Interview:
Jim Peterson

Peterson stomps out to the ring and grabs a mic.  “God dammit.  Here I sit in the SFWF, powerless to do anything while Eric Swanson campaigns against me for the cause of his damned lackey Jason Hofer.  And if I do, by some far off chance, win this election, then I will be fired.  Ladies and gentlemen, let me explain to you the circumstances.  There are only three people in this league who have a contract barring them from being fired.  I, unfortunately, overlooked this fact when in restarted the league.  Now, the SFWF needs to make another three hundred thousand dollars worth of merchandise profit to end the month in the positive numbers.  This is impossible, so the roster election for the new SFWF commissioner will be today.  Our own Terry Taylor will count the votes and will report back to us at the end of the night.  Voting starts at the top of the second hour.  But enough of the technicalities.  This goes out to Eric fucking Swanson.  Eric, if you think you can stop me from having any say in the company that I brought back from the dead, then you have another thing coming.  Every night, I will haunt you.  Every night, I will make sure you life is a living hell.  Don’t think I am afraid of being fired, I already was once last year around this time.  Don’t think that I care if I get title shots, as my sole purpose now is to make sure you suffer, to make sure you wish you never would have taken the spot at president.  But more importantly, my goal is to drive you so crazy that you have no choice but to quit this company and give the power back to the wrestlers themselves.”  With this, the crowd erupts and stands up.  Eric Swanson walks out and grabs a mic, amidst a chorus of boos.  “Well, Jim, I think we have all heard enough.  So tonight, you will take on “Mr. Russell” for that very belt, the U.S. Heavyweight title.”  “That’s just fine, Eric.  I just want you to remember.  Even though I can’t pick up that commissioner title, I sure as hell can sway the masses to vote against you.  It’s going to be a hell of a commissioner race if no one votes, eh?”  Peterson throws the mic on the floor and stomps off.
 

Tony Asp vs. Cody Schlenker

Asp starts out with a flurry of punches, sending Schlenker to the ropes.  Schlenker ducks a clothesline and sends Asp to the outside.  Asp stands up and climbs back in the ring, where Schlenker is waiting.  Schlenker picks Asp up and tosses him to the corner.  Asp hits hard and slumps down.  Looking around, Schlenker decides to go for a bronco buster, but Asp sticks a foot up and the move is blocked.  Schlenker hits hard, and Asp gets to his knees.  Asp picks Schlenker up, spins him around, and executes a belly to back suplex.  Schlenker lands on his neck and rolls out of the ring.  Asp climbs the turnbuckle and launches himself off, landing squarely on Schlenker.  Asp picks Schlenker up, sets him up on the table, and drops down with a piledriver, breaking the broadcast table.  Asp gets up, throws Schlenker back in the ring, and goes for the pin.  Schlenker kicks out.  Asp picks Schlenker up, grabs him… DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DRIVER!!!  Asp goes for the pin… and gets it!!!  This brings Dave Miller to the ring.  Miller slides under the bottom rope and the two begin to brawl to the back.  As they are headed back, Jason Hofer casually walks out to the ring.  Hofer steps in and begins kicking Schlenker while he is down.  Finally, Hofer tires of it and walks off.

Winner:  Tony Asp

Meanwhile, Jason Hofer is talking to the other members of Sheetar in the back.  Hofer tells them to get people to vote for him.  Hofer then tells that if anyone doesn’t want to vote for him, then at least make them realize that voting for Peterson is a bad idea.  The other members nod and walk off in pairs, with Hofer and Swanson walking to their locker room.

Interview:
Eric Swanson, Jim Peterson, Corey Vilhauer, and Terry Taylor.

Every SFWF wrestler walks to the entrance way.  IN the ring, Terry Taylor holds a box containing all of the votes.  In his hand is a slip of paper announcing the winners.  Eric Swanson walks up to the ring and grabs a mic.  “Ladies and gentlemen.  You are all here to witness the appointing of a new SFWF commissioner.  As you all may know, this commissioner will have complete creative control over booking and television matches.  This commissioner will not answer to me, nor will they answer to anyone but themselves.  This commissioner will be the person to talk to concerning matches and titles.  I will still be president.  Make no mistake about it, while I will have no say in actual matches, I will still have the power to fire anyone in this damned building… aside from the three I have been made aware of that have a no-fire clause in their contracts… of which I am one.  Jason?  Who are the other two?”  Jason Hofer walks up to a chorus of boos.  “I believe the other two are Terry Taylor and Corey Vilhauer.”  Swanson seems shocked to hear Vilhauer’s name.  “Well… uh.  Right.  AT this point in time, we will announce the winner and the new SFWF Commissioner.”  Swanson puts the mic down as Jim Peterson and Corey Vilhauer get in the ring.  Swanson blocks Vilhauer from the ring.  Terry Taylor takes the mic.  “I am here to announce the final votes for the SFWF Commissioner.  Nominee number one, with 6 votes, is Jason Hofer.”  With this, hearing he only had six votes, Hofer looks around nervously, while Eric Swanson begins to sweat.  “Nominee number two, with 6 votes, is James Peterson.”  The crowd cheers as Peterson looks around.  Hofer looks to Swanson, and Swanson grabs a mic.  “Terry, thank you.  In the event of a tie, I will be the person who decides, as it clearly states in the SFWF Constitution.  Now, after a long and lengthy thought, I have decided to appoint… “ “Hey, Eric, I’m not done.”  Terry takes the mic from Swanson.  “And tonight’s final nominee, with 15 votes… ladies and gentlemen, the new SFWF Commissioner… COREY VILHAUER!!”  The crowd erupts as Vilhauer enters the ring.  Peterson turns to Eric Swanson and silently flips him off.  Peterson then joins Vilhauer in the corner.  Eric Swanson looks around and Jason Hofer yells at Swanson.  Swanson knocks Hofer out of the ring and turns to charge Vilhauer.  Vilhauer turns just in time to see Swanson spear him.  Swanson gets up, turns around, and gets kicked in the gut by Peterson… ‘I FUCK YOU POWERBOMB!!!’    Peterson picks Vilhauer up and both walk to the back as balloons and confetti fall from the ceiling.
