World Wrestling Entertainment: Behind the Scenes

[tiarnantman]

[U][B]Stamford, Connecticut|August 2007[/B][/U] "And what exactly do you mean by 'attitude problem'?" [B]"Well Joey, perhaps you're not aware of this, but arriving late for the [I]third time in a month[/I] isn't exactly something you'd expect from a model employee."[/B] I rolled my eyes as Styles attempted to retort. It wasn't as though this is the first time he'd had to punish one of the guys, but Joey Styles? Wasn't he one of the guys who, judging from the opinion of internet, can never do wrong? Well, I supposed this proves just how much the internet really knew about some of the wrestlers. [B]"Ok, so look. Joey, I don't know if you have a history of this sort of thing, because I'm new here, remember? But honestly, I'm telling you now...if this happens again, then you're out of a job."[/B] "So fire me then, if that's what you want. Trying to force me out of the company...well I wont' allow it, I -" [B]"Oh, give it a rest Joey. Just suck it up and try to arrive [I]on time [/I]in the future. You know as well as I do that you don't want to lose your job."[/B] "But -" [B]"Joey, look at me. Do you honestly want us to get rid of you right now? Because we can do just that, you know we can."[/B] "Uh...n -" [B]"Exactly. Now, it's been nice talking to you, but I really have to end this. I'll see you."[/B] Joey mumbled something, but turned around and left the office without arguing. I slammed the office door, walked back to the desk and fell back into my seat. Just as my eyes were beginning to close over, the secretary's voice rang in my ears. "Mr. McMeekin, Stephanie's here to see you." I groaned, but told the secretary to send her in. Stephanie McMahon, daughter of Vince, opened the door almost immediately, and sat wearily on the seat opposite to me. She looked as tired as he was, yet somehow her beauty still managed to fill the room like a bright light. [I]"Hey, I take it you're tired?"[/I] [B]"Yeah, I just dealt with Styles. But you don't look too energetic yourself Steph."[/B] She covered her mouth, trying to stiffle a yawn. [I]"Yeah, it's been a tough day. Benoit's still persistant about wanting to continue wrestling regularly."[/I] [B]"But you couldn't coincide, eh?"[/B] [I]"No way, not with his risk of injury. We could never let him continue. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he just walked out on us."[/I] [B]"Seriously?"[/B] [I]"Yeah, I was talking to him, and he was just so bitter. Honestly, you should have heard some of the stuff he was saying. Not appreciated, the best damn wrestler we have...Seriously, I think it might just be best to let him go, he's never going to agree to being 'just' an agent."[/I] [B]"But surely he'll be even more at risk if he's able to wrestle outside of the company?"[/B] [I]"Yes, but you see, he's going to quit anyway. You weren't there, you didn't hear him. Sacking him is the most efficient thing we can do right now. So, he'll be at risk, but it's his problem now. If he doesn't want our support, then so be it. Nope, he's gone, I've made up my mind."[/I] I could obviously spot the flaws here, but even so, I had to agree. This is what I love about Steph. She's as human as anyone, yet she's so fiery when she needs to be. [B]"Well, I suppose you're right. We'd better get the papers...although perhaps we shouldn't tell Benoit until after his match with Lashley come Tuesday, we don't want to spoil anything."[/B] So, with that, we got down to the paper-work, Stephanie ceasing all talking and getting stuck in, whilst I tried doing the same, attempting not to gaze into her ample cleavage.

Thanks for the feedback guys. :) [CENTER]***[/CENTER] [I]Looking back on...[B]June 2007.[/B][/I] [QUOTE][B]OnlineWorldofWrestling.com|WWE Hires Rookie for Booking Job[/B] According to Dave Meltzer, WWE have hired the relatively inexperienced Tto a booking job backstage. McMeekin, aged 24, is from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and has had previous experience in FWA in the UK and APW her in the States. The latter stint was a short one though, and it is surprising that the WWE would hire him over more experienced bookers and favourites among the more powerful names of the company. How high up his position will be still remains unknown. However, the Observer states that it will be quite a few rungs up from the typical WWE-beginner.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B]Results from the Draft Lottery Special RAW[/B] ECW's Bobby Lashley d.

Whether it's due to repetitiveness or a lack of PPV time for certain superstars, it cannot be confirmed. However, we [I]can[/I] that Vengeance, set to take place at the end of the month, will feature RAW superstars only.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B]More Info on WWE PPVs[/B] WWE.com announced earlier today that the monthly tri-branded PPV idea has ended. We can now announce that although RAW will have its own PPVs, ECW matches will be featured on the SmackDown events. It is possible that belief is that this will make the potentially lacking SmackDown-only PPVs seem more 'marquee', and therefore more attractive to the potential buyer. The following is the PPV schedule until WrestleMania 24 in April '08: [B]Vengeance - [COLOR="Red"]RAW[/COLOR]; Great American Bash - [COLOR="Blue"]SmackDown [/COLOR](featuring [COLOR="Purple"]ECW[/COLOR]); SummerSlam - Tri-branded; Unforgiven - [COLOR="red"]RAW[/COLOR]; No Mercy - [COLOR="blue"]SmackDown [/COLOR](featuring [COLOR="purple"]ECW[/COLOR]); Cyber Sunday - [COLOR="red"]RAW[/COLOR]; Survivor Series - Tri-branded; Armageddon - [COLOR="blue"]SmackDown [/COLOR](featuring [COLOR="purple"]ECW[/COLOR]); Royal Rumble - Tri-branded; No Way Out - Tri-branded; WrestleMania 24 - Tri-branded.[/B] As you can see, Cyber Sunday will continue to run as a RAW-only PPV, whereas all events taking place on the 'Road to WrestleMania' will be tri-branded, including No Way Out, formerly a SmackDown PPV.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][U]RAW [B]presents...WWE Vengeance[/U][/B] [I]Pre-show:[/I] Victoria d.
