[SIZE="3"][B][U]January 2008[/U][/B] It was really gonna happen. The bank had given me the £10,000 loan to start up my own promotion and i had already called most of the wrestlers i had met during my tenure at Ring Of Fire and got a few people to agree to do a show for me. And to make things all the more sweet, i had managed to get a few ROF-ers to work for me on a Pay-per-appearance deal. All i needed was a name. I had originally thought about naming it something that would be a slight at Ring of Fire, but realised that if it took off i would be stuck with that name. The final name was decided by Karl Dexter, Minor Annoyance and myself. We decided to name it after my home town. And thus the Port-South Wrestling Association was born or PWA as we referred to it. I went to my local community centre and practically begged them to let me put a show on there. They eventually gave in and i started on the flyer. Once finished i couldn't help but stick one to the door of British Samurai's house. On the flyer were the words "[B][U]Im not done yet!!![/U][/B]" [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/adambn/pwamarch.png[/IMG][/CENTER][/SIZE] [QUOTE]Its strange how this story came about. I hadn't originally planned it this way. But when i saw in the news ticker about Petey Barnes friendships and Stevie Stoat and Justin Blackhams dislike of me, the idea began forming. Followed up by Remianen's message about cheating in Pure federations and i knew just how to play this.[/QUOTE]

It was starting to feel a bit depressing what with the being fired and then the rain starting to pour but now it's happy days! (minus 'The Fonz') Nice twist! :)

Why not have the Fonz too: [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/Imarevenant/Fonzie.jpg[/IMG] On a serious note, glad to see, you weren't out of work too long. And rock on with the Toby Juan Kanobi. Being the Star Wars fan that I am, I always wanted to hire him and Jeb, and just push them to the moon. :D

Cool diary. Your story has been quite amusing and has a good flow to it. I liked the way you got fired and then started up your own promotion, it was very realistic, and enjoyable. I bet it's happened just like that in real life at least once. Also to bad this isn't TEW 2007, otherwise you could build your promotion up and maybe get the chance to buy out ROF :D. Then you could make Stevie Stoat and British Samurai jobbers, and give them really lame gimmicks. *Insert evil laugh*
