Introducing Team Four: The Army Of Truth

[magnusd]

For today's no doubt wacky group introduction, we are at some kind of army base. It's dark outside and visibility is poor, but that doesn't stop our brave camera team from doing as they are told and filming for us. They are soon greeted by the arrival of a tank. Well, when I say tank, it's more of the DX incarnation of a tank (i.e. a jeep with a pipe on top). A man pops out of the top and its another recognisable veteran presence: R-Truth. He's dressed up in full army uniform, complete with a stick of some kind.

RT: 'Men, front and centre!'

As if on cue, four men emerge from behind the camera, all dressed in army uniforms. They have their back to the camera, so we can't see them straight away. Truth intends to introduce them one at a time.

RT: 'Hey, that's my line. Don't step on my toes you omnipresent voice in my head.'

That's the first time I've ever been talked back to by a character, at least in this format. Fine, take it away Truth.

RT: 'That's Corporal Truth to you, maggot. And that goes for all of you too. I've never seen such an ugly and random assortment of Little Jimmy's in my life.'

'Yes sir' said one of the men. The camera pans to show the man: Jimmy Jacobs, and Truth did not like that. He gets right up in Jacob's face.

CT: 'You shall speak when you are spoken to, not before and not after. For that transgression, you shall now be known as Major Jimmy.'

Jacobs, sorry, I mean Major Jimmy, doesn't seen displeased with getting such a high ranking position. Truth moves to the next man in the line: Nate Webb.

CT: 'You, I don't recognise you. Are you one of those no good vanilla indie wrestlers that Kevin Nash warned me about. Your name, speak it!'

NW: 'It's Spyder Nate Webb sir.'

CT: 'Spiders! Spiders!. Where are they. Get em off me.'

NW: 'No sir, that's my name.'

CT: 'Oh, sorry. Just don't mention spiders again. Heh, Spyder, Webb. Very clever. For that, you shall be known as Sgt Spyder. But DO NOT say that word again. Only I get to say it. If any of you maggots want to speak to him in my presence, you call him Sgt. Are we clear?'

All: 'Sir, yes sir.'

Truth approaches the next man in the queue: It's nZo.

CT: 'You, I remember you. You're that little Italian guy who tagged around with Cass. Well, maggot, you don't have a big guy to defend you now. From here on, you shall be known as Captain Calzone. And be thankful I don't kick your ass for that shit you pulled at Survivor Series back in 2018.'

Truth moves down the line one more place, to reveal our final man. And what an awesome pick he is: The Miz.

CT: 'Miz, you've got a lot of guts showing your face here, after all the shit you've done to me.'

TM: 'You asked me to be here.'

CT: 'You speak when you're spoken to maggot. I bet you think you're some kind of big shot, but in reality this is the only place that would give your ass a chance. And to show how far the mighty has fallen, you shall be known as General E Awesome. Any more back talk and its back to the unemployment line. Dismissed.'

Truth attempts to get back in the "tank" the same way he got in, but struggles as the pipes are not staying in place. In the end, he gets in the clearly visible drivers door and drives off, the pipe falling off in the process. The troops gather around, with General E Awesome having something to tell them.

GA: 'Guys, stick with it. It'll be hell for a while, but I think we're getting close to a breakthrough.'

CC: 'Is this the only thing the doctor said would work?'

GA: 'Yes, and I guarantee it will. Why? Because I'm The Miz and I'm General E Awesome!'

We fade to black, as I wonder who exactly is the insane one in this group? The man driving the "tank" or the man playing to crowds who aren't there. Regardless, The Army Of Truth will be a formidable addition to the Stable Wars ranks.

(Meant to include this in the original write up, but completely forgot. The show will likely be out on Sunday, when I figure it out I'll put a booking request in for The Bucks and The Miz).

We see Magnus James in his office, pretending to type on a computer keyboard. He stops and turns to face the camera.

MJ: 'Oh, sorry, I didn't see you come in. Wrestling fans, our second show will be with you this weekend. It might be Saturday or it might be Sunday, it depends entirely on when I finish the script. Much like Vince McMahon, I'll probably rewrite it two hours before showtime, because that's how wrestling companies should be run. To get to the lineup, we will be featuring members of The House of Hardy and The Army of Truth this week. In tag team action, The Bucks of Youth will face Bear Country. In six man tag team action, General E Awesome, Major Jimmy and Sgt Spyder will face Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa. In singles action, Darby Allin will face a massive test in the recently released Alexander Hammerstone. And in our main event, the first meeting of the stables will take place, as Brother Nero does battle with Captain Calzone. Be sure to join us for

While it has a certain Vince Russo like quality to it where within his WCW shows since he sometimes acknowledged it was written, you did something there that's crossed my mind in the past of sort of blending the acknowledgement that these are just characters in writing with R Truth talking back to the narration, and then the finish the script line. I'll be interested to see what other walls get broken down. After 25 years of this though, it's refreshing to see some new ideas like that. I don't think I'd want to see that type of stuff everywhere left & right as it would get old quick and needs the right environment but it is different and I like that you're getting creative with it.

This group seems inspired by The Misfits in Action, especially with General E Awesome.

This is a good use of every promotion having their own folder and being able to post what you want within. I hope to get to a similar state with posting promos, although mine will probably be of the more generic variety lol.
