Straight to the point, very little fluff. From what I gathered of that promo, Romero is a man that loves to hear himself speak, and he's definitely captivating when he does, so I thought that was genuinely GREAT. The dialogue is an amazing strength of that promo, imo.
Personal Opinion - Not a fan of the narrative. The stuff like "your woman creamed her pants" is FUCKING HILARIOUS, but it would mean SO MUCH more if that stuff came from Romero himself. Would give him another layer of character to deliver the comedy within the promo vs. relying on the unseen narrator. In addition from a role-playing perspective, "the audience" doesn't hear the narration, so that line was wasted in a way. I hope that makes sense, and again, that's more my personal take on narration, nothing actually wrong with doing it the way you did.
A quick proofread may help the few spelling/grammatical mistakes, but nothing was glaringly wrong to where I'd be pulled out of the promo.
I hope you don't think I'm dwelling on negative stuff too much, because I enjoyed the piece very much. Especially the dialogue, which was 90% of the promo. Keep up the solid work, and I look forward to more!

Nah, you're good man.. I actually appreciated what you said. I honestly don't even think about doing the narration half the time. Most of the time I go in thinking I'm going to do a just a regular scene description and then two seconds in, I start doing the internal dialogue.. I honestly don't know where it comes from lol.
But, I'll take it into consideration! Also, the way I see it, at the end of the day, this is a wrestling game.. So, I don't really ever focus too much on the outside stuff and just stick to strictly writing a straight up promo, instead of all the fluff.

I like the narration style you use and Williams is wrong. I feel like the narration is more of an enhancer to the already large ego of Silas Romero. Look at the way Frank Debauchee uses his narration, I feel you use it in much the same way. The one criticism I do have is a criticism I have for most people. I'm not a fan of the whole "you don't know me, you don't know what I've been through" approach that people use, and in your first promo from US 21 (the one I'm basing this criticism on) I noticed a bit of that. Not to say that it can't be used ever. I may be disillusioned by it because I literally saw it in every promo on the Aimoo circuit. I'd like to see Silas show some weakness at some point so that monsters like Barrel look more convincing. Not to say you should be cowering in your boots, but I'd like to see just a sliver more of doubt in the mind of Silas Romero for big guys. I use this comparison quite often because I feel like the Manami Toyota / Aja Kong feud exemplified the way small wrestlers should handle larger opponents. Toyota would be nervous around Kong, but still fight to win. She would power out of pins by using her leg strength to bridge out of the pin. Silas is a big man with a lot of weight on him, however Barrel was significantly bigger. So the rolling elbow should be a hard move for you to pull off. It would have been neat if that height difference was acknowledged as a weakness for Romero and have him tell Barrel how he could knock him the fuck out despite the height difference. That's literally the only thing I could come up with. Your promos are pretty solid. WAR should be fun. In summary, how would I rate this promo? Yep, that's about right.

I love Silas, huge mark. The batman reference was golden and his ability to pick apart the inconsistency of other people's promos makes him witty and verbally dangerous. He has this pitbull demeanor about him.
My only criticism is the constant swearing. After about the fifth "fuck" I feel it starts to compromise the integrity of the piece. I get he's edgy but in all honesty? I don't think you need it to empathize what you're saying. The quality of your writing stands out by itself.
Stay golden Pony Boy.

Why WHY why ? One of us will hurt our fingers, TOO MUCH typing. Anyway Joke aside.
First of all the First Roleplay with the BATMAN REFERENCE was pretty awesome. So I gotta agree with Frank Debauchee on that. Second how Silas talked about Dante [ being Dante lol let's put it that way ] is pretty GOLDEN. I loved it, I don't know if we should call it back and forth session, but so far its been a good read. Also you try to explain Dante about how he can't be a good guy if he goes out there breaking people skull and comparing him to fraternity boy because He wants to get a one night stand was my favorite line too.
But Frank is wrong about the swearing part, I think Swearing is must for a character like Silas Romero; so KEEP ON SWEARING brother.
