[CENTER][B][IMG]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6215/newru4.jpg[/IMG][/B][CENTER][B]The New England Venture: A Commentator’s Tale of the Indies[/B][/CENTER] [B] It was a normal day just like any other since Randy Orton“accidentally” broke my leg in the biggest match of my career. Shortly after my wife comes home and tells me that I’ve got mail from some “Bruce Pritchard”. (I mean, I knew who he was, but my wife didn’t.) So, a couple hours later I finally decided to open the letter (which had been sitting on my desk since I got it) and it says: [/B][quote][INDENT][INDENT][B]“Dear Mr. Magnum, I would like to personally invite you to the next New England Wrestling show, we would like to see if you can work as our color commentator as Jeremy Borash has been having trouble calling matches by himself and we think that you could also bring in some new fans because of your NWA career. Enclosed is a plane ticket to the city of our next show, we look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Bruce Pritchard”[/B][/quote][INDENT][B]I jumped at the opportunity to be near a wrestling ring again, so I hopped on that flight and made it to the show.[/B][/INDENT][B] Part 2: Coming Soon (OOC: I'm using tommytomlin's awesome After The Fall mod)[/B][/INDENT][/INDENT][/CENTER]

[CENTER][B]Part 2:[/B][/CENTER] [B][INDENT]Soon after I got to the show, I noticed two things: 1, They only had one road agent, and 2, there were no real locker room leaders so to speak. Then I was shown the card for that night, I looked at it and I wondered how they were winning this war with ESW. I told Bruce and Tom some ideas for the show; they realized that I had a good mind for wrestling so they gave me a test run for the night and here was my show: [/INDENT] [QUOTE]GQ def. Caprice Coleman Adam and Ace def. CrossFire Trinity def. Jillian Hall Matt Striker def. Elix Skipper[/QUOTE] [INDENT]Thoughts on the show: many people said it was a thoroughly entertaining show and Bruce and Tom decided to give the job full time plus, they also thought that I helped Borash a lot with my commentary.[/INDENT] [CENTER]So began The New England Venture.[/CENTER][/B]

[B][CENTER]Tuesday, Week 1, 2005[/CENTER] Soon after looking over the roster, Bruce told me to come to his office. Me: "You wanted to see me sir?" Bruce: "Yes, I called you in to tell you about the goals I have set for you. Me: "Ok, what are they?" Bruce: "1. This promotion must be more prestigious by about 223 days from now. 2. You can't hire know heavy drinkers. 3. You can't hire drug users." Me: "None of those should be a problem." Bruce: "Good, now go back to your office, you must prepare for the next show." Me: "Three days, right?" Bruce: "Correct." After that I took my leave, to prepare for my first official show. [CENTER]Shortly after getting back to my office I noticed a new paper listing the belts and the champions[/CENTER] [CENTER][QUOTE]NEW East Coast Heavyweight [IMG]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8361/neweastcoastheavyweightxo3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8242/adampearcejg5.jpg[/IMG] NEW East Coast Tag Team [IMG]http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2622/neweastcoasttagteamcv0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8242/adampearcejg5.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8403/acedarlingzy8.jpg[/IMG] NEW No Limits [IMG]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2141/newnolimitspp2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/6774/peteywilliamsqx6.jpg[/IMG] NEW Women's [IMG]http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5936/apwinternetaw6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/61/preciouslucyrm0.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER][/QUOTE][/B] [B](OOC: Just like the roster this post will be updated instead of me posting a new list every 2 or 3 game months)[/B]

[B][CENTER]Wednesday, Week 1, 2005[/CENTER][/B] [CENTER][IMG]http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7407/internetvy3.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Wrestling Observer's New Daily Show Review By, WhatThePfargtl? CMLL Una Noche Salvaje: This was a very good showing from CMLL, as I was thoroughly entertained throughout the show the only thing that I didn't understand was, while entertaining that they made Villano III lose the World Junior title to Aguila in his first defense. I also think that Mistico stole the show once again tonight. Rating: B LOW Exile Tour (Tuesday): Yet another great attempt by Legends of Wrestling, but it still doesn't have the same flair (not Ric) that it had in the beginning. The show stealer tonight was, amazingly: Grandmaster Sexay vs Romeo Roselli. Rating: C EVAD!!!!: I'm not touching this one, as Woyah might kill me in my sleep. But I will still give my overall rating. Rating: D- (please don't kill me I'm just a lonely blog writer)[/B]

Petey: “Remember Striker, the moment you step into the ring with me I’m gonna tear you apart limb from limb.
