Public Announcement and Press Conference
February 1st, 2025
10:30am
Memphis, TN
The Mickey Memorial
(LN: Lawrence Mason)
*The Spokesman of Cash Mouse Entertainment, Lawrence Mason, approaches the podium set in the middle of the packed stadium, with the gravesite of the fallen Chairman of Mmouse Enterprises immediately behind the speaker and a section for the sports press placed in immediately in front*
LN: Thank you, fans and friends of the world of professional wrestling for coming here on such short notice. The acting head of Cash Mouse Entertainment, Mr. Lenny Mouse, asked me to reach out to the newspapers of the area a couple of days ago to announce this occasion, and you did not disappoint in packing the house.
*Lawrence’s words are met with thunderous cheers, as the press looks around with astonishment and confusion, but they remain silent in response to what Mr. Mason has just said*
LN: Here shortly we will be joined by our host for this morning, who will be visiting this site for the first time since the funeral when he arrives, but first I wanted to say a few words about Lenny, about the state of the industry, and about our fallen leader; Mickey.
*Applause and cheers follow*
LN: You see, I first met the Mouse Family in the summer of 1996. Mickey’s wrestling empire was in its early stages of being constructed and he sent his brothers out into the world to find the talent that he thought he would need to make his vision come to reality. Those were the circumstances under which I met Lenny. Lenny came to me personally – keenly aware of my education in communications – and made an appeal that I will never forget. As Lenny put it to me at the time: he said, “Lawrence, I see something in your ability to tell a story in a professional manner”.
LN: Lenny believed in me and advocated on my behalf to his brother, Mickey. Over time, his friendship made the difference as he made sure to encourage Mickey to promote me to the status I have now held for the better part of the last 20 years; communications director.
*Loud applause and chants of “YOU DESERVE IT” thunder throughout the area*
LN: Now, in the wake of the biggest shakeup in the history of this industry following Mickey’s death – who we will get to in a moment -, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new age. Not a new era, but a new age. You see, Lenny isn’t just your average promoter, he believes wholeheartedly in people and their potential, and his steadfast determination in the success of those under his employ is the recipe that I have become convinced that this company and this industry need!
*The stadium erupts in cheers*
LN: You see, the industry appears fractured, even if it has the mirage of looking stronger than ever. Lenny has told me personally that he sees it for what it really is, which is to say that he sees the industry as being in dire need of a new awakening!
*The fans in attendance applaud and egg Lawrence on*
LN: But let us not forget the ground we stand upon today.
*A hush falls over the crowd*
LN: This memorial stadium was devised by Mickey’s vision years ago, and while he had fully intended on living a full life, his greed became the death of him. Even so, Lenny’s knowledge of what his brothers are and were does not impede his respect and love for them.
*The crowd rises in agreement and support of the sentiment*
LN: Lenny has told me that one of the things he plans to address this morning is his desire to right every wrong done by his siblings and to strengthen every accomplishment. But also to pursue the enemies of the Mouse Family and the industry as a whole with relentless vigor!
*The audience is beside themselves as they rise again and shake the stadium with their approval, the press grows uncomfortable and apparently eager to escape*
LN: So, without any further delay, here is the man of this moment, the ULW Chief Commissioner and Acting Head of Cash Mouse Entertainment, Leonard Nimoy Mouse!!
*The roar of the crowd shakes the stadium as a wave of hysteria for Lenny follows his arrival onto the stage. The leader embraces Lawrence warmly just before they go separate ways with Lenny approaching the podium. After a sustained ovation for an extended period of time, Lenny manages to quiet the crowd with a motion of his hands as he proceeds to address those in attendance*
(LM: Lenny Mouse)
LM: Thank you, thank you. Friends and Family – and that’s what you are, make no mistake about it…*thunderous cheers*
LM: …I have asked you to join me today in the hopes that we can recognize that this is a moment not just for reflection on how far we’ve come, but a moment to own to realize how we’ll go! *Another roar of the crowd*
LM: My brothers, Mickey and Vinny, had many faults. However, they were men of vision. They knew what was required of them to attain greatness. Even so, they allowed the greed instilled in them by our father to pollute their minds and deviate their purpose. The industry as a whole right now stands at yet another crossroads. With one path taking us down a course of erratic behavior and chaos – as led by those who see themselves as “Elite” – and another path paved by dedication to the needs of you…the audience. Which path would you rather see us take in this, the Seventh Era? AEW’s or ULW’s?!
*Earth-shaking chants of “ULW!” follow from the friendly crowd in the old hometown of Mmouse Enterprises*
LM: ULW’s path isn’t just one of reliability, but it will soon become undeniably clear that ours will be the path of superiority! The World of Wrestling Organization has taken to calling this the “Prime Era”, well wrestling in its prime will be led by the heart of the family which has always defined this industry at its greatest as we here in Memphis today set out to sign a new contract with the fans of wrestling, a contract which pledges that we will be the embodiment of everything you desire to see, the inspiration of all that gives you joy, and – for lack of a better word – truly undisputed in our dominance!
*The crowd erupts by chanting Lenny’s name*
LM: The WOW let you all down this week, as did AEW, by not keeping their promise to negotiate a joint mega event for this coming Monday.
*Boos ring throughout the crowd*
LM:…They allowed the industry to slip into a state of disrepair over the past couple of months, even as we here in ULW tried to keep it all afloat.
*More boos*
LM: But what did they try to do to us as we attempted to save this new era?
*Seemingly caught off guard, the crowd hushes again*
LM:…They attempted to silence ULW! I had caught word that there was going to be an attempt on the stability of the heart of wrestling, and I made a desperate effort to help safeguard Cash Mouse Entertainment from this attack! Thankfully, the Head at the time, Triad Member Dibiase, heard me out and took my concerns to the Board just in time! However, I had no idea that they would be so brutal, so heinous in their plot against us!
*Everyone in attendance leans in, hanging on Lenny’s every word*
LM: In case you haven’t connected the dots yet, let me do it for you. This horrendous assault on the sanctity of our industry on the evening of Friday the 13th, December of 2024 was the act from without, a plot hatched in the offices of New York City and Stamford, and carried out by their spies!
*The crowd roars with thunderous boos and hisses*
LM: Now I see why my brothers were so ruthless in their approach. They recognized the threats from our enemies and how they would tear us asunder! Well, I pledge this to you, with the help of my enforcer – the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu – we will root out the enemy and destroy them for their crimes!
*Those in attendance are encouraged by Lenny’s enthusiasm*
LM: But, dealing with the scoundrels who’ve weaseled their way in on behalf of the so-called “Elite” will not be all that we do, because we will aspire to dominate in every aspect of this new war, and our triumph will commence as ULW returns one week from this Monday with an incredible show featuring an incredible Women’s Title match involving wrestling 3 most dominant women of the past 5 years and a showdown of the ages for the Undisputed Championship pitting Cardona against Punk!
*The excitement grows along with the decibels*
LM:…and to kick it all off on that momentous night, the vacancy in the Women’s Extreme League will be filled via an open hardcore four corner elimination match!!
*Cheers continue*
LM: So, buckle up my friends and family of this industry we all love, because the real revolution has arrived!
*The crowd remains enthused, rumbling with support, but the cadence of their joy is interrupted by the sound of a microphone being turned on and squealing as a member of the press manages to utter a few desperate words to get some answers*
Pro Wrestling Illustrated: Lenny, Lenny, are you going to take any questions today? Why did you call us here?
*Lenny turns around, having been interrupted from his moment of grandeur, sneering as he leans into the microphone*
LM: Oh yeah, I forgot. The best part of why I convene everyone here today is that I have discovered the first layer of Benny’s network of spies…and they will be dealt with…right now!
*At that moment, Jacob Fatu rushes into the scene with security guards in tow and starts assaulting the wrestling press, but the crowd shockingly does not boo and stand still, they rabidly cheer Fatu and his hoard on as they ravage the men and women with credentials and drag them away. Meanwhile, Lenny just grins ear to ear and leaves, cackling as he descends from the stage and exits through the chaos that he has created!*
