Welcome to the Shoot Club. My name is Scott Davis, I'm the financial backer for this club. I primarily made my fortune in the the underground fight world, first as a fighter, then in promoting the fights. I'm looking for a President that knows how to win, and do it fast. I've been a success at everything I've ever done, and this club will be no different. If you have the skills, and can handle a high pressure situation, then this is the job for you.

My name is Rachel Davis, Scott's sister. I've been appointed the general assistant to this club. If you're interested in the job, please introduce yourself, and give me your resume. I'll put you in touch with Scott.
Hey there. Name's Stoner. I'm pretty amazing at just about everything. The only thing I can think of that I'm not particularly amazing is is making pancakes. Its the one skill that eludes me for some reason. But if my penance for being so damn awesome is an inability to make pancakes then its just the burden I will have to bear.

I'm not sure you're in the right place my man. The culinary school is down the street. Here we talk fights, and we do it like men. Now are you looking to be Rachel Ray, or do you have interests that befit someone with testicles?
Whoa whoa whoa my friend. No need to be getting the rudeness out. We're a couple of gentlemen talking here. That said, if you want a team of people kicking ass and ruining the days of those other, lesser potential presidents I'm your man.
Just uh, don't ask me to make a team breakfast. Chances are I'd be ordering out that day. 'sall I'm saying.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Am....am I being punk'd or something?
Listen Pancake Man, let me set you straight. I spent years in the ring, beating men nearly to death on 4 different continents. After I retired, I promoted fights that broke the bank, and made me rich. Long story short, I've been an unparalleled success in everything I've ever done. The Shoot Club will be no different.
Tell me why you, The Pancake Man, are a fit for me and my club?
Because I've been a fan of this sport since I was a tyke. I know how to promote to the people that will be watching this organization because I'm going to be one of those people that WANTS to watch this organization. If the people are screaming their heads off to see two guys beat the hell out of one another I'll make sure it happens in a way that we all make a ton of cash for it.
I'll let you in on something. I can actually make amazing pancakes. They're fucking delicious. Blue berries and strawberries are my specialty. Bringing them up in the first place was just me trying to start us off with a light mood. When you lighten the mood people think they can get one over on you. When people think they're getting one over on you, you can get what you want out of them. I can get what I want out of people. And in this case what I want is to make money.
So I'll put it like this. You wanna make money? I'm your guy. You want people telling you "Oh I can make this show a spectacle and yada yada blah blah" whatever. Go with one of them. I'm not here to make a spectacle I'm here to get paid.
Hello Miss Davis
My name Donnovan Midas and I am sending you this e-mail in reference to the job opening for Shoot Club. I have sent over my resume via the fax number I have and was hoping to lock down a date and time to come on in and speak Scott about filling the position of club president.
Thank you very much
Donovan Midas
P.S If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me via the contact info I disclosed in my resume.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
It seems that there is a little bit more to the Pancake Man than I first anticipated. Let me let you in on a little secret about me. 'Light moods'? Not really my thing, unless your a tall blonde with legs that won't quit. So you can stop with the goofy pleasantries, and keep talking to me like a businessman, in a business meeting.
You think you'll be good at promoting this Club? That's wonderful. The more people we have watching us, the more cash we get. But promoting the fights is just a part of the job. We need to build a WINNING club here. Today. Not a year from now, not six weeks from now....TO-DAY. Tell me Pancake Man, how will you build me a winner?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Mr. Midas, it is wonderful to hear from you. No need for appointments here, feel free to drop by at your earliest convenience and speak with Scott. He is holding open interviews all week.
Mr. Davis... (Pause)
You know what Scott... When I spoke to your sister about coming in and she said you were holding open interviews without appointments I got right on my computer and Googled you because I found it odd that someone owning a club would do that. I did tons of research and even filled out these little cue cards with points I wanted to make while talking to you and things I wanted to be sure to say...
I walked in here and shook your hand and the truth is that none of it makes sense now that I met you... My mind just could not get over the fact that you don't schedule appointments and I realize now that there is a reason for that... You have no time for bullshit!
Time is money and I can sit here and dazzle you with bullshit, projections and plans but anyone can do that... Then I thought "Stick out from the rest of the people Midas" and with that I was thinking about challenging you to a fight in the parking lot for the job but came to my senses when I realized that you would probably destroy me...
So lets make this short and sweet... You want to win? You want to win fast? Give me the job and the resources and I give you the championship!
If you are looking for a yes man to do your bidding and not give you an opinion then hire someone else because if you hire me odds are we are going to be at each others throat often and will butt heads many times over but in the end we will win and that is all that really matters!
Build you a good club? That's easy. You said it yourself, you have history in this business. People will WANT to fight under your banner, because they know you've got the brand that puts their names out there. Lets say you're hungry and want something to eat. Do you choose to go to IHOP, or put your trust in Flapjacks a' Plenty? You head to the place you KNOW is going to give you what you want.
These guys are going to want to fight for you because they know you wont settle for anything less than the best. And I'll get the best. Because anything else, quite frankly, isn't worth it.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Mr. Midas, I have to say that you seem to understand where I am coming from. Bullshit doesn't fly too well with me, that much is a fact. I must say.....if you had had the stones to come in here and challenge me to a fight then I may have said 'screw the rules' and hired you on the spot, because you'd remind me of me. But, the fact that the thought even crossed your mind is a big indicator to me of your character.
You said, short and sweet, if I want to win I need to hire you. Well, I don't just WANT to win. I NEED to win. I WILL win. Winning is all that I do. Tell me what you would do to build The Shoot Club into TCW's first ever Champion.
*****
Despite your odd fixation on breakfast food, you've made a good point Pancake Man. Greatness does attract greatness, so I'm sure that there will be no shortage of talent that wants to make the Shoot Club their home. What I want to know is, what sort of talent are you looking to cultivate? Are you looking for a bunch of brawlers to beat their way into victory? Or someone with slick technical skills, to wrap the competition in knots? Or something different entirely? What's your vision, should you be hired?
Technique is a good factor to consider. You want someone who knows what they are doing in there. But before than that I'm gonna be trying to get a guy who can get in there and just brutalize the opposition. I want our first pick to be a guy that just inspires fear directly into the hearts of everyone who knows they have to fight him. A guy that creates that sinking feeling in the pit of your gut, who makes you contemplate skipping that Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity because that's the kind of breakfast that only tastes good going down.
As far as the rest of the club, I'm going to have to look at whats available at that point. Priority number one is going to be the ability to fight. Then I suppose technique. We'll get into specifics and whatnot when I know what I have to work with in front of me.
In any case, you're not going to have anyone come in here that knows what they're doing better than I do. I worked with one of the greats in Jack Hondo, who ran Rough Kut Wrestling during its best years and learned from him what it takes to do this and do this right.
So if you're going to hire me, hire me. Don't wait for these other shmoes that are trying to get a job with anyone offering them a buck. Ask around, I'm not trying to get hired with anyone else. And if you send me out that door then that will be my bit here in Team Combat Wrestling, at least until a new organization springs up in the future that looks worthy of my time. But you hire me and you got a guy committed to this club before it was even put together on paper.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Alright Pancakes, last question. Where would you want to build our Club? Bright lights and big city, a quiet area out in the sticks, or someplace in between?
With the kinds of guys we're looking to bring in, we're going to want to go big. There's no room for pansy crepe eaters in my mind. We're talking Paul Bunyan types, who require their pancakes to be cooked in skillets the size of Texas itself.
So the way I see it we put this team right in the middle of Houston. Don't no one like to fight like a Texan. We'd be about a four hour drive away from all the major cities in Texas too. And when the guys need to relax because shit's too real they're about an hour away from some fairly nice beaches. Can go check out the ladies, or even hop on a boat and go catch a shark or two. Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like hauling one of those engines of destruction onto the deck of a boat.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Well Pancakes, that's all for Question and Answer time. It's been real.....interesting meeting with you. If there's anything else you want to say before you leave, now's the time to do it. I've got other candidates to speak with. If you want to talk to other clubs, that's cool. Just steer clear of the Devils. They're nuts over there.
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/nov71w.jpg)
Mr. Davis, it's nice to make your acquaintance. My name's Chris Strike. You strike me - pun not intended - as the kind of guy who doesn't take any bullshit, so I'll spin it to you quick. I've been a pro wrestler for fourteen years and have more than 20 titles to my name and a pretty damn good track record in the process. I'm Brazilian born, American raised and I sure as hell know the hard work that it takes to make it to the top of an industry, what it takes to stay there, what it takes to promote oneself as a must-see attraction and really, I do believe that I can succeed with the high expectations and standards that you hold yourself and your team to, Mr. Davis.
...I believe the floor is yours for any questions you may have for me.
Well Scott first thing I am going to do is get on the horn and get a top notch staff together to make sure we go into this draft 100% ready to get what we need to make a huge splash from the get go. There is a couple trainers and Docs I am keeping a eye on and they will basically help my compile the list of people we need to focus on during the draft...
At that point we go out there and talk to these guys! You and I are on the same page right now and time wasters are just going to piss us off and leave us frustrated and we don't need guys like that on our squad taking up space for true winners!
We prepare... We prepare... We prepare... Then when we think we are all done preparing well then we get off our ass and prepare some more because when the season starts I want these other teams knowing that they fucked up royally by thinking they can actually compete in OUR league!
No problem. Let me know when you're ready to hire me. In the mean time I'm going to go get some of that Stuffed French Toast from IHOP.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Mr. Strike, it is nice to meet you. You have an impressive resume, that much is for sure. Tell me, over all those years, and all those Championship wins, how many men did you injure to get to the top? How many men never laced the boots up again after stepping into the ring with you?
*****
Midas, you're obviously well prepared for this interview. You have a clear direction, and a plan to get there. I like that. My last question is, where would you want to place our camp, should you be hired?
*****
I'd expect nothing less Pancakes. I'll be in touch.
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/nov71w.jpg)
More than what I can count on my fingers, Mr. Davis. I'm not particularly the type of person who will deliberately hurt somebody for shits and giggles, but when it's come to somebody standing between me and the top of the mountain, I have had no problems whatsoever with adding a little extra malice to every move I execute inside and out of the squared circle. But there was a time where a certain man pushed the wrong buttons, sent me in a rage that he shouldn't have...and so, I broke his neck. He's never been inside of a squared circle since. I've bloodied men, broken bones, buried people alive...hell, I took a railroad spike to the face a man that I hate with every fiber of my being multiple times to pay off a debt from when he tore my ACL the year before it.
My point is...I've seen my fair share of wars and I have no problem with taking down anybody put in between us and the mountain we want to climb here in TCW.
You know what Scott growing up in Chicago I remember playing in little league baseball and I remember at the start of every year there would be a draft... Not a draft for players mind you since it was by district but it was a draft for which district would be the Yankees. See we took current MLB team names and uniforms and used them and every district wanted to be the Yankees... We lived in Chicago and still kids wanted to be a Yankee! You know in all the years I played baseball I never once played against the the Royals... You know why? Because no one gave two shits about the Royals! Everyone wanted to be a winner and winners came from New York...
We set up our camp in New York! It will cost more and my friends back home in Chicago might never forgive me but screw them!
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Mr. Strike the one thing that stands out about your story is the part about how you 'went into a rage'. Would you say that you lost control in that situation? Your tenacity and aggressiveness are assets, but only to the point where they blind you. When I was fighting in the underground clubs, I can safely say that I was in control of my emotions the entire time. How else could I ensure that I'd be the man walking out?
If you were to be named President of the Shoot Club, what would be your plan of attack? Are you okay working in a high pressure enviornment? As is well known about me....I'm a winner. I expect immediate results, regardless of who I hire. Is that something you can live with?
*****
Alright Midas, that is all the questions that I have. I will tell you that I was impressed with your interview thusfar, and you've made the short list for sure. If you have anything else to say before you leave, now is the time. Otherwise, I'll be in touch when a decision is made. Just do me one favor? If you're interviewing anywhere else, stay away from the Devils. They're absolutely batty over there.
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/nov71w.jpg)
No loss of control. Over the years, one of the greater lessons I've learned has been to channel that particular emotion in the right direction, to do so with full control over one's senses. The man in question had been somebody who disrespected my country and my family for months along with tearing my ACL, so it was a matter of showing him that rage but still being in full control of what I was doing to make sure he would never cross that line again. Like you said, Mr. Davis...you can't ensure yourself as the sole survivor in any situation unless you have your wits about you.
I am more comfortable in high pressure situations on the basis that it forces you to adapt, to out think any opponent put in front of you and to achieve success under said high pressure is one of the greater rewards you can achieve. It's something I'm more than willing to take on should you hire me. As for a plan of attack, my idea would be to study up on who is out there and who would be the best fits to come into this club and make an impact right off the bat. To bring in people who can put in the work that's required of them to excel at their craft, to bring in different styles of wrestling to attack certain points - while I may be personally a wrestler that specialized in a hybrid of technical wrestling and the strong style they use in Japan, I have no problems with bringing in a powerhouse if he can keep his stamina and wits about him or a high-flier who's able to get the job done without letting their emotions or ego get in the way of what we're striving to achieve.
Given I walked in just as you were finishing up with the last guy, I did catch a certain bit about a location for the Shoot Club camp...and personally? I'd bring it right over to Denver. Not a big city like New York or Los Angeles but it's still got quite a lot of things around it, which would allow our guys to focus on their training first and foremost and still not feel like they're in the middle of nowhere. Most importantly, compared to other training locations, we would be training a mile above sea level. The air in the Mile High City is thinner and if this team can train their asses off here and become stronger, faster and excel at what they do...they can run circles around their competition without so much as breaking a sweat. We can even push it further during training camp by using a part of it to go out west to the mountains at higher elevations to train even further if needed be.
Whatever we can do to get this club ready to get the job done and get you the results you seek.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
You've given me a great deal to think about. I will admit to being impressed with your idea for utilizing the altitude in Denver as a tactic in training. It shows focus, and attention to detail. You're on the short list Mr. Strike, that's for sure. If you have anything else to say, the floor is again yours. Otherwise, we'll be in touch. And as I tell all the applicants, I don't mind if you look elsewhere, just stay away from the Devils. That Reeves guy is no good.
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/nov71w.jpg)
I appreciate the friendly advice on the Devils altogether, Mr. Davis. If I'm the one you choose to go with, you'll know where to reach to me. Thanks for your time.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I'll talk to you soon.
No nothing else... Thanks for your time and thanks for the advice on the Devils.
If you don't mind, Mr. Davis, I'd like to throw my hat into the proverbial ring here at the Shoot Club...
My name is Gravedigger. Well, that's my name from my wrestling days. If you prefer to use my birth name it's John.
I think I'm made for your team. Like you I was an underground fighter. I didn't make a fortune at it like you, though. My fights were more the brutal fashion where the paydays are small. You win so you can pay for a cheap motel room and a meal. But I attained more financial success as a pro wrestler for CRW. It's why I fit your program. I have the hunger you do from the fight days, yet I also bring a background in the wrestling business.
Even though my name and appearance are that of a showman, I'm more grounded than that... Hungry and motivated to build a winning club above all else.
I look forward to speaking to you about this job opportunity and the future direction of the club...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
We'll be in touch Mr Midas.
*****
Ahh, a fellow compatriot of the undeground fight game. It is most definitely a pleasure to meet you Digger. Cheap payouts for a room and a hot meal. I remember those days distinctly. Tell me about your biggest victory, and your bitterest of defeats. I'd love to hear all about it.
They actually came against the same person. His name is Griffin. I only know him by the one name. Like me he is a big SOB that dominated his foes. We both spent years hearing about each other's exploits before a fight was finally set up between the two of us.
The first fight was a close one. Back and forth, both of us landing huge shots. Late in the fight he caught he in the left eye, splitting my eyebrow open. Blood rushed into my eye, and that was enough for Griffin to get the advantage and get the win.
The rematch wasn't for nearly a year. Griffin felt he didn't have anything to prove to me and refused the second fight for months. The only reason I got him back in there with me was by offering him a guaranteed 50% of the take instead of the usual winner take all.
That second fight was another good one. Griffin came at me hard once again, but I was the hungrier fighter in that day. He caught me hard a few times, but I was too much for him. I got him with a clean shot to the to ribs, and when he doubled over he left his head exposed. That was all I needed and knocked his ass out...
The take, even at 50/50, was so big that night that I left the scene. I wasn't much for the limelight so I got a job with a friend I met when I had a fight in Chicago. He gave me a job digging graves. When he helped me get my first wrestling job I took my ring name from that job, to make sure I remembered where I came from. It took time, but I eventually warmed up to the fame associated with the wrestling business, but even in my success in wrestling I made myself stay humble. Keeping perspective in life is a key to true success in my humble opinion...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
You can tell the measure of a man from how he responds to failure, just as much as he responds to success. You lost a battle, while Griffin lost a war. Digger, the way I view TCW and my club is this: the week to week matchups are the battles, and the TCW Championship is the war. I understand that we may not go 13-0 this season....but I fully EXPECT to be the last team standing when the smoke clears, and the war is over. Nothing less is acceptable in my eyes.....nothing. Do you think you can you handle that sort of pressure?
Yes, because my philosophy is the same. Making money is great, but I'm here to win. I could get rich all sorts of places, but TCW is where I'll get the competition I crave, the kind that will drive me to be the best version of myself, one that doesn't just sit back and collect checks. I want that fire from the old days back, and TCW is the match to light it....

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Gentlemen, this has been an incredibly tough decision. So many qualified applicants, but at the end of the day, only one can get the job. I can't believe I'm going to say this but.....congratulations Pancakes AKA Stoner.
Whooo boy. I'm breaking out the strawberry syrup tonight.
So lets get to work. As I said before, I'm thinking of setting up shop in Houston.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Scott told me to call you "Pancakes"....?
Anyway, I've looked into the Houston area. It is a large market city, so it offers a larger facility, but at a higher price. There is a 8,000 seat facility located near Reliant stadium at a cost of $4.5 million per year. There is a 10,000 seat facility located near the heart of downtown Houston, and that has as price of $6.5 million per season.
This comes out of the "incentives" budget.
Lets take the 8,000 seater for 4.5 million a year. Gives us some room to play with as far as hiring people to work for us. Not to mention with that little room we can charge more for concessions such as the Pancake-Sausage on a Stick.
But we're going to need to hire someone to help these guys learn to fight, right? Lets get this guy Spike in here.

Yo! Nice office, smells like maple syrup though.
EATING A PLATE OF WAFFLES, ANOTHER PLATE IN ACROSS FROM MY DESK. STEAM RISING FROM THE FRESHLY COOKED CONFECTION
Hey there how's it going? My name's Stoner and you like the kind of guy I'd like to have training my team. What are you looking for as far as prospects for a team? And what is your position on a delicious plate of waffles?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Animal.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Give me a team, and I'll whip them into shape, no matter who they are. And pancakes are chick food....nothing but carbs. Fair warning, I'm closing in on a deal with The Militia.
Stoner stares wide eyed.
You... Dislike pancakes....
Ms. Davis, could you escort Spike out of the office and get a hold of Brandon Wayne for me?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Hey there, what can I do for you?
Mr. Wayne I'm looking for a head trainer here in The Shoot Club. I'm looking for someone with a history of being able to mess someone up good while being able to score the win. And just as important as that I'm looking for a trainer with a healthy appetite who isn't afraid to have a good old fashions Texas-Sized French Toast eating contest with me and the fighters.
If you were our trainer, what would your approach to training our team be? What would you be looking for in an assistant trainer? When you order the Grand Slam at Denny's, do you go for the regular or do you order extra pancakes?

I'm Texas born and bred, so I'm not afraid of a few pancakes. The more the merrier my friend. In regards to training, I'd look to train the boys from the ground up. I'd like to see them be good in every part of the ring, from technical abilities, to aerial attacks, to using the 'ole ham hocks. For an assistant, I'd like someone with experience. I'm gonna have my hands full getting these kids up to speed, I don't need to be watching out for them at the same time.
That's what I'm talking about. Lets discuss money then. I like the cut of your jib, and would like to offer 3.5 million for a three year contract. That's a whole lot of syrup.

Sign me up!
That's what I'm talking about. I'll confirm it here shortly. Its a pleasure to be sharing pancakes with you Mr. Wayne.

Ms Davis, could you get a hold of Chuck Karlin? I'd like to offer him a job as Assistant Trainer.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/G%20-%20H/Horace_Hogan.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Hey, you're secretary says you wanna offer me a job? I know I interview well, but damn!
I don't have time to be messing around. My flapjacks'll get cold and nobody likes that. Except for that pancaking hating Spike that was here earlier.
Anyway. I wanna offer you 2.5 million for 3 years to be the Assistant Trainer here for the Shoot Club. Sound like a plan?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/G%20-%20H/Horace_Hogan.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Sooo, you don't want to know anything about me, but you wanna pay me $2.5 million a year, for 3 years to train your guys?
CHUCK SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS
Sure, count me in boss.
Alrighty. I've confirm the deal later on. Glad to have you on board in any case.
-----
Ms. Davis, I'd like to bring in Alan Quinlan from the Doctor's list. I'd also like to schedule a Staff Brunch sometime soon if possible so we can all get to know one another a bit better.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Sorry Pancakes, Dr. Quinlan signed with The Militia.
Damn them. Ok. I believe Eugene Forrest is available? If so could you get a hold of him? In the mean time I'm going to set this electric stove up over here and get some 'cakes cooking.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
He's signed with the Devils. If only there were some sort of place to view the signed contracts while you enjoy your pancakes.....
I was looking at the confirmed deals and didn't see his name. Must have missed it while I was adding more syrup to my plate.
It appears that Mike Ross is still available. Lets get a hold of him if at all possible?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Brutus_Beefcake.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
MIKE WALKS IN AND STARES AT YOU.
Dude....there's syrup everywhere.....
Sorry about that, I burned my finger on the electric stove over there. Hurt like the dickins. In any case, we have an opening for team Doctor and I was thinking about offering you the spot. You have a good bit of experience so I was thinking 1.5 million for 3 years?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Brutus_Beefcake.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Sure, why the hell not.
That sounds sweet as the blueberry pancakes I'm gonna have for dinner tonight. I'm confirm the deal in a few moments and we're glad to have you on the team.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Brutus_Beefcake.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Sounds good dude.
Ok, I'd like to bring in Joel Rocker's agent. According to the stat sheet its JZ, who I believe is Jerzey but I've been wrong before. And if its not overstepping my bounds, could you order me a new electric stove for my office? The one I have in here only lets me cook a single pancake at a time, which isn't going to be a nice way to greet my guests. Please and thank you?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)

(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Wats good playa'? Hit me wit a deal yo, and don't insult us!
Well, I know I want to make Joel a member of the team here for the long run. I've heard he's at the top of his game and that is something I could get behind. But I'd also like to make sure I could build around him on the team, to put him with a group of guys that would really be able to do some good work.
So as I sat here eating my daily Belgian Waffle with CoolWhip and strawberries, a very underrated meal I should add, an idea came to me. And I think its one you'll like.
So I want to propose this to you. I'd be willing to pay him a flat 9 million, OR, 8 million with 2 million from the PR budget. Either way I'd like him here for 4 years.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ruckus.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Lookie here playa, remember where I said don't insult us my man? The 3rd pick signed for $8.5 mil and $1.5 mil PR. Joel is the Number One overall pick dawg, and he needs ta get paid like it. We want 4 years, $10 mil, and $2.5 mil in PR.
So I'm being punished because other people don't know the correct way to spend money? I guess. I'll confirm it as soon as I finish this breakfast.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ruckus.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Nah dawg, you is bein' "punished" 'cause instead of calling me right up afta you drafted my man so that YOU could be the one to set the market, you sat up here strokin' ya self wit maple syrup, ya feel me playa'? You is late to the party, you gots to pay the penalty.
Right. Well, I just hope he's worth the money in any case. I'm sure he will be though.
While you're here, your client Sam Barton? 6 Million for 3 years? This seems comparable to the going rates of people being drafted in the second round so far.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ruckus.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Yeah dawg, we'll sign fo dat.
Thank you, I appreciate you working with me. There are a few other people you represent I have my eye on currently, so I'll likely be in touch with you in the future. If you have a particular flavor of syrup or breakfast pastry you enjoy, leave a note for me and I'll make sure we have some in stock next time you're here.
---
Ms Davis, could you get Emilio Ruiz here for me? I'd like to discuss signing Jamie Hampton to a deal.
---
Mr. Ruiz, I know Ms. Hampton was technically signed in the 3rd round, but as I drafted them at the same time I'd like to offer her the same deal I offered my second round pick. 3 years, 6 million. Is that acceptable?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ricardo_Rodriguez.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Allow me to say.....THAT THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE OFFER!!!! My client gladly accepts. WOO HOO!!!
Good deal. We've got it all taken care of. I'm sure we'll speak again in the future.
---
Ms Davis, I need you to get a hold of Melissa Soliz on behalf of Rick Turner for me. In the mean time are you hungry or anything? There is plenty of batter here if you feel like you need a snack or something. And if we don't have your brand of syrup on hand I'm sure we can order it. I just don't want you feeling like you're little more than a phone call machine.
---
Ms Soliz. I'd like to offer Mr Turner 5 million for 3 years. Is this acceptable?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sunny.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
You pronounce my name weird. Don't do that again honey. As for Rick, we'll take that deal any day of the week.
Wow. My mistake, I guess having lived in this portion of Texas for as long as I have my brain auto-corrected the "s" in your name to a "z". And we all know that auto-correct is right about as often as a Denny's server thinking that "chocolate chip pancakes" means regular pancakes with a side of chocolate chips. Losers.
Anyway I'm glad we came to that agreement easily. I'll be seeing you around.
-----
Ms Davis, I'd like you to bring in Benjamin Lancaster. He represents Bradley.
-----
Mr. Lancaster, I'd like to offer Bradley the same deal I've given the man who would be his tag partner, Rick Turner. 3 years, 5 million dollars.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/O%20-%20P/Paul_Heyman.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Done.
Thank you Mr Lancaster. I always enjoy when these meetings go smooth as maple syrup.
-----
Ms Davis, I need you to get Ms Solis in here again.
-----
Ms Solis. I drafted Rob Washington in the 6th round. I'd like to give him 4 million for 3 years. Is this acceptable?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sunny.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Sure honey, that'll do.
Great. Sorry again for the name mistake last time you were here. I'll be in contact if we need anything, you be sure to do the same.
-----
Ms Davis, I need Jerry Hunt in here for Randy Pike.
-----
Mr Hunt, I'm going to do the same thing I've been doing with all my double picks and offer Randy the same deal as the person I drafted immediately before him. 4 Million for 3 Years.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/O%20-%20P/Percy_Pringle.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
It's a deal.
Fan-freaking-tastic. This has been a great experience. I'll be in touch if there is anything further.
-----
Ms Davis, I have a delivery coming in from China today. They're a set of books that teach how to make interesting art with pancakes when you're cooking them. Is there anything in particular you'd like me to try out once I get some practice? I think the first thing I'm going to attempt is going to be Sonic the Hedgehog. He has exaggerated shapes that shouldn't be too difficult to pull off.
Oh, and I need you to get Mr. Ruiz in here again so I can discuss Keyarra's contract.
-----
Mr Ruiz, I'd like to offer her 3 million for 3 years. Sound good?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ricardo_Rodriguez.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
2 years.....AND IT'S A DEAL!!!
Well I mean I was hoping to do almost everyone at 3 years, but if she's worth the money then I wont mind dipping the french toast into the syrup to re-sign her at the end of the contract.
-----
Mr Davis, That would be the whole team signed and ready. What is the next part of the process?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Well Pancakes, when you're finished with all of your offseason activities, then you need to prepare your lock in sheet for your Training Staff. You'll set your probable lineup, name a club 'Captain', select 3 wrestlers to send to specialized training (be sure to specify the training!), and lay out (in detail) the PR campaigns that you intend to use. Once you 'lock in', that's it. There's no going back, so make sure you do everything you're supposed to do.
Once training camp has concluded, you'll be provided with a sheet by your staff, detailing the results.
Before doing my finalization, I'd like to bring Joel Rocker into the office.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
#1 Overall Pick....I love how that sounds. We ready to rip some throats out, or what?!?
You're damn right we are. Now, I was looking over all the paperwork here and realized that despite picking you first overall, I hadn't met with you. And that's a shame. The hustle and bustle of the office just had me all turned around. I almost ordered biscuits instead of waffles for breakfast one morning, can you believe that mess?
So now that I've got you here, what kind of image are you looking to project to the world? You have the appearance of a real ass kicker, and I absolutely know that's something I can work with. Is there any particular message you'd like me to make sure gets sent out to the people you're going to be running roughshod through this season?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Just make sure that they know that when I'm done with them it's gonna take a doctor several hours just to pry their heads out of their asses!!
You are exactly what I dreamed of when thinking about what I wanted to make this team successful. Thank you for meeting me Joel.

Ms Davis, can we bring in Rick Turner and Bradley please.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Bradley here.
You two are going to be teaming together for Shoot Club. I heard good things about both of you, and I think you can create an interesting dynamic. Rick I think you have a lot to offer this organization at present time, and Bradley I've been told you've got a world of potential both right now and for a good long time to come.
That said, what is it you want to show the world as a team? What are your respective styles in the ring? What do you like to do in your off time? What is your favorite breakfast meal? You two are going to be doing battle alongside one another and its important you know as much about one another as you're comfortable sharing.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bully_Ray.jpg)

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Sir, I have Jerzey on the line for you. It sounds important.
Nice. I like the way both of those sound. I think you'll have two complementing styles that will mesh rather well together. Take some time to get used to Houston. There is quite a bit to keep yourself entertained around here. I've lived in the area most of my life, if you need to know anything just ask. In the meantime I'm gonna have to ask you to leave though, its important I take this call. Thanks for meeting me gentlemen.
-----
Jerzey! I'm assuming this has to do with GM Justin having raised Rafa's contract to a ridiculous amount, yes? I'd like to offer Joel a new deal of 15 Million and 7.5 Million PR.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ruckus.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Damn playa', you sho is makin' good fo' last time, ain'tcha? That's a deal dawg.
Now, we needs ta talk about my boy Barton. What's the deal fo' him?
Yeah, I still feel like a dick for the crap deal I was offering to begin with. Especially after having met the man now. He's definitely worth every cent you asked for when we first met.
The best I would be comfortable doing is putting Sam at what Joel is at currently before his raise, 10 million and 2.5 PR. That puts me at just below my maximum cap space while being a deal you found comfortable for our first rounder before GM Justin had to go and screw with the economy.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/Q%20-%20R/Ruckus.jpg)

Hook a brotha' up wit some punkin pancakes?
You know it. We've got the finest maple syrup you can buy from Canada, as well as just about any other topping you can dream of. Its a pleasure working with you Jerzey.

Ok, before moving on I'd like to speak with Sam Barton. Having just given him a significant raise he didn't even know was coming, I feel like I should meet the man.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/I%20-%20J/John_Morrison.jpg)

Wassup my brotha'!?! I'm makin' BANK right now son, so you know what that means.....WE'RE HITTIN' THE TITTY BAR!!! C'mon bro, it's on me!
You say "The" as if there's the only one. This is Houston bro, they're more plentiful than waffle batter around here. Hell there are four within walking distance of this building alone. You're going to have to get a bit more specific.
Before we discuss recreational activities though, what would you say is your greatest strength in the ring? What do you bring to the table that would be difficult for others to overcome? And what image would you like me to put out to the world on your behalf?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/I%20-%20J/John_Morrison.jpg)

Tag Team #2: Bradley
Woman: Jaime Hampton
Curtain Jerker: Rob Washington
Bench: Randy Pike
Sparring Squad: Keyarra
- Training -
Bradley - Counters
Jaime Hampton - Technical Skills
Rob Washington - High Risk
PR -
Joel Rocker - Series of video packages and commercials. The first would be a throwback to Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock" in that a kid is being berated by his father who asks him in the end what he wants to do with his life to get the response "I wanna ROCK!" and Joel kicks in the door, knocks the dad out and makes out with the mom who is entering the room with a plate of pancakes smothered in syrup. The second will be Joel going out and meeting with other famous Houston sports stars. Football players and the like. Have some arm wrestling matches or something. Last will be Joel working out at various gyms in the Houston area and showing off his strength in general.
Sam Barton - Have Sam go to a few Movie Premieres. Get him to mingle with people. Just don't let him drink too much.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
The team is back from training camp. Here's a few notes for you:
~ Sam Barton was late to camp on several occasions. His excuse was "bitches man".
~ Bradley and Turner are trying hard, but they appeared to struggle during most of camp.
~ Joel Rocker was all business, and was clearly the dominant member of the club.
~ Rob Washington showed growth.
The trainers are putting together the team sheet for you. Once I get it to you, you'll be expected to put out a press release before speaking to your Head Trainer.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
If you keep blowing off the media, it'll be even shorter than that. But you're not giving up on me, are you?
Nah. Just got some disappointing news about a number of the guys we've got. I know Scott has high expectations of the crew and I've been places where people get fired the first moment they don't live up to expectations.
Anyway. What do you think we should do going forward?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Well, first things first. We gotta do something out Turner. At the bare minimum, he needs to be delegated to the sparring slot, though I'd rather see him gone entirely. I'm not sure if that's feasible on your end or not though.
Bradley, though clearly better than Turner, struggled too. If we got him a better tag partner, we bay be able to hide his weaknesses a bit.
Are there rules against putting women in there? I'm willing to give Keyarra the spot at this point.
Realistically, we need to put Turner on sparring. Maybe put Washington on the team with Bradley. Make Randy Pike the new opener, put Keyarra on the bench and that should work out? With any luck my cakes wont be burnt just yet.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
At this time, ladies are only able to wrestle other ladies. That may change in the future I hear, but not right now.
If you are going to keep Turner on the team, the plan you outlined seems like the best course of action.
If I had the leeway to get rid of him, I probably would. But for now I'm going to have to work with what I've got.
Lets lock in I suppose.

The Shoot Club are looking for a new President. All applicants welcome.
Mr. Davis ... My name is Black Death and I would like to apply for the job. My knowledge of wrestling goes back 30 years, I had experience in the wrestling world from in the ring action to backstage. I know I can take over the job and preform and get this team to preform at the level that you expect. I will do what I can to make this team a winner. I hope you consider me for this job .
*A brief knock on the door and Adam Wrong steps into the office.*
Mr Davis, I appreciate you are seeing another candidate right now, but I can't let an opportunity like this run away from me so I hope you don't mind 2 at a time.
*Adam Wrong turns to Black Death and nods respectfully.*
I am Adam Wrong and feel that I am the best candidate you will see for this vacancy. Much like you Mr Davis, I have made a career out of fighting and have done my whole life to get where I wanted to be. The Shoot Club is one place that my fighting spirit can truly allow the talent already assembled to flourish. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
Mr. Davis, my name is Buckson Gooch. Excellent farmer. Mediocre wrestler. Great manager of talent and diligent president material. If I get the job you will not have to worry about neglect. When I am committed, I am committed.I am interested in this position. What would you like to know about me?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sting03.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
A room full of applicants. I like it. I hope none of you have a strange fondness for breakfast food, but I digress....
Mr. Death, what would you bring to this team to make us a winner, as you said you could?
Mr. Wrong, tell me about your management style. Heavy handed? Firm? Live and let live?
Mr. Gooch, tell me more about your qualifications to lead a team? Do you have previous experience in a leadership position?
Lastly, sell yourselves to me. Tell me why your perfect to lead this team. The floor is yours, I'll be making a decision after you've all said your piece.
No Mr. Davis , no strange love for a certain breakfast food... what I can bring like I said before is 30 years of experience in and out of the wrestling ring. I been a wrestler before , I been in that ring , I know feeling of testing you skills against another person. I know how they think and can relate to the wrestlers on the team like no one else can. I know I can get the best out of everyone of them , help them perform better when they step in that ring , not just physically , but mentally too.
I would take on a hands on approach , go over each wrestlers game plan before each match , make sure they know the best way to attack there opponents , what are there opponents strengths and weakness. No wrestler on this team will be under-prepared for there match. Knowledge is power and this team will be the most powerful team in the league. Because they will be the best prepare team in the league.
Mr Davis, Pancakes arent my bag. I can cook a mean bowl of cereal though...
I believe in a tough love environment. Some people view it as harsh but it develops a team into a cohesive unit. It unites the team to high standards that nobody else could dare to dream of. If you give everything you've got to the team - victorious or not - then we will be fine. But hold out on me, the team or yourself and there will be consequences. Much like a pack of animals in the wild. If you are not strong enough, you will be left behind. It's how I was raised and it's how I intend to develop this fine team.
I am the natural choice for this team Mr Davis. Hardworking, financially savvy, a known commodity to the wrestling world and reliable to the nth degree.
Everything in life for I have fought for and earned - just like you Mever Davis - I know what you have put into this team already and know damn well that you won't simply accept the ordinary. I know damn well that you want somebody who will fight for success as hard as you have through your life. I have led a path not too dissimilar to your own Mr Davis and I know of the importance of fighting - physically and mentally - to achieve everything that you desire.
But... if you are looking for an average first season for the Shoot Club Mr Davis I suggest appointing Messrs Death or Gooch. But if you want Houston to be the home of the most dominant, heavy hitting, collective of champions this company has or ever will see, then Adam Wrong is the man for you.

Mr. Gooch, the floor is yours....
I have always been a leader. I was the captain of our football team that won 2 state championships. I have run a farm now for 20 years since the passing of my father. I have GM'd in a few different sports. With the latter, I have always pushed synergy, get people to work together and great things can happen. That is what I plan on doing here, trying to put people in positions to succeed and getting the best out of my athletes.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Thank you all for your interest. At this time, I'm going to appoint Adam Wrong as President of this club. Mr. Wrong, get to work.
Brilliant stuff. It will be an honour to be here.
I know that Mr Stoner was all but ready to lock in but I'd like to speak to the trainers first please.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Hi boss.
Hey gents.
Now I know about the basic facts about the team GM Stoner assembled but I wanna know, is it good enough to be up there with the big boys this season? In short... are we good enough... and if not, where are we lacking?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
By far our biggest liability is Rick Turner. The guy is flat out terrible. Beyond that, the top of the card is okay, but the opening slots....we're not the best, but we're also probably not the worst.
Is there no hope for him at all?
How much would it cost to lose Turner and bring in somebody less terrible? Have we got the funds for that?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
It'd take a miracle to get anything resembling coherent wrestling out of him. When it comes to how much things would cost, that's really not my department. I think that Miss Davis should have a team sheet for you with all the pertinent financials on it....
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=20897.msg358188#msg358188 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=20897.msg358188#msg358188)
It's my understanding that if we let him go, we'd be on the hook to pay his deal. And it looks to me that we only have $1 million left in salary to pay a replacement. I'd say you're in a tough spot boss.
Hang there a second guys.
Miss Davis could we possibly pay off Mr Turner in another way rather than honouring the deal. Maybe pay him his wage this season from PR and then pay some more off next season to him in a staggered sense in order to bring somebody else in.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
You have two options when cutting a player. You can either pay off the deal as it is already structured ($5 million per year for the next 3 years), or you can pay it off in one lump sum ($15 million total) from either the PR or Incentives budget. I don't believe that we have room in the budget for the latter option.
Would it be possible to pay his salary for this year out of our PR? Any... possible way as neither of those options can see me get a new and improved talent
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Serena_Deeb.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Unfortunately those are the only options the league has provided.
*Sigh* Thank you Miss Davis
OK coaches, do you know anybody who is not terrible that would work for cheap? I mean... REALLY cheap? I've worked out the free agents who are free but I doubt that anybody would work for 1mill a year even if I throw in a bucket of incentives...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Sorry Chief, nobody springs to mind. You'll have to reach out to some guys or their agents. Or maybe think outside the box, get creative, and come up with a different solution. I suppose if worst comes to worst, we'll just sit him in the sparring slot, and pray we have no injuries.
OK, if he is as bad as you say then I am not going to tolerate him. My plan of action is to first approach somebody about the contract. Failing that, we will be having a night out in Houston.
Miss Davis, can you get me the representative of Tommy Two Times please?
I am in a bit of a bind in that I am interested in signing you to the Shoot Club. Unfortunately I can't offer you a huge amount but can offer you PR and incentives. You currently don't have a job so wouldn't any job feed you for this year?
How does a 1 year, 1 million deal sound? With 3 million PR and 3 million signing on fee?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Ted_DiBiase02.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Well, looks like today is your lucky day. Tommy would LOVE to be on a roster. The only thing he wants is a personal guarantee that he will be in the starting lineup. Is that something you can provide?
He will be in the starting line up guaranteed on the proviso that performances are maintained to a standard expected of The Shoot Club. He will be more than likely part of the tag division but I can be flexible as long as he is. How does that sound?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Ted_DiBiase02.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
It sounds like a fancy way of you saying "no Eric, I won't guranatee you the one thing that your client wants".
There's no fancy way I say things. I'm saying that he will move into the starting line-up straight away but if he turns out to be a burning pile of garbage in the ring then he won't be starting. Is that a little clearer?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Ted_DiBiase02.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
Allow me to be clear. Tommy. Wants. To. Start. Period. None of this "he'll start, but I may bench him at some point" nonsense. He'll sign if he starts - for the whole season.
If that doesn't float your boat, then hit up some other agent, because those are Tommy's terms, and he's told me that they are non-negotiable.
I can go with that but he will not start if he gets injured... I am not putting the talent's health on the line.
He will be happy in the tag division yes?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Ted_DiBiase02.jpg)
(http://www.mutualmoneypaydayloans.com/images/get-cash-icon.png)
You keep coming up with excuse after excuse, instead of just saying "yes I agree". Is this injury thing some sort of "out" that you are setting up for yourself? If you don't like Tommy's performance, you claim that he is injured and he rides the pine?
Tommy wants a guarantee that he starts. No more, no less.
Not at all... I have said time and again he is a guaranteed start... I am just confirming the facts.
In short. Yes, he is guaranteed a start with the Shoot Club.
You know what, forget it... Deal is off... Thank you for your time
Get me the coaches back please

Whats up?
We are taking a trip out around Houston. I want to go to anywhere that anybody who wants a fight is residing. Boxing clubs, night club door staff, disgruntled high school gym teachers. I want to find one who - with a little cash - could be turned into something passable for a rough and ready wrestler for the Shoot Club.
How much will that cost us from pr?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
For an exhaustive, yet fast, search of Houston? I think we can do that for $1 million in PR.

Alright Boss, me and Chuck scoured the local area. From bars, to underground fight clubs, you name it, we checked it out. We found two dudes that fit the bill. Neither has pro wrestling experience - one is a rodeo guy, the other bouncer - but both are hard as nails, and love to fight. I'll send them in.

OK gentlemen, I may have an opportunity to work for me. It is the pro wrestling industry. Now what - if anything - do you guys know about this business?

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
I've seen it on TV from time to time. Always enjoyed what I saw, but the rodeo circuit has kept me pretty busy.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
I don't know too much about it really. I used to watch when I was a kid, but kinda fell off. I've met some wrestlers that came through my club over the years though. Cool dudes.
That's a good start. I might have a place on my roster for one of you gentlemen...
I just need to know a little about you so I'll be asking you a few questions.
Both of you lead fairly physical lifestyles. How would you rate your general health?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
I don't go to the gym or anything like that, I stay in shape by working hard. Most people hear about the rodeo and they think about the 8 seconds on the bull. They don't give a thought about the hours of training, the practice, the actual care of the animal....it's a ton of work.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
I've broken my hand a few times on the faces of some numbskulls at clubs I've bounced at, but other than that, no worries. I stay strong by lifting.
Interesting... very interesting.
If you were to engage in the art of professional wrestling, there are a wide range of styles that people adopt. What style of wrestler would you see yourself as?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Well, I've never wrestled before, so I think I'd be limited at first. But I'm a quick study, so if your training staff is any good, I think I might pick up a few things as the weeks go by. But to specifically answer your question, I'd probably be a power, brawling type.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Never wrestled, or had a professional fight, but I've been in a TON of fights in my life. Proud to say that I've won just about all of 'em. There'd be very little fancy moves from me, but a whole lot of "punch your teeth in, kick your head in" sort of stuff.
OK gentlemen, thank you very much for your time. It has been a pleasure to interview both of you.
Mr Archer, you are a fascinating character but right now, I don't think you are quite what we are looking for in the company at this time.
Mr Dallas, how would you like your next rodeo to be here at The Shoot Club? I'd like to offer you a 500k, 1 year deal before reviewing at the end of the year at how you perform. You will receive a great training package and we would love to have you on board.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Well, I'm interested Hoss, but I do pretty darn well for myself already. For me to take the time off of the rodeo circuit that this'd require, I'm gonna need a little more payola.
I can make it a 1million deal...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
Hmm, a cool mill huh? Can you throw a bonus on top of that, so that I can wrap things up with my animals? The people I'd be dealing with are "pay me now" type of folks, so I'll need cash on hand.
How about 500k incentive package up front? That's half a year of wage before you even set foot in a ring?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)

Sign me up Hoss!
Fantastic stuff. I'll future deal it.
Get me Rick Turner please.
Rick, I'm really sorry but you just aren't up to the Shoot Club standard that I'm looking for so it's with a heavy heart that I'm letting you go. Your wage will continue to be paid in the same manner. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.

Yo, ain't that a kick in the balls.
My apologies, Mr Archer should be nearby. He might have a job for you...
Coaches, Clint Dallas is ours to mould. How about 1 million further pr to give him some intensive training?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
The season starts REAL soon. Chuck and I are gonna do our best to get him up to speed, but I don't think there's time for any extra trainin' at this point.
OK what we'lldo is stick him in the sparring squad this week. Have him observe everything and take as much in as possible.
Main Eventer: Joel Rocker - Captain
Semi-Main Eventer: Sam Barton
Tag Team #1: Rob Washington
Tag Team #2: Bradley
Woman: Jaime Hampton
Curtain Jerker: Randy Pike
Bench: Keyarra
Sparring Squad: Clint Dallas
And with that, let's lock in
This afternoon GM Adam Wrong of The Shoot Club held a post fight press conference. He answered a number of questions from the journalistic world. The following are highlights from the press conference.
How do you feel that Week 1 in TCW went for you?
"Obviously it's been a tough first week. Taking over at such short notice was never going to be easy so taking the match to only a 3-2 defeat isn't the worst thing that could have happened. A few performances from my roster stood out and for that I can take a number of positives. We have a lot to work on and thankfully I have more time to work with the guys and girls to prepare for next week."
Tell us about Sam Barton, he seems more interested in wine, women and good times than wrestling. Is his head in the game?
Sam Barton is obviously a young guy taking full advantage of his youth and looks. In any other situation, I would say that boys are being boys but this is a tough industry and I will be making damn sure that he puts 100% into his training next week and 110% into his match.
Did anything else in the news catch your eye this week?
Rory McCaul is certainly a headstrong and opinionated lad but there is a limit to the criticism the rest of the roster can take. GM McMasterson had better make sure that he reminds Rory who is boss.
Tell us your feelings about the upcoming week.
We welcome the Union Jacks. I was obviously not deemed worthy of the job when I applied to it a while ago. Their loss was The Shoot Club's gain. This week I get to show them exactly what they missed out on.
With that, the press conference was brought to a close.
---
Brandon, Chuck... what went wrong this week? What are your overall thoughts about our team's performances?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I don't think we did too bad out there. Gibson and Wynn are one of the top tag teams in the whole league, so it's no shame in dropping a match to them. Barton put on a helluva show, but came out on the losing end - that was the tipping point for us this week.
So Barton still performed well despite his personal actions?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
It was a helluva match, and the kid looked great, even in defeat. It just makes you wonder just how good he can be, if he were to fully commit himself, you know?
I'll have a word with him.
How did Clint Dallas fit in this week. Did he watch over things carefully.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
He fits in great, no issues there. He seems pretty serious about giving this his all, he trained hard.
Any concerns with any aspect of the team? Looking ahead, have we got enough here to succeed?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
We'll compete, but I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves. We're pretty weak in the tag and opening match slots, and Dallas has a lot of catching up to do seeing as he didn't get to go to camp with us.
I understand where you are coming from. Let's hope we can at least hold our own.
We will be able to build on this season. I have every faith that you can guide Dallas onto big things. How long before we can put him in the ring

Shoot, that's a tough question to answer. I'd like, at the bare minimum, another week or two to try and get him up to speed before we throw him out there. In an ideal world, I'd say we should sit him and let him learn for at least half the season.....but we ain't livin' in an ideal world.
I'll have a word with him and see how he feels? Anything else to raise before I move on to talking to a few of the guys and girls?

I'm all set if you are.
All good on my end.
Can you send Sam Barton in please?
Sam, cracking match. Absolutely immense match. All I have heard is positive regarding your performance. The only things wrong were the result... and seeing your face plastered all over the dirt sheets. I don't buy what they spew so I want to hear it from the stallion's mouth...

Yo, my dude!! You need ta be a little more specific with me bruh. I'm waaaay too busy to keep up with the gossip sites and whatnot. What are they sayin' 'bout me?
Dude, I'm talking about the strip club. Personally, I think it's a perfect way to unwind and I just want to make sure that this is a POST MATCH activity...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/I%20-%20J/John_Morrison.jpg)

Yo, it's like I said to the guy that used to sit in that chair....I'm gettin' PAID son!! You know what you gots to do when you get PAID....make it rain bruh!! I'd live in the titty bar if they'd just throw me a pillow and blanket!
You wouldn't need pillows with those titties on show amirite?
But seriously bud, I just wanna make sure that you are focused before your matches. I don't want to be seeing your performance suffer at the hands of sweet nourishing titties
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/I%20-%20J/John_Morrison.jpg)

MY DUDE!!
HOLDS HIS HAND UP FOR A HIGH FIVE
*Returns that high 5*
But I need those performances to not just be outstanding, I need them to be victorious and outstanding.
How about this, if you win 70% of your matches this season, I will have a wing of your favourite Houston strip club dedicated to you...

SAM'S EYES GROW WIDE
Dude....are you fuckin' serious dude? I'd get like, free admission an' shit? I'd be like, the King of the Titty Bar?!?!
I'm serious... I'll invest money next season in you becoming the King of the Titty Bar... IF you get the results... deal?

You know it bruh!
OK well get to training buddy I'll catch you later

Send in Clint Dallas please.

Clint, you've been doing some training and some observing of this fine industry and I wanted to see what you thought so far?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2e1aedu.jpg)
It's a heck of a lot of information comin' at me at once, I'll tell you that. Things are coming along pretty well though I think.
Well that's good to hear. This industry is a world away from your previous work but I know damn well that you can achieve great things here. I won't be rushing you into the ring so when you start feeling a little ring ready you let me know alright? Any concerns at all?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I'm just anxious to get out there and help the team, but I know I have to be patient.
I'd rather you come in a few weeks down the line and shock people with how prepared you are rather than rush in, injure yourself or others. Are you getting the hang of wrestling though? Thought of a finisher etc?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
My head knows you're right, but my heart still wants me to get in there as quick as I can, know what I mean? Also, I was thinking of using a Lariat clothesline. It seems to suit my general experience, ability and strengths the best right now, know what I mean?
And with your rodeo background that would work a treat
You have passion, I admire that and it will reap rewards down the line. Keep working hard and I'll be in touch. Anything else you want to touch on?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)

Nah, I'm good.
Keep up the good work buddy see you later
Joel Rocker please.
oel, a commanding first week. Good work my man. That is why you are the Main Event star in this organisation. How are you feeling?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)

I'll tell you what, I feel MUCH better than that sack of shit Donnie Temple! The poor little guy never got the license plate of the truck that ran him down like a dog!
That is what I love man. Intensity, aggression and brutality. You all fired up to keep it up next week?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)

Great win this week Ms Hampton. More like that and you will be going far in this business.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Thanks boss. Just doing my part.
Well keep it up. This team is in for a tough season and with you on board it's a damn sight easier. Any concerns or queries?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Stacy_Keibler.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
No, I'm all set boss.
Keep up the good work.
Can you bring in Randy Pike?
Tough break last week, are you feeling energised for next week/
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/M%20-%20N/Masada.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Energized...is that code for something? You got the hookup? I can keep it on the down low man....
No... and I don't want you looking for anything of the sort in this company. Women is one thing... whatever you are insinuating is something else...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/M%20-%20N/Masada.jpg)

Nah boss.....I was talking about.....umm.....vitamins and shit......5 hour energy and shit like that.....haha, no worries......I'm gonna go now.....
And last but by no means least... Keyarra
How did sparring go for you this week? Feeling sharp and ready for action?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/S%20-%20T/Sharmell.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Feelin' good, feelin' loose. Ready for my opportunity.
Keep up that feeling and we'll see how the weeks progress.
Bring the rest of the team in please...
THE TEAM ARRIVES
Now first of all this week I have called each of you into my office to gauge how you are progressing. I won't be doing that every week. My door is always open if you want to talk to me about any issues you might have. I will speak to a couple of you if there is a pressing need to but each of you are adults and each of you have enough brains up there to know when you need to speak to me...
Ladies and Gentlemen, last week wasn't our week. While we went out there and gave what we felt was our best, led us to come up short... We came up short in our own back yard... In our home territory. Do any of you think that is acceptable? Do any of you think that is the precedence that we want to set in? To allow every weak willed nobody to stroll in here and sully our own back yard? Would you let a stranger wander into your home and do what they want to you and yours?
This week, the redcoats are coming... THE REDCOATS ARE COMING! They will have seen what happened last week and think that this fortress is nothing more than a sandcastle as the tide rolls in... No, we are the Shoot Club, we are the toughest set of SOBs in TCW and this week, the rest of this industry will know that we simply gave everybody else a 1 week headstart... WHO IS WITH ME?
Main Eventer: Joel Rocker - Captain
Semi-Main Eventer: Sam Barton
Tag Team #1: Rob Washington
Tag Team #2: Bradley
Woman: Jaime Hampton
Curtain Jerker: Randy Pike
Bench: Keyarra
Sparring Squad: Clint Dallas
LOCK IN
THE MEDIA AWAITS EITHER YOUR STATEMENT OR PRESS CONFERENCE
This afternoon GM Adam Wrong of The Shoot Club held a post fight press conference. He answered a number of questions from the journalistic world. The following are highlights from the press conference.
How do you feel that Week 2 in TCW went for you?
"OK before I go ahead and pull apart the remains of this week's debacle, I'd like to apologise members of the media who were left shaken by Mr Rocker's actions. His passion shone through and is a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, for those left upset by this, please contact me aside from this press conference. As for this week? It's just not acceptable is it? To lose is one thing but to lose in such an embarrassing manner is something that is frankly unacceptable and I will be looking at the roster from top to bottom and reviewing everybody's role within the company."
The Joel Rocker matter, is that behaviour which you believe to be of The Shoot Club?
"As I've already referenced, Joel wears his heart on his sleeve. His reaction shows passion, heart and desire to improve. If he can replicate that passion in the ring, things will be looking up for us."
Did anything else in the news catch your eye this week?
"Mr Faafili is a proud man and Justin keeps putting his foot in it unfortunately. It will take a lot of effort to bring him around to compete again but if Rafa wants to come to the lone star state, he knows my number."
Tell us your feelings about the upcoming week.
"A trip to Boston is on the cards. We really need to turn things around and depending on where Mr Steele's head is will depend how they fare against a hungry team looking to improve."
With that, the press conference was brought to a close.

Coaches... 4-1... what the hell guys? Where did it all go wrong?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Rocker's loss was a close one, it could've gone either way if you ask me. Washington and Bradley are starting to come together as a team, but they're not there yet. As for the other two loses, they were pretty decisive. Just a bad night all around man.
How is Dallas coming along? Worth risking him in the opening spot next week?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I think it's worth a shot. He can't do any worse.
What about the rest of the guys. Anything else I should be concerned with?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Rocker threatening the media hasn't won us any favors, I'll tell you that. It's a big black eye for us. ESPN keeps showing that clip in a loop on SportsCenter.
As I told the media, the guy showed passion. I'll have a word with him but good job on talking him down. The media should realise we aren't a soft organisation despite the results.
What about Sam, was he more focused this week?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
He kinda kept to himself, but the proof is in the pudding. He looked great out there.
This week I'd appreciate it if one of your team worked hard with Clint Dallas to make sure he's ready. I don't want him hurting somebody or worse... himself out there.
Is there anything else before I speak to the team?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I'll work with Clint personally. I've got nothing else.
You're a top coach my friend... I appreciate it.
Joel Rocker please...
Joel, how are you feeling? Are you a little caernarfon now?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
....the fuck is a "caernarfon"? You cussin' me out in Brit-speak?
Fucking autocorrect.
Are you feeling a little calmer now?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Dude, you got an autocorrect in your brain? That's fucking nuts!
But yeah, I'm good now. Assholes ought to know better than to stick a camera and microphone in my face after I lose.
That's part and parcel of being in the big leagues mate. They are gonna scrutinise everything you do in the ring and everything you say out of the ring. They will know to back off now but if they get in your face, just drop a 'no comment' and get out of the situation.
If one of them fuckers had pressed charges, where would that have left us this week? We'd me without our main event fixture headi get into what some sections of the media are calling a must win match. We can't do this without you...
Just transfer all that rage and intensity into what you do in the ring and those media hacks will soon back off.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
i bring it every week, no worries. I can't promise I won't snap at anyone after a tough loss, media or not. People need to leave me the fuck alone in those circumstances. Period.
By the way, who is our "Main Event fixture headi"? Is she hot? Can I get her number?
Get the win this week and I will personally organise a main event headi for you...
Is the anything you want to talk about?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
What's up with this 'ginger beer' rage? Fucking hipsters ruining the nectar of the gods....I don't need ginger in my beer, or an orange slice in my beer, I just need fucking beer in my goddamn beer! Know what I mean?
I hear that The Rockets all love these nouveau beers. They love their beer full of fruit and love those novelty fruity ciders too.
Show them the error of your ways and we can down a few beers to celebrate getting a win on the board for the Shoot Club. Does that sound good?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Show them the error of MY ways? You mean you like that tuti fruity craft beer and cider shit? Damn boss, I thought you were more of a man than that!
Ah their ways... THEIR ways.
It's been a long week and losing to the Jacks has made it even longer...
I'll let you get back to training. Just remember to use that anger against your opponent next week.
Clint Dallas please.
Clint, how has the training been going?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Pretty good boss, pretty good. No promises on picking up a 'W', but I won't embarrass myself out there or anything.
I'm thinking of putting you into a match this week. Would you feel ready for such a thing? I'm not asking you to win, I am simply asking you to try.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)

Good man. I've arranged for a little intensive coaching this week for you to get you ready. Is there anything else you need?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I'm excited boss! Can't wait to get my hands dirty! I'm good to go!
Alright buddy. I'll let you get back to training.
Rob and Bradley please

Yeah, Lightning is a helluva wrestler boss. He just beat me, it's that simple. I'm embarassed, but I'll use it for motivation this week.
Make sure BOTH of you use a defeat like that as motivation. We are 0 and 2... we cannot and will not let is go to 3...
Is there anything about the ring work that you want to talk about?

It takes a bit of time to gel as a team boss. We're getting there.
Just make sure you're gelled in time for this week.
Randy Pike please...
Randy, another defeat this week and I'm sorry but I'm shuffling things around. I'm seeing how it pans out by putting you on the bench. It's not personal but might help you going forward.

Bummer dude.
Keep working hard and we'll see what happens next week but for now... watch... develop. .. improve
Keyarra please
Keyarra, you've been working hard in Sparring. For that I'm giving you the spot this week. Use it wisely

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I won't disappoint!
Jaime please...
Jaime... I'm shuffling the pack in the hope of a good hand this week. As a result, I'm putting Keyarra into the woman's position. It's not a personal thing, it's just to see how it pans out.

Sam Barton please...
Nicely done last week man. Keep up the good work. Can I help with anything?

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Nah dude, I'm cool. As a matter of fact, I'm hype as hell based off our last discussion! Gonna keep racking up the "W's" so that I can be rebranded as "Lord Barton: King of the Titty Bar"! That shit has some pizzazz, amiright?
That's all pizzazz my friend. Just keep racking them up and the tittys are all yours.
If there is nothing else I shall prepare to lock in shortly

You know where to find me dudebro.
Everybody assemble please.
Guys. 0 and 2... it's not acceptable guys. It really isn't. I know I didn't assemble you but I am your Manager right now. We are heading into this week and each of you are under the microscope. I am not afraid to wield the axe if you aren't working hard enough. Some of you will know that by the pack shuffling this week. Let's kick on and start our winning ways.
Main Eventer: Joel Rocker - Captain
Semi-Main Eventer: Sam Barton
Tag Team #1: Rob Washington
Tag Team #2: Bradley
Woman: Keyarra
Curtain Jerker: Clint Dallas
Bench: Jaime Hampton
Sparring Squad: Randy Pike
LOCK IN
On the last match...
"Well, that was another heartbreaking defeat. A lot of those guys are going out there and giving 110% and yet we just aren't getting the luck with these result. It's not acceptable and I will continue to tweak where necessary until we get it right."
On our news story...
"Bradley and Washington are working hard to gel as a unit and it started to come through this week. That is testament tothe work my coaches are putting in."
On a news story that caught my eye...
"To see a wrestler with the caliber of Donnie Temple lie down in the middle of the ring is a dark day for this industry. Personal feelings aside, you do not behave in that way and I hope that GM Deat punishes him accordingly."
On the upcoming week...
"We will be heading in with them obviously expecting an easy win... I will be making sure that doesn't happen..."

Coaches... what is going on...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Honestly, I'm pretty encouraged at what I saw man. We took the best team in the league down to the final match. Dallas is green, but progressing. Bradley and Washington picked up a big win. Barton continues to roll. The Main Event was a great one, and even though Rocker lost, he looked amazing in there.
Is this enough though. I mean the tables don't lie and the owners aren't going to be patient forever. Or should we be patient this week and leave the team unchanged?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Well, what would you propose? We just shuffled the deck last week you know....?
... we are pretty limited.
In terms of our ladies, who has performed better out there...
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Hampton wrestled twice for us, and is 1-1. Keyarra has wrestled once, and is 0-1. Neither one of them has blown me away or anything, but Hampton did pick up a win.....
I might bring Hampton back into the mix...
Dallas may have lost but how is he coming on?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Steady growth from him since the get go.
Great stuff. Anything else to raise?
Or can you send Dallas in please.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
It was great to get out there and get my hands dirty for real! I just wish I had been able to pick up the win for us.
You did a sterling job my man. Just keep up the effort next week and the victory might be yours.
Anything else you wish to discuss? If not can I see Mr Rocker please.
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bob_Orton.jpg)

Thanks for the confidence boss, I'll see you later.

Yo boss. You wanted to see me?
Just checking in on you mate. Tough loss this week. How are you feeling?

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
Fucking pissed. I hate losing to pip squeaks like James. I don't know what's going on boss.
Is there anything I can do to help? I mean you've still got the passion, we just need to turn that passion into a win next week
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Bryan_Clark.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
I dunno boss. I do know that I am a lot fucking better than this, godammit!
Of course you are. You're one of the best in this damn business. Use this anger as a motivation for this week. Prove every doubter wrong. Imagine the look on the reporters faces when this week we see one of the most one sided main events in TCW history!

.....umm......word?
Boys, you were tripping, illing or whatever colloquialisms you wish to describe it. Either way, it was immense and you should be proud of your work. I want you to keep it up. You've clearly found your rhythm. If you need anything let me know.
If not can I see Mr Barton please.

"What do you want me to say? Another defeat. I inherited a team that has not delivered results. We are improving with each week. The win will arrive..."
On our news story...
"Clint has worked his arse off to get ring ready and as a total Rosie he has done more than impress. It's refreshing to see such heart and passion. The wins will come to him soon enough."
On a news story that caught my eye...
"President Bone is wanting to shake things up. I admire anyone not afraid to shake things up and make sure nobody has a guaranteed place in their teams."

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
We're THIS CLOSE boss, I can feel it. The top of the card is strong, we just need for Clint to break through, or for Bradley and Washington to have a bit more consistency.
Wanna focus on Clint again this week? I reckon a little more nurturing and he'll get a win. Do you agree?
(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac234/GVSG/My%20Games/Pro%20Wrestling%20Nexus%20v104/Wrestler%20Images/A%20-%20B/Barry_Windham.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2jcx951.png)
He'll presumably be up against Mike Haller this week, which is a daunting task for anybody, let alone a novice. But I reckon matching up with a world class athlete like Haller will show us EXACTLY where Clint is in his development. He'll get my full attention this week.
Cracking stuff.
Any concerns about the rest of the roster?

THE MEDIA BEGIN TO GET IMAGINATIVE IN THEIR STORIES, AS THEY GROW IMPATIENT
On the last match...
Wow... so this is what it feels like to win huh? Huge credit has to go to every member of the team and not just those in the ring. The doctors, the trainers, the bench, the Sparring..
You name it, they have played a part in our success. We have been unlucky in our results at times and at others we have been downright awful. But this may well be a corner turned.
On our news story...
Clint getting his first ever win is a big thing for all of us and we will celebrate tonight with a drink or 2.
On a news story that caught my eye....
The Devils are embroiled in a prostitution scandal after naively hiring a... "yoga instrctor". Teams need focus and goals... they sure as hell don't need handjobs at 20 dollars a go... Let's hope their boys haven't caught anything.
On the upcoming week...
We use our momentum and move on to bigger and better things. We are due a winning streak!
