The camera cuts in on Julianna DiMaria who is inside of a department store called “STABLES”. She finds herself completely amused as she holds a button in her hands and stands in front of a television screen that is about to air any words that Eron Hunter had to say about her.
“Okay then, it’s time to react to… well… anything that Commonwealth Champion Eron Hunter had to say about me. This should be rather amusing. I just HOPE for his own sake that he at least exceeded whatever drivel that Kirsty Mascara ever had to say about me. So… just run the footage for me alright… and don’t worry about the button, you’ll see where it comes into play…”
Julianna rolls her eyes as Eron’s promo begins to play. She doesn’t react when respect gets brought up at the start, but when he goes into calling what Julianna had to say a “bore fest”, Julianna smacks the button in her hand and the button says “BULL” right away.
“Stop it right there. You can’t talk about bore fests. Do you even watch your own promos, champ? You’ve ranted about the meaning of life and even expressed an apology if you were being boring in that same promo, almost as if you were self aware. Oh I’m sorry, does my way of presenting my promos intimidate you? I’m sorry that I don’t cut the same damn promo under the same damn backdrop and actually try to mix things up around here. Do I even need to get into how a carnival ride is literally one of the most fun things ever? Yeah total BULL on this one… let’s continue…”
The promo resumes. Julianna’s eyes grow heavy as she tries to find SOMETHING of substance. She shrugs off the “moon” comparison and openly sighs as he continues to drone on about his “bore fest” point. But when “generic narcissist” gets pointed out…
“BULL”
Julianna lets out an annoyed sigh.
“That’s ALL you have to say about me, guy? Let me ask you a question, okay. I’ve mentioned how YOU are such a bore in your own right quite a few times but… have I ever likened that to your chances of winning? I haven’t. Since you want to belabor a point that is WAY off base for one, let me ask you this really simple question. Does being entertaining in the ring win you matches? NO! And YOU of all people would know that because you’ve won matches in this company and you hold the title that you do IN SPITE of your clear lack of entertainment value. Yet, you continue to done on and on… ‘bore fest’ this… ‘bore fest’ that… like it MATTERS when the bell rings.
It DOESN’T! And you know, I’m not even going to beat the whole ‘bore fest’ thing to death because knowing how predictable you are, I BET that the rest of your promo and what you had to say about me CONTINUES to drone about this point ad nauseum. Let’s keep up with the footage and see if we’re right…”
Julianna goes back to watching the promo. As soon as she hears him say that he never played the sob story card…
“BULL”
“I’ve NEVER played the sob story card… says the fucking IDIOT that labeled their existence miserable… says the guy that complained about being written off in a promo going into the battle royal that they won their title in to begin with… says the guy that AFTER said match complained and cried about how he was battered and bruised for empty sympathy points and talked about how out of shape he was… TOTAL BULL…”
Julianna presses the “BULL” button again for good measure before she continues watching. She outright laughs when she hears Eron talk about how his life hasn’t been the easiest.
“EXACTLY MY POINT right there on the ‘never played the sob story’ card. I swear, it’s like I’m facing Kirsty Mascara all over again!”
The promo continues at this point and unfortunately for Julianna, there isn’t much else to laugh at though she is smirking at the fact that Eron is continuing to defend himself repeatedly, as if he seemed like he NEEDED to do that. Her eyes are staying closed for longer periods of time indicating that she is becoming completely bored by the recycled jargon that Eron is now saying. She presses the “BULL” button again upon the “generic villain number one thousand” comment.
“And up to this point in your promo, what point have you actually made that can convince ANYONE out there that you’re going to walk into Halifax and retain your title against me, huh? Up until THIS point in this promo that I am watching, you have made ZERO mention about Halifax, ZERO mention about our match, ZERO mention as to WHY you’re going to win, ZERO mention of what makes YOU the wrestler more likely to win and all you have done is defend yourself, quite poorly I might add, about some of the stuff that I’ve said about you trying to say that you’ve never done this and never said that when you do and say the same thing you CLAIM you didn’t in the same promo. Hell, up until this point, you haven’t even mentioned how you basically interrupted my celebration after my victory down in Sydney, stood on that ramp, pointed at ME and all but challenged ME! This was something YOU started and not ONCE have you made MENTION of what happened. With all due respect to the title you hold, I didn’t go into Sydney thinking ‘I’m going to earn a Commonwealth title shot”. I only went into it thinking of beating Kirsty and that’s it! Well let me tell you something Eron, trying to steal my thunder with your act is going to be SEVERELY costly for you…
Julianna lets out an angrier sigh as she makes her best effort to get through the remainder of Eron’s promo. When he mentions how Julianna is ‘not fighting mediocrity’ then moments later talks about not wanting to downplay her achievements, she busts out laughing…
“BULL… BULL… BULL…. BULL… BULL… BULL…”
Julianna throws the “BULL” button on the floor then orders the production assistant to cut the promo as she’s heard enough.
“So you call the opponents I’ve faced mediocre… which hi, thanks for taking a page right out of my playbook from before, then say ‘I don’t want to downplay your accomplishments’ when you’ve already downplayed my two wins here. I’ve heard enough at this point from you. HOW can you try to put down someone and label someone as a certain thing for whatever reason and then you go and do the SAME THING that you are saying makes that person this certain thing? By the way, did I miss anything by ending my viewing early? Did he even mention why he’d win, or Sydney or anything substantial?”
“No…” says the production assistant in the distance.
“Exactly! You clearly do not understand, Eron, that when you chose to show me up in Sydney, that you decided that you were going to pick a battle that you have no chance of winning. You see Eron, I AM going to beat you and become the new Commonwealth Champion because unlike YOU, I KNOW what the hell I’m about, I KNOW what my intentions are, I KNOW how to be consistent with my convictions and most of all, I don’t give a flying fuck about what other people think of me. I don’t need to get all up in my feelings to defend myself. I don’t need to be trying to shove any trite, mundane, unoriginal anecdotes and insults to make myself seem tougher than I actually am. In all honesty Eron? You’re a mere regency. You’re not what that title needs. You’re just someone that’s keeping the title warm until someone better comes along and six days from now, you won’t have to keep it warm anymore because I’M the SUPERIOR wrestler that the title has DESPERATELY needed! That title that you hold? It’s not the FIRST commonwealth that will experience a much needed change at the top in the last week.
But it’ll be the most significant because what this company is going to see is ME, in just my THIRD MATCH HERE, walking into Halifax and showing this company what a real champion should be. The truth of the matter is you’re all three of my previous opponents combined into one and that’s NOT a good thing considering you’re just as woebegone as Mascara and just as out of touch as Gibson and Howard! And as for me?
I’m OUT OF TIME analyzing your putrid dross and your empty words!”
Julianna begins to walk out of the “STABLES” store.
“Thank you for shopping at…”
Julianna flips the bird at the cashier, silencing him immediately as she walks through the doors.
“Okay then, it’s time to react to… well… anything that Commonwealth Champion Eron Hunter had to say about me. This should be rather amusing. I just HOPE for his own sake that he at least exceeded whatever drivel that Kirsty Mascara ever had to say about me.
