TNA: Dixie believes Jarrett, Jarrett believes Russo, Or Well He Did

[DodgyDavid]

The way TNA works...Dixie believed Jarrett and Jarrett believed Russo...well at least he did TNA was in a definite decline in both creative storylines and wrestlers morale. We all knew it. It just took time for it to really sink in, that problem is Vince Russo. Jarrett has finnally relised it and as Dixie belives Jarrett. Russo meet door, door meet Russo. Here's where I come in. My name is David DeLorean and I have been booking for 11 years, after booking SWA into the ground, it took a while before I had another chance, another opertunity. I got it in Vince Russo's new promotion, ROF. Ive never been friends with Russo, in fact ive never liked Russo, but you've got to do what you've got to do, to do what you love to do. It didn't last very long, Vince gave up on it and sold it off. Russo moved on to TNA and we are back to the present. TNA were aware of my existance and knowing they needed a booker and quick, why not trace your last one back to someone who could do his job. I was phoned and I flyed in early Tuesday, had a meeting which I landed, I love those what to do in a job interview books, saved my butt many times. So next thing I know I am clearing Russo's plack off his old desk as I sit down at his old chair. My smirk was soon ripped from my face as I relised ive got a creative meeting tommorow and...emm...I kind of lacking in creative idea's. I get my pen and my papper and get ready for a long night...

[DodgyDavid]

I had my briefcase full of ilegible notes and ideas. Lucky for me this creative meeting was more like a Briefing. I was still trying to figure out Jarrett, although im not much of a figureouter. As I still hadn't figured out Russo, but really no one did. Jarrett asked me about their current product, I used short answers to hopefully cover up the fact that my knoledge of the current product was really lacking. Jarrett kept telling me that if the changes to the product must be very subtle and not to make the change over very noticable, he used the example I don't want Sting vs. Steiner main eventing one day and have Bryan Danielson and Alex Shelly the next. I saw were he was coming from, all it did was solidify the get the tapes of the recent impacts thought in my mind I got home that night, impact videos in hand quickly setting up my dusty VCR and pressing play. I watch the latest PPV destination x and write down notes. The main one being Samoa Joe defeating Christian Cage for the World Championship. I am also informed by my friend that The Great Muta is now signed with us, yeah thanks guys, the head booker isn't even informed of signings anymore. I send my finished show off to Jarrett and I get a quick reply, he's happy with it. The game begins... OOC: BTW, I know Christian retained, I started this diary on Saturday, what do you want!

[SHaynes23]

This has some really good content in it and it's a good read. The one thing I would say to work on is maybe the format of it, to make it more appealing at first glance and a little bit easier to read. Great start so far, good to have another TNA dynasty on here, good luck.

[DodgyDavid]

thank you very much, I have also been reading your diary on the edge of my seat. I am still experimenting with my formatting, im hoping to get something im happy with for the next show.
