RMW - Escape from New York

BYU 14 · December 22, 2012

A large, stern looking man stood poised to climb the steps to the offices that sat above The Ministry, home to New York City Wrestling. It had been a while, hell, 18 months to be exact and while he was still not sure he really wanted to be here again, a feeling of nostalgia came over him and his mind drifted away to another time………….

NYCW - Passing the Torch

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/LeeWright_zpsb2c038a7.jpg

Shaking his head Lee Wright snapped back to the present. Those images in his head, seemed like an eternity ago and much had changed. First and foremost his own life had changed more than anything. His mind drifted away again to the events following that last card in June 2011. Leaving the arena Lee was making a drive he had made hundreds of times before, back to his humble apartment in Brooklyn. Of course, after the bright flash of lights there was not much to remember until he woke up 6 days later in a Hospital bed, the victim of a drunk driver.

Though he suffered no lasting effects, beyond a mild limp, that night had effectively ended his wrestling career. Though he missed the business he had never ventured back to his old stomping grounds, afraid the mental pain of no longer being able to do what he love would dwarf the physical pain incurred during those long months of rehab that followed the accident.

Still, this was not truly the NYCW he had left. Sure, familiar faces like Bailey, Frank, Whistler and Sanders remained, but The Stomper had retired and his nephew Terry Twist, well that was a story in itself. Wright had grown to like the kid and thought his vision as a booker would lift NYCW to a place of prominence once again, incorporating the new, while embracing the old. Unfortunately Uncle Stomper was often at odds with Terry and when he retired they were barely speaking.

In a surprise move Derek ‘Stomper’ Bradford sold his controlling interest in NYCW to Larry Vessey, a man that had a solid wrestling career, but was despised by many for his actions behind the scenes over the years. Twist and Vessey often clashed heads, but when Larry decided to walk away from the ring Twist had shown him respect. Wright remembered thinking at the time that Larry might even have been touched by the Kids Olive Branch as he departed.

Nothing could have been further from the truth. The deal the Stomper made with Vessey left minor interest in the company to both his nephew and Bailey, shares that equaled value of roughly 25K each. The intent was that both would have input, while Vessey held the reigns and made the final call. Well, Larry wasted no time in returning to old form and making sure it was known he was the boss and though he gave Bailey respect there was nothing but venom for Terry Twist.

It finally got so bad the Twist told Vessey he could buy him out and shove NYCW up his wrestling tights. Larry, always the prick, made a generous offer of 25 cents on the dollar for Terry’s stake in the company. Terry, up to he task, turned around and sold his stake to Black Hat for 50 cents on the dollar, gave Larry the finger and walked away from the business, landing a job as a writer on a popular show called ‘Justified’ on the a cable network.

Vessey was angered by the move, but as he still retained a larger stake than Bailey got over it, appointing Black Hat as the new booker, then promptly interfering to the point that NYCW’s momentum came to a standstill and they settled into to their familiar notch as a small, New York based promotion………….

Wrights musings where interrupted by a familiar voice from the top of the stairs…

Bailey: [laughing] “What are you waiting for ya old broken down warhorse, we don’t have elevator service yet!”

Wright smiled and started up the stairs, one hand on the rail and one very big apprehension about to be answered.

BYU 14 · December 22, 2012

Wright entered the room and sat down at the table where his old acquaintance was sitting, with Bailey joining them. He did not expect this to be a cordial meeting as he had been supportive of Twist during his clashes with Vessey and Larry was always quick to insure no good deed went unpunished.

<div style="text-align:center;"> http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/LarryVessey_zps2483cc2d.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/LeeWright_zpsb2c038a7.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/BlackHatBailey_zpsd6f72cef.jpg</div>

Vessey: “You know you are here because Bailey pushed for this and while I still question your loyalty, I do know you have a good mind for the business and could help the company.”

Wright: “Loyalty to what?”

Vessey: “Me, what the hell, you think I forgot how you supported that punk over me? You think that just goes away, do you?”

Wright: “First off, I too am here because of Bo and loyalty has nothing to do with what happened between you and Twist. You can be a sonofa.”

Bailey: “Whoa, whoa fella’s, the show is next Saturday, nobodies marking out to this my friends.”

Vessey: “Bo, what the hell is this? You told me Wright wanted to talk to me…”

Wright: “What? I am here for Bo, and NYCW, not myself and sure and the hell not you!”

Bailey sat in uncomfortable silence, foiled in his plan to hopefully not have who wanted to meet with who come up, and now searching for an extinguisher to douse two of the shortest fuses in the business. But Bailey had this, he did after all order off of the value menu at McDonalds, which made him pretty damn smart according to the TV.

Bailey: “Haha, perfect, once again the booker gets the swerve over without even trying.”

Vessey: “What in the hell are you talking about?”

Bailey: “I set things up this way……Don’t you see, an old school feud between Vessey and Wright. It ends up with you both picking out a young lion to champion you and the culmination is a blowoff cage match where you both tag with your proteges!! The heat is natural fella’s, just had to make you both see it.”

Wright: “Buddy, you are full of it and you know it. I can’t wrestle for one and Larry doesn’t have anyone but his kid on his side! Oh never mind, who does Cameron work for again? That’s right, not NYCW because he hates you too.”

Vessey: “I will knock your head off you old washed up crippled bastard!!! Bo, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, in fact you sound like that idiot Twist now. Maybe I should ask you about how important loyalty is?”

Bailey: [showing rare agitation] “I think you need to slow down right now Larry. Yeah, that was crap, but I am looking out for the company and I know Lee can help. I didn’t know how else to break the ice.”

Vessey: “Well for one, try not using a sledgehammer to break it next time and second, what the hell do we need help with?”

Wright: “Still a stubborn prick I see.”

Vessey: “Who is about to knock you down those stairs Hop-along!!!”

Wright stands up and Vessey gets chest to chest with him.

Bailey: [Now angry] “Enough!!! Things have got to change or we will get left behind and you need to listen Larry! And Lee, for god’s sake, I want you here because I respect you. You are brilliant and you have a vision for the future, that’s why you grew to like Terry.”

Vessey: “If am done hearing that name Bo, when he walked he became dead to me. Vision!! Huh, all he cared about was trying to topple me and that’s why you two brokered that little deal for his stake, not realizing that I had controlling interest no matter how the other shares were split. You think I don’t know, you think I am blind?”

Bailey: “I think you are paranoid and selfish and I think you deserve the reputation you get after trying to force Terry out and then undercutting his stake with a horrible low ball offer.”

Vessey: “At last the truth comes out. The good natured Bo Bailey finally getting it off his chest. You are one tough sonofabitch in the ring and one spineless jellyfish in the locker room Bo, over a year and it takes your old crony here to give you the balls to speak up. Well let me tell you what, I do have friends in the business and don’t need people like either of you. Bo, you don’t like how I do things here I will write you a check right now and you can hit the bricks you ungrateful bastard!”

Bailey: “And you can go to hell if you think you are going to undercut me like you tried to do with Terry.”

Vessey: “Undercut? You know what, since you got me on a good day” Larry moved swiftly to his desk and ripped out a check from the ledger, scrawling furiously “Here you go Bo, full value, fifty thousand dollars for your stake. Smoke it, burn it, shove it up your ass, I don’t care, just get the hell out of my company!!!”

Bailey looked at the check, showered Vessey with a few choice words and stormed off with Wright hot on his tail…….As they left The Ministry it was Wright showing a rare sense of humor as they walked into the cold New York winter.

Wright: “Well, I think that went quite well Bo, I am glad I came.”

Bailey kept walking and hollered back over his shoulder as he rounded the corner and shook the check over his head. “We are not done yet Lee!!”

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/LeeWright_zpsb2c038a7.jpg</div>

Watching the December snow fall outside his apartment had always been relaxing for Lee Wright. Despite his well deserved image as a though guy, as he got older he found simple things like this much more rewarding. Listening to classic rock CD’s, a glass of wine (a taste he had never shared with the boys) and stretched out in his lazy boy by the window.

Suddenly the strains of ‘The Temples of Syrinx’ by Rush were interrupted by his phone ringing….

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/BlackHatBailey_zpsd6f72cef.jpg</div>

Bailey: “Good afternoon Buddy, I told you we were not done and it’s now time to start a new chapter.”

Wright: “Let me guess, Richard Eisen wants to meet with me now and have me go over Steve Frehley for the strap?”

Bailey: “Ah, no everybody knows you’re an old cripple now, even better. You my friend are now the head booker of a wrestling company!”

Wright: “Come on Bo, I don’t have the stomach for these shenanigans anymore, my settlement money is dwindling and I need to start looking for serious work so I can save some money for retirement. Just cut the crap please.”

Bailey: “You don’t seem to get it Lee, I took that check that Larry put it into my own company!”

Wright: “What? You really are nuts….And where did you find a promotion to buy for 50 grand?”

Bailey: “Well, it’s this little indy fed based on Utah, they were doing shows every 2-3 months around Salt Lake City, called themselves Beehive Wrestling. I bought the promotion lock, stock and barrel for 10 grand, which was my life savings, and I am putting the 50 thousand from Vessey into the promotion. I have renamed it Rocky Mountain Wrestling and we are going to go to a monthly show and eventually start doing some business in neighboring states.”

Wright: “I am speechless, what the hell are you doing?”

Bailey: “I am doing what I have always wanted to do, owning my own business so I can bring in the folks I want and do things the way I know they should be done and you’re going to be part of that! Listen, they already have a few young kids working for them with some potential, heck this kid Ernest Youngman, going to be a star. Got a few other solid kids too and I have already started making calls to bring in some more talent and get this thing rolling in January.”

Wright: “That’s great and all, but I live in New York and have no plans to move anytime soon.”

Bailey: “Already got your plane ticket for next week, gives you time to get your apartment listed and you can just stay with me while it sells, then..”

Wright: “Bo…Stop! You are asking me to leave my home, fly across the country to a place you can’t even buy wine….er, I mean beer on Sunday’s and take a chance on some back woods company that was running shows on the undercard of rodeos every three months?”

Bailey: “Whoa, it is actually nice out here and they were running at a local Elks club and did you say wine?”

Well, the power of persuasion, curiosity or just plain a plain old middle aged crisis and a week after the call Lee Wright was touching down in Salt Lake City, Utah, the new head booker of Rocky Mountain Wrestling. Bailey called Wright before he left and let him know they had a full roster and were set to start monthly shows in January according to plan, though he would not share who was on the roster.

A short ride from the Airport to a small office in an industrial area west of the city and Wright was about learn all he needed to know and more. For the second time in a month, Bailey had talked Wright into meeting about returning to wrestling, only this time he was 3000 miles from home without a plan B or a clue as to why he could not shake wrestling from his blood, even when he knew he was playing a fools game.

Bailey: “You made it, get in here and sit down, we have a lot to do in the next 2 weeks old friend!”

Wright: “Why am I here? Do I even know any of the guys on the roster? And can you finally share it with me now that I have left my home, traveled across the country and will die homeless in the streets if these young bucks you rave about can’t put asses in the seats.”

Bailey: “Wellllll, they are not all young bucks. I did get Cal Sanders and Tex Tagan and a couple of old buddies of yours from NYCW.”

As if on cue there was a knock on the door, followed by an entrance before either of them could say come in.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/DazzlingDaveDiamond_zpsf039e2dc.jpg</div>

Triple D: “Well twist my nipples and call me happy, Lee Wright in the flesh! Woooeeee, I ain’t never laid eyes on a finer sight…..Well, except last night at this place downtown called the Iron Horse, man, I saw this young Filly, she had legs for miles, went right up and made an ass of themselves, haha, ya’ll get it?”

Wright: “You know Dave, I always thought someday you would outgrow your obsession with weird phrases and ring rats, but like death and taxes, Dave Diamond stays true. How old are you now again?”

Triple D: “34 years old and still running like a young buck during rutting season, yes sir!”

Wright: “I was about to say, seems like you have not matured a day over 20.”

Triple D: “Well thank you Mr. Lee. I surely appreciate ya saying that. Hey now, I gotta run y’all, going back to being Heel like you wanted Black Hat and I just been a Baby for so long it's just too damn hard not to be all irresistible. Got some practicing to do, I’ll see y’all later!”

Dazzling Dave left with the same redneck aplomb that Wright had grown so ‘fond’ of and he could only shake his head as the door slammed shut.

Wright: “Please tell me he is not going to be at the top of the card?”

Bailey: “Oh you know you love that old country boy and yes. We are not exactly starting out on a big time budget here my friend…..We are young and inexperienced.”

With that Bailey slid the roster over to Wright, who hardly tried to hide his dismay, as he read the list of names and where they were slotted.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/RMWRoster_zpsd627c6e7.jpg</div>

Wright: “A lot of work is an understatement, this is a who’s who of who the hell are you and ones that I do know would have a hard time getting past mid card in NYCW. I need a glass of wi…er beer.”

Next came Black Hat's goals

2 years - RMW can not fall into debt at any point - Critical (and hard)

2 years - When time expires RMW must have gained popularity in America - Critical

1 yr, 8 months - Cannot hire or extend anyone with known problems with the law - Average

1 yr 2 months - Cannot hire anyone classified as a psychopath - Average (sorry Boone)

glad you got Buzz Reid real cheap because my experience so far is he absolutely sucks in the ring. Youngman, Sanders, and Glenn should give you a solid midcard. Your main event, outside of Gauge looks a little weak though.

Yeah, I am worried about the main too, I need to get some of the young guys elevated real quick, or start making some money to bring in another top heel that can work. I like Brayfield as a manager too, he is cheap and does good work ringside and can cut a promo, definitely a bargain guy who can help the guys with poor charisma / mic skills.

Black Hat Bailey makes his way into the arena, staring into the eyes of each person in the sparse crowd as he goes. “Well, well, well. Seems you morons need to get the word out that there is a new sheriff in town. You can call me Black Hat Bailey, or Mr. Bailey, or Boss, or better yet, don’t even talk to me because I could care less what you have to say. You see, if any of you sheltered, raised like a Veal geeks where men and women, and I use the latter very loosely, like you all are, know a thing about wrestling, you would know.”

“You would know that I come from the New York City, NYC, pretty mean when it wants to be…And that while there, I led the baddest, most dangerous crew in Manhattan. We ran that town and ran all that opposed us into the ground. And now, I am here to run this one horse pony express pit stop of a pathetic city and add another notch to my belt of conquests.”

An elderly lady stands up and calls Black Hat a jerk

“Grandma, you better sit down before I come slap those wooden dentures out of your mouth and the termites in this god forsaken excuse of an arena carry them away for dinner. But I digress, you see, you simpletons don’t know what real wrestling is and I am about to show you. In fact, I met a rather nice young hayseed backstage who was verrry respectful. He even called me Mr. Bailey, not a jerk like this old blue haired bag here. Sooooo, I am going give him the pleasure of being the first to learn what real wrestling is……Josh Jones, get your butt to the ring boy.”

In a bout that had a good crowd but featured terrible wrestling, Black Hat Bailey defeated Josh Jones in 6:41 by submission with a Bailey Breaker after blatantly cheating. – Young Jones was no match for the grizzled veteran who choked him, gouged him and finally forced the submission after clocking him with a black jack.

Boss Man Brayfield, Giant Brody, Outlaw Wes Revell and Tex Tagan make their way to the ring, as several in the crowd gasp at the size of the hulking Brody.

Brayfield: “Well how do you do Salt Lake City, land of the free and home of nothing worth mentioning. Now, being a died in the wool Texan I am used to the biggest and the best, which pretty describes nothing y’all have here. This is why me and the boys here have decided to set up our own little homestead. Yes sir, the Double Cross ranch is herein Rocky Mountain Wrestling and you and everybody else will soon learn. You cross us, it comes back double!”

The fearsome looking stable leaves to a chorus of boos as Giant Brody threatens to backhand several who venture too close to the rail, causing them all to back away judiciously.

Sponsorship better be good and Bailey and Wright will need to get this promotion above local inside of 6 months or it will be 50 grand Black Hat might as well have used as bird cage liner. Worker costs along where 11K and I will need to cut down on the number of guys I am using live, since I was cheap on the downsides. Triple D and Youngman are both a B in momentum, the trouble with D is finding guys he can work well with on this roster, Youngman on the other hand can have a solid match with about anybody.

D- is actually fairly good, given you probably are at F popularity with that attendance level. ( of F- if you started as a 0/0/0/0 instead of Rockhard

)

If you did start Rockhard, another show like that should get you to small and a bump in sponsor ship, but yeah, 11k is too much. And at least 1700 of that is your announce team, which you really don't need until you have tv

Wright: “Well, let’s have it, I have got 2 offers on my apartment, I can still go home if they are coming to get the furniture.”

Bailey: “You my friend are turning into Larry Vessey without the hair plugs, read it and weep.”

Bailey slid the ledger for January across the desk……

Wright: “How the hell can that be? We made $607???”

Bailey: “You will notice the sponsor column there.”

Wright: “What the, $11,587, how in the world did you pull that off?”

Bailey: “Connections and of course the ability to cut a great promo, among other things.”

Wright: “I’ll be damned, this means in a couple of months we can boost the top end of the roster and I know just who to get…”

Bailey: “Hi Tex, what can we do for you?”

Tex: “Well, not to be ungrateful, but this pre-show autograph signing you want to do next month, I really don’t feel like it. These friggin fans drive me nuts, dumb questions, pictures, sign this, hold my kid, I really don’t like being around them.”

Bailey: “Well, the fans do kind of decide how much money you earn Tex.”

Tex: “Yeah, yeah, but other guys are just more social than me, let Pilgrim take my place, he loves talking, can’t ever shut him up, Dave too, he is like a one man bingo parlor he makes so much damn noise. If I have to hear another story about some rat he ba..”

Wright: “Tex! We know, tell you what, we will set it up so someone else is signing and you come in and jump them, that work?”

Tex: “I suppose.”

Wright: “And don’t think you’re going to make a habit of these types of demands all the time, we cut the checks, you dance to the tunes we play, understood?”

Tex nodded with a grunt and walked out

Bailey: “That man is really not person is he? One everywhere you go. Now listen, I want to cut next month’s card to 4 match’s on the main card, save a little money, because like you said we need to improve our main event players and I think Larry would be more than happy to help us………”

Both men laugh as Bailey slides the card across the desk for Winter Wasteland.

Really great start. Good backstory with the two vets trying to get the wrestling world moving in the right direction so to speak. I have to agree with AJ, DDD charecter is very good. Nice little touch here and there for Lee too, he's not something I remember ever being used extensively on these boards, it's interesting to see how he will be portrayed.

Tennessee William vs Outlaw Wes Revell

In an extremely poor match, Tennessee William defeated Outlaw Wes Revell in 12:30 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. During the match we also had Boss Man Brayfield distract Tennessee William. – Tennessee William fights fire with fire, as Brayfield hands Revell some brass knuckles and then distracts William, who manages to duck Revell’s swing, take the knucks and knock him out as the Lavin is pre-occupied getting Brayfield down off the apron.

(These two have great chemistry)

“Please return to your seats, put down your O’Douls, cause we all know y’all can’t drink a real mans beverage like a Texan, and bow your heads in reverence. Dear Lord, you are grateful to be here today to witness the biggest, baddest man in Rocky Mountain Wrestling, Giant Brody, lay claim to the United States Title. We pray that Greg Gauge has life insurance, because by signing his contract he has crossed the line to the entrance of the Double Cross Ranch. And we all know that when you cross that line, it comes back double and Gauge, what comes back to you is going to hurt like a bear boy!”

Greg Gauge vs Giant Brody – RMW United States Title

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Greg Gauge defeated Giant Brody in 15:56 by pinfall with a fast roll up. Greg Gauge makes defense number 1 of his RMW United States Title. – Brody rag dolled the Champion from pillar to post and seemed to have things going his way as he hoisted Gauge up for a choke slam. Gauge landed a desperation kick south of the border, then followed up with a small package roll up as Brody bent over, barely escaping with his title and his life.

Have to admit this one is disappointing as I was sure the first show would have boosted the crowd for this one more. Biggest issue right now is another guy at the top of the card that can match Gauge in skill and the ability to work a good match and pop a crowd, but I am sure Bailey and Wright will figure something out

Really great start. Good backstory with the two vets trying to get the wrestling world moving in the right direction so to speak. I have to agree with AJ, DDD charecter is very good.

Wright: "Bo, we lost over 7K in February and this is why!" Wright points to $8,400 in miscellaneous fees under expenses. "What the hell is all this, did you give Dave Diamond a company card? I mean what besides drugs and escorts costs this much?"

Bailey: "I am at a loss Lee, I know we had some legal fees, letting our announcers go with a little stipend and other stuff, I wil need to get a breakdown. Maybe its a bug?"

Wright: "A bug, bug in what? Grasshoppers are bugs, this is an F'n disaster. Did you have Adam check to see if there was some glitch in the finance program."

Bailey: "No, I trust his program, just some sloppy cash management, but we will be fine. We are still 43K to the good and I think we will generate some positive cash this month."

Wright: "Not with another outhouse main event like we had at Winter Wasteland, Brody was the drizzling sh*ts working with Gauge and we need somebody who can bring some real heat! Listen, I know you don't want to go there, but we need to contact a couple of old friends."

Bailey: "I don't want a war Lee."

Wright: "And I don't want to be living under a viaduct with a 'Will Wrestle for Food' sign in June if we don't fix it. Wrestling is a dirty business Bo, you know it as well as anybody. Sometimes you have to be the guy outside the ring that you are in it.....If you are afraid to fail you need to not be afraid to piss people off sometimes!"

Bailey scratches his chin, looks at the wall and lets out a big sigh....

Bailey: "Make the call brother."

Brayfield: “You know, maybe it’s just ‘lil ole me, but to think that somebody would have the gumption to attack one of the Double Cross family, then compound that with the stupidity to think they could actually get away with it without us finding out? Ya’ll know this just boggles the mind of the Boss Man. Ya see, my hands reach into many pockets and I already know who took liberties with Giant Brody, sooooo. Ya’ll can show your face now of you can pay double later!!!”

You see, Honest Frank, and this is for the benefit of those in attendance who may not be familiar with the word integrity. Honest Frank always tells it like it is, calls it like he see’s and does it quite like nobody else can.”

Frank continues to stroll to the ring, finally reaching the apron as Revell and Tagan struggle to hold Brody back. Frank pauses, then climbs the ring stairs and rests his arms on the ropes.

Frank: “Giant Brody, so much anger, so little knowledge. Size and no substance, a head without a brain and sorry, but that’s just the truth. And of course as we all know, sometimes the truth hurts and truth is, you were not undeserving of a shot at the premier title in this company. Hey, I’m just being…pun intended….honest with you and if you think the truth hurt backstage earlier. Just wait until you see how the whole truth feels.”

Frank steps through the ropes and stands alone in front of the Double Cross Ranch

Revell and Tagan release Brody’s arms and as he steps toward Frank, Brayfield winds up and clocks him from behind with his cane. Instantly Frank, Revell and Tagan go to work, beating the Giant to the mat as Brayfield retrieves a chair, handing it to Frank who obliterates Brody. His work done, Frank shakes hands with Brayfield, who raises a microphone.

Brayfield: “I reckon I owe you a piece of the truth Brody. You see, the family set you up to take the US title from Gauge last month and you let us down. And to quote the scholarly man at my side, truth is we can’t have that. Now, I don’t know how you feel right now Brody, but I have to imagine you are hurting….Well, Frank already said it, so let me just add this. Consider yourself disowned by the Double Cross Family.”

Brayfield and Frank leave the ring laughing with Revell and Tagan in tow.

Sanders snapped and sent Frank scurrying to the floor after a two fisted assault that brought Brayfield onto the ring apron.

“Once again I am here to deliver the truth to the uneducated masses in Salt Lake City, Utah. You see, you all worship a false idol, a paper tiger, a man who does not deserve to call himself a Champion! Greg Gauge, you know that truth is you came here, to the bush leagues, because you could not compete for the laurels of a major league organization. The problem is, your Valhalla is now exposed to the truth and the truth is my arrival now takes this pathetic collection of punks and has-beens from the bushes to the big time! Which means I demand that you relinquish your title to me in the center of this ring.

Now, you can bring your belt to me now and walk away in one piece. Or, you can put it on the line at Rampage in the Rockies next month and lose it the hard way and maybe, just maybe, not walk away at all.

Happy with the show overall and way things are going, but the crowd is still not growing and we are heading for another big month of losses. Tennessee William fractured his cheek bone taking the Dazzle Drive off the ring apron, but will work through it.

Melvin Otto and KC Glenn have formed a strong friendship backstage, so perhaps an eventual program is in order for them.

That poor Brody was dumped the hard way. We can almost shed a tear for him, almost

At least now, you should have some appropriate opposition for your champion with Frank.

I like your roster, but if you are still at local level, its way too expensive.

Even at small, depending on what Bailey is giving himself as the owner, and what Frank probably asks for, is a good chunk of change.

( by comparison, in my TPW dynasty, the highest amount I pay a month is 690 ppa for my road agent, and wrestler wise, 550 ppa. And I only brought the more expensive wrestlers in when I hit small with the increased sponsorship. On my local roster, no one cost me more than mid 300's ppa.

This looks like an interesting diary. Looks like a fun promotion to build up.

I love Black Hat Bailey. Been a fan of his since TEW04. I used to edit him so I could use him in the ring for NYCW. Sometimes I did the same for Rip Chord, and Sam Strong too. Loved using the old guys in a role that mimics veterans who never want to give up the stage lights.

Good luck. I will check back as this diary goes on.

Yeah I took a big gamble that I would hit small by this point, which would have made it doable. The bad part is to get Gauge as cheap as I got him I gave him wage matching, so when Frank came in guess what? The only redeeming thing about Black Hat is no downside, so I just won't use him until we start making a profit, which hopefully is soon.

Also, the miscellaneous costs are killing me ATM

Thanks for following along, I have plans for Black Hat down the road for sure, just need to start making some more money to use him more

Prior to Rampage in the Rockies things are not going well. Marchs losses were $8,201, the crowd for the event looked like it would be the smallest yet, Giant Brody had just stormed out in a fit after being told he was being released following the show, and now Gram Gorman stood before Lee Wright after nearly coming to blows with Honest Frank backstage.

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/LeeWright_zpsb2c038a7.jpg

Wright: "What the hell is wrong with you Gorman? You get in the face of one of the most solid guys in the industry and try and provoke him into a fight? How do you possibly think this was going to play out in our favor?"

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/GramGorman_zpsef4e7088.jpg

Gorman: "Hey I just want to make sure I get mine and Nigel comes in here and suddenly thinks he is the star of the company, forget us guys who have been busting our asses for the company. I just don't like getting buried."

Wright: "You dumbass, busting your ass for 2 months? Buried? Gorman, you really think if we buried you anybody not named Rover looking to dig up a bone would even miss you you sorry sonofabitch? Nigel is a repsected veteran who you could take a couple of lessons from in professionalism. He has done more for RMW in one appearance than you will do over the rest of your contract!! So help me god if you ever start sh*t with him again you and I will be the main event at RMW Office wars and it will be a straight shoot, you got that jackass???"

Gorman: "Whatever...."

Wright: "Whatever? Well whatever are you going to do with 25% less pay tonight, cause that's what I am fining you. Want to cop anymore of an attitude with me you sullen little prick?"

Gorman: "Can I go now?"

Wright: "Yes and the faster the better and damn you Gorman, don't even think about tanking your match tonight!!"

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x32/Kidbrit/Puresim/TEW%2013/BlackHatBailey_zpsd6f72cef.jpg

Sitting quietly behind his desk Bailey smiles....

Bailey: "Nobody could ever tell you worked for The Stomper."

Wright: "Except i am a helluva a lot better looking."

Bailey: "Kind of like comparing a mud puddle to cold sore....."

The two old friends leave to go to the locker room, Wright still steaming

Remmy Honeyman vs The Pilgrim

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Remmy Honeyman defeated The Pilgrim in 8:35 by pinfall with a Flying Legdrop. – Good old school match, with The Pilgrim again undone by his desire to play to the crowd and demonstrate just how smart he is, which again costs him at the end.

Ernest Youngman and Melvin Otto are backstage, apparently discussing KC Glenn.

Youngman: “Dude, focus, listen to me. Glenn is the one you hear in your head.”

Otto: “Voices, they hurt, Glenn…..So much noise..”

Youngman: “Quit rambling and listen to me. The key to making this stop, is to do what I say..”

Otto: “Key? Keys to drive cars, Glenn has keys…”

Youngman: “Yes you drive cars with keys, what the hell? Dude forget driving, focus here..”

The two unlikely cohorts vanish into a locker room with Youngman working desperately to keep Otto on whatever evil task he is concocting.

Dazzling Dave Diamond comes to the ring with a very certain agenda.

“Kentucky Bill, Y’all know that I am the Rhett Butler of wrestling and The RMW Tag Team Belts are this southern dandies Scarlett O’Hara. So what do you and that filthy hillbilly you team with do to the dazzling one? Y’all done me dirty that’s what, Tennessee William throws himself off of the ring apron, when I, a true southern gentleman was trying to spare him from harm. Then as me and my partner are standing their concerned over his health, you have the gumption to sneak attack Buzz Reid and steal your titles out from under my nose!!

Now a man like myself, used to the finest things in life, smoking imported Havana Cigars with Willie Nelson while Carrie Underwood rubs my shoulders, things y’all have no clue about. A man like myself………Will not be denied what rightfully belongs to me, so I am telling ya to get yer yellow hide out here and tell these Yankees who the most spectacular wrestler in RMW is, admit yer a skunk and give us a return match for the Tag team belts!”

Gram Gorman & Josh Jones vs The Texas Outlaws

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, The Texas Outlaws defeated Gram Gorman and Josh Jones in 11:49 when Tex Tagan defeated Josh Jones by pinfall with a Lariat Clothesline. – A solid back and forth brawl with Tagan taking out Jones with a brutal clothesline as Revell and Gorman brawled outside of the ring.

Kentucky Bill comes out and addresses Triple D.

“Diamond, listening to you preach about justice and honor is like listening to Kat Williams talk at a DARE meeting. I tell ya what partner, I don’t care how many times you’ve dreamed about Carrie Underwood rubbing your shoulders or how many times you’ve rifled through Willie Nelson’s trash looking for a Cigar butt to finish. And, I hate to break it to you, but a double wide trailer on 2 acres is not a plantation!!

But what I do care about is the RMW Tag Team belts and what I do know is……They belong to Tennessee William and the man you’re looking at and since you injured my partner last month, the only way you are going to get another shot is to beat me. So you can have a match tonight, buts it’s just you and me boy and if you win we will talk about a rematch. If you don’t, then I’m just done talking to you. So come on down boy!!”

Kentucky Bill vs Dazzling Dave Diamond

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Dazzling Dave Diamond defeated Kentucky Bill in 11:45 by pinfall with a Dazzle Driver. During the match we also saw Buzz Reid run in and attack Kentucky Bill, and Tennessee William also attack Triple D. – This one was all over the arena as Buzz Reid got involved early, but Tennessee William appeared to even the odds. As referee Lavin tried to get William to the back, Kentucky Bill set Diamond up for the Kentucky Derby Bulldog, but Reid slid into the ring and dropped Bill with some brass knuckles. Diamond delivered the exclamation point with his finisher just to seal the win.

Honest Frank graces the audience with his presence ahead of his match with Greg Gauge.

“A time of great change it upon us!! No, they are not giving you ignorant cretins your GED’s if you can pass a urine test. Hell, most of you probably think a urine test is something you have to study for anyway.”

The sparse crowd cuts loose with a verbal barrage, but Frank only sneers.

“Tonight, when I beat Greg Gauge it will be about revolution and change. It will be about taking RMW out of the back alley bars of Salt Lake City and starting it on the path to relevance, something most of you will never realize in your pathetic lives. Hey, I don’t make the rules, I just make the truth clear and unfortunately, when your IQ is lower than the number of teeth in your mouth…….the truth, much like your Dentist bill……..hurts!!!”

In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, KC Glenn defeated Ernest Youngman in 14:07 by pinfall after a distraction from Melvin Otto. KC Glenn wins the RMW Intermountain title. – The ever cocky Youngman turned the tide in another competitive bout between these two, but as he has Glenn on the verge of defeat Otto came sprinting to ringside, holding up Glenn’s car keys and rambling about driving and urging Youngman to follow him. As Youngman looked on completely baffled, Glenn hit a reverse neck breaker and at pinned him to take the belt!

Ernest Youngman is furious after the match and goes off on Otto. “Dude, what the hell are you doing, you were supposed to make sure this didn’t happen, then you are waving keys and babbling like some Rain man on drugs, what is your deal you crazy freak?”

Otto: “Got keys, pretty, jingle keys, we can drive now, KC’s keys, you said keys…”

Youngman: “You’re insane and you cost me my title, get the hell away from me!!!”

Otto looks at the crowd dejectedly and Youngman rewards with a chair shot to the head before storming off.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Honest Frank defeated Greg Gauge in 17:57 when Greg Gauge was disqualified when Giant Brody ran in and attacked Honest Frank. – A solid back and forth affair, with Gauge taking the early advantage with his superior speed and athleticism, but Frank found a way to seize the upper hand as would be expected from a veteran of the sport. With Gauge on dream street, Frank went for the Frank-n-Hurter, with Brody breaking it up at the last minute, slamming Frank, then exiting through the crowd as Frank was given the win, but no belt. A small measure or revenge for Brody on his way out of the company.

Overall Rating E+ (Popularity increases in 1 region)

Our attendance down to 26 and another big month of losses pretty much solidifies the fact that we will not hold a show in May as even with the downsides, RMW will at least make a profit. Hopefully 2 months between shows will spur a bigger crowd for Parade of Champions in June.
