DarrenDouglas Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It was a month ago I started here. You see I've worked in the wrestling buisness for close to 10 years. I started out as an in-ring performer, but, found that I was more interested in the creative end of things. You see I wasn't excatly very charismatic in the ring. I would say that my in-ring work was soild. It'd be described unspectacular at best. So, I took a long look at myself and realized that it was time to step back and let the true stars shine. So, I started working backstage at events. At first I was merely one of those guys that show up before an event and help put the ring up. Then it happened. I was working a indy show for a promotion in Kentucky that is barley even know in their homestate let alone anywhere else in the world. It was there that I was bitten by the creative bug. You see the booker of this fed decided that it was more important to party with the boys than actually book the show. And when we found him passed out under the bleachers just hours before the show, well, it didn't look good. That's when I decided to step up. I took controll. It probably wouldn't have worked if I didn't know most of the gentlemen in the fed. But, being that nothnig had been booked and we were mere hours from showtime the boys feel in line and put their trust in me. To be quite frank I didn't have a lot to work with, but, the paying fans deserved something. You see I've always been more of a fan of action that was more competitive in nature than the typical sqaush matches that the big boys where putting out. So, the show went on without a hitch. I deleveried a product that the fans weren't used to seeing. A lot of back and forth matches. The fifty people in attendance wer eon the edge of their seats. Too bad for me that most time the wrestling buisness is more about egos than anything else. When the real booker had found out what I had done with the assistance of some of the less talented guys that considered themselves to be Superstars. Well, I was fired and told my days in the wrestling buisness were done. I went home proud of what I had accomplished, but, jobless. But, life is funny. The next day a promotion a little bigger than the one I had just worked with called me up. They liked what I had done and one of my friends that worked the show had given them my number. My carrer was ressurected before anyone had time to put a toe-tag on it. Years passed and I worked my way up to bigger and better promotions. Finally settling in a new promotion Smokey Moutain Wrestling. They liked my style and let me help set up shows. I worked there for a few months before the phone rang yet again. To say I was unperpared for what was about to happen would be an understatment. \ [I]"Hello."[/I] [I]"Please hold for Vince McMahon"[/I] the voice on the other end responded almost immediatley. I was in utter disbelife. [I]"Mr. Douglas, This is Vince McMahon.[/I] I sat there unable to find the words for a moment. [I]"Well, hello sir, how can I help you?"[/I] [I]"Well, the real question might be how can I help you. You see Mr. Douglas the wrestling world is a tight-knit community. And latley some accquinteces of mine have spoken very highly of you and what your doing down south. I was wondering if you thought you were ready to be called up to the big leagues?" [/I] What in the world had just happened? Did Vince really just offer me a job? Was I dreaming? [I]"Hello, are you there?"[/I] [I]"Yessir! I do think I'm ready. Hell, I'm more than ready I was born for this!"[/I] [I]"Ha! That's the kind of attitude I liek in my employees. How soon can you be here?[/I] Needless to say I was on the NEXT plane out of town. It was decided that I would start booking shows at the first of January. That was a month ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenDouglas Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 A lot of things have happened that have changed the way the WWF will be forever. And I'm proud to say that I had more than a little to do with it. And while I won't run-down every little thing that has changed. I will let you know about all the big things that have occured. This will not only serve as a tool for myself to remember what I have accomplished here, but, perhaps someday someone will stumble across it and actually be interested in what all has happened. When I first met with Vince he say me down and told me what was expected of me. #1 I was not to let the WWF fall from the number one promotion in the world. #2 Vince informed me that Earthqauke was not on good terms with him. And I was not to push him at all. #3 Vince says that their is a superstar waiting to emerge in a wrestler that goes by the name of Shawn Micheals and that I had to keep his momentum strong because he could break out any day now. #4 and #5 I wasn't allowed to hire anyone the scouts belived where below average when it came to Resilience or Toughness. Fair enough I suppose. I mean I was just given a job with the biggest wrestling promotion in the world! First thing I did was trim the fat off the roster. You probably wouldn't even notice any of the men that were let go. So, I won't go through the trouble of listing them. [SIZE="5"][B]Notable Events[/B][/SIZE] It turned out that as soon as I took the reigns Dusty Rhodes contact was on the verge of expiring. I told Vince some of my ideas for him, but, in the end Vince didn't think he was valuable to keep around. So, I used him to put over young talent. Namley Shane Douglas and the newly signed Steve Austin! Speaking of Austin he has risen through the ranks faster than anyone, even myself, could have thought. He is currently a Midcarder and with the backing of Bobby Heenan shows no signs of slowing down. I'm also a firm believer in giving back to those who gave to you. So, I somehow convinced Vince that it would be a good idea to form a realationship with Smokey Mountain Wrestling. I told him that it would be a good place to send future stars to develope and luckily he agreed. Man, who knew working with such big stars would be such a big hassle. It seems everyday I'm getting phonecalls about problems with our wrestlers. Drugs seeming to be the biggest problem. Hulk Hogan, Road Warrior Animal, and Hercules Hernandez are among the few who have tested positive for steroids. Road Warrior Hawk and succesful tag team wrestler Marty Janettey have also tested positive, but, they seem to favor hard drugs opposed to steroids. Talking with Janettey, Hawk, and Hernandez seemed to do wonders for them as they promised it wouldn't happen again. Hulk Hogan and Animal , however, seemed less than interested in my speeches/pleas to quit. And if the steroids weren't bad enough Hulk Hogan seems to have an altercation with fans outside every arena we visit. He also doesn't think any of that is of my concern. [SIZE="5"][B]On-Screen Events[/B][/SIZE] So, far I think I'm off to a good start. I've had three really hot feuds. Most of which ended at last nights Royal Rumble. First off, The Ultimate Warrior and The Undertaker had some really bad blood. These two threw everything they had at each other and last night at the PPV they had their blow-off match. It ended questionably, but, right now our WWF Champion is....THE UNDERTAKER!! What's next for the deadman? Secoundly, Mr. Perfect and The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith showed our fans what real compition is all about. These two tore it up all over the country wether they were facing each other or just talking smack. Their fued ended when Perfect pinned Bulldog cleanly in a two out of three falls match. What's on the horizon for the IC champ? Last, but, not least. Mr Pain in my ass Hulk Hogan has been waring with The Million Dollar Mab. Too bad, however, that Vince had to give Hogan creative control in order to get him to sign his last contract. He refuses to lose to anyone. So, this feud, despite being a hit with fans, is doing nothing for Dibiasi than keep him on the card. Hogan won Clean last night. And I'm thinking of ending this one on a high note since with Hogan refusing to lose I don't think their is much else these guys can do. Also note that Randy Savage won The Royal Rumble last night and is the new number one contender. He with the help of Queen Sherri (taking liberties with this) eliminated Kerry Von Eric to win. The tag title scene has been interesting as we've had two of our most popular teams The Hart Foundation and The Rockers competing for the titles. Both teams have taken each other to the limit wrestling more than once ending in a time limit draw. Last Night at The Rumble the Hart Foundation took the win and their title back to Canada. [SIZE="5"][B]In Closing..[/B][/SIZE] I would like to thank anyone who might read this and I should have a new card posted soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been the life of many parties and the dreams to a lot of women. Man, we've been through some battles and I have to say last night was the first time I've ever been ashamed to call you my partner. We had the WWF Tag Team Titles won. But, you blew it.

While they showed no chemsitry either good or bad. I'm sure in a few years these men will carry the banner for the WWF in the future! But, for now I have other plans for both men. Randy Savage is really building moment and has yet to dissapoint me. Will he be facing Taker at Mania? Or will someone else emerge as a Champion. Also afte rthe show Jim Neidhart informed me that he would now be wrestling as more of a Brawler. [/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thinking about giving Janettey a mouth peice as I'm pretty sure he's uncapable of getting himself over. Also Hercules Hernandez is in trouble once again as he tested positive once again for steroids. He was fined this time, but, once again promised it wouldn't happen again. I'm not buying it! Also backstage Randy Savage started an argument with Steve Austin. Savage was given a slap on the wrist by me.

Which is why I did them on Primetime instead of a ppv. I know it takes away some of the realism from the era giving those matches away on free tv, but, I really had no choice.
