The Rebels (Oakland)

[Mike Powers]

Glad we understand each other.  We'll talk soon Rex.

[Mike Powers]

I've thought long and hard about it, and even though he's not the prototypical "Rebel" that I was looking for, I have decided that to name Rex Evans the President of this club.  Welcome to the family Rex, don't let me down.   

[Tritch]

You made the right decision, Bax. Excited to get started. Speaking of which, any preferences on where we should set up?

[Mike Powers]

Just make sure it's somewhere that a band of Rebels will feel at home.     

[Tritch]

Alright sounds good, Bax. City of Sin it is.

Angel, let's get set up in Vegas.

[Mike Powers]

When I called my guy, he told me there was another club interested in Vegas, so that jacked the prices up.  There's a place on Freemont Street, the old Vegas Strip.  5,500 seats, $4.5 million per season.  There is another in a casino right in the heart of the new Strip.  7,000 seats, $6 million per year.   

[Tritch]

How about Oakland, CA?

[Mike Powers]

Way cheaper, but smaller buildings there.  There's a 2,500 seat facility in an industrial area for $1.5 million.  There's a 4,000 seat facility in an area with a lot of restaurants and bars, and that runs $3 million per year.   

[Tritch]

We can always move to a bigger stadium later. Let's take the restaurant district venue for $3m, just for one year if possible.

After that, I'd like to talk to Brandon Wayne about being our Head Trainer.

[Mike Powers]

I've signed with the Shoot Club.   

[Mike Powers]

The leases run year to year sir.  Please don't forget to submit the paperwork.   

[Tritch]

Damn, I was going to call Dexter Freeman but it seems as if he's been scooped up too. Let's talk to Samuel Flannery if he's available.

[Mike Powers]

Golly, my second interview!  Wait until I tell the guys at the barber shop about this! 

[Tritch]

Barber shop, hmm? Think you could tell me a little bit about your wrestling philosophy?

[Mike Powers]

Well Mister, I was an accomplished amateur style wrestler in my day.  I was an alternate in the Olympics, you betcha, but never got a chance to lace 'em up!  Afterwards I went pro for a while until I ruptured a few discs in my back, and ever since then I've been passing on my knowledge to the youth dontchaknow!  An amateur base to build upon would be my specialty!  You can't do a flippy dippy from the top rope until you know how to take someone to the mat!
