After the dust settles, The biggest Pro-Wrestling War in history has left only one victor..... Now as WCW becomes almost a thing of nostalgia there are new "threats" on the horizon. It seems the youth that grew up on Vince McMahon's "Attitude" could no longer find it in the product he was providing now. Many just simply stopped watching but a there were many who couln't, many who now "needed" wrestling as their fix!
And so the focus now turns to two "Cult" Promotions, Ring Of Honour and Total Nonstop Action. Can any of these two companies who both recently looked to youth in appointing Head Bookers stand a chance against Vince and his Billions let alone battling eachother!
Monday Week 1, September 2005.
Well it happened! I can't believe she would do this but she has. I don't know how I'm going to able to do this but I brought in on all by myself, I feel like Vince Russo with a conscience! :(
It all started five months ago when my uncle arranged a job interview for me at WWE. Uncle Steve has ridiculous contacts and somehow got me a one on one with Johnny Ace, He's the head of Talent Relations there ( although it's title he barley deserves ). Johnny was impressed and hired me on the spot, my role... Media Content Publications Supervisor Assistant. After a life dreaming of "cracking it" into the wrestling business I was finally here and I was a freakin office clerk!
I was constantly pitching ideas to the writers and just as often being told too "mind your own business kid". After two months passed Stephanie McMahon approached me about an idea I had been pitching around to some of the wrestlers. After a lengthy explanation of my idea I was told the idea may be used down the line in some form and I would be given full credit.
Well let's just say my idea was used by th WWE and it was nothing like I had explained it to be. I had a vision of a Muslim fighter who was persucuted by a predjudice society and overcame all the odds and stereo-types to win the Heavyweight Championship of the World. It would show the mainstream public that wrestling is a product that doesn't hold any biases.
Well they stuffed it right up! Stephanie McMahon changing the story so he would instead be an ignorant heel infuriated me enough, The last straw was when they publically blamed me for the whole angle and even went as far as to tell the New York Times that "Chris Carlito was behind the Hassan angle."
My mind was made up, I gave vince my letter of resignation the following day.
It's funny how the wrestling world works though, It's very easy to make a name for yourself and that's just what I did! Only one day had passed before I received a call from the up and coming promotion TNA, who was looking to assemble a new creative team as a result of the loss of Dusty Rhodes. I was still very passionate about the business and wanted to prove myself so off I went to Orlando,Florida.
I breezed through the first two interviews and thought I had the job in the bag when I was told I would be required for a third and "final" interview. Apparently there was another youngster vying for the role.
Who could it be I thought to myself? I saw most of the applicants at the TNA office and was confident my fresh look and perspective would seal it for me. When I arrived ( fourty minutes early ) for the final interview I quickly discovered who my opponent was, a young buck by the name of Gary Catcher. An odd name if you ask me but nevertheless we both exchanged deadly stares accross the room.
Two days later Dixie Carter called to tell me I was awarded the job, This came as no surprise mind you as I had been told the night earlier that Gary Catcher withdrew his application to take on the Head Booker role with Ring Of Honour (A meager little indy fed with no future), good luck to him!
Then the craziness begun! First Dixie blew up at our first creative meeting, verbally abusing everyone in the room but me for what she called "stale and recycled ideas". Then just this morning out of nowhere she dropped the biggest bomb of them all....
She called me into her office to tell me she had just appointed me as Head Booker of TNA!
I haven't even been in the business for 6 months and I'm in charge of the number two promotion in North America.
First order of business is to break all relations with ROH, Those guys suck and abuse our talent and we get nothing in return, Plus I don't want Catcher booking my guys in any horrible spot-fest monkey matches. :mad:
Current Champions
NWA World Heavyweight Champion - Jeff Jarrett
NWA World Tag Champions - The Naturals
TNA X Division Champion - AJ Styles
( This will change very soon! )
