AWC: TRAINING CAMP WEEK #6 POSTED! MIDWAY POINT!!

[duan]

MISSION STATEMENT

Has the New Year gotten you solemn? Are you tired of watching the same programming day in and day out; every outcome is almost redundant. A refreshing outlook on what you love may bring some passion back into what you do. Each and every week, you seem to be watching the same television program. You are treated like an idiot. You are supposed to forget what has happen previously. They want you to smile and take it on the chin because, lets face it, you have no other option really. This is what we like to call a monopoly in business. Right now, the industry is dominated by one force; one real strong company for the mainstream popularity. Sure, you could turn away from the mainstream and try the alternative. But, be real with yourself. Whatever isn’t the mainstream is worse than the norm. All these companies near death and with no bright future on the horizon. Hey, if you don’t like that, you can dig deeper and look towards independent contractors to fill your need. The wrestling is great, sure, but does anyone really care about these guys? Where is their story? And, the funny thing, is that they try to push out some storyline about something that you cannot follow because they are their own writing team. Doesn’t it seem almost hopeless? Your choices are severely slim and then it just seems like its all gone to hell. What the point in even getting upset because there is nothing you can do to change what is happening in front of your eyes. The mainstream won’t listen to you because they don’t need you. The alternative won’t listen to you even though to survive they should. The independent tries to please you but comes up short. Don’t you think its time to take control of what you love? Don’t you feel its time to take that past time you are most passionate about and put some life back into it? We think it is.

We crave your acceptance. We crave your creativity. We crave your talent. We don’t want you. We need you. Its time for you, the consumer, to take control and stop bowing down to the mainstream because you have no choice. Become your own mainstream. This is why we are here. We are here to please you, the new mainstream. The days is upon us where we seize what we need. We seize what we want!

We are the American Wrestling Company and just like the great nation we occupy, we are here to serve the masses and make the perfect choices to see everyone succeed. Our methods will be unorthodox but they will be interesting, different, creative and god damn successful with your help. AWC is new, yes, but you should only see opportunity. Not sold? Here is a background on us to help you get acquainted.

The AWC hasn’t had one event yet. The AWC hasn’t signed one talent to their roster. The AWC doesn’t even have its championships finalized. The AWC doesn’t have any dates booked. But what does the AWC have? Capital. Through extremely unordinary circumstances, we have hooked up with VERY stable financial backing and quite frankly, we have more money than we know what do to with. The AWC does have a plan and to complete our plan, we need some talent and some help. Based out of New York City, we are looking for said help. This all starts with you great folks who stumbled upon this message because someone forwarded it to you. Someone who cares about our industry thought it would be a great idea to include you in this new regime. If you are interested, please reply to this message by email or postal mail. Fill out the questionnaire attached and include a photo/video of your ability.

 
We look forward to hearing from you.

From one frustrated professional wrestling fan to another; hope to speak to you soon.

WHY WE SHOULD SIGN YOU:
You should sign me because I am the next megastar of professional wrestling, it's ridiculous that you would even think of asking me a question like that. I'm the best thing you'll ever see.

I'll still perform at a higher level than anyone else who is associated with this company.

WHY WE SHOULD SIGN YOU: As a member of the Air Devils in Sims National Wrestling, I have excelled in SNW's tag team division but I am looking for so much more. I'm looking to prove that I have what it takes as a singles competitor. I may not be the biggest or strongest, but it takes a hell of a lot to keep me down.


This is a cool idea. Figure you'd want less established characters, so I went with Travis over Ace. Good luck.

From the desk of Anonymous,

    Hello everyone! I know you probably thought that our mission statement was a complete waste of time since you haven't heard from us for quite some time. On the contrary as we have been thoroughly cycling through many applications that have been sent into us. After confirming and hammering out details with our budget department about how many competitors we can afford for what we want to do, we came up with a round number of 14 to put into training. That's right! AWC will be having a training period to see whether or not we can mold you into what we are looking for in a wrestler. If you see your name on the upcoming list, that means you should report to our headquarters in New York City on Monday February 10th for a 90-day training period. Before we get into the names of the people who made the cut, I would like to go into detail about what everyone should expect going forward.

90 Day Training Period [February 10th - May 11th]

• Weekly 'training' updates on all competitors with progression grades and current status
  
• Training will include workouts and simulated matches
• Gimmick and promo work/recap
  
• Each weekly recap will be over the 5 day span we meet that week
  
• At the end of the week, we will hold a free event for the first 200 fans that can make it down to our headquarters. These events will last about an hour.
  
• There will be a total of 13 recaps; one being the final recap and grade for each competitor.

Tour Preparation & Company Solidification Period [May 12th - May 31st]

• Announcement of tour dates & venues for upcoming tour
  
• Announcement of competitor contracts & signings
  
• Announcement of Championships & accolades up for grabs

Tour #1: Northeastern Tour 2014 [June 1st - TBA]

• Tour of the Northeastern Territory of the United States of America
  
• States will include but not be limited to: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut
  

Tour #2: Southeastern Tour 2014 [TBA]

• Tour of the Southeastern Territory of the United States of America
  
• States to be announced at a later date

Now, the moment all of you have been waiting for. The following competitors have been invited to the training camp for the AWC starting on February 10th. In order to familiarize our growing fans with the competitors, a small bio has been include with each individual.

Competitors

Bret Thomas
24 / Raleigh, NC / A powerhouse who is looking to run through the entire AWC roster. Using his very large build, he will brawl until he comes out the victor in each of his matches.

Chef Death
29 / Boonville, MO / A disgruntled evil chef who was recently let go from his day job. Chef Death will using a combination of brawling skills with his minor technical background to make sure all competitors taste his poison.

Chris Hammers
26 / Belfast, Northern Ireland / A vampire who has immigrated from Belfast and now resides in New York. An independent mainstay looking to make a dramatic impact in the states, Hammers will use his technical background to ground his opponents.

Chris Pearce
21 / Chicago, IL / A cocky athletic young man looking to make a splash on the independent wrestling scene. Pearce may have a small frame but his technical abilities seems to be miles ahead of what we expected.

Daniel Haygarth
19 / Island of Sodor / An extremely young competitor who literally thinks he is a train. Willing to run over anyone who gets into his path, Haygarth will use his strikes to knock his opponent out. CHOO CHOO!

Ethan Elliot
27 / Detroit, MI / We are afraid of this human being due to his tape that he sent in. A very deranged man who will stop at nothing to get himself over in the match. Listens to the voices inside of his head.

Jethro Ozz Bowie
22 / Detroit Rock City / A rock and roll "superstar", JOB uses his high flying style to take his opponents out in a flash. Always followed by his backing band, Bowie wants to make an impact in the ring and the music world.

Maxwell Nashville
20 / The Music City / Another rocker who takes a different approach inside the ring. Instead of powering people around, Nashville uses his god given entertainment skills to outsmart and outwork his opponents.

Owen Walker
21 / Springfield, IL / Our most likable competitor that we seemed to get along with the best, Walker is a very humorous individual. He may be smaller in frame but lord knows he can make you give up in a matter of seconds.

Ricky Hernandez
23 / Los Angeles, CA / The younger of two brothers we decided to select, Hernandez is the smaller, faster member of his group. Able to wrestle literal circles around his opponents, Hernandez may be hard to catch.

Riley Shamrock
21 / Bergenfield, NJ / This third generation superstar has the god given look of a wrestler. Always striving to be better than what was before him, Shamrock never forgets to pay homage on how and why he is in the business.

Rocca Hernandez
26 / Los Angeles, CA / The older of the two brothers, Rocca is more of the muscle than his younger brother. Don't take his hipster appearance lightly as he will mow over you in the ring with ease.

Travis Cantrell
21 / New York, NY / Another young man who must be happy that our headquarters are so close to home. Cantrell has a great high flying ability and can electrify a crowd with one move off the top rope.

Zakk Static
26 / Detroit, MI / A natural bad ass in everything his does, Static is an intimidating man who will stop at nothing to inflict some pain where he can. A real powerhouse in the ring, Static may be the biggest guy in the training.

Stay tuned for more information and progression from our 90 training period.

From one frustrated professional wrestling fan to another; hope to speak to you soon.

Love this! Unreal concept and everything is presented really well. Is it too late to sign up a wrestler?
