November 24, 1994 – The writing staff meets once again in the dining area of my home. Everybody showed up on time as we began to discuss last nights show and November to Remember.

Heyman: What were our ratings, Curtis?

Iaukea: We got a one point three three rating.

Heyman: Great! The longer that O.J. thing goes on, the harder it will be to get people to watch.

Christy: If November to Remember comes off as well as it should, we should gain a lot of new fans that will start watching every week.

Heyman: Anything else about the show?

Iaukea: Yeah. I don’t think that Rebel McKean and Matt Hardy match up very well.

Douglas: Yeah, I agree. There were a lot of matches yesterday where the guys didn’t match up styles very well.

Styles: The Adam Copeland and Invader 1 match didn’t come off too well either.

Van Dam: Or Chetti and Drake.

Heyman: So half the show yesterday sucked then?

Edwards: Not necessarily sucked, but wasn’t as good as it could have been.

Heyman: Then let’s not match those guys up anymore. Simple as that.

~ The meeting continued as we started to discuss what was going to happen at November to Remember.

Scorpio: I mean, I don’t like the way my character is going and I don’t like the whole thing, everything about it.

Heyman: You don’t like the hardcore style?

Heyman: So, what were you guys talking about before that?

Heyman: Great! Plus, if it’s a toll number, it’ll create more revenue. Great job Joey.

Iaukea: We need to talk about the ratings for last nights show. We got a one point two nine.

Heyman: Great, it’s gone up every week.

Iaukea: But, the networks big wigs think we should be getting higher ratings than this.

Christy: I doubt that.

Heyman: It can’t hurt.

~ The meeting continued with talks of who we should sign to take the spot of 2 Cold Scorpio.

November 22, 1994 – I had to go to a small little coffee house to meet with the person I was wanted to sign to take to spot of Scorpio. I walked in the door and noticed him sitting in a booth by himself. It is kind of hard to miss a man that looks like him. I approached the table.

Heyman: Hey ______. What’s happening man?

______: Hey Paulie.

~ I took a sit across from him at the booth and ordered a cup of coffee from the waitress before she left the table.

Heyman: I assume you know why I wanted to meet you.

______: You’re looking for someone that fits in your extreme style?

Heyman: Exactly, and I know of no one better than you.

______: Why didn’t you call me before now?

Heyman: Well, to be honest, I thought you were too big to come to ECW.

______: Well, I’ve been sitting at home waiting on a call from WCW or WWF, and you were the first that called.

Heyman: I take that as a good sign that will work with us?

______: Of course, Paulie. I got nothing else to do.

I can't send the data file, because I have a hotmail address and they limit how much you can send as an attachment. The next update will probably be somtime around Sunday so keep predicting. BTW nobody has guessed them all correct, in fact first place only has 3 points including the bonus points, so it is still anybody's game.

September 24, 1994 (Almost September 25, 1994) – After the show is over most of the boys go to the local tavern (a place called the Yucatan Liquor Stand) to help us wind down. Of course, I had more work to do, but I could do it at the bar, right? So, by the time I arrived, DC Drake, Jimmy Garvin, Moondog Spot, Shane Douglas, Sabu, and Terry Gordy were already there. Also there were Curtis Iaukea, Jerry Christy and Ray Edwards. Joey Styles rode over with me, in my old beat up ’82 Dodge Omni with the rusted muffler wired to the bumper. I find a parking spot all the way across the lot and follow Joey into the bar. It was a normal looking bar with a thick cloud of smoke lingering in the air in a way similar to the way in-laws linger around your house. I noticed Shane Douglas was already in conversations with Curtis Iaukea, Jerry Christy and Ray Edwards. I worked my way towards them and sit next to them in the cramped booth. Joey Styles works his way over after finding RVD somewhere else in the bar and they pull chairs over next to the booth as we begin to talk about what went down just hours before.

Heyman: So, what’d you guys think?

~ My question was answered with silence. I assumed they were waiting to know what I felt.

Heyman: I think there were spots that could have been done better, but overall I’d say we got our point across, especially in the main event.

Douglas: Well that table spot sure got some of ‘em going, huh?

~ A few chuckles are heard around the table.

Christy: Yeah, were those guys chanting, “Holy shit,” in the front row?

Douglas: Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. Maybe we need to add a thing like that in every show to make ‘em mark out like crazy.

~ The music in the bar gets louder and we have to raise our voices just in order to hear ourselves let alone each other.

Heyman: Well we definitely have the people that can pull off the mark outs every night. By the way I already talked to Bobby (Lee) and he is making copies of the tape of the show, we’ll probably be able to watch it sometime tomorrow.

Van Dam: How about that chair spot in the Sabu, Kidman match, huh?

Iaukea: I don’t think their match went over too well with the crowd. It just seemed like their skills didn’t mesh together well enough. Not like you and Helms did. You guys had unbelievable chemistry out there.

Van Dam: I was getting my ass kicked the whole match, dude.

Edwards: Yeah, but that splash leg drop thing was crazy!

Van Dam: Yeah I know, man. We were trying to think of something cool that we could use as our finisher.

Heyman: Well, I think you found it, because if you guys can time that right every night, you can bring the house down.

~ The talk turned to other things as everybody wound down after the show before eventually leaving. I noticed Douglas left with a woman on each arm and thought, “It must be good to be champ.”

September 25, 1994 – I awoke with a start hearing my phone ring from across the room. I stumbled in the darkness trying to find my way to a light or the phone or something. I finally find the telephone and answer it, still feeling the effects of my hangover.

Heyman: Hello?

Phone: We got the tape ready, Paulie.

Heyman: Bobby?

Lee: Yeah, we got the tape ready, you wanna watch it now?

Heyman: What time is it?

Lee: Uhhhh…Like four o’clock

Heyman: What the hell? In the morning?

Lee: Yeah

Heyman: I’ll be over at around noon to get it, ok?

Lee: Yeah that’s cool.

~ I hang up the phone and return to my bed to try and get some more peaceful sleep.

September 25, 1994 – 11:58 – I walk up the sidewalk of Bobby Lee’s house. I ring the door bell and wait for an answer. A beautiful young lady answers the door and I can hear what sounds like a party behind her.

Heyman: Hello, I’m here to talk to Bobby, is he in.

Lady: Yes, sir, he is in the back room.

~ I follow the lovely lady to the room in the back where I find Shane Douglas, Rob Van Dam, Joey Styles, Jerry Christy, Ray Edwards, and Curtis Iaukea were already there and waiting for me to arrive. Once Bobby sees me here he puts the tape in the machine and starts it up.

~ After watching the show we start to discuss what we should do.

Heyman: We need to send this tape to one of the television networks.

Christy: Yeah, but where should we start?

Heyman: Well we need a network that is pretty lax with their standards. I mean a network that isn’t afraid to show blood and cursing and things like that.

Douglas: How about HBO?

Edwards: AWA already has a show on HBO.

Van Dam: How about channel 21?

Iaukea: They already have a wrestling show too.

Styles: How about Showtime?

Heyman: Perfect! They have no wrestling shows and we can be aired uncensored.

~ I take the tape and leave with it to the post office to mail off our package. Now we wait for a response.

September 18, 1994 - The AWA has risen to national level after their Superclash show highlighted by Curt Hennig beating John Boy Humphrey’s for the AWA World Heavyweight Title

Yeah that was why I put that note in at the beginning, so people would know what was going on. Also, I am going out of town for the weekend so my next update won't be until sometime next week, probably around Thursday.

Thanks for reading though.

~ August 28, 1994 – There was a meeting the next morning after a night of drinking in celebration of our split from the NWA. There were only four men in the meeting as they were the only four that actually worked for the company as of this point. Shane Douglas, Rob Van Dam, our announcer (who also jumped with us from the NWA) Joey Styles, and Myself (Paul Heyman). The four of us sit around a table, all battling small signs of our hangovers. I decided to start the meeting.

Heyman: Okay guys, first things first, what kinds of guys should we look into trying to sign to start the company?

Douglas: I think we should get DC Drake. He can sell and he’s pretty over from his days in the AWA.

Van Dam: No way, dude. We need to get Ron Killings. He can do crazy stuff in the ring, and he’ll put his body on the line every night, man. That is what you need to be extreme.

~ Joey Styles was watching quietly from his corner of the table, ,not wanting to speak up being the youngest and least experienced at the table..

Heyman: You have any thoughts Joey?

Styles: I think we should sign them both, but we should really be looking at Shane Helms. He is making a name for himself in the Carolinas. If we want him we need to act now before it is too late.

Heyman: Well we’ll need to get about 20 more guys, so if we get these three, where do we go from there?

Douglas: We need to hire as many big names as possible…

Van Dam: No way! We need to get dudes that will do some crazy shit…

Styles: I think we need to get some young guys that have the skills that we can help mold into the big names in the company.

~ The meeting continued on as we finalized our roster, including some alternatives barring that we couldn’t get the wrestlers we wanted.
