CKW: Another Damn Diary

[cageking666]

October 1st, 2015

Dear Diary,
You shall know me as CageKing. You see, I had just won the lottery and basically got One Million even (Don't ask what state because for all you know this is in my head). Part of the budget obviously went to food and rent and stuff, but I have decided to invest every single penny I have into starting a Backyard Federation simply known as CKW, or CageKing Wrestling. I saw a young wrestling PPV from a group called NWA-TNA and thought to myself "I Could Do This!". So, I got my friends together and found the following people who were willing to travel to me and start this magical journey

2 Tuff Tony (H)
Alex Arion (F)
Alex Shelley (T)
Amoretto Mitsuko (T)
Antonio Banks (H)
Armageddon (H)
Austin Aries (T)
Cade Sydal (F)
Chris Mordetsky (F)
Dropkick Murphy (H)
Fergal Devitt (F)
Hurricane Kidd (F)
Jarelle Clark (F)
Joey Maxx (F)
Josh Prohibition (T)
Kamikaze Kid (F)
Ken Anderson (T)
Mike The Miz (H)
Prince Juggalo (H)
Seth Knight (H)
Spanky Malone (H)

I was also able to get a couple of local sponsers together and voila, I have decided to set up small shows every Saturday, that way people can get used to fun on the weekend (Plus really, who watches Velocity? it will never last...) and hopefully this all works out for me!

Dear Diary,
This is NOT all working out for me.

Let's start off with the big news right away. I had to fire Josh Prohibition. I understand he's a big name with the backyard scene, but I had arranged a photo shoot with him and he did not show up...and I am not gonna take someone wasting my money like this, so Bye Felicia.

Also, apparintly my friends that I told you about yesterday sold all their shares of this fed to some chick named Missy Hyatt. I don't know who she is, but I don't exactly like the fact that I now have a boss over my shoulders for a company I started....but that's besides the point

Ironic enough, the day after I start a fed, every f***ing company decides to start releasing people so I was able to pick up a few people myself including: Adam Flash, Cliff Compton and his partner Jake Bishop, Derek Frazier and his partner Sonjay Dutt, Rainchild, TJ Dalton, and Tyler Payne. 28 Workers, should be well enough to start ourselves a good old fashioned Tournament

Dear Diary,
Day of our first show...so let's see how I can set these brackets up....Random.Org do your job!

Cade Sydal (F) vs. Alex Shelley (T)
Hurricane Kidd (F) vs. 2 Tuff Tony (H)
Jarelle Clark (F) vs. Derek Frazier (H)
Joey Maxx (F) vs. Dropkick Murphy (H)
Fergal Devitt (F) vs. Prince Juggalo (H)
Jake Bishop (F) vs. Armageddon (H)
Alex Arion (F) vs. Antonio Banks (H)
Chris Mordetsky (F) vs. Austin Aries (T)
Seth Knight (H) vs. Cliff Compton (F)
Mike The Miz (H) vs. Amoretto Mitsuko (T)
Tyler Payne (H) vs. Adam Flash (F)
Spanky Malone (H) vs. Kamikaze Kid (F)
Sonjay Dutt (H) vs. TJ Dalton (T)
Rainchild (T) vs. Ken Anderson (T)

So that went more organized then I thought...Let's get on with the show. 8 People saw my Facebook ad and decided to stop by because they had nothing better to do and I was offering free alcohol

The purpose of tonight obviously is to not only debut everyone but to make sure we put on at least some decent matches. I mean, can't be that hard right?

Cade Sydal d. Alex Shelley via Submission (Action was awesome, but Audience was confused. Overall a Meh Rating)

2 Tuff Tony d. Hurricane Kidd via Pinfall (Basic squash match, but the audience was not having it at all with a 10% Reaction)

Derek Frazier d. Jarelle Clark via Pinfall after Sonjay Dutt interfered and he hit a Facebuster. (Amazing match to wake the crowd up, but someone told me I should change Dutt's gimmick. I shall look into that for his upcoming match)

Joex Maxx d. Dropkick Murphy via Countout (Decent match, but by the looks of things the countout victory hurt the match)

Prince Juggalo d. Fergal Devitt via Cheating Pinfall (Fans are starting to turn on me)

Jake Bishop d. Armageddon via Pinfall in a good way to end the night

Overall 37%
Best Match: Sydal vs. Shelley
Worst Match: Tony vs. Kidd

Notes: Joey Maxx and Dropkick Murphy have tremendous chamistry in the ring
Miz tells me he wants to face Rainchild, so now the first round match will be Miz vs. Rainchild of the next show, and Anderson will now face Mitsuko
Sophie says we have officially risen to Small level, so time to start making some of these open contracts written so I'm not paying every god damn week
Total of the night is 80 Bucks....after spending 192,000 on workers

Jesus this is gonna hurt me......

(I can't update every day but I can definitely do it every so often, because even though this is starting off bad, it really feels like fun)

Should I do events weekly or monthly?

[Malibu Albino]

Monthly, especially as a backyard. It's hard to make money doing weekly shows even when you're a bigger company.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Yeah, unless you got TV or have 90% of your crew on written deals (and even then, I still wouldn't recommend it), always always always do monthly. Weekly shows are essentially a trap because of how absurdly easy it is to lose a ton of money on them, especially for a small company.
