Promo round ends on Tuesday

[Faceless]

The scene opens up inside a dim room, with a few variety color light bulbs providing a little bit of lightning. Inside the said rooms stands a figure of a man, a figure that has become somewhat well known in the realm of EVPW. A figure of the mysterious nameless one. Well, at least it seems upon first glance that it's Faceless. However, as the camera approaches the aforementioned figure and get more in to focus, doubts are raised. While the physique and, obviously, the mask on his face makes you instantly think of "Billy", the mask is somewhat different. Instead of the regular white emotionless mask, the man in the room wears a golden shiny mask and the corners of plastic lips are extended by flashing lights to make an illusion of a wide wacky smile. To compliment this unusual mask, this weird persona also wears a white hoody, covered in flashing lights that come in all colors of the rainbow. To top it all of, the sparkling weirdo begins to speak.

Hey, hey, hey! Welcome one an all to the greatest interview extravaganza ever. My name is Gold-Face Larry and this is my super awesome talk show, where I talk and make it a show!

While the voice of Larry does bare quite some similarities to that of Faceless, it's more high-pitched, accompanied by a corny accent of unknown decent and in general Larry spits out words in quicker rate than "Billy" usually does.

Ain't that awesome?! No? Well, then listen to this - not only will I talk, but I will have guest! And I'm will ask them questions, and they will answer them and it's gonna be like...

The Gold-Face lifts up his hands up to his face, two fingers of each hand extended to make a shape of a gun.

...pew pew awesome! Now where else can you see that? I rest my case. But enough with legal stuff, let's get right to the swing of things and bring out my guest. He doesn't really have a name... or a face, but you know... you know... come on you know... forgot what my point was. Well, regardless of all that doodle, gals and guys, I give you Faceless.

Larry turns to one side a bit as if looking at someone.

Welcome to the show!

All of a sudden, the colorful lights in the room turn off as does all the lights on Larry's mask and hoody. After a short second, a few simple old light bulbs turn on in the room, revealing Faceless standing right where Larry did just a moment ago, however looking at the opposite side. Wasting no time he begins to speak in his normal, calm voice.

Um... Thanks. Happy to be here... I think.

The lights go off again and just a second later return to the original rainbows inspired theme. Along with them also returns Larry, flashing lights on his face and hoody again.

Of course you're happy. I'm happy! The people are happy! This is the debut of super duper Gold-Face Larry show! Pew pew!

While making the ridiculous laser gun sounds again, Larry once more lifts his hands up to the view and gives away the illusion. Tightly in his grip resides a small remote controller, which apparently controls the lights. This is confirmed unintentionally when Larry presses a button on the said controller before hiding his hands from the view. Like before, the flashy stuff turns off and the regular lights light up, bringing back Faceless.

OK, whatever you say. You should calm down though, gonna give yourself a stroke. How about we just get to the questions.

As on cue, along with Faceless finishing his sentence, the lights switch again.

Right-o! Question numero uno. Spanish, baby, I know it!... Alright, so tonight you're facing AJ Scally and it's a ladder match. Woo! What's your game-plan? Scally is a mean dude, no messing around. How do you intend to beat him?

No surprise at all, one click and Larry disappears, bringing back Faceless.

My game-plan? It's very simple. It's the same exact plan I had last week. And the week before that. And it's the same plan I will have next week and many ones following it. I'm going to get out there and give every bit of energy I have to put up the best damn show I can. Given that's it a ladder match... well that just add to the excitement. As far as AJ Scally goes... he's a seasoned wrestler, he battled a lot of tough opponents and he's clearly no stranger to ladder matches. But not for one second should he make a mistake of thinking he has any sort of advantage over me. Cause I have went toe-to-toe with some of the biggest names in EVPW history and I made a career by competing in ladder matches and all kind of variations of it. And I won them. You can ask Desperado for confirmation if you like. So the way I see it... it's gonna be one hell of a battle and the ones that care to watch will be the winners.

Another flicker of the lights and the Gold-Face is back again, ready to ask another question.

Rock on! Should be a wicked bout. But doesn't it concern you that Scally has just joined the company? Aren't you afraid of their enforce dudes showing up and going BAM BAM CRACK?! Down goes the masked one, out for the night!

There goes the flashy lights again, replaced by the simple dull ones.

Am I concerned with the Company interfering? They can try. I'm fully ready to counter whatever they might end up throwing at me. See, unlike most guys and girls in the locker room, I know first hand just what kind of bunch they are. My past asshole self did just what those aligned to the Company did and teamed up with a bunch of suits in hope to take over the company and shape it to soulless money printing machine. They talk sweet about big future and what not, but it's all about cash and power over others. Those who join them hope to get at least a little part of it. And they sometimes do... but at the cost of their dignity and freedom. That's not speculation, that's experience. Unfortunately, some need to learn from own mistakes. I know I did.

One more click of a button, one more second of darkness, before Larry returns once more.

Heavy shit, man. Deep like a sea, or something. Anyways, unfortunately, that's all the time we have... I know, you're sad, me too. Booo! But never fear, I'm sure with the success this debut will have, they'll have to bring me back. Woo! Thanks to "Billy", or whatever I should call you, and good luck in your match! This was Gold-Face Larry with the most WIN talk show ever! Beyyyyyyyy!

Once the annoying goodbye by Larry ends, the magic remote that controls the lights is used once more, however, this time instead of switching the lights it turns them off completely, leaving the room in darkness, ending the video clip.

The End

[Scally]

The scene opens up to show an unfamiliar man holding a microphone. Despite the audience not knowing who he is they all begin to boo as he is wearing a black t-shirt with the words “The Company” imprinted in big bold white letters on the front. After the crowd simmer down the man begins to speak.

Man: Hello my name is Taylor Johnson and I am The Company’s handpicked interviewer for none other than the great AJ SCALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Once the enthusiastic introduction is complete the fans all begin to boo loudly as the camera pans over to show the new Company man and Anti-American Hero AJ Scally; wearing long green and gold tights with an Australian cricket shirt on. Once the crowd simmer down again Scally speaks.

AJ: Before you start TJ, I will explain why you are here. The Company feels I cross the line to much with Lizzie calling her a tramp and stuff so they gave me this great guy over here to conduct the interviews.

TJ: Well thank you Mr Scally, I suppose we can begin by me asking why did you join the great Company in the first place?

AJ: As I explained to them when I signed the contract we have similar plans in EVPW, in getting rid of or at the very least devaluing the likes of Matt Violence, Aiden Andrews and Jack Noble.

The fans cheer at the mere mention of all three champions of EVPW as Scally shakes his head in disgust.

AJ: As well as the similar plans, the reputation and financial rewards with being associated with them is humongous and I would be stupid not to sign with them.

TJ: Now some people have wrongly called you a hypocrite for siding with the Company as so often you have verbally bashed EVPW management, what do say to them?

AJ: Typical, in no way shape or form am I a hypocrite. The last time I competed for EVPW was under Bozz and Banks and they were the ones who held me down as well as you American fans, not the Company.

More booing is emitted from the crowd before TJ speaks.

TJ: Ok now onto tonight. What are your thoughts on Faceless?

AJ: Simple, he is a coward. He has hid behind a mask the minute he came back. As I mentioned in my match at the Pay Per View, I hate cowards, he is much in the same vain as Violence and the like and will be punished accordingly.

Another large negative reaction is heard from the crowd.

AJ: He is not too dissimilar to all you Americans sitting here tonight. You are embarrassed to be American he is embarrassed to be here. The reason he hides behind a mask is not to be mysterious and get you to try and figure who he is. He hides behind a mask because he is embarrassed to wrestle for EVPW and I don’t blame him. The only reason I am here is because I was treated so badly before that you guys deserve to feel justice. Which, with the help of the Company you and Faceless here tonight will feel it.

AJ takes a deep breath as boos rain down on him like a storm before TJ starts to speak.

TJ: How do feel about the match being a ladder match?

AJ: I love it; the Company is certainty looking after me right off the bat. Ladder matches are my speciality. I am not afraid to take risks to put on a show for every single NON American EVPW fan.

More verbal jabbing at them has caused the crowd to boo loudly again.

AJ: Faceless tonight I will be the one to climb the ladder and retrieve the replica title belt hanging high above the ring. You are merely another stepping stone on the path towards bringing justice down on those who wronged me.

With that AJ walks off screen and towards the ring as those in the Gym begin to boo loudly.

TJ: Thank you for your time AJ and good luck Faceless you will need it.

A wry smirk comes across the face of Johnson as the scene fades to black.

TBC Faceless

[Faceless]

A couple ladders of different size stand at the entrance way while a few more lie surrounding the ring, as the two combatants stand at the opposite sides of the squared circle, intensively staring at each other. John Patterson takes one more moment to make sure both of them are ready before giving a signal to the timekeeper to ring the bell.

Ding! Ding!

Wasting no time, both AJ and Faceless step up towards the center of the ring and throw their arms in front of themselves, engaging into the classical wrestling lock-up. While initially they try to over-power one another, neither wrestler is able to get a significant advantage. Thus, "Billy's" strategy soon changes as he makes a couple of quick steps to the side and forward to position himself behind Scally. At the same time the Nameless one breaks of the lock-up and slides his arms down before wrapping them around AJ's waist. Now in a position of disadvantage, the Anti-American Hero begins to struggle and attempts to force his way out of the hold, but to no avail. Once again, the lack of significant strength advantage by either competitor prompts Scally to look for another way out and the newest recruit of the Company decides to take a page out of Faceless' book and use his speed and technical skills to take the driver's seat. Like a slippery worm AJ begins to spin while crouching at the same time, wiggling out of "Billy's" arms. Scally doesn't stop there and just like the masked one did seconds ago, slides behind his opponent and instantly wraps his arms around the lower torso of the Nameless one. Fearing that Faceless will once again find a way to retake control, the Company's right hand man immediately tries to follow up by lifting the masked one of his feet, while at the same time bridging backwards. However, still fresh in mind and body, Faceless is quick to react. Instead of trying to stay on the ground, "Billy" actually jumps up the moment he begins to feel AJ rising him up. This creates extra momentum, which, at first glance, does no favors to the Nameless one. Yet, this extra momentum allows Faceless to break away from AJ's waist lock and even add additional degrees to his body flip, resulting in the mystery man landing back on his own to feet unharmed.

Some nice back and forth wrestling from both competitors to set the tone for this match.

Indeed. I just hope it won't end up harming AJ's face in any way. Would be such a shame.

Scally almost lands on his bottom during all of this but manages to hold his balance. With his opponent roaming free behind his back, AJ tries to dodge the danger by making a quick 180 and pretty much leaps forward, swinging his arm in front of himself in hope to catch "Billy" unexpected. Yet, once again his plan fails as the Nameless one is prepared to counter once more. The unknown grappler side steps Scally and swiftly hooks his own arm under AJ's armpit. Using the Australian's momentum against him, Faceless flips him over, sending the Aussie crashing back first into the canvas. The Anti-American Hero doesn't stay down for too long though and within moments begins to rapidly ascend back to vertical position. His troubles doesn't seem to end here and once AJ is firmly back on his feet, Faceless steps up to him and swings one of his feet high in the air, aiming to knock the head of the Aussie of the shoulders. No such luck though. Scally, acting solely based on his instincts, manages to duck right at the last second, avoiding a painful blow. Once out of harm's way, the Company's right hand man seizes the opportunity to counterattack, bouncing back up to vertical stance for a moment only to jump into the air. Once of the mat, the Newcastle resident kicks his legs in front of himself, stretching his body out. Just mere moment later, AJ's wrestling boots are planted firmly into the face, or mask, of Faceless with serious force, blasting the Nameless one back and off his feet.

Serves that "Billy" guy right. Only ugly smugs like his should be kicked.

Ugly smug?

As I stated in the past, it must be ugly if he wears a mask. And the mask itself is no way attractive.

With one of the participants finally out for more than a couple moments, it seems to be a great time to introduce the steel ladders to the bout. Scally agrees with such thought and instead of popping back up to his feet, rolls under the bottom rope, exiting the squared circle. Once at ringside, the Australian takes a second to look around before approaching the nearest folded ladder and picking it up to the displeasure of those in attendance. The vocal opinion of the fans starts to annoy the Anti-American hero, with one fan in particular, sitting at the front row, getting under AJ's skin. A heated argument, or more like a screaming competition, ensues between AJ and said fan, filled with variety of insults and curses.

The whole situation works in favor for Faceless, giving him enough time to recover. After quickly evaluating the situation, the Nameless one exits the ring as well, making sure Scally doesn't notice him. At this point the Aussie was just about done with the fan and went to turn around. To his misfortune, AJ is met by a stiff right hand to the side of his face. Another fist is soon to follow, decking the Anti-American in the forehead and sending him stumbling backwards. This creates a little space between the two cruiserweights, which ends up working to Scally's advantage. As the masked one attempts to dash towards him opponent again, The Australian Resident lifts the ladder he was holding the whole time in front of himself. Unable to stop, "Billy" rams head and chest first into the steel equipment, damaging himself quite a bit. Scally, still sensing possible danger, turns himself and ladder by 90 degrees and slams the top of it into Faceless' guts, causing the mystery man to double over. Wasting no time at all, the Aussie places the top of the ladder on the ring apron while the bottom is dropped on the ground at ringside, making a little bridge. AJ's focus then shifts back to the Nameless one, who is still bent. The Company's recruit grabs the masked one by his arm and pulls him towards himself, whipping the mystery man toward the steel bridge. However, Scally once again underrated "Billy's" ability's. The bleach white faced grappler leaps into the air just few feet away from the ladder and somehow, though only nearly, manages to land feet first on it and remain in vertical position. The Australian is left in disbelief, but only for a couple second. Instantly upon landing, Faceless jumps into the air again, this time flipping his whole body backwards. Not even a moment later, the bodies of the two combatants collide with great impact, nailing both of them into ground at ringside.
