JeriLynn was driving Kirk back to the airfield after the show. She really wished she could take the time to go back to Minnesota with him, even just to spend time with him on the plane and then jet back to Halifax, but she couldn't. While they spent a lot of time emailing and IM-ing back and forth, and more than a few evenings a week on the phone (when it wasn't a show night), JeriLynn wished she could spend more time with him; absence making the heart grow fonder and all that. Usually Kirk was very talkative when they were alone, but on this drive he stared out the car window at the lights of the city. [COLOR="Red"]"Hey babe, are you OK? You did fine tonight, really -- or is that not what's bothering you?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"Hm? No, I'm OK with tonight -- Kashmir's a neat guy, he was really helpful."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"OK, so what is it? Do you just want some space?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"I don't know. I'm just tired -- I have a bunch of stuff to read before my final next week. On one hand, it's cool having just one class, but they make you do so much on your own."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"Yeah, J-term is definitely a change of pace."[/COLOR] Saint Knud's ran a 4-1-4 calendar, which meant that in the month of January, you only took one class, but it crammed a semester's worth of content into the one-month timeframe -- that's why you only ever took one class. [COLOR="red"]"Do you have your schedule for next term?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"Yeah, I was able to set my schedule up pretty well -- my Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes are all early, I'm done by noon, which gives me time to hop on the plane on Wendesday if I'm scheduled to perform. I only have one Tuesday-Thursday class and it's not until 2pm, so it works out. It would be impossible if I was trying to be on the wrestling team at Saint Knud's as well -- I might as well only work NOTBPW shows in the summer then. Dad is still furious with me for not being on the wrestling team, but he at least bought the notion that I wanted to focus on football."[/COLOR] [I]Now we're getting someplace[/I], JeriLynn thought to herself. [COLOR="Red"]"Have you told them anything about us?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"They know I have a girlfriend, but I haven't told them really anything else."[/COLOR] There was a brief pause. "[COLOR="blue"]Look, I know I haven't been very open about my family. To be honest my parents and I don't have the healthiest of relationships, and I have wanted to spare you any crap along that line for as long as I can, especially with everything you've been doing the past few weeks."[/COLOR] JeriLynn nodded. [COLOR="Red"]"OK, I can deal with that -- but you're going to have to tell them something, especially if you're planning to spend the summer with me."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"I know, I just need to be able to find the right time to do it."[/COLOR] They pulled up to the business aviation terminal at the airport in Montreal. JeriLynn pulled Kirk to her and they kissed for a minute or so in goodbye. --- [QUOTE][B]The Week in Wrestling (January 2007 Week 3)[/B] Warlord Pain defeated Tribal Warrior for the USPW National title ([url]www.uspw.com[/url]) Darryl Devine has left 4C, signing a written contract with SWF ([url]www.tew.com[/url]) Whippy the Clown signs a PPA contract with 4C ([url]www.tew.com[/url]) Joey Poison signs a PPA contract with CGC ([url]www.tew.com[/url]) CGC Elimination pulls a 0.25 buy rate; show is rated C ([url]www.tew.com[/url]) Chance signs with 4C as a road agent ([url]www.tew.com[/url]) Trent Shaffer signs with 4C ([url]www.tew.com)[/url][/QUOTE]

Growing up in the Maritimes, I thought I had an appreciation for what 'remote' meant. Halifax is a decent size city, but it doesn't take long to get out and into some desolate country. That being said, there was an element of structure to it, as you couldn't go too far before hitting another town or the ocean. The Prairies are entirely different. You can literally drive for hours without seeing anything. You can feel very small out there, and very alone. It was unnerving to be honest. What towns and cities are out there stand like a giant oasis in the desert. This was the setting for my first show in Saskatchewan -- Saskatoon, to be precise. The theme for this touring show was "let's put some of our new guys out there as tag teams and see if we can find some potential regulars" [QUOTE][B]NOTBPW Presents -- Mat Masters Tour -- Monday, Week 4, January 2007[/B] Emma Bitch defeated Grace Harper in 7:57 by pinfall with The Payback.

[B]North Of The Border Pro Wrestling held NOTBPW Mat Masters tour last night at Pengrowth Place, and drew 1700 fans. The feedback from viewers has been positive, with most having liked the vast majority of the show.[/B] [/QUOTE] Like last week, we found more things not to do than things to do: [LIST] [*][COLOR="Green"]Melody Cuthill and Tamara McFly have pretty good chemistry, and it lifted the match. [/COLOR][I](Good to see, I like Tamara a lot and want to see her look good.)[/I] [*][COLOR="Red"]Grace Harper and Emma Bitch don't seem to click, and it made for an awkward bout. [/COLOR][I](In many ways I'm still trying to figure out what to do with Grace -- I know she wants to focus on wrestling, but I'm not finding many ways to use her well, and I could really use her in other roles quite effectively...)[/I] [*][COLOR="red"]Marc Speed and Joss Thompson have absolutely zero chemistry as partners.[/COLOR] [I](Crud. I was hoping this one would work better, but at least it was the only negative chemistry pairing we found in the show.)[/I] [/LIST] That being said, I was glad to see that most of my pairings worked out OK -- we will be seeing more of Flash and Hash, Hard Working Wild Men and Samoan Insanity in the tag division. Unfortunately, this show had one particularly sour note -- Rhino Umaga caught Uncle Duane just wrong on a very stiff superkick and drilled him in the side of the head. He still couldn't hear out of his left ear the next morning and a trip to the doctor confirmed that he'd blown his eardrum out. Luckily that was all it was; it could have turned out much worse. He'll be able to work through it, but I will see if I can rearrange the schedule for him a bit so he can get some recovery time in.

Is your plane to Toronto on schedule? I'm a little concerned about all the plane time you're logging -- I know you're a Super Double Platinum Lifetime frequent flyer on Canadian Air and get treated like royalty, but going back and forth every week, sometimes even twice, is going to wear you down, and folks are starting to notice. I'm really happy with how the fans are responding to you and Sean and I want to set this feud up to go for a good long time, even having you trade the strap back and forth a couple of times. You need to be at 100% to make that work, though, and I don't think that can happen with you on a plane for 20+ hours a week. Your NOTBPW contract comes due in two months, but I would like to know now: What will it take to put you on a written contract with us?

[B][I][SIZE="4"]OOC Announcement:[/SIZE][/I][/B] I will be taking the family on vacation starting Thursday 3/15 and not getting back until Sunday 3/25. While the laptop that has TEW is coming along, it won't be a very high priority, so there will likely be no updates in that time -- I will try to write up the TV taping that I just put the preview up for before I leave.

[praguepride]

Well? What happens? Or is this thread dead?

[Wallbanger]

Not dead, just needing a vacation from my vacation... :D Seriously, though, gotta wade through my backlog at work before I can do the next writeup. I should be able to get back on track tonight or tomorrow night.

After the show, we drove into the city to meet the rest of the crew at a little out-of-the-way bar where we could enjoy a few beers without undue attention -- Grandpa and the owner are old army buddies, and he pretty much clears the place out except for a handful of longtime patrons when we're in town for us. Dad was driving the car and I was in the backseat talking with Grandpa. [COLOR="Red"]"Grandpa, please reconsider."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"No."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"Grandpa, his contract expires in two months, and we have the Cup in that timeframe. That only gives us one more PPV unless we renew, and his price won't change between now and then."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"No. It's too much money."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"It's not too much money! Yes, it's the high end of the scale, but it's not out of line with what the other top main eventers are getting. Besides, have you looked at the month end numbers??"[/COLOR] --- [CODE][B][SIZE="2"]NOTBPW Finance (January 2007) Cash: 8,472,847 Performance: [COLOR="Green"]472,847[/COLOR] Income PPV Revenue: 188,210 Ticket Sales: 1,217,068 Sponsors: 505,971 Merchandise: 46,308 Misc.: 0 Expenditure Workers: 213,275 Show Costs: 218,000 Marketing: 100,000 Merchandise: 144,731 Production: 256,000 Misc.: 552,724[/SIZE][/B][/CODE] --- [COLOR="red"]"We cleared almost half a million this month. That includes 5 dates Cliff worked at $2,200 a show, for $11,000. If I have him work every Mat Masters date as well in a month, that's 9 dates in total for $19,800. That, however, means expecting him to show on Monday when he has likely worked both of GCG's weekend shows -- it's not reasonable to expect that of him physically, and it's worth the premium -- only $10,000 a month more than we paid him last month, to have him healthy and exclusively working our shows."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"You do realize, dear, that GCG will go off tour next month?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"And they go back to touring in April -- March is Cup month for us, which is exactly the month we could spare him. PGHW made an offer to him earlier this month, and Burning Hammer will come calling sooner or later."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"$21,000 a month is too much, regardless."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"He has already put in two Match of the Year candidates in, with Dad and Uncle Sean, and every other match has been top quality. We're not going to find equivalent talent and overness for less."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"You're going to have to, my dear. If he won't accept $16,000 a month, then NOTBPW will let his contract lapse, and we will wish him our best in his future endeavors."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"There's no way he'll take that, Grandpa! You're tying my hands here!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"If and when you inherit the business, you can run it the way you see fit. Until then, you would do well to remember that [B][I]I[/I][/B] own this company."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"Dad, talk to him!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Green"]"Oh no no no, Miss Head Booker, you're not dragging me into this -- I know better than to go up against my father when his mind is made up, and trust me, his mind is made up."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]"Don't get me wrong, dear, you make a strong case. You're almost sound like Cliff's agent -- and that's the problem. You need to act like [B][I]MY[/I][/B] agent, and make just as strong a case that his request is not optimal value for us. Also, you need to consider an alternative main event feud for the moment, on the assumption that Cliff decides to let his contract lapse. Now, I've discussed this as much as I care to tonight, and besides, we've arrived at the bar."[/COLOR] Even I know better than to press at this point -- nothing gets in the way of Grandpa's after-show beer, even me.

[Wallbanger]

I chatted with Cliff the next day over breakfast. Without going into too much detail, I let him know that we were still trying to get numbers to work out and that it would probably be better to hold off until he could be in Canada for a longer period of time, perhaps as the GCG tour was winding down. It was clear, however, that Cliff picked up on the unstated message as well, that his number was too high and that he would need to reconsider it over the next few weeks. He was very cordial throughout and we left each other on good terms as we headed to our respective planes. Despite the setback, I was in a good mood. J-term was wrapping up at St. Knud's and Kirk would be in Halifax with me over the term break as well as working the Monday Mat Masters show before heading back to Minnesota. On Friday we had our month end business/creative meeting. This time we actually went to the office downtown, as we had time scheduled with Tom and Tommy as well as Richard Coleman and Craig Prince to review personnel issues. However, as Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Vickie, Kirk and I arrived at the office, the front office manager handed us printouts of a TEW.com article published just thirty minutes earlier: --- [QUOTE]EDMONTON, ALBERTA (TEW.COM) -- A group of Edmonton-based investors announced today the formation of the Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation. The CWWF is the first promotion in Canadian history to promote shows entirely based around female athletes. The precedent for sucessful women's wrestling promotions is already well established based on the success of the Angel Athletic Association and the women's divison of Dan Stone's North of The Border Professional Wrestling. The lead investor, whose name is being withheld temporarily due to his being unable to be present for the announcement, is already well known in Canadian professional wrestling circles, but has been in Japan for the past few years. It is believed that his experience in the Orient, where women's wrestling is even more popular than it is in North America, will give CWWF a leg up in quickly develolping a credible promotion that will give AAA a serious run. How AAA will respond to serious competition in the North American market to women's wrestling is yet to be seen; owner Anne Stardust was unavailable for comment when TEW.com contacted their Seattle headquarters. Another factor in CWWF's early fortunes will be how NOTBPW responds. Their recent pursuit of market share in the western provinces, along with key talent signings in the past month, send a strong signal that the Stone family fully intends to use its market position to its advantage. Despite these challenges, early indications from the CWWF investor group reveal a well organised promotion who seem to be willing to take risks. They have the potential to become a big success story.[/QUOTE] --- Grandpa stroked his chin. [COLOR="Green"]"Hmm. An interesting development. I wonder who their lead investor is."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"]"You haven't heard anything?"[/COLOR] Aunt Vickie asked. [COLOR="Green"]"Hrmph. No one tells me anything anymore, at least not scuttlebutt. They're all afraid if I hear something I'll go do something about it."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"Well, would you?"[/COLOR] I queried. [COLOR="Green"]"It would depend on what it was. JeriLynn, I want you to pay attention to this story, see what you can dig up out there in the internet. If their mystery owner is someone we know and can work with, it may be an opportunity for us."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"]"The flip side, however, is also possible, Dad -- they may not want to work with us at all."[/COLOR] Victoria said. [COLOR="Green"]"True enough. It is worth drawing up some extention paperwork for our key women's workers -- who aren't named Stone, of course."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]"That will probably cost us some money, Grandpa," [/COLOR]I said. [COLOR="Green"]"You were so gung-ho on spending it just two days ago, JeriLynn."[/COLOR] Grandpa replied with just a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Dad tried, and failed, to hold back a chuckle. [COLOR="Red"]"[I]Anyway[/I], we can offset the costs by releasing lower-quality workers. I think it's time we let Alysian and Mammoth go."[/COLOR] Grandpa frowned. [COLOR="Green"]"It is the correct business decision -- go ahead and start the process."[/COLOR] Grandpa never liked firing people, it went against his nature. He genuinely thinks of NOTBPW as his extended family, which is an admirable quality, so far as it goes.

The recent snow gave the Saint Knud campus a sense of quiet as Kirk and I made our way to his dorm. Classes wouldn't start up again until Monday, but there was still quite a bit of activity as people made their way back to school from whereever they'd been. Grandpa was kind enough to let me go back with Kirk to Minnesota for the weekend and I would rejoin the family in Vancouver for the Mat Masters show. Kirk's roommate, Derek, was already back when we opened the door to Kirk's room on the seventh floor of Bering Hall. Derek was a stoner from North Dakota, and was a philosophy major (naturally). Kirk was none too fond of him, but kept his distaste to himself mostly (except to kvetch to me). [COLOR=blue]"Dude, there's like three messages on the answering machine from your mom,"[/COLOR] Derek said as we walked in the door. Kirk's eyebrow raised. [COLOR=indigo]"Why is she calling the room? She knows my cell phone number."[/COLOR] Almost on cue, Kirk's cell phone started ringing. He stepped out into the hall. Derek grabbed a Leinenkugel's from the mini fridge and put his headphones on to listen to music. Saint Knud is supposed to be a dry campus - which is the second most broken rule on campus. The first most broken rule is that there aren't supposed to be girls in the boys dorms and vice versa. None of us did very well at being good Lutheran boys and girls, apparently. Kirk came back into the room, noticeably upset. He strode across the room and tapped Derek on the shoulder. [COLOR=indigo]"Hey, could you do me a favor and make yourself scarce tonight?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"No trouble at all, dude,"[/COLOR] Derek replied. He looked over at me with a pathetic grin and continued, [COLOR=blue]"Planning a little badonkadonk tonight?"[/COLOR] Kirk's eyes narrowed. [COLOR=indigo]"I should drill you for that, but I have other issues right now. My parents are in town and are springing a surprise visit on me."[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"Ohh, harsh. Gimme a minute and I'll bail. And I didn't mean nothin' by that, just giving you a hard time's all."[/COLOR] I tried hard to surpress a smirk -- it's not a good idea when you're someone like Derek to mouth off to someone like Kirk, especially if he's in a pissy mood. True to his word, Derek grabbed a few things to stuff in his knapsack and cleared out. Once he left, Kirk turned to me and said, [COLOR=indigo]"No matter what, we do not mention wrestling to Mom and Dad at all."[/COLOR] I stared at him, puzzled. [COLOR=red]"Why?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo]"Because they don't know I'm doing it."[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]"WHAT?!"[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo]"Remember, not healthy relationship? I don't have time to get into it, they'll be here any minute! We gotta get down to the entrance lounge, they'll freak if they find you here in the room -- hell, they may even tell the head resident!"[/COLOR] We made our way downstairs and settled into the comfy chairs by the fireplace. Kirk was fidgeting and constantly looking over toward the doorway. It was very much unlike him. After a few minutes, they arrived. I was struck immediately by their, well, perfectness. Kirk's dad was a broad shouldered, rugged looking man with a square jaw and perfectly placed hair, with only a few wisps of grey belieing his age. Kirk's mom was a beautiful, slender woman with a confident air in her stride. It was clear that Kirk's genetics were no fluke. [COLOR=green]"Well, there you are! Good to see you, son! How was your break?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo]"It was fine, Dad, only got back a few hours ago. In fact, Mom, Dad, this is JeriLynn."[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]"Ah, so this is the wench who kept my son from coming home last week!"[/COLOR] Kirk's face went white, and I'm sure I was beet red. Apparently Kirk's dad noticed the discomfort and attempted to recover: [COLOR=green]"I'm sorry, I was only trying to break the ice and didn't do too good a job, obviously. JeriLynn, I'm John Heidenreich and this is my wife, Sue. We've heard rather a bit about you and I'm glad we finally had the chance to meet."[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]"It's good to meet you both as well, Mr. and Mrs. Heidenreich."[/COLOR] Looking John in the eye, I grinned and said, [COLOR=red]"It's very clear where Kirk gets his good looks from."[/COLOR] Now he was the one blushing. A few more minutes of small talk later, it was decided that we would all go into town for a bite to eat. Dinner didn't seem particularly awkward, though you wouldn't have thought that from Kirk's temperment. It was like he was an entirely different person. We got back to campus and it was clear I was going to need to make an exit, since I couldn't go with them up to his room. [COLOR=red]"Well, I'm sure you need to catch up on a few things, so I'll go over to Thorsen Hall and see if any of my friends have made it back yet."[/COLOR] I had just stepped outside and was starting the walk accross the campus green (which, of course, wasn't very green at the moment with all of the snow) when I heard Kirk's mother call out behind me, [COLOR=magenta]"Wait for a moment, JeriLynn!"[/COLOR] I stopped and turned back to face her. [COLOR=magenta]"JeriLynn, just between us women, can I ask you a question?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]"Certainly, Mrs. Heidenreich, what is it?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=magenta]"Do you have any idea why Kirk quit the wrestling team?"[/COLOR] I could feel my heartrate quickening -- I hate lying, but Kirk's given me little choice. [COLOR=red]"I don't, Mrs. Heidenreich. He never really talked to me about it."[/COLOR] [COLOR=magenta]"I see. I really don't understand it, Kirk has always loved wrestling. The coach was really upset after finding out, he believes Kirk can be a national champion. At home, Kirk was focused and determined to achieve his goals. It seems like he's distracted here, and it's important that Kirk have as few distractions as possible so he can focus on his priorities."[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]"He seems to be doing fine, Mrs. Heidenreich. He made all-conference in football this year as a freshman, led the team in tackles, and the Fighting Reindeer made the postseason for the first time in 15 years. On top of that, he's pulled decent grades in fall semester and J-term. That doesn't sound like someone who's distracted to me."[/COLOR] Of course, I couldn't tell her how un-distracted he's been as he's learned the ropes of professional wrestling, or how much of a perfectionist he is and how much he beats himself up when he doesn't get something right. [COLOR=magenta]"Well, there are distractions here. Kirk is at an awkward stage in his life and right now he really needs to focus on what's important. To be frank, JeriLynn, I think his relationship with you is a distraction, and I think it would be in his best interests if you stopped seeing him."[/COLOR] I bit my tongue to keep what I wanted to say from blurting out. Regaining my composure, I replied in a level tone, [COLOR=red]"I'm sorry you feel that way, Mrs. Heidenreich. But the only people who have any say in Kirk's and my relationship are Kirk and me."[/COLOR] I turned around and quickly walked away. As I replayed the confrontation in my head over and over again, I could feel myself getting more and more worked up, so that by the time I got to Thorsen, I was fighting back tears.

My head was pounding and my stomach was in knots. After finding a couple of my old roommates and telling them of my woes, they took me back into town for a girl's night out. I don't drink much usually, but I had to do something to get that damn woman's image out of my head. When we got to the bar, we grabbed a table and I went to the bar. When I demanded two bottles of Crown Royal Special Reserve at the bar, the bartender looked at me like I was crazy -- college students usually don't ask for $50 bottles of whiskey. But since I paid cash, I obviously wasn't as crazy as I looked. The three of us emptied both bottles over the next couple of hours. I'm not entirely sure how I got back to campus, but I found myself in my old bed, in my old room the next morning -- luckily for me, they never found a new roommate for Krystal after I moved out before Christmas. Krystal asked a few questions, but I was somewhat evasive; even in my hungover state, I remembered that Krystal and Kirk were related and I didn't want anything I said getting back to him at the moment. Now, I was down in the computer lounge catching up on work. I had seen the article in Pro Wrestling Hits Magazine Online and had already been exchanging emails with our lawyers in Halifax getting status updates on our negotiations. CGC getting an American network was a concern, along with TCW's expansion. I also fired off an email to an old NOTBPW friend, to both congratulate him on his new endeavor and to see if he wanted to partner with us... --- [QUOTE] [CENTER][IMG]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/Wallbanger1071/LarryWood.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="3"][B]Larry Wood Introduced as Lead Owner of CWWF[/B][/SIZE] EDMONTON, ALBERTA (TEW.COM): Canadian professional wrestling star Larry Wood was revealed to be the lead owner of the recently founded Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation at a news conference Friday afternoon in Edmonton.
