Alright... let's look at the offered candidates so far... Hamilton Graham One of the names on my list as well. We've established him as a "legend" in this corner of the wrestling world... a guy who has earned respect from the bottom to the top of the locker room. He's made a few appearances on AWA television - one as recently at SuperClash. Good candidate. Jon Stegglet I want to drive a little bit of a wedge between ownership and the President. In fact, I'd like to start working towards getting ownership back off TV as much as possible. I know that may be difficult with one or two of the ongoing stories but I'd like to give it an effort. Not a chance. Brian Lau I had this thought for a bit as well but ultimately decided against it because I think if he were to show up, too many of us would want him on the show every week and that's not what I'm aiming for. No chance. Gordon Myers This one hadn't occurred to me but does make a lot of sense. He's respected, he's been around forever, he bleeds AWA. But then I have to come up with a new PBP man and that's actually harder than it sounds since all of you would have to get used to him as well. A possibility! Patrick Rodriguez As always, kudos to Petrow for the obscure reference. This former PWR referee would NOT be on the radar of the AWA brass as they search for their new figurehead. No chance. Alex Martinez I actually kinda like that one too but Dave wouldn't be able to resist dragging him out on every show to make rulings. No chance. Jason Dane This one would intrigue me if a) I was looking to create a President who was frequently on the shows or b) I wasn't enjoying Dane's investigative journalistic side. No chance. Ben Waterson Another interesting idea but I'm not sure I want to make him unavailable in case I get some brilliant idea to use him for. Slim chance. Lori Dane Actually a name on my list that I was considering... and the specific reason I went back to this portion of the show and made it non-gender specific. A possibility. Make up somebody tied to past territories, perhaps the son of a past promoter I DO like the idea of using someone from one of our territories partially because it gives us a blank slate to work with. Just couldn't immediately come up with one that I loved. Good chance. Marcus Broussard I like this one a lot as well. Another guy who is synonymous with the AWA and would have a vested interest in its future. My biggest concern would be whether or not we could keep him off-camera and not in an angle. Good chance. Luke Kinsey This is an interesting one to me. As Andy pointed out, he's got ties to various AWA personalities which makes it a good fit... but he's another one that seems unlikely to me to stay out of things. A thought. Chris Blue Not happening. I'm perfectly happy running my angle with Moze for the time being. Rob James Even if I could get Blackie to approve it, I don't trust myself to write for that character. We'd have to convince Wug to write all Presidential Promos since he knows the character best out of those still around. No chance. Casey James Noooooope. Bill Masterson Former AWA owner, former EMWC exec... would seem like a decent choice. A possibility. |

I'll throw out a few other names: Karl O'Conner - the right age and ties to AWA and surrounding territories, former wrestler who is probably too old to get dragged back into the ring, and has the name recognition to be interesting. I originally was going to say George Rogers but with Adam now back it seems less likely. SCW Promoter Jim Somers - Has promoter history in our little world, maybe not the instant name rec. you might want, but could work. Sam Owens - MSW history and all. West Memphis Assassin - So you can drag out the mystery even further until you find the person you want! Blackjack Patterson - The Mauler! Kind of replaces Watkins as the big tough former wrestler stepping into an authority role. Guys might question him from time to time, even needle him here and there, but he's still intimidating enough that can't just run over him. |

Also like the O'Connor and Somers ideas. That puts our "short list" at: Karl O'Connor Jim Somers Hamilton Graham Gordon Myers Lori Dane Marcus Broussard Luke Kinsey Bill Masterson Any other suggestions? Anyone feel strongly about one of these over another? Anyone think one of them is the absolute wrong choice for some reason? |

Let's not move Myers. Percy Childes volunteers! In more serious suggestions, what about Vernon Riley? Or Oliver Strickland? I'd offer Brent Maverick (Mueller) if you wanted. Or any other character of mine that'd fit (Joe Bruise, Sean McDougal); while enforcing the shared universe of feds, the only inherent advantage over those already mentioned would be actual e-w history in other territories. |

I think a Jack Tunney-esque character would be great, so any ex-wrestler or anyone who's currently an on-air talent wouldn't be a fit. |

Hey, Blue, to be clear all my suggestions before were jokes. I've been half out of my mind on cold meds lately so nothing I say can be taken all that seriously... |

I'd rather not see Myers either, I think he's such a great voice of the AWA matches that I'd miss reading him on a regular basis. I'd rather see Bucky as President and Dane, Stegglet, or Patterson move to the announcer's table if you were gonna pull someone from there. Kinsey would be great but honestly I'm just waiting for Doran to break down and bring him back as a wrestler full time so that would be a painful tease each week. My idea as a whole would be this: Hamilton Graham, Terry Shane Jr., and Karl O'Conner defect from St. Louis Wrestling Office in the 80's after Sam Owens tried to push them towards the sidelines and use them to put over young enhancement talent. They formed the St. Louis Wrestling Club to rival his promotion. After 20-30 years of running the territory they begin to filter into different roles.. Shane became the head trainer with Oliver Strickland, and Graham still insisted on using himself in marquee matches and main events after getting a taste of success back in the early stages of AWA. This did not sit well with Karl O'Conner who felt Graham was full of himself and growing tired of his ego he began orchestrating a new plan, to sell SLWC to the AWA. After convincing Graham/Shane of his idea and that it was the perfect time to sell we find out his real agenda.. that the sale also included him moving into the presidential role AWA, a promise made to him by the Committee. |

The first thing he would have to do is change the AWA into an MMA fed, on account of being banned from wrestling. Monosso would lose the rematch with Wright in under 20 seconds... |
