Another year of wrestling is over and it has been another mediocre year in the Wrestling Business. WoW sits atop the rankings, but the fans feel like the wrong wrestlers are being pushed. They want something new. The second in The ratings, the ABCW, has older wrestlers. The ones who wanted to branch out into free agency, usually end up in the ABCW. RnR brings up the rear and is really more of the top Indy show, a real Botch-O-Mania with a few respectable names. The scene has fallen flat and the fans grow restless for new entertainment.
January, Year 1
Week 1
Mr. Fantasy is photographed having lunch with a man named Brian Hollings. Mr. Hollings is a real estate tycoon, with an estimated worth of upwards of 150 million dollars, he is one of the major players in the northern United States. It is a well known fact that Mr. Hollings is a big wrestling fan, as he has appeared on ABCW multiple times, in multiple facets such as guest commentary, guest referee etc. Mr. Fantasy has worked as a Talent Manager for both WoW and ABCW for 20+ years, and ABCW is where Mr. Fantasy first met Brian Hollings. The two converse over a couple drinks, Brian pays the bill and they part ways. The Wrestling world begins to buzz, as another season of wrestling has begun.
Week 2
Mr. Fantasy is seen at all the house shows, and television shows for WoW, ABCW and RnR wrestling federations. He's seen talking to the wrestlers as well as some of the behind the scenes staff. He begins to collect a portfolio of information. He is also seen in the crowds watching, and writing down information. Mr. Fantasy is very tighlipped, but upbeat about his visits.
Week 3
Mr. Fantasy is seen arriving at Brian Hollings resident, the pictures create a buzz amongst the wrestling community, especially amongst those yearning for something more. The gates to the Hollings estate open and Mr. Fantasy rolls in the gates closing being him. He rolls up to the front door and he is greeted by Brian Hollings
Hollings:
Fantasy! Welcome, Welcome to my home.
The two men embrace and Hollings ushers Mr. Fantasy inside. Hollings pours Fantasy a drink and the 2 men make themselves comfortable on a couch.
Hollings:
So what'd you find for me?
Mr. Fantasy hands Hollings a manilla folder. Hollings opens it and looks over the information. A smile creeping over his face.
Hollings:
Well this is better than we expected, alot more contracts are coming up than we previously thought.
Fantasy:
It certainly would appear that way. I know we've been talking about this for a couple years now, loosely of course. However, if you wanted to do this, now would be your best chance I think.
Hollings sits back in the sofa, sipping his drink looking over the contract lengths and names attached to them. He sips his drink again before sitting back up.
Hollings:
Give me sometime to really look over these numbers. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this right.
The two men spend the rest of the night reading over information and going over the basic plan and strategy they would use if they really wanted to do this. The night ends as it began, with an embrace before Mr. Fantasy takes a cab home.
Week 4:
The middle of the week Brian Hollings calls. Mr. Fantasy and says just 3 words.
"Let's do this"
The 2 men spend the rest of the night working out the legistics of what needs to be done, as well as a list of wrestlers that they need to reach out to. "Don't worry" Mr. Fantasy says "I know a few guys who have been waiting for a chance like this" and with that the two men get to work.

Mr. Fantasy makes a visit to ABCW and speaks with a plethora of talent. He gauges general interest and asks about how contract talks are going. It's a schmooze fest to say the least.
Week 2

March, Year 1
Week 1
WoW announces that Ace of Spades and The Van Winkles have all stepped away from The bargaining table without a contract in place, it appears as though a Deal won't be reached.
A report comes out stating that multiple stars are unhappy at ABCW, the loudest of The bunch being Chicano, who notes he hasn't had a push in a long time and maybe it's time to take his talents elsewhere.
Fans have noted that no one has left RnR wrestling which furthers the speculation that Fantasy and Hollings are going to purchase RnR wrestling. This coupled with the fact that all wrestlers that haven't resigned also haven't signed anywhere else.
Week 2
Mr. Fantasy and Brian Hollings meet at Mr. Fantasys condo. They sit at the table smiles on both of their faces.
Mr. Fantasy
Well Brian, I'd say we're about half way to where we need to be. 2 Tag Teams have been signed and 6 wrestlers. We can work with this.
Brian Hollings
I agree one hundred percent. Im Suprised we have been able to keep everything a secret thus far. I thought for sure Lazer was going to spill the beans, I've never seen a man so happy. That being said, I don't want to just have enough that we can work with. I want to compete, I want to win. Where are we with more signings?
Fantasy
Well that's where things get tricky. The guys we have now are the ones that wanted out. I can probably get one more but it's going to blow our cover. Everyone else is going to have to see something. There not going to risk not signing with their current company, without us showing them something.
Hollings sit and thinks for a minute, he looks off into the distance before beginning.
Hollings
Let's bluff then.
Fantasy looks on, intrigued.
Hollings
Yea, we`ll bluff. Well hold a press conference, we'll announce our intentions, generate That interest we need for more talent. On top of that we will have the wrestlers we do have signed show up too. Maybe start a few Fueds, and in 2 months we'll have a Show. Guys will want to be a part of that, it'll be new and exciting. They'll want in, and we'll add them to the card. It's boom or bust but I Dont know if we have another play.
Fantasy
It's an interesting play, but I like it, let's run with it for the next week and unless we think of a better idea.
The two men spend the night planning to announce their new venture and how to spin it so that the buzz will draw new wrestlers to help fill out their roster.
Week 3
Hollings and Fantasy issue a video to twitter announcing that they will be holding a press conference in two weeks to talk about not one but 2 exciting announcements they have to make. They continue on to say that if you are a wrestling fan this is something you are not going to want to miss. Fans of all 3 federations are a buzz with this exciting news.
Week 4
Starboy drops a tweet that says:
"Just wanted to take a second to thank everyone at RnR wrestling, I've learned so much in such a short time but now it is time to see what is out there.... Amongst the stars" which confuses everyone. The main thought was that RnR was being purchased, but then why would Starboy leave? The community had questions, that needed answering, and they only have to wait a week to get them.
A few days later RnR wrestling releases a statement:
Starboy and RnR Wrestling have parted ways mutually and we wish Starboy all the best in his future endeavours. This is his home, and he is welcome back anytime. As for the purchasing of RnR Wrestling by one Brian Hollings that has been circling the web, We can confirm that RnR Wrestling is not for sale, nor has it ever been. Thank you.
