XWF & RUSH PROMO

#AloneAtProm

Bruce-- BRUCE!

Y-- Yes... my Tribal Chief?

I've been talking to you for about fifteen minutes now, Bruce... talking about RUSH... about XWF... hell, I even mentioned AWF. By the end of February, I'll be a World Champion in all three places. Do you understand the responsibility and pressure I'll be put under? In each of those promotions, I need to bring my A game. I need you by my side, Bruce. Hell, I need YOU to bring your A game, too.

Of course, my Tribal Chief.

THEN WHERE'S YOUR HEAD AT?

M-- my Tri--

ENOUGH! Who do you take me for, huh? I'm a charitable man. I am. However, this whole operation... it requires cooperation. I'm the Tribal Chief... The Head of the Table... I represent MY ENTIRE FAMILY! Do you know how much is on my plate right now? I just won a match in 5 seconds, Bruce. I'm getting calls from people begging me to be on their TV shows... on their podcasts... on their magazines. Then, I'm also getting called out every day of the damn week. I need you by my side ready to go... not in dream land.

I apologise, but--

There. Is. No. Buts... I need my Wise Man to step up... I need Bruce Dalton... my friend... scratch that... MY FAMILY... to return to his old self.

But Andrew Ree--

What now? Andrew Reed? He ain't even a concern to me, Bruce. I don't care about him. He means nothing to me. As far as I'm aware... I'm sending him back to where he came from... back to the retirement home.

Not just him... Evan Flowers too.

He's back? For more? I already beat the kid. What is he? A Masochist? Does he enjoy the pain?

He-- He wants to finish the story?

What story?

I don't know.

You don't know? Then why are you worried?

I-- I--

Yknow what? You worry too much. Maybe the doc should up your anti-anxiety med dosage.

...

...

He did say some things about you, though...

Like what...

He said your family doesn't trust you... that... THAT THEY HATE YOU!!!

What-- What even? My family and I get along great... we just had a barbecue last Sunday. You were there. YOU WERE THERE, BRUCE!

I was... I was...

We get along great. Right, Brolo??

:+1: :neutral_face:

He insulted your physique, too!

These muscles made me become champion all over the globe. What an embarrassing statement.

Then he stated that the Bullet Club is--

Bruce, I heard enough. Evan Flowers doesn't even need me to face him to embarrass him again. He does so himself. Hell, he's embarrassing XWF too. After I beat him... I don't wanna hear his name ever again. Who does he think he is talking about my family like that? Y'know what? At least I have one, Bruce. What does Evan have? A bunch of dorks who look like emo Power Rangers. The Bullet Club. Those idiots think they are the hottest thing in wrestling... but what have they done? Realistically? Nothing. That's what the Bullet Club is. Nothing. The Bullet Club vs. The Bloodline was meant to be a money match, Bruce. We were gonna make ourselves and XWF rich. However, with guys like Evan being the face of the group... having them on the Roster might as well be flushing money down the drain.

Look--

Nah. I'm angry now, Bruce. I do all this hard work to put XWF on the map-- ME! Cause who else will? There's nobody on my callibre in that locker room! All my hard work... and for what? So they can keep hiring guys like Evan Flowers? Bullet Club has done nothing on the wrestling circuit. That's a fact. However, what has Evan done? Genuinely, nothing that is even worth mentioning. Hell, I'd argue the only reason he's got a spot in XWF is cause of who his daddy was. Evan smells of nepotism.

Look, maybe we should change--

Change subject? You started this. Who else am I facing? Andrew Reed? In RUSH, right?

Yes, my Tribal Chief.

He's pissing me off, too. Simply for existing. WHY JUST WHY DO ALL THESE FOOLS KEEP COMING BACK TO MY INDUSTRY!? Y'know what? I wish Kenny Boltzmega finished the job in AZW... I wish he did us all a favour and made sure Andrew was six feet deep... at least I'd have the weekend off... but no... Andrew just couldn't stay down and enjoy retirement... he just couldn't accept his time has come... he just had to come back for 'one last ride.' For what? Now I have to suffer... now I have to turn another wrestling 'Legend' into a joke... NOW I HAVE TO WALK OUT OF ALONE AT PROM WITH BLOOD ON MY HANDS... IS IT SO HARD TO ENJOY RETIREMENT!!??

My Tribal--

What am I supposed to tell my kids, Bruce? My wife, too? I'm supposed to be out here setting an example to them, but instead, I'm out here fighting Grandpa's like some sort of sadist.

They know... they know, my Tribal Chief. They know you don't have a choice.

Screw it. I'll do what has to be done. The American Dragon brought it on himself. Bad choice after bad choice. That's Andrew's career summed up in a nutshell. Yknow what? Let me give you some free advice... get comfortable cause I'm gonna talk to you like I'm an elder and you're my son. Go back to your family. Enjoy retirement... cause maybe Boltzmega didn't finish the job... but I certainly will.

See y'all soon.
