"Are you serious?" Those were the words Cliff Anderson, owner of Coastal Zone Championship Wrestling levelled at me. Not moments ago I had offered to buy him out of my own wrestling promotion, one of the smaller in the United States.
"I'm perfectly serious." I said with a friendly smile "CZCW is one of the better up and comers out there, and in the United States are sure to have more potential to spread than in Japan or elesewhere, so it’s a sound investment for me and for you considering the increasing losses you've had in recent times-"
"The economy is to blame-"
"-in part. But your handling of CZCW did not impress your investors who make up the board of your company and the majority of its stock holders, who agreed to sell theirs to me. I am simply making the effort to reach out to you for the betterment of this company."
"I know things haven't been going well. But to just go behind my back and replace me…"
"Mr. Anderson, I understand this is a bit shocking to you, but I have nothing but great plans and funds to spare for CZCW. Plans that I hope you will become a part of."
"I wouldn't expect you to understand, but this promotion is my baby in a way. And I'm no dead-beat dad. I'll stay on. "
I sighed in relief. It would have been hell to handle the roster without him. "Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. We still need to have a talk with the rest of my- your inner circle of advisors."

CZCW's Inner Circle consisted of Cliff Anderson (owner and announcer), Pee-Wee Germaine (sole referee), and Farrah Hesketh (Color Commentator). Not a bad bunch, all in all.
Cliff decided to get things started "All right Nick, its been a week since you've taken over active management. What you got for us to start out with?"
With an audible gulp, I began my presentation "All right, I think the first thing we should do is change to a regular schedule, with 12 monthly PPVs and a weekly show on Thursdays. I've had a few ideas for the name, but I figured we could stick with CZCW: Thursday Night Combat for now."
"All right, that won't please some of the boys, but it would help get the word out. Anything else, boss?"
"I was thinking of setting up a stronger tag team division. With the additional money I'm bringing in, we can afford a few more tag-teams to break up the ones we do have that would do better in singles. Working agreements with everyone, and approaching a few specific people to be hired on."
"Who?" asked Farrah curiously
"Not sure yet, but I'm thinking people with some weight behind their name, since most of the roster isn't known anywhere. Couple of feuds to push them while fighting some names would help them go over."
"Anything else?"
"Yes, I've decided that CZCW is going to go after a different demographic among the fans…"

Nick's Daily Diary:
21CW agreed to the non-aggression pact, as did TCW and USPW. DAVE and SWF refused; the asses. TCW and USPW agreeing should save my bacon for the most part from any talent raids. Still worried about DAVE and SWF, though.
MAW and NYCW accepted working agreement, while AAA refused. Bitches. If I ever start a women's division, I'll be sure to exclusively raid from them.
BHOTWG had their Lords of the Ring PPV yesterday. 15,000 in attendance with a B rating given by the Wrestling Observer. Hopefully CZCW will reach those heights one day…
UCR had Free Fall yesterday. 5,000 in attendance, with a C+ rating from the Wrestling Observer. But considering they're the only competition in Europe, is that really an accomplishment?
MOSC had Bring the Pain yesterday. Over Seventeen hundred in attendance with a C- from the Wrestling Observer. This is the top-dog in Britain? Maybe I should have started over there…
Nariaki Hitomi, Silver Shark, Yo****ora Shigemetsu were released by BHOTWG, while UCR released Miss Information, Alpha Female, Speedy Marie, Jeri Behr, Anna Ki and Cannonball Logan. ROF released Phoebe Plumridge, USPW did the same to Sheik Mustafa, CGC did it to Ted Ross and Ellie May Walton and Phersephone were released from AAA and MAW respectively. Guess it's Spring Cleaning for wrestling promotions worldwide…
