Chapter 71: Diana’s Ascent
<October 16, Longham Wrestling Arena, Longham City>
Half an hour before the show begins...
Rob walked inside the women’s locker room with a purposeful stride. He knew that the saga of Dacey vs Diana had only entered the beginning stage. And there was much to be done tonight to push it into the next stage.
Moreover, the next six weeks were going to be challenging for him as well. Not in the storytelling aspect, but in the most important aspect of booking – managing talents across the board.
Until now, he had been concentrating on one or two storylines with Dacey and Diana at the forefront of his booking. Every other female wrestler had been relegated to playing second fiddle to them.
However, for the next six weeks, he needs to push a bevy of wrestlers to the forefront for the plan he had outlined to Mr. Gibson and the others in the meeting to work.
He had asked for extra time for the female wrestlers contracted with LWC and he has been given it. Now, the ball is in his court and he had to push several other wrestlers to prominence in six weeks while also maintaining the momentum Dacey and Diana had generated for themselves.
It was going to be a challenging task for sure. Because, if he didn’t push enough of the other wrestlers to the forefront, the second match of the PPV will be a dud and it will in turn cause Mr. Gibson to retract the timings to the original allocation.
Furthermore, it will also put a dent in his record of delivering what he had promised so far. He knew that he had already got some traction with the management with Dacey and Diana’s booking.
However, if he wanted to become a full-fledged booker and one-day book the main event, then he needed to show the management of LWC that he had what it took to manage multiple talents and book a great show featuring them.
That’s why these upcoming six weeks are so important for him from a career perspective. While doing this wouldn’t get him the chance to book the main event, failing in this would surely diminish his chances greatly.
Rob didn’t want such a thing to happen.
