November 17, 1994 – This time Shane Douglas has shown up at our meeting, but so has someone unexpected. 2 Cold Scorpio shows up at my door right before the meeting begins.

Heyman: You’re welcome to come in Scorpio, but we’re about ready to start our meeting.

Scorpio: I just need to talk to you about something real important, man.

Heyman: Ok, let’s go in the other room. (To the men at the meeting) I’ll be right back guys, go ahead and start the meeting.

~ Scorpio follows me to the other side of the house where he takes a chair across from me.

Heyman: So, what’s up?

Scorpio: I don’t want to be here anymore.

Heyman: What do you mean?

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?

Scorpio: I don’t like the way youa re running it. I just want out of my contract, that’s all I want.

Heyman: Fine, but don’t bother trying to come back!

Scorpio: Trust me, I won’t.

~ Scorpio storms out the front door as I come back and join the meeting.

Douglas: What was that about?

Heyman: He just quit.

All in unison: What?

Heyman: Yeah. He said he didn’t like the way I ran it and I told him to not bother coming back.

Styles: So he’s gone for good then?

Heyman: As far as I’m concerned he was never here.

~ A silence takes over the table.

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

Styles: Well, we just secured a number for the ECW Hotline. We have two. One is a local number that will just give information about our next show and how to get tickets. The other is a toll number we can use to our fans a little bit of a peek inside ECW.

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.

Heyman: Well, tell them I feel the same way they do. Maybe they’ll give us some free promotions or something.

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.

~ After my coffee arrived we sat and talked about our pasts together and about our families or lack there of in my case.

Which brings us to November 23, 1994, and another episode of Extreme TV.

Chetti then arm drags Killings down as he bounces off the ropes once again. With Killings down Chetti holds out the arm of Killings and drops a leg across it.

Styles: That is a good way to dislocate a shoulder, right there!

~ Chetti picks him back up and whips him into the ropes once again. As Killings bounces off he leap frogs over Chetti who had bent over for the back body drop. As Killings bounces back he bulldogs Chetti to the mat. Both men stay on the mat until Kenny Jay reaches the count of seven.

Heyman: Sure Spot. What’s on your mind?

Spot: Rob Van Dam was working way too stiff. I could have been seriously injured out there!

December 24, 1994 – Almost December 25. Once again we have an after show get together at the Yucatan Liquor Stand. Most of the roster that were at Holiday Hell are here. Alex York, The Spoiler (On crutches), and DC Drake are hanging out by the bar, while Carl Oulette, Blue Panther, and Invader 1 are sitting at a table together, and Douglas Captain, Jimmy Garvin, King Kong Bundy, Moondog Spot, and Terry Gordy are all at another table. I make my way to the table with all the writing staff minus Shane Douglas who was still being checked out by Bill Blassie.

Heyman: Hell of a show, huh?

Styles: That was our best show yet!

Van Dam: And we’re only getting better dude.

Iaukea: Well this show could have been better, but Killings and Blue Panther didn’t mesh very well.

Christy: Yeah, the Blitzkrieg Sabu match was better than that, and it was the opener!

Heyman: Well to be fair, Blitzkrieg Sabu was better than a lot of matches.

~ We talked a little longer as we eased into Christmas morning in a drunken stupor.

December 25, 1994 - AWA have fallen to Cult level. Black Dragon, Yoji Anjoh, Robbie Brookside, Yuji Nagata, El Dandy, Mitsuharu Misawa, Maniaco, and Shinya Hashimoto have all agreed to open contracts with AWA!

This is my last post, I finally decided to add it but ECW went under on EWR. I'm starting on a new diary that will be a lot more comedy involved in it.
