Man that fight scene was intense between Wolverine and Lady Deathstryke. I'm sure that's what you were going for. Does this series center around Wolverine mainly because that's the point I keep getting from it.
Singer: Well it might feel that way to certain people, Wolverine certainly has been a central character..cuz Hugh Jackman brought something to the character people liked.
True, he acts like a jerk!
Yeah, but that's the character in a nutshell..a jerk to most people except those he cares for..and there's also a lot of mystery and intrigue surrounding him.
The reason I asked is, I think X3 should have Omega Red in it. It's the next logical step for Wolverine in my opinion.
Well I can't even tell Joe Cool what I'm doing next but you'll like it I'm sure. I planned on making this series a trilogy, so the third one is sure to be action packed.
Reporters want to interview the director, so Joe steps aside and lets him get his glory. Joe has better things to do anyway. He goes to his car and steps inside where he has a camcorder set up. He planned on doing a promo to Orb before he was invited to the premere of X2 by Singer himself, in exchange of course for tickets to ICW Annihilation. Joe turns on camera to record a homemade promo just for Orb.
X2 seems to be the sleeper blockbuster in my opinion. It's obviously going to be a big hit and many people are looking forward to it, but it's not getting as much media attention with all the other big superhero movies out or coming out, such as Daredevil or The Hulk. Why do I bring this up? My match with Orb is in many ways a sleeper blockbuster. It's going to be huge, and in fact I know many are looking forward to seeing Joe grapple with one of the bigger guys here in ICW, not to mention a former World Champ. The thing is, I've been in so many other matches, better matches, that they overshadow this match. This match is also just a match signed because Orb pissed me off, and it is overshadowed by my brother's first title defense in just 9 days at Safeco Field in Seattle, which I have all confidence that GI will pull through and win it. Before I get into my match, I want to make this message for GI, whom I haven't talked to much due to his recent increase in popularity..
I will have to admit, that I, Joe Cool, am a GI-nital. How can I not be? My brother's charisma equals, if not exceeds, my own. His talent is amazing. I taught him everything I knew...then he went to wrestling federations while I was in BTW, and he was taught things from other people. A torn ACL in his knee which kept him out for a year obviously hasn't kept him back, it's made him stronger. He's the ICW World Champion, beating another member of his generation of wrestlers, El Enigma, in a **** match. A year or so ago, when asked what could happen if Joe Cool ever fought GI, I would have laughed and remarked that my little brother still has some growing up to do and I could easily take him to his limit and win. Now? I'm not so sure.
It's not due to a decrease of my abilities, it's due to an increase of his. He's got moves that are innovative, he uses a few of the same I have, but he's modified others and molded them into his own. A superkick to the back of the head, pulled off correctly, can be a truly vicious thing. He calls it Severed, and with good reason. I think with the right force you could knock a guy's head clean off his shoulder's. I squared off with a samoan wrestler at an indy fed the other night, a tribute to his father, who also was a wrestler. Anyway, obviously being too big to lift up for a few of my trademark moves, and I couldn't keep him down long enough for the One Step Closer, guys were interfering left and right, I had to think fast. I pulled off the Severed, and that was enough to send that guy down for the 3 count. Here's a pic, for those who want to see Joe Cool in action in places other than ICW.
Yup it was fun. So I pinned the guy and that was it. How this instance, in fact, relates to Orb I'll get to in on minute. The fact of the matter is, GI is truly one of wrestling's greatest up-and-coming stars, just like I used to be. But enough of my tribute to a member of my family...let's talk about the other part of this video I'm putting on ICW TV..Orb.
Orb, your size is obviously going to be a subject of talk. How can it not be? You're huge! The name Orb is an understatement, you should be called Sphere! You're big, fat, and that's just about it. Normally I don't resort to useless name-calling, but I am obligated to have a little fun when talking about my opponent, aren't I? So expect many more fat jokes before I'm finished with this. Orb and I have quite a history, for those who don't know. I signed Orb to his ICW contract obviously, when he was briefly in our training facility brushing up on his skills. Unlike Vince, who loves the big guys, I don't normally hire the big guys unless I see something in them. Unfortunately on that day, I must have had something in my eye. Orb has no talent, he's just another big guy. He wins his matches because he's big. That's not talent, that's just a size advantage. Orb's size advantage, however, is not going to affect me, as I've shown with big guys in the past. Kanich fought me for nearly 40 minutes, I fought him like I'd do with anyone. While Orb is still larger in size, everyone has a weak point, no matter what size, and I will find Orb's, and expose it.
Weighing in at five hundred and ten pounds, you are certainly the biggest guy I've ever seen. Has my friend Brian Singer called you about playing The Blob in X3? haha..sorry couldn't resist. No actually I can resist, it's just a matter of me not wanting to. The jokes are so easy to spew out here Orb, do you realize that? Of course to avoid a constant downward spiral into childlike name-calling I'd better just get it out of my system. Warning, this is much like when Austin Powers got the fact the guy had a Mole out of his system in Goldmember....so here goes nothing..
Orb, when you haul ass, do you have to take two or more trips? Do you have friends help you out? Hey Orb, I heard one time you got stuck in the doorway, they had to grease up the sides and hold a twinkie in front of you just for you to get out! I heard you had a part-time job before you got into wrestling working at a movie theatre..as the screen! When you take an elevator, the only way it can go is down, even if it's on the first floor! When you sit down, the chair begs for mercy! If you were diagnosed with a flesh eating disease, the doctor would give you 5 years to live! Hey, our production guy was working on ICW magazine and told me we couldn't have Orb in it because his picture took up pages 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8! Ok I'm pretty much done...for now. Let's get to your two interviews about me.
Yeah I punked you out, along with your other fellow Hobos. It's not that hard to punk out a group of guys such as yourselves, in fact it would be harder to laugh at a clown than it would be to laugh at you. Of course I do this knowing simply none of you can do anything about it. Especially you, Orb. You may have gotten lucky and beat some nobody for the World title, but I'm not a nobody, and you cannot, and will not beat me. It's impossible really...I'm just that damn good, to steal a phrase from someone who isn't good at all.
On a side note, I've gotta get a new production crew if they keep spewing crap like that out, wasting their time instead of working on ICW's home video collection. Which, for a quick plug, ICW Retribution comes out April 28 on VHS and DVD, just one day before our PPV. Funny thing is, that's the show where El Enigma made you tap out Orb! A guy that's one fourth your size made you tap out. How is that possible? Did you just realize you hungry and had to leave ringside at once? It makes no sense to me honestly.
Orb, you couldn't get over if I walked out to the ring and said, This man Orb..is the best wrestler in the business. If I went out there and did that I'd get booed out of the building and my career would never be the same because every single person in attendance would know what I just said was bullshit. You say the referees give GI free reign in the ring, and well I certainly didn't see that when you got him counted out. Had he been given free reign the ref would have awarded the match to GI via interference from you!
You should listen to your manager, he seems to be the brains of the operation. You may have been "so-called" superstars, but that's where it ends. Orb, you're on one hell of a losing streak lately, whether you realize it or not. Let's look at the facts. You beat Dr. Grimwaltz and Ty friggin Massacre to earn your shot against GI. Ty's the Hardcore champ, sure, but he's not anything compared to people I should have placed in that match. You lost to Sinister the following week. Then, just last week, you and Phisch defeated Ty Massacre and Creeper, barely I might add. Now you are on a two weeks which will be nothing but losses for you. First, you will fight Joe Cool, The Smooth Criminal, The New Masterpiece, The Man Without Fear..so many nicknames that I've earned so little time. You'll be fighting me, and truly I will become a smooth criminal, moving around that ring with my speed and skill, then robbing you of the win with my expertise in the ring. I'll show you that I'm still the new masterpiece, which despite my size disadvantage, will still be able to blow the roof off of the arena with a great match. And of course, I do not fear you, I do not fear anything. I live up to my nicknames Orb and you'll soon see why. After I defeat you, you move on next week to ICW Annilhilation, such a clever name because my brother GI will "annilhilate" you! Then, who knows who you'll lose to.
Excuse me, let me retort Damon Knight's statement..."TRYING" to be a wrestler? Trying to be a wrestleR? Are you guys at ICW still on that kick? I've been a wrestler for close to five years now. If I'm trying to do anything still, it's being a president of a wrestling organization. Take a look at JoeCool.com, at my past accolmplishments. BTW was the fed back in the day, before politics ruined it. Politics ruin many things, in fact before I fixed things they nearly ruined ICW. I dominated that fed, hell I even ran it briefly. I've also won the US title in EPW, and the tag titles with my friend Darkrebel in UWFX. You say I can't even beat JJ, well I didn't lose to JJ. I'm confident however, that I can defeat you Orb. Look at you, you're nothing! A great amount of nothing, but nothing nonetheless. Remember Orb, good things come in small packages, which no matter what frame of mind you're in, means your shit outta luck. You can't beat me, you won't put me on the shelf.
I want you to think on this for a minute Orb. My track record at ICW may be poor, but let's think about it. I won two matches in which my own federation was on the line, I defeated AOD and Creeper, that doesn't say much, I know, but I still did. My losses? I lost to Armageddon in an Ironman match, barely. I was defeated by Gladiator, yes, but after nailing just about everything else on me and failing to get me to lose, it took a powerbomb through the top of a cell to keep me down for a 3 count. When I fought Arkangel and that other guy he was fighting, I wasn't pinned. When I fought Kanich, he fell out the cage door as he was falling unconscious, and we both went to the hospital afterward. Then that handicap match with Rocket and Enigma..well I beat Rocket..Enigma pinned me after a backstabbing from JJ. Mind you, these aren't excuses. I know I lost the matches, but I'm letting you know right now, it took a hell of a lot for these guys to come close to beating me, and it's a hell of a lot more than you are bringing to the table this Wednesday. What's that catchphrase of yours? "Beating me is damn near impossible"? Yeah that's pretty much working for you, it's damn near impossible for you to beat me. Maybe on the off chance I get DQ'd in my anger or counted out I could see you winning then, but that's not a win is it? That's a technicality.
Listen to what your saying..the HOBOS should have all the power? That's a contridiction in itself! That's like saying I should give up all of this and go work as a grill cook for a third rate fast food joint that no one gives a shit about! Care, Eclipse, Sinister, and YOU? It's downright laughable. I applaud your efforts to throw me off with humor before our match. But Orb, I'm almost sad to look at you, so sure of yourself that you'll beat me when you stand no chance. I'm half your size and yet I'm bigger than you, which itself is a contradiction, because you're pretty damn huge! My star shines bright still. It does not dim. I have offers to join other federations, but cannot due to my ICW obligations. Which is why I make the occasional challenge every now and then.
I have to keep the ring rust off, and that's what this match is, an oppurtunity to shake off any ring rust I've accululated since I had to resort to light training after my match with JJ, in which my neck was injured. My neck is 110% now of course, no need to worry about it. Orb, this match cannot be termed a classic. It can, however, be termed the biggest upset in ICW history. Why? Well you're the biggest guy in the fed, and it's obvious you'll be upset when I defeat you one, two, three..or even better..make you submit. You're just One Step Closer to another loss on your record as far as I'm concerned. Orb, I'm just presenting you with the facts. These aren't possibilities, these are realities. But I'm not telling you anything...that you don't already know.
Joe turns off the camera and places the tape into a box. Suddenly Joe gets a phone call on his cell.
Hello?
Joe?
Hey Mandy, how's it going?
Pretty good..considering the big news I have for you.
Big news huh? Go ahead and lay it on me I'm all ears.
Well, I'll just say it so I don't have to beat around the bush. Joe you're gonna be a daddy!
You're kidding.......Sonofabitch...you're not kidding....this is crazy....Hold on, Mandy, I'm on my way now.
The scene fades out as Joe starts the car up and speeds off, to check up on the very good news he recieved..
