MY OPEN LETTER TO BILL BUSCH

Dear Mr. Busch;

I have been watching your work ever since you came into power at WCW. I have seen the company's recent struggles and have a few observations.

For starters, I can do your job better than you can. Never mind the fact that I have no experience in a major wrestling company. I don't need to--I have booked in my backyard fed. I booked Jose The Crazy to the Outdoors World Title with such poetry. First, he lost his first match in the company. I did this because I know the impatience of the smart marks. They instantly said he was being wasted and would never rise to the top of the card. But I showed them! Soon he was beating people with the Crippler Crossface and he won the belt with this wicked clever ending that played off the Survivor Series angle, while still allowing my guys to go through a half dozen tables!

I am an excellent booker. I used to e-wrestle, and I have sheets of WWF fantasy booking that I have done. The WWF would be so much better off if they listened to me. I know everything, you see--I read the Big 3 Newsboard and they give me all the insider news. Guys like Robert Pasabanani and of course the INFORMER have rock-solid inside sources. So I know what could turn the WCW around. First, you need to push young guys.

Now I am sure you have never heard that one before, but it's true. You should push some young talent. Like Booker T. He's 37. That's young. Push him. Push Norman Smiley, he's still only 36.

We also need a person who the "boys" in the back, the Nash's and Boella's and Pnfof's of the world, can respect. That person is me. My first day in power I will show them my highlight tape of my work in my backyard. When they see me hit a moonsault off a house and get right back up, they will be impressed. None of them can do that. And I cut a great promo....if you smell what I'm cooking.

Now I know the problem is you have a lot of guys under guarunteed contracts and have to justify to higher-ups why you are paying them, so you put them on TV. Well I would solve that problem really quick. I'd tell Upper Managment to go FUCK themselves. Yea, that's how you do buisness. I took a buisness class at a community college for a few weeks, I know the ins and outs of everything.

In closing, I hereby offer to you my services as head booker/President of WCW. As I am sure you can see, my status as elite smart fan, and my unparalled success as booker of my own federation for 2 years, and my high education give me the skills it takes to survive. I will even work for free; since I live with my parents, I don't need any money. Hey, it works for Paul Heyman.

I am awaiting your response:
