[We are greeted by a smile from Curtis Penn.]

[It is not your typical loving warm smile that your mother would give you for cleaning your plate of the vegetables. It is not the smile that would jump across your face when your child makes the honor role for the first time. ]

[This is the smile of a human who has just heard the world’s most ignorant catchphrase of all-time.]

[He hold the microphone loosely in his hand… yes, Curtis Penn has opted out of being close to the camera or yelling in its general direction. He fears that the meaning of his upcoming promo will lose meaning if he is not heard clearly.]

Penn:
Justin Voss, you talk as if you’ve been around this game for a quarter of a century. You act as if you’re this rock that cannot be moved. You prance around pretending that you’re opinion fucking matters. 

[He pauses for a moment, dropping the microphone towards his waist. He wipes his beard with his free hand before bringing the microphone back into camera view.]

Penn:
Am I young? Yes, I am. Can I be beaten? I have taken my knocks, but I’ve knocked more around than I’ve taken.  Am I wise beyond my years? What I can say about that, at least I don’t have a stupid fricken catchphrase.

Justin Voss… I don’t have a catchy saying or years of experience, but I might have an idea about how to dislodge those titles from the Untouchable.

Just hear me out for before you start shouting about bringing the stupid to the ring...you'll be in there soon enough.

[The smile fades and the look of disdain takes up lodging on his face.]

Penn:
You... just leave, I'll take Dewey and Turner Jr. under the wing of MSX. Burke and myself will train them with the watchful eye of Mike Sloan.  We'll make sure that they are prepared when it comes time to face off with the Untouchables.

Of course the name would change, perhaps The Semi-Good Fight?  Wadda think?

[The whiskers of his beard curls as his lips bend into a smile.]

Penn:
With all jokes aside, Mike Sloan did alright with forming this lil’ clique. Burke and I have been around the same circuits, trained in the same gyms, and have taught at the same school for over five years. Luke Windham, a man that you are so enamored with, might actually be able wrestle in due time. And in due time this team could actually work out, maybe.

[He pauses.]

 Penn:
Voss you’re coming in to my home, in to Florida.  You’ll shake my hand; you’ll shake the hand of the man who will show you how inadequate you are. You’ll shake the hand of the man who will introduce you to failure in Defiance. You’ll shake the hand of the man who will make Justin Voss insignificant in future of Defiance. You’ll shake the hand of the man who will crush the viper’s head underneath his boot like a common garden snake.

[Just like the promo began we end; a smile on the face of Curtis Penn, a microphone draped in his hand, and a man full of bad intentions.]
