stonecoldsidious Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It had been a long time coming. I'd been out the business for some time. Sure I'd done a bit on the indy circuit helping to promote and scout but not since my WCW days had I been with a "Big" company. I was sat at home after a nice festive holiday when the phone rang. I recognised the voice instantly. It was an old friend of mine...Kevin Nash. "Chris, its big Kev here, how you doing?" I responded that I was ok but knew this weren't just a social call, I could tell by his tone he had something to ask me, "Whats up Kev?" i asked. "Well I wondered if you would like to meet with Dixie Carter. We're looking at uping our game a little this year, you know apply some pressure, make people take a bit more notice of us. That means some new fresh ideas. I remembered how you were back in the days of the Pac, you had some great ideas for myself, Hall and Sting and the up and comers. Maybe if Eric had listened to you things might have been different. So what about it you interested?" "Well I don't have anything planned and it'd certainly be good to have a regular pay check. So why not, what do I need to do?" "Just pack a bag, go to the airport and fly here. Tickets are already sorted. Dixie personally will meet you at the airport this end, take you out for a bite to eat so you can talk. After that you can come and watch Resolution, while thinking over your decision." "Ok i'll see you soon Big guy" And that was that. I was packing a bag, getting a taxi and making my way to Orlando. My head was buzzing, I'd obveiously kept my eye on TNA and knew who they had and what they were doing. I also had ideas that I thought could improve certain members. But at the moment thats all they were, ideas, first I had to listen to what Dixie had to say and what exactly she would want from me. It would be an interesting meeting.

stonecoldsidious Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I steped off the plane and I knew I was now officially in Micky Mouse ville. I also knew that many, especially people in Stamford, saw TNA as nothing but a Micky Mouse outfit. ECW, WCW they had all failed in the bid to topple the biggest wrestling company in the world. What would make TNA different? I was hopeing the answer to that question would be me. As I got to the outside of the airport there was Dixie waiting for me. No driver just her, was this because she really wanted it to just be me and her or that they couldn't afford a chauffeur. We greeted and said all the usual pleasantries and she offered to take me for a bite to eat. I said fantastic and we headed to Wild Jack's Steak and BBQ. We placed our orders and then we began. "Chris its a pleasure to meet you, I'm sure you know why you're here?" "Well actually no I don't, Kevin Nash phoned me asking how would I like to meet with you, he said that the company wanted to up their game a little and he had suggested me, next thing I knew I was packing a bag getting on a plane to come here. Now I'm drinking a cold one and about to eat a some ribs with you." I said with a slight sound of puzzlement. Dixie looked at me as if she was trying to read my mind. "I want you to help my booking team. Kevin told me that back in the days when you worked in WCW you had some very good ideas, ideas he thinks would have kept the company going. Well i want those ideas, I want TNA to go to the next level, big storys, good characters, who knows maybe we could start a whole new monday night wars" she finishes with a smile. "I don't know if I'm good enough, I've never done anything major, its ok having the ideas but being able to carry them out is another thing. Plus you don't know if my ideas back then were good, you're just going on Big Kevs say so." "Steve thinks you can do it also, he remembers you and said your ideas and talent for spotting potential is exceptional. Thinks it could make the difference. I've spoken to Vince Russo and he agrees that someone fresh and new would be ideal. You'll work close together. He'll help you with the bits you're unsure about but basically TNA will be your canvas. You can choose the feuds, the stories, everything just be creative so what do you say?" I sat and pondered. The offer was good I had nothing to lose. There was one thing I wanted to know. "You say everything, does that mean talent signing also?" "Yes" Dixie responded without hesitation. "If you think bringing someone in will give us a boost, we'll do it, if you think someone should be released then we'll do it. So does that mean you'll join the TNA family?" I finished my beer and looked at her "Dixie you just got yourself a new booker, when do I start?" Dixie gave a satisfying smile "You start now. We'll head to the impact zone and meet a few faces. Its too late to change the results of tonights PPV but maybe you can help put some finishing touches on the matches, I'm sure you already have ideas running through your head and maybe some can be incorporated in tonights show to help start the ball rolling for you." Oh I had ideas alright, just wasn't sure how good they were. Still we'd find out soon enough and one thing was for sure it was gonna be a roller coaster of a ride, and what better place to be for that than Orlando.

stonecoldsidious Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Resolution Aftermath It was going be a long day, We had an impact show to get ready for and we had just had our first PPV of the year Final Resolution. All in all I was impressed the guys and girls put on a good showing and the crowd seemed impressed. Still I was in charge now. All during the night I'd been making calls, there was people I wanted on board. I'd left messages an the like and so the ball was in their court. For the time being I had to just work with what I had. First thing was to decide to go ahead with the planned Womens rematch between Gail Kim and the Awesome Kong. I've never been a big fan of womens wrestling but the girls here can hold their own and put on entertaining matches so I was happy to pass that. I called Vinnie Russo and told him I wanted to talk about last night and where we go from here. Still I had one match booked for Impact so thats a good start. Some of the writers had wanted Senshi and Skipper to take on the Moter City Machineguns. That was a no go, I saw no point to it other than an airtime filler, but I'm sure I would find a use for them elsewhere. First to talk to Vince about my plans then to plan the rest of the show and let the people know the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Roode is with us becasue hes a smart business man and the future of this sport also. He knows that the Alliance is the team to be. But theres someone missing. Tomko. Now as far as I know you're not here tonight whihc leaves me puzzled as your Tag Partner and fellow Champ is. So Tomko its simple you have a choice you can either be 100% with the Angle Alliance or you will be against us. But know this, we will be the best alliance ever, we will be bigger than the Four Horseman, than the NWO and most definitely bigger than some crouch chopping degenerates. and if you aren't down with that i've got 5 words for ya......IT'S TRUE, IT'S DAMN TRUE!!!!!! [COLOR="blue"][Kurts music starts playing][/COLOR] Mike Tenay: Kurts giving Tomko a Choice what will hes answer be? tune in next week as we're out of time Don West: Good night everybody!

Glad you liked the show. Any improvements would you recommend? or anything you would maybe like to see? I.e. News items back stage gossip that sort of thing.

stonecoldsidious Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 TNA Office Well I'd done my first show, which seemed to go well with the crowd. So I was now up and running. My plans were being startedand I'd had a couple of returned calls from talent that I possibly wanted to work for us in some way. I also wanted to maybe put our show out live. I don't think it would be an issue as we'd only just clash with ECW which was nothing but a shell of its former self. I'll wait and see wha tthe ratings are this Impact and maybe monitor the situation for a Month or so. No need to rush we aren't going to be Number 1 over night. I had a few things to tidy up and then a meeting to discuss some possible roles. Other than that I just needed to plan my next show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
