I've never been so bored Dwayne. That song was interminable. Halfway through I just wanted to:

The only thing I learned and the MILLLLLLIONS WATCHING AT HOME learned is that you failed Dwayne. Yes, you failed. You're resigned to limiting yourself, to narrowing your career and aspirations. And that one thing -- wrestling -- is something you're not even that good at.

For you see, Jericho is the greatest wrestling champion of all time. Jericho makes WWE history and unites the belts. Jericho writes NYT best sellers. Jericho plays the Gramercy Theatre in NYC. Jericho's band charts on Billboard. But most importantly, Jericho -- in less than 24 hours -- wins the WWE Championship yet again. And Dwayne, you'll join the rest of these low-rent, mid-card losers fighting for the scraps of the Jericho reign. Maybe Vince can dust off the WCW TV title or something, help you out with something more your speed.

So yes, Dwayne, I am here for the strap. And the money. And the women. And the cheers. And Jericho will have it all, because

Y2J EXITS, GENERAL FANFARE AND COMMOTION

Chris Jericho, you should go back and listen to your first promo because you’re saying the same things that you said before. It’s the same story over and over and over and over:

Rock using a sarcastic tone of voice

I’m the best in the world at what I do.

That is some grade-A, money back guarantee, one big bucket of Canadian moose piss! Because the fact of the matter is this, Jericho, as long as I’m around, the very best you can ever be is number two. You come out here and you run your mouth about how you’ve written books and played in concert venues. I’m sure your Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Joe Jericho with the glass eye, Grandpa Jimmy Jack Jericho with the iron lung and Grandma Jezebel Jericho with the double XL dirty panties enjoyed your shows. Hopefully they will be watching tonight when I layeth the smacketh down on your candy ass.

Listen here, jabrone. Tonight, in front of the millions of the Rocks fans, failure will not be an option. What you fail to realize Chris Jericho, is when it is all said and done and the smoke has cleared and The Rock has whipped that candy ass, and I have gone to win the WWF championship, you and the entire Y2J family will NEVER….EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR be the same a-gain.

IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLL

WHAT THE ROCK…IS…COOKING.

Fans erupt and chant the Rock’s name.

Big Show walks down to the ring and grabs a mic

Dude Love! Let's not pretend that the man behind the mask or the BANG BANG guy is truly who you are... Let's face the facts! You're truly just the brutish side of that gay couple that lives down the street selling handmade soap, you hippie. What do they call that type of person? Bears or something like that? You say you'll never quit? You're the ultimate grinder? I think you're just trying to tell everyone you're the ultimate on grindr.

This entire match is a joke! How is it that The Rock and Jericho get an automatic bid to the championship and here I am having to beat down, this fool... BEAT DOWN, NOT BEAT OFF, YOU FREAK. You're not even worth my time, Dude Love. I'm here to be the world champion, and just look at me! 7 foot tall, 425 pounds. There's no one here that can physically compete with me! Especially some 6'2" 100 pounds of muscle, 150 pounds of flab moron like Dude Love. You may have fallen 25 feet, but the fall from 7 feet will be much, MUCH more devastating. After I knock this idiot out, I want my shot at the belt!

Drops the mic and walks back up the ramp to his theme song.

Hey Dude Love, I have one final question for you before I knock you out. Let's just say that Mankind and Cactus Jack were stuck on a fence... would you help Mankind down or would you help Cactus Jack off? Get yourself ready for the weapon of mass destruction...

Edge stands next to an empty chair in the center of the ring

Edge: Welcome to the "Cutting Edge." Tonight, I was supposed to have a very special guest. A guest who prides himself on his "legacy." You all know him as Triple H. Sadly Triple H could not be here tonight as he is too busy attending corporate meetings with Vince. You see, HHH likes to focus on his legacy and what a legacy it is. Kissing the ass of every McMahon to the tune of 23 Championships, which would be impressive if they weren't handed to him on a silver platter. I've got to say, it seems as though marrying the boss's daughter certainly has its privileges.

Edge: Unfortunately, age and that time out of the ring spent in boardrooms has fuzzied his memory a bit. He can't remember who he faced in his title matches because they happened so long ago. You see I remember each and every one of my championships. I remember November 23, 2008 in Boston. You should remember that night too Triple H. You were there. It was Survivor Series and you stood in the ring with me and Victor Kozlov. That was also the last time you held the WWE Championship. Now given your memory issues you probably don't remember exactly what happened but allow me to refresh your memory.

Points to Titantron

Edge: That was me taking your title Triple H. And you haven't sniffed it since.

Edge: Triple H you questioned MY legacy, a legacy that includes 31 Championships in this company, 8 more than you and the McMahons were able to cobble together. Each and every one fought for, earned and remembered. Don't worry though, its not just your memory of your titles that is going. These fans don't remember either.

Edge:Triple H, as you know I am an opportunist, a predator, and this King of The Ring is an opportunity for me to be the number one contender and regain my place at the top of the company. On Tuesday you will get to experience the grit you say I'm lacking. The grit that made me an 11-time World Champion in this company. The grit that will send you back to the beginning, picking up the pieces of your legacy in the dirt it started from.

As the crew furiously builds the ring for tonights event, the arena goes black. a flashing red light blinds the staff

Gangrel Theme
Spoiler:
[youtube][/youtube]
A muscular version of Edge, dressed in dollar tree sunglasses, a ratty blonde wig, and wearing a sparkling "Team Hunter" T-shirt, stumbles his way down the rows of empty seats, knocking seats over along the way. The man trips over the black retaining wall, begins to run towards the ring to slide in but is scared to hurt himself. he sheepishly walks over to the steps and climbs in.

Edge: Wuh, wuh, wuh welcome to The Cutting Edge.

He throws his hands in the air while the crew completely ignores him.

Edge: I dont care if nobody listens to me. I have some things to say. I may be some run-of-the-mill, no talent hack, but if im going to lose in the first round of the KotR, it might as well be to the best! I might as well just forf...

Edge stops what hes doing and motions to the crew.

Edge: Hey, I forgot my cup, bring me my cup!

The crewman drops his bundle of cables and grabs the cherry gatorade cup that was left on the ring steps. he hands it to Edge and walks off

Edge lifts the cherry gatorade cup up with two hands and drinks from it, spilling its red contents all down the front of his shirt

Edge: Much better. As I was saying, I may have spoken out of line when i said i beat Triple H 6 years ago at Survivor Series when we all know that I took advantage of a true gladiator that was fighting another opponent in a manly, respectable fashion while i snakishly administered a cheap move. I apologize for that, sir. Also, I know that without Triple H's help, i wouldnt have nearly the amount of success in this sport. Hes like an idol of mine. A true mentor. I also said some really awkward things about being a predator, which may or may not get me banned from being around elementary schools. This whole thing has gotten out of hand, honestly. So, when anybody asks who i want to win this evening's match, i would definitely be on Team Hunter.

Edge lifts the last of his cherry drink to his mouth and spits the contents of the cherry cup in the air--a true homage to a living legend.

Edge rips off the cheap, garish glasses and wig to reveal Triple H

Triple H: Enough of the jokes, Edge. Or should i say "Enough of that joke, Edge" When the King of the Ring is complete, I will be sitting on the throne once again. You will do your normal post-match routine

Triple H points to the jumbotron while not breaking eye contact with the camera

Edge backstage before the match

Edge: Triple H, isn't it past your bedtime? Now you're complaining that my win over you at Survivor Series was cheap, please get over yourself. You see, as I said I'm an opportunist. I do what needs to be done to win. THAT is what separates you and I. You get by with the help of Vince and the rest of those bozos, as evidenced by tonight. You got scared and now we have daddy's widdle boy looking out for you in the ring. Well I'll tell you what grandpa, I'm tired of this verbal sparring. First because no one cares what you have to say. You cut your promos in an empty arena and in front of bored camera guys, isn't that telling you something? The second reason is because I'm ready to let my work in the ring do the talking tonight. Will you be?

starts to walk away then turns back to the camera, sits down and scrapes dirt off the bottom of his boot

Edge: By the way Triple H, I found some of your legacy on my boots this morning and thought you might want it back.

KING of the RING 2014

Jim Ross: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and WELCOME to the WWF King of The Ring! We have an action packed show for you this evening, so let's take a look at some of the highlights leading up to tonight!

Jerry Lawler: And boy oh boy, it was quite a war of words this week!

Jim Ross: That's right, King.

Stone Cold Steve Austin wrote:

Now I've had people backstage telling me "Stone Cold, the King of the Ring is a prestigious tradition". "Stone Cold, look at all the great names that have won besides you". "Stone Cold, the King of the Ring is so much more than just a tournament". Well I'm here to say that's a bunch of BS. I look at this sad sack list of names and all I see are opportunities to whoop some ass.

Triple H wrote:

We as gladiators in this modern coliseum pride ourselves on being the best at what we do, while staying true to who we are. At the twilight of our careers, we can look back and say that we were truly one of the greats of our generation.

Jim Ross: These competitors will be head to head tonight at King of The Ring.

Jerry Lawler: I can't wait to see that punk Edge go down, he had the audacity to bring up his legacy!

Jim Ross: Much to the dismay of Mr. McMahon, but even you have to admit, king, that Edge has had quite a career here in the WWF.

Jerry Lawler: We'll see what Triple H has to say about that.

Can a superstar post 2 "promos" or whatever they are in a row? I thought we had to follow the order. Initial post, rebuttal, rebuttal to rebuttal, and so on.

I'm not complaining and I don't care that Big Show posted 2 rebuttals to Foley's 1 promo but I just want to be clear moving forward.

This is correct you are supposed to give your opponent a chance to respond. Double posting (2+ in a row), the second post just won't count.

a lot of no shows at the first RAW. Vince is doing a bad job promoting.

count2infinity · Post by **count2infinity** » Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:10 am

so the strategy now is to post first... allow your opponent to respond, then type up an additional response and just keep it saved for the deadline, and submit 1 minute before the deadline so the other doesn't have a chance to respond, and profit.

This is a good point

Post by **canaan** » Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:52 am

Posting first is a disadvantage because your opponent can have something to work off of. posting two in a row should be allowed. they should just be judged in rounds. its silly to do otherwise.

Post by **PensFanInDC** » Wed Aug 20, 2014 12:22 pm

Something to consider for future games like this:

random.org who will post the first promo
allow a total of 3 posts per superstar per promo phase (reputation points notwithstanding)
after the first rebuttal either superstar can post another promo no matter who posted last

I think this would create a [statement -> rebuttal -> extra promos] kind of flow
