The New Ressurection of the Territories


Recommended Posts

[B]Backstory[/B] [FONT="Arial Black"]Death of Wrestling: The passing of one young wrestler after another young wrestler, caused a few members of congress to decide to take a look at what the cause of all this was. ~Vince McMahon institutes a drug testing policy for the WWE ~Vince Goes on Capital Hill, he emphasizes that he has instituted a drug testing policy, of which senator John McCain thought was laughable...McCain addressed that it wasn't McMahons fault, however it was the industry itself, because there truly is only one organization in which a wrestler could make money and to be recognized by that company one has to seriously alter their cosmetics. ~In light of all the negative press Dave Bautista, The Undertaker, The Big Show all agree to contracts in Japan ~Congress calls for a reform of the entire industry, calling for less travel and work days, stricter drug testing policies, and health benefits. The state athletic commisions are relieved of their responsiblitie regarding regulating professional wrestling and instead wrestlers now must become members of a union (similar to screen actors guild) in order to gain work permits ~More and more wrestling conventions pop up, as fans clamor for the "good ole days" Several old timers including Terry Funk, Jim Cornette talk about starting up their own regional promotions. ~Vince is named in several lawsuits and is showing that he has completely had enough after dealing with Congress and developing Wrestlers union. ~The WWE as we know it comes to a close. Vince has announced his retirement from the business..There is nothing more than independant wrestling in the United States Rebirth Of Wrestling ~Absence makes the Heart grow fonder, and fans begin to crave wrestling again ~At a wrestling legends convention many old timers continue to talk about the glory days, among them Ric Flair says, "Why don't we bring it back....I myself was plan on promoting in the Carolinas and Virginia...I see it now the ressurection of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling"...Dusty Rhodes said, "he was planning on running in Florida, so why not bring back Championship Wrestling from Florida" Jerry Lawler was going back to Memphis and the Snowball continued to roll getting bigger and bigger and bigger. ~Bill Watts along with his son Eric were reviving Mid South Wrestling...Dusty just hired Gabe Sapolsky to book Florida for him....Now Verne Gagne's son Greg was bringing back AWA in the mid west and great Lakes region...Nick Bockwinkle and Larry Zbyszko were going to help him....Word out of Conneticutt is that the McMahons weren't done, Shane, Stefanie and her husband Triple H were coming back On Deck The Wrestlers union, wanting to avoid the monopoly that the business was, sets up a draft for wrestlers[/FONT]

[FONT="Arial Black"]The Cauliflower Alley Club is an organization of veteran wrestlers....The whole idea for the wrestlers union began at their annual banquet... Les Thatcher spoke this year and he reiterated how tough this business is to break into...."It's the nature of this business that drives young men to work their day job 5 days a week, then hit the gym and on Saturday drive 8 hours across country for a $100 payoff in hopes that they gain experience, that they get noticed.....Eventually they may perhaps if their lucky make it to a stable independant organization, they get noticed by fans of the internet, but their lacking something to make that next jump...Their tired from working 40 hours a week, driving another 20 and then putting their bodies on the line in front of 300 people, they have another date the next day, but their injured and dont want to burn a bridge, so they tun to performance enhancers, they get told they have many qualites but not the right look, so they turn to performance enhancers, they get to where they need to get and the one organization in this country signs them at what they determine their value to be, but their life is already become adjusted to this lifestyle, now they get to put their bodies on the line 350 days a year ~we need to lessen the workload and schedules ~we need quality health insurance ~we need guarentees of proper rehabilitation ~a more competive market to give workers options ~we need a union to support wrestlers and only members of this union can get permits to work in union supported organizations Months after that event and speach, well after the movement had begun...The Pro Wrestlers Union has come to fruition....Headed up by the Unions representative Nick Bockwinkle wrestlers now will enjoy the benefits they've needed, The Union has called for a more competitive balance amongst Wrestling organizations.....To do this The Organizations had to accept the Pro Wrestlers Union terms that talent willbe divided amongst all its participating members: ~All organizations are capped to not begin with more than the alloted $500,000. The organizations can make money above and beyond but have to pay a luxury tax based on percentages of their profits to support "The Pro Wrestlers Union. ~All organizations will start from zero....The Territories will hold a draft to assign initial talent to their wrestling organizations. ~All Wrestling orgs. That begin with a starting budget of $200,000 or more will hold a 5 round draft for wrestlers to sign to written deals after that the organizations with $75,000 or more starting budget can start drafting with the other leagues for rounds 6-10....Any other league with budgets under $75,000 may start drafting round 11-15...After the draft those not selected become free Agents and can sign wherever. ~The draft assures that there will be a more competitive balance between wrestling organizations and not just one company monopolizing the competition in recent years.. The draft has been hyped up...So much that pay-per-view carriers new there would be audience large enough, that they could charge $19.95 for all fans to see the fate of which area wrestlers will be sent off to begin the new resurrected era of professional wrestling in the states...To think that would make me nervous enough. Verne gagne has joined his son Greg and their discussing in another corner about thier strategy...Jim Cornette is here, so is Dusty Rhodes, Jerry Lawler, Bill Watts with his son Eric and just when I didn't think things could get any more intimidating Shane & Stefanie McMahon along with Triple H come in bearing the old school WWF logo.
