NFW West Staff
*Originally written by Jamar Nicholas*
Ok doods - here's a list of staff that you need to know about, for either purposes of RPing your own stuff, matchwriting, or just general info so you don't post RP with some cat who doesn't work here. As you all know, I'm obsessed with NPC's of my leagues, and all of these people who are necessary to know have realistic history with the company. I'm not gonna tell you about Julio the mop guy because nobody cares. In any event, peep it.
NOTE: Obviously absent are Miles and Sullivan, as we're not going to focus on them much in league play, so if anybody has a question, just ask.

The NFW Principals
ANNOUNCE TEAM:
KERRY O' CONNOR: 29 years old, blonde hair, bushy eyebrows, Irish and a definate Boston Southie. Graduate in Journalism and Minor in Communications from Boston College, where he was the host and producer of BC's cable access show BEANTOWN SPORTS BREAK! for 5 years, staying on after college to pass the torch to a new group of kids who could handle the job. O'Connor made it a rule to sneak in as much wrestling information into his broadcasts, a move that would give him lots of appeal, when news on wrestling was hard to find. A huge fan of Pro Wrestling, he dreamed of being a PBP announcer all his life, but always thought that his Boston drawl would keep that from becoming a reality. After flooding Quentin Sullivan's mailbox with tapes of his show for years, when Miles and Sullivan started to plan NFW, they took a chance on the youngster. He and Lamont Hollywood represent the 'voice' of New Frontier Wrestling.
RP NOTES:
O'Connor is only used for cards, and never in promos.
LAMONT HOLLYWOOD: 47 years old, full head of Ghost white hair, salt and pepper grey mustache, looks a lot like a cross between Sam Neil in HULK and Michael PS Hayes. Dark skinned, perhaps a blend of Greek and Italian in his blood, Hollywood has always been the 'pretty heel' type of character in his many years of wrestling. In the early 80s, held World Tagteam titles on numerous occassions with his partner, 'Godfather' Paul Tonnelli, in the 'Rock and Roll Gangsters' team. After that team split up, Hollywood went on to a successful singles career, and then became the most notorius heel manager to ever carry a license, and was dubbed 'Manager to the Stars' in respect to all of the workers he successfully managed to world championships.
Lamont Hollywood has been an employee and Color Broadcast Journalist for Avery Everette's Ultimate Wrestling Alliance, and even lasted through Everettes' buyout of UWA by a young Quentin Sullivan. Hollywood was a sure-hire when NFW was dreamed up, as Lamont has won several 'Announcer of the Year' awards on *P and is respected behind the scenes as a Road Agent and talent coordinator. Most promos and clip packages seen on NFW TV are produced by Hollywood, and is always good for a 'Back in MY day' story to share with the boys. Seen at some times to be full of himself, and a bit of a heat machine, Hollywood usually overtalks on camera because nobody else will do it, and time needs to be filled.
RP NOTES:
Hollywood is a staunch believer in Heels, and will always root for them - unless he really thinks they're not worth his rub. Lamont Hollywood is only used for cards, and never in promos. Do not insinuate him being 'behind the scenes' in your promos, as that's a breaking of kayfabe in his eyes.
RP PERSONALITIES (Or, "Doods You Can Use")
'ON THE SPOT' REPORTERS:
FIONA LOVE: 26, 'Nerdy-Hot' Caucasian, with an 'art school girl' vibe to her, Mostly resembling the old vibe of MTV VJ Kennedy then a pseudo-cool VJ of today: You could imagine her having more fun blowing a weekend playing Everquest or Dungeons and Dragons, then hitting the clubs. Frizzy hair, Horn-Rimmed or Cat glasses, teeny tiny dot of a nose ring, basic trendy fahion sense, like Ringer tees, Old school Adidas and wristbands, etc.
DISPOSITION: Neutral, she's just a tool to hold the mic for the wrestlers. Keeps her opinions to herself.
'NOBODY GIVES A ##### EXCEPT JN' NOTES: Fiona Love started out as an intern for Avery Everettes' UWA when she was still a young ring rat in Philadelphia, one of those girls that didn't wanna sleep with the workers - but was just enamored with the lifestyle, hanging around the arena till they shut the lights off, getting cheesy pics taken of her with everybody from the world champion to the guy who delivered the fresh towels. Everette finally hired her on to sew up costumes, and she wound up accelerating quickly through the ranks, and winning a pilot spot on the fledgling UWA LAUNCHPAD show with Smitty Reese, after Sullivan took over. That didn't go over so well, as the chemistry and feel didn't work right, and they cancelled the show after one taping. Love continued to be a model employee, and got the call from Sullivan and Miles for a Line Producer when they were hiring for NFW. Love has just gotten an on-camera promotion, and is now a mic jockey on camera, and Senior Production Manager behind.
'Just' MARK: 30, Caucasian failed indy wrestler archetype, who decided to become a reporter when he blew out his ACL in Wrestling School, and lost his nerve to get back in the ring after rehab. Mostly resembling the oldest son from 'Seventh Heaven', MARK always is seen in 'cool cat' attire: Shiny button down shirt with several buttons open, trendy haircut of the week; usually a Mod cut or some sort of sweeepy bang 'do, Black slacks and expensive preppy shoes. MARK is the troublestarter in the locker room, and tries to involve himself into storylines by dropping rumors or making up lies to instigate fights. Mostly he just gets ignored by everyone when he tries this. He's learned volumes about the business by shadowing Lamont Hollywood at all times off-camera.
DISPOSITION: Heel-lover, as he'll try to chum up to any Heel he interviews, by biting Hollywoods lines, such as 'I'm standing here with my CLOSE, PERSONAL FRIENDS, so and so' and other nonsene. He's extremely transparent, and more than anything told to shut the hell up by whoevers being interviewed.
'NOBODY GIVES A ##### EXCEPT JN' NOTES: MARK started his reporting duties in the IWC, and after that folded, years later was brought into NFW by Quentin Sullivan, who dug his work there. Mark hasn't really moved in position, because he's generally a part-timer at this, as he runs an internet tape-trading website called 'IMMARKINGOUT.COM' where he specializes in NFW shoot tapes and classic material. Sullivan doesn't really care about the site, as he feels all press is good press.
REFEREES:
Senior Official GREG HERPIN: Short, bald - senior ref. he doesn't take any crap.
Referee SCOTT SPERANZA: Tall, wears wristbands, oversells activity in the ring, like when someone gets slammed, he jumps 10 feet in the air to sell the impact.
Referee ROLAND PRIEST: Tall lightskinned guy that looks like Roland Gift from Fine Young Cannibals. Slow counter, and is a stickler for detail.
Referee BRUCE PHILLIPS: Almost reffed every UWA title match at one time. Medium build, blond helmet hair - runs around alot in the ring. Has the nickname 'Powerslide' Phillips in the back because of his tendency for jumping over people to count pin attempts.
Referee CHRIS FUSCO: Short, stocky, wears sports glasses or contacts on occassion. Overracts with ref counts and plays to the crowd for effect, hamming up two counts, and anything that requires some sort of visual signal (Like counting someone out)
