New Breed Foundation Internal Memo
Involved Departments
Marketing, Records and Contracts, Lock Down Security, Legal
After recent events, I have decided to restructure the format of Lock Down Security and their availability to companies under the investment umbrella. In the coming week I need to set up meetings with each of your departments to gather some information as we undergo this process and I seek your input for the ease of negotiations and expedience of legal proceedings moving forward with the new contracts that will be offered for the use of the Lock Down agency.
I know that this new change will alter the structure of some of the branches of the Foundation moving forward, and that is why I am seeking input on this now, so that we can make this transitions as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
I believe that this renewed focus in what's best for the Foundation as a singular entity as opposed to our long standing ideology of helping others first and foremost and trusting the same would be done for us may be a long forgotten path, and if we don't start looking out for the Foundation first, we will lose our ability to help others as we always have in the future. If we fail, buckle and collapse... then we cannot continue to provide homes, employment and emergency aid around the globe as we do currently, and then, even more people will suffer.
As sad as this realization has been to make, I believe that for the longevity of the Foundation and for the continuance of what we do here for the health and betterment of others, we have got to focus more on the benefit of the Foundation and the value we can gain from future contracts before we evaluate the amount of help that we can provide other corporate entities.
By next Wednesday, I will have a better idea of what we are looking at, and on Thursday we should have a Committee meeting to finalize these details and look over the paperwork. Let me know what time works best for all of you, and I will add the meeting to the schedule. Thank you for your time. I look forward to seeing all of you this week and working this transition out.

DENISE ESSEX: “I'm here live from downtown Jacksonville, Florida, the hometown or both Johnathan Cable AND Gideon King, and today, I'm going to be finding out what makes this massive Florida City a hotbed of wrestling action!”
Denis walks across a sidewalk to the front of a small brightly colored storefront and approaches a man in a tank top and board shorts sitting quietly reading a book out front at a small table.
DENISE ESSEX: “Hello... I'm Denise Essex from WGWF Network, and I was wondering if you had a minute to talk about what makes Jacksonville a hotbed for wrestling for a story I'm working on?”
The man looks up from the pages of his book, props his sunglasses onto the top of his head and smiles at her with a goofy grin.
RANDOM MAN: “As far as Florida goes... Jacksonville is a pure oddity. Cities like Daytona and Fort Lauderdale and have tourist attractions around every corner that draw in the historical minded folks who spend weeks walking through every fort and street vendor cart. Miami and Tampa are popular with those easily swayed by the current trendy online must see vacation spots end up there for the selfies and the bragging rights. Then again, when you mention Florida destinations, you can't forget the crown jewel of them all in Orlando... the House of Mouse... as the number one go-to spot in the State for sure... at least for the suckers and transplants anyway. Who can resist the dreamland of every girl and boy who has ever watched an animated movie in the last four decades, right?”
DENISE ESSEX: “Sure...”
RANDOM MAN: “Then... there's Jacksonville.”
DENISE ESSEX: “OK?”
RANDOM MAN: “Notably the largest city by land mass in the United States, with it's own rich history of cultural events and moments in our Nation's growth that are important and distinguishable to the course events historically, but... honestly... there is very little about this sprawling metropolis that's any more special than any other city in our nation, even if it is on a smaller scale elsewhere.
DENISE ESSEX: “That's an interesting perspective.”
RANDOM MAN: “Realistically... to live here... it's pretty unremarkable. Sure... there are amazing museums and arboretums full of the most beautiful local flora you will ever see ... swanky clubs with the most cutting edge music and drinks in the state and boutiques for everything you could imagine as far as the eye can see. There are classy little cigar bars with import lists that make your head spin and hole in the wall sandwich shops with food to die for you would never know were there if your buddy hadn't taken you there for lunch this one time. The hustle and bustle of metro life is in full swing in nearly every corner of the world famous DUVAAAAAL county... the only county in America known around the Globe, mind you... and yet for all of the amazing things contained inside the city here... there is a distinct difference in Jacksonville.”
DENISE ESSEX: “What do you mean?”
RANDOM MAN: “Around the world, there is an understanding of what Southern Hospitality is, and how it works. Your 'Yes Maams' and your 'Thank Yous' and your 'Come on Back Nows'... And for the most part, once you get south of the Mason Dixon Line, that's the way it works. People are polite, and they want to put their best foot forward, and even when you get insulted for being an idiot... 'Bless Your Little Pea Pickin Heart'... It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, like you made a friend you didn't know you didn't have already, but now you know you have no idea how to live your life out without them in it. Except in Jacksonville.
DENISE ESSEX: “I'm afraid I don't understand.”
RANDOM MAN: “In the entire Southern half of America... there is not one single place that embodies the 'If I Don't Give a Fuck Was a Person' kind of vibe more than in the armpit of the South... Jacksonville, Florida. There's over a million residents. There's no Tourist Attractions. There's too many bars AND Churches. People here just work, exist, drink and/or get high, sleep some, repeat... day in and day out.”
DENISE ESSEX: “That sounds horrible.”
RANDOM MAN: “ It is. No one here gives a rat's ass 'How you doing today?' because they've already been yelled at by seven customers, and one of them was their uncle who wanted a special discount on his liquor at ten this morning.”
“No one here cares to properly merge into the highway... not that they can't (even though some people wonder if this is in fact a skill issue)... but they just don't have enough consideration for others to think that they too are in a hurry and also have important things to accomplish.”
“No one here can muster enough fucks to give about a problem truly effecting others... because obviously that's a 'Them Problem' and no one here is about to care enough to make it a 'Me Problem'. We have enough of our own... thanks ever so much.”
“Shit... Jacksonville forgot we were even part of the South properly, and told the rest of the planet to unkindly to Go Fuck Itself.”
“Hell... Jacksonville didn't even stop at just the rest of the planet... they told themselves to take a flying leap as well and then showed ourselves where the short pier we could collectively take a long walk off of was exactly, and hoped we had a great trip while they took all of our wallets and watches.”
DENISE ESSEX: “Oh my!”
RANDOM MAN: “One thing Jacksonville DOES have, however... is a thriving fight scene though”
DENISE ESSEX: “Oh... yes. The fight scene in Jacksonville. Please, let's get to that part?”
RANDOM MAN: “Even after the cage fighting days of the late nineties went extinct after a man died during a fight and the club couldn't keep it quiet (even though they surely tried), gyms and clubs popped up everywhere where a guy looking to learn to fight could ply his trade and find a way to make it into a ring one way or another.”
DENISE ESSEX: “Well that sounds like there was a great market for combat sports here then?”
RANDOM MAN: “Well, in a city like Jacksonville... 'one way or another' could mean a lot of things... and often... it WAS many different things all at once. Lots of guys who found their way into the fighting circles were street fighters looking to make a name for themselves or thugs who were trying to build their street cred though KOs. The odd bouncer or Pit Boss from a record label would make their way through a rope or three... but mostly... it was big dumb corn fed kids with a jaw that could take it or some punk ass egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder and more than a few things to prove to himself and the rest of the world. The ring wasn't where you made your real money though... it was in the street, working for whoever had cash to burn and a reason to collect something more valuable than the paper in your pocket. Respect... the only currency that mattered to anyone living that kind of life... because respect in the streets is based on fear... and fear meant never have to prove how tough you really were and always getting what you were due... always.”
DENISE ESSEX: “So, maybe not such a thriving market for the industry after all, and just... a terrifying and violent culture of madmen and greed.”
RANDOM MAN: “It's a tough life living in a metro as large as Jacksonville with the mindset of it's people being what it is... especially if you don't have the privileged to exist above the masses scratching to survive at the bottom... and here... no one lives here who's got that kind of privileged. They commute or work remotely... Not that I blame them, you see. At that level though... struggling to find work, pay the rent, keep the lights on, and God forbid you ever need to feed yourself... everyone is looking to just get by from day to day... so if some of the money comes from outside the ring, you take it, and you don't ask shit about shit.”
DENISE ESSEX: “With an environment like it has... it's no wonder that not one... but TWO of the WGWF Superstars hail from this God forsaken hellhole... and this week, on Monday Night BRAWL, we get to see them collide in a hometown hero clash for the history books. Will these monsters of the feral streets of Duval county live up to their homeland and tear each other apart like rabid animals, or will two world renowned professionals put on a clinic of talent and skill? Tune in MONDAY NIGHT to see for yourself on WGWF Monday Night BRAWL!”
CAMERA GUY: “Can we load up now and get the fuck out of here?”
DENISE ESSEX: “Yes... right now.”

Well... Mr. King. It seems we are finally destined to meet under the WGWF Banner after all. I was curious if ever we would... and yet... here we are.
I imagine you see this as a major opportunity here, don't you, Gideon?
You have a lot of reasons to need this win.
It's more than just prolonging the contract with the WGWF, isn't it? I know you have this nagging thought in your head about your record here, and whether or not the WGWF will keep paying the paychecks if you keep shitting the bed on them. I assure you that if they keep paying JMont, Flash Rotten, and John Blade... they will surely keep paying you. Now... I know that just me saying that doesn't stop that thought from raising hell in your brain, but if nothing else... you can at least relax a little bit when you realize they drafted a literal fucking monkey the other week... and you to be fair... all before they drafted me anyway. But... that doesn't stop your fears from creeping into that little head of yours, does it?
You don't have to answer that. I already know it is, and so do you... and so do they.
The world knows that every single time you climb into that ring it could be your last. I mean, maybe they haven't admitted it to themselves, and maybe you haven't admitted it to yourself either... but deep down, you know... they know... and I know... that your focus isn't on your longevity in the ring, or the long term health of your body. It isn't on learning your opponents moves or finding just the right moment to strike during a match. Your priorities aren't on honing the skills you need to become better and you damned sure aren't focused on getting better at your mic work so your fans can be proud to cheer for you either.
No... You can't see past earning enough money every month to take care of your dear old mama to actually care enough about yourself to try to stay safe in the ring let alone plan for the longevity of your career. It's a distraction that has already cost you several wins and if you're going to move on past the curtain jerkers and never were's around here like you've been fighting to make a name for yourself... you're going to wind up hurt.
Make a mistake in the ring with someone like Kenji or Synn, and you hurt your pride and swallow a loss.
Make a mistake in the ring with a monster like me, Giddy... and it'll be more than your ego that gets bruised.
You may see this is a new horizon for you to stride over and find success behind, but there's a small flaw in this plan of yours Mr. King... it's a new horizon for me too... and where I'm headed, there's only room for one of us... and I plan on taking this elevator on Monday Night, Giddy... so your gonna have to find another path yet again, and hope your legs will still carry you to it when I finish with you on the night of my return to MY Ring on Monday Night BRAWL.
The bosses might not know what to do with me... but I know exactly what I have to do.
Unfortunately... you're in my way... and like so many others who have stood between me and my goals... this path only leads to your annihilation. See you Monday Night, Giddy. Tell your mom you love her, and this one goes out to her, OK?

“If the WGWF can't get their booking together, and soon, I am done with them, frfr. I am tired of tuning in to see the same old dry shit week in and week out!
