Finally got to play The Manager. Highlights:
-The Charisma-free technical wrestler opining, on his chances of victory: “I’ve been in this business a long time. Even though it was in England.”
-My manager responding to a sexist commentator by leaning in, and yelling into his mic “If you dislike women so much, why ya been married eight times?”
–And then using his line “I hate those damn greasers!” as the stinger for their new theme song.
-The backstage interviewer sticking her mic in the technician’s face again, saying “I bet the crowd here, in Denver Colorado, would will enjoy this match.” To which he responded, “Yeah, same as anywhere I guess.”

In kayfabe, Eastern Championship Wrestling bought The Western Federation. During the roster shuffle, everyone was worried about losing their spot and being fired.
The show opened with a Jack Deere vignette; he was a hot-shot Texan that the fans were wild for.
Tawni (who manages “Her Boyfriend”, Snakebite), absolutely incensed the crowd in Denver. The pair beat high flyer Sparrow after a match amazing for two things:
–Snakebite’s breakaway jeans and t-shirt, which he wore over River High wrestling gear:
–The absolutely ludicrous amount of cheating Tawni did.
Backstage, “Tawni” (AKA Lorraine) asked Sam how he felt about her performance, but he, not getting the hint, said he was stretching and planning his own match for later.
Sam later won his four way match, partially due to one of the competitors being ambushed backstage by DEMON MAN!
Demon Man took on Jack Deere in the main event. Demon went off script, hitting Jack with a chairshot and pinning him. Lorraine and “Sam” (real first name) congratulated him on his win, before Jack came backstage and started screaming about the ending.
Lorraine calmed down Deere, telling him Demon was just another Eastern clown. Why didn’t Jack talk to the boss and feud with Snakebite instead? She’d gotten a hell of a reaction!
Sam looked on, British and amused, as Tawni jumped her guy from opening act to main eventer.
The essence of the manager, ladies and gentlemen.
