Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the Fire Pit. Another excellent show to recap today and a TWF.com exclusive interview with Mr. Taylor. Lets jump right into this past show and recap some of the top stories coming out of it.

Joe Corey's search continues:

After announcing he is looking to find someone to groom under his wing, "The Show" seemed to have dialed in on Austin Pyromania, coming out to the ring after a successful victory by Pyro. After offering his services and fans clearly not wanting to see it happen, Pyromania walks out on The Show. Where does Corey go from here? Who's next on his list of potential clients?

Tag team and Women's tournaments underway:

Both tournaments got off to a good start on the latest edition of TWF tv. We saw The Empire's team of Carney and Cris Henning advance, sneaking by their opponents despite having the veteran advantage. We also saw The Young Bucks win in clear, convincing fashion. I gotta say the tag team division is shaping up to be one of the most interesting aspects of the current TWF and I can't wait for the continuation of this tournament. Also in the Women's title tournament, Monica advanced in a superb matchup. she just proved to be too much to handle for Saraya Knight.

Final four competitors for TWF title: After a long and critical 20-man battle royal, we are down to the final 4 men who will be competing for the TWF title. I must say it's gonna be a great battle. Cody Rhodes, Nails, Matt Cruz and Mil Muertes are your final four and not without controversy as Money Mike cost Jordan Rockwell a chance at the final four. The golden standard also had a strong showing making it to the final seven but were eliminated one after the other. What's next for Rockwell and Mike? Nails is the obvious favorite moving forward in this fatal four way... can't wait to see this play out.

TWF.com exclusive interview:

Austin: "First off, let me say thank you for coming in and doing an interview for the Fire Pit, Taylor Ma...

Mr. Taylor: "Let me stop you right there. Taylor Made is dead. He died a while back and was reborn into this picture perfect gentleman you see before you. My name, and I'll say it slow so you remember, is Mr. Taylor. I would urge you to remember that.

Austin: "Right. Mr. Taylor, I see you brought your group with you so let's ask you, why Gina and Sylvester?

Taylor: "This "group" of which you speak is my company. Take Ms. Carano here. You need a steady hand to keep the ship going in the right direction. She is my right hand. My... Vice President, as it were. She has taken a successful MMA career and transformed it into a multimedia platform for herself. Did you star in Fast & Furious 6? What about Deadpool? No? That was her. So while I am otherwise occupied, she will be in charge of making sure the Gold Standard brand is untarnished. Who else is more qualified than her? And Sly, here? Let's just say he is here to protect my assets against all outside threats, and he is very well compensated for it."

Austin: "So after a strong showing by you and your colleague in the battle royal for the TWF Title, what's next for you?"

Taylor: "We made our presence felt in that match. We showed we are a united front, focusing on the same goal... increasing the value of the Gold Standard brand. The TWF Title is in my future, but until then my empire will continue to flourish and the Gold Standard will become a force to behold."

Austin: "This week we saw a run-in between you and the Young Bucks, are you looking to add to your group?"

Taylor: "You know, the key to building your worth is making sure your support staff is full and fully operational. I will continue to look for people who can contribute to the ascension of our newly worth. If they can make the Gold Standard more valuable, we will use them for our plans to take over the TWF. As far as the Young Bucks are concerned, they caught Gina's eye with their impressive amount of titles around the world so she brought them to my attention. I'll tell you what, they are talented, but it's wasted in hippie hair and neon trash. Who knows, maybe they will get smart to the fact that money is more important than being someone's favorite person. Money and power is all that matters in this life."

Austin: "Can we expect any kind of reunion between Austin Pyromania and yourself? We know you two have had dealings in the past, both in and out of the ring."

Taylor: "Ha ha ha, you are a funny guy and clearly underqualified for the job you currently have. Next question."

Austin Pyromania: "Uh, okay. Last question. What can we expect to see from you, Mr. Taylor, that is different this time around in the TWF?"

Taylor: "This is my time. The Gold Standard is here. The hostile takeover.... has begun.
