Johnny: Run away, coward! Hey Bobby, Your co-host really is a clown isn't he. Guess that's why they call him Bozo.  
 
Jimmy: Whoa yeah! Bozo the clown Brazil. Have mercy. Listen up Bobby Jenkins. We've come all the way from New York, City to this dump called Indianapolis for one reason. Cold, hard cash. We're gonna whip all these so-called wrestlers and make a killing doing it. If those two punks we just beat are an example of the competition here in the WWA, it's gonna be easy money! I've beaten up tougher bums in Central Park.

-George Cannon walks out  
 
Cannon: Gentlemen, I respect your abilities and normally would agree that you're the wildest team in this area. However, I have procured the Indianapolis contracts of two men who will make you look as imposing as kittens.  
 
Luke: Whaddaya yappin' about, Cannon?  
 
Cannon: These men truly know no boundaries. They will seek and destroy any team I tell them to. Man has not seen a destructive force as great as these two crazies, and I don't use the word crazy lightly. Bruiser and Crusher will be putty in their hands!  
 
Jerry: Well, who is it?  
 
Cannon: That is for me to know.  
 
Luke: Cannon: So be it.  
-Cannon leaves, as do the Grahams  
 
Brazil (confused): Bob, what's going on? Who could be crazier than the Grahams? Alright, bring 'em to the Hinkle Fieldhouse tomorrow night and we'll see how tough they are!  
 
Jenkins (also confused): Your guess is as good as mine. I guess we'll find out tomorrow night. Fans, we'll be back.

This was a really good show, I'm looking forward to the upcoming shows around Indiana.
 
I have to say, the Valiant Brothers were my favourites here.

Great Promo by The Valiants up against Brazil. Loved their reactions about Lewin.
 
Coage against Bruiser should be a good change of pace.
 
I love that the TV pushed the local house show.
 
Great job by WWA.

Feedback to improve  Huh???
 
My friend, that was a great show.
 
For your first time, you hit it out of the park IMO.
 
The only thing I'll say, is that when you have someone talking....maybe put what they are saying in Italic, or change the color of the text, that would make it a bit easier to read and know when they are talking.
 
Ex:  Jenkins: Thank you Mr. Einhorn. Fans, welcome to the inaugural show for the new WWA Indianapolis! My co-host for today's show is wrestling great...Bobo Brazil.  
 
make it look like this

That would be easier...but other that excellent work
