Editorial by Justin Credible

 Date: 2/14/16      Location: Hilo-Big Kahuna Arena      Event: SP-ICON Media Scrum

SP-ICON OFFICIAL: Hello everyone, thanks for coming on such a short notice and such a lovely (no pun intended) holiday. We have a very special announcement. We’ve promoted writer, Justin Credible to help run the company, assist with daily operations: Match Making, Recruitment, Renegotiations, etc.… So without further ado, I present to you, Justin Credible!

*10 Minute Applause*

Justin Credible: Wow, thanks guys. First things first, we’ll keep this on the short I know we have wives, husbands, girl and boyfriends waiting, I know this is a major announcement and you have some questions… So I’ll give the floor to you, just raise your hand and the mic will be passed to you.

Media: You used to be the preview writer, what qualifies you to help with daily operations?

JC: Fair question. I’m still going to be doing the write-ups that hasn’t changed. I also used to run a fight org. in Montreal named UEC a few years ago before I had to take some personal time off, but I assure you I’m back now and ready to help SP-Icon achieve the same success we did.

Media: What prompted the promotion?

JC: I reached out to Steel Penn himself and in our meeting I voiced some concerns about events being booked on the same day, without proper matches being lined up and all of the expiring contracts not being addressed, and he agreed with me that the best course of action would be for me to come aboard in a bigger role.

Media: Have you spoken with CEO Mickey Hart, and what are his thoughts?

JC: I have not yet, but I’m sure he’ll be on board with it. Listen running an entire organization can be very stressful and overwhelming at times, I’m here in a helping capacity, that’s all. Mickey and I will sit down and talk and get our roles defined. For now I’m handling contract renegotiating and finding fighters to sign to our more shallow divisions.

Media: There have been reports that some managers do not like Mickey Hart, and he has a reputation of being a little hostile, does that worry you?

JC: Not at all….. If he’s hostile he’s hostile, we’ll just have our meeting in a cage. *Media laughs* But seriously all of the managers who prefer not to deal with Mickey can deal with me directly, like I said I’m here to build bridges, not burn them. I’m going to personally reach out to any managers and fighters who have a bad taste in their mouth to see what I can do to rectify the situation.

Media: What is your next move to improve this org. as a whole?

JC: Well first it’ll be to get some damn event posters up, and start our smack talk forums back up, get these fighters talking, and I’ll be making my presence known on social media (Buzz) quite often to garner some interest in SP-ICON.

*We’ll take 2 more questions then we’re done, I have a hot date*

Media: Are you worried about ruffling any feathers with this new promotion?

JC: I’ll stick with the bird metaphors as well by saying, you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. I’m sure the transition will be a little tough but give it some time and let the people watch SP-ICON return to its glory days.

Media: What is your message to the fighters/managers and what is your official position?

JC: Well we haven’t discussed position titles yet, but my message to the fighters/manages is as follows:

I know there has been some animosity built up and some things were said, but allow me to right some of those wrongs and get the ball rolling in the right direction. I have complete faith that between Steel Penn, Mickey Hart, and I we have an amazing staff that is capable of taking this organization to the top. We’ll be renegotiating with our expiring contract fighters, so if you feel the offer I’ve sent isn’t right, just throw me a counter offer and we’ll go from there. Any questions, concerns, or comments don’t hesitate to message me. Thanks for your time guys, enjoy the day, and get some booty! Justin Credible, OUT!
