Looking for critiques of Dragan's first promo. As a brand new CAW, I just want to get the right vibe for him.
------------------------------------------------------
We fade into the scene out in front of a small white church. The camera starts on the ground and slowly moves vertically. We get quick snippets of scrolling shots along the side of the church. We get a short shot that scrolls left to right showing a young man dressed in a white collared shirt. A silver cross dangles around his neck. We snap to a full body shot of the young man. His white dress shirt is buttoned all the way to his neck. He wears black dress pants and shoes. Both arms are at his side, his right hand holding a black, leather-covered bible. Underneath a dark mustache, there is a confident smirk. His dark eyes almost seem to sparkle as he stares at the camera. The front of his hair moves as the wind blows across his face.
He begins to speak in Welsh, English sub-titles are on the bottom of the screen, “Fy enw i yw Dragan Hill. Mae rhai ohonoch chi'n fy adnabod fel 'Y Mab Afradlon.' Nid yw rhai ohonoch erioed wedi clywed amdanaf, ond rydych ar fin gwneud hynny.
[My name is Dragan Hill. Some of you know me as 'The Prodigal Son.' Some of you have never heard of me, but you are about to.]
“Cefais fy nwyn i mewn i EPIC i helpu i gryfhau'r rhestr ddyletswyddau sydd eisoes yn dalentog, i ddod â phrofiadau newydd a chyffrous i ffyddloniaid EPIC! Rwyf yma i ddod â'r gelf wych hon o'n un ni yn ôl i'r bobl! Y Mab Afradlon.
[ I was brought in to EPIC to help strengthen the already talented roster, to bring new and exciting experiences to the EPIC faithful! I am here to bring this great art of ours back to the people! The Prodigal Son.]
“Diarhebion 27:17 meddai ‘Haearn hones haearn, ac y mae pawb yn hogi y meddwl Ar haearn yn hogi haearn, ac y mae pawb yn hogi meddwl ei gyfaill, ei gyfaill,’ ac felly rwy'n bwriadu gwneud hynny i EPIC. Rwy'n bwriadu hogi pob un o fy ngwrthwynebwyr, i'w gwneud yn well a gwella'r cynnyrch y mae'r cwmni hwn yn ei roi allan. Pan ddaw'r diwrnod y byddaf yn cael llun teitl, gallwch wybod yn sicr y byddaf wedi ei ennill, na chefais ddim.
[Proverbs 27:17 says ‘Iron sharpens Iron and so one man sharpens another,’ and so I plan to do just that to EPIC. I plan to sharpen each and every one of my opponents, to make them better and improve the product that this company puts out. When the day comes that I get a title shot, you can know for certain that I will have earned it, that I was given nothing.]
“Dyma hi. Noson fy ymddangosiad cyntaf EPIC. Rwyf wedi dod yr holl ffordd o Abertawe. Mab i bregethwr. Enillydd medal aur gyntaf y Gymanwlad i Gymru wrth reslo.”
[This is it. The night of my EPIC debut. I have come all the way from Swansea. The son of a preacher man. The first Commonwealth gold medalist for Wales in wrestling.]
“Dragan Hill.
“Y Mab Afradlon.
[The Prodigal Son.]
“Am byth.”
[Forever.]
He smiles as he turns his back to the camera. He walks up the three whitewashed stone steps, using the black rod iron railing. He opens the door to the church and turns to wink at the camera before heading inside. The sound of a singing congregation fades with the camera.
