[CENTER][COLOR="Red"]George Steinbrenner Announces Wrestling Promotion Monday, Week 1, May, 2007[/COLOR][/CENTER] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/TEWPurposes/Empire%20Pro%20Wrestling/ESPNNews.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/TEWPurposes/Empire%20Pro%20Wrestling/SteveBunin.jpg[/IMG] [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Looks like an upset could be in making for the Golden State Warriors. But to switch gears, I welcome in a very special guest, owner of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner. [IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/TEWPurposes/Empire%20Pro%20Wrestling/GeorgeSteinbrenner.jpg[/IMG] [I]George Steinbrenner is now shown on camera, sitting laid-back in his seat. Steinbrenner looks like he may have something up his sleeve, but not quite sure what it is.[/I] [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Welcome, Mr. Steinbrenner. Well I know it has been hard times in the Big Apple for you and the rest of the Yankees organization, but are the rumors true about the firing that may be in store for Yankees' manager, Joe Torre? [U][B]George Steinbrenne[/B]r[/U] Well Steve, I like to keep the Yankees organization at the best possible shape. Some may say that I would be pulling the trigger too quickly on someone who has lead the Yankees to success. The Yankees can't be seen as a team that has the talent but doesn't win. For the time being Joe Torre will stay the manager of the Yankees. [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Now to get on a better subject, how about A-Rod? He has had one of the greatest Aprils in the history of Major League Baseball. What are your thoughts? [U][B]George Steinbrenner[/B][/U] Alex has been great for us and he really shows why the Rangers pay so much money for him... A-Rod was loosing his relationship with the Yankee fans but he has came back this year and made it obvious he belongs to be a part of the greatest baseball team ever. [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Well word has been going around that you are venturing into a new territory. Not that of sports, but that of sports-entertainment. Now George, can you tell us about this and your decision to do it? [U][B]George Steinbrenner[/B][/U] Well it all came to me when I was seeing all the stuff in the news about Donald Trump and Vince McMahon. I thought to myself, what a better way to make money than start a wrestling promotion. That is why I have now started Empire Pro Wrestling. It showcases some of the most entertaining talent that is possible of being on television. Our show, EPW High Voltage, airs on Wednesday at 8:00PM on the YES Network. [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Well thanks for dropping by, George, it is always a pleasure having you on the show. [U][B]George Steinbrenner[/B][/U] Thank you, Steve. [U][B]Steve Bunin[/B][/U] Well there you heard it guys. George Steinbrenner is now the owner of a professional wrestling promotion. Next, we will see what happens when Bob Knight plays tennis with the pro, Roger Federer. [/QUOTE][/CENTER]

[CENTER]Breaking News About George Steinbrenner's Promotion Monday, Week 1, May, 2007[/CENTER] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/TEWPurposes/Empire%20Pro%20Wrestling/GerweckWebsite.png[/IMG][/CENTER] [U]Empire Pro Wrestling News[/U] Rumors are true and Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner is opening a wrestling promotion. The weird thing is, is that he is going straight to TV with High Voltage that will run on the YES Network, home of Yankees baseball. Word is that the promotion will feature some well known talent. Steinbrenner's tactics to announce this on a sports program is odd, but it may have been his chance to mark Empire Pro Wrestling, the name of the promotion, as a legitimate sports product. We will have more as the news develops.[/QUOTE] [COLOR="Blue"][CENTER]Prologue to Empire Pro Wrestling[/CENTER][/COLOR][QUOTE]George Steinbrenner...a wrestling promotion...what the hell? It sounds pretty weird at first but just think about it. The McMahon family started their success in professional athletics through boxing. Ted Turner has owned both a baseball team and a wrestling promotion. Doesn't seem that weird now does it? Yeah sure, Steinbrenner doesn't come off as a wrestling type man, but does Ted Turner? Wrestling is a million dollar industry, why not allow one of the most famed pro-sports franchise owners to have a cut of that? That is why George Steinbrenner has opened Empire Pro Wrestling. The roster is stacked, the path is clear, but there are two other promotions that stand in it's way from the top. WWE and TNA are the clear-cut top promotions of the world, but they are missing something EPW has. That thing is legitimacy, something all of pro-wrestling has been missing for over two decades. Wrestling for a whole is about to change but is it for the better?[/QUOTE] [CENTER][COLOR="Blue"]Empire Pro Wrestling Opens Website, Reveals Roster and Information Monday, Week 1, May,

[Chuck]

I am interested in this... I like how you have repackaged a lot of wrestlers into different characters to almost fit that ESPN Mold... Will be watching...

[Dubya]

[IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/TEWPurposes/Empire%20Pro%20Wrestling/DaisukeInoue.jpg[/IMG] That alone got my viewership until at least your first show. :D

[BIGJOSH]

You got yourself a reader!

[Chriswok]

I just marked out for a ref... oh dear.... YAY REMSBURG!!!!!!

[Ping von Erich]

Good stuff so far. But be sure to add some background to why some guys came back to the sport (Lesnar, Jericho, Sapp, etc.) it always feels forced when guys show back up ready to wrestle with no real backstory as to why. As was mentioned above, I love the repackaged gimmicks, very very original.. most just have them go by their real name or rehash an old gimmick. Awesome start, can't wait to read more.

[Jasx12]

Liger in a beantown cap is the best.

[nimo34]

Thanks a lot for the feedback so soon in this diary without much build-up. I should have my first show up by tonight but I can't guarantee it. Hope you guys enjoy.

EPW High Voltage will be coming to you live from the Hammerstein Ballroom, which has now become the home of EPW High Voltage. The stage is set and the tickets have been sold. EPW is now going to imprint itself into the history of pro-wrestling. Two matches have been announced beforehand for EPW High Voltage. The first match will be Aston "Test Drive" Martin taking on Mark Magnus. These two men are two of the best wrestlers EPW has to offer. Will Mark Magnus start his EPW career off great or will Aston Martin and his manager Joel Gertner going to start off his career with a bang. A great match has been guaranteed for this week's episode of EPW High Voltage. The match will be the main event and it will be pitting Chris Jericho up against the Japanese blue-chipper, Daisuke Inoue. Daisuke Inoue, being a Red Sox fan, will be getting a bit of a harsh reaction from a rabid Yankees fan base. Chris Jericho is making his long-awaited return to pro-wrestling. This much and more is coming to you from the Hammerstein Ballroom. So be sure to check out EPW High Voltage at 8PM ET on the YES Network. Pre-Announced Matches: Aston Martin vs. Mark Magnus Daisuke Inoue vs. Chris Jericho[/QUOTE]

[SHaynes23]

I'm gonna have to go with Test Drive in the first match. And as much as I want to see Daisuke come out with a win, it won't happen, so I'm taking Jericho in that one.
