A New W.A.V.E
Things are finally going my way again. Of course that is not a surprise, I am Jerome Johansen. I was just going thru a rough patch.
Martin Morris caught me when I was at my weakest. I'll admit it my war with Ike Simmons took a lot out of me. Then that damn Sergent Sargent entered my promotion. Him and Morris were in a conspiracy to drive me crazy. Cost me so much money to fix this. The cage alone was close to a million dollars. I lost so much of my undercard to injuries. But its okay X-Mas Xrisis made the money back and something wonderful happened.
Morris lost the W*RE Planetary championship. Once Monolith won number one contendership my plan was set in motion. Todd Ripstone getting put into the match was a bonus. Todd actually winning was not a part of my plan. But I knew I could deal with Todd. One of my most loyal wrestlers. Ever since him and Brent joined W*RE in 1988 and brought me the WAVE tag team championship.
One thing I knew about Morris was despite his claims of being a brilliant tactician he is actuaally a petulant impatient child. I knew as owner he would attempt to order Ripstone to grant an immediate rematch. I instructed Todd to refuse. He has thirty days to grant Morris a rematch. Morris just could not wait til Brainbusters Ball to get his rematch. He had to get a rematch right away. So I made him a deal. He would get his rematch on R*PPED if he put up his 52% ownership. The idiot did not think twice.
But Morris won the match. He won the damn match. Only solace I can take is he won by count out and did not regain the W*RE championship. Outside the ring Darren Glass attacked Morris and gave him the Glass Eater on the floor. That idiot cost me control of my company. To add injury to insult he gave me the Glass Slipper. I can barely walk.
"Hello Jerome."
"Do I know you?"
"I'm Kevin.Bunkle this is Beaumont Networks Vice President Jeff Mills."
"Is that suppose to impress me?"
"We were on the WAVE board of directors together?"
"Sorry you boys all look alike to me. Who the hell allowed you in my building?"
"Before you throw us out please listen to our offer?"
"Offer?"
"We want you to work for WAVE again as Ultimate Czar of Programing Affairs."
Are these guys serious?
"Look Kevin maybe you are slow but I am a competitor to WAVE."
"We know that but Jeff and I know you are a business man. We are prepared to make you an incredible offer that allows you to keep W*RE while running WAVE."
I am ready to have the Dinos escort these two out using the scenic route when I change my mind."
"Tell me why is WAVE desperate enough to offer me a job. Unless you tell me I'm having two of my boys escort you out."
The shorter one with the baseball cap speaks up.
"Well Mr.Johansen WAVE has a relationship with the Beaumont networks going back twenty five years. But recently ratings have suffered. Ransom Fortune lost his championship to a man named Doomsmith. We have title matches every week now but ratings are still shrinking. Mr.Beaumont always enjoyed his dealings with you when you were running WAVE's television shows in the 80's. He instructed us to sign you."
Well well the Big Grey Cheese has stepped in. Ron Beaumont is the closest thing WAVE has ever had to an owner. Even if it is not in an official capacity,. I only met him twice and it made me sick. The fat overstuffed windbag. I longed for the day I could take him down.
"I would need unlimited authority."
"Well uh um listen Jerome that might not be doable."
"Shut up Kevin. Of course Mr.Johansen you would have unlimited authority."
"I want ten percent of WAVE's gross profit on pay per views."
"Now wait one damn second Johansen!!!!"
"Kevin you were only brought along because you claimed to be friends with this man. Ten percent is fine on top of your salary of course and a private office at the BBN Center."
"No office I do not want my involvement made public until I say so."
"Of course Mr.Johansen."
"Mr.Mills you have yourself a deal."
