Just when everybody thought it was over, the sparkling event has returned.
The Impact Booking Industry announced the first ever Slammy Awards in March of 2008 and a month later, the ground-breaking event finally took place in Toronto Canada.
The second edition of the outstanding “Grand Slammys” took place in May 2008 as the millions of the IWF Booking fans watched the show on global television. Another month later, we were going to have the third installment of the Slammy Awards. But things had changed as the Awards expanded; the company “Grand Slammy Awards LLC” was established, to organize around 5 events a month including an Awards Ceremony. The Company was shortly renamed to “S.E. INC” which meant Slammy Events International Company; it wasn’t a limited licensed company any longer, as the company was upgraded to being an international organization. The Slammy Events were being hyped rapidly; the company was continuously being promoted through Television and Newspapers worldwide.
But there were major problems that the company faced, the company had spend a lot in their marketing campaigns and advertisements; which meant that there was little to no financial support for their upcoming events.
“Slammin’ the Western Bay” was the very first event held by the newly opened organization in the heart of Miami Florida, it was also the very first non-awards related program presented by the directors and bookers of Impact Booking and S.E. INC.
At the end of the day, the event was one huge financial failure for S.E. INC. The five Bookers from Impact Booking Industry were waiting for their pending money. The Bookers were promised to be handed $ 20,000+ after the event had concluded. Unfortunately the company didn’t even have half of that money in their bank accounts.
Thomas Coven, Edward Lincoln and Russell Jefferson; these three were in control of the company at that atrocious time. Suddenly, yet knowingly the financial divisions of the company collapsed as it went totally bankrupt. Thomas Coven left his job as Managing Director of S.E. and Senior Executive/ Financial Director Russell Jefferson threw out his seat as well. In simple yet shocking words, the company had been shut down, forever!
Three Months later, Russell Jefferson received a call from New York City at 3:00 AM in the night, speaking was Professor Scott Worthington who was said to be a remarkable entrepreneur in the stock market of New York as well as a very famous university lecturer.
Professor Worthington first introduced himself with some puzzling words,
Russell had no idea why this man had called him, he recalled the Television Interviews of Worthington who really was one big man in NYC…. but what did he exactly had to do with Russell at 3:00 AM in the morning?
Russell couldn’t believe it.
The conversation ended around 2 hours later and it was decided, the Slammy Events Organization would be re-constructed with the same foundation as before, five events including an awards Ceremony for Impact Booking Industry which would be the “Mega” event of the month. Russell Jefferson and Professor Scott Worthington were on their way to success…………

Professor Worthington first introduced himself with some puzzling words,
“You don’t know me Jefferson, but I’ve got my eyes locked on you all the time. I’m that famous entrepreneur in the stock market of New York, a university lecturer and so on…… you must have heard about all of this on Television, right?”
Russell had no idea why this man had called him, he recalled the Television Interviews of Worthington who really was one big man in NYC…. but what did he exactly had to do with Russell at 3:00 AM in the morning?
“I do recognize you Mr. Worthington, but why call me at this hour?” asked Russell.
“You run Wrestling Organizations… those blood-baths and stuff inside the ring, right?” asked Worthington
“Well, that’s true Worthington..….” answered Russell.
“Just sent $ 60,000 to your bank account, establish the same company through my name” ordered Worthington.
Russell couldn’t believe it.
“If it’s true… then…. thanks a LOT Mr. Worthington but why??” asked a confused Russell.
“I was monitoring the movements of your company throughout the month of May; I was pretty much impressed with your marketing campaigns and was getting ready to buy the organization at a fair deal to run the business through my shoulders.
Yes, the financial divisions did collapse but there is always a solution to such problems. Bank loans weren’t affordable and your partners had quit, since I was looking to buy the company at a fair deal around three months ago, I have finally decided to reconstruct this company with someone more knowledgeable of the wrestling business. We’re going to run this by ourselves; I’m going to offer reasonable deals for a lasting partnership for S.E. INC.
