Announcement (Bruiser)

[crossfire]

Cal Crossfire walks out into the arena some of the fans know who he is others don't, his entrance is met with a mixture of boos and cheers. Some see him as a big signing for APW, and others know that he is one mean son of a gun. Now dressed in a t-shirt and jeans the shirt half tucked in so you can see his designer belt buckle, he makes his way to the ring without making any contact with the fans he has one focus on his mind. Cal walks up the steps and enters the ring, and he receives a microphone from the ring announcer whom he fires a trademark Crossfire wink at

"Now some of you know me and some of you don't so for the benefit of those who don't my name is Cal Crossfire. Those who know me must be thinking why am I here? ... I'll get to that shortly but first I want to give a rundown on the state of Action Pack Wrestling..."

Cal pauses and readjusts his t-shirt

"I tuned in to APW about a month ago, and I saw potential in this company, a loyal fan base, great talent and most importantly fine females... It was then I realized that it was the females carrying this company, Nattie Roxx getting wins for the tag champions, Jennifer Drew and Lauren... Kennedy? Feuding providing some great entertainment, some guy who is a cross between the Rock and Curry man too some funny stuff but then I looked forward to seeing the world champion... I didn't see much from him at all, now tonight he announces that he is in hiding? Now I am no expert but that isn't how a champion should act... Is your life in danger? You forget to pay those gambling debts from your boxing days?"

Cal then pauses as people begin to boo him for trashing Joe Bruiser

"Calm down, you should be glad that I am here, I am going to make Joe Bruiser into a fighting champion or simple I am going to take that belt of his and add it too my collection. Now I know I am new and I shouldn't just demand a title shot, but face facts people I don't see anybody else stepping up who is championship material now? It seems that the title with the most interest in it is the Rose title, now a wrestling company with a backbone of women... For shame, no way in hell that is ever going to work"

Cal pauses for a moment, more boos come as it is clear Cal is only here for personal glory and to attack the other APW talent's abilities

"So Average Joe come on out and defend yourself, don't hide behind the tron"

[Jimmy Rivers]

Just then. Immogrant Song by Led Zepplin hits the pa, and Jimmy Rivers walks out. He's wearing his normal "Dallas Star" t-shirt, jeans and his trademark white cowboy hat. As he walks to the ring, fans expectedly boo the hell out of him. After Jimmy climbs into the ring, he looks at the shorter Cal Crossfire and nods, he then grabs a mic from a ringside official...

Cal Crossfire.... hmmm....where do I know that name from.....oh yeah, you the little punk who came out here lookin for a world title shot and ended up gettin his ass kicked by The Dallas Star....ya that's it...

Jimmy gets a bit closer to Cal to show that he wasn't at all intimidated by this newcomer...

See, there's a waiting list, and Cal, you're right at the back. Me, well I'm right near the front, why? because I'm pure talent, drive, and carisma. You, well as far as I can see, your just a short punk who thinks he's better than he actually is...

Jimmy gets right in Cal's face...

So if you don't mind, there's the locker room

Jimmy points up at the entrance...

So why don't you go on back there, and watch on as I challenge Bruiser for what I truly deserve...

[crossfire]

Cal can't help but laugh, after all he came out to challenge a man in a red fro. Then big ol' John Wayne wannabe strolls in and gets in his face, damn this Rivers needs to learn who he is talking to. Rivers ain't talking to no rookie he is talking to Cal Crossfire the man capable of a thousand upsets, a man capable of doing what it takes to get ahead in this business

"OK, now Jimmy you seem to have forgotten what cowboys do. Round up cattle, shoot some Indians and ride off into the sunset. So since you aren't a real cowboy, I guess Woody all I can ask is where is Buzz?"

Cal pauses as the crowd laugh at his cheap joke

"No, seriously where is the pull string... I wanna hear that line again..."

Cal walks around Rivers looking for the pull string and he doesn't find one

"There's a snake in my boot, go on say it boy. Come on it's what you are famous for Woody... Tell you what I'll play Buzz if it helps? To infinity... and beyond... Come on play along now, you can't be taken seriously all of your life. Let your hair down, after all you did finish you last line with a joke... Something about challenging for the world title? Well all I have to see is sunshine where were you before I got here? This world title has to be a sweet ride as there aren't any freakin' challengers"

Cal looks into the camera and lowers the mic

"Boy Bruiser you sure do have the sweet life as champion here"

Cal then looks back it Rivers and sees the hat, quick as a flash he yanks the hat off and keeps his distance from Rivers, Cal puts the hat on

"Yoink"
