A confident Dana White steps to the podium to address the gathered media.
Dana White: Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining me here today for this big announcement. I am pleased and excited to announce that Zuffa, LLC is embarking on a new venture in the sports entertainment industry. I am pleased to announce the creation of the National Fighting Alliance.
The banner behind Dana is unveiled:
Dana White: Now I know you're all wondering why Zuffa is venturing off into the sports entertainment sector, and that's a valid question. Our research has found that there is still a desire among our target demographic for quality wrestling matches, but without all that shitty gimmick crap. People want to see the hard-hitting, athletic, and aggressive style of wrestling that they can't find on any outlet currently.
Dave Meltzer: Didn't Greg Bonessi try something like that last year with the Ultimate Wrestling Championship?
Dana White: Yeah, and "try" is the key word, there. Much like the Affliction fiasco, he wasn't very successful. Sure he reeled in a couple big-name fighters, but mostly they were schmucks nobody had heard of or cared about. He had a buncha goofy fucks, too. Now I'm not gonna sit here and tell you we won't have some flamboyant guys on our fed, but these guys will be able to back it up, as well.
With all that being said, I'm going to take a very hands-off approach to management here. I will now turn things over to my mysterious associate who likes to simply be referred to as "Gator", as he will be handling the general management duties in the NFA.
Gator:Thanks, Dana. As he just said, we're very excited to be launching this new venture. We've acquired the rights to use an 8-sided ring for out matches, and even a full-fledged UFC Octagon for special cage match attractions. We will also be featuring 3 weight classes: Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Lightweight.
We are currently involved in aggressive negotiations to bring some of the hardest-hitting sports entertainers to the NFA, and we will make you all aware of signings and their likely weight class as contracts are finalized. Thanks for your time.
