Chapter 8: Mr. Gibson’s Thoughts
Andrew Gibson, the owner, and CEO of LWC was in quite a pickle these days. When he had acquired the deal from Breeze TV at the recommendation of his friend Simon, he had hoped that things would turn for the better.
And like always, things have taken a turn for worse.
When he began LWC with the aim to train and nurture young talents in the world of professional wrestling, he didn’t have any idea about running a promotion at all. He just wanted to train budding talents and see them grow into great wrestlers.
However, when the young ones he trained faced closed doors and rejection in the world of professional wrestling due to politics, he was heartbroken. His exit from AWF was not without drama.
In fact, he had been tired of the various office politics and had clashed with several influential people backstage. As a result, he had been sidelined by several people joining hands. Unwilling to work in such an environment, he left the company to do what he loved doing.
Unfortunately, while he was able to let go of the past, his past refused to let go of him. His enemies were not just content with driving him away. They also didn’t want him to turn over. Steven had been the only one understanding of his plight.
So, when he saw that his disciples were being blocked from their future due to their association with him, in a fit of rage, he tried to book a show to showcase their talents.
The result was pretty good.
Having a base in Longham City ensured that his product always had some demand in the market. Thus, what began as a way to promote his disciples turned into a small wrestling promotion on its own.
While unintentional, LWC had the approval of fans and with his experience in the industry, he was able to make even with the costs that he invested. It was really going well.
While he didn’t make a large profit, he was able to make a small profit with each show and help a lot of young talents out there. It had been a fulfilling three years for him.
Then came the TV deal with Steven’s recommendation.
