Sample Promo:
The scene opens in an empty arena. Lights are dim, quiet, not a soul in sight. “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” by Weezer hits the arena house speakers, “A Double” Austin Aries wearing a Big Black Sunglasses, a Black Blazer, a White Collar Shirt, Dark Wash Blue Jeans, and nice black Italian leather dress shoes walks out from behind the curtain and walks to the ramp. Austin unbuttons his blazer and takes a deep breath; he begins to pose at the top of the ramp; arms spread wide, head held high, Austin lets out a deep sigh. Austin signals a cut for the music, still facing towards the ring the camera zooms in to Austin.
Austin Aries: “Finally, 'A Double' Austin Aries has found a new home. He has found his home in this beautiful arena. He has found his home in TVW. Since my departure from TNA in 2007, 'A Double' has been in the independent scene, duking it out with some of the best wrestlers in the world. I have been trying to figure out why it was that I was released.”
Austin turns to the camera.
Austin Aries: “Follow me, cameraman”
The cameraman gets in front of Austin.
Austin Aries: “Back up, let me get my strut on.”
The cameraman begins to slowly walk backwards. Austin Aries slowly struts for the camera. Austin smiles and slides off his sunglasses and puts them in his blazer pocket. He stops strutting and pauses on the ramp.
Austin Aries: “While I was away, I did some searching of my own and realized, it wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault for being released; it was TNA's! It was TNA's fault for not realizing my talent. They didn't understand the type of wrestler I can be. They never challenged me as much as I would have like to been. Now I feel that it is my time to prove the type of wrestler I am to this large globe.”
Austin Aries begins to walk down the ramp. He clasps his hands together and begins to rub them.
Austin Aries: “I have come here to TVW to do one thing. That one thing is join the WWE to help take TNA out. To help finally end the company that threw me to the side that fateful day. To help bury the TNA Roster and the TNA Brand. I never want to see, hear, smell, or even touch anything or anyone that is apart of TNA. TNA disgusts me!”
Austin Aries walks to the bottom of the ramp. Austin looks up and points to the ring.
Austin Aries: “There she is.”
The cameraman turns to show an well lit empty ring.
Austin Aries: “The only thing I have ever loved. The main place where 'A Double' proves that he is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. Hell, its where I prove that I am 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived'. I get in that ring and I turn from the man you see now into 'A Double! The Greatest Man That Ever Lived!' Hopefully this is where I will be able to prove to the world that I don't need anyone or any promotion to help me. I got to this point on my own.”
Austin Aries begins to walk towards the steel steps. Austin takes a deep breath and slowly walks up the steps. Austin grabs the robes and walks toward the center of the ring. He raises his leg over the middle rope and climbs in. The cameraman walks up the steel steps and up to the apron. Austin is turned away from the camera staring at the WWE logo above the ring.
Austin Aries: “I have dreamed all my life of being in the WWE, and now I have the chance that only men dream of. The chance to get back and end the company that threw me away, the company that turned their back on me; and also live my dream of becoming a superstar. I am here to take what is mine and I am here to destroy anyone that gets in my way.”
Austin Aries turns back toward the camera.
Austin Aries: “I know that all of you will see what I can do. I can show my superb technical ability, my quick agility and the cardiovascular conditioning of an Iron-Man Triathlon Competitor. I am the in the best shape than any other wrestler on the roster. I could out work any of those fools in the back. I am The Most Valuable Vascular Vegetarian in this league. I would like for any of you out there to prove me wrong. I would like nothing more than to see someone from the WWE or TNA Roster come down here and try to prove I, Austin Aries wrong. Because until then. I am."
Austin Aries takes out his sunglasses from his Blazer pocket. Opens his sunglasses and puts them in front of the light and wipes the smudges off and places them on his face. Austin slides them up to cover his eyes.
Austin Aries: “I am, 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived!' ”
Austin Aries spreads his arms wide and raises his head high. The bright light behind shines on the lens and makes Austin have a white 'Angelic' glow. Austin walks towards the ropes and stands on the apron. Austin signals for the music as he starts to walk down the stairs. He signals for the cameraman to move in front of him. He begins to sing these lyrics along with the song as he walks up the ramp.
“I'm the best that you've ever had
I'm the tops, I'm the king
All the girls get up when I sing
I'm the meanest in the place
Step up, I'll mess with your face
I don't care where you are
Look up and follow this star”
Austin Aries points to himself at the top of the ramp and poses in front of the camera again. Austin then struts behind the curtain as the scene fades to black.
