OOC Note: I posted the affiliation thread last night for Doomed's fed APW, and also worked on an in-character affiliation announcement during this time. I'll be posting it here while Doomed will post it in his fed. Enjoy it everybody, and yes... James Baker is actually toned down for once.
-------------------
Date and Time: July 1st, 1:15 PM
Location: PCW Headquarters; Las Vegas, Nevada
The setting is in Las Vegas, Nevada, right in front of the PCW Headquarters. In a sea of camera's documenting this event, various television stations and the Premium Television Network (PCW's own TV channel), PCW Owner Terrell Ryder, APW founder James Jameson, PCW General Manger James Baker and APW/PCW Wrestler Chris Dash are all on the stage, smiling and interacting with one another. After a few minutes, Jameson goes to the podium and prepares his speech.
James Jameson: "You have all been hearing rumblings of sorts about this for the past couple of days, but it is true. Apex Pro Wrestling has decided to affiliate with one of the biggest companies in the world today, Premium Championship Wrestling. It's an exciting time for APW as we are hitting a wonderful time in our schedule, and PCW is doing the same. Along with Chris Dash, joining me for this announcement is PCW Owner Terrell Ryder and his right hand man, multiple time World Champion and Hardcore wrestling icon, James Baker."
Terrell and Baker shake Jameson's hand before Terrel takes the podium with Baker behind him.
Terrell Ryder: "This is a very important occasion if I say so myself. A little about PCW just in case there are those who don't know. We are a federation who's history started almost two and a half years ago through YCW and ICW. They merged to form the three letters that are prominent today. In this second run, I am the one who is in control but more importantly - I'm also one that having great working relationships in this cut throat industry is only good for business. And affiliating with a thriving company like APW is good business for both parties involved as many things can result from this. Money made from both sides, talent exchanges, some good rivalries between talents from both promotions, advertisements and even doing some collaboration shows with each other. This is going to be a fantastic relationship and I for one am going to love every minute of it."
Terrell steps back and allows James Baker his chance to speak.
James Baker: "I have been in the game for nine and a half years. I have seen and done some wicked things. Some for amusement, some for just getting inside the opponent's head and some because I needed to let out some fuc (pauses as he knows this is not the setting to use his normal tone of language)... rage. I have had brutal matches with some of the best this industry has had to offer. As has been said already, this will no doubt benefit all parties involved. Chris Dash is a part of APW and PCW, a great friend of mine and PCW Hall of Famer Steve Storme has been in APW. And the same could be said for possible PCW talent coming there and doing their thing. I personally love the gritty feel APW has. It's fresh, it's exciting and it reminds me of the wrestling I did very early in my career. As an added bonus, I'm willing to have a few matches in APW. Will not say when but I am willing to do so not just for me personally, but also for the benefit of both companies."
James steps back and allows Chris Dash to take the floor.
Chris Dash: "Being one of the top faces in APW is a great honor in itself. And being in PCW has been cool so far. Really have enjoyed my time there. Both companies maybe a bit different, but we're also similar as wrestling is allowed, creative freedom is encouraged and being the best we can be is a high priority for all of us who break into the business because it's our dream. And my opinion, this is a damn good partnership for both promotions. As has been documented, PCW has a history behind it. They made their name from the ground up and they are a powerhouse. APW is doing the same thing right now and we are turning a few heads with what we provide. Can't really beat what both places have to offer."
Now James Jameson comes back to the stage.
James Jameson: "No you certainly cannot, Chris. I'm happy that this deal is official. We have had past affiliations where it didn't benefit either us or anybody in the long run. If anything, it kind of has a setback if you will. But with you guys, I'm positive it will work."
Terrell Ryder: "You're good people, Jameson. And I can say I'm happy to have this type of relationship with your company."
James Baker: "Can we toast already or blaze up? Whichever we do."
James Jameson: A toast sounds good.
Terrell Ryder: "I don't think our business partners dab into the stuff we do, so no blazing up."
Since it's not even close to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, all four grab a can of Coca Cola from an ice chest cooler and pop it open.
James Jameson: "To business, success, partnership, friendship and a great and healthy working relationship."
James Baker: "Damn right."
Chris Dash: "Same."
Terrell Ryder: "Yes. All of that and much more."
All four men make a toast as they drink from their cans of Coke as the scene fades out.
