*The camera opens up on Lord Dominicus. He appears to be in one of those tourist-y ghost towns in the desert. Everything seems either hastily build or dating back to the US Civil War era. Dominicus is dressed a little oddly compared to normal. Sure, he’s wearing his mask and is shirtless. But instead of his usual tights he’s sporting black jeans. And he appears to be wearing a championship belt around his waist, though it’s on backwards so you can only see the snaps on the back side. Lord Dominicus’ shrill voice cuts through the mask.*
LD: Yes! It is I! Lord Dominicus! I am here in Xanadu!
*He gestures around himself, then throws his arms down angrily.*
LD: No! Of course not! That would be miserable! Instead I’m here in the harsh wastelands of the desert! The sun beats down on my HORRIFICALLY EVIL frame while I prepare for my match at Frenzy against Dravaka Drimstone for the EWF Superior Championship!
*As Lord Dominicus talks he gestures wildly at the camera like a Power Rangers villain.*
LD: Ah, but you’re probably asking, “Why would the LORD OF ALL THAT IS DARK find himself in the land of sunshine and nothing else?” That is a great question! You see a couple weeks ago I felt the presence of my beautiful consort appear within the confines of the XHF Network. Oh how long it has been since her and I have been together. Since then, I have been searching, leaving no stone unturned, until I have found my Lady…
*He gestures as though he’s looking around, with his hand blocking the sun. Then he straightens back up and looks to the camera.*
LD: And after a rigorous search I can confirm, she’s not here- in the desert that is. There’s nothing here. And speaking of nothing, I have a match to address!
*He holds up his finger almost maliciously if that were possible*
LD: Drimstone! You and I have been working our way through this tournament for the same reason, to be crowned as the greatest in the European Wrestling Foundation! Both of us are dark, both of us are evil, and both of us have names that focus around the letter D! But I have something you don’t!
*Slowly, Lord Dominicus lowers his arms and frames his hands around the belt on his waist. Still we don’t see the belt exactly, just the backside of it (the snaps and whatnot) but I mean; is he a champion elsewhere? Would he really be pathetic enough to buy a replica simply for the sake of a promo?*
LD: That’s right Dravaka! You may be a former three-time EWF Champion, but right now you are once again without the belt. I’ll give it to you that it wasn’t your fault- or was it? Consider this, if you were a better champion then maybe EWF wouldn’t have had to start up and stop and restart over and over again! Maybe it’s time that EWF gets a real champion! One who brings TRUE DARKNESS to EWF! Darkness that can be felt, darkness that clings on and forces you to keep going until you see the light! BUT YOU DON’T SEE THE LIGHT! Because that darkness is Lord Dominicus and keep going like the endless shadows of DANK DARKNESS!
*The lord of darkness stops for a moment as he retraces what he just said trying to see if it made sense. Eventually he nods to himself -good enough anyway.*
LD: But more importantly, I already have the belt! I mean, clearly that’s what I’m wearing right now!
*He repeatedly gestures at the large leather strap around his waist.*
LD: So for me, this is less of a grab at something I surely can’t have, but merely a defense against another worthless serf trying to prove himself. I mean, your name isn’t even that scary! It’s like Russian with marbles in your mouth trying to say “Drake Darkstone” or something silly like that. At leas-
*Suddenly a voice calls from off camera.*
“Hey ese! Are you going to be coming to the campfire tonight to sing “Kumbaya” with us agai-“
LD: SILENCE YOU INSOLENT PEON! I would rather tear my skin off than sing any such drivel with you!
“Ok man, jeez, just trying to be friendly man.”
LD: I need not your friendship!
*As Lord Dominicus yells off camera he seems to be trying to give the guy some sort of signal, but it’s completely incomprehensible.*
LD: Dravaka! You may be a million feet tall and pretty much unstoppable, but you’re not the REAL Lord Dominicus! You have never faced a foe like me, one of pure EVIL ENERGY! And you think that gives you an advantage, but it doesn’t!
*LD considers running at the camera, and even takes a couple of steps but then pulls back a little.*
LD: You see, I know that you are a man of darkness as well! But I feed upon your darkness, Drimstone. Your own evil only makes me more powerful! What say you to that!? Huh!?
*He points authoritatively*
LD: Yeah! That’s what I thought! So if you want to beat me you’ll have to be less-evil! Yes! By changing your ways, only then maybe you stand a chance against the greatest evil of them all!
*Lord Dominicus throws his arms into the air, leans back and lets out a hearty laugh.*
LD: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*He coughs a little as he regains his composure and points to the camera.*
LD: Dravaka Drimstone, come Saturday you will have a front-row seat to the culmination of the RISE OF DOMINICUS! And the dark evilness that I bring will spread all across the pathetic EWF! And you, you will be the champ that once was and never will be again. And I, I shall be the DARK KING OF EWF! The greatest Lord Dominicus! See you soon!
*The camera fades on LD as his shirtless upper body glistens in the hot desert sun*
LD: Yes! It is I! Lord Dominicus! I am here in Xanadu!
*He gestures around himself, then throws his arms down angrily.*
