MAW: A Second Chance


Recommended Posts

Rip spent Christmas planning the The Rip Chord Invitational. He was up all night, and went to bed just in time to catch the 6 a.m. news: [COLOR="Orange"]"Our top story, a man was arrested last night for molestation. Jean Cattley, 29, reportedly sneaked into an orphanage dressed up as Santa Claus and molested several children. He has pleaded guilty to the charges, and is awaiting arraignment."[/COLOR] Rip sighed, and went to sleep.

December 28th Rip takes a meeting at his home. [COLOR="Blue"]"It's been a long time, John. How have you been?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "A lot better than I was."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"I heard you found Jesus."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]*chuckle* "No no, nothing like that. I just needed to get my mind and body right."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "You still looking to take down Rich?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "Well... old habits die hard, but I'm learning." *laugh* I actually went to a psychologist, she told me that I need to write things down, and then in a day, read them. If I still think it's a good idea, I do it."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] *laugh* "A psychologist and a diary? Never thought you were the type."[/COLOR] There was a long silence. [COLOR="Red"] "I made a lot of enemies throughout the years, even more when I left. Mitch wouldn't even see me."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "So I'm last on the list, huh?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "I didn't really think I'd fit in here."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "You won't. But, I need a booker, and you need a chance."[/COLOR] Rip and John shook hands, and John started to walk out the door. [COLOR="Blue"] "One more thing, John."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "Yeah?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "Do me a favor. Don't screw me over."[/COLOR] And with that I, John Campbell, was the new booker of Mid Atlantic Wrestling.

December 28th 10:00 p.m. Mood: Uneasy :( Music: Ace of Spades - Motorhead My son had an idea. He knows that I have been writing a journal, and told me about something called "blogging." He suggested I use it to keep my fans in the loop, since I've left you guys in the dark for a long time. So, this is my livejournal. Rip is giving me a chance. It's going to be hard. Like I told Rip, old habits die hard, and I'm not sure how this is going to work out. I'm not a changed man, just a healthier one. But this is my chance to prove that I can still have an impact on this business. [CENTER]I am no longer John Campbell. I am [I]Nemesis[/I], and I am [B]back[/B].[/CENTER]

January 3rd [COLOR="Red"] "So how does this work? I had a lot of freedom at DaVE."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"You'll have some. This promotion is to nurture, not waste time or surpass anybody." [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"] "Fair enough."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "That being said, I'd like to keep our reputation, and though I don't care if you make us rich, I do need enough money to pay the guys, so don't go bankrupt like last time. *chuckle* [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"] *fake laugh* "Sure."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "Also, I see big things for Antonio and Casey Valentine. Try to keep them popular and in matches, that way we can see if they really have what it takes."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "Fine. Anything else?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "Yes, we basically have our roster, so if you do have to hire someone make sure they can improve our current roster."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "Sounds good. Is that all?"[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"] "One last thing. I'm setting up a small event for two weeks before The Invitational. A test, if you will."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "Can't wait."[/COLOR]

January 3rd 11:00 p.m. Mood: Upset :mad: Music: Ironic - Alanis Morisette Today Totalextremewrestling.com gave Jerry Eisen the award for best announcer. I still feel bitter, and it had nothing to do with Jerry. Still, he should go rot in hell. Also, I've decided that MAW has too many cruiserweights. I may fire some, but I'm definitely not hiring any. Unfortunately, that means my son will not be working with us. He still has PSW. Mitch may be mad at me, but he wasn't going to take it out of my son, and I respect him for that.

[COLOR="Blue"]"What the **** was that?!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"] "A good show, what's the problem?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "This is Mid Atlantic Wrestling. It's not about success or money, it's about the show, and YOU are not the show."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"There were great matches out there."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"And almost half the show involved you. Do it again, and you are fired, understand?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"Yeah... I got it."[/COLOR]

January 26 8:23 a.m. Mood: Excited :D Music: You're the Best - Joe Esposito Today is the invitational, and my last chance. However, I have a hell of a card planned out, and can't wait. Thanks for all the positive feedback on the show, even though Rip may not have liked it too much. I guess that's it.

February 3rd Randy Maxx knocks on Rip Chord's door. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Mr. Chord, you wanted to see me?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "Randy, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Rip. The reason I called you here is because I think you are ready."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"I am?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] "Certainly. Do me a favor and stay until your contract runs out, but after that, you should go find another promotion to show your skills."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Y-yes, sir."[/COLOR] Rip Chord extended his arm, and Randy Maxx shook it.

March 22nd 8:24 p.m. Mood: Flirty ;) Music: My Humps - Black Eyed Peas I've been getting a lot of questions about my health. I'm doing well. I had a couple of surgeries back in the day, and it worked out well. More importantly in my recovery is the fact that I haven't been in the wrestling business. It killed my soul, but it made it easier to focus on recovery. There's also been some questions on what I'm going to do to win the "regional battles" we're facing. The answer is: nothing. It's not MAW's prerogative to do anything but nurture young talent. I'm not quite sure what my prerogative is yet. Nothing has really been going on lately. I've been getting along with Rip, for the most part, and business is going well.

March 25th [COLOR="Orange"]"The story of "Mean" Jean Cattley gets even worse. Today, the FBI have released a statement saying that Jean Cattley, 30, has been helping run a child pornography ring. The wrestler, sometimes known as "The Mean Machine" was arrested on Christmas for sneaking into an orphanage, apparently looking for subjects for the ring."[/COLOR]

He had more questioning with those sons of bitches at the FBI. Rip, and MAW, gave me a second chance when I didn't deserve one, and I loved giving you all I could, every time. And I know that these wrestlers, who come out here and perform for you, I know they appreciate it, too. This is good-bye, for now. But not forever. Hopefully, but doubtfully, a month or two. Maybe a year or two. Maybe a decade or two. No matter how long it takes, we'll be back. Mark my words. This is not the last of Mid Atlantic Wrestling."[/COLOR] C [SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]Farewell Battle Royal[/COLOR][/SIZE] Cameron Vessey defeated Findlay O'Farraday, Huey Cannonball, Jefferson Stardust, Keith Vegas and Ricky Douglas in the MAW farewell battle royale.
