??? – “This is an introduction,”
said Online Championship Wrestling’s recently promoted producer, Jim Black as he centered the camera shot on one of OCW’s many newly acquired talents, Andre Black.
Jim Black – “What you’re going to do is look directly into the camera, and tell the OCW audience who you are and why you’re here. You need to give them a taste of who Andre Black is.”
Andre smirked and shook his head at Jim’s request. Feeling a bit insulted, he responded.
Andre Black – “Do I look like one of your inbred cousins, Jim? Is there a sign above my head that says, “I don’t know what I’m doing here”? What do you think? Just because I’m black, I don’t know what these cameras are for? Do I look like I just came out of the jungle, Jim?!”
Jim Black – “No, I didn’t..”
Before Jim could finish his sentence, Andre cuts him off.
Andre Black – “Shut your cracker ass mouth! This is my time, Jim. This is The Shogun’s moment. Your last name might be Black, but you are the whitest ghost The Shogun has ever laid his eyes upon.”
Jim averts his eyes to avoid looking at Andre. He doesn’t want to make matters worse. Unsure of knowing what to do next, Andre gives him a little hint.
Andre Black – “Are we going to start this? The Shogun is ready to provide the OCW audience with an extreme dose of knowledge.”
Jim nods and tells the cameraman to ready the count.
Cameraman – “We’re on in 5, 4, 3…”
The cameraman holds up his hand, motioning the last two numbers. 2, 1…
As the feed goes live, Andre adjusts his jacket and sits upright in his chair. The X-Tron fades in on the newcomer, live from Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. Before speaking, The Shogun looks around the production room. All he can see is the color white. Not a single black man in a position of prominence. Noticing this, The Shogun removes his glasses and hat, and looks into the camera.
Andre Black – “It’s funny, isn’t it? We’re in New York City. A city that’s full of color and pride, yet when I look around this room, all I see are white faces. The hypocrisy of this company is astounding!”
Andre shakes his head in disappointment, as the crowd listen to what to the rookie has to say.
Andre Black – “Hello OCW. My name is Andre Black. I AM The Shogun of Compton, and with good reason. I’m a leader. I’m revolutionary, but gangster. On top of all of that, I am going to be the first black man in YEARS to be OCW World Heavyweight Champion.”
Realizing what he’s saying, the crowd kind of agree. OCW hasn’t seen a black World Heavyweight champion in a long time.
Andre Black – “The last black champion this company has had was a man called R.D. Money. What happened then? His black ass sold out. R.D. went from being a role model to black teenagers to a man that acts whiter than the Hanes underwear he has on. Now he’s nothing but a house negro.”
The crowd stand in anger at the disrespect this new kid is showing to one of their fan favorites.
Andre Black – “This company is nothing but white. Run by a man who isn’t even white HIMSELF. That’s right. A Latino man is spoon feeding you these white bread champions, and all you do is sit there and say, “Thank you sir. May I have another?” Disgraceful.”
Andre turns his head and spits onto the ground.
Andre Black – “We have some of the best black talent available, and what happens? They get held down. Shoved into the dirt because they aren’t “safe” enough to be the face of a promotion. Names like Jookie Marley and K. Dangelo. Ed Reed and Soul Glo. Even Royce Bentley, the son of R.D. Money! Sean McGee, a Future Investment winner! ALL of these names. These men have endless potential and talent. What do they get? NOTHING! Wait, no. That’s a lie. All they get is, “Here! Take a title shot and be happy because you’re not getting another one!”
Andre Black – “And no. I didn’t forget to mention Smythe DaWonder. How could anyone forget Smythe? The man who pretends to be black. You ain’t foolin’ no one son. You’re just another inbred white boy that forgot to take off his Whoopi Goldberg costume off after Halloween.”
The Shogun laughs as the crowd begin a small chant for the Hall of Famer, R.D. Money.
Andre Black – “My name is Andre Black. I am the Shogun of Compton. The future World Heavyweight Champion. The Malcolm X of Wrestling. And if you’re wondering why they call me that…well, it’s because I’m going to be on top of this company. By any means necessary."
Andre puts his glasses back on and stands up. He walks out of the camera’s line of site as the camera fades to black.
