APEX Wrestling: Billy Corgan drops a bombshell!

AnarChy · December 5, 2016

Long time lurker, finally got the inspiration to do a dynasty.

Obviously this will be using Idolized's APEX logo which is absolutely amazing. I've been wanting to do this for like a month but couldn't think of a good name or logo then saw this and man it's perfect.

I'm also going to be using joemurphy's Modern Pic Pack, so thanks so much for this addition to the community.

Now to the fun...

BREAKING NEWS: 21ST CENTURY FOX ENTERS WRESTLING BUSINESS, BILLY CORGAN TO LEAD NEW COMPANY
Sunday Week 1, December 2016
By: Dave Meltzer

In an absolute bombshell announcement just released minutes ago, one of the world's largest media corporations announced its entrance into the professional wrestling business. 21st Century Fox will be opening a wrestling promotion under its programming and entertainment arm, and Billy Corgan will be brought on as an Executive Vice President to lead the new company, entitled APEX Wrestling.

The relatively short press release left a lot up for speculation, but did say that 21st Century Fox intends to operate APEX Wrestling under a full-time touring schedule with a weekly television show on one of its networks. The release also said Corgan, and Fox Television Group CEO Dana Walden will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning in Los Angeles to provide more details, including a timetable on the promotion's debut.

This move comes just weeks after Corgan's dramatic departure from TNA Wrestling, and just 3 days after Corgan and Anthem Sports and Entertainment announced it would be settling a lawsuit that Corgan filed against the company.

A move of this magnitude however, assumes that Fox is provoking direct competition not only with TNA, but more importantly that it looks to eventually become WWE's first direct competitor in nearly 2 decades.

We'll keep you updated with the latest as it comes.

KURT ANGLE SIGNS MULTI-YEAR DEAL WITH WWE
Sunday Week 1, December 2016
By: Dave Meltzer

Well folks, if you haven't caught your breath yet, then get ready. Just hours after the news of APEX Wrestling, WWE announces that it has signed Kurt Angle to a multi-year contract to return to the company.

No official word yet on a debut or role for Kurt, but I've been told he's been signed on a Brock Lesnar-type scheduling agreement that's obviously going to be a decent amount less than what Brock is making.

I'm also hearing Kurt likely won't be debuting before TLC, but that could obviously change. No one I've talked to really has a clue what the plan is yet for Kurt. In fact one source says they think Triple H may have made this call directly in reaction to Fox and Billy Corgan's APEX Wrestling announcement.

But, either way, here is the quick version of what APEX Wrestling head Billy Corgan and Fox Broadcasting CEO Dana Walden talked about:</div> Corgan when asked about the timing of the announcement being so close to his departure from TNA: "This is the final time I will speak about that situation going forward. I've had a close relationship with a number of executives at Fox for years, and I first began talking with them about their interest in either buying or starting a wrestling company around the same time that I started working for TNA. As time went on, the wrestling business interested them more and more, but never enough to purchase a company in TNA's situation even though that was my mission. So, we agreed to pick up the talks later as I worked on helping grow TNA. Things fell apart as we all know, and there's a lot of stuff I can't talk about legally, but the day that I left TNA I got on the phone with Fox and we worked around the clock to make this thing happen as quickly as possible." Fox CEO Dana Walden on the plans for the company: "Many media companies, some of which being our direct competitors, have had great success owning and operating touring entertainment companies. We see APEX Wrestling as one of a number of great opportunities for us to get into the live, touring entertainment business. It's just icing on the cake that we can also televise the product and bring new viewers to our networks. We plan on using the full strength of FOX's financial power to make our new investment successful." The company's programming and timing: Walden said "APEX on FX" will premier Tuesday, Week 3 of this month at 10pm, and that show will be live from the Fresno Convention Center. The show will continue in that timeslot moving forward and air on FX in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, and they plan to add the show on to other international FOX networks in the near future. The company also plans to have live 3-hour specials on FX's sister channel, FXX, which as a smaller channel allows more flexibility for longer shows. There's no plan for Pay Per Views at this time, but down the line they'd love to see APEX Wrestling in some way on the main FOX network. On any talent signings thus far: Corgan said they have been working almost 24 hours a day on dozens of signings, but aren't announcing any of them today. Some of those announcements will be made online in the coming days, but some of the talent are under confidentiality agreements, and won't be revealed until they debut on TV. He said you'll just have to "watch and see." On any executives, creative members or other non-wrestlers signed: Corgan said he was proud to announce that the Creative Team for APEX Wrestling would consist of himself, former Smackdown & TNA head writer Dave Lagana, Raven, and Al Snow. http://imgur.com/0IABApa.jpghttp://imgur.com/Ggid2Jx.jpghttp://imgur.com/fPXKfiI.jpghttp://imgur.com/8zcvWyF.jpg Ron Simmons, Kip Sopp also known as Billy Gunn, and Steve Lombardi have been brought in as Road Agents. http://imgur.com/8589pc8.jpghttp://imgur.com/7iaiUG0.jpghttp://imgur.com/8zrPqZX.jpg Kevin Nash has also begun working extensively on the project recently. http://imgur.com/jB0Zgaq.jpg The broadcast team for all events will be former WWE announcer Rich Brennan, Raven, and "The Professor" Mike Tenay http://imgur.com/wUzbUWe.jpghttp://imgur.com/fPXKfiI.jpghttp://imgur.com/UtRi0wc.jpg On what kind of talent they plan to bring in, and whether talent will be free to work elsewhere: Corgan said all talent they have signed and will sign are going to be on exclusive deals. He said with the resources that FOX has, he plans to build the "greatest and most diverse wrestling roster of all time." Obviously a unique schedule as the company plans to broadcast its marquee 3-hour events on free television, which sources tell me is an attempt by FOX to grow the smaller and newer FXX channel. Another interesting development programming-wise is the late-night timeslot on FX immediately following WWE SmackDown. Clearly a lot still being kept under wraps in what's really a shocking and exciting time to be a wrestling fan, but we'll continue to bring you the latest as more details emerge. </div></blockquote> .... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43007" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/SCL4FlE.jpg http://imgur.com/hrWufgG.jpghttp://imgur.com/HDRXW0s.jpg ANTHEM TAKES OVER, WHAT'S NEXT FOR TNA? Monday Week 1, December 2016 By: Bryan Alvarez To say TNA has come out on the losing end of this Billy Corgan saga is an understatement, but what TNA does have now is financial stability. Sources are telling us that Anthem Sports and Entertainment has officially completed its acquisition of TNA, and it now owns 80% of the company. http://imgur.com/pX97rGi.jpghttp://imgur.com/Fs1PB8R.jpg http://imgur.com/Oi2CfJ5.jpg Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Norholm will oversee the company, and the keys to the creative side of things have been handed over to Jeremy Borash. Dixie Carter now owns just 5% of the company, and now only holds the title of "Chief Strategy Officer," whatever that means. Nashville-based marketing company Aeroluxe owns 15% of the company. This would have been bigger news, of course, had FOX not just opened a multi-million dollar wrestling company, and Kurt Angle not signed with WWE. Whether APEX Wrestling tries to poach any TNA talent is unknown at this point of course, but that should be a cause of concern for TNA as well. While it isn't totally certain whether any contract language would keep TNA talent from joining a new company like APEX, we do know that the vast majority of TNA's roster are not working on anything resembling an exclusive deal. </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43007" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> http://imgur.com/BblKbgz.jpg http://imgur.com/kEUYSe2.jpg http://imgur.com/GOteRBl.jpg http://imgur.com/MXxoIk8.jpg </div></blockquote>

Angle looked like his old self, and even got some real heat from the crowd before the end of the show despite it being his return night.

He says APEX Wrestling's 4 championships -- which he promised we'd learn about throughout APEX on FX shows -- aren't going to be crowned overnight.

WINNER: Santana Garrett, by clean pinfall RATING: 54 QUOTE OF THE SEGMENT: “And Santana Garrett proves to Mercedes Martinez, the grizzled veteran, that she belongs.” – Mike Tenay </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43007" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/SKUQDZ3.jpg After the match, Santana Garrett celebrates as she walks up the ramp, slapping fans hands. http://i.imgur.com/wKYRysY.jpg She turns around at the top of the stage to see Martinez standing at the ropes on the edge of the ring licking her wounds, staring at her while laughing and shaking her head.

Val asks him what it’s like to be the son of a wrestling legend like Big Van Vader. White says his father taught him discipline, intensity, and a never-die attitude. He says those are the things that make him hungry to compete in APEX Wrestling. http://i.imgur.com/5v9wp4M.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/AlNCvNA.jpg As White is talking, all of the sudden two men come up behind him and start absolutely pulverizing him. They’re identified as Ted DiBiase Jr. and Harry Smith. After knocking White to the ground, they repeatedly kick the crap out of him. Harry Smith looks to his right off camera and motions to DiBiase to get out of dodge. The two men make a run for it, and running into the camera shot to a big pop from the crowd: http://i.imgur.com/ICGkZY5.jpg Cody with a steel chair in hand. He taunts DiBiase and Smith as he kneels down to tend to Jesse White. RATING: 39 ROAD AGENT NOTE: The crowd found Jesse White’s humble gimmick a little bland, but this rivalry could help build his character to the fans. QUOTES OF THE SEGMENT: “You want to talk about legacies? You’re gonna learn a thing or two about legacies, son.” – Ted DiBiase Jr. “What are these two trying to prove by hijacking an interview and jumping a man from behind?! Wait a minute – that’s Cody coming to the aid of Jesse White! All four of these men the sons of wrestling legends!” – Rich Brennon </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43007" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/FKoyUOR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/7mlDR8A.jpg "THE MIRACLE” MIKE BENNETT vs. COLT CABANA Back out to the ring we go, and to what we feel is the match of the night. Plenty of time set aside for this match, which was a back and forth contest where both characters were given time to perform. In the end, Bennett jumps out of a suplex attempt by Cabana, landing on his feet then hitting Colt with a Box Office Smash when he least expects it. As he’s pinning Cabana, though, Bennet uses the ropes for leverage and the ref doesn’t see it, getting the 3 count and a cheap win. WINNER: “The Miracle” Mike Bennett, by pinfall using the ropes RATING: 67 QUOTE OF THE SEGMENT: “And this is exactly the kind of thing Nash was talking about earlier tonight.

The voice off camera asks him what he expects from the matchup tonight. He says tonight is about doing exactly what wrestlers are trained to do in Mexico – give one hell of a performance for the crowd, and fight like your life depends on it.

Across the desk is none other than “The World Warrior” Low Ki. Nash tells him that he made the right call, this is place truly tailor-made for a fighter like him who wants to earn his spot. Right in the middle of their conversation, someone repeatedly starts banging on the door. http://i.imgur.com/BHGSSaJ.jpg Nash excuses himself and opens the door to Drew Galloway, who gets a nice debut reaction from the crowd. Galloway is standing outside heated angry. He tells Kevin he expected no less of him. Galloway says Billy Corgan has him signing a confidentiality agreement, and hiding what he’s been doing for the better part of the last month after he signed his contract. Then, he finds out he’s been left off the card for the first show. Nash laughs and says it was clearly an oversight, but says he walked right into the perfect situation. He may not have time to book Galloway tonight, but he knows just the opponent for him, and moves out of the way to show Low Ki sitting just behind him. Nash tells Galloway he wants a fight, he’s got one. He’ll face Low Ki next week. Galloway looks less than pleased, almost a bit pale, and storms off. RATING: 70 ROAD AGENT NOTE: Kevin Nash is really doing a great job in this role. QUOTE OF THE SEGMENT: “You want to walk around here, throw a tantrum and pick a fight, that’s fine. But if you come banging on MY door, you better expect a fight. I think you’ve met Low Ki, no?” – Kevin Nash “Oh man, that’s not the answer Drew Galloway was looking for.” – Raven </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43007" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> http://i.imgur.com/freLMgL.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jhhFqSf.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/rHqR8aE.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/wrGvDcI.jpg MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS vs. ISLAND ASSAULT (AFA JR. & “THE PUERTO RICAN HURRICANE” HAVOC) A decent match that was really there just to get MCMG involved in the show, it seems. But all 4 performers did a solid job in this bout. Island Assault had a small amount of time with the upper hand so as to not make this a total job. Chris Sabin hits the Cradle Shock on Havoc for the pinfall victory, and MCMG celebrate their win to a delighted crowd.

Hero talks about how he’s built his career on punishment. He takes pleasure out of nothing more than inflicting pain on his opponents, and that’s why he’s become one of the best wrestlers in the world today. His message to APEX Wrestling is that he’s taking over one fight at a time. http://i.imgur.com/PwYCRtI.jpg Hero is interrupted by “Bad News” Barrett, who gets right up in Hero’s grill and stands over him a bit, laughing. Barrett tells Hero he’s not buying a second of what Hero’s spewing out of his mouth. Barrett is a bare knuckle boxer, he was once stabbed by a robber, and refused to let the man get away with his money. He knows what inflicting pain really is. http://i.imgur.com/X4ayT4P.jpg The argument starts to get heated and neither one of these guys are backing down before Kevin Nash steps in between them. He tells the two men to go to their opposite corners and cool down, the two of them are going to get their chance to fight soon enough. RATING: 66 QUOTE OF THE SEGMENT: “You do realize you’re a gimmick right, Chris? And all these people here know it, that’s why no one around here respects you.

It’s almost a question as to whether or not these two men should’ve been in the ring fighting each other with their size difference. It turns out, according to Mike Tenay, that Douglas was very pushy last week with Kevin Nash, telling him that he’s willing to face anyone, anytime to show how good he is. Douglas mounts some offense in the outset, but Magnus puts him away with a Samoan Drop within a few minutes.

The bell rings repeatedly in the background and the crowd boos. http://i.imgur.com/Ju2N681.jpg Those boos turn into cheers, though, when all of the sudden, out comes Doug Williams with a full head of steam. He hits the ring and trades a few punches with Magnus before throwing him over the top rope and out of the ring. Magnus, clearly tired from the match and his post-match fight, licks his wounds as he walks to the back. Williams gets on the mic and tells Magnus that he needs to have more respect for where he came from, and quit acting like a child.

Two men with plenty of chemistry as competitors and tag team partners over the years put on a fast-paced lucha showcase, and get plenty of time to do it. The crowd was pretty hot throughout the match, as the two did a good job allowing each other plenty of time to mount offensives. Carístico had the upper hand just before the end. He goes for a japanese style spin-kick near the ropes that Mysterio was able to duck under. Mysterio hit a drop toe hold on Carístico which landed him in between the ropes, and you know what comes next. 619, then a West Coast Pop, then a 1-2-3 for a Mysterio win to the crowd’s delight. WINNER: Rey Mysterio, by clean pinfall RATING: 62 QUOTE OF THE SEGMENT: “You have two men who know each other like the backs of their hands, and at one time or another, both have been considered amongst the best lightweight wrestlers on the planet.

I am digging this dynasty. Great stuff, I really like the time and effort you put into your pictures and graphics. My dynasty is pretty basic because I don't have the kind of time to devote, but your road agent notes and quotes of the segment are golden. I'll definitely be following, and will be interested to see what "Big Sexy" decides to do with the titles. Great start, really enjoyed the first show.

Investors tell us they're hesitant at FOX making such a substantial investment as sole owners of a full-fledged sports entertainment company. This isn't just a program on one of its networks that FOX can cancel if it goes poorly. FOX has invested substantial financial resources into getting its new APEX Wrestling company started, and it will likely have to be in it for the long haul. Sources tell us that FOX would likely keep the company up and running for at least 2 years before making any decisions on its future. This does not however, make its high-ranking executives, untouchable during that period.

This looks really good so far. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the future. You definitely have a reader in me.

Ayako Hamada vs. Santana Garrett vs. Melissa Flash vs. Allysin Kay - Elimination Match

Any of the four could win this one. Hamada is one of my favorite Japanese female wrestlers.

John Hennigan vs. Doug Williams

I am probably wrong on this one but I really like Doug Williams. I love his Chaos Theory finisher and would love to see it hit on Hennigan.

Low Ki vs. Drew Galloway

A bigger name right now. Though, I can see Low Ki becoming a big name in the future.

I hope we see more from guys like Rey Rey on here. Not a personal big fan of this main event. But I know that things will get better.
