HUGE PRESS CONFERENCE INTRODUCES NEW CO-OWNER AND DETAILS OF RELAUNCH
Freakenstein and Tommy Hawk started the Press Conference at the New Brooklyn Sports Complex. They were sitting at a large table on the stage with six empty seats. Freakenstein rose and walked to the podium.
"We have a lot of announcements to make and some folks to introduce you to, so please hold your questions until the end. First off I want to say that it brings me a big honor to announce that the new ICOF will be debuting very soon with an initial Reborn Again tour. I am very proud of what we have already accomplished here and to be able to add a new chapter to the history of this great promotion that my father, Maxwell Sidious founded so many years ago fills me with pride. I believe we are honoring his memory by continuing this legacy.
Yes we ran into some complications with the unexpected turn of events with Mother, as well as the individual who he sold his share to -- an individual that will be introduced very shortly. For now I am going to quickly go over some of the basics that our new promotion will entail and then Tommy will say a few words before we introduce our co-owner and guests.
First off, the new ICOF will have a weekly show, but the heavy focus of the promotion will be on our live tours. We are planning on an extensive touring schedule with each tour capped off by a major show. The weekly show will be matches from the tours as well as news and information based. Our first tour will begin in just three weeks and ticket information will be available at the end of this press conference. For obvious reasons we are calling the first tour Reborn Again.
We believe that there should be no glass ceilings in the promotion. Therefore, we will have six active divisions and anyone who is ranked in their respective divisions will qualify for contention of the ICOF Championship. I do mean anyone, so that would include tag teams, women, juniors, it doesn't matter. There will be very few limitations in this promotion. The six divisions will each have their own championship. They will include the Titan Division for heavyweights, the Unlimited Division, which is sort of a juniors division, but there is no definitive weight limit, the Xtreme Division as it would not be the ICOF without some hardcore action, the Omega Division which we will talk about more a bit later, the Gemini Division for duos and the Valkyrie Division for the women.
Furthermore, the back history of the ICOF was always full of stables and teams with their own agendas. We have decided that instead of fighting it, we will embrace it. In fact, later in the year we will have a Stable Wars series to determine which team will get bragging rights, as well as title shots for the winners. Again, more details on this event will be given as the time grows closer.
Now, I am going to turn things over to my colleague, Tommy Hawk, who will have a few words to say as well."
After a round of applause, Tommy Hawk approaches the podium.
"Thank you Freak, and thank you all for the warm welcome. I am going to be short and to the point so we have time to introduce the rest of the guests. As Freakenstein stated, we will have a group of teams. Each team will be captained by a member of the Inner Council. This council of eight will replace the role of the commissioner. That way no one person will have too much control in the promotion. If we have a problem with a wrestler or group of wrestlers, it will be the council that determines any suitable actions that will be taken. If the issue is with someone who is part of the council, then the other seven will judge the repercussions. We feel this is the best way to handle anything that may happen, And if past history is taken into account, I'm sure the council will have their hands full.
Each owner will have their own team. Freakenstein's team will be the Freak World Order, while I will captain the Extreme Dream Team. We will let you know the individual team members at a later date, but let me introduce you to the new co-owner, Lord Gaunt."
At this point eerie organ music pipes through the sound system and smoke wafts through the door. The lighting turns red and an albino in long robes walks quietly to the podium. His piercing eyes seem to stare right through the souls of the gathered reports and VIPs.
"Good day ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lord Gaunt and before anyone asks the question, let me just say that the reasons I purchased a portion of this wrestling promotion are my own, for now, but when the time is right you will know what my goal is. I will be an active competitor, but primarily I will be leading my charges, The Nightmare Factory in our quest to prove we are the true power of this ICOF. Thank you for your time."
At this point, Lord Gaunt gives a slight smile and nods his head to the reporters and takes his seat next to Tommy Hawk.
The all too familiar sound of Danzig's Mother blares through the sound system and the big intimidating presence of Mother is standing at the door. Mother has a cocky swagger as he strides to the state and podium, pointedly ignoring the daggers that Tommy Hawk is giving him in the process.
"Alright, time is money and I have LOT's of it, hahaha! I will be short and to the point. Thanks to my ironclad contract that our esteemed owner, Lord Gaunt has given me, I can pretty much write my own ticket. Besides that, I also arranged to be a part of the council and will be leading my Truckers to plenty of gold...and more money. Dig that, suckas!"
At this point, Mother put out his cigar on the podium and sneered before taking a seat at the far right hand of the table and as far away from Tommy as he could possibly sit.
Freakenstein rose to his feet again and approached the podium to introduce the next councilman.
"Next up, I would like to introduce you to Skurge. He will discuss the Omega division a bit further."
The lights suddenly turn a flickering orange as a huge cybernetic demon storms into the room. The reporters all step back and gasp, a few let out small shrieks and one of them faints, as the big winged creature makes his way to the stage.
"First off, I know my image is a bit off-putting. But let me reassure you that I mean none of you any harm. Those of us from the Ninth Layer have a reputation. You call us demons, and yes some of our ancestors have done some very nefarious things to help lead to this impression. I hope in time you will understand that we are a very misunderstood species. I will be bringing something a bit different to the fold as my team will actually spend a lot of time competing with each other in the Omega Division. The division will be one of honor and strict codes of conduct. The spirit of athletic competition is the focus of my Fight Club Elite. While our focus will be on the Omega division, we will gladly battle anyone at anytime and the ICOF Championship is something within our sights as well."
At this point as Skurge goes to take a seat, the reporters seem to relax a bit. Freakenstein gets up to announce the next person, but is interrupted by what sounds like a young girl giggling and then funhouse music. A cute girl with ponytails and freckles comes out. She is full of smiles and a few coy winks to the cuter reporters as she walks to the stage.
"Don't worry about introducing little ol' me, sugah, I can introduce myself just fine."
She turns to the reporters and gives them a big smile.
"My name is Folly and it seems the big hunk of man, Mother felt it was important to have a woman on the council, so here I am! I know you are all wondering to know all about me and don't worry, before long you will know ALL my secrets. Teehee! Me and my boys in the Misfit Toyz will sure to make things interesting around here. You can count on that!"
After some uncomfortable laughter and another round of winks to the reporters she saunters over to the table and takes her seat. Freakenstein gets up to make his next announcement.
"The next member of the council I want to introduce is another ICOF original. One of the most successful wrestlers in the company's history as well as one of the most well-respected locker room leaders as well. The second generation star, Silver Mane!"
The regal Silver Mane makes his way to the podium to a very warm reception. As is always his way, the soft spoken Silver Mane quietly waits for the commotion to settle down before he speaks.
"Thank you all very much. It gladdens my heart to serve as a member of the council with the promotion that has given me so much over the years. My team will be called The Unchained and we will strive to be role models to the youth of all worlds of what they can accomplish..."
Suddenly a large roar is heard by the entryway and another dark and familiar lionoid stalks his way into the room. Alpha Male has made an appearance.
"Blah blah blah blah blah. Your words are so sickening, Silver Mane. You are always kissing babies and whispering the words that everyone wants to hear. It makes me ill that we are both of the same subrace! We are kings of the wrestling jungle! We aren't role models! We aren't baby kissers, we don't whisper, we roar! You lead your pathetic little team of brats and whimps, my Alpha Pack is going to stand tall and show no mercy to anyone who stands in our way, particularly your pathetic Unchained."
As he finishes his statement, Silver Mane roars and leaps at him and the two lionoids engage in a wild brawl, sending cameras and chairs flying in every direction. Security tries to step in and keep them apart, but the ferocity of the two bitter enemies is too much and the security is hard pressed to stop them. Tommy Hawk, Freakenstein and Skurge all fun down to stop the brawl, but Mother then jumps Tommy from behind and another brawl breaks out on the stage. Lord Gaunt just sat there and smiled at the carnage and Folly breaks out in laughter so hard she literally fell out of her seat in hysterics.
No reporters were left in the room to ask any questions....and with that, the ICOF was Reborn Again
