*The camera slowly pans through a silent and still apartment. We hear a click.*
*A tone sounds as the camera continues its journey. The living room is a combination of areas for recreation (couch, television) while also being filled with various exercise equipment. The voice of Randy Angel of J-ROK comes on.*
Randy: Uh…hello? Is this thing on? This is Randy Angel, Nelly’s brother. I wanted to call in to apologize because Nelly won’t be able to cut a promo this week- and that’s on me. Look, all I’m saying is that international phone calls can be rough when you factor in time zones.
*The elder Angel’s voice works somewhat on contrast to the very serene setting of the apartment. We’ve slowly made our way toward the kitchen, which seems to be incredibly clean if not barely used (by comparison to the living room*
Randy: But hey yeah. Again, my fault. I call in the middle of the night for you guys and whatnot, Nelly tries to not call me a miserable drunk, I ramble, he talks about his concerns, I talk about whatever is on my mind at the time for hours. And he listens, you know?
*The camera starts making its way to a corner niche where you can see a washer/dryer (stacked)*
Randy: And maybe that’s what makes him so good. Nelly listens. I mean, I know he’s not the most interesting guy- but he takes the time to listen to others and to hear them out. Maybe that’s why he’s such a good teacher for the FWA trainees. Yeah, I heard about that- in fact I hear a lot about that. He’s really passionate.
*We slowly move over an uninteresting table likely used for eating, though it’s also largely untouched. In fairness, most of this apartment seems to not get a lot of use aside from the exercise equipment.*
Randy: I’m rambling. Sorry, I’ve had a few. I heard Nelly is taking on one of the Graham’s- not like the main one but another. I know what that’s about. Nelly made a real good name for himself in the XHF and I have come in and sort of- I don’t wanna say ridden his coattails but I’ve also had a lot to drink and don’t know another term. Were it Nelly versus Randy I know that Nelly has more than enough talent to overcome my raw power.
*The camera makes its way down a hallway.*
Randy: So this other Graham, what’s his name? Uh…Ryan? Look I’ve got nothing against the guy because I’ve never met him but uh….screw him. Screw that guy because my brother works too hard and pushes himself too much to lose to some secondary guy like him. And I’d know! I’m the “other Angel”! Most of the time anyway. That’s ok though, I’ve got more than enough room to grow in Japan and Nelly is doing his thing in Canada. He’s a good guy, better than most and I think people forget that because he’s putting so much effort into training a new generation of wrestlers.
*Through a door into a room with the sun shining through the closed blinds*
Randy: Nelly is really good. Maybe the best. I’m probably biased but that comes with the territory. I really want him to come to Japan. I’ll let him be the main guy. He could run Natural Selection if he wanted. But for some reason he’s loyal to you folk in Canada. I don’t’ get it but hey that’s Nelly.
*Speaking of Nelly, we find him sleeping comfortably on his bed. He’s totally knocked out.*
Randy: Anyway, I just wanted to call to apologize for screwing things up. If he isn’t able to cut a promo because he’s too busy catching up on sleep, working out, handling the production for the XHF Network and training students- that’s on me. I know he worries about that stuff and wants to show everyone his best face. But he’s a busy guy and there’s a lot of pressure on him, some of it he puts on himself because he cares so much. But know this FWA and whoever is listening. Come whatever day the FWA Anniversary or whatever the show is called- Nelly will be doing what he always does. He’s going to give his all and when all is said and done, I bet Ryan Graham will be just another bottle on the floor. Which, if my apartment carpet is any judge of- is one of very many empty vessels. Go Nelly! Bye!
*Click for the hang up and fade out.*
"Hi. This is Solomon Graham, owner of the Fullmetal Wrestling Alliance, which you've managed to reach! If you're hearing this, that means something catastrophic has happened, I'm now dead and the FWA is run by Aldo from Planet Of The Apes. Leave a message!"
