FLW

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show Soutter standing on London Bridge. Its dark, but a clear night, Soutter is leaning against the bridge barrier.

Soutter : I must admit, this is an unfortunate development. Old man Tanner is no longer among us it seems, and i would like to be the first to offer my condolences to the Tanner family. Adrian, if you would like to pull out of our match, to spend time with your family in these trying circumstances, i would more than understand.

That being said, I know it wont be the case, i know you'll be there, thats another trait of your family, no respect, for the living or the dead, but that suits me just fine, it doesn't bother me either way, whether i defeat you, or Cairo, its the same result, and truth be known, I'd prefer it to be you that i pin.

You see, i dont know what it is, but there is something abut beating a Tanner that just makes it all that sweeter. Its not like a normal win, its more than that, i feel it inside me, i dont know why, i mean, its not like its some big accomplishment, because everyone else beats the Tanners as well, so I'm not going to try and analyze it, instead i will just acknowledge that thats the way it is, and just enjoy the sensation of beating a Tanner within an inch of his life, but dont fear, i am a professional, and there is no chance of you joining your just departed gramps. I would never be that mean, the poor old bugger, he finally escapes the terrible Tanners, imagine how he would feel if a couple of days later, one of them was right up there with him again, poor old coot would think he was in hell.

Soutter reaches into his pocket and pulls out a chocolate bar.

Lets be frank shall we Tanner, you want to compare me to Paul Wight? The Big Show, listen turkey, that guy is over 7 ft tall, i am only 6'3. I know how intimidated you are by me, and how daunting a task it is for you to get in the ring with the Big Bad Bustling Bandit, i know my presence must just loom over you, so i can forgive you for thinking of me as that much taller than you, but if thats what you think now, wait till after, you'll be telling them hacks of brothers of yours that i must be at least EIGHT feet tall.

Soutter goes to have a bite of the chocolate bar, but it slips from his fingers, and falls into the water below.

DAMN IT!

Soutter looks down into the river and shrugs his shoulders, pulling another chocolate bar from his pocket, he smiles to the camera.

Now where was i, ahh yes, Adrian Tanner, look kid, its going to take more than a BB gun and a hand full of darts to take me out, and i dont give a toss, as these English would say, whether Christian is your Uncle, your brother, or your priest, fact is, if he gets in my face, he wont be able to accompany you anywhere for a hell of a long time.

And as for Bryant winning World titles, come on now, we all know in which feds they were, he always did like being the big fish in the small pond, fact is them places where he won them titles, couldn't afford half my salary.

Soutter takes a bit of his chocolate bar, as the scene fades to ............

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show a man in his mid twenties driving along an unknown road, its dark, and the road is deserted, he has the radio on and there is a commercial on for Coca Cola. There is an Elvis figurine dangling from the review mirror, and he smiles as it moves to the Coke jingle. The commercial then finishes and we hear....

Kyle Callaghan : Yo, yo, yo, this is Kyle Callaghan, and your tuned into Wrestle radio, 316 on your FM dial. We are joined tonight by Wrestling superstar, The Centre of attention, Soutter! Welcome big guy.

Soutter : Thanks Kyle, its been a while.

Kyle Callaghan : Too long.

Soutter : Its been too long for a lot of things for me, Too long since i have been in the ring. Too long since i have felt the rush of adrenaline before a big match. Too long since i have felt the blood of some poor sap splashing onto my face as i wail away at them. Too long since i have felt there bones breaking in my grasp. Its all been just too long!

Kyle Callaghan : But thats all about to change if what i hear is correct.

Soutter : Well, seeing as though what "you heard", is what i told you during that break, then yes, by some miracle, you hear right!

Kyle Callaghan : Ha, giving away all my ...........

Soutter : SHUT YOUR CAKE HOLE, TURKEY. I've got something to say, an announcement if you will! The rumors are true, The Big Bad Bustling Bandit is making his long awaited return to the ring!

Man in the car pumps his fist in the air in excitement, looses control of the car for a moment, then quickly grabs the steering wheel, regaining control of the vehicle.

Kyle Callaghan : Thats right folks, The Centre of Attention is making his return to the ring, and you heard it here first, on Wrestle Radio!

Soutter : I have signed on the dotted line for FLW, the IWA's European Region, and i'll tell ya, im excited. I am going to be competing exclusively with them, I'm back in the ring baby, where i belong!

Kyle Callaghan : I wanted to ask you about that. See all us fans know you as the kick as unstoppable competitor in the ring, but as of late, we have seen you spending most of your time in the back office working behind the scenes in the IWA.

Soutter : Yes, thats true Kyle, i have been spending a lot of time in the back office, too much, see, I'm a wrestler, first and foremost, and getting in that ring and being the best i can be is my number one priority, a few people may of forgotten what i am capable of, but they are in for the shock of there lives. See Kyle, what these guys dont get, is that this business means the world to me, and i will settle for nothing less than being Number ONE!

Kyle Callaghan : Great, i see there is a tournament been announced, and you are in it, what do you know about your upcoming opponents?

Soutter : Hmmm, not much Kyle, but really, what is there to know? Some Turkey named Cairo who thinks he knows every counter to every move ever made, give me a break, I'm going to be interested to see what his counter is for me kicking his ass!

And then we got Adrian Tanner Jr. Junior is right, you know Kyle, i have practically made a career out of humiliating Tanners, and this latest offering, the youngest of the bunch is going to be no exception. Tell me something, if his older more experienced brothers, Bryant and his "manager" Christian, couldn't do the job, hows this green rookie going to be able to.

Kyle Callaghan : You and the tanners have a very long and storied history, do you think they will be able to give young Adrian any information on you, and do you think Christian will try and get involved in the match?

Soutter : I'm sure they will be able to give him endless amounts of information on me, info on how to get there ass kicked that is! As for that turkey getting involved in my match, he wouldn't want to if he knows whats good for him, I'll knock his block off as soon as look at him.

It begins to rain and the driver turns on his wipers, listening intently as he continues driving down the highway.

Kyle Callaghan : Well, thanks for joining us big guy, hopefully it wont be as long till we see you again.

Soutter : You can count on it! This is my time, the era of Soutter is upon us, Europe style! Your looking, or for you fans out there in Radio land, listening to the number ONE man in this business today, and the first FLW European Heavyweight Champion, and i like it like that!

Scene fades with the driver smiling and the Elvis figurine bobbing up and down!

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show Soutter and his attorney Gavin Slater entering a taxi. Soutter has on blue denim jeans and a black suede jacket, Slater is wearing an expensive suit, and the taxi driver is a dead ringer for Saddam Hussain.

Soutter and Gavin look at each other after seeing the taxi driver, and then both nod there heads no.

Soutter : Melbourne airport thanks.

The driver nods his head and grunts something that neither Soutter or Slater can understand.

Gavin Slater : So boss, tell me again why we are riding in this shitbox taxi and flying to England in economy class with all the scum, when we have all these other superstars jetsetting it all around the world.

Forget them glory hound turkeys, travelling around like they are kings, getting out with the real people, thats what its all about Gavin, keeps me real, and keeps me hungry.

Your always hungry! Ha!

Gavin Slater has a little chuckle while Soutter looks out the window.

Yes i am. Thats what drives me, my hunger to be the best. You know, a lot of people look at me Gavin, and say i am to nice, and that i should toughen up, but they obviously have never been in the ring with me, because i might be a nice guy backstage, but get me in the ring, and i'll break some turkeys neck as soon as look at him.

What they need to do is look at the complete package, the biggest mistake people make is underestimating there enemy, and trust me, if you are scheduled to be my opponent, you are my Enemy!

They look at me and the see kindness, but they then mistake that kindness for weakness, and thats where they loose.

People today, they see rebels like Cyrus Williams and Andrew Sinclair running there mouth every time they open it, and think thats tough, that they are mean and angry, ha, i scoff at that, them kids are the type of fools i am talking about, they mistake kindness for weakness, but I'm not the one who is weak, its them pigs who try and force themselves on everyone, they have been frustrating me for a long time Gavin, and now i get a chance to vent all my anger, all my frustration, lucky for them two its not on them, and unlucky for a certain Adrian Tanner and Nick Cairo.

They should be a nice start for you, I'm looking forward to it, haven't seen in the ring for so long now, and im really looking forward to it.

Yeah, so am I. I am going to make mince meat of them turkeys! Cairo sits there telling us he isnt going to bore us with inane stories, when he had just finished doing that exact thing, listen Cairo, i dont care haw many gimmicks you have tried and failed, by the time i am through tossing you around the ring, you will look back on them failures like they were your crowning moments, which they will be in comparison to the shellacking i am going to hand out your way.

And as for Adrian Tanner, he sure is a Tanner, has the common family trait, scared witless of appearing on television, runs in there family, they love to join feds, but when it comes to making television appearance, they freeze up worse than that Ramvoldus trying to speak English.

Ha, what about these plane tickets though, surely we can get upgraded? I mean we have guys like James Ashcroft flying around in there own personal jets.

For the last time, i dont do things like they do. Them guys, they seem to live in there own little world, which is fine for them, but i am a man of the people, although it looks like we might owe Mr Ashcroft one, seems he is now the Super Hero, as opposed to Super villain he likes to portray himself as.

What do you mean?

I mean with Wembley Stadium, he really saved the day there, might have to reward him somehow, but we'll deal with that later, for now, i got me a tourney to worry about winning!

Scene fades with the taxi pulling up to the airport.

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show a backdrop of Buckingham Palace with the IWA Logo worked into the background. The scene then pans out to show Soutter standing behind a podium in front of the back drop, a group of reporters surrounding the front.

Reporter 1 : Mr Soutter, Edward Richards, London Times, what are your thoughts on the situation we have with Wembley Stadium and also Yankee Stadium?

Soutter : After many discussions with my legal counsel, i have been advised not to comment on that.

Reporter 2 : But Mr Soutter, what about the IWA PPV, Deadly Sins?

Yes, that is still going to take place as scheduled, but due to legal reasons, we are moving it to Old Trafford.

Reporter 2 : And why is that? Are you gentleman yielding to backstage pressure from som........

SHUT YOUR NECK TURKEY!

We are moving it because it makes sense, nothing more, now lets move onto more important issues, lets talk about something a bit more interesting, lets talk abut ME!

Soutter takes of his black suede jacket to reveal his FLW t-shirt. He cracks his neck and looks expectantly to the masses.

Edward Richards : OK, its been quite a while since you have competed, are you .....

YES, I am more than prepared. These two so called opponents of mine haven't a chance. I will chew them up and spit them out. Cairo hasn't a chance, he has gone missing completely, must be rethinking joining a fed that also has The Centre of Attention on the roster, i'll bet that turkey is looking back on all his past failures right now, and wondering just what the hell he has gotten himself into, and as for Tanner ........

Edward Richards : Yes, young Adrian Tanner has been seen, and he called you a Hypocrite, he called you fat and slow, said you couldn't put two moves together, and that your choice of location for promo's was lacking and repetitive.

Did he just.

Edward Richards : Well, not in them exact words, but that was the gist of it, yes.

Well, im shocked, i didn't think he had it in him, little Tanner finally grew a sack and made an appearance. Well, I'm staggered. Tell me something Adrian, if I'm so slow and don't know any moves, how do you explain the fact that i have totally owned your whole family in every match i have had with any of them.

Reporter 3 : Because they all suck!

Well, you got a point there. Tanner, you little Piss Ant, i have seen you only once, and allready i have had more than enough of you. Come match time turkey, your mine!

One thing i dont get about that turkey, is he has all these memento's and keeps talking about the first ever House of Destiny between Christian and myself, but his not so famous uncle Christian Tanner lost that match, and he lost it to yours truly, The Big Bad Bustling Bandit!

You know, being here in England reminds me how lucky i really am to be able to call myself an Australian, and a proud one at that!

We come over here to this cesspool of a country, and we destroy you English at everything there is, we beat you at cricket, we beat you at rugby, hell, we even beat you at Soccer. We have the No 1 ranked tennis player in the world, Lleyton Hewitt, and we have the soon to be Wimbledon Champion Mark Phillappoussis, we have the best swimmer in the world Ian Thorpe, and of course, how could we forget the Number ONE man in this business today, The Centre of Attention, SOUTTER!

Sure this may just be a normal three way match to both Cario and Tanner, but its more than that to me, its the first step on my way to the gold, its the first rung on the ladder to glory, and its the beginning of my journey toward the European Heavyweight Championship, yes, The Era of Soutter is right here in Europe, and i like it like that!

Fade to .................

[Soutter]

OOC : Have permission to use Steve Daniels in this promo

The scene opens up outside the Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester England. It is pouring rain, and i mean pouring, the shot zooms in to show Steve Daniels taking cover under a shelter, and then a big Cadillac is seen zooming past him, the car drives through a huge puddle of water, and it splashes all over Steve Daniels.

The Cadillac then stops and the window winds down and Soutter pops his head out the window.

GET OUT OF THE RAIN TURKEY, YOU'LL CATCH YOUR DEATH OUT THERE SOAKING LIKE THAT!

Soutter hammers it off sending another wave of water up all over Steve, who is screaming at the fading car.

Steve Daniels : FAT AUSSIE ..............

Scene fades back to Soutter in the Cadillac cackling like a mad man, he continues to laugh for a good minute or so, then takes a deep breath and sighs.

AHHHH, Thats almost as good as beating a Tanner!

Soutter has another little chuckle and continues driving along.

Wow, what a night, and what a match!

I loved every second of it, Tanner, Cairo, my hats off to the both of you, especially Tanner, man, i love going up against you, and i hope that we meet again real soon.

Now, onto business. William Zeeman, i dont know how you lucked it through to the semi's, but your luck just ran out!

You really think you have what it takes to go on and be a Heavyweight champion, please turkey, Cyrus Williams you aint!

You know, some guys are complaining in the back about these brackets, well, let me break it down for all you meatheads out there to stupid to understand it. The brackets are the way they are for a reason, we want a final thats going to draw money, and that is Me, The Centre of Attention, The Big Bad Bustling Bandit and the number ONE man in this business today, and the new guy on the block, who has everyone talking, The ASW man also known as Bill, going at it one on one in a match for the ages to determine the first FLW Heavyweight Champion

The rain keeps getting heavier, and Soutter turns the wipers onto full speed, and slows down a bit to concentrate on the road.

ZEEMAN! You might think i am getting ahead of myself and dismissing you, and you would be right, i am looking right past you, and heading straight into the final, but dont feel bad, lots of people come second to the Centre of Attention, its nothing to be ashamed of.

And ASW Man also known as Bill, ill see you in the final, and i like it like that!

Soutter sees a KFC and pulls into the drive through as the scene fades too .....................
