Kenny Freeman RPs

[Alex K]

The first time I've ever RPed as someone other than Legion (unless you count Arbiter X at Ice Storm Siberia, but that was a SW match itself). Enjoy, looking forward to feedback

Title: Cool Story, Bro

@kfreetfwf: just arrived in Washington. What happened at @TFWF #DependenceDay12?

The scene opens inside the Horizon Center,  where EMTs are still attending to those injured after the despicable acts of the One Ring Circus. It has been an hour since Dependence Day 12 went off the air, and the damage is still evident in the people and property nearly destroyed. From among the physical and emotional wreckage stands a single man unharmed, fortunate in the timing of his arrival. That man, looking at the scene before him with a look of shock and horror, is…

“Kenny Freeman, it’s about TIME you got here!”

The young man turns around to see TFWF backstage reporter Kurt Dawson, a little shaken but not worse for wear. Kenny nods in response as Kurt approaches him.

“Yeah, sorry about that. I meant to get here earlier for my interview, but…”

He looks around, shaking his head with a small sigh.

“I guess that’s not the most important thing right now. What happened here?”

“The One Ring Circus happened, that’s what. Something about wanting…respect.”

A slight snarl can be seen on Kenny’s face as he shakes his head again.

“They sure have a funny way of showing it.”

He looks on as ambulances pull away, giving just the right opportunity to cut to a more positive scene: a house show in Orlando, Florida, just days before Monday Night Mayhem. There is an air of caution mixed in with the excitement of the crowd when “Move” by Thousand Foot Krutch plays over the PA system. The crowd is not sure how to react at first, unfamiliar with the man walking out onto the stage. Kenny’s big smile coupled with his exchanging of high fives with the crowd gives them assurance as the rookie makes his way to the ring. He slides into the ring, pumping his fist to a decent pop from the crowd as he gets a microphone from ringside. The crowd quiets down, eager to hear what the newest TFWF superstar has to say.

“What’s up, Orlando!?”

This gets a cheap pop from the hometown crowd, but is effective nonetheless.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you don’t know me yet…but you will. My name is Kenny Freeman, but you can call me K-Free. Born and raised in Los Angeles, where all the stars are out…but Orlando is pretty famous for its stars too. Let me tell ya, I’ve been to Disneyland tons of times, but it doesn’t hold a CANDLE to good ol’ Disney World!”

Another cheap pop from the crowd, as Kenny’s smile widens.

“Folks, I gotta say I’m honored to finally grace a TFWF ring. If you would have told me a year ago I’d get to live this dream, I’d have looked at you and said ‘are you SERIOUS, bro!?’ But here I am. Man, it’s amazing. You know what else is amazing, though in a not so awesome way…what the One Ring Circus did at Dependence Day.”

A loud chorus of boos rain down at the mention of the group, as Kenny nods in agreement.

“What an absolutely disgusting display those guys put on. I finally had the chance to see the footage myself, and I gotta know. MDK, you give everyone this big speech about chaos and how you want respect…are you SERIOUS, bro!? If this is your way of looking for respect I’ll have nothing to do with it. It’s heinous, it’s vile, it’s…right up you guys’ alley, apparently. And you know who I’m most disappointed in with all this? Exile.”

Another round of boos, this time focusing on the former Light Heavyweight Champion.

“Exile, what happened to you? You were such a cool guy at the start. I even looked up to you over the last couple of years…but you changed, bro. You changed bad, and it shows in everything you do now. Wearing makeup like Dorian Wong? Are you completely off your rocker? I suppose we’re gonna see Legion wearing robes and parading around with a Bib—oh, right.”

This gets a scattered chuckle, leaving Kenny to respond with the same.

“Look at these guys. A bunch of cowards, if you ask me. Speaking of cowards, you guys see what that new tag team Horizons did at Dependence Day?”

The boos are slightly lighter, but still loud.

“Yep, exactly what I was thinking. Alex Flare, Dante Rivers, you two are no better than the ORC in my book! Abandoning your partner, and why? Because he wasn’t cool enough to be aligned with you, or something? Dude, not cool!”

He looks at all the people in the crowd with another smile on his face.

“Tell me, how many of you caught Horizons’ latest promo?”

A slightly louder wave of boos indicates the people’s awareness of the words of the new tag team.

“Good, me too. Are you serious, bro? You come out in this ring, and you proceed to run your mouth off about how great your tag team is…but guess what? You lost! You lost your first Pay Per View match, and what do you do about it? You blame it on the man you tagged with! I don’t care if he IS mentally challenged, you don’t leave a man behind!”

The crowd cheers for Kenny’s sense of loyalty as he continues.

“And then, to top it all off…you write me off as an easy win? Bro, you don’t even know who I am and you wanna write me off? You wanna call me nothing more than a little distraction? Dante, do you even realize what kind of match you’re in? I don’t care HOW good you and your buddy Alex might be—this isn’t a tag match! He might be in your corner, but you won’t get to tag him in when you find my style of offense too much to handle!”

The crowd cheers even louder now, loving where Kenny is going with this.

“This Monday night at Mayhem, when I wrestle my first match as a TFWF superstar, I will prove you SO wrong that you’re gonna need to come up with some more excuses for your failure! And don’t worry Dante, I will indeed be tweeting all my friends about it afterward—I’ll be tweeting about K-Free’s epic win, and Dante Rivers’ epic FAIL! I hope you’re truly ready for Mayhem, Dante Rivers…because the K will set you FREE, bro!”

He drops the microphone, pumping his fist to a HUGE pop from the crowd. “Move” plays over the PA as Kenny exits the ring, absolutely adoring the great reaction from the fans as the scene fades to black.

[Alex K]

And this begins the "video blog" style of roleplaying meant to really get a feel for KFree. Enjoy!

"That thing on? Good, let's do this."

We open outside downtown Orlando, just hours after the first Monday Night Mayhem under the control of the One Ring Circus. It is here we find Kenny Freeman wandering the streets, looking none too pleased after what has gone on.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the TFWF Galaxy. I'm K-Free Kenny Freeman, and this is the first episode of my video blog…which from this point forward I'm calling Cool Story, Bro. Tonight I wanna talk to you guys about what happened at Monday Night Mayhem. Let's examine this, shall we?"

He enters a nearby restaurant, where we cut to a muted K-Free as he orders dinner at the counter. We then cut to K-Free sitting, waiting for his food as he continues speaking.

"You all saw what happened out there. I had Dante dead to frickin' rights, had him feeling like he wasn't supposed to BE THERE tonight, and what happens? Alex Flare sticks his nose in, allowing Dante to bust out the brass knuckles to knock me for a loop! Way to show what a coward you are, jerkstain!"

Kenny stops just long enough for the waitress to bring him his dinner. He smiles at the waitress, who smiles back.

"I hope it's spaghetti!"

The waitress laughs at Kenny's lame attempt at an Italian accent as she sets a plate of the delicious pasta down on the table. The waitress walks away with another giggle as Kenny grabs his fork.

"But you know what they say, revenge is a dish best served...with meatballs! Anyways, I'm not that worried about what happened tonight. Dante, take pride in your tainted win if it helps you sleep at night. Me, I'm going to focus on that Light Heavyweight tournament Jose Ramon is petitioning for. If it gets approved, you can bet K-Free's gonna give one HUNDRED percent into becoming the number one contender for THE top belt in the division. Folks, we'll be right back with more Cool Story, Bro in just a moment. I gotta carb up for next week!"

Kenny digs into his spaghetti, looking quite pleased with himself now as we cut to a musical interlude:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ

We return from the interlude to find it is now the morning after Thursday Torcher, and Kenny has just landed in Atlanta, Georgia. Strolling down the streets of Hotlanta in the smoldering heat seems to have little effect on a smiling K-Free as he enters a mini-mall for a TFWF meet and greet.

"Well folks, here we are in Atlanta. What's up, Hotlanta!?"

This gets a big pop from the crowd, much to the delight of Kenny as he now focuses solely on the fans in attendance.

"How many of you are ready for another exciting week of TFWF action?"

Another set of cheers gives Kenny the response he needs.

"If you don't know by now, lemme fill you in. The jerk squad is in full force now, as the One Ring Circus has finally pitched their proverbial tents in the TFWF."

A massive round of boos confirms the anger Kenny shares with these fans.

"I know exactly how you feel, guys. It sucks, it really does. But you know what? It'll work out in the end, I'm sure. This isn't the first time the TFWF has faced a major crisis, and I truly believe we're gonna get out of this mess!"

Some more cheers helps brighten the mood back up, to which Kenny nods.

"But none of us can do it by ourselves. I hope EVERYONE in the company hears this..."

He turns around to face us, a look of intensity on his face.

"I'm talking to you especially, JC McDonald, no need to leave ME out your little tirade..."

He turns back to the fans.

"Because we ALL need to realize the part we play in bringing control back to the company. Each of us is a part of this body we call the TFWF, we each have a purpose...and it's gonna take ALL of us to stop the chaos that calls itself the One Ring Circus. And what better way to prove that than taking out the head of their security?"

This gets a HUGE pop from the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the TFWF Galaxy, yesterday was Thursday, Thursday...and with it came Thursday Torcher, where we saw just how dangerous the ORC can be. But I have it on good authority that I will be facing Sean Panache, head of ORC security, at Monday Mayhem right here in Hotlanta!"

Another cheap pop from the crowd, certainly good enough to keep the momentum going.

"Sean loves to brag about his past accomplishments and the crew he runs with, doesn't he? I'm so glad you won this title and that title back in some other company, Sean. You're a LONG way from Vegas, and I don't think this is a gamble you should take!"

The cheers just keep getting louder and louder for Kenny as he pushes through to the other side.

"And spare me the lecture on you and your One Ring Circus buddies. I know you guys want to just brush me off like I'm no threat...but there are strength in numbers, Sean. The seven deadly sins of the ORC are no match for the CAVALRY coming your way! We will BRING the cavalry, Sean! I just hope you and the rest of the Circus are ready to pack up and leave town, before we tear the whole thing DOWN!"

The crowd is at a fever pitch now, chanting "K-Free" as Kenny continues.

"And when all is said and done, Sean? Not ONLY will you and your friends see how much of a threat I really AM to your cause, I'll be one step closer to my main goal in the TFWF...the Light Heavyweight Championship! And with Jose Ramon, a man I've looked up to for years, holding the belt? It's a dream match come true, bro...I might even be so bold as to call it destiny, and there's not much you can do to stop fate! Sean Panache, I hope you're ready to break the bondage of your Circus connections, because the K will set you FREE, bro!"

Kenny is nearly swept away by the cheers as he turns to us with a huge grin on his face. He starts singing "Monday, Monday, gotta throw down on Monday" as we fade to black.

NOTE TO DO LATER, PROMISE THEY'LL COME SOON!

[Alex K]

No problem, Russ. I'm posting this here, but I'm not too stressed about feedback right away. I do hope everyone will enjoy, though

Cool Story, Bro: Episode 2

Meanwhile, at the Circus of Doom…



We open with a poorly photoshopped picture combining the faces of the One Ring Circus with members of the cartoon villians: MDK’s face slapped on the body of Lex Luthor, Viktor Kovalenko borrowing the body of Bizarro, Rick Rampage as Brainiac, Exile portraying the Riddler, Michael Thunder as the Scarecrow, Sean Panache as Sinestro, and Georgie Nickles as Giganta. We hear the now familiar voice of Kenny Freeman trying his best to impersonate each ORC member, starting with “MD Luthor.”

MD Luthor: I’ve called you all here because we’re going to destroy the TFWF!

Absolute silence from the rest of the Circus.

MD Luthor: I said, I’ve called you all here because—

Bizarrolenko: (muffled voice, similar to the teacher from the Peanuts cartoons)

Georganta: Yeah, what he said. Enough talk, it’s time for action!

MD Luthor: There is plenty of time for action! The destruction of the TFWF is at hand! The first order of business, dealing with that meddling nerd Kenny Freeman!

Georganta: He’s no match for my strength, Danny boy!

We hear “O Danny Boy” playing in the background for a moment.

MD Luthor: I told you NEVER to call me that! I know you’ll beat him easily, Georganta. It’s just that SOMEONE around here underestimated him…

Seanestro: …

MD Luthor: That’s right, just don’t address it at all Seanestro. That’s your best chance of hoping people will forget!

Seanestro: I’m going to show AB Divine a lesson he won’t soon forget!

MD Luthor: Good answer!

Applause from the Circus.

Exiler: Jose Ramon this, Jose Ramon that, I’d like to beat Jose with a whiffle ball bat…

Rampage-iac: Will you PLEASE stop whining about Jose Ramon?

Exiler: I can’t, it’s all I know besides random pop culture references.

Michael Thundrcow: Darn fool kids and their pop culture references…

MD Luthor: (angrily) SILENCE! Georganta, you know what to do this Monday at Mayhem.

Georganta: …I thought that was our little secret?

MD Luthor: …I was talking about beating Kenny Freeman and Masked Marvel!

Georganta: Oh, no problem! Anything for you, Danny boy!

“O Danny Boy” plays once more as we cut to black, followed by an outdoor shot of a Georgie Nickles action figure. We once again hear the voice of Kenny Freeman, this time in the tone of a narrator.

“This is Georgie Nickles.”

We pan over to a Kenny Freeman action figure, near a hole in the ground.

“And this is Kenny Freeman.”

We see Kenny’s real hand moving the Georgie figure, pushing the Kenny figure into the hole.

“This is Georgie Nickles BURYING Kenny Freeman. Any questions?”

NOW TRENDING ON TWITTER: #RealRebelCheese

With this we cut to a musical interlude:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbuRA_D3KU

We come back from the interlude to find that we are now inside the bedroom of Kenny Freeman, where we see various wrestling posters: Exile’s first Light Heavyweight Championship win, Jose Ramon’s epic Circle of Blood match against Phenom, and Georgie Nickles celebrating with the True Expert title. Eventually we settle on the young K-Free looking at his posters with a smile on his face. He turns to face us, still beaming at the sight of his heroes as he begins to speak.

“Two weeks ago your boy shocked the world—and more importantly, the One Ring Circus—by beating Sean Panache to advance in the Light Heavyweight Championship tournament. And last week we found out that, because of the issues between the Old School Style and Horizons, the finals will now be a triple threat between yours truly, The Masked Marvel, and the Original Rebel Child herself, Georgie Nickles. I have to tell ya, I’m honored to face two athletes with SO much in common—“

We cut to a picture of former TFWF Superstar Legion as creepy music plays in the background. We cut back to a disturbed K-Free, who eventually shrugs it off before continuing.

“You have the Masked Marvel, whose conservative views would bring a lot of joy to my parents. In fact…”

We cut to Kenny’s father Thomas wearing a Marvel mask and patriotic attire, as “Born in the USA” plays. Thomas begins flexing his slightly flabby arms before we cut back to a REALLY disturbed Kenny.

“Are you serious, Dad? I can’t have a Marvel Maniac for a father, it looks bad on the rep! Anyways, it’s hard to believe it’s been about a YEAR since the Masked Marvel lost his Light Heavyweight Championship, a fact I’m sure he hasn’t forgotten. There’s no doubt he’ll be looking to take his frustrations out this Monday, but unfortunately for him there are two people looking to crush his dreams: THIS guy, and good ol’ Georgie Nickles.”

He points first to himself, and then to the Georgie Nickles poster.

“Georgie Nickles, whose first action upon joining the One Ring Circus was to declare herself a real Sister In Need. Well…you’re about as pretty as a nun, so I get your point. I mean honestly, Georgie…what happened to you? I used to look up to you, the way you and Exile kicked butt as Civil Unrest was just amazing.”

We cut to footage of the group at their finest, fighting the evils of the Career Killers.

“That was the stuff that got me into this business. But look at you now, Georgie. You say you haven’t changed, but you’ve done a complete 180 on everything you’ve stood for. You’ve become the bully you used to hate. I used to love watching you, Georgie…but now, I can barely stand the sight of you.”

An angry look grows on Kenny’s face as he speaks now.

“And you know something, Georgie, I heard what you had to say about me. How dare you judge me by what I do outside this ring! You say that I have no chance of winning this match because of my inexperience, because I’ve only had two matches…let’s not forget, one of those matches was a win over YOUR buddy Sean Panache! You wanna brush me off, and focus all your attention on Jose Ramon? That’s fine with me, Georgie; Sean brushed me off too, and we saw how THAT turned out. So go ahead, CALL me a nerd. Call me a loser, call me whatever your little heart desires. But after Monday night, you’ll have to call me something else: the number one contender to the Light Heavyweight Championship. When the dust settles, it’s gonna be ME facing Jose Ramon in Anaheim for the top belt in our division, not you. You’ll have to wait for your chance to continue Exile’s work for him, Georgie Porgie. I hope you’re ready, because the K will set you AND the Masked Marvel free, free from the burden of a one on one match with the greatest Light Heavyweight Champion in the TFWF today. The burden is mine and mine alone, and I look forward to carrying it.”

With this Kenny storms off, leaving us to look at his wrestling posters as we fade to black.

[Russ]

Gonna do some notes as I go on all three for you mate.

First RP
Like the addition of the tweets, nice touch. Good little piece selling what happened at DD12, though I'd have split the two scenes up rather than running into one another. The disney joke was actually quite funny! Tone down the "are you serious, bro?" quotes as it's a bit too much of a "look I want to be Zack Ryder!". Free: True Long Island Story, you are not, make it your own man. Lame Legion joke, if you're gonna go the comedy route make it more Santino/Desert Sex where you laugh AT the wrestler not WITH the wrestler. Nice overall RP though!

Second RP
Now to be a picky, while the "is this thing on?" introduction is classic, I think if you're doing a vlog logic says you'll edit it down before posting on YouTube, so I'd cut that out. It makes it less realistic as a vlog, unless you make it some sort of introduction catchphrase. I secretly love the theme song. Pretty good promo on Panache, work a little more on the selling, build the match up to be even more of a big deal but it came across nicely.

Third RP
Ah the irony of Rick Rampage as "Braniac". Stop copying Zack Ryder because it's really not coming across that well, but more as a cheap copy. I know it's meant to be a joke but it's not all that funny, I'd cut it out entirely. Also stop referencing Legion, it does nothing for the RP but make another bad joke. Yeah the Zack Ryder jokes are bringing this down a lot, make it your own mate, the previous roleplays were much better. Again work on selling the opponents but overall the promo came across well.

Major points: cut out the Zack Ryder copying and work on the bad jokes, I'd turn Freeman more like a Santino sort of character where he tries to chat girls up and sucks at it or tries to act cool and fails badly, that sort of thing rather than just copying Ryder.

[Alex K]

Well, I went with the most obvious point of improvement...and tried my best not to be such a blatant Ryder Ripoff, lol. I will say that certain elements of him are what I was going for, BUT...as you pointed out Russ, I think it's better for KFree to be someone to laugh at. So, that was the aim of some of the jokes in this one. Let's see if it works, lol:

The scene opens inside the living room of Kenny Freeman, where we find our hero dressed in proper red, white and blue attire. He has a microphone, and he is…singing? We hear the guitar riffs of an all too familiar song…

“If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man, I can’t let it slide!”

Kenny gets into the chorus, with some noticeable changes to the lyrics.

“I am a real Republican, fight for the rights of corporate men! I am a real Republican, fight for the right to prenatal life!”

The music cuts off as Kenny smiles.

“So what’d you think, ladies?”

We now see TFWF Divas Cindy Pom Poms and Bella, a look of disgust on each of their faces as they shake their heads in disappointment.

“No, not happening.”

They walk off, leaving Kenny dejected before turning his attention to us.

“Hey there, true believers. Welcome to episode three of Cool Story, Bro with your host, K-Free Kenny Freeman. As many of you know, I came THIS close to winning a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title this past Monday. I’ll make sure not to waste time on the turnbuckle again, but more importantly…well…”

We cut to footage of Monday Night Mayhem, where we see the Masked Marvel taking his aggressions out on Kenny with a Marvel Lock. Marvel lets go of the hold and eventually makes his way out of the ring when we cut back to Kenny.

“Masked Marvel, I have no clue what your problem is. Believe me, I understand you were mad about losing. How do you think I feel? I’M the guy who got pinned in the middle of that ring by the cheesiest woman in professional wrestling! So really, what’s your malfunction? I’ve heard it’s because you think I’m a nerd. Well, you wouldn’t be the first one to think so…but if I’m a nerd what does that make you? You’re the one running around in a superhero costume. Are you insane? Have you taken one too many hits to the head with a flagpole, or something? If you wanna be mad at me for something, don’t be mad about something that I had no control over…be mad at what I’m gonna do to you at Hard Steel. You want to take your frustration out on ME? I’ll pay you back tenfold in Anaheim, buddy.”

He pauses for a moment, a hint of anger showing in his face as he continues.

“And it seems somewhat ironic that Hard Steel takes place on September 11th, a day that REAL Americans will never forget. And you know what, Marvel? Come Hard Steel, I promise YOU’LL never forget the day a nerd made you look even MORE foolish than normal! And speaking of September 11th…folks, with such a day coming soon I would like to ask you to find your nearest soldier and give him or her a hug. Thank them for everything they’ve done for this great country of ours.”

With this he hugs the closest solider he can find…Iziah Hunter, who just stares at him with widened eyes of shock as we quickly cut to the Muppet Interlude:

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

We return from the Muppet Interlude to find Kenny at a small gym in Anaheim, just moments before the start of a show for a tiny promotion called Mach PRO. The ring announcer is in the ring, microphone in hand:

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome TFWF Superstar and Mach PRO alumnus…K-Free Kenny Freeman!”

The crowd of about fifty or so go wild for the young man as he walks into the room, quickly entering the ring. The announcer hands him the mic, allowing him a chance to speak.

“What’s up, Mach PRO fans!”

This gets a nice pop from the crowd, which brings a smile to Kenny’s face as he continues.

“I’d like to thank the management of both the TFWF and Mach PRO for allowing me to come out tonight, just days before we hit the Honda Center for Hard Steel. Many other Superstars are at a house show not too far from here, but I honestly felt I needed to come home just this once. So again, thank you for having me.”

Another big cheer from the crowd gets Kenny visibly pumped.

“I gotta tell ya, I’ve had great memories of this place. From my first match to the time I came THIS close to winning the Mach PRO title. Kinda like how close I came to winning a shot at the Light Heavyw—“

Suddenly, Kenny is interrupted by the MP vet Tommy Ryan, who looks less than pleased as he enters the ring with a mic of his own.

“Who the HELL do you think you are, Kenny Freeman?”

The crowd immediately begins booing.

“You train with us for a mere six months before getting the call from the biggest company in this business? And meanwhile guys like me, who spent 5 plus years busting our asses, are refused the chance to shine outside the independent scene? You’re exactly why guys like Michael Thunder are so bitter!”

Kenny just glares at Tommy for a moment before responding.

“That doesn’t mean YOU need to be bitter, Tommy. I’m sorry you never got the call, but don’t you DARE try to take it out on me now!”

“Why the hell are you here tonight, anyhow? Did you come expecting to shill your match for the TFWF? That crap won’t fly with me, you little punk!”

With this Tommy slaps Kenny square in the face, knocking him down…but Kenny quickly gets back up, throwing some right hands of his own! He whips Tommy against the ropes, and on the rebound delivers the Retweet! After a while Tommy begins tapping out, but there are no refs as this is not an official match. Soon refs and wrestlers run down to break up the fight, practicially dragging Tommy away from the ring as Kenny grabs the mic.

“Tommy, I’m sorry you hate me so much. I really have no idea what’s come over you. You’re about as bad as Sean Panache, the one guy I’ve beaten in the TFWF who wants to ignore all that every chance he gets. But he won’t be able to ignore for much longer, ‘cause at Hard Steel I’m gonna humble him once again. And Mach PRO fans, I promise you I’ll never forget where I came from. Thank you for letting me be here tonight, and hopefully the next time I see you will be under better circumstances…with the North American Title slung over my shoulder!”

This gets a HUGE pop from the crowd as Kenny exits the ring. With this we cut to a shot of the TFWF banner as Kenny appears wearing quite a bit of face makeup and wearing arm tassels. He breathes in and out loudly, growling every so often before he begins shouting.

“Brothers and sisters, the Ultimate Freeman has never felt so good, so…powerful, as he does right now! We are just two days away from Hard Steel, and the Ultimate Freeman faces his greatest challenge yet! Sean Panache, Shagrath, APB, AB Divine, and Masked Marvel…this is your last warning! Panache, ignore me all you want…you cannot ignore me this Sunday when I beat you from pillar to post! The spirit of Freedom will reign down upon you, burning you with the fire of a thousand suns!”

He nods his head with a strange looking snarl before continuing.

“Shagrath, the MMA beast of Finland…all the technical skills in the world cannot stop the wrath of the Ultimate Freeman from crashing down upon you like a flood! Are you prepared to go toe to toe with 215 pounds of sheer destrucity? I hope so, Shagrath, because it’s coming for YOU!”

He breathes in deeply, breathing out heavily.

“AB Divine, I hope you are praying to whatever deity you believe in for mercy…because the Ultimate Freeman will show none! All your Divinity will be for naught this Sunday, when the Ultimate Freeman reveals his plan of salvation! You can not possibly imagine the path of righteousness, but I will help you walk it!”

He begins pumping his arms up and down now, still breathing heavily as he continues.

“Allen Bartsch, they call you the gatekeeper of the TFWF…but it just so happens that I am the key master! I will open the Portal of your destruction, Allen Bartsch!”

He is now shaking furiously, as though building anger up inside of himself.

“And then there is you, Masked Marvel! You act tough, but at Hard Steel the Ultimate Freeman will expose you for the coward you are! At Hard Steel, six men will enter but only one will walk out with a shot at the DWIWF North American Title…and it will be the Ultimate Freeman!”

He ends with his hands up in the air, walking off as the scene fades to black.

[JustinP]

First roleplay

Overall I thought it was a good first roleplay with the character.  I will agree with Russ in the fact that you should have split the scenes instead of running them together because well it just didn't flow like it could have.  With it being the first roleplay with that character I think some more background information should have been introduced on the character so we can get a little better feel for him.  The promo part in the ring was done good as you touched on numerous wrestlers without it being generic boring talk.

I would give it a grade of a B.

[Alex K]

I will eventually have to find a new interlude, there's only so much Muppets music I can find on Youtube lol. Anyways, rolling on with "Episode 4"...

The scene opens inside the bedroom of Kenny Freeman, uncrowned number one contender to both the Light Heavyweight and North American Championships. We find Kenny playing TFWF Mayhem 2012, looking none too pleased while playing as a CAW version of himself in a match with a CAW of Shagrath. He mutters to himself as he mashes the buttons on the Xbox controller.

“I’ll teach you to cost me a match, you sorry sack of—“

The muttering quickly turns into incoherent shouting as he mashes the buttons harder. Suddenly there is a knock on the door, and we hear the voice of Kenny’s mother from the other side.

“Kenny, what’s wrong honey?”

Kenny pauses the game, trying his best to calm down.

“Nothing, mom!”

“Don’t give me that ‘nothing, mom’ routine, I can tell something’s wrong! Is it because of that guy from Hard Steel?”

Kenny lets out a heavy sigh.

“Yeah. I had that Marvel guy dead to rights, and that stupid Finnish nitwit decided to throw ME out?”

“Kenny, what did I tell you about racist remarks?”

Kenny lets out an even heavier sigh, rolling his eyes.

“Did you just roll your eyes at me again?”

“Um…no…”

“Don’t lie to me, boy!”

Kenny winces when suddenly his phone begins ringing. He answers the phone to hear the voice of a TFWF representative.

“Oh, hi there. This Thursday, huh? Awesome, thank you.”

He hangs the phone up, shaking his head in disappointment.

“What’s wrong now, Kenny?”

“I got a match this Thursday against Rick Rampage.”

“That’s the big bald guy, right?”

Kenny chuckles, finally feeling better.

“Yep, good ol’ Rampagiac himself.”

Meanwhile, at the Circus of D—

“Ugh, really?”

“What’s that, dear?”

“Oh, nothing.”

Kenny goes back to his game, where his digitized self manages to make the CAW Shagrath tap out to the Retweet as we cut to the Muppet Interlude:

The Muppets: Ode To Joy

We come back from the interlude to a house show in Seattle, not too far from the Key Arena where Thursday Torcher will take place. The crowd is absolutely electric at this moment, having just seen a great TFWF match when “Little Less Conversation” begins playing over the PA system. The crowd is in an uproar as Kenny Freeman comes down the ramp, giving high fives to people in the crowd before making his way into the ring, where he gets a microphone from ringside.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…and welcome to a special LIVE edition of Cool Story, Bro! I’m your host with the most…”

He raises his mic up, allowing the crowd to yell out “K-Free, Kenny Freeman” before bringing the mic back to himself.

“How’s everyone doing tonight in Seattle, Washington?”

This gets a big pop from the crowd, much to the delight of Kenny.

“Yep, I’ve got my espresso shots from Starbucks and lemme tell ya, I’m ready to go! In just a couple of days I’ll be facing Rick Rampage…one of only two One Ring Circus members to have actually won their matches at Hard Steel.”

This news draws an even bigger pop from the crowd, as Kenny nods in agreement.

“I gotta be honest though, folks. When I first heard I was facing Rick Rampage, I was nervous. I mean, I thought that someone from the Circus must HATE me if they’re sending a THIRD member after me. After all, I beat their so-called head of security Sean Panache…and yes, I’m going to put that over their heads as long as I have to, to make a point…and came up just short of beating their favorite Rebel Child, Georgie Nickles. I’ve had people call me nothing but a little nerd, and a pipsqueak…but apparently I’ve got the attention of the group claiming to be the best thing in wrestling today. Who knows, maybe next week I’ll have to face MDK himself…”

The thought of this brings a small shiver down Kenny’s spine.

“But in the meantime, I get to face the Golden Boy himself, Rick frickin’ Rampage. It doesn’t look too good for yours truly, at least on the surface…after all, this is the guy that beat then World champ Phenom!”

This garners boos from the crowd, heavily in favor of the current Intercontinental Champion.

“I know, right? How is the guy that can’t beat Georgie Nickles and Masked Marvel—and never mind that he can’t win a battle royal, because that was due to a certain MMA fanatic being a sore loser—how can this guy, who’s currently one and three in the TFWF, stack up against a former Hardcore Champion? Here, let me tell you how—actually, let me SHOW you how I’m going to defeat Rick Rampage this Thursday at Torcher…”

He raises a hand to the TATron, which shows footage from TFWF Mayhem 2012. We start out with the proper entrance for a digitized Rick Rampage, followed by the special entrance Kenny made for his CAW as we hear him in the background.

“Man, there goes one sexy nerd for ya! Ladies, get your camera phones ready for a special photoshoot later!”

The footage cuts to a match between the two digital wrestlers—a rather one-sided affair, as though Kenny has rigged the game in his favor.

“Wait, here comes the money shot…”

Sure enough, we see a quick ending as the digital Kenny whips around the virtual Rampage before making him tap out with the Retweet before we cut back to Kenny in the ring as the crowd cheers loudly.

“And there you have it, folks. A rough estimate of how this Thursday is going to pan out for the Golden Boy. One Ring Circus, since I clearly have your attention I hope you’ll hear this too: after this little nerd is done with one of your Tag Team Champions, there’s no stopping me from what I plan on accomplishing. If I have to go through every single one of you to prove I can make it in this company, then I’ll do exactly that. Hard Steel was a turning point for the resistance against your tyranny, Circus of Doom…and starting this Thursday, this little Superboy’s gonna be on the front lines of the war. And when all is said and done, Rampage? The K…”

Kenny raises his mic once more as the crowd yells “…will set you FREE, bro!” He drops the microphone, leaving the ring as “Little Less Conversation” plays. He makes his way up the ramp, giving high fives to the fans as we fade to black.

[Rebel Child]

I can tell that you really enjoy the K-Free character.  You seem more, well to be redundant, free with him.  Comfortable even.  The Muppet interludes are really rather funny - and you already got the one that I was going to suggest  (See Mahna Mahna) but there are a ton of Muppet interludes, so you should be good for a good few months.

With that being said - I really think you turned up the volume on this one.  I enjoyed the in-ring promo and was able to really put over who K-Free is, as well as your opponent, the trials and tribulations that K-Free has gone through, and the mindset going into the match.

The only thing that I can see needing some work on is maybe something more in the character devlopment department, just to help him be fleshed out some more.  And make him truly yours.  He's almost there, you could just push it a little bit more.

[Alex K]

Thanks for the feedback, Cindy. This was a tough one to get out, but I think I did good with it. I sure hope so, it's K-Free's first ever title match lol:

Cool Story, Bro: Episode 6

The scene opens shortly after the close of Thursday Torcher, where we find a groggy Kenny Freeman stumbling around the hallway of the Assembly Hall. Various TFWF staff look on as the Internet sensation struggles to get his bearings. He stops at the sight of Ozzy Finch.

“Dude, what happened?”

“You got hit pretty hard, Kenny. Is everything okay?”

Kenny nods his head slowly, still looking around as though lost.

“I think so, man. Did I win?”

Ozzy looks at him with a confused look.

“Win what?”

“The debate. Did I win the debate?”

Ozzy sends a hand straight up to his face, shaking his head.

“That wasn’t really a debate, Kenny.”

“I know that, man…but did I win?”

“I…you know, Kenny, you should probably get ready for next week.”

Kenny nods in agreement.

“That’s the most brilliant thing I’ve heard all night. I should totally get ready. Who am I up against?”

“Well, I’ve got some good news…and some potentially upsetting news. The good news is you have a title match, a pretty important one in fact.”

Kenny’s face lights up in excitement.

“Awesome! I’m gonna train so hard, there’ll be no WAY that I could lose! I’m gonna go out there and show them all what I’m made of. I’m gonna…”

Kenny stops, looking at a concerned Ozzy.

“Wait, what’s the potentially upsetting news?”

Ozzy’s nerves become quite evident, as though he is afraid to break the news to Kenny.

“Well…”

“Come on, it can’t be that bad. I take it they’re finally giving me a shot at Jose Ramon?”

Ozzy shakes his head slowly.

“Legacy?”

Ozzy shakes his head again.

“Surely they’re not putting me up against Phenom, or even Fallen Angel. As nice a thought as that is, I don’t think the TFWF’s ready for Kenny Freeman to be…”

Ozzy blurts out with a mix of angst and fear.

“It’s Mosa! They’re putting you up against Drake Mosa for the North American title!”

Kenny’s eyes widen, a look of horror growing on his face as we cut to Kenny’s room. Here we find Kenny’s mother knocking on the door of his built-in closet.

“Come on out, Kenny! You can’t get ready for your match staying in there all week!”

We hear a muffled shout from inside the closet.

“Sure I can, Drake’s a closet case!”

Kenny’s mom lets out a sigh as she raises a hand to her face.

“Honey, I know you’re still hurt over losing to Darrius King. It happens, dear. Failure happens, and then we move on. You remember what that guy in the movie said, right?”

“Mom, you know how many movies have been released in…like, the past year alone? You’ll need to be specific.”

“That movie about the bat guy.”

All we hear from the closet is a light thud, possibly Kenny hitting his head against the wall.

“Are you talking about the why do we fall down line?”

“Yeah, that’s the one…why do we fall down, Kenny?”

A really loud sigh from inside the closet.

“So we can pick ourselves back up, Mom.”

“Exactly. So you lost, big deal. I have faith in you, Kenny. Your fans have faith in you. Now get out here, you have a flight to catch.”

The room goes quiet for a moment.

“Kenneth Xavier Freeman, if you don’t come out here right now…I’m going to ground you!”

Still silent for just a moment longer.

“Ground me? What, are you going to keep me from going to Thursday Torcher?”

His mother’s eyes shift left and right.

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I’ll do!”

The door swings wide open, revealing a stunned Kenny. He gives his mother a cold stare, shaking his head slightly.

“That doesn’t make any se—hey, why you’d bring the camera in here? Turn that thing off!”

With this we cut to static, bringing us to the Muppet Interlude (that’s right, it’s back!)…

The Muppets: Stand By Me

We return from the interlude to a house show in St. Louis, Missouri. We are just days away from a Thursday Torcher that is very special to one man in particular…and that man is coming down the ramp as “Little Less Conversation” blares over the PA system, much to the delight of the crowd. As Kenny enters the ring, his earlier fear seems to be replaced with some sense of hope…perhaps even confidence. He gets a microphone from ringside, waiting for the fans to quiet down before he starts talking.

“What’s up, St. Louis!”

The crowd gets rowdy hearing their hometown, much to the amusement of the Internet sensation.

“It’s been a heck of a ride this past month, hasn’t it? The TFWF Galaxy’s watched a LOT of stuff go down. We’ve got Phenom and Dragon Demonico about to throw down for the Intercontinental Championship…”

A big pop for each man.

“We’ve got the war between Fallen Angel and Jack Benevolence take a new turn as the One Ring Circus FINALLY sticks their nose into the World Title picture…”

A pop for the World Champion is followed by boos for Benevolence and MDK, and the Circus as a whole.

“And through every twist and turn, one thing remains constant…you guys, the TFWF Galaxy. Without you guys there would be no hope for a guy like me to make it in this company.”

The crowd cheers for Kenny, whose smile fades.

“And believe me, I could use all the hope I can get right about now. When I first found out I was facing Drake Mosa, I was scared…in fact, I was terrified. We’ve all seen what he’s capable of, we all know what he can do when he sets that depraved mind of his to it. This is the guy that made Joey Lupino tap out, after all. This is the guy that did all those…all those horrible things to Joey’s friend.”

Some heavy booing for Mosa, as well as his evil deeds of the past.

“But you know something, TFWF Galaxy? I was inspired by Joey’s willingness to suffer the pain for a greater cause. Because he’s fighting for what he believes in…and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Someone once said that courage is not a lack of fear, but rather overcoming it…and I’m going to overcome my fear so hard, Drake Mosa’s gonna be feeling it for the next three weeks!”

A big pop for Kenny now, as he starts to get mental momentum going.

“Drake Mosa, you’ve cast fear into so many people’s lives…but I’m going to give you the biggest scare of all. I’m going to do something everyone thought was impossible, Drake…I’m going to beat you, in the middle of THIS ring, and I’m going to take that North American Championship off your big ol’ shoulder. I’m going to do what Masked Marvel couldn’t do a while back, and as much as he might not like hearing this…I’m even going to do what Joey Lupino couldn’t do. Your time is over, Drake Mosa!”

The crowd is getting even louder now, Kenny nodding with approval.

“And Joey, I hope you’re listening too man. I’m going to do you a small favor, and take this man’s title away…and by doing so, I’m going to give you one less distraction from tearing this man limb by limb! As for you, Drake Mosa…come Torcher, the K will set you free from the burden of carrying that belt around with you all the time! Kenny Freeman, Northern American Champion…I like the sound of that. Don’t you, TFWF Galaxy?”

The crowd goes wild in approval as Kenny drops the microphone. He exits the ring as “Little Less Conversation” plays, giving high fives to people in the front row on his way up the ramp. He gets to the stage, taking one last look at the crowd with a smile as the scene fades to black.

[Nick]

I like scaredy cat faces as they're not common in efedding. Most go for the hero or the tough face, so it's nice to see a character who's scared shitless but still shows up to fight.The part with his mother talking him out of the closet to wrestle was good stuff. I think you covered what you needed to cover with Mosa, but I would've liked to have seen a little more match talk. What match talk you did have was refreshing though. Decent rp Russ.

Context or not, that's getting sigged.

I like how Nick hasn't said "Oh, then good job Alex" I appreciate the kind words, all the same. Also, no worries Russ...us Ewings gotta stick togeth--(remembers the actual soap from that EFK show) Oh right, anyways.
