News, rumors, and interviews, all brought to you by the incomparable Duane Fry.[/I] [B]Preview for podcast available Monday, Week 2, July 2008[/B] "The final Supreme TV before The Supreme Challenge 28! You can't miss this one, fans!" "How big is this week? Big enough that Jack Bruce is defending the SWF World Heavyweight championship and its not even the main event! Now that's a big night!" "The main event will see "Hard Cash" Rich Money take on the recently-christened "Pride Warrior" Chris Morrisette. Money is said to be quite upset that he hasn't been put in either of the title matches yet for Supreme Challenge and is not happy that he is scheduled to face Randy Bumfhole. Will "Hard Cash" take it out on Morrisette?" "Rich Money won't be the only member of Big Money Incorporated stepping into the ring. Brandon James finds himself facing athletic newcomer Art Reed. Remo will have to deal with an Antonio Marquez who has seemed increasingly angry in recent weeks. Three big tests for the Big Money Incorporated crew." "Jack Bruce puts his belt on the line against Jay Chord. While the youngster has the pedigree of a champion, he has yet to prove a great deal in the Supreme Wrestling Federation, even after joining Remember Tomorrow. So why does he get a shot at the SWF World Heavyweight Championship? No one is quite sure, but many are expecting some kind of sleight of hand from the master of deception, Richard Eisen." "Who is "The Nuke"? This one has fans talking. And rightfully so. I can tell you that the surprise is going to be fun. No, I can't tell you who it is on the Podcast, but I can sure drop some hints!" "The past six months have seen some of the younger generation of Supreme Legends™ make an impact. Dubbed "Generation Supreme", youngsters like the Bumfhole brothers and Marc DuBois have moved into the main event. DuBois captured the SWF North American championship. Even guys like Ace Newton, Steven Parker, Gino Montero, Sean Deeley, Antonio Marquez, and Darryl Devine have become solid midcard fixtures. There are many who feel this young and talented group could start to take over the promotion. Will it start at The Supreme Challenge? I have thoughts on this..." "This is going to be a huge night, fans. A true barn-stormer! I'll never steer you wrong, so make sure to tune in!"

Changed it at the last minute. Mainly because Jack Bruce doesn't seem to consistently pull solid matches out of mediocre opponents the way many other main eventers do for me. I'm really not sure why - no one else has the popularity and momentum he does, and his skills are obviously pretty solid. Its not terrible, but its a bit of a concern. Having the belt on the line helps, so I figured I'd try to help the rating out a bit. I also did consider using a different opponent. Unfortunately I only have so many upper midcard and main event heels, and most of those have faced Bruce several times. Factor in the brand split and trying to make things work in other storylines and I'm left mostly looking at midcarders. Figured there wasn't much difference between Chord, Parker, Newton, or Deeley when it came down to it. Glad I did. Turned out they had poor chemistry. So did my main event. I also ran the event before I got things completely right in terms of the order. D'oh! It worked out, but I have to be more careful.

[QUOTE=Phantom Stranger;568738]As I recall, his third row is only solid, rather than great - ideally, you want someone with solid Performance skills in there too.[/QUOTE] Yeah, Bruce doesn't quite have ideal Performance skills. The B- in Psychology and Selling seems to be what does it. They certainly aren't terrible. I find that putting Bruce against a midcarder is likely to get me a B if I'm lucky and more likely a B- in many cases. I've found myself having Bruce defend the title in situations he really shouldn't be - like against Jay Chord - just because that helps match ratings a bit. When I put other main eventers against those same midcarders, it seems like I'm at least going to get a B, sometimes a B+, and occasionally an A. I can see that with Faith or Money, it seems to be the case with even Vengeance. They have similar levels of popularity and momentum to Bruce... It doesn't bother me much, but it seems like Bruce used do better in those matches early in the game, and that was when he didn't have the same levels of popularity. I was hoping Bruce would improve a bit with time, but so far, not at all. I guess it turns out that skill does matter at least a bit in the Supreme Wrestling Federation... Who knew? There go my plans of having Dusty Bin on top within months...

Art Reed vs [B]Brandon James[/B] Can't see Reed getting much from this tbh The Upper Class (John Greed + Paul Huntingdon) vs [B]Valiant & Giedroyc[/B] for the SWF World Tag Team Championships Valiant and Giedroyc continue their reign [B]The Immortal Bumfholes[/B] vs Last Chance (Enforcer Roberts + Flex Garcia) Bumfholes seem to be on more of a push, and they're on the up [B]Remo[/B] vs Antonio Marquez No brainer [B]Angry Gilmore [/B]vs John McClean McClean doesn't stand a chance, barring a Sexy interference Jay Chord vs [B]Jack Bruce[/B] for the SWF World Heavyweight Championship Chord doesn't stand a chance Chris Morrisette vs [B]Rich Money[/B] Rich Money is definately on a better push, but on the other hand...Tigerkinny may have a point

[randomfreeze]

Sorry about the slipups confusing the A and B shows, there is a lot to digest here but I definately joining this at the right time with the Supreme Challenge coming up. Art Reed vs [B]Brandon James[/B] [I]Creative Control for the win.[/I] The Upper Class (John Greed + Paul Huntingdon) vs [B]Valiant & Giedroyc[/B] for the SWF World Tag Team Championships [I]Like the team of Valiant and Giedroyc a lot.[/I] [B]The Immortal Bumfholes[/B] vs Last Chance (Enforcer Roberts + Flex Garcia) [I]If they don't get the clean pin, win by DQ from a Money interference.[/I] [B]Remo[/B] vs Antonio Marquez [I]Completely on another level than Champagne.[/I] [B]Angry Gilmore[/B] vs John McClean [I]Can't see it going the other way.[/I] Jay Chord vs [B]Jack Bruce[/B] for the SWF World Heavyweight Championship [I]I'm fine with Chord getting a title shot, his dad did hold the belt 3 times.[/I] [B]Chris Morrisette[/B] vs Rich Money [I]I like the theory that Randy distracts Rich and Chris gets a quick pin.[/I] And as for who will face Faith at Supreme Challenge, Eisen maybe?

[Bigpapa42]

[QUOTE=randomfreeze;569706]Sorry about the slipups confusing the A and B shows, there is a lot to digest here but I definately joining this at the right time with the Supreme Challenge coming up. [/QUOTE] No worries. I realize how how big this has gotten, with big rosters and technically three shows. If it sometimes get tough for the writer to keep track of everyone and everything, I imagine its much worse for the readers. I just hope that aspect to it isn't scary away potential new readers. And just for the record, as I thought I had put in this in the very first post on page one but realize now that I didn't - no one on my roster has creative control. I'm pretty sure Eric lost it when he signed a new contact early in the game, and James I just edited out. Blatant cheating, I know. But as I indicated in very first post of the diary, playing this game is about the stories and that's it. When I found the creative control interfered with the stories I wanted to tell in some way, something had to change. Same reason I edited the start date of MHC so that I could sign Gino Montero. Changing the contracts of Eisen and James, as well as the start of the new Mexican promotion, are the only changes like that which pop to mind immediately. I will say that I've avoided editing contract end dates, especially for workers for other promotions that I'd like to sign. That's been tempting, especially when I had one of The New Wave for months but not the other. But editing contract end dates is a place I don't want to go.

Cheated with WEXXV finances and IIRC I edited someone's contract so that he stayed with the promotion (He was too big for a regional fed..)

[QUOTE=FINisher;569816]Cheating of any kind pretty much kills the diary in my opinion. Cheated with WEXXV finances and IIRC I edited someone's contract so that he stayed with the promotion (He was too big for a regional fed..)[/QUOTE] I think cheating kills the challenge. If I was running a diary with any other promotion, then trying to grow the promotion is part of the challenge. Trying to overtake whoever is bigger. When you do something that amounts to cheating - such as editing a contract - it takes part of the challenge away. Part of the fun. But with the SWF, I don't really find there is that much of a challenge. That's not why I'm using them. The whole point of the diary - and the fun I'm having with it - is the stories. Since the change to the contract allowed me to tell the stories I wanted to tell, it was an easy choice. I likely could have worked around it in some manner. I tend to book in a way that protect my main eventers anyway. But I really wish that when a worker uses their CC clause to block a finish, you could attempt to reason with them to make them understand the payoff (assuming there is one). But as it stands, no means no. So when I ran into it, I decided to make the adjustment rather than significantly alter the stories I wanted to tell. Because what likely would have happened would've been using Eric Eisen more as a personality than a wrestler, which would have changed things up notably for me. I hope that readers don't think less of the diary because of it, or abandon reading it outright. But if they choose to, they do. I had no issue mentioning it because its not a big deal to me. I noted the other change I made - changing the MHW start date - right in the very first post I ever made. That said, I hope to have the next show up tonight or tomorrow.

[Tigerkinney]

Well I wont think any less of the diary, but I will say that I've had to live with Puerto Rican Power's irritating creative control in my diary and have found my way round it. :p One has to wonder though, how Big Cat Brandon got the creative control in the first place. He was big star for DaVE but not their biggest star and they were the number 3 promotion in the country, until they went bankrupt. Yes he would have had some name value as a free agent, but surely not so much that he would demand creative control, unless Eisen was so desperate to keep him away from TCW.

[G-Prime]

IMHO, cheating in a diary game is ok, because it's less about the challenge, and more about the story. But that's just me.

But then again, he's Tommy Cornell... :p I've used smaller promotions a few times, and they provide a whole host of challenges that bigger ones don't. Especially when you are using SWF. With this SWF game, I've never had someone want to move on or not sign a contract extension. You can sign almost anyone not on a written contract. Money is never an issue. The concerns - and challenges - are far fewer with the SWF. Unless you either manage to have them drop in size or someone else makes the jump, you have a major advantage in the game as it is. In this game, now that TCW has dropped back down to Cult, the biggest "challenge" I have is the self-created issue of a big roster. I've wondered the same about James as well. Some shrewd negotiating by Big Cat's rep... I actually kinda thought of it as something Ryland threw in there in there to make you work around it, kinda like Sam Keith's CC in TCW.

But at the same time, where else is he going to go? USPW doesn't fit his style to any real degree. He could head back to Japan, where his skills definitely fit, but he is 47 years old with two teenage sons (plus whatever family we don't know about). Would moving to Japan after nearly two decades in the US really be that appealing? Especially given that he returned to wrestling in the US within a couple years of his sons being born? TCW simply makes so much sense for Keith in so many ways. While his statue certainly justifies it, it also seems like something they quite possibly wouldn't have had to offer to land him. I enjoy the CornellVerse far too much...

The moment is tense, as everyone seem wary of each other. There are some hard looks exchanged between the men. Except for Brandon James, who seems completely oblivious to the tension. Its clear that Golden and Frehley are keeping on opposite sides of the ring from each other. The crowd reaction is oddly mixed. Its negative, the most part. But there is some support for Frehley. The crowd has a bit of time to let their feelings be known, as Richard Eisen doesn't speak for a moment.[/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: I brought these men out here tonight for a reason. An obvious reason. To announce who will be in the second leg of the Supreme Double Jeopardy match at The Supreme Challenge 28. [I]Eisen lets the fans chew on that for a moment before continues.[/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: To start with, I have realized that I don't want to underestimate Jack Bruce. There's a reason that Bruce is not the most cerebral wrestler, but I'm not going to take a risk. Just in case Bruce gets the idea of keeping his belt in an underhanded manner, both legs of the Supreme Double Jeopardy match will be no disqualification and no count-out. If Bruce wants to prove himself, he'll have to win. [I]This brings down a heavy reign of hate from the crowd. Eisen again lets the fans have a moment before he continues.[/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: Of course, everyone is assuming that Jack Bruce will survive the first leg with his SWF World Heavyweight championship. If that's the case, if Jack Bruce survives Vengeance, then whoever faces him in the second leg will have a great opportunity. A Golden Opportunity. [I] Thing brings another shower of boos, and Rocky Golden begins to grin as if certain his name is about to announced.[/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: Which makes this choice so important. It has to be a great wrestler, because Bruce has proven resilient. Far too resilient. But it also has to be someone that the SWF can be proud of. Charismatic, heroic, and admirable. Someone money, in other words. [I]It's Rich Money's turn to grin. [/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: It also has to be someone I can trust implicitly. Someone I know will do what is right every time. And realize that what I say is right, every time. Someone who will realize that the Supreme Wrestling Federation is the most important thing, not themselves. Someone who will protect the interests of this promotion. [I]The Chosen One, Eric Eisen, is left grinning at this statement. Everyone seems to realize, though, that the SWF CEO isn't really giving anything away here. Yet. [/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: Its obvious that every man with me in this ring fits the criteria. To an extent. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that none of the men here are ideal. So I'm not choosing any of them. [I]There is a stunned silence. Everyone in the ring looks surprised. Except Frehely, who looks intense, and James who looks blank.[/I] [B]Emma Chase[/B]: Wait a minute... What? [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: I don't like repeating myself, Emma. I said I'm not choosing any of them. [B]Emma Chase[/B]: That isn't what we agreed on... [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: No, it isn't. But that's the benefit of being the boss... You get to change your mind and do things however you want. [B]Eric Eisen[/B]: But... [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: Don't argue with me. Look, its very simple. Every man here who is being considered is already booked to wrestle at The Supreme Challenge. Eric, you're facing Bart Biggz. Brandon is facing Eric Tyler. Remo is taking on Ray Diaz. [I] The crowd reacts to each of these, as the matches have not been previously announced. Eisen points out Frehley and Golden, who still seem wary of each other and won't share the same side of the ring.[/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: And you two - you're facing each other. [B]Emma Chase[/B]: So...? [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: So it doesn't make any sense to pick someone now. What if I choose Frehley and Golden beats him in their match? How does that look. [I]Frehley shakes his head that it won't happen. [/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: What if I pick Remo, and him and Diaz spend twenty minutes beating the hell out of each other? Will it matter if Remo wins but is in worse shape than Bruce for the second leg? No, I can't allow something like that to happen. [B]Emma Chase[/B]: So what are you doing, Richard? [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: Quite simple. I choose who will participate in the second leg of the Supreme Double Jeopardy during The Supreme Challenge. When the time comes, I will decide who is in the best position to win that match... whether its one of these men here or not... [I] There is a stunned silence. None of the men in the ring look impressed at this decision, and Chase looks downright irate. [/I] [B]Richard Eisen[/B]: And one other thing... If you lose your match, you're out. It's that simple. [I]There is another stunned silence. Then the ring erupts into angry arguements. It seems like everyone is grabbing for a microphone....[/I] [B]Eric Eisen[/B]: ...how could you do that to me... [B]Rich Money[/B]: This is the wrong decision... [B]Rock Golden[/B]: ...can't miss a Golden Opportunity like this... [B]Brandon James[/B]: ....... [I] After staring at this for a moment. Richard Eisen drops the microphone and leaves the ring. He seems pleased with himself. As he walks up the ramp, Emma Chase grabs the microphone and addresses the CEO.[/I] [B]Emma Chase[/B]: You're going to regret changing our deal, Richard. I guarantee it. [I] Eisen turns around and smiles, the manipulative grin of the chessmaster. He holds it for a moment, then turns and keeps walking.

Reed has the obvious advantage in that regard, but James also shows off the impressive degree of athleticism he has for such a big man. The match manages to make both workers look pretty good, and the crowd is behind it, though not actually hot. James has the power advantage, which gives him enough to take control.

[CENTER] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/JoeSexySmall.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/SqueekyMcCleanSmall.jpg[/IMG] [B]Joe Sexy + John McClean[/B][/CENTER] [I] After Sexy's off-camera comment, the camera pans around to reveal the duo seated at the back of the office. They are sitting awkwardly on top of stacks of boxes. Both are sitting in a way that clearly displays the shirts they are wearing - stylish and fitted black T-shirts that feature the Sin Inc logo and slogans. Sexy's shirt says "Sin to Win" while the one that McClean is wearing has "Clean with Envy". [/I] [B]Jessie[/B]: Why are you two here anyway? [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: Moral support? [B]John McClean[/B]: Veteran experience? [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: Trying to hock our new T-shirts. [B]John McClean[/B]: Nice, aren't they? [B]Jessie[/B]: I don't care about your T-shirts. I don't care about managing you two. Or you two. I'm only here because you told the producer to come here to interview you two. Not be interviewed. [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: We don't need to be managed. The kids do. We don't really need direction. [B]John McClean[/B]: Unless that direction is horizontal... [B]Jessie[/B]: You two are sleeze bags. [I]She turns back to Thompson and Deeley, ignoring the Sin Inc duo.[/I] [B]Jessie[/B]: Look, its nice that you feel I could help you. I'm flattered. But quite honestly, I'm just not interested. I have other things going on and it really wouldn't work. [B]Sean Deeley[/B]: Other things going on? Like interviewing people? [B]Joss Thompson[/B]: Dumb interviews with dumber people? Like that's important. [B]Jessie[/B]: Its not as if I have a lot to work with, if you four are any indication. [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: Ouch. Very ouch. [B]Joss Thompson[/B]: Look who's talking... Eye candy, honey. You're nothing more than eye candy. [B]John McClean[/B]: That's cold... [B]Jessie[/B]: That's awfully hurtful, coming from you. Seeing as you've accomplished so much. I managed the Biggz Boys to three tag team titles. You two managed to start off your SWF careers with a lot of hype... and a losing streak... [B]Sean Deeley[/B]: Look, we didn't ask you here to end up trading insults... [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: Especially since you two are getting the worst of it... [B]Sean Deeley[/B]: But we've said our piece. You aren't interested. We can accept that. We'll take our leave, then. [B]Joss Thompson[/B]: We'll leave you with Joe and John. They'd also like to give you a tryout. [B]Sean Deeley[/B]: A different kind of tryout. [I]All four men stand up. Thompson and Deeley head to the door, while Sexy and McClean flank Jessie in a suggestive but non-threatening manner. Sexy puts his hand on Jessie's shoulder and loads up his sleaziest smile. The beautiful woman hardly looks worried, however... When Thompson and Deeley open the door, someone is standing there...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/AngryGilmoreSmall.jpg[/IMG] [B]Angry Gilmore[/B][/CENTER] Angry Gimore is standing in the doorway, and he is... angry... Very clearly angry and ready for a fight. [B]Angry Gilmore[/B]: Sexy... get away... from... my... wife... [B]Joe Sexy[/B]: ...oh crap... [I]The next moments are a blur as Gilmore goes after Joe Sexy. Thompson and Deeley attempt to block Gilmore but they merely hold him up for a moment. Sexy jumps over the desk to try to get away from his former partner. His current partner, McClean, hides behind Jessie who is still sitting calmly and watching everything with a smile. Sexy bolts out of the office and disappears down the hallway. Gilmore corners McClean. The veteran looks to the young tag team for help, but they stay on the opposite side of the office. Angry gets up in McClean's face.[/I] [B]Angry Gilmore[/B]: McClean... you and me... in the ring... tonight... [I]Gilmore turns and walks around, taking Jessie by the hand. They stop in front of Thompson and Deeley, who avoid eye contact. Gilmore feints a move towards them and they both flinch. With Jessie giggling, the couple leaves the office.

The crowd is solidly into it, getting behind the Bumfholes. Randy and Zimmy show the quick style that has made them popular, while Garica and Roberts try to slow things down. The veterans find themselves overwhelmed, and The Big Show finisher from The Immortal Bumfholes gives Zimmy the pin and the win.

[B]Marc DuBois[/B]: Taking my belt is not so easy, you will find. I am quite attached to it. It will stay where it should - around the waist of the man who represents Generation Supreme.

Marquez manages to look pretty good as he flies around and gets the crowd going. Remo takes pretty much everything Marquez can throw at him, though, and he powers right through it.

You think you can just walk, Sexy? You didn't think there would be any consequences when you left me to lose the tag belts? There are always consequences. You said I changed. Well I did change. When I was off injured, I found someone who actually cared about me. Who cared about who I was as a person, not here in the ring. I found Jessie. And we didn't just fall in love, we got married. Do you think that makes me any less angry? Hell no. But it did mean I couldn't do the same things anymore. You couldn't accept that. But you couldn't tell me like a man. Instead, you abandoned me in the middle of a match. Now if you're any kind of man, Sexy, you'll face me at The Supreme Challenge. [I]Still standing on the ramp, Sexy considers this for a moment. Without a microphone, he simply waves the suggest away, then turns and keeps walking up the ramp. [/I] [B]Angry Gilmore[/B]: I always knew you were a coward, Joe. Thank you for proving it in front of everyone here tonight. [I]Sexy turns and starts to head back to the ring, clearly angry now. McClean blocks him. Instead, Sexy yells at Gilmore from the ramp.

He dominates much of the match, but the young Chord doesn't go down too easy. The match has a bit of a twist, as Chord rolls out of the way of a top-rope elbow drop from Bruce, then takes control for several minutes, trying several pinfalls. But as the fans expect, Bruce battles back. His New York Minute famedropper puts Chord down for Bruce to get the pin.

He is joined by the rest of Remember Tomorrow and they make their way back down to the ring. They stand outside the ring, watching Bruce. The champion finally takes note of them. DuBois and Bruce stare at each other. Gently stroking the SWF North American championship he is wearing around his own waist, DuBois seems transfixed by the bigger belt that Bruce holds up. DuBois gestures at the belt, that he'd like to wear it. Bruce gestures that DuBois can come into the ring and try to take it, but the young Canadian makes no attempt to take him up on the offer.

Bruce throws down his belt and readies to face his nemesis. But several SWF officials try to head off the masked monster.

The two men go after each other and give everything they have. Despite being infamous for his dirty tricks, Rich Money instead decides to keep it clean and simply tries to out-wrestle Morrisette. "Hard Cash" also keeps Chase from interfering at all. The match goes back and forth, and there are no pinfall attempts early. Money goes to brawling and it seems to work, as he takes control. But Morrisette battles back. Morrisette gets a very close near-pinfall after his Lobster Trap suplex, but Money kicks out. Morrisette tries for his finisher a second time, but Money has enough to reverse, pulling it into his own Money in the Bank German suplex. A Bank Roll followed by a Dollars from Heaven puts Morrisette down for the 3-count as Money takes the solid clean victory.

[QUOTE=cmdrsam;571747]Another fine write up. Between each show, plus your random thought of the day. I just shake my head and wander how you put out th quality that you do. Outstanding stuff sir.[/QUOTE] Comments appreciated as always. I have a "Random thoughts" post coming, likely later tonight. Not sure on the timeline for the SWF Legends show, as I'm quite eager to get it written and posted, but its probably going to be another dialogue-heavy show like this last one. Those take more time. I'm quite eager to get through to The Supreme Challenge. I think its gonna be fun. No timeline on that just yet.

Can't wait for the next Random Thoughts post and after that last show I'm really hyped for The Supreme Challenge. Keep up the great work, I'm loving your stuff!

The meeting was in the conference room of the Hilton, a nice but bland location. I arrived late and pretty much everyone was there. All the normal faces I see at meetings and a few rare ones. Louis Williams, a former manager for the SWF, is the Head of Production and only rarely attends meetings with creative. Colin Kennedy is a former SWF wrestler and now heads up the Production Design department, so I've had even less dealings with him than with Williams. Both men had several people for their respective departments at the meeting. The big table was full, with the center of the table containing a couple of large covered objects. One person was missing - Richard Eisen - and that made the whole proceedings feel awkward to me. A major meeting without the Supreme Supremo just didn't feel like a major meeting, regardless of who else was there. Especially since The Supreme Challenge was the next day. Eisen was missing by choice, however. It wasn't even a timing conflict - he just didn't want to attend. The CEO has a well-earned reputation for micro-managing when it comes to his promotion, but he's actually never been overbearing since I've been here. He is always involved but often in a bit more of a laid-back manner. I'm told this is something that has changed notably over the past few years. Many people feel this change is Papa Eisen setting up the company for when he finally does retire, and maybe they are correct. This is a meeting that Eisen chose not to attend because, in his words, he wants this to be a surprise. The boss wants to see this all for the first time the same way the fans will. Jerry got the meeting going. "No big speech," he laughed. "Just wanna thank everyone who's put in such hard work on this over the past few months. That won't be forgotten. And to remind everyone just how important these aspects are to the Supreme Wrestling Federation." About five months ago, Richard Eisen had decided that it was time to change up the "feel" of the Supreme Wrestling Federation a bit. Changing up the production set - the ramp, announcers booth, Supreme Screen, all of that - might not seem like a big deal. But even relatively minor changes like how wrestlers enter or the camera locations can change what the fans see, even if they don't always realize what has changed. Louis Williams took over the meeting at that point. His production team had worked very closely with the Production Design crew over the past few months to bring things to fruition. Williams spent some time in the mid-90s as a manager in the SWF and he could talk. Enjoyed talking, too. He talked for awhile, giving what amounted to a speech. He had notes and everything. The aim was to keep the Supreme Wrestling Federation on the cutting edge, both in terms of the broadcast and the presentation. The design had come primarily from the Production department and the Production Design sub-department. Creative had input, which mainly came from Peter Michaels and Jerry. They had even worked with the video game studio that produces the SWF Supreme Challenge video game series. They even wanted to make sure new setup would look good in video games.I knew all of this already, so it was tough to not be bored. Richard Eisen was many things, some true and some not. Ruthless businessman. Innovator. Risk-taker. Opportunist. Technocrat. Wait, technocrat? Its not something that many fans realize, but the Supreme Wrestling Federation has always been on the cutting-edge in terms of new technology. The promotion was quick to get onto the bandwagons of new technologies like High Definition Television, DVD, Blu-Ray DVD, and even the giant screens in the arenas. Pyrotechnics, lasers, and smoke was all used by the SWF before any other wrestling promotion, at least in North America. To hear Eisen tell it, all that kind of stuff is just part of the spectacle. The spectacle. That's really the essence of what makes Sports Entertainment. Many people will tell you its how you present the product, that the matches are less intense and there is more focus on the storylines, more angles. That's all part of it. But what it really comes down to is the spectacle. Making the presentation of the show all as important as the actual matches. That was the innovate idea that Richard Eisen way back in 1971. Eisen wanted to make his promotion less like a legitimate sporting event and more like a rock concert. Where its about the entire experience for the fan, not just the matches they see. Ironically, most professional sports have since gone that way as well, trying to spice up the entire event for both fans in attendance and the broadcast viewers. Back when the SWF first got on TV, wrestling broadcasts were painfully basic - usually one or maybe two static cameras filming the action, and commentary over it. From the first episode of SWF Supreme TV, Eisen offered something different. It was the superior presentation - editing between multiple mobile cameras, dramatic presentations, angles that brought the crowd into play - that made the SWF stand out immediately and party of why the SWF managed to get their show on across America. Its tough to stay ahead of the competition... when there is competition, of course. But even when you find a formula that works, you cannot simply stick to that forever, because others will copy it and eventually someone will do it better. So things have to evolve. There was nothing wrong with the current set-up, but things had to evolve. I realized that Colin Kennedy had taken over, giving a lengthy and dull explanation of what had been taken into account with the design of the new stage and ramp. I knew most of this, but not all. There were actually two versions - a larger version for pay per view events, when a larger stadium would be used, and a standard version for television events that were typically in normal venues. Both sets were modular, so they could be adapted to particular spaces. They also included modular designs for the pyrotechnic and smoke inserts. Nice design. After Kennedy's explanation, Williams took over the discussion again. He explained a bit more, then made a bit of a show as he pulled the covers off the items in the center of the table. They were scale replica models of the new stage. Impressive. Williams gave us all a "walking tour" of the models. The biggest change from the current stage and ramp setup was size. The new stage was wider and taller. Both versions included trapdoors, so that elevators could be added for "rising up" entrances. The primary backdrop for the stage was a giant Supreme Screen flanked by a series of smaller screens and lights that could all rotate. That design was modular as well, so it could be adapted in any number of ways. The centerpiece of the new design was a pair of inlaid SWF logos, one at the foot of the ramp and one in the middle of the stage. They were stainless steel and backlit, Williams explained. The announcers booth, which always at ringside now, had a new similar design, with a special "collapsing design" taken into account. "The stage and the ramp shape... it kinda of looks familiar," Jerry Eisen commented. "ALPHA-1," I answered immediately and almost without thinking. That is a habit I really need to break. "Correct," Kennedy smiled. He didn't explain further, but he didn't need. ALPHA-1 was the worlds biggest mixed martial arts promotion, though still lacking in popularity in North America. The promotion used a similar stage and ramp set up, though larger. ALPHA-1 was well known to the SWF mainly due to their epic production values and grandiose set designs that changed often. Though obviously not direct competition to Supreme, the MMA organization was the closest thing as a rival in terms of production and spectacle. INSPIRE attempted to provide a presentation similar to the MMA-based promotion and it simply didn't work as well. Everyone had questions about it. From what the surface was to how heavy it would be. Legitimate questions, but I just didn't care. I didn't want to be in the meeting by this point. Williams then spent some time explaining the other production changes that the pay per view would use. No major changes, but rather refinements. A series of high speed digital cameras were being arranged in a circle around the upper level of the arena, to capture ultra-high definition replays of significant spots. There were other things, such as some new programs for editing and such. I lost interest again as they went through this. Many of the changes would affect the TV broadcast as well, and there was going to be an effort to differentiate the "texture" of the two main shows. I understood why creative needed to know all of this, but most of it had little effect. We did few spots out on the ramp, beyond people on the ramp using a microphone to interact with someone in the ring. Wrestling-based spots rarely occurred out there. This would not change anything we were booking in the near future. Seeming to enjoy the spotlight of having a good-sized meeting revolve around their departments, Kennedy and Williams refused to relinquish that spotlight. They spent awhile talking about planned future changes, which could include adjustments to the actual broadcast presentation. Most likely graphical changes and stuff. Again, really not interesting to me. I broke down and opened my laptop. I wasn't the only one, though everyone was managing to maintain the appearance they were still paying attention. I checked my email. A bunch of new ones, as always. I looked at the newest one from Richad, which was a lengthy one. The latest response to the series of emails we had been exchanging about the "ideas" list I had submitted about potential signings. I won't say that I half-assed what I submitted, but I didn't think it was my best work. Eisen has taken to a few of the ideas and wants to run with them. To the point where the promotion is negotiating with some guys we wouldn't otherwise be looking at. As I'm reading the email from Eisen, another email from another Eisen catches my eye. Amanda. I can't help but read it. After I do, I nearly yelp with joy. Its a brief email, suggesting we meet for coffee on the weekend, maybe to discuss Henry Miller further. It takes a mighty effort to keep from responding right there. At the very least, I had to be wearing a big stupid grin. Amanda emailed me about a few days ago, just a 'hey, how's it going' thing. Completely out of the blue, as I haven't seen her or talked to her since I visited the Eisen house a couple weeks back. Not even sure where she got my email from. We exchanged a couple emails since, just fun and flirty. I was definitely interested in the girl, but I also wasn't going to ask out my bosses daughter. I'm definitely saying yes to hanging out, but what happens if it goes beyond that? Is this something that I should pursue? There are so many ways this could turn out badly... Unfortunately, the meeting still hasn't ended. Jerry Eisen, Peter Michaels, and Phil Vibert are all starting to look impatient. We still had a show to run tonight, plus that huge annual pay per view event tomorrow. Some heavy-handed glances from Jerry seemed to get the point across. As the meeting broke up, I realized that I wouldn't find the time to email Amanda back until sometime tonight. That bothered me for some reason. Its been awhile since I've been interested in a girl like that. Just been too busy, really. Plus I haven't met anyone who interested me to that extent, beyond mere physical attraction. Why was I worrying about this instead of focusing on the SWF Legends tonight and The Supreme Challenge 28 tomorrow night? I couldn't afford distraction and this was just that. Christian Faith told me that I was now part of the Supreme Wrestling Federation family. And by extension, I guess, part of the Eisen family. Just how far did I want to run with that?

News, rumors, and interviews, all brought to you by the incomparable Duane Fry.[/I] [B]Preview for podcast available Wednesday, Week 2, July 2008[/B] "Its so close now! The Supreme Challenge 28 is tomorrow. Which means that you cannot miss SWF Legends tonight!" "Expect some fallout from last night's SWF Supreme TV. In case anyone missed it, Richard Eisen announced that he wouldn't select the final participant for the Supreme Double Jeopardy™ until the actual event. Only those who win their match earlier in the night will get consideration. This decision has a lot of people talking. Especially since it means whoever will face Jack Bruce in the second leg - or Vengeance - will also be wrestling their second match of the night." "Will the decision by Richard Eisen affect the decision tomorrow night for Phil Vibert? The plan is for Vibert to announce Christian Faith's opponent for the SWF Supreme Championship. With the shot at the SWF World Heavyweight championship now up in the air, expect more wrestlers to be lobbying hard for that chance to face Faith. I have plenty to say on this." "An interesting match lined up for tomorrow night is Chris Caufield defending his SWF Legends championship against Enforcer Roberts. The veteran Robert is, of course, part of the Supreme brand. I'm told he would join the Legends brand if he is successful in taking the belt from Caufield. Some fans have questioned this, feeling that the brands should be set. This is something I'll discuss." "An intriguing pair of matches will headline tonight's show. Rocky Golden will face Steve Frehley's constant companion, Ray Diaz. While the Golden Boy will be favored in this match, its a big chance for Diaz to make an impact in Supreme. The same goes for Bloodstone, who faces Frehley. Last week, Bloodstone surprised many last week as he took a win over legend Eric Tyler. Will he get a massive win over Frehley before he faces Caufield at The Supreme Challenge 28? These are an intriguing some couple of matches." "Word in the locker room on SWF Supreme TV is that both Ace Newton and Robbie Retro are none-too-pleased that both have been left off The Supreme Challenge. Considering that both are making claims that they are the faces of Generation Supreme, that has to hurt. Not helping matters is that veteran John McClean reportedly complained to Richard Eisen about not being part of the extravaganza, after expected tag team partner Joe Sexy was put in a match against Angry Gilmore. McClean was subsequently made part of the match between Chris Morrisette and Troy Tornado, making it a Threefold Threat™ match." "The other belt not being defended at The Supreme Challenge 28 is the SWF Shooting Star championship. That's sure to have BJ O'Neill and the Samoan contingent less than happy." "Though its barely a day away now, there is still plenty to fall into place for The Supreme Challenge 28. Don't miss SWF Legends tonight on CBA!"
