Caju gets a new set of duds.

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Thu Jul 24, 2008 11:10 am

Caju is heading home after a day spent in shopping malls, world renowned tailors and the like.
Raul Stevens, one of EUW's finest was the one responsible for such day. And what a day.. They both travelled from coast
to coast in a splendorous jet. He asked to be dropped a few blocks away from home. He was up to a 20 minutes walk..
- "I could get used to this kind of clothes." - He tought while people looked at him from across the road.
This was just the kind of things that made him felt important.
However, by the way he walked, Caju looked uncomfortable. A natural discomfort not caused by the clothes or shoes he weared,
but a discomfort caused by walking with such extravagant clothes.
-"I got to get used to this. Since i arrived at EUW, ive been receiving more and more fan letters.
Im already an idol to many""
2 blocks left to get home, Caju encounters a couple of kids, well known to him.
Caju: 'Wazup, boyz?
Kid 1: Caaju..? What happened?
Caju: Nothing much. Just shopping.
Kid 2: Are you to be like those misters in special suits?
Kid 1: yeah, Like the ones who like to walk tall an..
Caju: No, not at all! It's me, remember? I will always be myself!
Kid 1: Yeah, just like one of my neighbours. He used to speak with me when i was younger. Now that he graduated,
he doesn't even say hi to me.
Caju: Don't w..
Kid 2: I'm leaving. Everyone says the same every time in the beginning, but fame will change your mind!
Kid 1 & Caju: Wait!
To late, they were both running in the opposite direction of him.
That kid had some point in what he said. But he knew he would not change his mind just by wearing some pieces of clothes.
..3 days later...
Caju is shopping some food when a woman, distracted by another person spills some tomato pulp in Caju's pants.
Caju: Watch it lady! Do you know how much this pants costs?
Woman: Im sorry. I really am! It was an accident.. The woman kept asking sorry and offered to watch the pants at home.
Caju: Just leave it! Just try not the repeat the same. Be more careful next time!
Heading home in his car he took a time to reflect on that incident. He realized he was already becoming a new man.
Without further delays, he payed the shopping bill and headed home.
There, he started to torn his sleeves out of the jacket he was wearing.
He threw his shoes out of the window and used a scissor to do some personal mods to the pants he was wearing.
He was not going to dress formal all the time. Nor casual in that matter. He was personalizing his wear gear to his liking,
keeping his old style.. in a new set of clothes!

Nice - I can work off that!

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sat Jul 26, 2008 8:18 am

At the end of the segment with Caju's match, since I don't know who won, something like....

xxxxxxxxx's celebration is suddenly interrupted when Raul' Steven's music plays and Raul comes out, microphone in hand, and walks toward the ring.

Joe "Airplane": Oh-oh, Cat - Raul does not look happy.

Wild Cat: Joe, that right there is one upset man - I wonder who he's upset at?

Raul: Caju, Caju, Caju - I got a note from my tailor this week saying that you had paid off the bill. I was a little surprised, and then, I come tot he show tonight ready to see you dressed to impress, looking like the man of means you are becoming, and then what to I see? You're really disappointing me.

Caju asks for a microphone and one of the support crew tosses one to him.

Caju: Raul, I should have called you. Look - I can't think you enough for the trip, for the clothes, for the experience - but you don't understand - I"m from the streets, the people back home don't understand me dressing up - they think that I"m changing, that I won't care about them - and I was getting too concerned with how I looked instead of just being me. Those clothes aren't me.

Raul: Well isn't that nice - you all concerned with what the people back home think about you. Here's the thing though - you HAVE changed. You are NOT a street urchin. You're a wrestler for the E.U.W. You're a high-riser. You're a success int he making. You're going to have more money than you know what to do with. You think people back home won't think you've changed then? So what - are you going to keep riding your bike everywhere you go? You going to live in a cinder-block house? You going to keep eating rice and beans?

Caju: Hey! Are you making fun of where I came from?

Raul: No! I'm asking you if you seriously think dressing like a street urchin is part of your path to success?

Caju: I'm NOT a street-urchin. I'm Caju! When I go back home, people are proud of me. When I walk down the street - they know who I am. When I live in their neighborhood, they know I"m their friend.

Raul: Friend? Caju, you have money now - you're not their friend, you're a meal ticket. You're the guy they'll come to when their kid needs medicine. You're the guy they'll run to when their car breaks down. You're the guy they'll look up when they have a little sister they want to see hooked up.

Caju: What do you know?

Raul: Know? Here's what I know - if you don't want them to Buttmunch you dry you better learn to get some partners. You want to help them? Build a community center - but you'll need some partners. So go ahead, take your shredded up suit, died hair and street attitude into a board room and see how they help you. Go ahead and walk up to a local business man and say, "Hi - I'm Caju," and see if they care. You don't look like a success, so no one outside of your little barrio is going to treat you like one.

Caju looks hurt, drops the microphone, turns his back on Raul and starts to leave the ring.

Raul grabs him by the shoulder, turns him around and says, "I don't care who you are or how hurt you are by what I said - don't turn your back on me."

Caju pushes Raul away, and Raul snaps. He smacks Caju over the head with the microphone, knocking him to the ground.

Raul Stevens grabs Caju's arm positions it between his legs and says "E.U.W!"
Then Raul Stevens grabs both of his opponents legs and squeezes them together while sitting on his opponent's back - executing a devastating Euw Hold.

As he holds onto the hold Caju screams in pain!

The ref grabs Raul to try to break the hold but Raul refuses to let go.

Caju is tapping and tapping to be released.

Joe "Airplane": For the love of God, Cat - Raul is going to cripple him! Caju just finished a match, he can't fight off Raul now.

Wild Cat: That push really set Raul off - he's not right in the head. I don't think he even realizes it's Caju he's fighint.

Joe "Airplane": Someone better help Caju - listen to the crowd - they're screaming for Raul to let go.

Big Geek's music hits and he comes running to the ring carrying a baseball bat!

Wild Cat: It's Big Geek! He'll put an end to this.

Big Geek smacks Raul across the back with the baseball bat and Raul releases the hold. Big Geek slides out of the ring and grabs Caju by the arm, pulling him out with him. He helps Caju to the back while Raul stands in the ring staring angrily at the two of them as they go up the ramp.

Joe "Airplane": I don't think we've seen the end of this!

Wild Cat: Big Geek came in the nick of time - I hope Caju isn't seriously injured from that brutal attack by Raul.

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sat Jul 26, 2008 8:33 am

Joe "Airplane": Cat, I just heard that there's a special match that's been added to our show tonight! Caju and Big Geek have challenged Raul and partner of his choice to a match, and Foremole agreed and added it to the show!

Wild Cat: But Caju already fought tonight! He's in no condition to fight again!

Joe "Airplane": Maybe not, but he's ready to prove to Raul that he's a success regardless of the clothes he wears. Let's see who Raul chooses for a partner.

The camera shows Raul Stevens backstage entering a dressing room. Inside the room is El Grezzo! The crowd pops when they see him.

Raul: Hey, El Grezzo, I suppose you saw what went down earlier between me and Caju.

El Grezzo: Raul - that was despicable. I can't believe you did that to someone you called a friend!

Raul: I know, I know! I don't know what came over me - but man - I just lost it when he turned his back on me and then pushed me. Sometimes I just snap when people are disrespectful.

El Grezzo: But still.... dude, you need to make things right.

Raul: I was going to, but then I found out that I have a match with him, and he's in his locker room with Big Geek at the door. I tried to go in, but Big Geek said he was getting his ankle taped and that if I had something to say I could mumble out an apology through my fat bloody lips after the match. Man, there's a level of hostility there...

El Grezzo: You think? You just about wrecked Caju's career.

Raul: Well enough about that... Listen, I was thinking - I didn't see your name on the card tonight. Is management still ignoring your talent?

El Grezzo: I don't know what gives. It's like I'm a main eventer or a no-show on the card. It's unbelievable.

Raul: I know! You're one of the best wrestlers here! I don't get it at all. Here's the deal - I need a partner tonight. Will you tag with me to show management how good you are? Maybe they don't think you're a team player...

El Grezzo: Not if you're going to be crazy man again, Raul. I want no part of that.

Raul: I'm under control now - we aren't going to hurt anyone. Let's just get through the match and get this nightmare of a night over with. Oh, and I was wondering if you could help me with something else.

Raul whispers something in El Grezzo's ear.

El Grezzo: You got it. Let's go wrestle.

Joe "Airplane": Cat, what do you think Raul whispered to El Grezzo?

Wild Cat: I don't know, Joe - but I think we'll know before the night is over.

End of show extra segment - if it works - I don't want Raul to go heel, we have enough of them on the roster arleady, so I was thinking...

Big Geek and Caju are in the locker room after the match, in their street clothes. Big Geek is standing with a gym bag over his shoulder, and Caju is behind him still stuffing clothes into his bag getting ready to leave underground for the night. There's a knock on the door. Big Geek opens the door and Raul Stevens and El Grezzo are standing there.

Big Geek: What are you doing here - haven't you done enough tonight.

Raul: Good match guys, really. Look, could you give this to Caju for me? It's from both of us.

Big Geek: Sure.

Big Geek takes an envelope from Raul and closes the door. He turns and hands it to Caju who is coming out with a quizzical look on his face, wondering who was just there. He opens the envelope, reads the note and his eyes get wide.

Big Geek: What is it?

Caju: Listen! The note says: "Sorry about any misunderstanding. We believe in you - believe in yourself. The clothes don't make the man, the man makes the man." There's also a check for 25,000 fantaeuro from El Grezzo and Raul that says "Caju's Community Assistance Fund" on the memo line.

Big Geek: Dang! Maybe Raul's alright after all...

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sat Jul 26, 2008 9:15 am

It's a brilliant idea. You're truly exceptional, Raul!! Smile

Thanks - the one where I confronted Caju felt a little long, but I didn't know where to cut it. If you want to chop it down a little to the basic components, feel free Smile

That's what good editors do!

Caju runs out of the room to the parking lot

Caju: Raul!, Raul!

Caju sees Raul's car but Raul is not in it

Caju turns around and begins to leave but then sees El Grezzo

Caju: El Grezzo, where is Raul?

El Grezzo: Fulfilling his end of the bargain

Camera fades out

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sat Jul 26, 2008 12:59 pm

Hmmmmm. So what is it that you have Raul doing? Send me a pm if there are some segments you want me to write to follow this up.

Heh I'm interested to know what El Grezzo is doing too! He seems to be throwing around some big money there.

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sat Jul 26, 2008 2:04 pm

Yeah - but you're a big-name playa, you got money to burn lol!

Middleweight Joined : 29 Feb 2008 Posts : 112 Level : 12

Well that's true. If you find out what the 'bargain' is will you give me the heads up. I'd like to put some promo's of my own forward if that's ok. Also, same as Raul, I dont want to go heel...yet Twisted Evil

It's stilljust in consideration right now, but that last line makes me sound a bit evil.

Heavyweight Joined : 09 Jan 2008 Posts : 529 Level : 10

I put the last part in because it would make a big hook for next season and an easy way to have a storyline there are two things that I am thinking El Grezzo will make you do...
1) Be his hitman (all the GMs don't respect him and he is trying to earn that so you will be masked hitman and attack wrestlers in hallways and stuff)
2) Be his fashion conslutant and get him some new clothes

What do you think about these and you can add more as well

Middleweight Joined : 29 Feb 2008 Posts : 112 Level : 12

One of my ideas was to cut a promo, either just randomly in a show, or in one of the segments like Bam Bam's corner, saying something along the lines of how I used to expect to be noticed, but now I'm going to make everyone notice me, and also something about how Raul opened my eyes and was the first to notice what I had to offer, so I'd have his back...of course down the line, this could lead to the heel turn, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

The only issue I would have about the 'hitman' idea is that's kind of a heel thing, in my eyes anyway, which I dont think either of us are pushing for right now. However, we could go with a student/mentor type gig if it goes in this direction?

Subject: Re: Caju gets a new set of duds. Sun Jul 27, 2008 1:55 pm

I think it could work well if we both had something to offer each other - I can be the guy noticing El Grezzo's potential and going to bat for him, and he could notice that even though I'm a arrogant, I'm really a good guy. I could keep making pushes for him to be in shows, and he could push for me to get involved in the community, for example.

I kind of like the slightly comedic bits, so... El Grezzo could get me involved in community service segments like working in a soup kitchen, visiting kids in the hospital, etc. and I could keep getting my stylish clothes dirty and getting mad at someone, then he could get me to see I was wrong.

So - my part of the bargain could be "working off" the money he paid by getting involved, and he could be proud of me, bringing the camera crews to see the "new" Raul Stevens - and they'd keep catching me vertabreaking people or locking them in submission moves because they spilled on me... does that make sense?

Then - because people see me as so arrogant, maybe Airplane Joe and Wildcat keep asking what is in it for me to keep pushing El Grezzo, so that could set up a heel turn later for either of us - depending on what the fed needs...
