New York City Wrestling: Struggle For Glory

[Sons of Kohral]

[B]OOC: I've always wanted to start a diary and with the sudden surge of interest (3 people) of NYCW I've decided to try my hand at one! They are by far my favorite promotion in C-Verse and I hope I do them justice here.[/B] __________________________________________ Finally. I'm so glad to be finished with high school, you have no idea. The books, the papers, the tests, its all over. Onwards to the real world! And that's when I realized... the real world sucks! I was hopelessly stuck. I had decided not to go to college, much to Franny's dismay, and instead pursued my real passion. Professional wrestling. I worked a few local shows and got really promising feedback, especially around my home town of New York City. I was hailed in the Bay Ridge Skyline as being "extremely talented with quite a future", although Franny didn't care at all. And neither did her father who supposedly hated me now because I left school. That's why when my brother told me that The Stomper, a local hero had called asking for me, I quickly took notice. I eneded up meeting him at his office in the Graybar Building, over Grand Central Station. It was a small office on the 27th floor, but it served as the hub of NYCW. I walked in and we shook hands. [color=Red]Stomper: I called you here because I've seen you first hand in the ring, and I must say, you're one of the most talented men there.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Thank you sir.[/color] [color=Red]Stomper: Listen, you can easily make it in this buissiness, no problem, and I'm sure that SWF or TCW would love to get you into developement, but I have a different idea.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Yeah?[/color] [color=Red]Stomper: Work with me. Come here and become my head booker in NYCW. [/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Head booker?[/color] [color=Red]Stomper: I mean, you can still wrestling, and in fact, you can book your own matches too! Just think about it and get back to me.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: How much does it pay?[/color] [color=Red]Stomper: It depends on how well you do. If we can rise to the level of SWF or even just DAVE, we could all be living comfortably.[/color] The thought of that made me seriously consider it, and after much pondering, later that week I dialed Stompers number and told him that I was on board. Franny was thrilled that I had a job, even if it was only with my "hobby".

It was January 2007, and thanks to all those advanced IB classes I took (working through the summer too), me and about thirty other kids graduated early. While they relaxed until they moved on to college, I was hopping on the B train and transferring to Grand Central at 8 am to get to work. Stomper was really nice to me and gave me a small office next to his to work out of. I got set up, putting on my desk scouting reports, my computer and a picture of Franny. My first order of business was to halt production of DVDs. To be honest, no one was buying them. Rather, I told Stomper, we should set up a website and put our shows on it for all to see. This in the long run will boost our popularity and get our name on the web. After giving him some orders, he gave me one. I couldn't hire any wrestler who could be injured easily. Their resilience had to be high. I was forced to accept. Other than me and Sammy Shark, who nobody other than our families and MAYBE a few die hard local fans know about, everyone else on the roster is quite old. Even our current Empire Champion, Grand Master Phunk is pushing 40, and quick. I had to find some good young talent before the first show. Al Coleman and Kashmir Signh did the trick and I signed them. Stomper also wanted me to balance out with an older more experienced wrestler. I soon came into contact with Jimmy Cox and he agreed to work for a reasonable price. Unfortunately for me, NYCW Rush Hour was fast approaching and I needed a card and quick. I decided to go old school. Build up a fued between Whistler and Phunk for the title. Also, I wanted to use Black Hat Baily as much as I could, since he was a wrestler who was very over with the fans, but is going to retire soon. The young guys, like Coleman, I'll train and work them up.

Hey hey. Thanks for the comments on my (shameless plug) NYCW diary! I am glad to see NYCW grab up another spot on the forums here, this is a hostile takeover!! But yes, I like what you got going. I thought that newspaper bit right there was pretty sweet man, that was a hell of an idea and invention! Looks like Roger Dodger is outta your NYCW too. I dunno about you but I'd say good riddance, 34 year old guy, looks like hes losing his hair and maybe watches naughty stuff on the internet so let him go out to Rhode Island, eh?! Alright dude best of luck with this diary ill stay watching! :D :cool:

[MrOnu]

Best of luck with this diary ! The news paper was very nice, but now, I feel I'm the only dumbass not proficient with a graphic creation/editor tool.

[Sons of Kohral]

Thanks for the comments guys! Us NYCW players have to stick together. I was hoping that the newspaper thing was original. Glad to see you like it.

What a dick... I was sitting in my office enjoying the stale air when I got the news. Of course, no one cares to notify me about anything. I was cruising the web for porn and I accidentally came across our promotion's page with the above plastered on it. I had to rework my card, as I had no real tag team to pit Wiley Coyote against. It was 3 days away, not enough time for me to try to sign anyone else (then again, we couldn't really afford that anyway). But life goes on and I quickly forgot about my previous predicament when I saw the fliers! [center] [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/MatteoB/Diary/X-1.jpg[/IMG][/center] I know, painfully low budget, but that's all we could afford. I'm lucky we were able to get a font other than "Times New Roman". I signed off on the fliers and gave them to Stomper to put them into action.

I found that on my desk opened to that page with our little paragraph circled in red. Next to it was a note from the Stomper congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work. That's when reality hit me again. It wasn't enough to just put up one show that the fans liked. February was quickly approaching, and with it was our next show. I managed to keep our money losses to a minimum and was going to rotate the roster for the next show and put some other of our top guys in the show and give some of the others a rest. I wanted to bring some new talent into NYCW, and to appease Stomper, I had to bring in good veterans whenever possible. Fern Hathaway was useless and I needed a good manager to be a mouthpiece for some of the more... vocally impaired wrestlers. I signed the Canadian Sensation Jenny Playmate. Later came the flier, which I had my little brother design and print out at Staples. I think it came out rather nicely. For sure better than last month's. [center][IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/MatteoB/Diary/X-4.jpg[/IMG][/center] I'm pretty proud of it. Hopefully this show can match our last one in ratings.

A good first show, it really felt like NYCW. The guy with Singh is your user characther ? Your forgot to mention his name. For sure, the veterans can deliver, I only hope you didn't bleed too much money,

I want to try to stay true to how NYCW would do things, so I'm trying to put more emphasis on the vets. And fortuently, I didn't lose that much money. That's why I didn't use American Machine, Honest Frank or Lee Wright.

Hmmm... Ok, I have to remember, the crowd doesn't really like repeats. Whistler and Phunk had been a let down and I think I'm going to have to release Mauler just because he can't put on a decent match with a pretty good wrestler. I spoke it over with Stomper and he agreed, but told me that I had to bring someone in as a replacement. I had an idea of who I'd bring and it turned out that he was cheaper than Mauler. I finalized some paper work and began thinking of the card for Brooklyn Bridge Brawl.

[MrOnu]

Brady Prince is a nice addition. It's one of those guys in the Free Agents pool that if you look carefully, you'll found some decent wrestlers with a detailed background that easily dictates his direction. A c0cky Jimmy Cox works for me and I'm looking for the next Empire championship match.

Looking back at the last show, I can say that it was a success. The tag team match was MUCH better than expected and Steve flash is now officially the man. Stomper was thrilled to see the Tennessee Outlaws getting some action and is interested in seeing where I'll be taking them. I'm much more interested in the direction of this whole American Machine thing, because he's getting the loudest pop from our crowds. Well, a cool thing is that on our small ass website, I have an interview! Here it is, presented in it's entirety: [color=Red]Marv: Hello, I'm Marv Earnest and I have quite the treat for all you fans out there.

What do you attribute the success so far to?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Honestly, it's the workers. Without them, none of us would be here and they're all giving it 110% effort while they're out there in order to turn things around for this company.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: You've brought in a few new workers to the company. What was your mindset while you looked around the indies?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: I specifically hand selected people who I felt would be at home in an old school promotion such as this. I brought in solid young workers to be the future and older veterans to help guide them down the path.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: why haven't you completely overhauled the roster? The was talks of Stomper hiring a few other men as head booekrs and all of them wanted to turn NYCW into a more modern, cutting edge type promotion.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Cutting Edge is good and all, but there's more to wrestling than just fancy flips and intense gore. It's about intriguing stories, well paced workers and solid matches. That's what made wreslting so fun and entertaining to begin with.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Now if I may, I have a few questions from fans of NYCW towards you if you would be so kind to answer them.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: Of course.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Who comes up with the names of the shows?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: I actually ask random people on the subway and choose the best sounding one.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Is there any romance going on backstage.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: There are only two girls backstage, and no.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Who is the most fun to hang out with?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: That would either be Jimmy Cox or [Honest] Frank.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: What does Black Hat Bailey drink?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: *Laughs* Believe it or not, at the celebration after "Rush Hour", I saw him downing a bottle of Baileys.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Who would you most want to be in a foxhole with you?[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: American Machine.[/color] [color=Red]Marv: Is Lee Wright dead.[/color] [color=Blue]Brian: ... of course not...[/color] [color=Red]Marv: All right, well thank you Mr. Caine.

[QUOTE=Dragonmack;245043]Glad to see you reviving this.. Looking forward to your take on NYCW as I just started a new 1.4 patch game as NYCW.[/QUOTE] Thanks! It's actually your diary that got me started in the beginning _________________________________________________________ Run To The Hills was fast approaching and I was getting storyline ideas. I wanted more of them because I think it's story lines that drive a company and make them intriguing. I made another signing which I ran by Stomper and he was ecstatic about it. I checked out the website. Nothing really new, but I posted up the announced card. [b]NYCW Tag Team Title Match[/b] Wiley Coyote (c) vs. The Tennessee Outlaws Honest Frank vs. Whistler

The champs make a second defense. Winners and STILL champions: Wiley Coyote in 7:48 Rating: E [Wiley Coyote celebrate their victory. Two men run down the ramp and slide steel chairs into the ring.

Why haven't SWF or TCW snatched him up already? Bring him in! For sure, he'll be at Hell's Gate! [/color] I put down the phone and stared at the wall in excited disbelief. This couldn't be possible but it was. HE was signing with us! It's impossible! well.. he IS from New York City... but still!!! Damn, Staples threw my brother out, so until we get a copy machine, no more flyers...
