Its June 23rd 2007, 1 week after TNA 5 year Anniversary. Jeff Jarrett wife Jill has just pasted away and has taken a back step. With a creative team member short, TNA scan the world for a head booker.
Along comes Oliver Ngo, a struggling writer / actor for low-budget action films. He has been an old friend of Vince Russo and has worked in the past on a Martial Arts Flick with Vince, which Vince had been really impressed by Oliver's choreography during fight scenes. He pushed that Dixie Carter must give this young writer a chance. After days of considering her options, and the wrestling world was really short of fresh writers / bookers she thought she'd give him a shot.
The terms of his contract was it was verbal and he will be under a 6month trial. No new wrestlers could be signed or additional staff without her say so. Basically everything would have to run through Dixie until she has gained full trust in Oliver.
Also the targets given were:
- Gain 2hour time slot on Spike Tv (or any other mens network)
- Increase Ratings (constant 1.3 after 6months is acceptable)
- Gain another Tv show (1hour late night prefered)
- Make Bound For Glory a gobal event
- Increase Roster with more come grown stars
- Push current stars
