Chapter 65: Post <Last Stand>
"Well the reports are in, and..." Mr. Gibson glanced at the papers in front of him in a happy mood and hummed thoughtfully. "I gotta say, this is not much of a surprise. Still, I am glad to see the women’s division doing this well. The best match of the night is obviously Dacey vs Diana. Even the main event seems to be getting less attention than it."
"Not that Mark’s match wasn’t good. But, it was still at the same level as Mark usually performs and the ladies have bashed the ball out of the park, so to speak. Congratulations Rob, your program is a huge hit with the crowd."
"Thank you, Mr. Gibson," Rob smiled happily in return.
He could see that Robin’s smile was stiff across the table, but he didn’t mind it much. Mr. Wolfe was also giving him a proud smile across the table. So, instead, he chose to focus on that.
"The last two months have been really good for LWC, as a company, so to speak. Our merchandise sales have doubled and we have sold out two PPVs, while we have been struggling to keep this company going in the past. I am happy to announce that we are finally in the green, way past above the red line that we have been hovering at," Mr. Gibson revealed causing a satisfactory smile to emerge on all faces.
"Most of the credit for this goes to Mark and the women’s division as a whole. They both have injected new enthusiasm into our product amidst the crowds. And I think it is safe to say that we are officially on the mid-tier when it comes to promotion sizes," Mr. Gibson said proudly.
"That is why I have decided to host our next PPV in a bigger arena and test the waters. If we are able to sell it out as well, I know it is a hard task, but we gotta aim high here. If we are able to sell it out, then we will reach the top echelon of the mid-tier promotions easily."
"As for AWF, I don’t think we need to worry about them much. The turmoil in the company is at an all-time high and Steven is not going out quietly it seems. He has used his influence to stir up a lot of trouble for Greg in the locker room. It will take some time for AWF to sort themselves out."
"Meanwhile, we can use this opportunity to grow rapidly. The timing is just right for us. And with our next PPV being an extreme PPV, I think we will be able to attract more crowds as well. So, I am opening the floor now to discuss anything and everything related to it," Mr. Gibson finished his speech and looked at each of them eagerly.
And as usual, Robin was the first to go.
"Steven may have induced some troubles for Greg in the short term, but his exit from the company is confirmed. We can be assured that Greg will make it his priority to establish his control over the company," Robin said shifting in his chair. "That means, there will be some wrestlers who will be let go."
"Not just wrestlers, backstage personnel as well. Whoever Greg considers to be very close to Steven will be kicked out as well," Mr. Wolfe said humming.
