A Message From The President
To all of you beautifal faces that helped build the dream of LA Underground, I thank you for your support and your love of the fed. This was something in the back of my mind for a long time, an idea and a vision I wanted to deliver to you all. A fed that runs on the borders of wacky, fun, wild, violent, sexy, cool and mostly...
A E S T H E T I C
What we got in the end what a hub for amazing characters, amazing writers and some of the coolest fed action I've ever been graced to be a part of. A visual treat (and not just because the roster was stacked with hotties). So to you, I thank you and wish that you van follow me on my next endeavor...
Kudo Shuto Warzone
My challenges in LAU were many, from keeping on time with admin duties to RPing as some of the jobbers to level the field, to actually creating the content and publishing it on time. Doing all of this solo was tasking as hell, but I had planned everything out accordingly to make sure there would be no setbacks or issues...until I had to move home, jobs and go through some family shit. So, solo fed ownership becomes a LOT more challenging then!
How will I do things different in the next fed? Simple- teamwork. I'll be joining a team of amazing admins, each capable of running a fed solo never mind combined. Myself, Steele (formerly of AWF and a bazillion other success stories), Kira (current spokesperson for all-female action and a big influence on the next setting) and Duke (former owner of FWA/ RWA and the reason we have pretty much 50% of the population we have today).
So look to the boards for SEC and their subsidiary KSW, and continue with me there. As for the fate of Morgan Ziegler, Samara Black and the LA Underground brand...
We open backstage of the XHF global masterpiece, Supremacy. With the show closed and cemented in the history books as one of the biggest and best wrestling shows ever, worldwide, all eyes are set forward for the good times and the next big thing to happen. We cut to find Morgan Ziegler, owner of the Los Angeles Underground wrestling federation, being accompanied off of the ship by his CEO and GM Samara Black. They are both carrying some luggage, Ziegler with a briefcase and Black with a clutch-binder. They are chatting quietly as they exit the HMS Smackdown and make their way to a private car waiting. However as they near their private vehicle, they are approached by a man in a blue jacket and aviators...
Man: Mr. Ziegler? Ms. Black?
Black: Sorry, no interviews at this time.
Man: Ms. Black, this is not what you-
Black: Look, I'm sorry we can't help you but we do not have ti-
Man: Ms. Black I am Lieutenant Argyle, F.B.I...I think you can make time for that.
Ziegler: FBI? What is this all about?
Argyle: Mr. Ziegler, it has come to my attention there has been some suspicious activity on your behalf, relating to your corporation 'Underground' and its actions with known affiliates of the Yakuza clan.
Ziegler: Yakuza? What nonsense is this? This is preposterous.
Argyle: Sir I'm afraid you will need to come with us.
Ziegler: Us?
As he says it, another three men appear on all sides, matching blue jackets and aviators...classic FBI appearances.
Ziegler: I see...how long with this take?
Argyle: That depends, how well do you know Mr. Yamaguchi-gumi?
Ziegler snorts, laughing to the officer.
Ziegler: What a ridiculous name, how could I ever kno-
The office pulls a photo from his pocket, clearly showing Ziegler speaking with the associates of the Yamaguchi-Gumi clan.
Ziegler: ...
Argyle: This might take some time.
Ziegler: This is insanity, that is not what you think! I don't know who those people are, they were attending a fundrais-
The officer begins to grab Mr. Ziegler by the wrist and spins him, cuffing him. The other officers quickly close their distance too. A car pulls up and the door swings open to load in Mr. Ziegler.
Ziegler: This is nuts! Samara, run the show while I'm away, I need you to keep Underground running!
Black: But...what am I expected to do? I don't know your contacts or connections? Or even the schedule!
Ziegler: It'll be fine, check my notes and laptop, it's all in there. You can keep this going.
Argyle: Actually...she's coming with us too.
Black: What?!
Argyle: The tip off we got to lock down Mr. Ziegler, the one thing that lead us to believe he was connected...was you.
Black: What the fuck!
Argyle pulls out his phone, and plays back a message which is very clearly Samara Black having a conversation with somebody, then changing so she can speak in Japanese.
Argyle: Would you like me to translate this for your boss?
Black: ...fuck you.
Argyle: Hmph, I didn't think so.
He grabs Samara Black and starts to cuff her now as Ziegler is sat into a cop car. He looks at her with wide eyes, in disbelief as she is loaded into a second car. With both arrests completed, the cars drive off into the distance and disappear from sight. With them goes the future of LA Underground, and it's destiny left up in the air...
