<we cut to a room with just a television sitting on a table. The tv turns on and there is static for a moment, then it turns to an interview with the local news outlet>
Darcell Grimes: I am here with Nate Corbitt, the owner and General Manager of the Puns House Wrestling Federation, headquartered right here in Asheville. Mr. Corbitt, we understand that you are bringing professional wrestling back to the Asheville area!
NC: That's right Darcell. Starting this Thursday, we will be running shows at the Asheville Civic Center in downtown Asheville. Our rosters will be posted on punshouse.com, come check us out, bell time is around eight pm
DG: We understand that the PHWF has been on a bit of a hiatus
NC: That is true. We opened operations in 2007 and were successful for several months, but then a raid on talent from.......well, lets just say another promotion based in Ohio, forced us to close shop. We made another attempt in 2010, but it turns out the man backing that was not really interested in parting with his money. This time, however, we have solid backing from a source that I trust completely.
DG: Who is your backing?
NC: Well, I am not at liberty to divulge that at this moment, that will be revealed in good time
DG: It looks like you have big plans for Thursdays
NC: That's right Darcell, and we are going to keep it local. We know we are small, and we are fine with that. Asheville has always been a good city for wrestling. We are not going to take the show all over the world, we want to build a fan base right here in the mountains. Starting this week, we will begin tournaments for the tag team, television and world heavyweight titles
DG: Sounds like a great time! Mr. Corbitt, we wish you the very best!
NC: Don't forget, Thursday Throwdown, live at 8pm at the Asheville Civic Center, if you miss the show, you do television tapings, and replays will be shown at 1:30am Sunday mornings, just after Ring of Honor Wrestling!
<we see a hand turn off the TV, then a cloud of smoke blows toward the television>
V: Excellent
