I am 55 years old and I have been in the wrestling business for 37 years. I began my career in the Texas Wrestling League where I was the lead announcer from October 1981 to February 1995 when the company closed it's doors. One month later, I received a job offer to become the lead announcer at Supreme Wrestling Federation, which I happily accepted. I worked my way up in that company to become the lead executive under Richard Eisen. In September 2015 I was released from the company and I began speaking with Allen Packer. I must have impressed Mr. Packer with my interview skills because I was given the job of Executive Vice President upon my arrival here to the company. I am grateful to Mr. Packer and I plan to keep up the standard of excellence that this company has been showing each and every week."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans Unicode';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans Unicode';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans Unicode';"><strong>[The Grand Avatar:]</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans Unicode';"> "Thank you, Mr. Michaels.

This will definitely be bringing some others into the company and it just might mean releasing some wrestlers who do not fit the product. I will, however, give each wrestler the opportunity to keep their job as we move forward. I will not simply be coming in and cleaning house. As an exclusive here first, I will give you the fact that our event schedule has been changed. In order to make things more cohesive, I made the decision to place almost every event on Sunday in the third week of the month. This will begin with Stars, Stripes And Slams this month. The two events that will take place on different days are Independence Day Slam, which has always taken place on July 4th and Thanksgiving Thunder which will take place the day before Thanksgiving.

I am 41 years old and I am from the Canadian Province of Quebec. This means that I speak both English and French fluently. I will be taking you through this first month of Mid Atlantic Wrestling. In the month of January, we hold a tournament called The Rip Chord Invitational. The winner of this tournament receives a trophy and a bonus.

This is a cut-throat business where those willing to sacrifice their friends get to the top. We have seen it time and again with Sammy Bach and Teddy Powell a good example.

The tolls that this job can take on you are tremendous when you are in just one position. But, back to your question, why MAW? The truth is that I have chosen this promotion because it is not in competition with the big boys. That is not what this promotion is about. This promotion is about developing the talent of the future. As Head Booker of MAW, I will not be cutting any throats. I will simply be developing talent until they are ready to move on to another promotion. Once they are contacted by any other promotion, they have a choice to make. If they believe they are far enough in their training, they can move on to their future. If they believe they are not far enough along, they can decline the other promotion and remain on the active roster here.

He makes his way down to the ring with his WWE Championship slung over his shoulder. Orton addresses the roster on the stage saying some people are born champions and he is now their superior. Big Show's music hits. He runs down the ramp and The Shield cuts him off. The Usos, Goldust and Cody Rhodes run down to clear house on The Shield. Big Show hits the ring. Triple H, Randy Orton and Stephanie bail. Big Show gets on the mic and said he is sick of what is going on and he doesn't care if he gets arrested. Orton then sneaks in and levels Big Show with the WWE Championship belt. Orton goes to hit Big Show a second time with the belt and Big Show hits the knockout punch on Orton.

Triple H's eyes go wide inside the ring. His jaw drops. Out from the back comes none other than Shane McMahon! The Prodigal Son returns, dancing back and forth along the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand. Stephanie looks shocked to see her brother standing at the top of the ramp. Hunter yells off-microphone that this is NOT what is supposed to happen tonight!]</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Shane McMahon:</strong> "First of all, it's great to see my beautiful sister and my brother-in-law doing what they have been born to do. They were born to help run this company. The only problem is that they've run this company...into the ground. And that's not good for business, Hunter, oh no no no. That's bad for business. That's bad for the McMahon family. So I have been talking to the board of directors and we have been discussing just what to do about this. But don't worry, Hunter, Steph, I haven't come back to take the WWE or Raw out from under your, well, your noses. Instead, what we decided as the board of directors is that I will be given full reign to WWE Smackdown and that we will be seeing a return of the brand split. That was a marvelous idea, wasn't it? The brand split? It gave wrestlers who might not have had a shot a chance to be in the spotlight. So tomorrow on WWE.com, we will be in the board room and a draft will be held to determine what wrestlers are on Raw and what wrestlers are on my Smackdown."</p><p> </p><p> <em>[A pause and Triple H is yelling obscenities from the ring. He cannot seem to believe what is going on!]</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Shane McMahon:</strong> "I'm not done yet, Hunter. This little experiment of yours bringing Raw to 3 hours instead of 2? Yeah, that's over. We're going to have equal time. Both shows will be 2 hours of professional wrestling's finest. Because that is the way of the WWE. That is the way of the McMahons. I'll see you in the board room tomorrow, Trips."</p><p> </p><p> <em>['Here comes The Money' kicks up again with Big Show smiling in the ring and Triple H and Stephanie looking completely shocked and appalled that all this happened without them even knowing about it!]</em></p>

"Enforcer" Arn Anderson vs. Vader A tough match to select so we'll call it a draw! WCW United States championship: Stunning Steve Austin vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat This is always a great match but if you were going to give the title to Steamboat, it probably would have been at the Bash. Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. The Butcher The Butcher, The Baker and The Candlestick Maker all cheat their way to victory. Booker T vs. Cactus Jack Both top guys from their teams. I give the edge to Mr. Bang Bang. "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes vs. "Pretty" Paul Roma Dustin is just better than the former Horseman.

WCW World Heavyweight Championship "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan It's difficult to go against the grain in this matchup since it is Hogan's debut match here in WCW. I have to go with Hogan. WCW United States Heavyweight Championship "Stunning" Steve Austin vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat This is an interesting feud. I say the heel takes the first match. WCW World Television Championship Lord Steven Regal with Sir William vs. Johnny B. Badd I have always seen more of a future with Regal than with JBB. WCW World Tag Team Championships Cactus Jack & Kevin Sullivan with Dave Sullivan vs. Pretty Wonderful In real life, Pretty Wonderful takes the belts here. Will this one mimmick real life? Time will tell. Special Referee: Mr. T! The Guardian Angel vs. Vader The Guardian Angel wins by DQ when Vader cold-cocks Mr. T "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson & "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes vs. Terry Funk & Bunkhouse Buck with Col. Robert Parker and Meng If Dustin pins Funk, he gets Parker for five minutes on Saturday Night! If Funk pins Rhodes, Dustin must join the Stud Stable! But they get out of the stipulation by having Arn make the pin. Special Bonus Match! Stars 'n Stripes vs. Harlem Heat A close match but Bagwell and The Patriot walk away with the victory.

Non-Title: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Flyin' Brian Ric Flair gets some momentum going toward WCW Bash At The Beach. Terry Funk vs. Arn Anderson The Enforcer with a DQ win against the wild Texan. Stunning Steve Austin and Lord Steven Regal vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Johnny B. Badd A close match but the heels pick up the win. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs. Cactus Jack Mr. Wonderful picks up what might be considered an 'upset' victory over one half of the tag team champions. Bad Attitude vs. Terry Taylor and Scott Stud Bad Attitude has more of a 'future' than Taylor and Stud. Always glad to know that I have a reader for my WCW diary. Looking forward to seeing how your path differs from mine. Plan on predicting each week.

Just got caught up on this. Excellent shows thus far. I worry about putting Mr. T in the ring in a match. We may have some similar storylines forthcoming, though. But I will definitely be reading.
