"The Rock...is back"

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, back to SRW Eclipse! We go live straight to the former SRW and KOTR champion, The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment Today…The Rock(Starlight)!
The Rock: *looks directly into camera and takes a deep breath, preparing to speak*
*Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!*
The Rock: Tonight, The Rock stares down the smoking barrel, right to the man who took his glory. The man who almost broke The Rock’s skull! The man who robbed The Rock of his belts last night! The man who put The Rock in his place…the man who showed The Rock the true path…this message is to the millions - *and millions!* - of The Rock’s fan’s, but also to Rob – Van – Dam.
‘Twas the night afore SRW Spun Out, when The Rock received a call…*pretends to pick up a ‘phone with his left hand as a receiver* (in a slow, deep voice) ‘Hello, can I speak to The Rock, please.’ *Switches to right hand for the receiver* (in his normal voice) ‘You’re talking to…The Rock *stares into camera*
*Fans go wild as he looks into the camera*
The Rock: (slow voice again) ‘Rock, I have something for you. A gift from afar.’ (Normal voice) ‘A gift from a jar? What IN THE BLUE HELL do you think The Rock needs a gift in a jar for?!’ (Slow voice) ‘Rock, don’t play around. This is the most important thing you’ve ever heard in your life.’ (Normal voice) ‘The most impotent thing I’ve ever he-’ (slow voice) ‘Dammit, Rock, stop this! What I have to tell you is most important, and the impact it will have on your life will be great.’ *Looks into camera, fans going wild* (Normal voice) ‘I think you should tell The Rock in private’ *Does a completely over-dramatic 180 turn, to face the wall behind.* (Mumbles incessantly…bursts out laughing…listens, with ‘uh-huhs’ etc., and finally puts the ‘phone down)
The Rock: *breathes in deeply and slowly* Existence is suffering! The cause of suffering is desire, and this is what has been holding The Rock back for years. Sure, The Rock’s got his million-dollar contracts, his million-dollar shirts, and his million-dollar babes, but that’s counts for…NOTHING. It was only yesterday evening that The Rock realised what he truly wanted…happiness. Contentment. Satisfaction, baby! But how does The Rock get this satisfaction? The Rock wants, wants, wants, but what does he NEED? The Rock’ll tell ya what The Rock needs…the title! And how does The Rock get the title? Not from RVD, hell no! The Rock can only get it through, through, THROUGH the fans, and the fans alone!
*Crowd totally go berserk*
The Rock: Raw Is War…Philly is hardcore…Great Britain is great…and now The Rock – is – Buddhist!
*Crowd shocked out of their seats*
The Rock: Tonight The Rock stares down the smoking barrel, right to the man who took his glory. The man who almost broke The Rock’s skull! The man who robbed The Rock of his belts last night! The man who put The Rock in his place…the man who showed The Rock the true path…the 8-fold Path! The Rock has made a pledge to Buddha himself to see that the world is safe, the water is clean, and The Rock is the champ!
Rob Van Dam, The Rock has adopted the noble ways of the Buddha, and it means that The Rock, is-a gonna layeth, the Smacketh down, on your candy a$s, right here on Eclipse! He’s gonna take his boot…shine it up real n-
BOOM! “One of a kind!”
*Screen suddenly splits, showing The Rock on one half and RVD walking to the ring on the other.*
RVD: Rocky, Rocky, Rocky! What have you done? Look at yourself, and for God’s skaes, man, listen to yourself for just a minute! Spare our eardrums, dude! Now listen up, all you guys *points around to the fans*, cause RVD’s got a special message for all of you. Tonight, Rock, you and I go one-on-one-
The Rock: With the Great one!
*Crowd cheer avidly and laugh at RVD*
RVD: I don’t see any gold around your waist, dude. Anyway, I’ve got something important to say, and there’s no one more important than *with single thumb* Rob – Van – Dam!
*Deafening raucous booing from the crowd*
RVD: Rock, you know you’re not good enough for these 10 pounds of gold *strokes belt* as I showed you last night. But anyway, for some reason you’ve been granted a match against The Whole – F’n – Show tonight! It’s non-title, of course, because you’ve gotta have talent to be the champ, and that’s what you don’t have, Rocky! C’mon, you’re hardly one of the Mick Foleys of our world, are you? You’re a failed football player, and you’ll never be anything better than that! This job is just a booster to a career in some B-movies! Tonight’s gonna be the night when these pretzel-stuffin’, beer-swillin’ wife-beatin’ fools get exposed to your fraudulent lack of ability for the first time! Let’s face the facts, here Rock – you’re like radiation: no one likes to be around you, and everybody feels sick when you’re next to them!
*Huge waves of booing from the fans, RVD can’t get a word out*
The Rock: RVD, tonight YOU learn what a jackass YOU are, because whether you like it or not, tonight you and The Rock go continental on each other’s candy as$es! Yeah, we’re going Japanesey, yeah we’re going Japanesey and it feels so goddamn good! How? Why? Let The Rock put it in the bluntest of terms: tonight sees the SRW premiere…
*Holds up fluorescent light strips* …of these babies.
RVD: Well that’s just great, Rock, because I’ve got a surprise for you. We’re indeed going continental-style, cause I’ve brought along my special buddy…
*Hops out the ring, and searches underneath the ring*
RVD: I doubt you’ll have come across these, Rocky, seeing as you’ve never wrestled in Japan like any other GOOD wrestler, so they might be a bit of a surprise. Ah, here they are!
*Pulls out something rectangular, covered in an SRW-patterned cloth, and puts them in the centre of the ring*
RVD: Well, man, here’s my gift from Rob Van Dam, to you! I know I’m humanity’s finest specimen, but sometimes I even shock myself at my nice-itude! Rock, prepare to become very well-acquainted with-
*Pulls away cloth, as crowd is shocked into disbelief*

…barbed-wire boards.

***
That’s the prelude over, with the revelation that SRW is going to see fluorescent light strips (the bulbs for those strip lights used in schools) and the dreaded barbed-wire boards for the first time in SRW history!
To summarise, The Rock is now a Buddhist (crazy, I know, but it hit me while I was typing), RVD loves himself, The Rock’s even more popular than before, and RVD’s brought in some particularly painful looking boards. The match is all set to be put up sometime during this weekend, and while there will be no title change, there’s sure to be a helluva lot of blood, guts and sweat lost in this one. Don’t pray for Madonna, Argentina, pray for these two guys!

I can't see how The Rock being a Buddhist would help. We all knew RVD loved himself. Implements of destruction are very welcome.

Oh well, whatever floats your boat... :D

Two things behind the angle:

1) Part of a bigger angle
2) Rock needed a way to justify sucking up to the fans even more, and so I chose religious reasons, and being a Samoan, it seemed strangely interesting. The Rock needs an ultimate push to counter-act RVD's heel turn. The point was to push Rocky, not RVD.

Good match James!!! Cya at school on Monday!

or should I say roleplay! ooops! (no ones perfect... especially not me!) :P

Cheers, Luke, it's that sort of stuff that makes it all worthwhile...

Explore this forum, and you'll find a ton of great matches by me and all the other guys (read the ones marked 'Spun out'!)

See ya Monday

:D Lol, brilliant, possibly the best one-on-one interview written here in SRW. Some great actions (like when Rock is talking on the 'phone') too, which added to the enjoyment.

Rock (Starlight) a Buddha, hey? :D Could be interesting, and he still has the fans' love...I wonder what will happen if Rock (Starlight) manages to beat RVD (AJ), and what implications will it have for the next PPV?

Looking forward to your match LL, nice one.

Cheers, Ant. After this feud is over (whenever that is) I need to start writing for the Hardcore areas of SRW, after having been exposed to the poisonous wonder that is Japanese wrestling. Even if there's no title, I can still make it a horrifying part of SRW.

By the way, Ant, Ive got an idea for any wrestlers that need to be gotten rid of...

--Sure, the last time I visited the WWE forums was about 1 year or so ago.... So, i'll have a look at the archives for any matches/roleplays that u have written.

I normally hang out in the Dreamcast, XBox, and FOG forums.. but I also visit the Nintendo and PS2 message boards.

There's good stuff here, but recently we downsized, so the promotion is smaller, and easier to manage. The SRW Eclipses are the best to check out what's what, esp. the latest one
