Sully: Oh great... Who's this? A WOC Challenge?
JP: No, he's not on their roster, I think it's Jonathon Woodgate...
[ Of course, he's Jonathon Woodgate, a man known principally throughout his career as "the Down Under Destroyer",
although he's been absent from the mainstream wrestling scene for quite some time, and sports an entirely different look - He's evidently said
goodbye to the bleach blonde hair, and he's dressed extravagantly - A black Versaci suit with piercing blue pinstripes, and a pink Armani shirt with the first few buttons undone, comprise his attire. He also has Gucci sunglasses poised atop his scalp, and his hair is gelled into a subtle mohawk - He looks around at the crowd, who don't respond vocally, but are almost immediately given the the impression of a man oozing confidence. He wanders out to the ring, nonchalantly winking and grinning at fans as he makes his way down, before sliding into the ring and grabbing a mic. He begins to speak...]
Jonathon Woodgate: It feels good to be home.
Sully: This isn't Australia!!
JP: Shut up!!
[ Woodgate pauses and scans the stadium as a little grin creeps across his face. He soaks in the atmosphere of the open arena..
Jonathon Woodgate: Euphoric, even. The squared circle has always been my home, and now it's that of the Next Level Revolution which is to be graced with the elegant advance of the serpentine Sydney-sider.
[ Woodgate pauses again, strolling around the ring casually as he addresses the fans. His trademark intensity is noticeably absent. He is cool, calm, and continues to speak... ]
Jonathon Woodgate: Now most of you fans are probably new to the wrestling scene, and therefore have no idea who I am. See I've been out
of the game for quite some time in this country - How and why I've come back to the mainstream wrestling world,
is quite a remarkable story, and one you'll have the pleasure of understanding during the next few weeks, as my
character is unravelled, and those pesky clouds of enigma clear up - And I assure you they will.
See I could stand here and tell you a lot of things. I could say I'm the leanest, meanest fighting
machine to ever step into a ring, and a whole lot more. But, I won't.
Sully: Yay!! On to the next match!!
JP: Sully!!!
[ Woodgate pauses again, but there is no reaction - The fans are still confused.]
Jonathon Woodgate: Instead, I'll leave you, the fans of the NLR, with a message that will define not only my career in this federation,
but will leave some food for thought for wrestlers, suits, and fans alike. And that is, quite simply, that in life, but in this industry particularly,
actions speak louder than words. It's a little something that my experience in this business has taught me. Nothing is as it
seems people, cynicism can be the most potent weapon in this industry of ours, stronger than speed, strength, and guile put
together, because you can't judge people on what they say - Only what they do. So I'll leave you now, more confused than ever I'm sure,
but with some sort of twisted impression stamped down in your psyche. I'll slowly build on this in coming weeks, until all appears clear. Enjoy the show tonight, fans of the
Next Level Revolution, because soon this federation is never going to be the same. That, is my sole promise.
[ Woodgate drops his mic and briskly leaves the ring, without even having introduced himself. The fans are in an air of bewilderment... ]
