder of this year will be moved back by one week. I have consulted with all of our roster members and this unplanned change will not negatively impact any of them. I apologise for the inconvenience caused and assure you that this has no bearing on the future of Freedom Pro Wrestling."

*Camera comes up on Berry Bishop in the locker room shortly after the Rumble match at Road to Uncensored. She bursts through the locker room door and slams her fist against her locker with each word*

BB: Gosh-dang-gosh-gosh-heck-gosh-crap-gosh-dangit-other-unoriginal-alternatives-to-cursing-that-Good-Mythical-Christian-YouTubers-use-to-maintain-their-PG-rating-because-apparently-even-saying-darn-or-jeez-is-heretical-and-blasphemous!

*Camera pans back over to the locker room door, through which Fozzie Bishop enters with a piece of paper in his mouth. He trots over to Berry and paws at her leg.*

BB: Not now, Fozzie, I’m busy criticizing mass-market content creators who don’t understand that you can use alternative words without saying the same thing eight times in a row!

*Fozzie paws again and growls solemnly. Berry reaches down and takes the paper. Something thuds to the floor, but Berry doesn’t notice.*

BB: Okay, but this had better be important, because putting your religious beliefs over what words you’re allowed to use and limiting them to at most four without coming up with alternatives or creative originals for the sake of entertainment is seriously frikking annoying to me!

*Fozzie growls sardonically*

BB: That’s different! I know that I can swear because FPW’s TV rating allows it, I just choose not to because sometimes alternative cusses are funnier!

*Fozzie and Berry both wink at the camera. Berry then unfolds and reads the paper she withdrew from Fozzie’s collar.*

BB: ...Bobby... Jerry did always say that you were the best friend he had outside the League of Friendmigos...

*Fozzie pushes the torn mask onto Berry’s feet.*

BB: This... This is what Jerry’s always been. Jerry’s always had the mask, he’d even wear it when we’d go out for dinner sometimes. He’s always been the spirit of FPW... the Spirit of FPW, even...

*Puts on a perfect Orson Welles impression*

BB: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men...- Wait, that’s the Shadow.

*Fozzie growls*

BB: I just said that’s the Shadow! The Spirit didn’t have a catchphrase, okay?

*Berry takes a deep breath and kneels down to pet Fozzie*

BB: I’m sorry, li’l buddy. It was hard enough losing the first title any Bishop’s ever held, and then losing at the last moment to... that grimy slimy Limey bastard... And as much as I hate the Neville Chamberlain of the Elimination Chamber-

*Fozzie growls quizzically*

BB: THERE’S ONLY SO MANY LIMEY JOKES YOU CAN MAKE, GOSH GOSH IT! *deep breath* I’m sorry, Fozzie. Come here.

*Berry extends a hug to Fozzie. Fozzie rises onto his back legs and leans in.*

BB: Jerry’s feeling really adrift right now. More than he ever has. He needs us to be strong for him. He needs us to keep him in reality. He needs us to remind him that we love the Jester. The Jerry we know, the Jerry that steals the show night after night. The Jerry that won everyone’s hearts. And we’re going to keep fighting to get him back, right?

*Fozzie growls assertively*

BB: We’re going to bring back the Jester?

*Fozzie snorts and stomps confidently*

BB: We’re going to bring back the Jerry we all love?

*Fozzie rears up onto his back legs and lets out a roar unlike any he’s ever done before.*

BB: Dang, li’l buddy, I always figured you were a tenor.

*Fozzie shrugs*

BB: Now let’s go get ready to take down that Creep from Baker Street!

*Berry and Fozzie rush from the locker room, unwittingly dropping Jerry’s mask. They open the door and blow past Dasha Banks and Ted Crewmember.*

(As such, the camera cuts to Ted’s camera angle)

DB: Berry, wait, I was hoping we could-

*Berry and Fozzie are long gone. Dasha sighs, but notices the locker room door is open.*

DB: Couldn’t hurt to see if anyone else is in, right, Ted?

TC: Don’t see why not.

*Dasha swings the door open to find it vacant, but she notices something in front of Berry’s locker.*

DB: What’s this?

*Dasha picks up the torn remains of Jerry’s mask.*

TC: Oh... Oh, jeez, Dasha-

DB: You know you can swear on this show.

TC: You always do put the show first, don’t you, Dasha? ...but seriously, kid, when’s the last time you put yourself first?

DB: That’s not important right now.

TC: But it is still important. We all know what that mask means to Jerry, we all know what he’s going through right now, and we know what he meant to us. To all of us.

DB: He was always more than the mask.

TC: That’s true, too. But by the same token that mask grew to stand for something more than himself. He was always the heart of this company, but that mask represented the best side of himself. And now that the mask is ruined, well...

DB: No. No, I refuse to believe that the Jester is truly dead. He may be gone, but he’s not forgotten. Somewhere in Jerry’s mind, the Jester is still there, and I will do whatever I can to help him come back.

*Dasha clutches the mask in her hands before taking a deep breath, regaining her professional demeanor and turning towards the camera.*

DB: Right, shall we see who’s available for a few words?

TC: ...sure, kid.

*Camera fades out*

The camera comes on to reveal Jace Mason in the locker room. He gives a playful smile to the camera.

"Hey. Long time no see, huh? I had a couple things crop up that kept me away. Nothing major, don't worry, just things that kept me busy. I wasn't even planning on making one of these before my match with Aaron, but with that being pushed back a week, now I have the time."

"Let's see, the last time you guys saw me, I was competing in the thirty-man rumble match for the vacant FPW World title. Now to be honest, I almost declined when I was invited into the match. I know just how much one opportunity can change a career, and I already have my opportunity." He lifts up the Free-1 trophy. "I didn't necessarily need a spot in that match, and I would have been willing to give someone else that opportunity. But then I realized how much of an honor it was to be included in such a match, and I accepted the spot. But now that's in the past, and we get to look forward to my matchup with Aaron Williams. Now this is a match that I actually want to be a part of. trainer with Aaron when we were a team was a large part of ho I was able to win the Free-1, even if it didn't help me beat him in our match. And now I get another chance to wrestle one of my best friends in the business. We both know we're going to bring everything we have, and we're going to tear the house down trying to claim this trophy. And now I have to wait another week to have it. There's a part of me that's disappointed, but there's another part of me that's glad, because now I get another week to prepare for one of the best I've ever seen. I can't wait."

[botiatus]

Bo is back in the gym stretching inside the ring. J stands on the apron watching intently

J- "Are you serious about this? This can't possibly end well"

Bo- "We already talked about this J"

J- "Yeah we did and I told you then that it'll never work. I kept hoping that you would come to your senses at some point but here we are moments away from all of this blowing up in your..."

He stops mid sentence as the gym doors swing open and in walks Jerry Bishop. Bo gives J a reassuring pat on the shoulder before walking over to Jerry

Bo- "Hey man thanks for coming"

Jerry- "Like I said I could use the distraction. So where's our partner"

Bo- "Actually I wanted to talk with you about that real quick"

Jerry- "Let me guess you couldn't find anyone else who you don't have a problem with"

Bo- "Oh no I found someone else but it's not me who might have a problem with them"

"Jerry?"

Both men turn around to see Bobby standing in the doorway. Jerry looks back and forth between Bobby and Bo as the realization washes over him. The fire begins to burn in his eyes as he talks

Jerry- "Is this some kind of *bleeping joke to you?"

Bo- "Wait wait wait, did you just make an audible bleeping sound? How is that even possible?"

Bobby- "Jerry I had no idea you were gonna be here. I think maybe I should just go"

Jerry- "Do whatever tickles you pink, clearly I need to leave because I can't trust ANYBODY here"

Jerry starts walking towards the door as Bobby moves aside to give him space

Bo- "HOLD ON ONE DAMN MINUTE BOTH OF YOU"

Everyone in the room stops and Bo takes a deep breath ad he walks towards both men

Bo- "Look Jerry, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner that Bobby was my third. And Bobby same goes for you. I know you guys have your problems right now. In fact J over there has been telling me I'm stupid for even trying this. That the two of you will never agree to work together. So that's why I'm not asking you to work together. I'm asking you both to work with me and only me. We can run all of the tags through me so that the two of you never have to work together at all. I'm the one with a score to settle here anyways so I don't mind spending the bulk of time in the ring. Hell we don't even have to train together. I'll train with each of you individually. How does that sound?"

Bobby shrugs his shoulders but Jerry stil seems hesitant. He looks hard at Bobby then back at Bo

Jerry- "Fine, but I came to train now"

Jerry walks off and Bo lets out a momentary sigh of relief before turning to Bobby who's demeanor has now changed becoming much more serious. He gets close to Bo as he speaks out of earshot of everyone else

Bobby- "Let's get one thing straight, I acted cool just now for Jerry's sake, not yours. Me and you we're not friends, at least not yet and what you just pulled here wasn't cool. I have enough problems with Jerry already without you adding one more to the list"

Bo- "Bobby I'm not trying to get anywhere near your problems with Jerry. I just need both of your help. And honestly this was probably the only way it would've worked so i'll take it anyway I can. This is about winning and nothing more for me"

Bobby- "Sure it is"

Jerry- "Are we gonna train or what?"

Bo turns around to see Jerry standing in the ring already in full gear. He turns back around but Bobby is already out the door

Bo walks back towards the ring stopping to whisper a question to J as Jerry runs the ropes

Bo- "How the hell he get changed so fast?"

J just shrugs and Bo decides to file it with the bleep under weird shit as he goes to get started
