This was it.
After almost wasting four years in college as an English major, I finally landed my first actual job. I'd be writing for New York City Wrestling. I was the guy in charge of the creative stuff. I wrote pretty much all the storylines you've seen in the promotion for the past two years. So when I was asked to become Head Booker, I jumped at the chance. And when Stomper said that he knew my secret, I froze.
Ever since junior year of college, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to get a job when I graduated, so I started working out, preparing to join the military. I ended up landing this gig, so I didn't enlist, but I became enamored with wrestling, so much so that I wanted to do it. So, after Steve Flash mentioned he thought I had a good look, he privately trained me. Now Stomper knew, Steve had actually mentioned it to him, and said that now was as good of a time as ever for me to also get into the ring.
Hey, I'm no going to argue with Derek.
Anyway, since I dealt mainly with Main Eventers and people getting pushes, I now had to take a closer look at the roster. Here's what we have.
Main Eventers
Steve Flash (Face) - Our top baby face, top worker and champion, he's locked in right now to a two year contract, so barring a bigger promotion giving him a written contract, he's the we'll build around.
Black Hat Bailey (Heel) - A good worker, he's good to have around and he can still draw a crowd, however, he's definitely on his way out and we need to bring up another heel to replace him.
Grandmaster Phunk (Heel) - Great on the mic and decent in the ring, he's right now riding a wave of momentum. The fans want to see him.
Upper Midcarders
Whistler (Face) - Another classic wrestler who's looking at retirement, we need to pull up an undercarder to replace him.
Jack Griggs (Face) - That's me. I' going to try to make myself the new Whistler of NYCW.
Honest Frank (Heel) - Getting older, he's great at cutting promos and can make an awesome heel manager when he retires.
Midcarders
Wiley Steinway (Face) - If he weren't part of a tag team, he'd have been fired a long time ago.
American Machine (Face) - A decent old school wrestler who surprisingly hasn't made his way up the card as much as I had hoped. Though, I do see interesting things in his future.
Rick Sanders (Heel) - He's past his prime and on the way out for sure.
Land Mass (Heel) - Here's my first firing.
The Masked Mauler (Heel) - Here may be my second firing.
Lower Midcarders
Coyote Dynamite (Face) - See Wiley Steinway.
Dazzling Dave Diamond (Face) - This man is my diamond in the rough. I have big plans for him. Big plans.
Lee Wright (Heel) - The current Tri-State Regional champion, he's looking to retire soon.
Openers
Roger Dodger (Heel) - An extremely expensive enhancement talent. He may be fired too.
Sammy The Shark (Heel) - I'm a huge Shark Mark and I think that he definitely has potential.
Enhancement Talent
NY Doll (Heel) - A jobber for now. We'll see how he improves.
The main problem I can see right now is that we look like a less popular version of USPW. Too many old guys who are about to retire. We need to slowly phase them out and bring new guys in to take their places. Steve Flash will be the rock I build upon, which is good because he can wrestle a great match against a plank of wood.
