Anubis Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 [B][U]Tuesday, Week 2, August 1984[/U][/B] I am happy to report that we have secured a new television slot with ESPN. This will mark the debut of a new program, NWA Wrestling, to air live Mondays at 9:00. [B][U]Friday, Week 2, August 1984[/U][/B] We really pulled a major coup today, though it is sadly at the expense of one of our own. We have signed none other than Gordon Solie, stealing him from rivals GCW and WCCW! He will be the lead announcer on the new NWA Wrestling program, and Bob Caudle's contract will not be renewed. [B][U]Saturday, Week 2, August 1984[/U][/B] We successfully signed a contract extension for Tommy Young today.

Anubis Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 [B][U]Tuesday, Week 4, August 1984[/U][/B] Here we are, judgment day: contract negotiations with Ric Flair. So far, he is asking for about $31,000 a month, which is more than reasonable for someone of his talent and popularity. Sadly, Jim Crockett Jr. blocked that one; I tried offering $25,000 a month, $26,000 a month, even $27,000 a month; all of these offers were rejected. Negotiations will continue tomorrow. [B][U]Wednesday, Week 4, August 1984[/U][/B] The most Jim Crockett Jr. will allow me now is $26,725 a month, but that alone is not enough to sway Ric Flair. So I offered him that plus creative control, paid travel expenses, 50% on merchandise, 40% pay-per-view bonus, and a promises main event title run . . . The verdict . . . Rejected. Looks like this may be the end of the line, but we will try again tomorrow. [B][U]Thursday, Week 4, August 1984[/U][/B] I bumped the pay-per-view bonus up to 50% today, which is the absolute most I can offer. $26,500, rejected. $26,700, rejected. With that, Ric Flair ended negotiations and has stated that he will be leaving when his contract is up. Jim Crockett Jr. is a bloody fool! One would think that I had earned his trust by exposing Vince McMahon's plot to him. One would think that I had earned his trust by turning his promotion into the greatest in the world. For some reason, that is not enough, and now he has lost his best wrestler. I have had enough of his nincompoopery! He has not just lost his best wrestler, he has also lost his head booker! When Flair walks out those doors at the end of his contract, so shall I! [B][U]Sunday, Week 4, August 1984[/U][/B] Today, I received a sign that times are indeed changing and that moving on is the right decision. Such happy news: I have learned that my wife is pregnant, and is due sometime in April!

I have proven myself as capable with the bank as I am with the book. This is absolute confirmation; Jim Crockett Jr. is a fool.

theoutlaw321 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 So when is Flair's contract up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Little over a week. From the looks of it, I'll be booking one more edition of NWA Wrestling, and then it's sayonara. It's sad, I had a lot of big storyline plans for the next cycle. I guess, once I leave NWA, I'll go ahead and reveal the plans I did have going into the next storyline cycle. Bummer that my time with the NWA had to end this way. I decided that it warranted me setting Flair to "strong friendship" and Crockett to "strong dislike" over this, since that's how I would see it playing out in reality. After all, Flair was loyal to the NWA and to Crockett, and they basically spit in his face. Guess now I have to figure out where Doug Dunvegan goes next. I just hope people who do read will continue to read as we head into the next chapter of The Dunvegan Dynasty. EDIT: I dunno what happened to my brain to miscalculate the number, heh. It expires in 10 days, so that means there are two editions of NWA Wrestling left from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am both happy and angry. Being happy comes from seeing the ship I built floating even without me, which fill me with pride because I know I was the one who saved it. Being angry comes from not being able to ride that ship any longer due to the captain's foolishness. Ah well, it happens. Time to move on.
