For those in the school who have yet to promo yet, try to get a promo out this weekend. If you can't promo, then let me know. Then everything will be all fine.

@DemonHunter1257 - Jay Washington/Nightmare/Al Blizzard/Violet Harris
@Cerberus - Shaw (Promo doesn't count as it didn't match the scenario what-so-ever.)

Spoiler: Demon's Post

*An unfamiliar theme begins to echo through the arena and the lights are dark then at the words "CUT IT!" all the lights switch back on, in a blue colour, a hooded person walks out, they walk down the ramp, very slowly, once they get to ringside they circle the ring and when they get to the timekeepers' area they snatch a mic from the announcer and slide into the ring, they then lift the mic to his hooded head*

???: I'm here, your Nightmare is here!

*The crowd boo after this*

Nightmare: You wanted me to explain myself Mr general manager? Well guess what, I don't owe you an explanation!

*The crowd then boo again after this remark*

Nightmare: Fine, you want an explanation, I'll give it to you!

*Nightmare then takes off the hood to reveal a face painted face, a skull type face paint, he's smirks as the camera gets closer to him, he then returns to talking*

Nightmare: I didn't turn up because they aren't worth my time, the only people who are worth my time are those punks fighting for the intercontinental championship!

*The crowd boo*

Nightmare: I don't know what you germs are worried for? Are you worried I'll take the spotlight from your favourite people?

*The crowd boo*

Nightmare: You lot are pathetic! You know what, Jet Starr! If I don't get an intercontinental championship shot, I'm going to destroy this whole roster once and for all because, the re-branding didn't kill you somehow!

*Some crowd members "Ooh" at this and the rest boo*

Nightmare: I am going to win what is rightfully mine! You wanted me to explain did you Jet? Well guess what I'm explaining now, this isn't even an explanation, this is a demand, I want an intercontinental championship shot otherwise I will destroy this roster, even you Jet!

*The theme then starts again as the lights dim and Nightmare begins to get out of the ring and the screen fades to black*

Mentions:
@Jet Starr

This is my promo opportunity promo btw! Very short I know but not much needs to be said!

Spoiler: My Version

*An unfamiliar theme plays throughout the darkened arena. Then as the words "Cut It!" echo, blue lights illuminate the arena and a hooded man walks out. He gradually makes his way down the ramp, circling the arena before snatching a mic from the timekeeper's area. Finally they slip into the ring under the bottom rope, raising the mic to their hidden face as they slowly rise to their feet*

Nightmare: You wanted me to explain myself Mr. Starr? Why should I have to explain my actions when my reasoning should be blatantly obvious?

*The crowd boos in irritation*

Nightmare: Maybe I've held you people on too high of a podium. Or maybe...

*He begins to pull back his hood*

Nightmare: Maybe this just keeps you up at night, not allowing you to get the proper sleep in order to gather the intelligence needed in order to understand my methods.

*Nightmare fully pulls back his hood, revealing a skull painted face. As chants of "You look stupid!" sound off*

Nightmare: People have said that Ronald McDonald looks stupid. They've said that the Joker looks stupid. They've said that Krampus looks stupid! As stupid as these people may look from the onset, they've still managed to strike fear in people's hearts. Appearance doesn't cause nightmares. Actions cause nightmares. The paint, it is just there to give you something to picture at night before you awaken in cold-sweats, begging to never experience something so horrifying in reality.

*A slight grin appears on Nightmare's face*

Nightmare: I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news here...but those nightmares will become a reality. Last week I just decided to give you people another week of solace before the pain, before the suffering, before the agony....before the nightmares consume you.

*Boos echo from the crowd, but Nightmare seems unfazed*

Nightmare: It was my Christmas gift to all of you. The thing with this gift, though, is that it has an expiration date...

*The boos continue, even seeming to intensify, as Nightmare just looks deep into the camera, piercing it with his eyes*

Nightmare: Next week.. next week the nightmares are coming. And no amount of relaxation, no amount of dream catchers, and no amount of medication will prevent them.

*"Cut It!" once again echoes through the arena as the lights dim yet again. Nightmare just stands there, staring into the camera with a big grin on his face as the crowd continues to boo, before finally cutting to a commercial break*

This is what I'm talking about when I tell people to put just a bit more time and effort into their promos. Not only does it make your character more interesting, but it also prevents making repetitive mistakes such as "face painted face". Seriously guys, you don't have to post promos the second that the match card goes up or right before the results thread goes up. There is nearly a weeks time between the two. If you aren't good at putting out promos in one session, spend some time each day to edit and revise the promo until it feels like something that actually has the possibility of making on real pro-wrestling programming.

I want everyone to take a look at this promo that @DemonHunter1257 spent probably 2-3 minutes on, and then take a look at my version of the promo that it took me about 20-25 minutes to make. See just how much difference even a few extra minutes can make to a promo.

Yeah, don't be afraid to spend a little bit extra time to put in a good promo. There is a reason why I say for the school "If you can't promo let me know ahead of time and why then you will be excused." It's because I want to see what people can do when they put a little time in it. While in some ways it is better to get something than nothing, if you can't have the time put your best promo forward, then let me know ahead of the deadline. If you can't make the time, then I'm not going to force you. Just let me know and all is excused.

 

[Nostradamus]

Let me give my two cents. Promos in the backstage thread are those where a little less time can be put in. When it's a promo to advance a character or a story, spend a lot of time on it. I, for one, have usually taken anywhere from an hour to an entire day to write one decent promo. Good or great promos, like the ones some people here and some E-Fed people make, take time and practice, but a little effort goes a long way.

I can't tell you how many times I go over a promo once I think it's finished only to re-do everything

Confirmed. Ronald McDonald is scary as shit.
