Showcase Announcement {Open}

[warrior]

Warrior gets a smirk on his face, even though you can't really tell for the simple fact he has his red mask on. He starts to get nervous as he finally realizes he won't make the cut, and should back down now. However, he doesn't really like to quit right away.

"You know Casey? You have a DAMN good point. Now, as to why I deserve to be in the match? (You suck chants start up once more) I can tell you this much. I can put on one hell of a show. Win, Lose, or Draw...And you know what?...SHUT UP!!! (shut up being directed towards the You suck fans...)

Warrior can tell the Angels wouldn't pick him, even if APW depended on it. He began seeing Casey's eyes roll as well...Fans also immediatly booing Warrior for the whole Shut up deal...

Look, lets face it...I am a rising star, OK? Ever since I was a small child, all I wanted to do was wrestle, however no one cares about that, no because we are talking about the future...And I realize that I don't have any "Career Highlights" Under my belt, but all I can say for my case is that...I am willing to put life and limb on the line...Think about it like this...Ever since I got here, I have been in an Ironman Match with King Vegas...a Hardcore match with Skullinator, a hardcore tag team match with Nolan against Mariano and Storm...and finally, I am going to be in a First blood match, to where the loser has to where his underwear only next week...What more do you need?


Warrior felt even more confident now that he has proven his case, however, he still didn't feel confident enough...

[cl]

<~Camille STILL cannot help but wonder when she's getting the cashews she asked for.Le nerve of peanut vendors these days.Yet,they are a rather vocal people,they'd need to be for that line of work she supposes.~>

[warrior]

Warrior took a sigh as long with a thought....Why is she talking to me?

I'm Sorry, do you even speak english or do you have a french dictionary by you? Ya know what? I'm done talking. It's just about time I take my leave...

The fans start cheering because of his leave as well as chanting nah nah nah nah....nah nah nah nah hey hey hey...goodbye repeadly as how I am a heel..."Stricken" plays back up as he mouths the words "Choose me and prove people wrong" To the Angels...

[cl]

<~Talking?Sacre bleu,he's a mind reader too?Who knew?She didn't think she uttered a single word,or sound for that matter.She watched the peanut vendor leave,a frown across her face as she wasn't given what she asked for.It is not like she wasn't going to pay le man. ~>

<~Three down with another three to go?Or will the prized 12 be announced here and now?One thing is clear,a dragon, a blonde bimbo,and Mother nature herself have been placed into the upcoming fray.Only in le world of professional wrestling will one see such things. ~>

[heaven]

Well I guess its my turn to pick the final two competitors in this match. But who to pick hrmm

Chantell takes her time deciding who to pick, though it looks as if her mind is already made up and she is just trying to draw suspense to the situation

Warrior, Skullinator, Taylor & Lindsay. Now...I am going to pick....

Once again another pause from the Angel of Violence as she plays with their emotions

Michael Taylor & Warrior. You are going to be the final two wrestlers in this ladder match. The rest will need to wait till next weeks ladder match. Better luck next time boys and girls

["Ironman" Michael Taylor]

Taylor smirks upon hearing the news. Looks like he would get to teach the new guy a lesson after all. He gives Chantell a nod, turning around afterwards. He looked at the competition in the ring. He chuckled, then made his way through the ropes on the same side he had entered. He looked back at his future opponents in the ring as he made his way to the ramp. He walked slowly toward the stage, not looking back again. He passed by Lindsay with a nod to her, never saying a word. The cockiness in his actions said it all. He was confident he could pull the win off. He had to. He disappears through the black curtain, leaving everyone else behind in the arena.

[Casey Angel]

Slowly, the microphone in her hands reach her lips after Chantell's announcement. It was time to choose another.

Now that this week is out of the way, how about we start on next week girls?

She looked to both of her sisters, standing between them as always to prevent a fight. Neither gave an answer, but she already had her mind set to pick her next person anyway. She looks to the stage with a smile gracing her face.

Miss Corban, you shall be my first pick for the Stairway To Heaven match next week. A former NationWide Champion and quite the established superstar here in APW. I think you will be an excellent choice to represent us. Do me proud, hm?

She lowers the microphone, a smile in the corner of her mouth as she looks at both of her sisters, proud of her choice. She waits for one of them to make their next selection OR was it for someone else to plead their case? Only time would tell. Her arms fold over her chest as her patience kicks in.

[Corona]

Bleed it out by Linkin Park hits as Cruz Corona walks out from the back. A microphone in his hand, he brought it up to his face.

Hello Angles how are you lovely ladies doing tonight?

Corona paused for a bit and then went on.

I was in the back watching as all of the other wrestlers, came out here and plead their case. And I was wanting to know. If you were accepting people for next weeks match? Because if you are I would like to be one of the people you choose for the match.

Corona waits for someone to reply

[jdiamond]

Diamond music hits the PA and he makes his way down to the ring with a microphone

Ladies Im james diamond the next superstar to be chosen into the stairway to heaven ladder match, Now you wondering why should you choose me, well This is a great oppourtunity to show every damn one of these fans and all the Suprstars in the back and most importantly you three and this is all i need to prove i aint worthless so give me the chance. Thats if your accepting more talent into the match

Diamond eargerly waits for a reply from one of the three sisters

[Jennifer Drew]

It was getting a little crowded everywhere now so when “For the Workforce, Drowning” hits over the PA everyone looks around for a moment. Eventually the camera and the fans fix their eyes on Jennifer Drew who was coming down to the ring through the crowd. Luckily she had ingratiated herself enough not to get punched in the face when she did. She hops the security rail and hangs back on the floor by the announce tables.

Angels, there’s a lady who’s sure, all that glitters is gold, and her name is Jennifer Drew. And since you’re giving us this chance I’m going to take it.

I was sitting backstage and I heard there was another chance at the big main event and I was interested Then I heard six person ladder match to qualify, and I think it’s pretty well known how I feel about mayhem. Plus, hello ladder matches, kind of my thing. Then I heard if you win, you become the Gravedigger. How awesome is that? It’s a free gimmick and a ticket to the main event of the biggest show of the year.

So I heard you were having this Stairway to Heaven ladder match at Full Throttle and all I could think was “and I get to come out with a Zepp reference?” So I had to come out here, I had to show you Angels that I want this, as if you couldn’t tell already.

You shouldn’t even call it the Six Feet Deep Gravedigger Match. You should just call it Jenny bait, because I can’t resist this. I want the chance to take it to the big game… Over. So, in conclusion Angels I just want to say pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me. Also, pick me.

She points at herself a few times, in case they didn’t quite get it.

[Corona]

Corona was sick of waiting for an answer. So he brought his mic up to his lips and spoke.

So if you ladies aren't going to answer me then. I'll just go ahead and give you my reason why I should be in this match. I've been here for a few months, and all I've got to show for it is a long losing streak and a short Tag Team title reign. I just want in this match so I can prove to everybody that I have what it take to hang here in APW. I'm not just some random jobber that comes out gets beat then leaves. I'm here to fight and get to the top, no matter who I have to take out to get there.

He lowered his mic and began to pace, waiting for someone to speak.

[heaven]

Jen. Welcome to the match my dear. You are my pick to join our Stairway to Heaven Match this week on Full Throttle. I think we need a bit more female influence in this match anyways. But, if nobody wants to step up to a plate for a chance to MAIN EVENT, APW's biggest event, then people need to get their priorities straight.

By the way Jen, Love the new look.

[jdiamond]

Wait one second im still waiting on decision this match could be the deciding factor of my carrer here in APW and i know the fans could care less if i left but i reall could give a shit what they think, i need to be in this match and im goin to repeat myself because im want to gain this oppurtunity to become the gravdigger as its a great oppourtunity, to catapult myself above the more established superstars in this company

James waits for a reply this decision would not affect although it would be a great chance to show everyone that he isnt worthless to this company

[Mark Cross]

Before anyone else can speak again a very familiar music hits the arena as Enemy by Sevendust starts to play. Mark Cross appears on stage after a single blast of pyro and makes his way down to the ring followed by the cheers of the fans. He looks everyone in the ring over before getting a mic of his own and beginning to speak.

So you want to pick people for this ladder match of yours, and on the line a spot in the main event at the final pay-per-view of the year. Well who better for something like this than a man that has be wrestling for sixteen years now, who better than a man that has held gold in every company he has ever worked for, a man whose name is recognized by wrestling fans worldwide, who better than me Mark Cross.

The fans begin cheering once more as they hear Mark officialy put his name into this for consideration in the gravedigger qualifiying match.

You want this match, the gravedigger match itself, and the main event at the end of the year to really pack a punch then all you need do is put me in this and let me handle the rest. I've proven over the years that I can deliver time and time again Angels, so it really is as simple as adding me in to give this match all the kick it really needs.

A decision that couldn't have been easy for the Angels before was no oubt just mad harder as Mark threw his name into things.

[nolanrox]

What do you know, My Way plays everywhere and Nolanrox comes out to the ring. He doesn't feel like jumping so he makes an X with his arms, right then the pyro goes up. Still not used to that...He's wearing some new attire and some face paint that glows, he is such a straight edge fan. His new attire consists of his new tattoos, some face paint, the sprite logo tattooed on his left bicep, the sewing tattoo on the other and his tiki spin tattoo on his back. He has a black tank top and it has his green heart and skull logo on it. He has green pants with a yellow design and yellow boots. Nolanrox then takes a mic and starts to speak.

[glow=red,2,300]Wow, a ladder match! I haven't done one of those since my other fed...and of course I won....Ya, no one knows what the other place was like. It was a double title, winner gets to pick which title, runner-up takes extra, and the loser is just a loser. But anyway, The Gravedigger sounds like something I could get used too. I'd probably go by that if I win. But there are a couple reason why I, Nolanrox, should be in it.[/glow]

Nolanrox pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket and starts to read.

[glow=red,2,300]One, I have Rox in my name, which proves I do rock *Nolanrox winks* Two, I beat Warrior, sucks for him, and Diamond, the meth-head. Three, I think this will give me the chance to finally get some respect around here. And last four, I rock.[/glow]

Nolanrox throws the list to the floor and awaits for an answer to see if he's in or not. Then he realizes he forgot one thing on the list. He picks it up and reads the last one.

[glow=red,2,300]Sorry, I forgot about 5. Five, If I win, I doubt I will, I would liked to be crowned be a person of my choosing...No I'm just kidding. Its really, I wish everybody good luck in this weeks match and congrats to Joe who won the first qualifier. So ya, thats it.[/glow]

Nolanrox folds up the piece of paper and puts it back in his pocket, he not looking where he's putting it and drops it on the ground. He feels a little embarrassed and puts the piece of paper in his pocket, making it in his pocket finally, it took 2 tries this time, this is a record for shortest times of trying to put a folded piece of paper in my pocket for Nolanrox.

[Michelle Tosso]

Michelle has been watching EVERY one of them people come out and either bitch or actually prove they belong.

[glow=blue,2,300]Angels, I have seen some REALLY good people come out here and actually prove that they belong in the match by speaking out. But I have something that NOT MANY of those people have, that is EXPERIENCE. I have done ALOT in my short time here in the APW and I am the youngest Rose Champion like EVER. I have not only the verbal skills to belong in this match but the experience as well and LOTS of it. Nothing against anyone else who has come out here to try out but not many of you have the experience to belong in this match, but that is just my opinion.[/glow]

Michelle pauses and smiles and giggles.

[glow=blue,2,300]So I SHOULD belong in this Ladder match as one of the final 2 wrestlers Angels. [/glow]

Michelle waits to see if she will get picked to be one of the final 2.

[lindsay]

It seemed the Angels wanted to feel important, needed a little ass kissing did they? Couldn't look over the season and see who the REAL talent is? Lindsay let out a sigh as she stepped onto the stage. Ass kissing for a match all these people should be ashamed. Biggest event of the year...hardly, it became the least important event of the year in her mind. A match based all around sucking up the angels purely pathetic. Cascada hit the PA and Lindsay stepped out onto the stage. The fans went crazy, didn't they always? Lindsay smiled and raised a mic to her lips, the crowd hushing just as she did. With her music now cut off, she began to speak.

So APW, here I am, You two time and current Nationwide champion.

The crowd begins to cheer wildly. Lindsay has to put a hand up just to quiet them. A sly smile appears on her face.

Now, most would be expecting me to come out here and beg and plead and tell the angels why i deserve to be in the grave digger qualifier...BUT, you all know me. I will never kiss someones ass just to get into a match. First of all i think it makes the entire match look like a joke, I mean for one it excludes our resident down syndrome children like Nolan and Warrior. It doesn't show who has the talent, who deserves to be in these matches. Just purely who has the biggest mouth. And after seeing who made it into last weeks match, I gotta say, some of the biggest mouths in APW were in that match. You know those long winded say a lot but say nothing at the same time people. Yeah you all know I am talking about.

Lindsay smiles as a few yeahs and we love you Lindsay's come from the crowd.

I'm not gonna stand here and tell the Angels why i should be in this match, if THEY don't know why i should be in this match, then they are completely idiotic and shouldn't be running a company. I mean look at last weeks match, the only one of them who has ever held gold, was Mr. Bruiser...and who won again? Thats right. And it was a damn well deserved victory, he has put himself on the line day in and day out. One of the true champions in APW. Now I'd really like to see you Angel make some better picks this week. Get some REAL wrestlers in the ring, so you can finally get some good ratings. God knows having Warrior in last weeks match killed APW's ratings. So make the smart choice angels, pick the talent over the mouth. Or be ready to have the most boring, and pointless end of the season main event.

Lindsay drops her mic and throws her arms in the air waving to the fans. She said what she needed to say. She could care less what happened now. She knew she deserved to be in the match. The Angels knew she did to. If they didn't pick one of the most dominate Roses here to be in that match...then they were just killing themselves.

[Candice Angel]

$-This entire process had begun to become tedious and a bit agitating to Candi. Which was evident by the rolling of her eyes every few seconds, hearing egotistical reply after egotistical reply. She saw an opportunity to speed things along with another pick for herself and raised her microphone to her lips to speak again.-$

"Alright boys and girls. In the spirit of giving someone a "chance" when they, and I quote "I just want in this match so I can prove to everybody that I have what it take to hang here in APW."...I think it's only right to have someone who clearly has shown what perseverance is here in APW."

"My next selection? Mr. Cruz Corona! Please, do me proud and don't let this selection to be in vain hm?"

[Casey Angel]

Before anyone else could say their piece, Casey raised her microphone up, knowing that there had indeed been a few who had impressed her already. She was ready for her final selection.

It must be my turn then. My final selection, hm? Who shall it be?

She took a moment to look at each of those who had not been selected yet. She knew who she wanted in the match. She only wanted to add to their suspense first. After carefully looking to each person, she decided the time was right.

My next selection? It's going to raise the stakes. He is quite close with my previous selection after all.

She gives Lindsay a wink before turning to Mark Cross.

Welcome to the match Mark. Do your best! Remember, everything is on the line here!

[Corona]

A wide grin ran across Cruz's face as Candice Angel called his name. Ecstatic about being pick, he spoke into his microphone.

Thank you so much Miss Candice. I will not let you down on this. Thank you.

Corona lowered his microphone and walked back stage. His grin still plastered on his face.
