1.Sample Oncard Interviews
1.2. In-ring Interviews
2.Sample Promos
3.Sample Commercials

 

(The camera shows the WWA Monday Night Live entrance way. The fans seem anxious for the event to begin. Suddenly the music to "Until I Fall Away" by Gin Blossoms begins to play. The crowd goes absolutely crazy. The camera shows several signs. One says "Haplo will be the first to defeat Goldberg!" Haplo steps out of the entranceway to a huge face pop.)

Haplo: (screaming) NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!!!!!

(Haplo is wearing a black shirt that says "Vagabond" in Green on the front, and "NOW IT'S PERSONAL" in big white letters on the back. The camera pans through the crowd again and one can see that several of the fans are wearing the same shirt as Haplo. Haplo walks straight to the ring, climbs the turnbuckle, and once again yells "NOW IT'S PERSONAL" TO A BIG POP. Haplo grabs a microphone from the ring announcer.)

Haplo: I told them it was personal, and damn it I meant it!

(Haplo jumps back on the ring apron)

Haplo: Didn't believe me? Well, I always tell the truth. I will kick everyone's ass before the Pay Per View. You're looking at the man who took out eleven of the best the WWA threw at him. I snapped this week, but it won't happen again.

(Haplo jumps off the ring apron and paces around the ring)

Haplo: If you think what I've said includes everyone but you, then kiss my ass! I'm pissed, and when Haplo gets pissed, everyone feels it.

(Haplo turns around and shows the back of his shirt)

Haplo: Remember these words..... Fear these words. Before it was nothing,

NOW IT'S PERSONAL!

(Haplo throws the mic down on the mat, and exits the ring and heads back up the entryway)

(Cameras Fade to black)

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

[The camera pans across the jam packed RCA Dome. It passes of the thousands of fans and the almost as many signs. It continues to pan, until it reaches the upper deck. Seated in the very last row, way up in the rafters, is WWA new signee Backlash. The camera zooms in on the muscular cruiserweight, as he leans forward in his seat, with his chin resting in his hands. He's waering a redish/orange mask that has black bengel stripes on it. He's also dressed in jeans and a orange t-shirt, with an IIWF hat on.]

Backlash: Way up here in the Sting seats, huh?! I don't think I'll repel down, though. I'll probably take the stairs. So this is it. The big time. Sure looks a lot different way up here. Not a bad night's worth of action. What's this event called? Spring Fling? A pretty good card loved that scaffold match. A great cruiserweight battle royal too, filled with lots of tough competitors. I feel a little let down, though, that I wasn't invited, but I guess I've got to work my way up the ladder. I can deal with that. So who's the first rung on the ladder? Peter Hand. Let me say that there's never been a man in a skirt that I couldn't whip his ass. I ain't braggin', it's just the truth. I've been trying to remember-- maybe Babyface could help me if he's still into qouting Shakesphere all the time like he was in the FSW -- how does that play MacBeth ends. I think at the very end, MacBeth has had his head chopped off, and it's being paraded around on a pole. Now, I ain't planning on decapitating ol' Pete Hand, but I am gonna leave him in a world of hurt. Guaranteed. So you remember this, Hand, come Thursday night. Remember three things: I am the Definition... I am the Truth... and I am the Man. Bottom Line. Outta my way, Mr. Hand, and let the Big Dog eat!

[The camera cuts back to the announcers at ring side.]

=====================================================================================
As explained earlier Oncard Interviews can also take place in the ring. Here is a good example of a in-ring interview.
=====================================================================================

MANNING: “Uhh... anyway, I hear that we are about to have an on-card interview. Let’s take it away!”

(Can't Knock the Hustle by Jay-Z plays over the loud speaker as the fans stand and applaud. Havoc walks out wearing a Havoc "Determined to Succeed" t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. He high fives the crowd as he walks to the ring.)

MANNING: “Many people believe Havoc should have won the NATV Title at On Location.”

KNIGHT: “Big deal. Many people also believe that Austin is still a good mat wrestler. But intelligent people know better.”

(Havoc enters the ring and gets a microphone)

HAVOC: “What's up, New Mexico!!”

(Crowd goes berserk... they always do when you personalize things that way)

HAVOC: “Well, I know that no one has heard anything from me since On Location. I have been in seclusion at BFB's home in Hawaii. To say I was very upset after On Location would be an understatement. I had worked so hard for almost a month to win the NATV title and it was taken away from me by one idiot. It was clear to anyone who saw the match that I was dominating everyone else in there. Am I right?

(Crowd erupts again.)

HAVOC: “But today I don't stand before you as the NATV champ. I was mad over that but my hard work has showed someone something. Because at Crash Carnival of Carnage III, I get another chance to win the NATV title. And I don't care if it is Hardcore Dave Clark, Nosferatu, or anyone else, because I can guarentee them a battle that they will never forget. I will be watching intently tonight who wins because that person could have a hard task ahead of them. March 17, I plan to be the NATV champ because there can be no other way.”

HAVOC: “Now it seems over the last few weeks, that the Best of the Best has received a lot of attention. The shots have been coming at all angles. Well, let me just state that it is all just jealousy. People are upset at how good we are. But it won't stop us because we are what our name says and that is just how it is. I told the WWA that 1999 would be the year of the Best of the Best and so far we are on our way to prove it.”

(Havoc climbs the turnbuckle and the crowd cheers. He gives the mic to the ring announcer, exits the ring, and high fives the crowd as he heads back to the entrance area. “Can’t Knock the Hustle” by Jay-Z plays over the P.A. once more.)

 

 

( This first sample promo was submitted by Narcolepsy of the WWA. This was actually his first roleplay for the fed. This is what alot of handlers do to build hype for their wrestler. Instead of sending in a typical role play for a flashpacket they instead cut a promo that will be aired on the fed's main card. This will garner the most attention from other handlers because everyone reads the main card.)

[ A huge video screen in the WWA locker room goes black. All the wrestlers look up to see what it is. The song 'Blow Up the Outside World' by Soundgarden begins to play. A faint silhouette of a man is shown. All the wrestlers are paying close attention, now. You can now see the man's face, scar-covered and cold. He says just one line- "I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!!!" As he says this, flames burn his name on the screen- this is... 'NARCOLEPSY' ! The video is now showing clips of his past matches. It shows a clip from every match he won, 59 in all. A narrator talks over the music.]

Narrator: DDT's, suplexes, slams. Narcolepsy has it all. He is a force to be reckoned with. He has a devastating finishing move. He picks his victim up like a powerbomb but turns it into a tombstone. He calls it 'Comatose'. He accepts any challenge and will fight his hardest. He respects wrestlers and demands to be respected. He was abused as a child, so don't get on his bad side, or he will make you pay. He is a veteran wrestler and a good man who's just looking for a good fight. But remember whatever you do to him will come back to haunt you. He will get revenge. He will get even. He is NARCOLEPSY!

[The video plays a few more seconds of him and his wrestling. As the video fades back to black the words FEAR HIM burn into the screen.]

===================================================================================
(This next promo takes more of a mysterious approach as the handler doesn't want you to know who is doing the talking. This was done by a wrestler who was in the fed before but is now making a return attempt. ===================================================================================

(Suddenly the arena's Jumbotron comes to life, the crowd, wrestlers and announcers give it their full attention. The scene on the Jumbotron opens up in a dark room where you can see nothing but the a light shining against the back wall of the room. You can see a silouette of a person back against the wall, but that is all that you can see. It actually looks like there is two people there, but you can't actually tell it there is two or not. All of a sudden a voice begins to speak)

VOICE: Well, well, well, it is time once again for everyone to realize the true power in the WWA, and it is time for the man who made this company and this business what it is today, to step back into the spotlight. Who is it you say, if anyone knows anything about wrestling, they will know who it is, but for all you Jackasses out there that don't know who it is, well then you will just have to wait and see.

(a mysterious laugh fills the room)

VOICE: My return is going to be one of the all time greatest moments here in the WWA, only because I know what I am doing when I step into this ring, unlike most of the other so called wrestlers in this business. I am going to come back and haunt so many here in the WWA, like I have never haunted before.

( a brief pause...)

VOICE: I have been watching over activity here in the WWA and have noticed the good and the bad that are here in the WWA. We have the World Champion and International Champion Logan Mckenzie walking around with two belts that he doesn't deserve to have, but that is alright though, because that just tells me the lack of talent in this federation, if Logan Mckenzie is walking around with two belts.

(ha, ha, ha)

VOICE: We have Babyface brawler wrestling in a main event at Crash Carnival of Carnage 4, after not wrestling for quite a while. He better just hope he doesn't show up this weekend, because I may just have to pay him a visit. Let's just say that the talent here in the WWA needs some revamping and cleaning up done too it and that is exactly what I am going to come into the WWA and do. I am going to go through this federation and pick out the key players and the losers and toss them out like last week's garbage. Let's just say that this is going to become the best federation around, now that I am returning, and I am looking forward to renewing the flame that used to be in the WWA!

(The scene closes as the silouette moves away from the back and the wall, and all of a sudden the light that was on is shut off)

====================================================================================
(Here we have two fine examples of oncard promos, both by different wrestkers. As you can tell promos should always fit into one of the followimg: Your wrestlers character, gimmick, personality or history, of relate to his current angle or feud.
====================================================================================

Voice Over: I went to a wrestling match and a "Shoot-Fight" broke out!

[The Scene cuts to various brutal graphic shots of boxing matches, Karate style tournament matches, Toughman competittions, Kick Boxing, Brass Knuckle and bare hand brawls, the Legedary Singapore Pit Fights, and UFC Octagon matches.]

Voice Over: Real fights, real blood, real men!

[Cuts to a shot of a pack of wild dogs savagely attacking each other. Two gun shots are heard, the dogs fall dead in a bloody heap. The camera pans to a rugged looking man, wearing blue jeans, boots anfd no shirt. The upper torso is scattered with scars, he cuts a evil grin then lays a smoking double pump shotgun over his shoulder as he walks away.]

V/O: Real Violence, "The Real Deal" Terry Allen, coming real soon.

[The seen fades to black.]

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

[A deep bass voice speaks as thunder is heard in the distance...]

VOICE: Since the dawn of time man has attempted to harness Mother Nature...

[Scene of a hurricane destroying the coastline of a tropical village]

VOICE: Since the dawn of time man has attempted to build weapons of great destruction!

[Scene of a Russian MIG bombarding a enemy AirCraft carrier then cutting to a scene of a several American Sherman tanks cutting through the hedgerows of Northern Europe then cutting to the scene of a large mushroom cloud bursting over the Nevada desert]

 VOICE: Since the dawn of time man has tried to understand the human mind...

 [Scene of a galaxy with the equation "E=mc2" and "X to the power of Y"and other various and sundry mathematical equations are seen floating about then fading away]

VOICE: Well... Put away your toys for the raw power of Mother Nature is going to be set upon you! [flash of lightning] The ultimate wrestling weapon of destruction is about to be unleashed! [A sword and cestus are dropped to the ground] The monster without a conscious or a mind.... [Blazing unnatural dark blue eyes are seen] On July 31st at Crash Carnival of Carnage all sanity will be thrown aside to bring two things to the ring... CHAOS and DARKNESS!

[Pan down to a hot red-white anvil as suddenly a large fist with an iron wrist band is slammed down on to it. The anvil breaks in half and the searing of flesh is heard. Screen fades to black then suddenly static and white noise fill the air.]

VOICE: Are you prepare for what will arise from the ashes?

  ["E" The Return]

(Here are some sample commercials. These are self explanatory, but we decided to include a few just in case someone was in doubt.)

VO: You have seen him in action!

(Cut to various shots of Latin Lightning performing high impact moves on a variety of opponents. This type of shot is seen through the video.)

VO: Now you can get the Shirt!! The official Latin Lightning T-shirt.

(Dissolve to a shot of a scantily clad and drop dead knockout gorgeous female. In fact she is only wearing a purple T-shirt. The shirt has a Lightning Bolt on the front with the stylized LL insignia superimposed on it. On the rear are the words "Hot Property")

VO: Supplies are limited order your Hot Property T-shirt now before it's too late...

LL: (with the model in his arms. LL is wearing his ring gear sans the jacket.) and lightning strikes you!

(Fade to black)

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

(SCENE - Smoke rises from seemingly nowhere, darkness surrounds the CAMERA. Sirens wail in the background, an alarm buzzes noisely. From the midst of the darkness comes the ROBOT from "Lost In Space", arms flailing wildly.)

ROBOT: Danger! Danger! Danger!

(Suddenly, without explanation, the ROBOT blows up. From the darkness steps BILLIE WALKER, "TEXAS DANGER", wearing a black t-shirt with a large blue star in the center, the word DANGER written above the star in blue letters outlined in white, like the star.)

WALKER: If ya got a short tolerance for BS like I do, then I got the shirt for ya. And if you don't like it, I think you know what you can do with it. . .

(WALKER walks away through the broken remains. Cut to product shot.)

ANNOUNCER: (voice over) Get the new Billie Walker "Texas Danger" t-shirt for just $24.99, not including shipping and handling! Call now and you won't receive a brutal @$$kicking like Sarge is going to the next time he steps in the way of "Danger"!

(Cut to blue screen that reads.)

"TEXAS DANGER T-SHIRT
Box 187
Dallas, TX (who in the hell cares what the zip is!)

==================================================================================
Though it's most common and popular for wrestlers to sell T-shirts and other merchandise that they endorse or included their likeness. You can also do a more mainstream approach to commercial advertisment. Here's an example of duch a commercial.
==================================================================================
(It opens with a highway...the Camera is moving along at a fast pace through a tunnel. It exits the tunnel into the light and goes into a fast forward type speed...it catches up to a red Chevrolet Camaro Convertible and goes into slow motion as it begins to do a 360 pan. The driver is revealed to be Jose Garces. The Narrator begins to speak)

Narrator: There are only two different things that have the perfect blend of speed, power, looks, style, durability, and reliability...and you're looking at both...The New 1999 Camaro...Why wait for the Millennium?

(fade out)
