Holly: Getting Jo's Cease and Desist

[OrochiGeese]

Holly promo

(A lot of this corresponds with recent PW-W happenings between Holly and Jo Ryder. Because of that, I will now include the relevant parts, and THEN i will give the promo itself)

----------------------------------------

Background info: Holly has made some comments regarding Jo Ryder in recent OrochiGeese PW-W RP's. The most notable comments are:

Situation #1

"RIG: "So you two, and Ti'en, still got each other's backs? It certainly seemed that way during Dijon's match with Eddie Swan..."

Holly (interrupting): "Oh, you mean when OG and Ti'en advanced on the "Divine" Jo Ryder and almost had her on her knees begging? Not that Jo Ryder on her knees in front of a bunch of guys is anything new, but... "

"Situation #2

Reporter #5: This next question is for Holly.

Holly: "That's Ms. Holly or ma'am to you, show some respect"

Reporter #5: Yes ma'am. Um, before the event, you said some pretty disparaging things about Jo Ryder...

Holly: "Yeah, so....what's she gonna do about it? I'm not worried about Jo Ryder, or Team Ryder, or the new Grandmaster Champion, Eddie Swan. If Jo has a problem with me alluding to her "on her knees" business practices, she'll just have to deal with it and "suck it up", something she has no problem doing..."

-----------------------------------------
Actual Holly (and OG) RP:

"(Scene starts in OrochiGeese's office at Orochi-O's Corporate building)

*It's noon and OrochiGeese is filing through his daily mail when he sees a rather official looking letter sent by Jo Ryder*

OG: "What the hell, why is Jo Ryder sending me mail? I wonder if this is about Ti'en and I "advancing" on her during Dijon's match with Eddie..."

*OG opens up the letter, starts to read the letter, gets a surprised look on his face... and frowns*

OG: "@#%$! I KNEW she went too far. We'd better handle this now."

*OG buzzes his secretary to send Holly into his office*

(5 minutes later, Holly walks into OG's office)

Holly: "What's wrong Geese?"

OG: "You better take a look at this letter we got today. Its from none other then Jo Ryder...and it pertains specifically to you...or, rather, some of your past actions"

(Holly reads the letter which says the following)

-------------------------------------------------------------
(OOC: Thanks Twinky for the letter!)

"To: Orochi-O's CEO, Orochi Geese
CC: Orochi-O's Executive of Public Relations,
Orochi-O's Executive of Legal Department

RE: Cease and Desist

Attention Orochi-O's CEO;

I would like to bring to your attention recent
allegations made by Orochi-O's employee Holly that
borderline defamation of character - various insults
too vulgar to repeat in writing, that would make even
someone as low brow as Frog Jones blush.

Ryder Management Group, LLC., and it's most notable
brand - "Team Ryder" (tm) - is very dependant upon
it's members "keeping their noses clean" as it were, a
morality must be upheld. With Holly's slanderous
comments at various Orochi-O's Press Conferences, it
becomes difficult to have the high moral standard we
struggle to achieve to separate us from other
professional wrestlers.

We have had nothing but a POSITIVE relationship with
Orochi-O's Company, and the Team Ryder Expo shows are
a visible example of that relationship.

My demands are simple - I want a public apology from
Holly, and for her allegations to CEASE and DESIST,
lest I pursue legal options. Professional Wrestling is
a difficult path to follow, and the line between "real
life" and "in ring" statements is a fine one -
however, they are UNPROVOKED, and I wish for them to
stop IMMEDIATELY.

Copies of this letter shall be kept for future
records, thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Joann Laine Ryder"

Holly: "Wow, what a bi

OG: "Ok listen Holly, you and I both know that her letter was a peculiar move. But still, i think you HAVE gone too far in the things you have said recently about Jo Ryder.

Holly: "So what? If she can't "handle" what i said, she should meet me in the ring."

OG: "Don't answer that from "wrestler" Holly's perspective, answer it from "Head of Orochi-O's Public Relations" Holly! It doesn't look too good for us if Jo Ryder is suing our head of public relations for commenting about her being on Jo being on her knees in front of men!!"

Holly: "(blushes) Oh Geese... it wasn't clear that I meant it THAT way (gives a teasing smile)"

OG: "The point is...whatever personal issues exist between you and Jo Ryder, and i can tell they obviously do, we can't allow that to affect the public perception of us OR our business relations with Jo Ryder. We've had a positive business relationship with Jo Ryder that has benefitted our company and it would be foolish to throw it all away just because of a few offhanded comments. Certainly, as the professional that you are, you can see that too, right?"

*Holly grows silent*

OG: "Holly, right?"

*Holly appears to pout but then looks somewhat ashamed*

Holly: "You're right Geese...it isn't smart from a business perspective. But i really didn't think those comments were over the line!"

OG: "Be that as it may, the point is that Ms. Ryder did not take kindly to what you said and is about to take action."

Holly: "She just didn't interpret it properly, thats all! It was just, uh, a misunderstanding, yeah!"

OG: "Ok, that's fine, so clear it up with her. You read the letter, you saw what she wants, right?"

Holly: "She want a public apology from
me and for my allegations to CEASE and DESIST"

OG: "Are you willing to do follow that course of action?"

Holly: "Yes, i am"

OG: "Ok, then in a few days, we will have a press conference where you publicly apologize to Jo Ryder"

*Holly is silent*

OG: "Holly, ordinarily it wouldn't bother me to hear you say those things about someone else...in fact, it often amuses me to hear your berate someone, but not in this case."

Holly: "Why can YOU tear RIG's to shreds verbally and I can't make a few off handed, VAGUE, comments about Jo?"

OG: "Easy answer...the RIG is worthless! I get nothing from him and he holds no value to me. Hell, next time if you want to berate the RIG, by all means do it! Enjoy it! But Jo Ryder is actually a person worth working with. I'm not asking you to be a generally "nice" person, i sure as hell am not. If Jo Ryder was another nobody, i'd join in with your chidings!! But this isn't about morality and idealism, it's about business and realism. And this isn't about wrestling either...or what either of us do in the ring or how i act towards fellow PW-W wrestlers...

OG: "Hell, you saw me and Ti'en advance on Jo during Dijon's match with Eddie Swan...and Ti'en and I would do it again because it corresponded to IN-RING actions! It distracted Eddie which was our in-ring plan. But Jo didn't send me a letter complaining about that cause she already knows how dangerous I am in the ring and that doesn't affect HER reputation...

OG: "This is about business...and you know how much reputation means in business. And she is alleging that your comments have hurt her reputation. Whether it be true or not, she believes it. And whatever differences Jo Ryder and Team Ryder have with us in the PW-W wrestling world, we still have a very good, mutually beneficial business relationship, and I would like to keep that. And she was generous enough to give you the opportunity to clear the situation up before she took legal action, i suggest we take that opportunity."

Holly: "Ok OG, we'll have the press conference. In the meantime, i'll prepare a speech."

OG: "Thank you Holly, not just from me, but from Orochi-O's and its consumers!"

Holly: "Ok, im gonna go and write the speech now. And Geese, i'm sorry if i caused any problems."

OG: "It's ok, i understand your disdain for her...let's just try to control ourselves in the future, ok?"

Holly: (looks cheerful) "You got it!"

*As Holly walks away, you can almost see a look on her face that says: "no, you DONT understand my "disdain" for her, you can't possibly"

--------------------------------------------------------------

(6 hours pass and OrochiGeese is packing up, ready to leave for the night. He sees Mr. Clyde walking through the hall)

OG: "Hey Mr. Clyde?"

Mr. Clyde: "Yes Mr. Geese"

OG: "Have you seen Holly today?"

Mr. Clyde: "Actually, since her meeting with you earlier, she's been in her office all day writing."

OG: "Writing...for 6 hours?"

Mr. Clyde: "Yeah...i don't know what's she's writing, but she certainly has a serious look on her face"

OG: (with a relieved look on his face) "Good, Mr. Clyde, very good, thank you"

Holly's Promo Part 2!

(Orochi-O's Corporate Building, Press Room)

*OrochiGeese and Holly walk to the podium and look at the room of reporters who are busy snapping pictures at them*

Reporter #1: " Where is the OrochiGoose? He's usually at these things!"

OG: "We want to show Jo Ryder that we are indeed serious about Holly's apology so the comical OrochiGoose will not be present at this conference. Ok, Holly, are you ready to give your statement?"

Holly: "Yes I am, Geese, thank you..."

*Holly takes out a few sheets of paper that appear to be her prepared statements, then she takes a deep breath, looks seriously at the camera, and begins speaking*

Holly: "These sincere and heartfelt comments are directed to one Miss Joann Laine Ryder: the CEO of Ryder Management group and Team Ryder, among other intellectual properties. Miss Ryder, I apologize for any misunderstanding, hurt reputation, or discomfort that my previous comments might have caused you. Please understand, i did not mean anything of a scandalous or risque nature to be inferred in what I said. By saying that "you were on your knees in front of a LOT of men," i only meant it in a symbolic, metaphorical way. It was referring to how you started off low or, (Holly very subtly smirks) "on the bottom", of a male-dominated business and wrestling world, but how you then picked yourself up to get to the point you are at now!! (Holly has a cheerful look on her face). In fact... you are kind of an inspiration to me...

*OG has been calm so far but gets a bit of a tense and surprised look on his face*

Holly: "Miss Ryder, you are an inspiration to me for many reasons. For one, in the past, I have never ever seen a woman constantly beat off, err i mean, beat so many men in both businesses.

*Some muffled laughs are heard among the press and OG flinches a bit*

Holly: "It's amazing that you are ALWAYS on top of them no matter what happens and always ready to bounce and pounce into action with them! Jo, in this world, you are always mounted high above them as they spiritedly shout out your name in awe of your considerable and noted abilities as you ride them, um, your business associations to victory!!"

*OG lets out a deep sigh and covers his face with his right hand in embarrassment as the press start giggling more loudly*

Holly: "And another big thing I am sooooo impressed by is the fact that you run all these businesses and do SO much despite your OBVIOUS and probably debilitating increasing age! One would think that a woman of your considerable age would be understandably slowed down but ...

*Sounds of "oooh" are heard by the press as OG now steps in and interrupts Holly*

OG: "Ok, Holly, I think that's enough and that Ms. Ryder will be quite touched by your words"

Holly: (smirking) "Well, after all, Ms. Ryder has touched SO many people in SO many ways, so i just felt i should give something back."

OG: "Well, you certainly gave SOMETHING back, and I hope Ms. Ryder recognizes the (struggles with the word) "gen, genuine" apology that you and Orochi-O's have offered."

Reporter #2: Oh please...you two don't REALLY expect Ms. Ryder to swallow all that do you?

*Holly gets a huge smile on her face*

Holly: "Oh, believe me, I'm SURE that Ms. Ryder has NO problem swallowing anythin...

OG: (quickly interrupts again) "Ok, thank you all for coming...

Holly: "I bet thats what Jo Ryder says too when...

OG: (quickly thinks): "Uhh, there is free food in the catering room, everyone go get it now before it runs out!"

(Despite the reporter's morbid curiosity to see Holly's comments further sink from the already low depths of "double entendre" land to straight out EXPRESS scandalous speech, their interest is more piqued by free food and they run to the catering room! This leaves OG and Holly still standing on the podium.)

*OG shoots a shocked glare at Holly*

*Holly smiles back at OG and shrugs her shoulders in a playful, innocent manner*

Holly: "Soooooo....think she'll like it?" (smiles innocently at Geese)

(Then, before OG has a chance to say anything, Holly turns and exits the room and, as she does so, OG notices Holly has quite a smirk on her face and a spring to her step to go with it)"
