D.O.T.T. My Dream

[Guest cmdrsam]

Well guys I have decided to try the diary world again. I tried with the last one with pics and the likes and just got to burned out. This will be set late 82 coming into 1983. Playing right now on TEW 05. However, I have 07 ordered and waiting for confirmation number anytime now. I do not have the abilty of some of the better minds here on the board. But I still plan on doing this anyway. I hope you enjoy the work. And I look forward to hopefully to keep us entertained.

[Guest cmdrsam]

It all started on an unimportant night. In a small hole in the ground bar some place out east, perhaps Virginia, maybe North Carolina. I was on my way home from looking to acquire a new supplier for my gift store. I decided to stop for a beer or two find a small hotel and camp for the night, to finish the trip back to Illinois, The Bar really like any small bar, you know pool table, juke box playing the two ungodliness types of music that make the hair on my back standing straight up. You know country and western. But I’m tired and I just want a quick couple of drinks, find a bed and go to sleep. Then 2 gentlemen walk in, wait, these are no gentlemen. These two are wrestlers. Me being of somewhat of a closet fan, Ok maybe not so closet, decided to 1. Walk over introduce myself ask for autograph and generally making a fool of myself. Downside,,,could get severely beating from these two as they are probably just like me ,,tired,,want a drink,,or two and then possibly crash for the night. Or I could use plan b. Act cool, maybe acknowledge them tell a big fat lie when I got home how about how I meet these two men got their autographs and partied all night long. Result, little white lies hurt no one. Gee where have I heard that before? Conscience, get lost. You see these two men are truly 2 of the biggest men you could see in a place like this. Ok, I’ll throw you a bone. Try this on for size. Sitting right down the bar from me were Dusty Rhodes and Stan Hansen.Both were obviously tired after a match somewhere. Trying to get to the next town for the next show and decided to have drink. I give both of them a nod. O gee, yeah that was slick. Nothing like an obviously northern boy like me giving these two a polite nod. They nod back. Ok that went well. No broken bones yet.Dusty get's up. Walks in my general location, I say long night? His response you don’t know the half of it. Don’t I know you from somewhere friend? I say no, not from around these parts but I guess I just have one of those faces. Dusty chuckles and starts to look for the restroom. He returns and starts talking to Stan. I look preoccupied with the order form from my business. But I do notice they are both looking at me. The bartender brings me a beer and says it’s from the gentlemen down the bar. I say thanks and give them what ever they are drinking in return. They look kind of in between shocked and confused. They both lift their drinks and I in return in a mock celebration toast. After a few rounds of this they motion for me to come down and join them. We start with general hi, how are you? What do you do for a living, etc? Seems as if Dusty and Stan are picking my head as I mention I know who they are and what they do and try to remain calm and collected while trying to show I have some general knowledge of their world. We end the night after what I thought would be a simple 2 drink night. How many times have we all done that? We walk out to our vehicles and Stan yells over to me. MIKE, HOLD ON A FEW, DUSTY HAS SOMETHING FOR YA. I waddle over to their truck. Dusty hand me a card. Here friend, I have a friend of mine from these parts. Don’t get your hopes up, but if you ever thought about getting into the biz. This be the man to talk too. Tell him Dusty and Hansen sent ya. He tips his hat has the truck pulls away. I look down at the card with the dim lights in the parking lot JCP INC. What the hell is this I wander?

[Guest cmdrsam]

Two weeks went by as I carried the card in my wallet. I wandered what to do. I told no one and it slowly built inside of me. The curiosity eating at my mind. The one day I decided to call. Let’s quench this thirst. I dialed to J.C.P. INC. The Operator answers the phone and I ask for Jim Crockett JR. She asks who this is and I state my name and the reason for calling. I get put on hold. Damn you Dusty I think I have just been set up for a joke. Hello Mr. Cooper. I have been expecting your call sir. I think to myself ok now what do I do. Crap answer back you idiot. Mr. Crockett sir, I really don’t know why Mr. Rhodes gave me that card. And to be honest sir, I really don’t know why I called. Crockett interrupts, because son, you got the hunger. Look Dusty was impressed with you; I still need to probe more myself. I’m very busy right now as I have a meeting with my staff in a few minutes, can you come down here next week. And before you answer I will pick up the tab. I respond what day? How about next Thursday, say 10? I agree. Excellent I look forward to meeting you sir. We both hang up. Then it dawns me. Meeting, meeting for what. Now what have I gotten myself into. The week drags as all kinds of scenarios played out in my head. To the point where I begin to think maybe I should cancel the meeting. But I go anyway I think well at least I can go revisit the shop and place an order. I show up to J.C.P. Headquarters, and make my way to the inside. I see all kinds of nostalgia. Belts, trophies, pics of some of greatest wresters to ever grace to squared ring. People like Lou Thesz, Buddy Rogers, Dory Funk, Terry Funk, Ric Flair, Harley Race, The Brisco Brothers to name a few. I make my way to the receptionist and state my name. She asks me to take a seat and Mr. Crockett will be with me in a few minutes. My heart beats faster and faster. The main office door opens and Mr. Crockett and I exchange pleasantries. He asks me to enter and take a seat. We make some idol chit chat as we both attempt to get a feel for each other. Well sir I bet you are wandering what you are doing here Sir. That is an understatement Mr. Crockett. Well as you are aware sir I run the organization here, maybe you may have heard of it. It’s Mid Atlantic Wrestling. I own it and we are part of the great N.W.A. which I might also say I sit on the board of directors in which I am the president. Anyway sir I have been taken stock of the big picture. Things are stale. I have completion from the north, from The McMahon’s. I have to contend with Vern Gagne and his boys in Minnesota. Mean while I am cramped for space in Georgia and Florida. I’m looking for a head booker. Somebody with some knowledge of the scene but not blinded by the past. I need to refreshen the scene altogether. So Mike what do you think so far? I am dumb founded to say the least. Mr. Crockett, I haven’t the foggiest idea what the hell a head booker does let alone what I could do to help. That’s my point, says Crockett. Do you know those individuals were in the hall? I respond yes. That’s half the battle then. I am going to say some names to you and give me your thoughts, Mr. Crockett says. McMahon for one. Evil I respond. Not the answer he was hoping for I guess. Mr. Cooper I have known Vincent McMahon for years. He is an honorable gentleman, a tough competor, and a former board member. I agree with Mr. Crockett, but it is his son I would be concerned about. The word is out. He no longer wants to stay in his area. He wishes to promote his brand where ever he wishes. Buying up the TV time that the regional have been using for years to setup the events where the real money is at. The gate receipts. Now he has sorta super channel in the name of the USA network where he can show people, lets see here for example, his type of product. What do I mean a super channel? Mr. Crocket looks at me with a clear interest. USA I would consider one, I have one back in my home are that is starting to take off its call WGN. You have one right next door to you in the neighboring state, WTBS. That must of hit home because it now dawns on Mr. Crockett of what I am talking about We continue to talk and throw out name like Hogan, Backland, Buzz Sawyer and the likes. I am enchanted with the conversation and can confidence with each of my statements. Mr. Crockett then goes on and tells me some of the duties of what a head booker does. Then the following words come out of his mouth. I would like to offer you this position of head booker. That does it. Now my mouth goes dry. I say can I think about it? Mr. Crockett says yes but I can have a week as he wants to find someone fast. He reaches in his drawer and pulls out folders and some tapes. Here, take these with you. Go over them. Watch the tapes and get back with me in one week. Yes I know it’s almost Christmas but as I said I really would like to find an individual for this position as soon as I can.

[sebsy]

Hey, CMD, good luck with this. All I will say at this early stage is please, please, please, break your text up a bit. It is all just mixing up with itself. Paragraph things out and indicate where someone is speaking and where you are narrating.

[Guest cmdrsam]

Thank you I will see if I can do a better job at that. Need some help here. Some how I am confused on how to have the script somewhat spaced out. Anybody want to walk me thru on how to make this better looking so its easier on the eyes.

[Guest cmdrsam]

I get home dog tired from another trip to the Carolina’s. Get to my office and skim thru the folders. I have in front of me roster information, planned events, short listed workers, script ideas. I watch a few tapes and start to dose off. Dreaming of little plans I guess one can say.A few days elapse as I get word to some of my inner circle on what has happened. They of course want me to do it. But I can’t help to feel like they want a free ride or something to that effect. I start wandering about my business with the gift store. How the heck am I going to balance both? I’m not; one is going to have to go. There it is the, knot in my stomach. Oh what do I do? One of my friends steps forward. He has wanted to get into the business I was doing anyway. He says he will run the shop I can pay him whatever I think he is worth. If he likes it he would be interested in possibly taking over. One problem solved. This is a win/win situation. If he doesn’t buy from me I can always fall back if this gig doesn’t work out. Place the call you dummy I think to myself. I take the offer. Mr. Crockett requests that I get back south so I can meet the boys. I find out when and where the next show is and agree to attend. When I show up I am introduced to the crew. Some take to me others don’t cant blame them. Here I am new and wet around the ears and they have been doing this for years. Thanks to Jim for signing the checks has he has the clout to at least ease some of the fears. Dusty Rhodes was in attendance and tried to do his part as well. Jim Crockett and I sit down and start talking business. We agree on wage length of time etc. He agrees He will give a month to get my footing on the ground before he has any goals for me to reach. J.C. asks me when do "I want to start?" I say the beginning of January. J.C. "Any Ideas on a card?" Yes, I have them with me. Let’s keep the title picture the way how it is currently. Let’s start out with this. 1st match Sweet Brown Sugar vs. Dory Funk. I want some leeway and need your help Mr. Crockett has I have someone I want to bring in. He agrees I then respond 2d match Jimmy Valentine and a partner to be named latter vs. Jos Leduc and One man Gang. 3rd match The Hammer vs. Bob Orton for the US title. Maybe a tag match. Main event will be Mr. Flair vs. Piper. J.C "Where do you want to have it at?" I tell him I want to expand in the great lakes and would like to have it in the Chicago area. Jim Crockett says "We don’t have much of a presence there". I agree but it is part of a plan which I now divulge to him.

I would suggest taking a look at the other diaries on this board, and getting a feel for which style you like best. Other than that, keep up the good work. Smaller chunks also make it a quicker and easier read for most people :)

[Guest cmdrsam]

Thank you I appreciate the info. I am trying to get it down. Can someone walk me thru on how to center my wording more of in the middle. As I will be needing this in the near future.

[Jasx12]

If you want to center something put the tag [center] and ["/center] (without the quotation marks. Whatever is in between the two tags will be centered.

Thanks keep em coming boys.

I lost money but I need the Great Lakes area if I am going to last. But Orton and Jimmy Valentine showed up late and they almost gave me a heart attack. Free sprits, what to do with them. Make a note let this be a free pass I guess and if it happens I’ll figure out something.

Introducing first. Former Mid Atlantic’s heavy weight champion. Paul Jones. And his opponent Jack Brisco. Paul still has some game left in him but he just can’t stay in the ring for an extended period of time. Brisco starts to make short work of Paul when out of no where The Assassin make his way down and nail Brisco right between the eye’s with a punch. The Ref demands the bell to be rung. And declare Jack Brisco the winner via DQ at 4:40. The Assassin helps Paul Jones walk back to the backstage area as they really don’t seem to care. B Rating. Steamboat is still fuming about how Don cheated to win and how Slaughter is going to pay. He is sick and tired of dealing with those two night in and night out. A Rating. Sgt Slaughter counters.

[CENTER]...And...[/CENTER] Our Main event is a one fall with TV time remaining match. Introducing first. Sgt Slaughter. And his opponent, one half of the NWA tag team champions. Ricky Steamboat. What can I say? Classic match up. Ricky is one of those types you can throw him a mop head and it would be entertaining. Slaughter, speaks for it’s self don’t it. Slaughter’s master plan almost worked to a tee as he nails Steamboat with a set of brass knuckles. But the ref was on it and see's it. Dq’s Sgt right then and there. Winner via DQ Ricky Steamboat at 10:26. Sgt complains to the ref while Steamboat walk back the ramp gloating about his win. A+ rating Good show. Got an A Rating out of it plus made money.

[CENTER]NEWS FOR THE DAY[/CENTER] Story #1 Ted Dibiase currently employed with MSW, Jerry Lawler currently employed with CWA, Randy Savage currently employed with ICA all have turned down offers from WLW. Story #2 ICA and WWA are in trouble with ratings problems. A spokesman for WTVQ TV 36 which airs the troubled ICA is said to be very unhappy with the ratings and they are possibly in talks to ending the show in the near future. Story #3 WWF held a show in Tempe AZ. Which drew 1795 fans. The feed back from the show was it was a decent show not a great one. Roddy Piper was to be said the real star of the evening.

[CENTER]News for the day[/CENTER] WWC held a card in Puerto Rico which drew 2,000 fans. A fan thought the show was excellent and thought the MVP of the show was Carlos Colon. CWA held a card in Macon GA which drew 2,000 fans. Fans thought it was an excellent show and felt the star of the show was Steve Keirn. CWF held a card in Joplin MO which drew 1,000 fans. Fans thought it to be an excellent show with Dusty Rhodes being the main reason why they went. Bad News Brown has just been inked to a pay per appearance with the MLW. This offsets the bad news of several wrestlers not wanting to sign with the fed. AWA has been reported to be actively looking to expand its roster as it possible to be rumors of several signings. On the downside it is being reported that Tully Blanchard has turned down AWA’s offer to sign.

[Guest cmdrsam]

With the turn of event’s I knew this meeting was going to take place even before the phone call was being placed. The phone rang and I answered. Yes sir I kept saying as a very agitated Jim Crocket was on the other side of the phone. I demanded that I get into the office first thing in the morning. Yep this isn’t good. Bad enough I’m basically living out of the hotels and motels across this great nation now I get to have my butt handed to me by the owner. Thanks Slaughter, Thank you kindly Mr. Piper for putting me in this situation. I head into the office with coffee in hand. You see I fight no battles I don’t intend to win. Good morning Mr. Crockett. He still isn’t in a good mood and tells me to have a seat. Mr. Crockett precedes to ask me how in the hell can I have not one but two major stars leave this great organization and why he should not fire me now. I respond it’s the nature of the beast. Mr. Crocket is just about ready to come unglued. Jim, I say, hear me out ok? You and I both know who was responsible for those hiring’s that the WWF did. It’s not the McMahon that you know but his kid. I told you he is making a power grab. Nothing more, nothing less. Here is evidence of just that fact alone. He not only hired are two guys, but ran over to the AWA and snagged Jesse Ventura and Hulk Hogan. Now why would he spend that kind of money on 4 major stars if it wasn’t true with what I said it was Jim? It’s a power grab and you know it. He is going National and we had better start doing the same or we aint going to be around much longer. This puts Mr. Crockett in a different state of mind. You could actually almost see the wheels in his head turning as he processing what I just said. Ok he responds. What do we do from here? I told him I had already been on the phone trying to get some new faces. And have already signed for new faces. Who are they Jim asks. I just inked Paul Ellering, Road Warrior Hawk, And Animal from Georgia. Whoa, there big guy! Crockett looks stunned. What did Jim Barnett have to say about this? I respond Jim is fine with it as long as it doesn’t interfere with his cards. I also inked a new guy with a great look just not to much skill and his name is Rick Rude. Never heard of him Jim responds. I throw him a picture of Rude and Jim seems to be impressed. Look Mr. Crockett. I know I haven’t been in the business that long. I understand your concern. However I would like the opportunity here to show you what I can do. For that to happen you have to trust me and my direction for this to work. No matter how hard it may seem. No matter what tradition may have told you to do in the past. This is a whole new ball game here. Mr. Crockett reluctantly agrees but says I am on a short leash. I nod in acceptance. Jim Crockett says since I have thrown him a curve It is now his turn. He says I now do not have a month to get my feet wet he is laying some goals for me right now. I pull out a small tablet and prepare to write. Goal 1. I will never be able to go in debt. I say that is simple enough. Not so fast he responds. You must never, hire a worker with a known drug problem. I agree with that. Less mess for damage control. And he says I must always remember what NWA has always been built around. And that is Athletes. We have a certain standard around here and we must live up to them. Simple enough I say. Is that it? Jim Crockett says yes, for now. I get up and shake the man’s hand. It not as friendly as it was in the past but defiantly with some more respect than what was there.
