Introduction Promo:
The crowd is a mixture of cheers and boos as an unfamiliar theme song plays, most cheering in anticipation of a new addition to the roster. The fans start getting impatient, no one walking out onto the stage until the song reaches the beginning of its lyrics. A man in jeans and a dark hooded jacket walks out, the hood hiding his face. The lights are low, the arena mostly dark besides a spotlight that shines on the man. The man walks to the ring, a microphone in his hand. He walks up the steel steps and gets into the ring pacing a little, the spotlight following him, before he lifts the microphone to his mouth.
Hooded man: Alright! Shut it already!
The crowd suddenly goes quiet, save for a few who decide to boo the man instead.
Hooded man: Now, I’m only here because so many people insisted upon it…
He pauses and some of the people in the crowd cheer, recognizing the voice.
Hooded man: I said shut it! *he continues after the crowd’s quiet again* Like I said, I’m only here because people suggested I should be. My father… my girlfriend… Hell, even some of the other people backstage and Jerry himself have been bugging me about it!
The man pauses to pull his hood down, revealing himself to be Cody; the crowd cheering and booing again.
Cody: *hisses* Shut up! I’m trying to talk here! *he paces a little before leaning against the ropes* Like I said. I’m only here by popular demand. I had plenty of fans in the WWE, I still do. I had the intercontinental title and had a feud with main eventer Randy Orton…
Cody stops, looking angry as the crowd cheers at the mention of Orton.
Cody: *hisses* Stop it! Shut up! He’s not even here and probably won’t be! I am here though despite my better judgment. See I had a title, I had fans, I had decent feuds and storylines; yet I dropped it all just for you lot and yet you can’t even keep quiet while I talk. You see, I unlike some other superstars in the business actually care about the people who watch. People like your ‘beloved’ Cena…
He suddenly stands up properly again looking angry when the crowd goes crazy at the Cena mention.
Cody: *yells* SHUT IT! Cena’s gone! How can you even still cheer him? He abandoned this show for god sakes! He laid down for opponents; even though he always spouted that crap about never giving up, he didn’t turn up to matches and then left without another word! How can you idolize a man like that? I would never lay down for an opponent, whether they’re female or not. I’m here to prove I care about the business and to show I respect it and the people in it. If the girls want to fight the guys, let them. I won’t however, stand being interrupted while I’m talking, people cheering for brightly colored mascots who take off on the business; or men who disrespect the women by insulting and threatening them and flirting with them when it’s unwanted.
He sighs and shakes his head as people boo him for insulting Cena.
Cody: It is unacceptable for men to treat a woman that way. People like Lucas, who has both threatened and flirted with women who don’t want or deserve it recently, have made me realize something should be done. Jerry, along with my father and at the time, Eric Bischoff; started the CWA so that the men and women in the wrestling business both got equal opportunities, yet that still isn’t happening. I’m only here to help fix that.
He pauses and runs a hand through his hair before continuing.
Cody: Being a part of the Legacy …don’t even bother cheering… taught me something. It taught me that to get what you want; you can’t play by the rules because they just stop you and slow any progress down. So, in keeping with that ‘legacy’ I’m here to help my father’s and Jerry’s cause…
The camera zooms in for a close up as Cody smirks.
Cody: By any means necessary…
He grins an almost evil grin and throws down the microphone before leaving the ring.

REASON FOR JOINING CWA:
Because the CWA needs me here, that’s why. Why else would so many people be asking and requesting I join?
