A large media room is filled with reporters scurrying around with note pads and pens in their hands. Rabid ICW fans are sitting in the back with a guard rail blocking them from the stage. Each reporter is trying to find out information as to why this press conference was called for. Reporters speculate on if the conference is about a new signing or perhaps a change in ownership. The chatter is loud. Photographers and video cameraman set up their equipment in front of a large stage where a brown podium stands in the middle of the stage. A microphone is attached to the podium.
Suddenly the chatter stops. The intimating body guard Albert appears on the stage with Commissioner Todd Gordon by his side. Gordon steps up onto the podium and leans into the microphone.
Gordon: Media please take your seats. We are about to bring out owner Ted DiBiase as well as the reason for this press conference. Again please take your seats and be quiet.
The reporters squirm to their seats. A few moments later Mr. DiBiase dawned in a nice pinstriped suit makes his way onto the stage. Soon following him is a man who is very recognizable from the media. He is wearing a white t-shirt with blue jeans and a Toronto Blue Jays cap on his head. A few media members gasp in surprise as DiBiase makes his way to the podium and up the microphone.
DiBiase: Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the media, and fans of ICW, when I took over this company I had a vision. That vision was to be the number one wrestling promotion around the world. We have accomplished that in not even a full year. We have brought the wrestling world excellent matches and unforgettable moments these past 5 months.
*Dramatic pause*
DiBiase: I have called for this press conference today to inform the wrestling world that ICW bought out Real Deal productions…
Slight gasp from the crowd....
DiBiase: We have had past business with Real Deal productions and our brief partnership proved to be nothing but pleasurable. The owner of Real Deal Productions, Mr. Real Deal, has decided to sell his entire franchise to ICW. In return, ICW has given Mr. Real Deal a contract to have a dual role, that being a special advisor to myself as well as head booker of our development league, ICW Underground.
*Dramatic pause*
DiBiase: Some other big news is that ICW has decided to air on the USA network a one hour television program of ICW: Underground. Mr. Real Deal will be the head booker of Underground. We have full confidence in his abilities to put on excellent shows. It is my personal belief that ICW has gotten stronger with Mr. Real Deal on our side. His knowledge is well valued to our company and we believe in him. Now, let me turn the microphone to the man of the hour, Mr. Real Deal.
The Real Deal walks to the podium as the news reporters, journalists and fans are applauding. He nods in an appreciation and grins. On his way to the podium he shakes hands with both Ted DiBiase and Todd Gordon’s. He is wearing a white t-shirt that in red letters says: “Heaven won’t take me and Hell’s afraid I’ll takeover”
Real Deal: Thank you so much, and thank you for coming. Most of all I’d like to thank DiBiase, for giving me this wonderful job opportunity. Give some applause once again for Mr. Ted DiBiase!
Fans applaud and DiBiase smiles and nods. Real Deal continues
Real Deal: As most of you know, I am-well used to be- the acclaimed owner of the Real Deal Productions. The last actual successful Real Deal production was Ass Kick Wrestling. But now… now I am involved with Intense Championship Wrestling and next week when the first ever Underground airs, it will be no doubt off the hook! Another show that is coming up THIS WEEKEND, is WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. I have no part in that, but as you all know, what a kick ass card it is! I know this will be a long term partnership, if not, a never ending partnership, so let’s here some cheers for that baby!
Fans cheer and the news reports and journalists clap.
Real Deal: That’s it for me, thank you.
Once again a nice hand of applause for Real Deal is heard as he takes his seat. Commissioner Todd Gordon goes up the microphone to speak
.Todd Gordon: We would like to thank you fans and members of the media for coming out here. As you know this Sunday ICW will air When Worlds Collide live on Pay Per View so make sure not to miss it. We are confident that our signing on Mr. Real Deal will not be regrettable and we are exciting to see what will happen in the future. Again thank you.
Todd turns his head and looks at Albert.
Todd: Mr. Albert please tell the fans and reporters where the door is.
Albert heads to the podium, leans down, and speaks into the microphone.
Albert: Its that way. Go… GO!
The fans and media file out of their seats as we fade out.
