After negotiations started last night and continued throughout the day, news broke around approximately 8:17pm CST that Frank Washington and The Hybrid Initiative agreed to terms on a contract. Alex Smith, a former commentator and occasional manager has served as Frank Washington's agent throughout the negotiating process and is also expected to appear in The Hybrid Initiative as well in an onscreen role managing Washington. A press conference was scheduled shortly after the news broke; this is what Frank Washington had to say.
"It's feels good to belong in a company where you feel wanted. Ever since walking into the building Mr. Gray has been a class act and managed to negotiate with good faith throughout the process. It is a privilege to be on the ground floor of something new as the next chapter of professional wrestling is waiting to be written. I expect the competition to be fierce down here and it'll be a great challenge to adapt my style in the melting pot of this sport; because that's exactly what it is. You got American style, catch as catch can, puro, lucha, some guys I'm sure will come in with boxing and Drew (Stevenson) already brings BJJ to the table. I'm here to work as hard as everyone else in a company where hard work will not be overlooked and I'm sure as hell not here to play politics like some people in the South like to do. Forget Revolutionary Wrestling, this right here is where the Revolution truly begins."
It is not known at this time if this deal will make Frank Washington exclusive to The Hybrid Initiative or not. According to our sources he was signed prior to this contract but it was a non-exclusive deal.
