From Champagne With Love: A Story Of Discovery And Triumph

WYSmooth · January 27, 2018

The Supreme Challenge, Main Event & That Night

As the new members of the Billion Dollar Club exited the limos in the back they all seemed a bit happy, besides Tom Gilmore who seemingly was having second thoughts about the group and Heel turn - yet, not even he could deny how much heat they drew.

Emma was met by her boyfriend Frederick Garcia, the two have been dating since around March of last year. 'Ripped' Forrest Ratzloff and 'Johansen' Nick Booth were pumped that their debut in SWF came in grand fashion.

Santana caught up with Marquez, "That match was almost as good as mine with Lothario at Wrestle Aid '88," he said jokingly, at least Marquez thought he was joking. "I've never seen anything draw so much heat," the new Joe Money said to Marquez.

"This is just the beginning. We should get some drinks tonight," Emma said to the group while hugging her boyfriend, "Beside you two, of course." She jokingly says in the direction of Haley and Lisa who both are pregnant.

The group returns to the locker room to a group of applause as the next segment had just begun.

Despite being an egotistical heel - on camera and in the locker room - Dakota Williams was putting the Billion Dollar Club's actions over as being, "Going too far," while Jack Bruce and Jessie Pearce were being helped out of the arena to make way for the main event.

Lau hadn't used the Dragon Slayer in two months leading to Supreme Challenge, Remo submitting to it was a big deal - despite rumblings around Remo making sure he was protected to put Lau over - using his Creative Control to ensure that's how it happened.

A great exchange was he and Margaret Roman exchanging trash talk during the match and she not showing fear. The crowd was still buzzing from the Billon Dollar Club segments, which may have hurt the feel of the match.

The PPV and TV broadcast came to an end with Faces flooding the ring, Marquez applauded the effort from Lau. He had been made aware once he was signed that Lau would take the title tonight, putting a wrap on his eighteen-month story of getting to this point and the addition of Roman as his trainer.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/R1XV23Q.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/R1XV23Q.jpg'</a> />

The post-show celebration was recorded for SWF Total Access, the locker room gathered around the go position to watch Lau celebrate the victory with the crowd amped by his achievement. Remo despite his manipulative nature was quite humble and said, "He deserves it," once he got to the back.

***

After the show, Marquez had a small cry with his sisters Olivia and Mariana who reminded him how proud their mother would have been, prior to thanking him for all that he did for them growing up. Jennifer, Fuerza, and Mexicano managed to hold tears back - Marquez wasn't sure about Mexicano who did adjust his mask several times.

Marquez did see Art Reed in the back, Reed is currently running Fire Kingdom Pro Wrestling - the SWF Developmental Territory in Japan. He, Benny, and Tiffany were checking on Greg Black who seemed to be struggling with some leg pain.

***

Despite everyone needing to be ready for Elite tomorrow, seemingly the entire roster and their guests went out to party. Jerry Eisen rented out a luxurious Los Angeles club so the group could celebrate the show without worrying about the wrestling media getting involved.

Even with SOTBPW and TCW having PPVs tonight, there wasn't much buzz about anything outside of Supreme Challenge. As the Billion Dollar Club members enjoyed glasses of champagne, Jennifer on more than one occasion let Marquez know what was going to happen once they got back to the hotel.

***

Several hours into the celebration Jerry came over to Marquez who broke away for a moment and was sitting at the bar chatting up the bartender about what those in the United States call soccer.

"All of creative is having a meeting tomorrow around one in the afternoon. You should come and sit in," Jerry says towards Marquez, "That wasn't a part of the Creative Control in my contract," Marquez responds slightly confused at the suggestion.

"Oh yeah, it's not about that. I want to hear your thoughts on some things. It will be good for everyone to see you, especially after that match tonight," Jerry replies in an upbeat fashion, "Eh, I was slightly off and my shoulder slowed me down a bit," Marquez says critical over his own performance.

"After the heat you got, only the pure wrestling dirt sheets will have any criticism about the match. Trust me, you're good," Jerry replies patting him on the back.

As Jerry walks off Marquez shrugs his shoulders before taking a sip of his Corona.

<div style="text-align:center;">Between Chapter Chat</div>

First off (let me say I'm drunk of sh...ah Childish Gambino),

But really, I wanted to thank everyone for reading and the feedback thus far. I really didn't expect it to be popular, but I'm glad the story has been well received.

A few notes on some things from this chapter. I'm actually playing the game as I write the dynasty (I'm still sitting on August wk 1 Monday 2017 the day after Supreme Challenge). So, when I did the entry of Adrienne at Marquez at dinner then Remo came in the lobby upset about Spade...I had no idea he was about to turn his tag team partner (when Spade was promoted I put him in the Velocity tag team with Brett Biggins as an individual unit and gave Biggins a Veteran type gimmick and the "Classic Brett" nickname thrown onto him by Spade), his long-time manager Emmy, and four or five others against Spade.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with Remo. That's only the second time that's happened. Nate Johnson pulled that with Madman Dube (Ricky DeColt) after I brought him in to team with Bobby Thomas.

<div style="text-align:center;">Background, Teasers In Chapter 2:</div>

Here is the entry in question with some other hints I put in.

Did you catch that Bruce The Giant is a trainer (1st time mentioned) in the "Relaxing After The Show, Are They..." entry. Is in RIPW. The same entry about Remo and Spade and not knowing ahead of time. Also, the episode where Billion Dollar Club was hinted at.(<a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2269785&postcount=13" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2269785&postcount=13</a>)

(<a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2269709&postcount=12" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2269709&postcount=12</a>) In the "Is That An In-Ring I See?" It was Emma Chase on the phone with Marquez, they were instructed by SWF Creative to not speak in person, but had been passing off ideas on the Billion Dollar Club. Only Emma, Gilmore, and Marquez knew prior to SC, the other members found out when they were told to file into limos with specific attire an hour prior to the pre-show.

Also, early on I left in the notices about Billion Dollar Club Takeover during the first couple of appearances for Marquez. I was hoping someone would notice and start asking questions.

Also, concerning the Billion Dollar Club. I had the idea for them forming in February 2017 game time when Gilmore pinned the at the time Crippler in a 3 Way for Bruce's SWF World Heavyweight Championship at Nothing To Lose. Gilmore dropped it the next month to Remo at Awesome Impact (A side angle since I began in January 2016 game time was that Gilmore could never beat Remo).

The idea was for Bruce and Gilmore to have a build-up to Supreme Challenge and then Billion Dollar Club would form and beat down Bruce. Well, that changed once Marquez signed in late April and it was mentioned in a conversation between Marquez and Gilmore in the story, "Sorry about getting your Supreme Challenge match moved." Instead they had their match at Times Of Trouble and Bruce went over instead of losing. I wanted him to be strong going into Supreme Challenge where Marquez beat him.

When Marquez was signed that's when I had the idea of bringing Chase back from behind the booth and be the mastermind behind it. Wealth & Success have been managed by on-screen girlfriends Andrea Alexis Winters and Lisa Marie Gorgeous (Daughters Of Fortune) and were doing Away From Arena pieces for several months at Elite, hinting on big plans while at fancy parties around the world.

As mentioned on Supreme Challenge Gorgeous and Winters parents are wealthy and helped finance Billion Dollar Inc, and there will be more on that later in the story.

After the next entry, I will do a short podcast-esq entry that will be unlisted on YouTube for members of the board and I'll talk about the overall universe and other things going on.

Lastly here is the comparison of Supreme Challenge 36 and 37.

Creative & Getting That Heat

<div style="text-align:center;">Chapter 3: Heat, Money, & Champagne</div>

Supporting Cast

Jerry Eisen: SWF Senior Vice President, Creative

Billion Dollar Club Members: Heat Magnets

Adrienne Hewitt: On-Screen Character, Actress

Jessie Pearce: On-Screen Character

Kristen Pearce: On-Screen Character

<div style="text-align:center;">SWF Creative Team Members</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Walter Yeates, Head Writer: Thirty-year-old mocha skinned hotshot who was the lead writer of the Supreme Brand during the brand split. He is responsible for pitching SWF Total Access and the Billion Dollar Club. Richard Eisen has made it clear he'll be gone if either fails. Jerry Eisen trusts his opinion and doesn't usually get in his way. He grew up a fan of Puroresu and Lucha Libre, his vision of presenting the journalism side of wrestling and treating it like a sport was influenced heavily by Japan and Mexico. He came on SWF's radar through a novel focused on wrestling and some of his other online work. He has been with the team since Jerry Eisen was promoted to Senior VP in September 2015.

Elizabeth Kochell, Assistant Head Writer: The twenty-six-year-old screen writer from Los Angeles was also brought into the SWF when Jerry Eisen was promoted in September 2015. She was the head writer of the Elite brand and has been pushing hard for a woman's division - which Richard Eisen wants no part of. Walter and Jerry agree with her, but nobody has been able to move Richard's opinion. She is strong in her opinions and doesn't mind speaking up. Is known to dye her hair exotic colors. Grew up a big fan of wrestling and is known to still watch AAA and QAW.

Angelo Jimenez, Writer: He is forty-five and former was on the CLLM creative team from March 1999 - June 2008 (prior to that he was a backstage hand at OLLIE). He began a podcast in Spanish after being fired, he moved to Texas in August 2012 and began working with several indie promotions and was given the book of several. He was hired by Jerry in January 2016. His influence has been important in helping the company to expand in Mexico and opening the Supreme Wrestling University in Mexico. He's often quiet in meetings. He will most be responsible for the three new B-shows. During the brand split, he aided Jerry and Walter with Supreme.

Gabriel Leon, Writer: He is fifty and was a booker and promoter for several large French promotions in his home country. Many familiar with the French scene say he is responsible for turning France into a wrestling hotbed. However, Leon is hard to get along with despite his booking brilliance. He was hired in November 2015 and moved from France to the states. He mainly works on the three new B-shows and ruffles the feathers of the rest of the team. During the brand split, he aided Jerry and Elizabeth with Elite.

Mason Boustani: Was also hired by Jerry Eisen upon his promotion in September 2015. During the brand split, he was responsible for the writing on the Uprising brand. He is forty-five and is the voice in the room against adult content. He was on the creative team of WWWE for five months before their closing in 2001. Since then he had a stint on the USPW creative team from June 2008 - March 2013 and has had columns on a number of wrestling journalism sites. He doesn't get along with Clay Clinton due to their differences in product tastes which led to several arguments. He is working the three B-shows with Angelo and Gabriel.

Sam Keith, Creative Consultant: Keith is in-charge of running the MAW developmental territory, Head Trainer at the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp, Agent for several other indie promotions, and plays an on-screen character for SWF. Starting August 2017 he became a Creative Consultant and will sometimes sit on creative meetings or send in notes when he isn't present.

</div>

Prior to the party ending on Sunday night, Jerry gave a speech where he thanked Benny Benson, Jack Bruce, and myself. I wasn't really sure what to make of it, I wasn't that happy with my performance during the match.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/3llobt5.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/3llobt5.jpg'</a> />

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/SL8PpbI.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/SL8PpbI.jpg'</a> />

It came out later that Skull again helped out his protege on some things prior to the show. I guess it's good that he's keeping him focused since he's still in Jerry's doghouse a bit.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/DbvP6LJ.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/DbvP6LJ.jpg'</a> />

Jennifer woke me up early as she had to get back to Mexico. The SWF rolled out the red carpet and escorted all the guests to the airport. I went along with her, Fuerza, Mexicano, and my sisters in the limo to the airport. It was nice to see them, even though the distance seemed to be weighing on her.

When arriving back at the hotel I looked to see what the dirt sheets were talking about.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/QTKeE0a.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/QTKeE0a.jpg'</a> />

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/foJSfh8.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/foJSfh8.jpg'</a> />

"...And bloggers from around the internet and podcast world. Our own Shondra Taylor took a job at Supreme Independent News and we wish her the best," Marquez said as he finished reading the entry, "Creative is serious about this move. I guess I will sit in on the meeting today," Marquez finishes.

His phone buzzes and it's a text message.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/QBIqCQk.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/QBIqCQk.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Check your account. Good work lord of Champagne.</div>

Marquez checks his account and is surprised to see an extra $30,000 had been deposited from SWF. He had heard about Jerry giving large bonuses, but wasn't expecting anything extra on top of what was in his contract.

***

An hour later, slightly before Marquez was going to head over to the LA Pyramid for the show he noticed a lot of chatter on his Chirper. Evidently, the Supreme Challenge bonuses had been leaked by the less than ethical Real Wrasslin Newz site. They are known for being the tabloids of the wrestling news.

Marquez decided to look to see if the numbers were even accurate.

While not every bonus was released the leak we received did contain information stating SWF spent $409,200 on total bonuses that were not contractually based.

"..Well..They got my number correct. Why do sites like this even exist," Marquez says before he tosses his phone aside on the hotel bed.

***

Marquez is sitting surrounded by the vaunted SWF Creative Team. Jerry Eisen and Walter Yeates sit at the heads of the table. On either side sit he, Elizabeth Kochell, Angelo Jimenez, Gabriel Leon, Mason Boustani, and Sam Keith. Jerry is currently going through some information.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">I gave Bruce a month off, he took the change in advertising direction fairly well. He's probably not the best face for the digital audience and SWF Total Access..He did tell me that he was going to mostly be in Hawaii and keep working at the University during his off time.</div>

Walter Yeates interjects.

<div style="text-align:center;">Walter Yeates

About that, don't we have two new graduates from there? </div>

Jerry taps the desk.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen

Ah yes, correct. Let's take a look at them really quick.</div>

Jerry makes a few clicks on the laptop in front of him projecting the two rookies information on the projector. The group turns and looks at them.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/yfeSQx7.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/yfeSQx7.jpg'</a> />

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/KqCHX9Y.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/KqCHX9Y.jpg'</a> />

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen

They're both reporting to RIPW tonight...Don't worry about Foster, they're going to clean up his look.

Angelo Jimenez

What about the kid from the University in Mexico.</div>

Jerry taps the desk again and makes a few clicks, changing the presentation on the projector.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen

This is why you guys make the big bucks. [Towards the projection] White Panther gave him the name, El Gato Cosmico. He's reporting to CSWF to work there. He could be something in a few years.</div>

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/cv7TfhR.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/cv7TfhR.jpg'</a> />

The group talks for several moments before Elizabeth directs something towards Marquez.

<div style="text-align:center;">Elizabeth Kochell

You know by all my projections you are top draw right? The heat you and the Billion Dollar Club last night was unreal. The internet hasn't stopped buzzing.</div>

Elizabeth makes a few clicks on her laptop which projects data on the screen they are all focusing on.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/rjjsH3O.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/rjjsH3O.jpg'</a> />

Mason speaks up in a frustrated tone at the mention of Billion Dollar Club.

<div style="text-align:center;">Mason Boustani</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">It's all too much, especially what's planned tonight. What about the kids who are fans?</div>

Walter and Elizabeth collectively roll their eyes. Angelo sighs and leans back, Jerry puts his hand on his chin with an "Oh this again" expression on his face.

<div style="text-align:center;">Gabriel Leon</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Hear him out...

Walter Yeates

[To Gabriel] We've heard it. [To Mason] We're not in Mexico or Japan, Angelo keeps tabs on what products are trending in both, Risque is down in both regions - but not here. SWF isn't for kids, this has been well established. The approach you want is why USPW won't hold up and why WWWE failed.</div>

Jerry looks like he's enjoying this, as he's heard this before. His eyes bounce back between Walter and Mason.

<div style="text-align:center;">Mason Boustani

Why does everyone always bring up the WWWE when this comes up...</div>

Elizabeth interjects.

<div style="text-align:center;">Elizabeth Kochell</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Cause it failed...</div>

Mason rolls his eyes.

<div style="text-align:center;">Mason Boustani

It got bigger than where we are, something was going on. I'm just saying we should consider it. [To Marquez] You have to agree, right?</div>

Jerry moves his eyes over to Marquez, a slight smirk on his face.

<div style="text-align:center;">Antonio Marquez

I helped add some thoughts to the concept. We're not going too far, and there's no doubt that we've captured the attention of the world.</div>

Mason throws his hands up in defeat.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen

Antonio is right, I haven't seen that kind of heat in a long time. Almost got to Professor Nero levels...Also, we all saw the Pay Per View numbers. [Points to Marquez] This man is a draw and with everyone in that group they are going to make this company grow beyond our expectations.

Walter Yeates

With the aid of Total Access...</div>

Jerry, Elizabeth, and Antonio laugh with Walter who wants credit.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry Eisen

As long as dad doesn't get in the way of that too.</div>

Sam Keith speaks up after intently listening for a bit.

<div style="text-align:center;">Sam Keith</div>

Yeah, I know how that goes [Laughter in the room]. In all seriousness, everything is heading in a good direction. I love Women In Charge group, I'll be able to easily be their foil. Those women do great work and can get over.

The group continues in the discussion for around twenty more minutes going into booking detail concerning the King Of The Sky tournament, upcoming shows, and events.

***

After the meeting Marquez walks into the locker room, Gilmore still seemed a bit upset about the Heel turn, yet his bonus made the blow a bit easier. The atmosphere was much better than during the brand split, with so many Agents around they were able to stabilize the environment.

Marquez got together with The GGP, Robert Reginald Preston, Andrea Alexis Winters, Lisa Marie Gorgeous, Emma Chase, Stacks Gilmore, Justin Sensitive, Breston Blonde, and Joe Money. They spoke about further ideas for Billion Dollar Club while the rookies Ripped and Johansen were off being rookies somewhere.

"This is going to be far better than anything the Chase Agency did," Emma said during the conversation, being pleased that Jerry Eisen is letting them push the envelope as they see fit.

Frederick Garcia came over and playfully joked with his girlfriend during the discussion, "Why can't I join," he asked. Emma replied with a laugh, "You're a Face..we'll probably beat you up soon."

***

Several hours before the show, the drug testing results from last night came in. Jerry had enough and decided to relax on the weed fanatics and just gave Turner Trigg a slap on the wrist. Oddly enough Trigg came back out of a meeting with Jerry and joked, "I think I have to wrestle Remo on Supreme tomorrow..."

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/z7bonHY.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/z7bonHY.jpg'</a> />

The dirt sheets also got wind of Black's injury. However, he was in much better spirits backstage and was glad Jerry didn't take him up on the release request.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/jkYKmo5.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jkYKmo5.jpg'</a> />

Marquez was impressed with how well those three could work a crowd. The announcement of the eight team Chaos Trios Championship was something they went over in creative and he hoped, "Ah, reminds me of Mexico." They also put over Bruce as being 'hurt' and not on vacation after the beating he took from BDC. They also told the crowd that the eight-person King Of The Sky Tournament would begin next week on Elite with the finals at Summer In Mexico City where the finals of the Chaos Trios Belts will be also.

They also got a roar from the crowd as they announced Supreme TV would be moving to three hours starting tomorrow and with a new broadcast team since Emma decided to lead BDC.

They also went into Marquez and Stack Gilmore. They spoke about their disappointment in Gilmore and that they had no idea how Marquez and this group were getting approval for their actions and would go to the board. Krissy dropped the, "And Krissy Says That's Signed And Sealed With A Kiss" which got a roar from the crowd. Prior she mentioned there were not current announcements regarding contenders for the SWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Finally, they congratulated Mikey Lau and said he'd have a press conference later tonight and put over that it would be shown fully on SWF Total Access.

***

Several members of Billion Dollar Club were preparing for their first segment of the show. Wealth & Success, Daughters Of Fortune, & Billion Dollar Detail were not included in this piece. Offices are only so big...

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/1SRkBp1.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/1SRkBp1.jpg'</a> />

Krissy told Marquez there was no way he was getting a title shot after what the group did to Bruce and Jessie, who has a slight concussion. She also mentioned Remo asked for a meeting through Keith and she'll tell him that no decision on contenders has been made. Angel jumped in and said that every member of the group was being kept out of the 40 person Jungle Royale at Welcome To The Jungle and being fined $30,000 for the attack which caused the Billion Dollar Club members to laugh, "Want me to write a check now," Marquez expertly threw back at her. Krissy did say that Marquez, Gilmore, and Money would be in the Chaos Trios tournament which is starting tomorrow on Supreme, yet she wouldn't tell them their opponents. Marquez smirked and said, "Alright, that's fine."

The segment ended with Joe Money flipping through bills in several envelops he had with him. He put them on Angel's desk, "This covers half of our fine, it's my pocket change," before leaving the executive offices while laughing.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/gaLdVhN.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/gaLdVhN.jpg'</a> />

Marquez missed the segment, but evidently, John Greed says he deserves an SWF World Heavyweight title shot for having been Uprising Champion up until the last day of the belt. The Heel Sam Keith (Head Of Talent Relations) said he'll see what he can do for him tomorrow.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/mr9aPWI.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/mr9aPWI.jpg'</a> />

There was a talk at the meeting about Ronald Rage (The Brigadier) moving to an Agent role at least until the end of his contract. Thorn blamed him for turning on Chris Morrisette. Dube was going solo to show off his complex character and get a push higher up the card, while House Of Thorn gained Poundstone in their ranks. Thorn ended the segment by looking at Broken, Etano, and Poundstone and saying, "This team will take the Chaos Trios Championship."

Marquez was impressed how Lau and Roman work together. The Sirota line, "Are You Really Sure You're That Great," seemed to catch on. Rogue in the back laughing near the end was also a nice touch. While he wasn't told in the meeting what the main event of Welcome To The Jungle would be, but they were clearly building to something interesting with the show only three weeks away.

***

The Billion Dollar Club en masse came out from the back with Emma explaining to the angry crowd that they were taking over the wrestling industry and that the investors wanted to make sure Marquez could defeat Bruce before they committed. She even said now that they were all on board that the Daughters Of Fortune would soon take some time away from traveling in order to handle the finances of the group.

Marquez also drew heat by beginning by saying, "You may call me...Champagne Delight," along with bragging with how 'easily' he defeated Bruce. He also hinted that the General Manager Krissy Angelle would soon regret not giving him a title shot. Which led to Ripped and Johansen putting down the briefcases they came out with, exiting the ring with Emma and going over to the announce desk....

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/qerVvg6.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/qerVvg6.jpg'</a> />

Ripped and Johanson grabbed Clay Clinton as even the Heel Dakota Williams started to protest and tried pulling the hands of Ripped and Johansen off of Clay.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'</a> />

Leave him alone! He's not a wrestler!</div>

Emma immediately walked up to Dakota and drew tremendous heat.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nAG0eeu.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nAG0eeu.jpg'</a> />

Sit your ass down bitch! You will be next unless you learn your place...Don't you dare look at me! Sit down! Sit down! Good girl...Let's never have this discussion again...Waste of skin...</div>

The crowd threw all kinds of heat at Emma while Clay was being rolled into the ring by the Billion Dollar Detail. Dakota was mostly silent but did say.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'</a> /></div>

[Tearing Up] I may cheer for different wrestlers than Clay...I may make fun of him...but this isn't okay....He's not a wrestler...Please don't hurt him...

Once Clay was in the ring, Emma was helped back into the ring by the Billion Dollar Detail. Marquez handed the microphone over to Stacks Gilmore which drew extreme heat after what he did to Jessie. Breston and Justin pushed Clay into the center of the ring and Stacks walked up to him.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'</a> />

So Clay, I was told that you had a lot to say last night. Am I correct? Is there anything you'd like to say to me right now amongst friends?</div>

Gilmore leans the microphone towards Clay as anticipation builds in the crowd.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/4KgsGDH.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/4KgsGDH.jpg'</a> />

You damn right there is...You're a craven son of a bitch...no MAN would ever do what you did to Jessie last night..and by GOD...</div>

Stacks pulls the microphone away and brushes Clay's index finger off from the chest of his money suit. The crowd exploded and began chanting, "Clay" as all the members of the Billion Dollar Club beside the Billion Dollar Detail begin laughing.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'</a> />

You sure that's what you want to go with right now? Last chance Clay. </div>

Stacks puts the microphone back in front of Clay's face.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/4KgsGDH.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/4KgsGDH.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">I wish your mother would have spit you out you no good piece of sh....</div>

The crowd roars with cheers again as Stacks again follows by pulling the microphone away from Clay's mouth. He seems bothered as the face of Joe Money says, "Really?" Marquez who is wearing fancy sunglasses just shakes his head. Wealth & Success both straighten their collars as Gilmore rubs a hand over his bald head, looking slightly agitated.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/MBKlpGW.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'</a> />

[Full Tears] NOOOO!!! WHY?!!?!</div>

Yep, Stacks grabbed and hit Clay with his Limo Ride, Front Russian Legsweep. The crowd again begins to throw thrash as the loved Announcer is down face first. Marquez sighs into the microphone before handing it to Emma. He directs Ripped and Johansen to set him up as Stacks and Money implore him to go to the top rope.

The Billion Dollar Detail guards extend Clay's arms and legs and hold them as he is face down on the mat as the crowd just lays into the Billion Dollar Club. As Marquez reaches the top turnbuckle he looks directly into the camera, with his sunglasses still on.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'</a> />

This is all on you Madame GM...</div>

Marquez then turns to the ring and flies high in the air and nails Clay in the center of his back with the Champagne Flight high altitude Frog Splash while in his formal vest attire. His sunglasses stay on as he immediately pops up and sucks in the heat. Money and Stacks direct Ripped and Johansen to get the briefcases. This time the two veterans point at Robert Reginald Preston and The GGP and telling them they get to do the honors.

The crowd explodes into even further jeers as Wealth & Success cover Clay Clinton with the Billion Dollar Offering, a plethora of bills fall from the suitcases and cover the Announcers lifeless body. Dakota is heard balling into her headset as Clinton doesn't move.

The group immediately assumes the same position they did last night and Emma hands, Marquez, the microphone again.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Bow your heads everyone...</div>

The crowd is booing with extreme vigor.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Dear Money Gods, please bless the middle and working class with riches that they will then trickle up to us because they are stupid and undeserving.... Please accept our cash offering!</div>

The members of the Billion Dollar Club raise their hands in the money symbol, rubbing their fingers together, besides the two Billon Dollar Detail guards who look out to the angry crowd! After the symbol the Daughters Of Fortune, Winters and Gorgeous sit on the back of Clay Clinton who was covered in money and pose seductively. Breston Blonde and Justin Sensitive pretend to snap their pictures as the crowd rages.

Marquez again flicks the microphone in the air as the group begins to file out of the ring, having to again dodge garbage from an angry crowd. Dakota can be heard flinging down her headset as they leave. She rushes into the ring and begins throwing the money off of Clay and she screams out.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/a9xCVkK.jpg'</a> /></div>

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/uLS9SxC.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/uLS9SxC.jpg'</a> />

The show ends with the Heel Dakota Williams crying and cradling the motionless Clay Clinton as the medical team and Agents begin running from the back.

After the show, SWF.com immediately released the following statement:

<div style="text-align:center;">Due to the nature of the attack on Clay Clinton we have decided to not upload any of the footage to SWF Total Access.</div>

Thirty minutes later Andy Scoops Editor of Supreme SWF Scoops posted the following on SupremeSWFScoops.com with the mentioned video:

<div style="text-align:center;">We at Supreme SWF Scoops were able to obtain the footage of Clay Clinton being loaded into an ambulance with a distraught Dakota Williams. Watch at your own risk.</div>

***

After the show, Marquez went out for drinks in the bustling downtown LA scene with members of the Billion Dollar Club, who were booed. Jerry had a security detail dressed like the Billion Dollar Detail lead them towards the club and stand outside until they were done. Jerry figured it wouldn't hurt to give local indie workers a payday to roleplay for a few hours.

Inside the club, the group was again surprised with the heat they received to close out the show. The young Robert Reginald Preston said, "We've got something special," after a few drinks. The rest of the group definitely agreed. Gilmore was starting to come around and realized that they started off extremely well.

Supreme TV & LA Week

The Supreme Challenge week in Los Angeles continues on Tuesday with Supreme TV at the 16,000 capacity Greater LA Convention Center. Marquez woke up rather early considering he spent the previous night out with fellow Billion Dollar Club members. He took advantage of the hotel's open weight room which looked out on a beautiful LA waterfront. He got some running and lifting in. Now more than ever, it was important for him to keep the strength up in his shoulder and the rest of his body.

While the talk of steroids has always surrounded the two-hundred-thirty plus pound Luchador with good athleticism and seemingly endless amounts of stamina - Marquez has never ventured to those dangerous grounds. The veterans who helped him early in his career made sure he would hit the gym and the ring, knowing it would help him stand out in Mexico - which is known for a plethora of Luchadore's between 160 - 185 pounds.

They were correct and their aid helped lead Antonio to millions of dollars, a trophy case full of awards, and legions of fans around the world. As he was leaving the gym after his workout he checked his phone.

<img src='

https://i.imgur.com/jspZ4xk.jpg' />

This is a shot from set what do you think?

Adrienne decided to attach a picture of her walking around a pool with wet hair from an obvious scene from the movie. That would have been innocent enough if she were wearing more than a tiny bikini. She had quickly sent a follow-up text.

<img src='

https://i.imgur.com/jspZ4xk.jpg' />

I've been working out hard btw...

Marquez thought it would be best if he didn't text anything back right away, as Adrienne was making her flirtation obvious. Of course, Antonio was impressed...he just didn't need Adrienne to know that...yet.

***

After arriving at the arena four hours before show time. He, Gilmore, and Money had a quick meeting with Black Hat Bailey concerning their Chaos Trios Tournament match that night. Again, the backstage atmosphere was so much better with the increased number of Agents and Locker Room Leaders together.

Marquez did receive some glares from Eric Eisen, which were largely ignored by Antonio who was in the middle of a conversation with Krissy Angelle, Rudy Vazquez, Louisa Angel, and Cassandra Clausen.

***

The show began with Drake Richards being introduced as the new Color Commentator for Supreme TV, taking over for Emma after she joined the Billion Dollar Club. The short segment would be followed by a long in-ring to set up things leading into Welcome To The Jungle.

Women In Charge were cut off before they could go into what Billion Dollar Club did to Clay Clinton at the end of Elite, which Antonio liked.

***

Emma was brilliant and refused to speak about Clinton and avoided answering questions about possible punishment from the SWF Executives. She did famously respond, "Billion Dollar Club does as it wants," when asked what the groups planned to accomplish in the SWF.

***

Marquez watched the match after getting dressed for his segment and match later in the show. They didn't squash Trigg in the match, but it was definitely part of his punishment for being busted with weed...again. It also seemed as if Fry and Richards played off each other extremely well.

***

This segment was pretty much just everyone sitting around the Billion Dollar Club locker room and talking about the match later and how it was unfair they weren't informed of who their opponents were.

***

Marquez saw this as art imitating real life. He had spoken to both Jessica and Tom about this aspect of the story and both were cool with it. Jessica was actually thrilled to team up with her sister for the Pearce & Pearce Firm that came together. Juzo and Yoshino had evidently been working for nearly a year in RIPW to help the Developmental talent there improve, they weren't asked to go to training sessions and definitely earned their way up into this storyline by being unselfish. The Emperors Of Roppongi also had a cool ring to it.

***

Dance Baby Dance, formerly known as Discotheque were making their debut after being in RIPW on Developmental deals for nearly a year. They and Robbie Retro were able to get the crowd behind them with various dances in their entrance. DBD's new gimmicks seemed to be centered around dance enthusiasts who were masters of all dance.

The group did like the limo entrance as it puts an exclamation point on the corporate feel of the stable.

While not a domination Antonio, Stacks, and Money were told to handle most of the match with Lords Of Dance getting in some entertaining hope spots. However, the match came to an end with Joe Money hitting the Money Roll and Marquez following up with his high altitude frog splash, Champagne Flight - moving Billion Dollar Club to the semi-finals which will be held at Welcome To The Jungle against the Pearce & Pearce Firm of Edd Stone and the Emperors Of Roppongi.

***

Marquez didn't go out after the show but did notice Jerry and Spencer Spade quickly headed off to the airport in deep conversation. Antonio had no real plans for the rest of the week and decided to stay in LA and receive multiple massages for his shoulder, relax around the hotel, and get some training in.

The week went by slow and Jennifer and he had several conversations. She was still relegated to small B-shows and the local shows mostly for SOTBPW. He finally did have a phone call with Adrienne which went quite well and incident free despite the tension between the two.

Not much went through the dirt sheets either. Wednesday saw the most interesting stories.

<img src='https://i.imgur.com/K84xeyd.jpg' /

Gilmore did mention he had been back on a Yoga, Meditation, and workout routine that he actually learned while in Japan and that it was helping his body a great deal.

The only other news was the retirements of The Great Hisato and Awesome Kiyaru. Hisato had been suffering a number of injuries and Kiyaru wanted to call it quits after a long career. Marquez had watched tapes of both early in his career in Mexico, impressed with how talented both were.

On Saturday Night he boarded on a late night plane on his way to Elite, where the Junior Heavyweight King Of The Sky Tournament was beginning.

Manipulation & Did That Just Happen?

It's Thursday night Wk2 of August 2017. Marquez has just arrived at Jerry's extra house in Connecticut. Not long after arriving from the airport after being in Minneapolis, Minnesota from early Sunday to earlier today. He sits shirtless on his bed with a cell phone to his ear.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/jspZ4xk.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jspZ4xk.jpg'</a> />

Has all that really gone down this week?

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg'</a> /></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Let me send you this link, read what he said yourself.</div>

***

Marquez immediately crashed when he got to his hotel on Sunday morning and didn't wake up until the night. He spoke to Enforcer Roberts and Elizabeth Kochell concerning his segments for Supreme TV. Other than that he ate got in some cardio for heading back to sleep.

On Monday he woke up early and went directly to the Arrowhead Coliseum, where he ran into the Pearce sisters who were already backstage and finished a yoga session with Krissy Angelle. Once the brand split ended it was the first time the two had the opportunity to travel together.

It was the first time Antonio had seen Krissy without Rudy in weeks. The three made their way over to him and they had a long conversation about work, Kristen's travels (which took her to Mexico for a few months), and more about Marquez and how he came to fame. While Antonio isn't egotistical he doesn't mind speaking to colleagues about his story, family, or how he rose to fame in Lucha Libre and then around the world. Kristen was grateful to Marquez and said that him coming to SWF will probably lead to her getting a sizeable raise.

Marquez did say that she didn't need to thank him, but he's definitely glad to help out when he can.

***

As Elite was within an hour from beginning Jerry was walking around backstage seemingly distracted by something. Drake Walker the head of Talent Relations was walking with him - the two were clearly discussing something of importance. Marquez was speaking to The GGP and Robert Reginald Preston about some of their transitions in the ring when he noticed the two walking by.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/5L4JTqw.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/5L4JTqw.jpg'</a> />

Sam Keith was playing in on-air Talent Relations role well, despite his extremely busy schedule. The show was led off by Dakota Williams and Clay Clinton speaking about the attack last week with Clay being passionate about his parents being proud of going to work and earning their pay. He wasn't going to let them down because his back hurt. This followed SWF Total Access footage with Dakota helping Clay down the ramp to the desk at ring side. All helped get the Billion Dollar Club over even further.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ur9kSkd.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Ur9kSkd.jpg'</a> />

Marquez watched this with the rest of the Billion Dollar Club members, evidently, Elizabeth Kochell was behind the look of these meeting segments and Walter Yeates with the Press Room segments. Antonio told the other members he liked the feel of these pieces.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/RjtyGMx.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/RjtyGMx.jpg'</a> />

Marquez had already prepared himself for the press conference on Supreme TV tomorrow, the cameras would be shooting the entire time with the additional footage going on SWF TV. The group was dressed for their upcoming segment and Joe Money for his main event match against Edd Stone and Justin Sensitive for his King Of The Sky match.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/8Njvtcp.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/8Njvtcp.jpg'</a> />

The segment went well with Ripped said to be standing outside guarding the door with everyone else inside the locker. Stacks got himself over as this new money type heel with saying he already signed the divorce papers and will keep 'Jessica' in court for years.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/CXV1ce2.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/CXV1ce2.jpg'</a> />

It's no secret backstage that Justin Sensitive lacks in some areas in the ring, but his charisma and mic skills make him a valuable part of the show. His backstage personality lights up the locker room as he is one of the nicest and caring individuals in the entire business. He and Goldenlocks (Hugh de Aske) were able to have a good match which Johansen played a key roll in.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/EbKeSlr.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/EbKeSlr.jpg'</a> />

After the show, Joe Money wasn't pleased with his performance and was starting to think age has taken its toll on him in the ring. He was cheered up by Breston who said he'd get him drinks tonight.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/G8kr9tL.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/G8kr9tL.jpg'</a> />

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/7on02GP.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/7on02GP.jpg'</a> />

***

Several hours after the show, Jerry and Drake were spotted at the "Blaze, Smoke, & Fire" bar in downtown Minneapolis where a large percentage of the locker room was getting together to drink tonight and tomorrow. They were going over some things off in the corner, they went through several drinks without cheering up. Marquez enjoyed his night and had a nice conversation with Squeeky McClean who knows the business in and out.

***

Marquez woke up around noon on Tuesday and went to get treatment on his shoulder through the trainer who put him through a thirty-minute training regimen. Afterwards, he called Jennifer and they spoke for about half an hour as she was on her way to the Guerreros Del Anillo SOTBPW B-Show. She had a busy week as she was to appear on a local indy show on Wednesday that had ties to SOTBPW before having to attend the Lucha Libre, SOTBPW Friday show.

***

Marquez grabbed lunch with Madman Dube (Ricky DeColt) who was slightly isolated backstage due to politics played last year by Nate Johnson - even Adrienne has a slight resentment towards Dube. This was the first time Antonio spent time speaking to them, but the two bonded over Italian food - which is Marquez's second favorite cuisine.

***

Marquez arrived at the arena four hours before Supreme TV was to begin. The Press Room was already prepped for him and the reporters were getting prepared. Marquez had a short conversation with Black Hat Bailey concerning the press conference, basically telling him that there still wasn't a script and that he was free to take whatever course he wanted.

A lot went on backstage prior to the show, Marquez was shocked at how positive the atmosphere had become.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/GxHR0b2.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/GxHR0b2.jpg'</a> />

Marquez was excited to hear that January Kyle was joining SWF, she created a name for herself in Mexico as a great talent. He didn't have the opportunity to speak to her backstage, but he made a mental note to catch up with her soon.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/qPqODtd.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/qPqODtd.jpg'</a> />

***

Due to the nature of the press conference, Marquez didn't get to watch much of the show.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/X2O1sk7.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/X2O1sk7.jpg'</a> />

Now, this is how to start a show, Marquez thought to himself after the previous SWF Total Access spots.

***

At the "Blaze, Smoke, & Fire" bar after the show, Remo decided to use his wallet to manipulate more against Spencer Spade. This time Marquez stayed the entire night, just to witness the lengths Remo would go.

Remo would spend over $2,000 in drinks on Sophie Sweet, Reggie Rush, Reed Revolver (Marc DuBois), Scythe DeBones, Aziz Landor, Byme, Broken, Duane Fry, Joe Money, Margaret Roman, Jamie Sirota, Hailey Hellrider, Donte Natural, Benny Crane, Kurt Laramee, Dwayne Flair, Bobby Thomas, Darren Smith, Thorn, and Roxy Joplin at the bar while spreading his slanted version of what he thought about Spencer Spade. Emmy, Brett Biggins, Marshall Dillion, Tiffany Strange, and Matthew DeVille were also gathered taking in the drinks are stories.

Roxy Joplin took it so far to confront Spade and cause a minor incident, which led the two to have strong dislike between one another. Spade played it cool and left the bar at this point, knowing Remo had turned even more against him. Marquez had a few words with him before he Spade left. Remo again left with Emmy and a sense of accomplishment on his face. Marquez was bothered by this level of petty politics and spent the night watching the scene develop with Black Hat Bailey, Stacks Gilmore, Emma Chase, Frederick Garcia, Skull DeBones, Andrew Rawls, and Matty Faith across the bar.

***

Marquez woke up early as he wanted to check out the Mall Of America with Krissy Angelle, Jessica Pearce, Kristen Pearce, Frederique Garcia, and Emma Chase. All of which were contractually excluded from House Shows or weren't need on the Wednesday show in Delaware.

As this was his first time in Minnesota, it was the first time Marquez had the opportunity to go to the Mall. The group dressed down as to not be recognized and spent the morning in the gigantic mall.

Marquez saw some news break as he checked out the wire after getting back to his hotel.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Kej7era.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Kej7era.jpg'</a> />

Tasuku Iesada replaces Danger Kumasaka as PGHW Head Trainer. Kumasaka left at the end of July after his contract was up. Many insiders point to Kikkawa getting Iesada the position after his recent signing to PGHW, which seems to be logical with how close they are.

There were also some rumors being spread which Marquez completely brushed over. Instead, he got a small workout in at the gym inside the hotel, had lunch with the same group from the mall. Krissy was a little down that El Cortador (Rudy) was working the Wednesday and Friday House Shows this week and they were apart.

For dinner, the group went out and had Japanese before heading back to their hotel for the evening.

***

Marquez woke up in the morning to several texts from those in the locker room and some members of the press asking about the news which was just made official.

Evidently the rumors yesterday were true....

Eric Isn't Short For Words (August Thursday Wk 2, 2017)

Wrestling Journalism

International Federation For Wrestling News

by DeAndre Allison

<img src='

https://i.imgur.com/n5I4oFV.jpg' />

Several hours ago I had a conversation with Eric Eisen after he confirmed that he asked for his release from Supreme Wrestling Federation yesterday. Eric began at the company in June 1996 - his father Richard Eisen opened the SWF in January 1972.

The following transcript is reflective of the on the record portion of our conversation. For interests of transparency, we did speak for another thirty minutes off the record where Eric did go into further detail concerning several of the following topics and others.

DeAndre Allison

Can you explain exactly what happened and motivated you to ask for your release?

Eric Eisen

I was sick of how things were going in the locker room. I was being blamed for incidents, I wasn't receiving the push I deserved, and it was becoming clear that Jerry (Jerry Eisen, Head of the SWF Creative department, Senior Vice President, and Eric's brother) wasn't going to look after the family.

DeAndre Allison

What do you mean by look after the family?

Eric Eisen

[Audible laughter] Dad (SWF Owner Richard Eisen) always made sure of certain things when others were running Creative. For some reason he allows Jerry to run the promotion as he sees fit. I've made the company more money than anyone over the past twenty years, and I shouldn't be treated as an afterthought. I literally gave my knee for that company and went through 14 months of rehab after reconstructive surgery. Jerry not respecting my sacrifice was rather insulting.

DeAndre Allison

Do you think Jerry is the correct person to lead SWF in the future? Is...

Eric Eisen

[interrupting] I won't speak directly about that on the record, but I will say recent events should give a clue as to how I feel about the job he is doing.

DeAndre Allison

Okay, what does your dad think about the situation?

Eric Eisen

[silence for several moments] Yeah...I won't talk about that on the record either. You will have to ask him...

DeAndre Allison

Have you spoken to him about this and your feelings?

Eric Eisen

Absolutely.

DeAndre Allison

Since the new creative team came into stability around January of last year...

Eric Eisen

[Laughs] They were right, you do know everything.

DeAndre Allison

[Laughs] I try to have accurate information. But, since that time the product has received great reviews and your work with the Power Structure has received a lot of praise. What specifically were you upset about?

Eric Eisen

I was traveling the road doing House Shows, yet Jerry didn't ever think it to be a good idea to put me in the main event scene for more than a month at a time. My last two runs with the newly named North American Heavyweight Championship were literal transitions to guys he wanted to push - I shouldn't ever be a champion for less than a week, let alone twice. Those were issues among others that I won't talk about on the record. I will say that I was making that company (SWF) a lot of money and they will miss not having me featured on the product.

DeAndre Allison

What's next for you? Are you going to spend more time with your son Eason? Are you retiring? Opening your own promotion?

Eric Eisen

[brief pause] I have some ideas that we can speak about off the record. I'm definitely not done, not even close.

Barbs, Drama, & Business As Usual

What a week this is, Marquez thought to himself while in 1st class on his way to Spokane, Washington for Elite, then to Portland, Oregon for Supreme TV. This is his heaviest travel week since joining the company. Jerry wanted everyone to be at the first Wrestling Day show on Wednesday in Iowa, despite the small locker room. Marquez didn't mind as he likes the new atmosphere in the back. It was only Saturday and his travels were just beginning.

***

Once Marquez arrived at his hotel on Saturday night he checked the dirt sheets and there was a leak concerning SOTBPW and USPW in a competition over the services for Big Smack Scott. International Federation For Wrestling News, TEW.com, Going Over Wrestling Journalism, and less reputable sleaze sheets were all discussing the situation.

Seemingly Jerry wasn't interested in giving Scott Sinclair a big offer, which makes sense after Eric's departure put an end to Power Structure. From his time around Scott Sinclair, Marquez didn't develop a positive impression of him.

***

Marquez went out Saturday Night with Breston Blonde and Justin Sensitive. The two developed an entertaining tag team called Just Plain Beautiful during the brand split and continue their entertaining Personal Stylist (Blonde) and Lackey (Sensitive) gimmicks within Billion Dollar Club - the rest of the members were either sleeping, getting treatment, exercising, or dealing with family matters and didn't come out.

Antonio learned that Adrienne was correct about Breston, he is a pretty good guy. He didn't bring her up - which saved an awkward conversation from occurring. Marquez was struck by Sensitive, he was one of the best people he's spent time around in wrestling business.

They spent four hours between two bars and mostly talked about the group while Blonde and Sensitive picked his mind about the industry and what he thought they could do better to improve.

Marquez pitched the idea of the entire BDC group going to his mansion in Mexico sometime soon to discuss ideas and to train.

***

Sunday was mostly a relaxing day for Marquez he lifted weights, did some cardio, and rewatched his Supreme Challenge match against Jack Bruce. Jessica Pearce stopped by his hotel room with her and Stacks 13-year-old son Jonathan. He's traveling with his parents for the week as he goes back to school the 4th week of the month.

Johnathan is a huge fan of wrestling and is wrestling while in middle school and also takes Judo classes. Stacks came by and nothing was weird with him or Jessica as the four had a nice talk and would have lunch together.

That night he caught reading his latest epic fantasy book.

***

On Monday Marquez got to the arena early. The team was preparing for the first SWF Nightmare show and he walked past Jerry speaking to Madman Dube and Jessica.

From what Antonio gathered through the night, Kristen Pearce helped the process along and Jerry was able to clear up the false rumors Nate Johnson spread. Jerry would have a lot of work if he wants to clear up Madman and Spencer Spade's situations.

***

Around half an hour before Nightmare was about to get started with Jerry Eisen and Theodore Reed who spent time in the WWWE and PWI at the announce desk. Theodore was just signed with the company for this role, he and Clay Clinton spoke backstage having known each other from the WWWE.

Marquez came across some sad news from the dirt sheets which broke on Saturday morning.

Morales was working in Glebov Organization in Russia and Konigreich der Deutschen Wrestling in Germany when the taxi he was in was T-Boned by a drunk driver in Romania where GO was holding a show on Sunday.

***

Marquez watched the show from the go position, the SWF Total Access team was in place to make sure they captured all the action. Marquez was impressed by some of the matches.

***

Elite began twenty minutes after the conclusion of Nightmare, Marquez had moved to the back and was watching the show on the monitor.

***

On-Screen SWF President, Louisa Angel came down hard. She stated the Board of Directors agreed with her decision. She stated, "Despite Antonio Marquez saying he won't cheat in the ring and blaming Jessica Pearce and Clay Clinton for putting themselves in danger - I have little reason to trust neither he nor the rest of the Billion Dollar Club."

The segment seemed to go over well with mentions of Jack Bruce, Stacks, and Sam Keith scowling at not getting his way.

Clay and Dakota agreed that even more should be done about the Billion Dollar Club, with a passionate Clay Clinton not really holding back. "Does this mean we get to beat up Clay again," Justin Sensitive joked, drawing laughter from some in the back, "Well he does owe me a rack of ribs," Emma Chase added.

The Emperors Of Roppongi were in the background adding in bits and pieces to the segment. The main message was that Stone, Juzo, and Yoshino were going to defeat Marquez, Joe Money, and Stacks Gilmore at Welcome To The Jungle and that would be the best punishment for the group.

***

"Who Are You To Turn Your Nose Up At Champagne Delight," seemed to be a winner as Marquez dropped the line after being asked about Women In Charge, specifically SWF General Manager Krissy Angelle's decision to try and hurt the group through booking if they attack anyone else. Marquez again stated they only attack people from the front. Breston helped Stacks a bit by throwing in some lines while Joe Money, Justin Sensitive, Ripped, and Johansen weren't in the segment.

Marquez watched the rest of the show from the locker in what was an entertaining show.

***

That night Marquez stayed in as they had an early flight to Portland in the morning. He did have a short conversation with Krissy Angelle who walked up and said, "I do dare turn my nose up at Champagne Delight," in a playful tone.

***

After arriving in Portland on Tuesday morning Agents filtered out news that last nights Elite broke their recent ratings record and drew an estimated 16.85 when combining together each market it aired. While Marquez or hardly anyone understands how rating experts make those estimates, it was definitely good news.

***

Marquez arrived at the Portland Memorial Coliseum five hours before Supreme TV and approximately around 3 hours and 40 minutes prior to the 1st In This Ring. Jerry made it clear the 3-hour arrival time was in place for the A-Shows for those who aren't booked on the B-Shows on Monday and Tuesday - yet, Marquez liked arriving early.

Antonio was happy he arrived early as Sammy Smoke would liven up the locker room around 2 hours prior to In This Ring.

***

Marquez wasn't big on the comedy match between High Flyin Fun and Dance Baby Dance, but he could understand giving the fans a portion of fun when taking into consideration the gimmicks of both teams.

The rest was spot on. Lincoln Skills is someone Marquez feels has a bright future, Valiant being his mentor doesn't hurt his chances of becoming successful.

After the show, Marquez immediately finished getting ready as Billion Dollar Club was set to lead off the show.

***

Billion Dollar Club receives a lot of heat, especially when the entire twelve person group is seen together. The first ten minutes of their segment saw them enter the arena in a stretch limo, hype Sensitive in the King Of The Sky Tournament, and brag that no trio would defeat them (Marquez, Stacks, and Money) in the Chaos Trios Tournament.

Marquez and company laughed at WIC, the $200k fine, and their victims in this segment which drew a great deal of heat. Money pointed to Ripped and Johansen and said, "Do you think we care about $200k when we can afford the Billion Dollar Detail? Our resources through Billion Dollar Inc are endless!" They also took jabs at the Pearce & Pearce firm and hyped the Welcome To The Jungle Chaos Semi-Final match.

Emma did most of the talking and drew a lot of heat for her comments on SWF Chairwoman and CEO, Adrienne Hewitt. The group then left the ring after stating they had a party to attend, they entered the stretch limo, putting an end to the thirty-minute segment. Leaving the crowd rowdy and shouting venom towards them.

***

The match took place in the 2nd hour and rubbed some in the locker room wrong. Antonio found out that Reggie Rush and Tommy Varsity (who is a former RIPW Heavyweight Champion as Tommy Athlete and had some AWF fame as Slip prior to that) had to be pulled apart after Rush kept antagonizing him. Varsity though Jerry's slap on the wrist calling it 'soft' and a tension built between Rush and Varsity. Evidently, Varsity thought a good way to show his displeasure was an attempt to ruin his first match with his new tag team partner.

Marquez saw Jerry with a cold look on his face after the match. The incident nearly made him snap after recent events, but he kept it together and walked out of the locker room. Head of Talent Relations and Jerry's best friend Drake Walker sped after him, probably trying to make sure Jerry calmed down before making a rash decision.

***

"Wow," was Antonio's response after this match. Black Hat Bailey was the Agent in charge and Darren Smith was the original referee. Everything seemed to work in this match, from Thorn sending Apex to get revenge on Remo for costing Poundstone - Valiant's spot in the Welcome To The Jungle main event, to Apex taking shots at Valiant, to the spot Smith sold, to Skull DeBones appearing on the SWFTron during the chaos to distract Remo. Valiant had the match won several times, but Lavin came down right after Remo his devastating STO, The Destroyer. Marquez was impressed with the main event matches Valiant put on two nights in a row.

***

The Billion Dollar Club all went to, "Free Range & Craft Specialty Bistro" one of the finest restaurants in Portland after the show. Marquez grabbed the fairly sizable tab and spoke to the group about his idea about a trip to Mexico. They agreed to the first week of September after Supreme TV. Marquez agreed to talk to Jerry about it tomorrow when they arrived in Iowa for Wrestling Day.

***

After arriving in Waterloo, Iowa on Wednesday morning the Agents again filtered out news of great estimated ratings with Supreme TV getting a 16.69. Two of the three highest-rated shows in years came on back to back nights - definitely a good sign despite everything backstage.

****

Hours, before anyone was due to be at the Young Arena Marquez, went to meet Jerry in the hotel lobby. Jerry cleared had a lot on his mind and began the conversation with, "I just had to fire someone in FKPW all the way in Japan on Monday for comments he made about Art Reed and Yodo Mushashibo. This hasn't been the best week and a half."

Before bringing up the plan he needed to approve, as some members of the BDC are on regular House Show duty, Marquez asked about Eric, "Eric who," was Jerry's initial response. After a short laugh, Jerry went into an explosive phone call between the two where Eric told him that he wouldn't be seeing his nephew Eason Eisen anytime soon.

Eason is seven-years-old and his mother is one of Eric's old girlfriends. Jerry was amused how Eric was able to convince pop star Erika Flash to ever sleep with him, but he did. Jerry also said their father blamed him for Eric wanting to leave, but was pleased with the direction of the product and didn't have to worry about his job.

"Scott Sinclair isn't a big deal. I'm not about to give any power or overpay a guy with his attitude. If he wants to go to SOTBPW or USPW, he can be my guest," Jerry said about the Big Smack Scott situation.

When Marquez got to his question Jerry quickly agreed and thought it was a great idea. Marquez also told Jerry, "Breston Blonde is turning into a good worker, he's eager to learn. He's worth pushing hard."

Jerry joked, "Is Adrienne going to be happy with you making nice with her ex?" Jerry quickly added, "That's far better to hear than the usual push complaint and developmental talent begging for a call-up e-mails. You should hear the drama some bring."

***

Since the small locker room was going to be crowded Marquez didn't arrive until right at three hours prior to the show. The normal Wrestling Day travel team was aware of their assignment and the announce team consisted of Jason Azaria who was let go from TCW in January 2017 as Ricky Dale Johnson wanted to change how the product was presented. RDJ purchased the company from BriCo who didn't trust anyone to run a profitable product after the death of Kyle Rhodes in June 2016.

Reporter Ana Garcia is doing commentary on the show from a reporter's point of view. The third member of the team adds the wrestler's perspective and that is the recently retired Ice Cold Funk who had his last match against Mikey Lau in a dark match from Supreme TV in May of 2017. After this week, Barry Bowen (Runaway Train) would be the individual in charge of running the locker room on the 2-hour Wrestling Day each week.

***

Antonio only really paid attention to the main event, which he thought was well done. He was chatting with Billion Dollar Club members and had a few words with Edd Stone who insisted he was prettier than Marquez.

***

After the show, Marquez went back to the hotel and decided to catch up on sleep. He was excited to get back into the ring on Sunday for Welcome To The Jungle.

Is This Weekend Real? Sadness, Social Media, & What's To Come

Marquez spent Thursday traveling back to New England where the bulk of SWF's programming would take place over the next week - including the Welcome To The Jungle Pay Per View. Once he got back to the house Jerry was allowing him to stay in until he purchased or built his own home - he decided to get into the whirlpool, allowing the water to reach his neck in order to soak his shoulder. Afterwards, he ended the night with a conversation with Jennifer that lasted a few hours.

***

Antonio woke up rather early on Friday and checked the dirt sheets and found something about a situation he heard about briefly months prior.

The article further detailed that book release comes on the day of Kristabel Plum's memorial show. Jim King put the event together in order to highlight women's wrestling. Sponsors and King stated they would donate 90% of proceeds to charity and use the rest to compensate the talent.

Those who screened the book prior to release commented that King isn't ill-spirited towards NOTBPW, he simply hopes they reform the way their practices and take their talent's concerns seriously in the future. In a statement to a smaller wrestling outlet, King said, "I'm more hurt about the situation than angry. I do not hate the Stone family nor anyone associated with the promotion [NOTBPW]."

That afternoon the news kept coming.

<img src='https://i.imgur.com/Wozg8wf.jpg' /> My bad on the errors here, that's what happens when writing narratives before bed.

"I wonder if I could get booked for this," Marquez said to himself before being distracted by his Chirper timeline showing a lot of action around a Chirp. He checked various dirt sheets to find an organized story on what was going on.

Marquez had been tagged along with Emma Chase, Stacks Gilmore, and Joe Money in a number of posts. The other members of the group were also tagged in some of the chirps as well, "Yeah, I'm going to stay out of this nonsense," Antonio said to himself.

He checked his texts and he had received messages from Emma and Stacks about Rich Money's chirp. In the exchanges, both stated that Rich has been upset with Richard Eisen for quite some time and it wasn't a personal shot at them.

Marquez was happy to hear that, so he left it alone. However, he had a hunch and decided to use his Reverie subscription service to watch USPW's Pay Per View that night.

Interesting time for Rich Money to put himself in the spotlight and win a title in USPW. Marquez smirked at the development before he went to bed.

***

Marquez woke up Saturday and did a quick check of the internet after yesterday's big news.

Conversations about the show along with Jim King's book were a popular discussion on the net. The Stone family and NOTBPW remained silent about both issues. A small contingent of fans in Canada seemed a bit upset about the Plum situation and the book.

***

A little later in the day, some other news broke with Allen Packer commenting on what Rich Money Chirped yesterday.

Packer's chirp immediately led to stories from respected dirt sheets.

Not too long after this news broke, Marquez received the following text.

<img src='

https://i.imgur.com/DH4NxJZ.jpg' />

Champagne Delight, can you head over to headquarters? We'll go to the airport together.

***

"Hello Monica," Antonio said pleasantly upon walking into SWF Headquarters around 1 pm EST. The brunette with blonde highlights is the same receptionist from chapter one. She gives Marquez a smile as he walks past, "Going to bro out with Jerry," she jokingly asks drawing a laugh from Antonio as he begins walking towards Jerry's office.

Antonio walks up to the office with the golden nameplate reading, 'SWF Senior Vice President' on the top line along with, 'Jerry Eisen' on the bottom. He knocks and here's, "It's open," on the other end.

Marquez walks in and sees Jerry with his back to the door with a tablet in hand. Antonio can briefly see the screen as Jerry walks back towards his desk.

"If it isn't Champagne Delight," Jerry says as he sits behind his desk. Jerry motions for Marquez to gladly take a seat. His picture of he and Drake still sits on the desk.

"I imagine you've had a frustrating week," Marquez says as Jerry laughs slightly, "That's one way to put it. I'm going to address everything soon - I just have more important things to do than troll on social media."

"So what's up," Marquez asks, "Oh right, I wanted to let you know the licensing is complete. You are now the legal owner to the 'Champagne Delight' phrase going forward. Of course, we can still merchandise with the phrase on merchandise, yet you won't have to worry about what South Of The Border did with 'Champagne Lover.'

Antonio smiles over the news, Jerry worked with Marquez's agent on that deal. Jerry didn't even put up an argument during the negotiations on the topic. Which is much different than how Richard used to handle things when he was more hands on.

"Awesome, I appreciate that. What else is up?" Marquez asks, "Oh, I mostly wanted someone to get lunch with me. Everyone else was busy," Jerry quickly responds.

"So, let's go," he adds. Antonio shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face and decided that he was hungry. The two went to an Italian Bistro before they went to the airport to make their way to Welcome To The Jungle.

WYSmooth · February 12, 2018

Welcome To The Jungle, New Hampshire!

The short flight allowed Marquez to make it to his hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire before dark on Saturday night. Manchester isn't known for its bustling nightlife, but Antonio did head out to eat Greek with Emma Chase and Robert Reginald Preston. They were noticed by some fans in town for Welcome To The Jungle, yet they didn't approach the group.

The trio grabbed a few drinks at the restaurants' bar before going to see an instantly forgettable action movie. Afterwards, the group went back to the Deluxe Plaza Hotel. Upon walking in they noticed Reed Revolver (Marc DuBois) walking past them looking suspicious and wearing a winter coat, despite it being nearly 70 degrees outside.

He's an odd one. Marquez thought to himself before heading back to his hotel room for the night.

***

Marquez woke up at around 11 am on Sunday. He went through his stretching routine before getting dressed and heading to the United Arena where he planned to pick up catering. Not very many were at the arena when he arrived, however, Lindsay Coppin, the hard-working backstage assistant was already there. The two had a brief conversation as they ate catering together.

***

Several hours later the locker room was beginning to fill and some were already speaking to Agents in preparation for their matches later that night. Enforcer Roberts, Frank Kubrick, and Runaway Train were responsible for putting together the 40 person Jungle Royale.

Antonio thought the concept was interesting due to the randomly timed entrances, yet he was far happier to be an actual match that night.

***

While not many paid attention backstage. SWF launched their Event pre-show prior to Welcome To The Jungle called 'The Calm.' Reginald Kipp, Dakota Williams, and January Kyle had duties of giving SWF Total Access subscribers a live look at everything going down on the lead up to Welcome To The Jungle.

The match focused on a story and Sensitive got a little help to take the victory and move on to the finals of the King Of The Sky Tournament next Sunday at Summer In Mexico City. After the match, Marquez got dressed for his match later in the evening.

***

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/hg1AIox.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/hg1AIox.jpg'</a> />

Brett Biggins and Emmy turned on Spencer Spade. I guess this is why Jerry had the conversations with Spade. Who remains feeling isolated backstage due to the politics played by Remo. Marquez thought to himself. Emmy and Brett had been acting 'off' on-camera since the title victory at Supreme Challenge and were upset Spade said Velocity would be glad to face Universe Destruction.

The turns went well and Emmy was much louder and flamboyant acting when she and Brett gave several boots to a downed Spencer Spade after the match.

Broken took the Hyper Drive from Real Concept, Morisette held Poundstone off and Crane was able to take out Etano for the trio to make their way to the Chaos Trios finals to take place next week at Summer In Mexico City. The victory gave Morisette a measure of revenge after Poundstone played a role in the now-defunct House Of Rage turning on him.

Marquez liked this match and thought the teams were able to tell a good story.

Winner: Rogue

Storylines: Stardust eliminated both members of The Triumvirate in Royale. Ekuma picked Khoklov up in a Rack and dumped him to the outside. Rogue then tossed the exhausted Ekuma over the top. Aaron Andrews was in the match for 40 minutes.

However, not everything ran smoothly.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/InAmnLX.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/InAmnLX.jpg'</a> />

After the Royale, nearly everyone in the match was annoyed with the unprofessionalism shown by Reed Revolver. Marc has a history of messing up his opportunities, yet many thought he had changed. Drake Walker grabbed him after he returned to the back and got Agent Kaito Ishii to drive him back to the hotel. Needless to say with the recent events the front office was dealing with - Jerry and Drake were livid at Marc for this, but they didn't have time to deal with it in the middle of a Pay Per View.

"Wow," Marquez said out loud as Ishii stormed out of the locker room with a stumbling Marc DuBois slung over his shoulders. The locker room would buzz about it through the rest of the night and chatter on social media would go on from fans.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/DmFWH8d.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/DmFWH8d.jpg'</a> />

The brothers Bumfhole were the perfect follow-up to get everyone's attention back on the show. ZimTastic took a Tope Con Giro stunt bump, which saw Randy move out of the way. Luckily, the crew was able to add a great deal of extra padding to the area to give him some added protection. While Randy won by count out he didn't take the Intercontinental Championship home with him. The match was full of high spots which grabbed the crowds attention. The competitive/slight tense feud between the two will continue as Zim is probably not satisfied with revenge over his brother who turned on him at Supreme Challenge 36, despite Randy now being on the correct path.

After the match, Marquez, Gilmore, and Money had a brief spot showing them warming up for their Chaos Trios Semi-Final match against the Pearce & Pearce Firm.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/fgmTiG6.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/fgmTiG6.jpg'</a> />

Matthew DeVille got the victory with his Blood Kiss, Kata Ha Jime submission after some help. Richie Santana Jr always catches the eye of Marquez when he's in the ring. The guy can definitely work.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Kf4LYMq.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Kf4LYMq.jpg'</a> />

The Emperors Of Roppongi shadowing the Pearce Sisters gives the group a unique feel. Marquez was amused with the barbs they threw towards Emma and Stacks.

Immediately after the piece Marquez, Gilmore, Money, Chase, Blonde, and Sensitive hurried into the limo for their custom entrance.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/1XW8ul2.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/1XW8ul2.jpg'</a> />

Juzo and Yoshino (Emperors Of Roppongi) were able to connect with the crowd in an open match environment as they held their own against the established stars. While Marquez doesn't cheat that doesn't stop the rest of the group Breston Blonde got himself involved which drew the ire of Jessica and Kristen during the match. The end saw Marquez hit the Champagne Flight on Yoshino to take him out of the picture while Money held onto Juzo. Edd Stone took the Limo Ride and Stacks and Jessica Pearce starred at one another as the three count was being made. Gilmore blew her a mocking kiss as Jessica was seething on the outside of the ring.

It was also announced that the tag team Joe Money and Stacks Gilmore are dubbed First Class. Jasmine Saunders the ring announcer dropped the name during introductions.

Thorn, Scythe DeBones, Hannah, & Margaret Roman at ringside for the match. Remo and Scythe had a brief staredown as did Scythe and Apex. Thorn shouted at Valiant, which caused Hannah to exchange shouts with Thorn. During the match, Roman focused on Lau and would yell instructions and encouragement. The match ended with a lightning fast unique handgrip float over pinning combination from Lau on Remo in the center of the ring that Remo couldn't escape prior to the three count.

After the show, while everyone was still in the back, Jerry had some words for the locker room.

"Crane was great in his match," Marquez said who was pleased with the compliment he received. Remo also looked pleased by his recognition.

***

Marquez stayed at the hotel that night while much of the locker room went out. He did hear Drake Walker and Jerry Eisen discussing their options with Reed Revolver as they walked through the halls. Neither could enjoy their night due to the added piece of drama they were confronted with.

*VIP vs Paul Huntingdon was for the North American Heavyweight Championship. Since VIP won Battle Flight at SC 37 he had the right to choose to challenge for the IC or NA Championship at WTJ. Khoklov ruined his party for the second time.

As mentioned above the Randy Legend vs ZimTastic match was for Zim's Intercontinental Championship

What A Monday Morning Part 1

Marquez woke up early on Monday morning and was one of the first to board one of the buses to Nashua, New Hampshire for Elite. However, before the thirty-minute ride, he witnessed Reed Revolver leaving the hotel early. He overheard Jerry Eisen say, "..We had to let him go. At least he took it well," to SWF Head of Talent Relations Drake Walker as the two were boarding several minutes after he was seated. Evidently, a lot can go down before 10 am, Antonio thought to himself.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/VxbmmZO.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/VxbmmZO.jpg'</a> />

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/COuNTP7.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/COuNTP7.jpg'</a> />

However, he couldn't blame the decision to release Revolver. The locker room was still buzzing about all the chances he received years prior. Randy Legend who got into numerous altercations with Revolver when he was going under his real name Marc DuBois (and wasn't toned rather than flabby), was quite happy to see him gone. "Are the scouts already looking into a replacement for him in International Outlaws," Drake asked his best friend.

"Yeah, Tim doesn't think anyone in development can fill the cowboy roll well...Anyone ready for a call-up, anyway," Jerry responds.

Timothy Fross is the head of the four-person scouting department and uses a number of methods to scout talent around the world. "He's evidently already talked to the press," Drake says towards Jerry. "DeAndre," Jerry asks in a questioning tone.

"Of course. Take a look," Drake says while handing Jerry his ePad. "He does his job well," Jerry says while beginning to read.

International Federation For Wrestling News

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/n5I4oFV.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/n5I4oFV.jpg'</a> /></div> <div style="text-align:center;">*Official DeAndre Allison by willr0ck</div>

Rumors of Reed Revolver's (Marc DuBois) inebriated state last night was confirmed when he reached out to me early this morning. Revolver did not go on the record with the substance he took to cause his condition last night at the Supreme Wrestling Federation, Welcome To The Jungle Pay Per View, he did admit to his mistake.

In our conversation, he confirmed that he was let go by the company this morning after only one televised in-ring appearance since his return to the company who trained him in June of this year. Revolver had worked a number of house shows with the International Outlaws group, while the feud against the Modern Cowboys stable was about to get underway.

"I hold no ill will towards anyone at the company [sWF] I messed up again after they gave me another chance. I don't know where my career will go from here, but I'm willing to clean up my life and wrestle anywhere in the world," DuBois said during our conversation.

He did not go on the record when asked if he was going to check into rehab or what his next plans were. However, he did say, "I'm going to evaluate my career and figure out the best way forward. I will accept bookings and can be reached at <a href="mailto:" rel="">MarcDuBois1@smail.com</a>."

We hope Marc DuBois does get his life and career back on track.

<div style="text-align:center;">Please support IFWN by subscribing to our weekly podcast!</div>

"I hope he figures everything out," Jerry says as he hands the ePad back to Drake, "Same for Rawls," he continues. Drake lets out a disappointed sigh prior to responding, "Rehab is the best thing for him. Three failed painkiller tests in five months, definitely don't want the kid to die."

"I'm giving Skull next week off to visit him next week in LA. Hopefully having his protege there will help him get settled," Jerry responds. "That's a good idea, he'll be there for seven months. Skull could be a big help for him," Drake replies.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/CjGyA98.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/CjGyA98.jpg'</a> />

"Are you going to respond to the media at all," Drake asks after a brief silence between the two. Spencer Spade gets on the bus after Drake finishes the question, he nods his head towards the two executives in the front of the bus as he walks to the back and sits across from Marquez. They share polite head nods, Spade has ear pods in and Marquez can hear the hip-hop Spade is listening to.

"I'm going to write on my website in a bit. I respect DeAndre and some of the other outlets, but I want to get everything out in my own words," Jerry says in response to Drake. At this Marquez stops listening to the two as Krissy Angelle, Kristen Pearce, and Hannah get on the bus together. They wave towards Marquez and Spade in the back.

"Hey, everyone in the locker room who doesn't hate is now accounted for," Spade says jokingly as he waves back towards the three. Antonio lightly taps Spade's knee, who takes out one of his earbuds. "Hang in there kid, all this drama will blow over," Marquez says in an encouraging tone.

"Thanks, Champagne dude," Spade says with a slight smile on his face as he takes out the other earbud. Marquez looks at his phone and sees a report. "Looks like they're serious about SWF Total Access," Marquez says as he hands his phone to Spade.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/g2lic2D.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/g2lic2D.jpg'</a> />

"Yeah man, I've got some shoots with Fiona for it this week. Should be pretty dope," Spade says as he returns the phone to Antonio.

How do people not like this guy, Marquez thinks to himself as the bus begins to fill with further SWF employees.

What A Monday Morning Part 2

<div style="text-align:center;">Jerry's Corner

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/DH4NxJZ.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/DH4NxJZ.jpg'</a> />

</div>

It seems that everyone has wanted to hear from me in the past week. Unfortunately, I have been busy helping to run a company. Actually, I've been so busy that I haven't been able to give out roster bonuses for Welcome To The Jungle yesterday.

Yes, that's right - SWF actually gives additional bonuses to the individuals who put their bodies at risk night after night. Novel thought, right? So those who are deciding if they want to work for us or some of our competitors, keep that in mind.

So on to the news, yes SWF did part ways with a roster member this morning due to their unprofessionalism last night. That's all I will comment on about that situation.

As other's have inquired - my brother Eric did ask for his release which I granted. There's really not much more to say about that, there's no doubt that Eric will find something to do with his time. He may or may not be successful in his future - we'll all see what happens with him.

Regarding certain comments from those owning or working for a particular promotion, why would I pay them any extra attention? There literally isn't anything worth responding to. Especially, from a company who just released Alicia Strong - one of the best women competitors in the business.

Richard Eisen sets parameters in which the executives and department heads work within. Therefore, those who direct certain comments towards us, have no idea how our company operates.

I'm sure some won't be satisfied with how short this entry is, yet there are aspects of these stories that are better left behind closed doors.

I encourage everyone to subscribe to SWF Total Access in order to view all of our new programmings at a low price. You even get to hear me as an announcer on Nightmare with Theodore Reed. We will continue to produce content which provides context for Elite and Supreme TV.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

Wrestling, Pain, & Remo?

Marquez took a nap once he got situated in his hotel room in Nashua, New Hampshire. He woke up around 4 PM local time, stretched, ate, and then made his way to the Allen Road complex dressed in a blazer combo. Once he arrived he caught up with Richie Santana who has a running joke of saying, "You're almost as good as I was," to Antonio. To be honest, Marquez still doesn't know if Santana is joking or not.

While Nightmare was going on Marquez spoke to various members of the roster and staff backstage, feeling comfortable in being looked at as a locker room leader.

The matches Krissy set for Supreme TV tomorrow were Joe Money vs Chris Morisette, Stacks Gilmore vs Greg Black, and Antonio Maxi Marquez vs Benny Crane.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/oWLOlNG.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/oWLOlNG.jpg'</a> />

Cassandra Clausen gave the kayfabe reason for Reed Revolver being gone that he fled the SWF due to outstanding warrants in Texas, giving her no choice but to let him go. Angel reversed the Justin Sensitive and Flying Glory match from WTJ due to cheating. Flying Glory is moving on to the King Of The Sky Finals while Richie Santana receives a title shot after the KTS winner receives their Sky Club title shot. BDC's past infractions led to the punishment. She also states that Matthew DeVille faces Valiant tonight as Women In Charge Punishment for the cheating of Severn.

Marquez in the group was in place for five minutes prior to the segment, meaning they only caught a piece of the WIC opening segments from their office. Each member was in the segment and they were a little frustrated, yet stayed calm. The GGP suggested they hit up a Country Club for the rest of the night and they all left the arena.

Marquez watched the segment while speaking to Jessica Pearce, "They suit each other. Especially, with all the drama Spade has to deal with," she said to Marquez, "Above All Be Extravagant does fit them. A lot of egos there - Eason is the only grounded one," Marquez adds. Biggz treatment of Spade has clouded Marquez to the tag team specialists normal humble ways.

"Who put this together," Marquez asks Head Agent Black Hat Bailey as the two finished watching the match from the go position. "[Demon] Anger," Bailey answered quickly. "That was good work from those four," Marquez continues.

"Breston still mad about that injury Valiant caused," Bailey turns his head looking towards Marquez, "Yeah, he hasn't let it go. He says he's lucky it wasn't worse than just a [biceps] contusion."

Rogue hyped himself and said that he would take the SWF World Heavyweight Championship at Let The Games Begin in October. He also continued to brag about winning the Jungle Royale which gave him that right. Finally, he led the camera man outside and pointed in the distance at Lau who was training with his Coach/Manager Margaret Roman. He finished with remarks about the training will only buy him time. Marquez was impressed with the segment - Antonio feels Rogue does a great job at presenting himself as a unique egomaniac who gets under others skin.

Immediately after the show, the group got everything packed up and were on the plane for their 3 AM local time flight to Hartford, Connecticut for Supreme TV.

***

Marquez woke up around 2 PM local time in his Hartford hotel room. He went through his stretches before eating lunch with Skull DeBones who had his mind on his protege Andrew Rawls who is having a hard time adjusting to rehab. Skull went through how he was going to help him next week, "I don't want to see that kid throw away his career," Skull said during lunch at a small diner.

At around 4 PM Marquez made his way to the XL Center and immediately went to Lead Trainer Adam Whitfield who taped his shoulder and went through some strength work for his shoulder.

During In This Ring, Marquez spoke to the other members of Billion Dollar Club, telling them he purchased tickets for next week in Tijuana at his mansion. The group did catch some of the main event.

Keith shockingly kept his word and went to General Manager Krissy Angelle with the request. She said that Stardust could have a trios match at Summer In Mexico City, but he has to find his partners tonight.

The locker room wasn't happy with Tommy Varsity, the second time he's done something like this after his run-in with Reggie Rush. The actual Head of Talent Relations, Drake Walker could only shake his head and immediately made his way to speak to Jerry about the issue.

Sweet Peach Lounge leads off hour 2 and Marquez had just finished dressing for his match and segment later. Rogue and Sophie Sweet played off each other well during the 10-minute segment, about 7 of which was the dialogue between the two. Rogue made it clear that he didn't care who the champion was by Let The Games Begin.

Marquez, Gilmore, and Money were accompanied by Chase, Blonde, and Sensitive for the interview. "That was great, thanks for picking me up," Marquez said confidently after the camera had cut off of them. Gilmore had cut in perfectly during a rare verbal misstep by Marquez.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ovTpf6L.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ovTpf6L.jpg'</a> />

Despite everything that went wrong in the match the storyline approach and layout of the match helped it work. Morrisette was made to look strong and Money only gout the win after a slight distraction from Justin Sensitive allowing him to hit his Fallaway Neckbreaker the Money Roll.

The entire group was present besides Joe Money who Chase said was in an ice bath with golden flakes after his match. Wealth & Success looked good and Stacks again was great without a script. After the segment, Marquez couldn't understand why Gilmore was upset about being a Heel now, especially with how well he's performing.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/pLw0yiW.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/pLw0yiW.jpg'</a> />

Marquez watched from the go position as his match was the main event, he was impressed with the in-ring work from the two. Again Billion Dollar Club had a bit of help which aided in the victory.

Keeping to his word Champagne Delight did not cheat. Richie Santana did a good job at helping put the match together and Ric Young did a great job referring the match. Crane was slightly off which probably kept the match from being even better. Marquez would kick out of the Shockwave From Reality, Running Enzuigiri Kick during the match. The match would end after Marquez moved out of the way of the Shockwave Flying Elbow, Springboard Flying Elbow Strike causing Crane to land awkwardly on his feet. Marquez used that split second to hit the Drunk Off Champagne, Stunning Face Crusher. Antonio winked to the camera from a seated position after hitting the Stunner and rolled up Crane for the victory. The show ended with Marquez looking at the camera saying, "The loveable tall glass of Champagne Perfection guarantees you that the Billion Dollar Club wins the Chaos Trios Championship in Mexico City." Only Emma Chase's voice could be heard as she pie-faced the camera, "Get out of our face," was heard as Supreme TV came to an end.

Hirayama Go was absent from the bar as nearly everyone else was present. Even the others who were set to travel as the 'B-Squad' to Wrestling Day decided to come out. Antonio had a few Stouts while speaking to Stacks Gilmore, Spencer Spade, Skull DeBones, Breston Blonde, Krissy Angelle, Rudy Velasquez, Hector Galindo, Jessica Pearce, Ben Champion [ben Williams], and Louisa Angel during the night.

He got back to his hotel and slept until 1 pm local time on Wednesday.

***

After showering he caught a ride with Jerry Eisen who was driving back to Greenwich where SWF Headquarters is located along with Jerry's home and the guest home Marquez is currently living. During the trip, they spoke about a number of issues, yet Antonio had time to check his phone.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Yd6wTvv.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Yd6wTvv.jpg'</a> />

***

Once arriving in Greenwich they grabbed a meal at an Italian restaurant before Jerry drove Marquez to the guest house. Immediately upon arriving Marquez crashed, yet he woke up in time to watch Wrestling Day on SWF Total Access. He had a few texts from Jerry explaining some backstage things that he was told about by Runaway Train who was running the event. Jerry also said he was now going to have to send more Agents to Wrestling Day in the future and wouldn't ask Spade to travel each week. Antonio was slightly confused, especially when Jerry mentioned fining Estilo and painkillers, but he still watched the show - becoming used to Jerry's rants.

After the show, Marquez laughed at a text from Gilmore which basically said he's going to request to not be backstage for Wrestling Day again after everything that went down.

Marquez got some cardio and weight lifting in prior to searching around the dirt sheets.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/pWeDP7U.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/pWeDP7U.jpg'</a> /><div style="text-align:right;">*Got to love those missing letters

</div>

"So this is what Benny was talking about," Marquez said to himself. Evidently, the episode aired on Sunday and this write-up was published on Tuesday. Marquez found a clip of the episode and gave it a watch before calling his agent in Mexico and Jennifer before going to bed.

***

Marquez woke up early Thursday morning to a text from a clearly stressed Jerry Eisen.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/DH4NxJZ.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/DH4NxJZ.jpg'</a> />

I really hate pain killers...</div>

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/NdJUZf7.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/NdJUZf7.jpg'</a> />

We do have a problem backstage, Marquez thought to himself after the falling text explained the newest pain killer incident.

After a brief conversation with Jerry, Marquez decided to anonymously donate some money to several charities, catch up on reading, get some stretching in, eat, and then he went out to the local mall. Marquez doesn't mind walking around in disguise at times, but at times he would like to not be so famous.

He ended up buying some clothes and also grabbed a grilled chicken meal before heading back to Jerry's guest host where he lifted some weights and did his stretching. While Antonio has had several lower-body injuries in the past, the shoulder tendonitis has been a constant nuisance since it began - more than any other injury he's faced.

That night Marquez got word that Remo was about to go live on "Tonight w/Kyle Keller" a late night talk show which sometimes dives into sports. "I guess he isn't upset about not going to Mexico," Antonio dismissively said to himself upon finding the news online, "I guess I'll watch..." he added before turning on the flat-screen in the living room.

WYSmooth · February 20, 2018

Tonight w/Kyle Keller Thursday Wk 4 August 2017 [Night]

<div style="text-align:center;">Public Relations</div>

The show is coming back from commercial break. Actress Jennifer Neal is sitting in a chair wearing a shimmering grey dress with black high heels. Her brown hair flows to her side. Jennifer is in her mid-twenties and appeared in the feature segment of the show to promote her new movie "Royale Games: Laughing Eagle." An empty seat is between her and Kyle Keller who sits behind a desk, which is probably made out of mahogany. He is a formal internet sensation who was brought to the dwindling TV market in an effort to bring younger generations back to TV. The 24-year-old is known for his charm, wit, and surprisingly good interview skills. Kyle wears a black suit with a white undershirt. Jennifer and the New York City studio audience begins to clap as the show returns from commercial break.

<div style="text-align:center;">Kyle Keller

At this time I would like to introduce you to former three-time SWF World Heavyweight Champion...They call him, Big Bad...Remoooo!</div>

The crowd and Jennifer continue clapping as Remo's entrance music blasts over the speakers. Remo walks out to applause and some boos from crowd members who are SWF fans. Remo is wearing a grey suit with a black shirt underneath. His golden chain hangs from his neck as he poses for a moment before walking towards the desk he is greeted by Kyle who stands and shakes his hand. Jennifer plightly stands as well and she shakes his hand before they all sit.

<div style="text-align:center;">Kyle Keller

Thank you for joining in studio tonight Remo. How is everything with your career? Beat up anyone that you would care to tell us about? </div>

The crowd laughs and Remo gives a slick smile.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

Who haven't I beat up lately?</div>

Jennifer quickly and energetically interjects.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jennifer

Mikey Lau! He's made you submit and pinned you in the past two months...</div>

The crowd and even Kyle roar as Jennifer lets out that she's a fan of Supreme Wrestling Federation. Remo turns his head back and forth between her and Kyle which charms the crowd. He points towards Jennifer while looking at Kyle.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

Even she is bringing up Mikey Lau, the luckiest man on Earth. *To Jennifer* How long have you been a fan?

Jennifer

Since I was about eight, my dad has been an SWF fan since he was a kid. He was all about Christian Faith and Jack Bruce.

Remo

Oh, I beat Jack Bruce for my first reign as SWF World Heavyweight. I've beaten him up more times than I can cou...

</div>

Jennifer interjects.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jennifer

Didn't he beat you back for the...</div>

Remo returns the favor and turns back to Kyle who is loving the exchange.

<div style="text-align:center;">Anyways...You were saying Kyle?</div>

Part of the crowd playfully boos and the other part laughs. If he was only like this in the locker room we wouldn't have half the drama, Antonio thinks to himself back in the guest house while sitting on the couch.

<div style="text-align:center;">Kyle Keller

Oh this is great...But, yeah back to serious talk. Supreme Wrestling Federation is taking on new challenges with SWF Total Access and this feel of a media world inside of the wrestling world. Is all of this in response to all the competition in the wrestling world?</div>

Remo shrugs his shoulders.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

What competition? There isn't any competition for me or SWF. I'm the best in the world and SWF is the best company in the world.

Kyle Keller</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">I thought you would say that. But you aren't worried, not even about a certain promotion that was calling SWF out within the last week?</div>

Remo smirks again.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

Words only go so far, nobody at that company wants to see me in the ring. They need to just stop talking, it's a little sad really.</div>

The crowd seems to like that response as Remo comes off like a legit tough guy. Jennifer applauds loving it, Kyle also looks impressed.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jennifer

I'd hate to get on your bad side.</div>

Remo turns his head towards her and responds charmingly.

<div style="text-align:center;">I only have a bad side..Big and Bad..twenty-four-seven.</div>

The crowd cheers at the slick words. Jennifer's eyebrows raise and her well known facial expressions show that she's impressed by that.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jennifer</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Is there like a miss or mister Remo? Because damn?</div>

Jennifer's well known perky attitude and unfiltered remarks draw a roar from the crowd as even Kyle laughs. Remo again smirks. Back in Connecticut, Marquez rolls his eyes slightly.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

Nope.

Kyle Keller

Let's get this back on track before I'm fired and then have to return to the unforgiving internet...Remo, SWF recently signed Antonio Maxi Marquez which got attention around the world. What do you think about him and what he means for the SWF, the Billion Dollar Club, and the entire deal?</div>

Marquez sits up, a bit surprised at the question.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

I'm sure I'll beat him one day...I will say this about the Billion Dollar Club, I've never seen a group get so much attention so quickly. There's something special there, who really needs Champagne though?

Jennifer

I really like Champagne. The liquid and the wrestler.

Remo</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">*To Jennifer* Looks like you've talked me into a glass of champagne tonight.</div>

The crowd again applauds and Jennifer nods her head.

<div style="text-align:center;">Kyle Keller

I mean..like..can I come too?</div>

The crowd laughs as do Remo and Jennifer.

<div style="text-align:center;">Remo

Sure, champagne for everyone.

Kyle Keller</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">And there you have it, we're all getting crunk off of champagne tonight. Thank you to my guest, see you ne...</div>

Marquez turns off the TV with the remote and begins walking towards the game room to end the night with video games, "I guess anyone can be charming on TV when playing off Jennifer Neal," he says to himself.

As Marquez slept Friday morning the following spread on several dirt sheets.

To Mexico, Wait There's Problems?

Marquez woke up on Friday morning and started preparing his bags to return to Mexico. After having breakfast, he got in a workout, and called Jerry to confirm that he was picking him up on the way to the airport.

At around 2 pm local time Jerry arrived and the two were on their way to the airport. Jerry let it slip that he was beyond upset with the actions of Tommy Varsity. Marquez couldn't blame him as most of the locker room felt the same.

The flight to Mexico City took some time and members of the wrestling press were at the airport when the SWF crew arrived that night. A number of fans were also on location to see the man now known as "Champagne Delight" Antonio Maxi Marquez.

Once he arrived at his hotel he checked his phone to find scores of media requests through e-mail and social media. Playing true to his character he didn't respond to any.

***

Marquez woke up rather early on Saturday and ordered room service. The marketing team used footage from SWF Total Access to hype the show to fans in Mexico City, along with billboards of Marquez in several spots in the city. "It's nice to be back in Mexico," Marquez said while speaking to Stacks Gilmore.

While Antonio had to stay at the hotel to keep from being swamped he read, had several conversations, and completed his stretching to complete his day. Jennifer was on the road this week and next, he was a bit disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see her at all while he was in the country.

The dirt sheets released something interesting.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/jGT21zE.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jGT21zE.jpg'</a> />

Marquez arrived early at the arena to avoid being mobbed by fans in Mexico still see him as a Tecnico, having already forgotten his turn Rudo turn at the end of his SOTBPW run. Luckily, catering set up an hour after he arrived, so he didn't have to go hungry for long.

***

Later in the day Marquez had his agent meeting for his match, rolled around the ring for a bit. Some incidents did go down backstage prior to The Calm Pre-Show.

Jerry found Scott's incident funny and questioned why he even brought him on the trip, what did he care about a fine days before he was jumping ship to USPW. Luckily, Lau immediately broke into stories after and got the locker room invested and laughing.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/kvcoivp.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/kvcoivp.jpg'</a> />

The Calm came and went before most took notice. The 30-minute Pre-Show was mostly for SWF Total Access members to get hyped prior to the show.

Marquez was already dressed for his main event match as the show began with Duane Fry, Clay Clinton, and Drake Richards at the desk.

Marquez liked the match, The All-Americans were able to get over on The Triumvirate by simply costing them a match. Definitely sets up their angle well. VIP didn't receive much reaction from the crowd, he has some work to do in order to get over in Mexico.

The segment gave the Mexican audience a taste of the confidence of the Billion Dollar Club going into the match. Emma, Breston Blonde, and Justin Sensitive were in the background (Wealth & Success and the Daughters Of Fortune didn't make the trip and were given the day off). They played off the Heel Unethical Journalist Andy Scoops well. Marquez was able to get some heel heat after saying, "I left Mexico because I was being treated or paid like I deserve," which isn't true, yet lies always make for great heat.

"Looks like Scythe is made," Marquez remarked while speaking to Joe Money after being protected in the match and it taking the entire House of Thorn group to take him down, with some aid of Skull. With the victory, Apex moves on to face Mikey Lau for the SWF World Heavyweight Championship at Under Control.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/FIXs65w.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/FIXs65w.jpg'</a> />

"Yep, they're getting behind Scythe," Joe Money remarked to Marquez as he finishes putting on his elbow pads. The segment saw Mikey Lau make the save for the Son's Of Virtue and Etano eating a huge Chokeslam from Scythe. Thorn got involved by distracting Skull when he was clearing house which led to Lau running out.

Marquez watched the match from the go position, despite the high flying nature of the bout - it didn't land with the crowd. The finish saw DeVille push out of the Constitution Cutter, 3/4 Turn turnbuckle aided twisting bulldog causing Glory to land on his feet awkwardly. Glory turned around and took the Touch Of The Elder, Superkick. DeVille is the first winner of the King Of The Sky tournament.

The limo entrance went over well, with Ripped and Johansen existing first and standing at the ramp as the rest of the group proceeded to the ring. There were still some cheers due to Antonio Maxi Marquez, but the crowd mostly showered the group with jeers.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/zp09v9h.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/zp09v9h.jpg'</a> />

The match was solid and had a slow build up with an attempt to make it a spectacle to make the Chaos Trios Championship look special. Joe Money had issues in the ring with his psychology and stamina despite being protected (he was disappointed after the match with himself). Greg Black's leg was worked to take advantage of his shoot injury and work it into the story. Tiffany distracted Money with shouts after he was cheating behind the Referee's back and choking Morrisette.

The finish came after a scrum left everyone down, Benny Crane hit a big plancha from the turnbuckle on Money, Black, and Gilmore on the outside. In the ring, Morrisette slipped away from the Drunk Off Champagne, Stunning Seated Neckbreaker. He then set Marquez up for the Morisette Trap, Fisherman Suplex, but Marquez Arm wrung out of that and hit a Rolling Kick right to the side of his face. He then went to the top and hit his Champagne Flight, high altitude Frog Splash. He immediately sat on Morisette's chest and pulled up one of his legs and cockily counted to three along with Referee Ric Young.

The show ended with Young presenting Marquez, Gilmore, and Money the belts. Chase looked into the camera and said, "This is only the beginning," as the broadcast came to an end.

"It's been a hell of a two weeks," Jerry said in the locker room after receiving a call from the technical department that they weren't able to stream Summer In Mexico City on SWF Total Access. There were some bugs in the system, yet they were able to still make the show on-demand. Jerry would have been fine with that if it didn't mean the angry e-mails, some lost subscriptions, and the lower views for the show.

Everyone had to immediately head to the airport after the show in order to make their flights to Texas for next weeks slate of shows.

A Champagne Celebration & This Can't Be Good

Once arriving at his hotel in El Paso, Marquez immediately crashed on his bed. Upon waking up, he received a text from Jerry clarifying exactly what the Billion Dollar Club would be doing on Elite. He ate a late breakfast, stretched out his sore shoulder, and got in lifting session before hanging out in Rudy and Krissy's room. The three watched the first two episodes of the Instaflix series called, "Slams & Submissions" which follows the career of a fictional wrestler named "The Dream" Marcus Davis - which was released this past Friday.

Afterwards, Antonio made his way to the Don Haskins Center. As soon as he arrived he saw Jerry and PT Dixon having a slight argument. Evidently, Dixon missed a planned shooting for a message to military Veterans.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/xHNuxU8.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/xHNuxU8.jpg'</a> />

Evidently, Dixon didn't take being fined well and he started grumbling about Jerry.

***

Things came to a boiling point nearly an hour later. Marquez was in the middle of a conversation with Jessica Pearce when shouting broke out.

"I'm sick of this! If you got something to say, say to my face dude!" Yelled Spencer Spade causing Antonio and Jessica to look down a hall and see Spencer Spade confronting everyone's favorite locker room personality, Bret Starr.

"I don't know who you think you're talking to Spencer!" Starr shouted back as Biggz The Fabulous and Emmy stood off to the side watching the entire situation breakdown. "I'm talking to your punk ass bro! I heard that you were spreading more of the crap Remo started!" Spade shouted.

"Oh, this isn't good." While Jessica's comment seemed obvious, Spade has been stewing over the past few weeks after Remo began playing politics.

"What are you going to do about it, pretty boy?! Take my money too? Grow a pair!" Starr shouts back causing Spade's eyes widen. Without a word Marquez jogs over to the argument and get between them, facing Spade.

"Don't let it get to you," Marquez says. "Oh, you're going to let Antonio hold you back!" Starr says with a sneer in his voice, further antagonizing the situation!

By this time SWF World Heavyweight Champion, Mikey Lau has heard the commotion. He shoots Emmy and Biggz The Fabulous a short glare before standing in front of Starr and looking him in the eye. "That's enough Starr," Lau says firmly.

"Come on Spade! Do something! Coward!" Starr continues to worsen the situation as Spade shakes his head and points towards Starr, "I'm not the one running my mouth Starr!" Spade responds.

"Let's go for a walk Spade," Marquez says to Spencer who continues to be heated. By this time Agents Ronald Rage (The Brigadier), Richie Santana, Demon Anger, and Demon Spite make their way to the situation and help create distance between Starr and Spade.

"Oh, I'll see you soon Spade!" Starr shouts before Emmy and Biggz The Fabulous finally decided to step in and lead Starr off. After the incident, Marquez had a long talk with Spade as Nightmare was going on.

After hearing about the incident Jerry fined Starr, who then decided to get into an argument with him. Those who saw it said there was definitely some tension between the two after the exchange. Drake Walker definitely has his work cut out for him.

By this time all the members of the Billion Dollar Club had already been situated in a stretch limo with bottles of champagne and wine. Marquez, Gilmore, and Money had the Chaos Trios titles across their laps.

<img src='<a href="https://i.imgur.com/jFNvpEK.jpg'" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jFNvpEK.jpg'</a> />

Ironically, the group was actually going to a club that Jerry rented out for the evening for the SWF roster and crew. All the members of BDC were present and they would watch the show from the "Jinx" VIP room while enjoying drinks.

In this seven-minute clip, a 10-year-old boy gives Spade a letterman jacket which has "Spectacular" on the back and representative of the High School he went to; where he was a baseball and wrestling stand out.

"That's a clever way to get rid of him," Emma Chase said as she was sipping on a glass of Champagne with trap music being heard from the background. Marquez looks over in her direction.

"That asshole tried to sleep with several years ago. The roids have left his mind empty," Emma continues, drawing laughter from the Billion Dollar Club members.

Most of the locker room and backstage hands made their way to Jinx after the show came to a close. Luckily there wasn't any further drama. However, Antonio received a text message which made him a bit anxious shortly after Elite came to an end and partially ruined his night.

<div style="text-align:center;">Between Chapter Chat</div>

Remo's political tricks against Spencer Spade are having long-term consequences. It was also interesting that with the angle between Above All Be Extravagant (Bret Starr, Eason Extravagance [Lenny Rhodes], Biggz The Fabulous, and Emmy) and Spade launches that Starr decides to remind everyone that he's a headache backstage.

As you saw there are some other narratives playing out that I have a hand in, stay tuned for those. I'm also debuting a new section of the between chapter chat called 'Finding Diamonds' and will be featured in the next post. They will be from the perspective of the game universe.

I'm also considering a video in the future to give a visual representation of the game universe and everything that is going on.

The next chapter of the story will have quite a bit of drama just from things I have planned - there's no telling what else may go down with Spade or the rest of the game universe.

We will also see some other cool surprises to give further depth to the game world.

Also, the way Jerry represented the Big Smack Scott situation is fairly accurate. I did not fight hard to keep him and wasn't going to go over a certain amount during negotiations. He may be over, but he's probably never really drew many fans into the arena, and combine that with his attitude..yeah it just wasn't worth it. The backstage atmosphere isn't great - mainly due to Remo creating a lot of tension towards Spade.

Finding Diamonds #1

<div style="text-align:center;">Dirt Sheets</div>

<div style="text-align:left;">International Federation For Wrestling News

by Andy Bu</div>

It is my pleasure to bring to you the Finding Diamond series, which will highlight wrestlers from around the world who caught the eye of fans from local indie shows which often go ignored. With the advent of social media, wrestlers have a great opportunity to gain fanfare in ways that weren't available just ten years ago.

It's my goal to highlight those who didn't have the luxury of receiving their training at a top-notch Dojo or Wrestling School and break-in with a highly touted indie promotion.

Should we get this kicked off?

Hammer Dawn

<div style="text-align:center;">Hammer Dawn has been wrestling for eight years, but it wasn't until last month that he began to stand out from the local indie pack. His move to the United States has allowed him to receive more bookings and led to clips of his matches earning several thousand views. The new exposure could lead him to make a larger name for himself over the next several years.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">"Sugar & Spice" Madison Lykins is only 21 and has made a stir in her home state of Florida. Her unique look and charisma led to her becoming a favorite on Chirper and caused a number of fans to take notice over the past month. Lykins is a wrestler who has the opportunity to become a force in wrestling, especially with how women are being welcomed to the business around the world in far greater numbers than past decades. She is far from perfect in the ring, but she has plenty of time to improve.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Red Fury has worked hard on the local indies in South Eastern Mexico over the past several years and gained a reputation for his athleticism and flash. Last month he gained the attention of Lucha Libre fans when he took part against Gino Montero (ILL, OLLIE, and EEP) the current Campeanatos de Parejas OLLIE w/Slayyer. His exchanges with Montero during the match gained him fan fair and lead to chatter on Chirper and other social media outlets. Fury has spoken about his wish to wrestle in the United States as well and now has more doors open for him after his standout performance.</div>

"..You've got to be kidding me," Marquez whispers to himself on Tuesday afternoon after closing the door to room 325 behind him. Antonio's face is covered with disbelief and a measure of malice as he walks down the hall of the fancy Guerrero Plaza Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas.

He makes his way to the elevator and pulls out his phone to check the dirt sheets in an attempt to calm himself after his conversation with Richard Eisen.

While she wasn't drinking with the others (nor was Lisa Marie Gorgeous aka Lisa Bowen who is also pregnant) - she was enjoying herself prior to their opening scene at the Black Gold Saloon. Marquez likes being around Andrea who loves the business and her boyfriend El Mitico (SWF Television Champion) is pretty down to earth as well.

During the scene, the members of BDC were speaking to each other and made note of the camera being present. At one point Emma blew a kiss at the camera and said, "Wait until you see what's going up on Total Access," while holding Marquez and implying some x-rated material. The group also took shots at the fans and made reference to their lack of economic power and how they could never rent out a club like this. Several local actors were hired to play Texas Oil Executives and other wealthy individuals for the scene.

After the show, some of the roster came over to the Black Gold Saloon, while others decided to go for drinks elsewhere in the Fort Worth area. Of course, Spencer Spade came to the Saloon in order to avoid those who were holding ill-will towards him.

Antonio attempted to enjoy himself, yet his mind was caught up on the meeting he had with Richard Eisen. During the night Jerry walked past him, knowing what he and his dad spoke about. The only thing Jerry had to offer was a shrug and a shot of Tequila.

At the Saloon, there were several toasts for Andrea.

Billion Dollar Arrival

<div style="text-align:center;">Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: Settling In

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico details the first 'From Champagne With Love' mini series.</div>

On Wednesday morning the members of the Billion Dollar Club woke up early in their Fort Worth hotel as they had an early flight to Tijuana, Mexico - to the mansion of Antonio Maxi Marquez.

Every member is making the trip, even Andrea Alexis Winters who just went on paternity leave. Marquez arranged for the two-way tickets for the twelve-person group.

<a href="<a href="https://ibb.co/fTkbfH" rel="external nofollow">https://ibb.co/fTkbfH"><img</a> src="<a href="https://preview.ibb.co/enR4Zc/BDC.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://preview.ibb.co/enR4Zc/BDC.jpg"</a> alt="BDC" border="0"></a>

When they arrived in Tijuana on Wednesday afternoon the group settled in between the main house and the guest house (where Marquez's ring is). Later that evening they had dinner which was prepared by the Marquez's cook and the group was joined by the two housekeepers.

That night they discussed several ideas they had for the group going forward. While sitting in the living room in casual clothing, Emma remembered the date and reminded everyone, "The interview I did for Ring Of Culture, is being released tomorrow - that could be big for us."

"I forgot about that picture we took for them," Joe Money added. Emma nodded her head, "They told me they were doing an entire feature on us and the effect the Billion Dollar Club could have moving forward."

"I'm just glad to be a part of something like this." Justin Sensitive adds, "I thought they were close to firing me two years ago," he continues.

"We definitely have an opportunity to make this special. Jerry [Eisen] believes in us and we're getting great heat," Marquez adds from his spot on the couch.

"It's also nice to get some time off," says Stacks Gilmore who remains slightly conflicted over being a heel, "Why don't we go out for drinks?" His suggestion was an attempt to get the conversation off of the group.

"I'll be mobbed if anyone knows I'm back in Tijuana. I'll go through the cellular and get us some things to celebrate with," Marquez states, knowing Gilmore still needs time to grasp the group. The two have spoken privately and Stacks is concerned about affording to send his son to a good school as he and Jessica were just coming out of debt issues prior to their divorce.

"I'll help." Emma offers as she stands and begins walking behind Marquez. Antonio gave his housekeepers Dominique and Melinda the rest of the week off, along with cook Manuel.

"A cellular? Where is the secret cave Marquez uses to fight crime?" Robert Reginald Preston's joke draws a laugh out of everyone sitting on the couch and floor in the living room.

Billion Dollar Bonding

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: A Little Party

Emma Chase and Antonio Marquez are down in his cellular, inside of a basket they have gathered several bottles of wine, champagne, and craft beer. Emma examined the large room carefully, searching for any treats that she may be interested in indulging in. "How do you feel the interview went? We haven't really spoken about it."

"It was kayfabe and all that, I ran with what they gave me. It was fun," she pauses for a moment before sliding a white wine bottle out of a cubbie and placing it into the basket Marquez is holding. She looks up at him smiling, "It was the first time I was able to do that, Jerry has been able to get us a lot more freedom."

The two walk up the stairs, Marquez can't help himself but take a short peek at Emma's tone rear. Emma purposely walked slowly up the stairs to entice the probability of him taking a gentleman glance.

"Could you grab some of the beer in the fridge?" Marquez says to Emma as he begins walking back towards the living room. "Sure thing, Champagne Delight," she says playfully. As Marquez hears laughter from the living room as everyone seems to be getting along well, he sets the basket down before heading back to the kitchen.

On the way back he passes Emma who is caring two six packs of craft beer, she playfully winks at Marquez before walking to the living. Marquez opens one of his cabinets and starts pulling out wine glasses.

"This will be an interesting night," he whispers to himself as he walks back to where the party has begun.

Four pizza boxes are on the living room table, dance music is playing, and everyone besides Lisa Marie Gorgeous and Andrea Alexis Winters looks to be a bit drunk.

The night saw Marquez, Gilmore, and Money use the Chaos Trios Championships as guitars, The group getting the two rookies Ripped and Johansen to compete in a thirty-second push-up contest (Ripped won), Robert Reginald Preston show off his charisma by doing an acting impression, and telling road stories after a day of traveling and throwing ideas at each other to make the Billion Dollar Club a legendary stable.

Billion Dollar Culture

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: Front Page Rudos

The Ring of Culture magazine saw its first issue hit the shelves in March 1972. Originally, it focused on boxing, wrestling, and culture in general. While they covered 'important' topics like politics, legislation, and the complexity of leaders across their world; their coverage of entertainment along with the crazy worlds of boxing and wrestling turned the platform into an international success. Their respect for wrestling kayfabe has allowed them to stand out among the slew of wrestling journalists and dirt sites which have sprouted up throughout the decades. Many fans have stated their appreciation for this approach as it adds to their enjoyment of the many promotions which receive Ring of Culture coverage.

In April 2000, Ring of Culture made a huge digital push allowing the magazine to grow exponentially. Their daily digital outlet provides supplemental content for their weekly Thursday release of the larger Ring Of Culture magazine (which also is found in a digital format for subscribers); this method along with a number of podcasts attached to the brand has turned them into an influential, lucrative, and important voice in journalism and entertainment.

The 1st Week of September Thursday edition of the magazine is an important one for the Billion Dollar Club. On the cover, the entirety of the group is shown dressed in their best formal business wear. The white and black color scheme allows for a new age, corporate mafia feel. Emma Chase stands in the center with her hands on her hips, starring forward with a devilish grin.

Immediately to her left stand "Champagne Delight" Antonio Maxi Marquez, Joe Money, and Stacks Gilmore, each with 1/3 of the SWF Chaos Trios Championships on their shoulder. Marquez is wearing his patented sunglasses, Stacks Gilmore is wearing a new version of his "Money Themed" suit, and Money is giving a grin while holding up a money clip full of cash.

To her right are the 'Daughters of Fortune' Andrea Alexis Winters and Lisa Maria Gorgeous each in dresses. Behind the front line, the 'Wealth & Success' tag team and the other members of the group form two lines.

At the top of the cover reads, "Billion Dollar Takeover" and on either side is text previewing what's inside the magazine.

Driving Force Behind The Billion Dollar Club

By Jordan Donald

The article appearing in the middle of the magazine opens with a picture of Jordan sitting across from Emma Chase in what looks to be a press room. Both are wearing blouses and dressed formally.

"The Billion Dollar Club will be known as the greatest stable in wrestling history," Emma said to me in her trademark confident voice. Throughout her tenure in Supreme Wrestling Federation, which began May 2007, she has always been at the center of attention.

"We're already doing things I couldn't accomplish with the Chase Agency," she continued. After she led the Chase Agency to glory, she became the Color Commentator on Supreme TV -- proving that there was little she couldn't do in the business. However, the wrestling world was shocked when "Champagne Delight" Antonio Maxi Marquez announced that she brought together the Billion Dollar Club. The Supreme Challenge has seen many surprises throughout the years, yet the Billion Dollar Club may change the wrestling landscape for the next decade.

"We are not unaware of the attention we are receiving," Emma stated when I asked her if she was keeping up with the buzz surrounding the Billion Dollar Club on social media. "That's why I agreed to speak with you. Emma Chase is the public voice of the Billion Dollar Club and Billion Dollar Incorporated," she confidently expressed when I inquired as to why the rest of the group didn't accompany her to the interview.

As we have seen on recent SWF programming, there is a much larger entity backing the Billion Dollar Club. The families of Alexis Andrea Winters and Lisa Marie Gorgeous have been stated to be members of this unknown investing team, they haven't been dubbed, 'Daughter's of Fortune' for no reason.

The 'Wealth & Success' tag team in which they manage, The GGP (Gregory Griffin Parker) and Robert Reginald Preston also have multi high-dollar contacts which could be providing the group with the financial backing it needs for their exploits.

"Our resources are virtually endless," Emma remarked when speaking about why she feels Billion Dollar Club will be successful, "There have been those who claimed to have money; who have bribed officials, stroked their own egos, and annoyed petulant fans with their claims of wealth -- yet, none of those pretenders even came close to having the assets available to the BDC," she continued with a slight smirk on her face.

A picture capturing Antonio Maxi Marquez flying in the air about to deliver the Champagne Flight to Clay Clinton is used to split up the text. Underneath a picture of Emma standing in a ring, holding a microphone is shown.

The Billion Dollar Club has shown that they are also capable inside the ring. The 'First Class' tag team of Stacks Gilmore and Joe Money along with Antonio Maxi Marquez won a tournament for the Chaos Trio Championships at the inaugural Summer In Mexico City. The newly minted championship is only the first step according to Emma, "We're not satisfied with just the Chaos Trios Championship -- there is a lot of gold in SWF which will soon belong to us. We made it clear to our investors that we would soon dominate the SWF, unlike anyone else ever has."

Competition has never been greater at SWF. The Billion Dollar Club will have to contend with the likes of the current Intercontinental Champion ZimTastic, Valiant, Randy Legend, Vincent Issac Parker, the Angel's Of Virtue, Real Concept, and Jack Bruce if they are to actually dominate the company which no stable has ever been able to accomplish.

Emma laughed when I mentioned Jack Bruce and his match against Antonio Maxi Marquez at The Supreme Challenge, "I really have nothing more to say about Jack Bruce. He had his entire career handed to him, was given millions of dollars, and defeated by a far superior wrestler in his debut match in SWF. What more is there to say about him? He's a complete fraud." The sharp tone of her voice was not to be ignored. Although Bruce was a thorn in her side during Emma's reign as leader of the Chase Agency, she did not grant him an ounce of respect during our conversation.

A picture of Marquez, Gilmore, and Money holding up the Chaos Trios Championships immediately after winning them is featured. Underneath a Ring Of Culture exclusive photo of Justin Sensitive, Breston Blonde, Johansen, and Ripped is shown of the four posing in their white and black suits.

"Andrea and Lisa are going to help handle the assets of the Billion Dollar Club over the next year as we continue to gain equity from the SWF," Emma said with another grin on her face. "It must really annoy the so-called 'Women In Charge' that they have to pay us while we threaten their careers," she added with noticeable arrogance.

Adrienne Hewitt (CEO & Chairwoman), Louisa Angel (President), Cassandra Clausen (EVP, Talent Acquisitions), and Krissy Angelle (General Manager) have had their hands full with the Billion Dollar Club. That fact is not lost on Emma, "Our legal team is too vast and skilled for them to ever fire us. The best they can do is provide temporary obstacles," she commented when asked about the front office of SWF.

Whether Emma would care to admit it or not, the executives still hold authority over the company, meaning that the Billion Dollar Club will have to abide by their rulings on short-term issues -- especially during live events.

A Ring of Culture exclusive picture showing Winters and Gorgeous standing in front of The GGP and Preston is shown. Preston and GGP have briefcases in their hand, an allude to their 'Billion Dollar Offering.'

"There is absolutely nothing that will stop us, as we will doing anything necessary to increase our profits. It's in the best interest of everyone associated with SWF to accept us as the real authority," Emma stated after she was asked about any message she wished to deliver.

While Emma was cold, arrogant, and diminished the rest of the SWF -- it's difficult to question the future of the Billion Dollar Club. Stacks Gilmore has assaulted and betrayed his wife, Clay Clinton was attacked for critiquing them, and they have proven to be on the same page. If this stable continues to work together there isn't anyone that can stop them without help -- not even the legendary Jack Bruce, who hasn't been seen since he was defeated by Champagne Delight.

All eyes in the wrestling world rest on the SWF and the Billion Dollar Club. Yet, do any of us really know what we are about to witness?

Sparring, Class, & An Idea

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: Thirsty Thursday

"How did I do?" Emma asks as the members of the Billion Dollar Club finish reading the Ring Of Culture article which was displayed on one of Marquez's large flat screen smart TV's in his living room. "I'm just glad to be involved in something like this," the 22-year-old Johansen replied. "The piece is already getting a lot of buzz online," Andrea stated as she went through her phone.

Antonio knew that the Ring Of Culture feature would only help the group. They spent several hours that morning discussing further ideas for the group over the next several months. Each member had the opportunity to deliver their input, nobody was treated as inferior.

***

Around 3 pm local time Stacks and Antonio sparred in Marquez's ring in the guest house. They also worked with Ripped, Johansen, Sensitive, Preston, GGP, and Blonde on several things. Chase, Gorgeous, Money, and Winters watched the session which lasted until about 5 pm. The younger workers asked Gilmore, Marquez, and Money a number of questions.

***

Marquez was able to acquire two limos to take the group to the exclusive and private Club Humo de Tijuana on Thursday night. There they spent several hours interacting with several popular actors, singers, and SOTBPW Main Eventer, El Hijo Del Sultan was present enjoying his time off with an attractive date. Marquez and Sultan spoke for approximately seven minutes while Sultan sipped on a whiskey cocktail and Marquez champagne.

Luckily for the group (aside from Marquez) nearly all of the other patrons spoke at least conversational English. Marquez enjoyed giving his stablemates a hard time for not being bilingual.

***

After returning to Marquez's home after a classy night out Emma had an idea which resonated with the crew, "Are there any private beaches we can visit tomorrow Marquez?"

Billion Dollar Friday Beach Day

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: Catching Some Rays

You can rub a little lower, papi.

Antonio Maxi Marquez let out a laugh and shakes his head. The Billion Dollar Club members took several of his vehicles out to a private beach in Tijuana, which is known to be a frequent spot for high profile individuals who want a measure of privacy.

The ladies and gentleman are wearing typical beachwear, with Lisa Marie Gorgeous and Andrea Alexis Winters are taking it easy due to their pregnancy.

Emma Chase is lying prone on her stomach, a beach towel underneath her. Several moments ago she asked Marquez to rub lotion on her back -- Marquez decided to not rub lower than slightly beneath her shoulders.

The others are throwing around several frisbees, besides Ripped who is resting off to the side after taking a run on the beach. Dude is forever trying to stay fit.

<img src='

You spend a couple of days in Mexico and now you're calling me papi.

Isn't that what Adrienne and Jennifer call you?

Marquez laughs again as Emma's tone is one of a tease. Antonio knows that nobody is going to drop the jokes about him and Adrienne anytime soon.

<img src='

https://i.imgur.com/u5jqk7X.jpg' />

Don't make me spank you Emma.

Marquez didn't know what else to respond given the situation. Emma laughs.

Don't threaten me with a good time, Champagne Delight.

Emma turns her head to the other side as Antonio shakes his head again. He gives in and begins rubbing lotion on her lower back.

***

Later in the afternoon, the group held a picnic after sending Johansen to a local store to pick up food and drinks for everyone. When he returned the group (aside from fellow rookie Ripped) gave him a mock applause.

Over lunch, they discussed several issues concerning their ideas to approach Jerry Eisen with.

***

After another round of frisbee, the group packed up and headed back to Marquez's mansion. Marquez led the caravan, driving one of his SUVs. Beside him was Emma who asked a question, Antonio really didn't want to hear.

What did Richard talk to you about?

Billion Dollar Saturday

Billion Dollar Club In Mexico: Laid Back

Marquez woke up Saturday morning and immediately met with his agent Canello Casillas who came over to discuss some projects. Antonio was excited to hear about a company interested in him and the entirety of Billion Dollar Club endorsing their formal wear. Evidently, a Mexican based Champagne company wants to name their product after him. The attention gained from signing with Supreme Wrestling Federation has led to Marquez becoming even more in-demand within his home country.

***

Saturday afternoon Gilmore, Money, and Marquez led a training session with Preston & GGP (Wealth & Success) against Billion Dollar Detail (Ripped & Johansen). Marquez also made sure to get into the ring and roll around a bit.

Despite his shoulder injury, his body was feeling extremely fresh due to the much lighter schedule he has in SWF. While working with Justin Sensitive he broke out a move he'd been wanting to use for awhile.

Gilmore ribbed him a bit by claiming Marquez had been watching Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods too much -- before letting everyone know that the move was called "Delight Slice."

***

That night everyone packed their bags and prepared for their plane on Sunday afternoon to return back to work. Evidently, they don't get to stay on vacation forever and have to wrestle, cut promos, while dealing with the consistent drama in the locker room.

Antonio was also dreading having to follow through on what Richard asked of him. That's the cost of doing business with a snake, he thought to himself before falling asleep.
