FPV Promo #5 - An Odd Request
FPV: Thank you. I know this is a bit of a weird request to ask.
Construction Worker: It sure is. I don't even know if I'm allowed to let you do this.
It was mid day in the city of Honolulu, Hawaii. I was cruising along the city on my brand new Cherry Red Harley Davidson, a little splurge from my up in pay following my TV Title win. Owning a motorcycle was always one of those goals of mine that I had always put on the backburner, mostly because it wasn't really that "essential." But when the opportunity presented itself, I took it. Lemme tell you, riding around Hawaii without a care in the world is simply fantastic. Made me glad Seth booked three Slams in a row here, and also slightly sad that next week we'd have to go to Minnesota. Can't stay in paradise forever, I suppose.
But as I was riding, something caught my eye. A construction zone, probably renovating the exterior of some unmarked building, and within the zone was a big ole piece of scaffolding, about the size that would probably be used for Helloween in my match against Kevin Bishop. I was so intrigued I had to pull over to the side of the road and think about if I was really about to ask to check this thing out. Finally I worked up the nerve to ask the foreman working there. He seemed hesitant at first, but after thinking about it decided to let me try.

FPV: Don't worry, if you get in any trouble for this at all I'll take all of the blame.
Construction Worker: So what are you gonna be doin up there exactly?
FPV: Just walk on it a few times, get a feel for it. Wanna see how comfortably I can do things on it, yknow?
Construction Worker: All right then. But don't go messin with anything else now, you hear me?
I nodded, and slowly made my way to the scaffolding. It felt odd climbing up the ladder. This was the structure I'd be walking into next Sunday. Nothing insane like the Euthanasia Chamber, or the Clockwork Orange house of Fun, or even the Crucifixion Match. Nope, this was just a regular old run of the mill scaffold. This was where Bishop and I would hopefully do battle for the final time. Perhaps it was just my experience in all those other structures talking, but standing atop the construction zone, a decent view of the Honolulu city in front of me, I just felt very...underwhelmed, I guess you could say. Everything seemed so simple. Beat him up a bit then toss him overboard. EZ PZ.
Beginning to walk across it, I started thinking about how having a match up here would affect my moves. If this was gonna be anything like the scaffolding used next Sunday, my moveset would probably end up kinda limited. The Headshot straight down to the floor would probably end up my best bet. Taking Kevin's moves into consideration The Black Death would obviously be a no go, considering the lack of ring ropes. However, if he managed to hit The Inevitable Death Nail..hoo boy, goodnight Irene. That is, if he even works up the ocurage to climb the ladder up the damn thing in the first place.
Having satisfied my curiosity, I climbed down the ladder back to the ground and thanked the foreman again for even letting me do this before walking back to my Harley. Before I got back on the road, I reached into my bag that had been behind me for the ride, and grabbed my WCF Television Title, smiling.

FPV: It sure didn't take long until I had gold in my hands again, did it? Even sooner then I would've thought. I was expecting gold on Halloween weekend, but instead got it two weeks early. Deep down, the People knew. They knew it would only be a matter of time before I added another title to my resume. Now the question is this: when will he win his next? And I can already tell you the answer to that one, people. October 30th. Xcel Energy Center. St. Paul, Minnesota. PEOPLE'S TITLE.
There's a reason why everything has been coming up Franky this past month. I'm the one who's always putting in work, doing the homework on his opponents and spotting out their weak points. Shit, just now I got a little bit of a sneak peek into the type of structure I'll be walking into next Sunday. And it's the little thingsl ike that that I've been doing since I came back to this federation that'll give me the edge over Bishop and make me a Double Champion once again.
But that speech is for another day. Because this week, my last week in glorious Hawaii, I have my first defense of this beaut right here, the TV Title. Last week Joe Smarts became the biggest afterthought in WCF history. Seriously, many people talked about this match as if it were just me and Gem one on one, not realizing old Joey was in on the action too. He was the easy person to "eat the pin" so to speak in this match, the one both Gem and I could go after, pin, and the other guy could still feel good about himself because he didn't "technically" lose.
That ain't what happened though. I pinned the goddamn champion himself to show that when I get in that ring, there ain't no such thing as half measures. I pinned Gemini Battle, former WCF World Champion, to send a message to anyone in the back who still had their doubts about me. Sure, Gem can say he lost because of Jared Holmes, but if he were a true champ, he could've shook the surprise hit off and still won the match. I've seen many a people come back from worse things then what happened to him. He could've done it, but he didn't, and I reaped the rewards.
As for Joe, he didn't factor that much into things, just like many assumed would happen. Now he has another shot, only this time it's one on one. I'm not opposed to it, it's an easy first defense and is just going to make my win last week even more undisputed. Joe has potential, but let's be serious here, if this man is gonna go after ANY belt in this company, it's gotta be the Alpha Title. He's just not ready for anything else. And even then CJ could probably wipe the floor with him.
This match Sunday is so lopsided it's not even funny. If Joe wants to win he better have his working boots on, because I'm not gonna let go of this belt so quickly after I won it. Not by a long shot.
