The Rebels (Oakland)

[Tritch]

Thanks for giving me some insight into your background. I like that you want to give kids an amateur base, I agree that it's extremely important. My trainer ran me through some of the same basics for a couple of months. But what I was really getting it at, is if you'd be okay with a little rule breaking? You seem like a stand up guy. And while I respect stand up guys, you also need to be comfortable with bending the rules a little bit around here.

[Mike Powers]

Gee Mister, you sure seem nice, so I'll tell you something I never told anyone before!  A couple of years ago, I stopped by Subway for a 6" Veggie Delight on wheat.  Well, wouldn't ya know it, I finished my iced tea before I finished my sandwich, and I was still thirsty so I......so I......

.....I went back up and refilled my cup.....WITHOUT paying for it.......*whew*, it feels so great to get THAT off of my chest!!

[Tritch]

Thank you for sharing that with me my man. We'll be in touch.

Angel, unless he's currently busy or signed, could we get Gordon Elliot in here please?

[Mike Powers]

How they hangin' chief?

[Tritch]

Well.

Pleased to meet you, Gordon. I saw listed on the sheet that you're a cowboy. Mind telling me what exactly that means in this day and age, and how it would be helpful in the sport of professional wrestling?

[Mike Powers]

It means just what you think it means chief.  I had my own ranch for years and years.  Cattle, hogs....you name it, we raised and wrangled 'em.  Got a big time offer from one of the big conglomerates, and I couldn't pass up that type of scratch chief.  So, now I'm going with my passion, the squared circle.  Hire me, and you'll have the toughest bunch of wrestlers to ever lace the boots up, I guarantee you that.

[Tritch]

So you're a corporate cowboy? Not exactly what I was hoping for. I like what you're saying about toughness though, but you can probably understand it being difficult to trust someone with no experience in the ring. What and how exactly would you say you'd be teaching the boys?

[Mike Powers]

Hey now, don't go spreadin' none of that "corporate cowboy" nonsense chief.  Sometimes you just gotta make a decision to look out for your family, and if steppin' away from somethin' you love is it, then you do it.  Nothin' is more important than my family.

Now, for your boys?  Like I said before, toughness.  You can know all the fancy moves in the world, but if you crumble after a hard shot to the face, what good are ya? 

[Tritch]

I apologize for misjudging. I know what you mean about family. I would do anything for mine. And what we're doing here in Oakland is trying to build a new family of our own. I'd like to offer you the job of becoming our Head Trainer, but I'm not yet positive you'd be the perfect fit for us. I'd like to run a one year deal as a trial of sorts, if you'd be okay with that. And I was hoping, considering you just got a ton of "scratch" from one of those conglomerates, I was hoping you wouldn't try to break our bank.

I was thinking $2m for the year, and we'd talk near the end of the year about whether or not it's a good fit. What do you think?

[Mike Powers]

In a normal situation, I'd hold out for closer to $4 million chief.  But this isn't a normal situation, because The Rebels are the last game in town.  I'll shake on $2.5 million for the year. 

[Tritch]

Got yourself a deal Gordon. Welcome to the family.

Thanks for coming in, I don't think you'll fit the mold here.
