[Cornellverse] Imperfect Present

[shamelessposer]

[b]Four Dead, All Wrestling Promoters, in Plane Crash[/b] Monday, Week 3, December 2005 ---------------- Sunday night, only thirty seconds after taking off, a small private jet crashed in a woodland area two miles east of Jordan International Airport, authorities have stated. Only four people were known to be on the plane, and none of them are reported to have survived impact. The victims were Richard Eisen, owner of Supreme Wrestling Federation; his son and the pilot of the plane, Eric Eisen; owner and World Heavyweight Champion of Total Championship Wrestling, Tommy Cornell; and Danger And Violence Extreme owner Phil Vibert. Reports from employees in each of the three companies state that Vibert, Cornell, and the Eisens were leaving Jordan International Airport for an unnamed Florida resort, where the four men were to discuss the possible purchase of the financially ailing Danger And Violence Extreme. "It's a tragedy, of course, but it hasn't sunk in yet for a lot of us," said Sam Keith, head writer for Supreme Wrestling Federation's television programming. "Months of planned storylines revolved around the Eisens, and a lot of us working on the creative side have just been too busy to grieve. I think it'll hit all of us during Tuesday night's tribute show." Employee and longtime friend of Phil Vibert, Chris Caulfield, said "We knew the financial situation here at DAVE [Danger And Violence Extreme] was bad, but we never thought Phil was thinking of selling the company. Not only has everyone in the locker room lost a close friend and great boss, but after the crash our jobs are in danger too. Everyone's been having a hard time with this." At the time of printing, authorities have no reason to suspect foul play and believe the crash was caused by pilot error. Successors to the three companies have yet to be named.

Sometime tonight I'll reveal the final fate of DAVE in this alternate Cornellverse.

[b]DANGER AND VIOLENCE EXTREME[/b] ================ Size: Gone Money: About five million in the hole Style: Nonexistent DAVE's story is a tragic one, but not entirely unexpected. Some of the gory details might be shocking, but the eventual outcome could be seen from a mile away: without the influence of Phil Vibert, DAVE would be in trouble. When Vibert died without leaving a will or any next of kin, ownership of DAVE defaulted to the banks and collection agencies that were already circling the little promotion that could. Mitch Naess, Nemesis and Chris Caulfield, true believers in Vibert's vision, managed to hold off foreclosure until May of 2006 and their farewell show, "The Big Crunch." If there were any justice in the world, even a smidgen, DAVE's story would end here. However, that would prove to not be the case, as all rights, trademarks, copyrights and licenses from DAVE were sold at auction to one man: [i]Sam [b]****ing[/b] Strong[/i], who thought a USPW/DAVE "invasion" storyline was just what was needed to push USPW to the next level. Chris Caulfield and Big Cat Brandon, the DAVE Unified and Brass Knuckles champions, refused to defend their belts in a USPW ring, leading to the Brass Knuckles title being retired and the DAVE Unified title quietly being vacated and handed to Kurt Laramee, who lost a unification match to Bruce the Giant less than a month later. Guide and Scout, on the other hand, parlayed their status as the last DAVE Tag Team champions into guaranteed USPW contracts and the trademarks to their gimmicks. Three days later, they had to take out a restraining order on Nemesis. [b]Where They Are Now[/b] Acid: A star in CGC and OLLIE Alex Braun: Returned to the Ace Freeze name as a manager to SWF's Dirty White Boys Art Reed: Also in SWF, as a tag team partner to mentor Sam Keith Big Cat Brandon: Awaiting a big push in TCW under his real name, James Brandon Carl Batch: Head booker of NYCW Cat Jemson: Followed boyfriend Kurt Laramee to USPW Chris Caulfield: This one waits for a later update Dallas McWade: NOTBPW tag team wrestler alongside his twin brother Dean McWade: NOTBPW tag team wrestler alongside his twin brother Eddie Peak: This one waits for a later update Emma Chase: On hiatus from wrestling as she attempts to pursue an acting career Eric Tyler: Welcomed back into CGC with open arms, he plans to finish out his career in Canada Guide: One of USPW's biggest stars Hector Galindo: Never signed with DAVE, now wrestling in OLLIE Hell's Bouncer: Hasn't been picked up by another major promotion since DAVE closed Jack Giedroyc: Rising NOTBPW midcarder with tag team partner and cousin Joey Poison JD Morgan: Returned to England to finish out his career with 21CW Jesus Chavez: Never signed with DAVE, making a name for himself in WLW as Latin King Joey Minnesota: One of the biggest unsigned talents in the world Johnny Martin: This one waits for a later update Kurt Laramee: Main Eventer for USPW Mitch Naess: This one waits for a later update Nathan Coleman: Never signed with DAVE Nemesis: This one waits for a later update Phil Vibert: Gone but not forgotten R.M. Stones: Unemployed Rudy Velasquez: Never signed with DAVE, now wrestlers for OLLIE Ryan Holland: This one waits for a later update Sammy Bach: A lower card TCW wrestler, still teaming with Teddy Powell Scout: One of USPW's biggest stars Shawn Gonzalez: This one waits for a later update Tank Bradley: Stopped being the worst guy on his promotion's roster by signing with WEXXV Teddy Powell: A lower card TCW wrestler, still teaming with Sammy Bach The Wolverine: Retired from wrestling Travis Century: In TCW, lesser third of a three man group with BLZ Bubb and Vengeance Vin Tanner: This one waits for a later update

If this were to be in December 2005, Sam Strong wouldn't be owning USPW right? He would still be in TCW as a Roadie no?

[QUOTE=Midnightnick;256085]If this were to be in December 2005, Sam Strong wouldn't be owning USPW right? He would still be in TCW as a Roadie no?[/QUOTE] The mod itself takes place in 2007, so there's enough time for a decent amount of change to occur. Strong could have taken the reigns of USPW at any time in 2006, really, as it's not made that clear in his bio just what time of the year he became owner. EDIT: Okay, so he was supposed to have taken hold of the company in August 2006, which is a little later than I thought. But we'll say that with how tumultuous the industry was, Strong took up Jillefski's offer a little bit earlier. As a DC editor once put it in the letter column to a Superman comic, "We've got three excuses for every mistake you think you find!" :D

By this evening I should have something up to explain what's happened to SWF. Things aren't as bleak as they were for DAVE, of course, but neither is it the SWF you know.

[shamelessposer]

[b]SUPREME WRESTLING FEDERATION[/b] ================ Size: National Money: $40M Style: Since coming under new ownership, SWF has toned down the more vulgar content sometimes seen in storylines and also introduced a women's division. At one time the largest promotion in the US, SWF has been slightly overtaken by rival SWF since the deaths of Richard and Eric Eisen. The heir to the Eisen legacy, Jerry Eisen, quickly became fed up with the running of the promotion and made headlines in February when he sold the company for a record sum to billionaire [b]J.K. Stallings Jr.[/b] Stallings was smart enough to trust the booking duties to industry veteran [b]Sam Keith[/b], who had also been head booker during the era of the Eisens, and so the promotion was able to gracefully make the transition when Stallings called for changes to the product. First among those changes was to done down some of the content in the audience, as Stallings felt the company could see greater success with a product the whole family was able to enjoy. Sean Martyn, better known as SWF wrestler [b]Skull DeBones[/b], saw the damage this new policy could do to his character and left the company only three weeks after Stallings purchased it. The continuation of the Skull DeBones character after Martyn had left was a way of showing the locker room that many of his fears weren't justified, but T&A fans were distraught when they saw that Jessie Gilmore wasn't wearing as many low-cut tops anymore. While on the subject of the women of SWF, perhaps the biggest change to the company at the beginning of the Stallings era was the addition of a [b]Women's Division[/b] to SWF. Four stars of women's wrestling, each from different countries, were signed to form a backbone for the division: America's [b]Raven Nightfall[/b], Canada's [b]April Appleseed[/b], Japan's [b]Dragon Assassin[/b], and Russia's [b]Anna Ki[/b]. Another surprise entry was relative unknown [b]Paige Croft[/b], who became another star of the division under the tutelage of Sam Keith. If Stallings and Keith are willing to tough it out through the low ratings the women's division segments currently draw, SWF could someday be host to a source of talent untapped by most other mainstream promotions. [b]Departures[/b] Duane Fry: Released from his contract when Stallings wanted in on the announce booth; signed by USPW Jerry Eisen: Sold company to J.K. Stallings; left the business Joe Sexy: Left company over contract dispute; signed by TCW Jumbo Shrimp: Fired via courier after suffering a neck injury Runaway Train: On hiatus from the business to recover from nagging injuries Sean Martyn: Left company over creative differences; signed by TCW [b]The Roster[/b] Ace Freeze (AKA Alex Braun): Manager to The Dirty White Boys (Lead Belly & Grease Hogg) Akima Brave: Turned heel, now a member of the Samoan Mafia stable Ana Garcia: Manager to High Concept Andre Jones: Now has a decent-ish place in the roster as The Guru's lackey Anna Ki: A big star in the Women's Division April Appleseed: Another big star in the Women's Division Art Reed: Tag team partner to mentor Sam Keith Bali Solo (AKA Samoan Machine): A member of the Samoan Mafia stable Bart Biggz: Still tagging with Brett Big Smack Scott: Has inexplicably made it into the main event scene, but isn't expected to stay there long Brett Biggz: Still tagging with Bart Calamari Kid: The only original member of the Underwater Union still in the group, and now its de facto leader Carol Singer: Another Women's Division wrestler Chris Morrisette: Turned heel in 2006, and has been Christian Faith's main obstacle since then Christian Faith: Still in the main event Dawn The Cheerleader: Currently unused talent, but still under contract Dragon Assassin: The Guru's bodyguard and a member of the Women's Division Elmo Benson: Still tagging with Groucho Bling; now managed by Ana Garcia Enforcer Roberts: Benefiting from a boost in popularity after a summer feud with Christian Faith; now managed by Rich Money Enygma: Still in the main event, for some reason Flexor The Barbarian: Formerly Flex, he became a bizarre comedy character sometime in 2006 Grease Hogg: Still one half of The Dirty White Boys; now managed by Ace Freeze Groucho Bling: Still teaming with Elmo Benson; now managed by Ana Garcia Inky The Squid Boy: A member of the Calamari Kid-led Underwater Union Jack Bruce: Currently being groomed for a World Heavyweight title run Jessie: Still managing the Biggz Boyz Jim Force: Returned to the company in 2006; still strong with THE FOOOOOOORCE June Butler: Another member of the Women's Division Kid Toma: A member of the Samoan Mafia Lead Belly: One half of The Dirty White Boys; now managed by Ace Freeze Marc DuBois: In a nice midcard position on the roster, but likely to shoot up the card in the coming year Paige Croft: A surprising addition to the Women's Division, even able to have matches with the veterans without seeming out of place Randy Bumfhole: Still teaming with Zimmy Raven Nightfall: The first SWF Women's Champion and lynchpin of the division Remo: Steve Frehley's main obstacle in the last year; undefeated against Christian Faith Rhino Umaga: A member of the Samoan Mafia Rich Money: Remo's and Enforcer Roberts' occasional tag team partner and occasional manager, of course no slouch in the ring himself Rick Law: Jumped to SWF for new opportunities in the depleted main event Robbie Retro: A midcard comedy character Sam Keith: Teaming with protege Art Reed Silver Shark: A member of Calamari Kid's Underwater Union Skull DeBones: Actually indy scene standout John Greed, has compensated for his small size by turning the character into a fire and brimstone preacher-like figure Spanish Starfish (AKA Pecs, Mikel Alonso): A member of Calamari Kid's Underwater Union Squeeky McClean: Still not able to break into the main event, but has high hopes for 2007 Stephanie Wade: Member of the Women's Division Steve Frehley: Still in the main event, but hasn't had a single title shot in the last year The Guru: Manager to Dragon Assassin and Andre Jones Tom Gilmore (AKA Angry Gilmore): Turned face after Joe Sexy's departure and has continued to impress Zimmy Bumfhole: Still tagging with Randy Zoe Ammis (AKA Agent 69): A member of the Women's Division

[PeterHilton]

Very cool. sebsplex has done a couple alt renders for Skull DeBones that would probably work perfectly for this scenario. One is a traditional DeBones costumed render with a slightly upadted look, and the other is the same character complately unmasked... could work for Greed as DeBones and Sean Martyn. Might want to drop him a PM. Or just search for sebplex on photobucket and see if they work for you, then PM him if they do.

[b]TOTAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING[/b] ================ Size: National Money: $15M Style: TCW restarted the cruiserweight division that had been discontinued in 2005, and has since begun to introduce more international stars to their shows. This has only been helped by an ongoing talent exchange with BHOTWG. Owner: Jennifer Cornell Head Booker: Joel Bryant After Tommy Cornell's death in December of 2005, his wife Jennifer and son Tommy Junior were left with the keys to the TCW kingdom. Rather than selling out and leaving the business as Jerry Eisen had done, [b]Jennifer Cornell[/b] proved to be the rock around which the locker room gathered in the weeks following Tommy Cornell's death. It was [b]Joel Bryant[/b], friend of the Cornell family (and eventual head booker of TCW), who convinced Jennifer to stay on as owner of the company. The decision proved to be a smart one, as it turns out Jennifer has a knack for getting things done. A deal that Tommy had been working on to start a working agreement with BHOTWG was finally reached by Jennifer who, for an undisclosed sum of money and the contracts of Charlie Thatcher and Wolf Hawkins, was able to acquire rising star [b]Sensational Dragon[/b] and puroresu legend [b]Hooded Kudo[/b]. Those signings were shortly followed by Sean Martyn (formerly Skull DeBones of SWF fame) joining TCW under the name of [b]Vengeance[/b]. Other big names included Martyn's fellow SWF defectors [b]Texas Pete[/b] and [b]Freddie Datsun[/b], former TCW Cruiserweight champion [b]Fumihiro Ota[/b], DAVE stars [b]Travis Century[/b], [b]Sammy Bach[/b], [b]Teddy Powell[/b], [b]James "Big Cat" Brandon[/b] and [b]Eddie Peak[/b], Japanese indy sensation [b]The Great Hisato[/b], Mexican legend [b]Pablo Rodriguez[/b], and international star [b]Dark Angel[/b]. While the return of the TCW cruiserweight division was appreciated by many fans, a lot of the old timers found themselves being phased out of their positions on the card to make room for younger stars. By the end of 2006 [b]The Lords of War[/b], [b]The Demons of Rage[/b], [b]The Darkness Warriors[/b], [b]Paul Steadyfast[/b] and [b]Ronnie V. Pain[/b] all found that their contracts had not been renewed. [b]Madman Boone[/b] asked for a release so he could take care of nagging injuries but ended up joining another promotion, Northwest Championship Wrestling, as soon as his no-compete clause was over. Taking their places on the roster were young men like [b]Panda Mask[/b] and [b]American Elemental[/b]. [b]THE ROSTER[/b] Aaron Andrews: Young and inexperienced, but he has a lot of raw talent American Buffalo: Currently managed by Floyd Goldworthy, who brought Buffalo in to protect him from Painful Procedure after betraying them in 2006 American Elemental: Tipped to be the breakout star of the cruiserweights by 2008 Billy Jack Shearer: One half of Painful Procedure; managed by Blonde Bombshell Blonde Bombshell: Now managing Painful Procedure BLZ Bubb: One third of The Dark Brotherhood; his tag team with Vengeance is so far undefeated Chance Fortune: Currently being lost in the shuffle as new cruiserweights are introduced to the roster Dark Angel: Immediately inserted himself into the International title scene, but has yet to win the belt Eddie Peak: A particularly bloody feud with Genghis Rahn pushed the boundaries of what was allowed on GNN Sports Edward Cornell: Cousin of Tommy Cornell and a rising star in the company Floyd Goldworthy: Using American Buffalo as a human shield Freddie Datsun: Miraculously took the belt off of BLZ Bubb, but dropped out of the main event only a few months later Freddy Huggins: His "wannabe" act earns him more heel heat than his position on the card would suggest Fumihiro Ota: Won the Cruiserweight belt a sixth time, and is the current holder coming into 2007 Genghis Rahn: Had an unexpected face turn in 2006 and a blood feud with Eddie Peak Giant Tana: As boring as usual, but inexplicably sells t-shirts Harry Allen: Still teaming with Steve Gumble Hooded Kudo: A huge star for TCW, even though he doesn't speak a word of English Ice Man C.A.: TCW's designated jobber James Brandon: Management has big plans for Brandon, and there are even rumors that he and a partner will end The Dark Brotherhood's tag title reign Joel Bryant: Refuses to use his head booker status to get ahead in the company, and seems content to put over the new generation Liberty: Hasn't been the victor in a feud for nine months, but still over with the fans Pablo Rodriguez: A dark horse candidate for World Heavyweight champion by the end of 2007 Panda Mask: Struggling to get over with his current gimmick, and TCW won't let him take off the mask Playboy Jake Sawyer: Manager to The Machines Randall Hopkirk: One half of Painful Procedure Ricky Dale Johnson: The "go-to guy" for the promotion and perennial star Robert Oxford: Still one half of The Tag Team Specialists with Joel Bryant Rocky Golden: Had a short International title reign in 2006 Sammy Bach: One half of Adrenaline Rush, undercard tag team Sensational Dragon: His ego is beginning to get in the way of his opportunities for advancement Steve Gumble: Still teaming with Harry Allen Stevie Grayson: Popular rag doll for the heavyweights, and fills that role well Teddy Powell: One half of Adrenaline Rush, undercard tag team Texas Pete: Has yet to make a real impact since defecting The Great Hisato: If management had more faith in him he could be a fantastic midcard threat Travis Century: One third of The Dark Brotherhood Troy Tornado: Broke into the main event by betraying Painful Procedure Vengeance: In an undefeated tag team with BLZ Bubb; one third of The Dark Brotherhood Wrestling Machine #1: One half of The Machines; managed by Playboy Jake Sawyer Wrestling Machine #2: One half of The Machines; managed by Playboy Jake Sawyer

As good as TCW seems in talent terms, I think I'll be able to settle into SWF easier. Maybe even enough for a Diary. Brilliant job so far SP. Can't wait to see how the rest of the Cornellverse has changed.

[QUOTE=Midnightnick;256940]As good as TCW seems in talent terms, I think I'll be able to settle into SWF easier. Maybe even enough for a Diary. Brilliant job so far SP. Can't wait to see how the rest of the Cornellverse has changed.[/QUOTE] It's interesting, really, the way that the two promotions diverged so much without me even thinking about it consciously. I wanted each of the "big two" to have an interesting draw they lack in the default database (a women's division for SWF and a cruiserweight division for TCW), but each promotion has its own weird challenges. TCW has a fantastic roster of workers who aren't that over, while SWF has a bunch of over people who don't belong in their positions on the card (like freaking Big Smack Scott). And thanks a lot for commenting, guys. Seeing that there are people who will play this thing when it's finished really helps with seeing it through to the end.

[b]NORTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING[/b] ================ Size: Regional Money: $1.5M Style: NCW is the spiritual successor to DAVE, and it's obvious that the management learned a lot of lessons from their time there. The style is more conventional and the matches aren't as dangerous, but the promotion is still one of the most hardcore in the nation. Owner: Mitch Naess Head Booker: Nemesis [b]Mitch Naess[/b], [b]Nemesis[/b] and [b]Chris Caulfield[/b] were not content to allow their dreams to die along with DAVE. While the names of each of the three men were dirty words to creditors all along the Eastern Seaboard, the three still had enough money to make a fresh start somewhere else. That "somewhere else" was a very minor Oregonian promotion known as Northwest Championship Wrestling. The three bought out the promotion in cash, and immediately began their own revamp. They used their connections to secure [i]written[/i] contracts with some of their stars, something normally unheard of for a promotion of such a small size, and with men like DAVE loyalist [b]Vin Tanner[/b] and departing TCW star [b]Madman Boone[/b] headlining their shows and [b]"Extreme Commissioner" Johnny Martin[/b] playing a fan favorite authority figure, the company went being from unheard of in 2005 to being a regional powerhouse by the end of 2006. With names like Madman Boone and Vin Tanner on the roster it's easy to get the idea that NCW is just a west coast USPW with more chair shots, but it's also a promotion of second chances. [b]Jay Darkness[/b] was able to reinvent himself as fan favorite and brooding loner Jason Black, and the man best known as [b]Jumbo Shrimp[/b] returned to his old name of Jumbo Jackson, and surprisingly became one of the most charismatic men on the independent scene. [b]Jack Griffith[/b], all but blackballed from the industry a few years ago, has also joined the NCW family on the condition he stay sober. There are also plenty of fresh young stars, with Canadian names like [b]Slim V[/b], [b]K-Squared[/b], [b]Air Attack Weasel[/b] and [b]Raphael[/b] and Californian favorites [b]Frankie Perez[/b], [b]Remmy Skye[/b] and [b]Valiant[/b]. Combining a roster of legends and legends-to-be with a television deal spanning the entire west coast, NCW could be a big player in the very near future. [b]THE ROSTER[/b] Air Attack Weasel: The crowd absolutely despises this guy, and he loves every minute of it Beach Babe Bunnie: Maybe the most useless member of the roster, but Remmy Skye wouldn't be a part of NCW without her Billy Wood (AKA Alysian Scottsfield): Reformed The Wood Brothers with Larry Wood Chris Caulfield: Spent most of 2006 putting over the younger members of the roster E.Z. Ryder (AKA Wiley Steinway): Given a shot on the undercard, with the intention of putting over younger wrestlers and teaching them the basics Frankie Perez: One of the most exciting young talents in the world today Jack Griffith: Splits his time between USPW and NCW, and doing a fine job of getting his life back together Jason Black: Has successfully reinvented himself after being jobbed and buried all the way out of TCW Joey Minnesota: Playing more or less the same character he did in DAVE, but that's not a bad thing Johnny Martin: "The Extreme Commissioner," he's beloved by the NCW fans Jumbo Jackson: He divides his time between mowing down jobbers and ranting about SWF Kimitada Yanagita: Recommended by Larry Wood, he could make a decent name for himself as a no-nonsense brawler K-Squared: One half of "Youth Impact" with Remmy Skye, maybe the hottest young tag team on the west coast Larry Wood: Reformed The Wood Brothers with Alysian Scottsfield Madman Boone: A little of a latecomer to NCW, due to a no-compete clause with TCW Primal Rage: Being built up as a monster at the moment, but his age could keep him from advancing much further Queen Emily: Sometimes-manager to Primal Rage, sometimes-commentator, fans are just glad to see her back in the business Raphael: Plays a stereotypical ****y heel, but does it well enough Remmy Skye: One half of "Youth Impact" with K-Squared, and doing his best to justify both his paycheck and that of Beach Babe Bunnie Slim V: Came down from Canada to be a part of the original roster Valiant: While the NCW fans would normally tear apart anyone in the "smiling babyface" role, Valiant somehow pulls it off and earns their admiration Vin Tanner: Tanner was brought in so he could job to the new generation, and he does it with few complaints

I'm still putting work into this mod, so don't think it's dead. Updates stopped because I've already covered most of the US promotions people would want to play anyway, but in the next couple days I'll probably do a few "big picture" updates to give you guys an idea what you're in for.

[shamelessposer]

Tonight I'll fill you guys in on a few more changes to the game world, the first being what's being referred to as the [b]Eastern Wrestling Alliance[/b]. [b]The Stomper[/b], [b]Rip Chord[/b] and [b]Sam Strong[/b] all saw the value in trading talent across their three promotions (NYCW, MAW and USPW, respectively), but it's Strong's USPW that benefits the most from the arrangement by using the other two companies as glorified development territories. In Puerto Rico, another wrestling legend has created a new promotion. [b]Lee Wright[/b], having made his name as a star in the Japanese garbage promotions, has decided to open up a similar company in Puerto Rico called [b]Vampire Zone Fighting[/b]. The roster ranges from the old and broken down (hi, [b]Raul Darkness[/b]!) to the hot newcomers (like [b]Hector Galindo [/b]& [b]Rudy Velasquez[/b]). VZF is also host to the [b]San Juan Tag Team Invitational[/b], and it's hoped that the tournament will bring more recognition to the company in coming years. [b]Shawn Gonzalez[/b] new promotion [b]Pro Wrestling Max[/b] in May 2006, but by the end of the year was forced to sell majority control to British wrestler [b]Razor Valentine[/b]. Less than a year after being founded, PWMAX has overtaken CZCW as biggest promotion in California by bringing in a lot of wrestlers who were previously unknown to the region and even a few CZCW stars. But quick expansion comes at a price, and even though CZCW is the smaller of the two promotions it still has the largest bank account. PWMAX, CZCW and Oregon's NCW have maintained an uneasy peace in 2006, but with two big new players to the scene in less than a year there could be a West Coast War on the horizon.

[mynameispaul]

wow. this is a very interesting concept. what a shake-up of the status quo. i am REALLY looking forward to seeing this come out. very good stuff.
