Mmouse Enterprises
Chairman’s HQ
Knoxville, Tennessee
July 7, 2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
As of Midnight, July 7th, 2020, the Board of Directors of Mmouse Enterprises have authorized an addition $200 Million to spend on the preparation for Season Four, with another $200 Million approval under consideration. Chairman Murrey asked for the approval of the new monies for the purpose of improving the look of PWI’s backstage experience and for the potential of another contract negotiation or two in the coming days. The Chairman also released the following statement after the competition’s recent public statement:
“Feeling emboldened by a season of featuring an undefeated streak for EWA’s programming, Benny is feeling quite confident in the product that he presents. He should, as it is a great product…when the fans get to see it. We have yet to see the EWA perform under pressure with a consistent schedule against PWI programming, especially when the one constant trend of PWI’s ratings is an upward trajectory at such an accelerating rate that we have narrowed the gap significantly and made this a real ratings war.
I will admit that I made some executive mistakes at the outset of this era which hurt our chances of competing with the EWA on the level that our fans have come to expect. We experimented with some projects when it wasn’t necessary, and we took a while to respond to the demands of the audience. Now, I am confident, more than ever, that the Fourth Season of PWI – the second season of professional wrestling in this, the Sixth Era – will be a fine-tuned product that will not only defeat the EWA in the ratings, but will eventually shut them out entirely. That is, unless Benny does what he has always done and…hits the reset button mid-game.
Regarding the EWA announcement about their developmental program “Dark” moving to television in the coming season, I have a few thoughts on this as well. Benny can try to say that this FRIDAY program is meant to exclusively compete with our SATURDAY developmental program all he wants, but we know what he is really saying: he doesn’t have the confidence that “Dark” will be able to compete with the PWI’s Friday show once that officially launches in January. Nor does he have the confidence that it will compete well with Ascendants in a head-to-head battle. Ascendants has consistently been one of the most popular shows on television every weekend and I have no problem authorizing Slammu to invest more time and money in making it more than another “developmental show”.
In fact, as of right now, I will be authorizing both Commissioner Slammu and the Friday Show Commissioner to do whatever they need to in order to create a superior product as a deterrent to the EWA. This includes whatever backstage content they need, a better presentation of the “Spotlight Interview”, a better stage, high-profile matches, and other special moments which will certainly captivate the audience.
If Benny wants to try us we will meet that challenge and EXCEED his expectations. I am extending a challenge to him right now: move “Dark” to Saturdays to compete directly with Ascendants, if you feel so confident about the product. If you do not do so before the Season Premiere of PWI’s Fourth Season, I will seriously consider temporarily moving Ascendants to Fridays until we have a full-time Friday show!
There will be more announcements to come over the next few days. For now, please enjoy the rest of today and check out the website for some more updates, including the official posting of our Preseason Power Rankings!”
