I'm twenty-one years old, and I live in Delaware. And I am on the booking team, for the brand spanking new, Pro Wrestling Reborn, a wrestling promotion opened after the so-called "Fall" of wrestling. If you've been living under a rock, here's what PWInsider has to say about The Fall. [QUOTE]...March 2001... At the height of their popularity, with their former enemy WCW vanquished and purchased, the WWF is riding high. It is undoubtably the most powerful promotion in the history of professional wrestling. But questions are being asked about the WCW sale. The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission begins a month-long investigation. ...April 2001... The wrestling world is in shock. The World Wrestling Federation is hit with a three-hundred million dollar fine, after it was revealed that Vince McMahon and AOL-Time Warner executive Jamie Kellner colluded to intentionally lower the purchase price of WCW. Stockholders and investors deserted the WWF, leaving the McMahon family with a humbled empire almost overnight. Disgraced, distraught and heartbroken, with a roster of wrestlers angry at the McMahon's mismanagement, the WWF was effectively shut down. Live events were cancelled, and television contracts were torn up. The McMahons go into isolation. In the months that follow, promotions across the United States shut down left, right and centre. Without the support of the WWF, OVW, HWA and MCW close shop. After the loss of millions of casual fans, promotions such as JAPW, APW and UPW can't support themselves. Even promotions with a more hardcore following, such as XPW and CZW close down. Some owners say they'll be back when the industry bounces back. Others leave for good. It is now October 2001. The effects of The Fall are still ongoing, but there is cause for optimism. The National Wrestling Alliance, once facing extinction, has re-amalgamated under the leadership of Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. WWF loyalists Steve Austin, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels join the returned Shane McMahon to form Fusion Pro Wrestling. And on the west coast, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan use their connections to form the American Wrestling Federation. This new 'Big Three' is joined by independent federations across the country, and two exciting new touring promotions. In Canada, a rejuvenated Stampede takes the country by storm. The wrestling industry has definitely bounced back from its perilous lows, but for how long? Can you guide your promotion through the wreckage of The Fall? Or will the professional wrestling industry collapse for good? [/QUOTE] Yeah. Bad stuff for the entire industry. Everything went to hell, including the promotion I was working for as a "gofer" after school, ECWA. All the employees left, leaving the owner, Jim Kettner, and I to run the show as the world fell apart around us. And it was with heavy hearts that we closed the doors, for what we thought was the last time. But two men saved the day. These men were Jerry Lynn and Mike Bucci, better known as Nova. They, in exchange for Lifetime contacts and stakes in the company, gave the ECWA the money to reopen. And reopen we did, with very little competition out there to compete with. Jim, Jerry, Mike and I got the best independant talent we could, along with some amazing veterans who are waiting for things to shake out. So here we go. The Fall just happened. The Future awaits.

Nevermore Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 After your kind comments earlier, I thought i'd be the first to critique your new venture. I'm not aware of this mod but it looks intriguing. Very nice roster, I might add :p. It's a good read, man. You know your subject well, clearly, as the promos seem very authentic. My only advice would be to give a little bit of a match description to make it seem more like a wrestling show and less like a series of booking ideas/plot points. I think my diary suffered from the exact same thing in the beginning. So, just experiment and find what suits. Great job on the first show, though ;). I'll keep an eye on this.
