[B][CENTER]AW Rush Hour results – taken from AW Message Board[/CENTER][/B] Back at The Asylum tonight in the Great Lakes. Crowd looks to be about [B]537[/B] or so. Just about the same size as last time. Marv Earnest and Angela Morgan come to the ring to welcome the fans to the show and plug the matches for tonight. [B][SIZE="3"]D-[/SIZE][/B] [I]The crowd was just as hyped for us as they were last month.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Robbie Clavey[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Blue"][B]Edward Cornell[/B][/COLOR] in 6:34 by pinfall with a Backdrop Driver [B][SIZE="3"]C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid opening match for us tonight. I was happy myself and Edward were able to work well together again.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Casey Valentine[/COLOR][/B] comes to the ring for his match and cuts a promo on Hugh de Aske. Casey says he’s going to beat Hugh tonight and then go on to Afflicted Glory to become the Midwest Champion for a second time. [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Some solid promo work here for Casey. I was extremely pleased. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Hugh de Aske[/COLOR][/B] defeated[COLOR="Red"][B] Casey Valentine[/B][/COLOR] in 14:39 by pinfall with a Skull And Cross Bones [B][SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]This could have been a lot better but Casey is still having a tough time working through his injury. I hope he heals up soon.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Jacob Jett[/COLOR][/B] comes out for his match and cuts a promo on JD Morgan. [B][SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]Not bad for Jett here. Katie Cameron added something nice too.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]JD Morgan[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Blue"][B]Jacob Jett[/B][/COLOR] in 19:24 by submission [B]after blatantly cheating [SIZE="3"]C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid main event here that should help the show rating. JD and Jacob worked well enough together to put on a good show for the fans. Katie also helped the match at ringside.[/I] [B][CENTER][SIZE="3"] Overall Rating: C-[/SIZE][/CENTER][/B] [I]A solid show in the Great Lakes for us. If we keep putting shows like this together we should have no problem starting to increase our popularity here and gaining more of a crowd.[/I]

[B][CENTER][SIZE="3"] Live from the War Memorial Auditorium in the Midwest Region – Attendance: 1756[/SIZE][/CENTER][/B] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Pre-Show[/SIZE][/U][/B] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Kendrick Kade[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Raphael[/B][/COLOR] and [COLOR="Red"][B]Remmy Honeyman[/B][/COLOR] in 2:51 when Kendrick Kade defeated Raphael by pinfall with a Discovery Driver. [B]Kendrick Kade makes defense number 3 of his AW LiveWire Championship [SIZE="3"]D[/SIZE][/B] [I]This was definitely better than I expected it to be. Some solid opening work out of these three. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Tyler Chance[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Rob Reynolds[/B][/COLOR] in 5:26 by pinfall with a Half and Half Suplex[B][SIZE="3"] C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Another good match as I give the youngster some ring time with one of our better workers to give him the opportunity to learn. [/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Aaron Andrews[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Blue"][B]Amazing Fire Fly[/B][/COLOR] in 5:54 by pinfall with an Omega Driver [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Another solid pre-show match here to give another one of our aspiring talents some ring time with a talented worker. Fire fly seems to be getting better at his mat wrestling.[/I] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Main Show[/SIZE][/U][/B] Marv Earnest and Angela Morgan come to the ring and welcome the fans to Afflicted Glory. They run down the card for the night and focus on the main event of Hugh de Aske challenging Ryan Powell for the Heavyweight Title. [SIZE="3"][B]C-[/B][/SIZE] [I]There seems to be some excitement in the air.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Edward Cornell [/COLOR][/B]defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Jared Johnson[/B][/COLOR] in 4:56 by pinfall [SIZE="3"][B]D+[/B][/SIZE] [I]An acceptable main show opener here. Edward gets the victory to help him gain some credibility.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Casey Valentine[/COLOR][/B] comes to the ring before his match and gets on the stick. [B]“You know I’ve been a lot of places in this business and worked for a lot of companies. That means I’ve met a lot of low lives. But no one compares to KC Glenn. He stole that belt from me at the Road to Glory. But I’m just going to win it back from him because I know that being a champion in this business means more bookings. And more bookings means more money.” [SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]Not quite as good of a response as his promo work in the Great Lakes as he’s not as popular here, but still solid time from the youngster.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]KC Glenn[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Casey Valentine[/B][/COLOR] in 8:42 [B]by disqualification. KC Glenn makes defense number 2 of his AW Midwest Championship [SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]The match ended when Casey went berserk after KC kicked out of his finisher. Casey went on the attack and began laying closed fists into the head of the champion and refused to stop forcing referee Bret Graveson call for the bell. Solid work by these two.[/I] Backstage, [COLOR="Red"][B]Aaron Andrews[/B][/COLOR] and [COLOR="Blue"][B]Hugh de Aske[/B][/COLOR] bump into one another. Aaron yells at Hugh to watch where he’s going and calls him a couple of names. Aaron goes on a tirade about how pirates are insignificant and worthless because all they do is steal while Aaron is strait edge. Hugh then cuts in and gets a few of his own jabs in on Aaron before they part ways before any contact is made. [B][SIZE="3"] C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]Good work by these two to help set the base for another possible program. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Jacob Jett[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Cameron Vessey[/B][/COLOR] in 12:32 by pinfall with a Jett Take Off [B][SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]Not nearly as good as I thought they could have done but okay. Katie Cameron seemed to help out at ringside. Also, each man helped the other as Cameron seemed to be getting better with flying and Jacob was getting better at brawling.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"] Trent Shaffer[/COLOR][/B] stands backstage in front of our logo banner and cuts a promo. [B]“You know Ryan you were pretty despicable knocking me in the head with brass knuckles and then applying a submission hold while the referee was down. Do you think you’re the first person to cheat like that? Newsflash: there’s hundreds if not thousands of scumbags like that in this business. I will get my rematch. And I will come out with my belt back around my waist.” [SIZE="3"]C+[/SIZE][/B] [I]Solid promo work as always from Trent.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Tyler Chance and Trent Shaffer[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Aaron Andrews and JD Morgan[/B][/COLOR] in 16:47 when Trent Shaffer defeated JD Morgan by pinfall with a Heart Burn [B][SIZE="3"]B-[/SIZE][/B] [I]Some solid story telling done inside the ring during this match. There were many near falls that the crowd got into. Trent Shaffer appears to be getting better at his forearms and strikes. Trent gets the pin here to give him some momentum in his program with Ryan Powell.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"] Ryan Powell [/COLOR][/B]stands backstage with the AW Heavyweight Championship slung over his shoulder. [B]“So many idiots are in this business and last month I beat one of them for the belt that hangs over my shoulder. Trent, I did what was necessary to win this belt. I never thought I was being an innovator by the way I won. That’s where you just don’t understand. In this business you do what ever it takes to win. If that means ripping someone off or cheating in some fashion then so be it. It’s just how it goes. If you don’t jump on the train then everyone is going to leave you behind. It’s just a fact. Don’t count on taking this belt from me whenever you get that rematch. I think I look good ten pounds heavier.” [SIZE="3"]C+[/SIZE][/B] [I]Good promo work by the new champion here.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"] Ryan Powell[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Blue"][B]Hugh de Aske[/B][/COLOR] in 13:57 by pinfall. [B]Ryan Powell makes defense number 1 of his AW Heavyweight Championship [SIZE="3"]C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A little bit of a lackluster cap to the evening but still not bad. These two had some communication issues but still did a fine job.[/I] As [COLOR="Blue"][B]Hugh de Aske[/B][/COLOR] gets to his feet in the ring and the crowd applauds him, [COLOR="Red"][B]Aaron Andrews [/B][/COLOR]rushes from the back and blindsides him. In a split second Andrews lays Hugh out with his sick belly to back piledriver he calls the Omega Driver and stands over top of him. [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Some solid heat during this segment as Andrews attacks the youngster. [/I] [B][CENTER][SIZE="3"]Overall Rating: C[/SIZE][/CENTER][/B] [I]Better than the last few shows. Attendance was lower than normal, which kind of caught me off guard but really didn’t. I was half expecting attendance to drop with the poor state of the industry and economy and it finally did. Still, we should be able to come out ahead for the month.[/I]

We only had a couple of things to deal with in February. We extended our dependable jobber Valentine and our dependable midcarder Mark Smart. Other than that we had a relatively quiet month aside from running two shows. So here are my notes from the month in the other parts of the industry.

Marv and Ota came over to my apartment for our monthly creative meeting. As we settled in I covered the industry and economy like I always did. Both were still very weak. The economy was still on the rise. This month it looked like the industry was going to make the turn around before it hit rock bottom. So that was good news following our recent drop in attendance. Next I went on to the news that we had lost a lot of money on the attendance drop. We only made a little less than 7k this month. That meant we’d have to stop running the extra show in the Great Lakes region until I knew for sure we would hit the money goal. I felt bad about that because the fans there had been awesome so far and I hoped they’d come back as soon as we could come back. Ota and Marv briefly tried to sway my decision, but I knew it was best. Next we began talks about our March event, Ground Zero. I first told them I had someone I had just brought in and really wanted to debut him here. I also had a new comer to the industry that I would be bringing in. We had some solid heat to go off of with the program we started with Aaron Andrews and Hugh de Aske and our Heavyweight Title program. So we decided on something for them and then went to talk about how we could fill the card out. After about four hours of deliberation we came up with something we were all happy on and I started making the flier.

[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Lenny Brown[/COLOR][/B] defeated[COLOR="Red"][B] Raphael[/B][/COLOR] in 3:48 by pinfall with [B]The Star Treatment [SIZE="3"]D-[/SIZE][/B] [I]The debut of a youngster I just hired in Lenny Brown. For being young he’s got good all-around skills and should develop into something. This match also didn’t meet the crowd’s level of hype and they seemed to drop in morale again.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"] The Canadian Blondes[/COLOR][/B] defeated [B][COLOR="Blue"]Erik Strong[/COLOR][/B] and [COLOR="Red"][B]Nomad[/B][/COLOR] in 5:31 when Flash Savage defeated Erik Strong by submission with a Canadian Crab [B][SIZE="3"]D-[/SIZE][/B] [I]The crowd was okay with the match but it still wasn’t anything spectacular. Flash Savage seemed to be a little off tonight.[/I] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Main Show[/SIZE][/U][/B] To kick off the show [B][COLOR="Red"]Aaron Andrews and the AW Heavyweight Champion Ryan Powell[/COLOR][/B] make their way to the ring to the boos of the crowd. They enter the ring and Powell asks for a microphone. He receives it and waits for the boos to die down. [COLOR="Red"][B]“I have some bad news for you people. Your beloved hero Trent Shaffer is not here tonight. That punk is at home faking an injury so he doesn’t have to face myself and Aaron here tonight. That is who you people worship.”[/B][/COLOR] He hands the stick off to Aaron. [B][COLOR="Red"]“So it looks like that little pirate wannabe Hugh de Aske is going to have to face us in a handicapped match tonight. I hope you’re ready for a beating boy.”[/COLOR][/B] Suddenly Jacob Jett’s music hits to the delight of the crowd. He and Hugh de Aske come from behind the curtain and stand at the top of the entrance way; Jacob has a microphone. [COLOR="Blue"][B]“Well I wasn’t doing anything tonight so I figured I could take Trent’s place in that Tag Team match. Hugh doesn’t mind and I’m sure that all of these people don’t mind either. So what do you say?” [/B][/COLOR] Aaron and Ryan agree to let Jett into the match stating that they’ll kick anybody’s butts. [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid opening segment. Trent is legit hurt for right now. But he should be back before our next show. Aaron seems to be getting better with his acting skills and Ryan is improving in his overall performance. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Amazing Fire Fly[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Mark Smart[/B][/COLOR] in 4:09 by pinfall with a Sky High Fire Fly [B][SIZE="3"]D[/SIZE][/B] [I]Not horrible here.

Nice little win for Fire Fly.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Edward Cornell[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Robbie Clavey[/B][/COLOR] in 7:31 by submission [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Solid match here as Edward Cornell gets the victory to help keep him a threat in the lower ranks. I like working with him.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Casey Valentine[/COLOR][/B] stands backstage and tells us that he is confident he will defeat all four of his opponents and walk out as the AW Midwest Champion again. [B][SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]The crowd is starting to react to Casey now. I’m glad he’s building some credibility for himself.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]KC Glenn[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Red"][B]Casey Valentine[/B][/COLOR], [B][COLOR="Red"]Kashmir Singh[/COLOR][/B] and [B][COLOR="Blue"]Thomas Morgan[/COLOR][/B] in 8:31; the order of elimination was Kashmir Singh first, then Casey Valentine, and finally Thomas Morgan. [B]KC Glenn makes defense number 3 of his AW Midwest Championship [SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid match here for our midcard. I was happy with the result.[/I] After the match, Casey Valentine rushes in and lays out both Thomas Morgan and KC Glenn. He hits both men with sick DDTs before standing over the fallen men and playing to the crowd. They boo him as he lays a few more boots to them and leaves the ring. [B][SIZE="3"]D-[/SIZE][/B] [I]The crowd was kind of quiet for this, but I’m not worried. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Tyler Chance[/COLOR][/B] comes to the ring for his match against a mystery opponent and waits. Finally some new music hits and the lights go out as some tribal sounds are heard. Finally after a few seconds of pulsing lights and music [B]KID TOMA[/B] emerges from the back and begins making his way towards the ring. [B]Kid Toma has come to AW! [SIZE="3"]D+[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid response for Toma’s debut here. I’m really excited to have him here. [/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Kid Toma[/COLOR][/B] defeated [COLOR="Blue"][B]Tyler Chance[/B][/COLOR] in 16:50 by pinfall with a Long Range Headbutt [B][SIZE="3"]C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid match between these two and it could have been better if Tyler had been on. For the first time in his career I could tell he just wasn’t with it tonight.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"] Aaron Andrews[/COLOR][/B] stands backstage and cuts a promo on Hugh de Aske saying that he made a mistake recruiting Jacob Jett to be his partner. He should have just taken the beating he’s going to get like a man. Andrews says he hopes Hugh has insurance because he’s going to end up needing a stay in the hospital. [B][SIZE="3"] C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Solid promo from Aaron as always.[/I] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Hugh de Aske and Jacob Jett[/COLOR][/B] defeated [B][COLOR="Red"]Aaron Andrews and Ryan Powell[/COLOR][/B] in 20:32 when Hugh de Aske defeated Aaron Andrews by pinfall with a Cut-Throat Driver[B][SIZE="3"] B-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A fantastic main event that really had the crowd into it. The end of the match saw one of the most devastating Burning Hammer’s I have ever seen from Hugh to Aaron. Aaron sold it GREAT and had me believing he might really be injured. When he got to the back he assured me he wasn’t.[/I] [B][CENTER][SIZE="3"] Overall Show: C[/SIZE][/CENTER][/B] [I]A great main event helped to pick up the pieces left by a mediocre undercard. This show was better than we had been doing and attendance was back up. That was good news.[/I]

We had a somewhat busy month in March as we extended Edward Cornell, Raphael and Jared Johnson. We also signed Kid Toma and Lenny Brown to deals and debuted them. Aside from that we had nothing so here are the notes I had taken from other news in the industry. [B] Recent News[/B] Eva Berlin finally brought her career to an end JD Morgan and Des Davis have been having some problems lately [B] Signings and Departures[/B] Joey Sexy signed with OLLIE Nevada Nuclear signed with USPW Steel, Ox Kreviazuk and California Love Machine signed with SWF Chance Fortune signed with CGC Thomas Morgan left 4C, claiming they were not big enough for him. I’m scared he might be leaving us soon. Steven Parker left NYCW [B] Title Changes[/B] Jeremy and Dan Stone Jr. Won the Ed Henson Memorial Cup for the sixth time Nevada Nuclear made a big impact winning the SWF National Title Primus Allen claimed the USPW World Title from the departing T-Rex Gargantuan and Ernie Turner won the USPW Tag Team Titles

As always Marv and Ota came over during the first week of April for our monthly creative meeting. Ota kicked it off by bugging me to place him back on the active roster. I had had enough and finally gave in. I’d place him back on the active roster but he’d still be acting as road agent. Next we discussed Thomas Morgan. I was afraid he was going to be leaving us soon and Ota felt his popularity made him deserving of a higher spot on the roster. So we all agreed to push him as an Upper Midcarder now. Next I spoke on the industry and economy. They were both at the same level as last month, fairly weak, but were on the rise. Our drop in attendance at Afflicted Glory was probably due to the turn around of the industry. Next I went on to report that with the sell out again we had made a little less than 16k. I was extremely happy with this because it put us at 765k overall. If we continued like this we would be at our goal of 803k in the next two or three months. Next we went on to talk about what we wanted to do for our April show, We’re No Joke. Trent Shaffer would be back in action so we’d be using him. I also talked about getting everyone in the ring this month. Some of our talent hadn’t been on shows in a whiel and I wanted to make sure they got some ring time. We talked for a few hours, all the way through dinner. Finally around 8 PM we had a plan and I went to work on the flier.

He states that that stupid little pirate isn’t here tonight after the beating he took last month. Aaron claims he’s scared of facing a former Heavyweight Champion one on one. But Aaron says it’s okay because everyone should be afraid of him. He claims nobody can beat him because nobody else in AW is strait edge.

[B][SIZE="3"] C-[/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid save angle here that really got a good pop for Trent coming in.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Trent Shaffer[/COLOR][/B] asked for the stick and went on a tirade about Ryan Powell.

But since he is just coming off of an injury he’s going to give Ryan one more month to savor his reign because Trent will get his rematch at Summer Scorcher in a match of his choosing. [B][SIZE="3"]C[/SIZE][/B] [I]Another great promo slot here. Trent was really intense and showed a lot of emotion. The crowd seemed to love it.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"][CENTER]Overall Show: C [/CENTER][/SIZE][/B] [I]A solid show here, but we really should be doing C+ or B- shows to continue our increase in popularity. We used EVERYONE tonight so I’m sure our profit will be lower than normal. But I think it was worth using everyone to get them some ring time.[/I]

April was a light month for us as we only brought on Josh Jones. So I spent most of the month on the internet looking for news and other things from around the industry. [B][U]Recent News[/U][/B] - 21CW finally fell to financial woes and closed their doors. It was sad to see them go but they fought for as long as they could.

Marv and Ota came over on a Thursday for our monthly creative meeting. Ota was happy he had gotten some in ring work at We’re No Joke and happy I had re-listed him as an active member of the roster. We started out as we normally do with my notes from the industry and economy. The industry was a little stronger than last month and still rising as was the economy. Next we began talking about notes from last show. We ended that conversation with my financial report. Even though we used every person on our roster for the April show we had still made a little over 10k and were now at 775k. We only had 25k to go on our goal and 8 months to do it in. I knew that wouldn’t be a problem. Next we began talking about our plans for May. We had a lot of places we could go with our programs. After a lot of deliberation over the matches for the show we came up with a card and I began piecing the flier together.

Andrews then hit a low blow on Trent and attempted to use a chair but Hugh de Aske came running to the ring and stopped him. Hugh then hit Aaron with the chair allowing Trent to hit the Heart Burn as the referee came to. [I]A solid match from these two that also saw some extra build up with Aaron and Hugh.[/I] [B][COLOR="Red"]Ryan Powell[/COLOR][/B] cut a promo on Trent Shaffer.

I’m not known for my topes. I’m known for my fighting. I’ve got news for you buddy. I don’t have to be all flippy to win a ladder match. All I have to do is beat your ass and then climb seven rungs to grab this belt. That is exactly what I’m going to do next month.

In the month of May we extended Rob Reynolds, Ryan Powell, Amazing Fire Fly, Nomad, Oscar Golden and Flash Savage. All of which were very easy to do. I also had sent out feelers to numerous TV networks over the country but they still weren’t giving us the time of day. With nothing else happening with us here are my notes from elsewhere around the industry. [B] Recent News[/B] - Anders “The Pride of Stockholm” Thunder debuted this month. He is looking for work in the US and Europe. He’s been tagged as a steroid user already and stinks inside the ring. - In some sad news, Sam “Calamari Kid” Pratt was forced to call it quits this month.

Marv and Ota came over to my apartment on the 5th of June for our monthly creative meeting. I started out as I always do by reporting the status of the economy and industry. Both were still the same from last month and still getting stronger. Next we moved on to our performance for the month of May. We came out with a profit of a little less than 19k. We were only 9k short of the money goal now. That meant once we hit it we could start running shows in the Great Lakes region again. I was hoping to have our popularity fairly high in another region if the industry and economy peaked so we might get a TV slot. Next we went on to talk about our plans for our June show, Summer Scorcher. We already had our main event ready. Next we just needed to fill out the rest of the card. We had a good show last month that we needed to live up to so compiling the card took a while. Around 8 P.M. we finally agreed on one and I went to work on the flier.

Marv and Ota came over around noon on the second of July for our monthly creative meeting. We started out by agreeing on some pizza for lunch and got that order in. Next I went on to my notes about the industry and economy. The economy was still on the rise but still very weak and at the same level as it was last month. The industry had gotten stronger since last month and was still gaining strength. Next Ota asked about our performance for the month, which I had been waiting for. I was happy to report to them that we had made almost 15k for the month with put our bank account up to $809,105. We had finally made our money goal set by Ota with six months to spare. This meant we could start running show in the Great Lakes again to try and get some popularity in a “foreign” area. As soon as I had broke that news I made a call and booked a show for two weeks from now. We all celebrated with a beer and then moved on to talking about the card for our July event, Something to Prove. We already had some solid plans going in and took a look at the guys we had available and came up with some stuff to fill out the card. At about 8 they left and I went to work on the flier.

Aside from running our Rush Hour show again we only had one contract to renew. Cameron Vessey hasn’t been used very much lately but I knew he was still valuable. He had also broke his ankle a week or two ago. He was only going to be out for a little over a month total so we went ahead and resigned him. TV networks were in their negotiations for new shows so I sent out some of our prior shows to a few networks in hopes we might get our first weekly TV show. Now these are the notes I have from around the industry. [B] Recent News[/B] - “The Suicide Kid” Maxwell Bleak entered the business across the pond. He relies on his insane acrobatics to get over and is extremely sloppy in other basic skills. - Jaguar Endo ended her career. She had no title reigns to her name and is 34. - Raul Hughes also retired. He made news when he walked out of BHOTWG to form INSPIRE. His claims to fame were a run as the Burning Hammer Champion, two reigns as the King of Fighters in INSPIRE and being ranked in the Pro Wrestling Hits magazine top 100 three separate times. - Annie Hitch**** really put over Kathy Neptune on the radio. - Jared Johnson and Thomas Morgan have been having problems backstage at our shows. I’m going to call them up and see if I can help amend the problems a little bit. - Our own Marv Earnest knows who to make friends with as he has been getting along with Stomper over in NYCW. - Nomad has been causing problems backstage in CGC as he and Skull DeBones have been sharing words. - SWF, GCG and PGHW all signed new PPV deals with Public Access Select, Emperor Choice and J-Remote 1 respectively.

Marv and Ota came over to my apartment on the first of the month for our monthly creative meeting. We started of by discussing my notes about the state of the industry and economy. Both were still on the rise. The economy seemed a bit stronger than last month and the industry was still the same. Interest in the industry was really getting up there as we had turned away nearly a thousand fans wishing to buy tickets. I brought up the idea of selling tickets online at the time the card was announced. They both liked the idea and we agreed to do it. I’d set a PayPal account up for us that night. Next I moved on to our performance for the month. We made a little less than 14k for the month even after holding an extra show. That really made our nights. We’d continue the extra show and maybe try to find a new day to hold it that didn’t conflict with bigger companies to try and maximize attendance and available talent. We moved on to discuss the August show. It was time to start getting things into motion for our biggest show of the year, Road to Glory. We spent a lot of time discussing where we wanted to head with our main event for 2013 and tossed around some possible names for the eight man tournament. That brought me to my new idea. I presented the idea of having a small yearly four man tournament for our young guys to compete in. Ota and Marv seemed to like the idea and we decided to go with it. It was a late night for us, getting done with our brainstorming at around 1 AM. I decided not to work on the PayPal account or the flier until the next morning. [B][CENTER][SIZE="3"] Live from the War Memorial Auditorium [/SIZE][/CENTER][/B] Adrenaline Wrestling will be debuting a new concept this month as four of our young talents will battle it out in the first annual Diamond in the Rough Tournament.

The four men taking part will be: Edward Cornell, Nomad, Jared Johnson and Kendrick Kade. One other participant for December’s tournament will be announced as well! Not only this but after the shocking events at the end of last month’s event, Tyler Chance has stated he will be at the show to address the situation.

You fans don’t pay for auto repairs when my car breaks down. You don’t pay for my rent or my cell phone! All you people do is sit out here and demand MORE. Winning in this business is what pays for all of those things. And in case you haven’t noticed I haven’t done much of that while I’ve been listening to you. All of that is going to change.

August wasn’t much of a busy month but it was important. Aaron Andrews, Thomas Morgan, Remmy Honeyman and Katie Cameron were all up for renewal. Aaron Andrews was the important one of the bunch. He did want a little pay increase, but he still wasn’t an overly expensive talent and we’d still be able to afford him. One surprise was Thomas Morgan as he asked for a large pay increase. We agreed to pay it to him as well as the downside he requested, but I’m not sure how long we’ll keep him around. He’s a solid talent but is getting close to forty and hasn’t to a level he should have been able to. I might cut him loose. We did renew everyone and brought Mikey James on as well. I had also sent promo tapes out to some TV networks but they still weren’t interested. Here are my notes from around the industry. [B]Recent News[/B] - John “The Silencer” Snyder debuted this month. He looks like a brawler and that’s what he is. He has a background in the armed forces and has the potential to improve in other areas. - Alex Braun retired from the business at age 51. He was a two time RPW Champion, a four time Dave Tag Team Champion with partner Tank Bradley and a four time DAVE Brass Knuckles Champion. - Giant Redwood called it quits at age 47. He held the USPW World Title four times and the USPW National Title once. - MPWF and DAVE signed new PPV deals with Seleccion Mexico and USA Free Choice respectively. [B] Signings and Departures[/B] - Jack Griffith and Adam Matravers are among the names announced for the new GCG tour. - Valiant left CGC when they didn’t renew him.

Marv and Ota came over to my apartment on the third of October for our monthly creative meeting. We started out as usual. The industry had gotten stronger and was still rising as the economy was still getting stronger too. Next I reported we had made 16k this month. We were extremely happy with this. We liked the idea of having Tuesday shows for Rush Hour and decided to keep that the same as Trent could make the shows and help. We also spent time discussing Road to Glory a little more and talked about bringing in a total of four outsiders to go with four of our own. We then talked about our plans for our September show. We had a lot of places we could go and a lot of solid matches that could keep our show quality steady. So at around 8 PM everyone left and I went to work updating our website and drawing up fliers for the area.
