February End of the Month Review
--Surprisingly, the Wendell Cooley/Adrian Street storyline was the second hottest in the company in February, right behind Lawler/Idol. Cooley has been a nice surprise. IRL, he had most of his success in the southern promotions, CWA and CCW.

--As long as Steve Williams' attitude can be held in check in the locker room, the 22-year old has much promise and could help carry a promotion.

--GCW’s raid on the smaller promotions continue. We lost Austin Idol, Dutch Mantell, Lanny Poffo, and Norman Frederick Charles III in February. Idol and Mantell, along with managers Jimmy Hart and Jim Cornette, were set to combine forces to try to take down Lawler, Williams, and JYD, with some help from the new signees.

--Finances continue to go up with the increasing rise of the economy and the wrestling industry. CWA stands at $527,460, an increase of $218,436 from the beginning of the month. I am stocking up on cash now to prepare to buy out any smaller promotions that are struggling financially. C-State continues to say they are not in bad enough shape financially to be taken over. They are currently $384,000 in debt.

--We maintain our place as the 14th richest company in the world and 7th richest in America.

Best match of the month
--Steve Williams and Dutch Mantell fought to a no contest (B, 82) at the last Monday night show in Hot Springs, AR.

Best card of the month
--Three shows tied at (B, 82), most recently this past Saturday’s TV show.

In the regional battles, CWA was
--first out of 8 in the Great Lakes;

--first out of 10 in the Mid-Atlantic;

--first out of 9 in the Mid-South;

--first out of 11 in the Midwest;

--first out of 10 in the Southwest;

--first out of 6 in Tri-State.

As a result, our momentum has increased from 92.8 to 100. Our company prestige made a big jump from 44 to 57.
