Preview #18

(A/N: I kept this promo hidden in my Quotes section in my "Our House" folder on my notes app for a while, so I thought I might share what I plan on putting into the story whenever I get to the point of Tony challenging for the NXT Championship belt.

For some context, since Bo Dallas was Chanp around this time, which was 2013-2014, and NXT Arrival, the very first NXT PPV that the company has ever held, was taking place on a Saturday, and Bo was a heel at this time, he was insulting Toby every single chance he gets due to his past.

What you're about to read is inspired by Eddie Guerrero's "I am an addict" promo against Brock Lesnar in 2004 or something like that, and I'll put the clip here if you need to know how it all went down:

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I wanted to do something similar while building up this match between Dallas and Chester, and I think what you're gonna read will make you shed a tear or two.

Let me know how the promo turned out because I worked very hard puting it together and I really want to make sure I have it be tearjerking while trying to make it as inspiring as it could possibly be.)

Bo: I hope you try your best, Chester, because at NXT Arrival, when it's all said and done, you're gonna be back in Norwich looking for scraps.

When he said that, the fans booed as I was ready to give him a comeback promo that nobody will ever expect.

Ever since he's been talking shite about me, I've been planning this promo for a while and trying to figure out how to counter all the insults he's been saying to me.

Then, I thought it would be better if I spoke from the heart while writing down what I should say into the microphone.

Now that I've written it out and memorized it word for word, it was now time to deliver.

Me: Really, Bo? You think I'll be back on the streets of Norwich and look for scraps again? No, you are wrong, mate. You know, let me tell you a quick story: 20 years ago, when I was a wee boy, my dad died in an accident, and my mum died of an illness that was never known to me.

The fans went quiet as I kept speaking into the mic, as I really want people to hear my story and how I overcame everything to make it to WWE.

Me: Day by day, I survived, looking for pieces of food from garbage cans, garbage bags, dumpsters, whatever you could think of, and not a day went by when I thought I wasn't going to live anymore, in fact, I don't think I ever told anybody this, but during that time, I wanted to die.

The fans were shocked and I saw some tearing up while Bo, he was smirking, but he won't be for much longer.

Me: I wanted to die because I thought I would be forgotten forever. No one would ever miss me, no one would ever care that I ever existed, but you know who saved me? A woman with red dyed hair who came from the same wrestling family that I came from, despite me never having their last name, but they gave me their blessing to use it for my career, and that name is KNIGHT!

The fans popped when I mentioned Knight because they know what family I'm talking about, as I'm about to give context to those who don't.

Me: Sweet Saraya, her husband Ricky, their boys Zak and Roy, and their daughter, who is now considered the youngest NXT Superstar in history, who happens to be my girlfriend, and that is Paige!

When I mentioned Saraya's ring name, they popped as I had to reveal our relationship. I didn't want to confirm all the rumors, but in this case, it's better to reveal it now than later.

Me: They took me in when I had nothing: no home, no food, no water, no clothes, no money, not even a bed or a bloody shower! They treated me like I'm one of them, and not a day goes by where I don't think about it, because whenever I do, I cry because I was and still am blessed to be standing here today!

I kept going...

Me: And here's another thing, mate, I don't wrestle for money or anything like that, I wrestle for respect! I wrestle to survive, and being signed to the biggest wrestling company in the world, that's the biggest accomplishment I've ever had for 25 years on this earth! I earned every single thing I've ever worked hard for: I got the money, I got the house, I got the food, I got the car, hell, I even got the girl, but the reason you want to bring up my homelessness is because you just want to make yourself look better than me!

I knew I had Bo and the audience in my hands and I was ready to say the one thing that he needs to hear...

Me: You can try to feel better about yourself by bringing that up all you want, but you'll never deter me from succeeding in this great sport because at the end of the day, whatever you say about me, you can take all that and shove it up your arse!!!

The crowd popped as I smirked, but I was also feeling emotion as I spoke. I needed everyone to know my story and what better way than a promo?

Me: You got nothing on me, man! You got nothin'! You can't insult me for shite because I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter, and more importantly, I'm a lover, not just to Paige, but to wrestling! Wrestling gave me something I never thought I'd ever have, and that is life! LIFE! And for you tell me that I'm gonna go back to being homeless in the streets, guess what, you bastard! I already have a home, and that is a wrestling ring, but when I stepped foot in an NXT ring for the first time, I turned it into a mansion!

When I said that, the fans popped a second time, knowing that every wrestling ring I enter, it's my home and, not a a fun fact, there were times when I couldn't afford a hotel room and I slept under the ring the day before the show.

That's how I lived back then and nobody else knew what it was like, well, except Rey Mysterio since he spoke about it in an interview at one point, so I wanted to reference that part of my life while cutting a promo on Dallas and I think a good job of turning it into a metaphor while referencing that time in my life.

Me: That Championship you hold around your waist, mate, that is a testament for me to prove to everyone that I belong! That is a testament to say to the family who I thought I'd never have, "I did it"! That is a testament to prove to everyone who has ever doubted me that a scrawny, homeless, and starving 5 year old lad from Norwich, England has made it to the top of the world, and that means everything to me!

I see fans tearing up and crying from the promo I cut tonight, and I really think I struck a chord with them and it's not A-Minor.

I finished my promo with...

Me: At NXT Arrival, Bo, you're gonna find out that you underestimating me is your ultimate destruction, and if I die trying to get that title off of you, then so be it, because when we finally face off, we're not just gonna wrestle, we're gonna kill each other, but in the end, only one hand will be raised and the announcer will go, "Here is your winner, and NEW NXT Champion, CHESTER 'BLOODY' KNIGHT"!!!
