PRO X: A Modern Day TEW Saga

[JaCeLo3]

***BREAKING NEWS***

 

AUSTIN (Tex.) - WWE and AEW have been put on notice. Billionaire Elon Musk shockingly has decided to enter the professional wrestling world and has announced his intentions on launching Pro X Wrestling.

"As busy as I am I must admit I have been contemplating this for many many months now. I just couldn't tolerate the itch anymore and knew that the best time to make a move was now. I have been a closet wrestling fan all of my life. I would love for the industry to get back to the glory days of a three headed monster. Back then it was WWF, WCW, and ECW. Right now the industry belongs to WWE and AEW, if you want to throw Impact and New Japan into the mix be my guest. I'm here to challenge for the top," explained Musk.

Musk went on, "I am a fan first and I think I can speak for a lot of fans that there's a lot of mismanaged talent and stories done by the big promotions and if there's a chance to do it the right way, for the fans, I will do my best to deliver that."

Musk elaborated on some of his plans in the upcoming months, "It's going to be very busy, very time consuming. We'll need to go out and get staff, talent, equipment, production, everything you name it. At this point, anyone who isn't tied down to an exclusive contract with another company will be on our radar. We want to deliver a product that the fans want, enjoy, and deserve."

When we have more information on this breaking news we will deliver it. It'll be interesting to see how this promotion launch will affect the wrestling world and other promotions themselves. WWE is still #1 in the pack, however the majority of their talent is secured through exclusive right written contracts so don't look for much of their talent to make a jump to Pro X. It could mean big changes for AEW, New Japan, IMPACT, ROH, and some of the other top independent promotions.

[Old School Fan]

Elon Musk's involvement in the wrestling business in this diary does sound intriguing and I'd like to see what happens with his own company.

[JaCeLo3]

Good idea, much better than another WCW reboot.

 

By the way, company name is inspired by XWF?

 

Honestly, it came from his businesses ventures already. SpaceX. Then if we want it to look like an equation, it's simply Pro x Wrestling, lol. There, those were my inspirations on the name heh.

[JaCeLo3]

Woah, almost 2 years later, it's time to officially get this saga on the go! Content and diary will be officially rolling within the next week here, just prepping everything once again. Stay tuned.

***BREAKING NEWS***

 

AUSTIN (Tex.) - Elon Musk has announced that he has hired Stephanie McMahon, former WWE executive and daughter of Vince McMahon, as Pro X Wrestling's 'second in command'.

"Many will ask how I was able to get her, the wife of the current Head of Creative for WWE, to sign with Pro X. It's quite simple actually. If you want something bad enough, you give up what it takes. In my circumstance, it was a lot of money, but money well spent. She's been in the industry for a very long time and she is great at what she does." Musk exclaimed.

Musk went on, "Stephanie is the first of what I hope is many uncontracted significant talents who can help this company get the wheels moving and thrive. Sit back and enjoy the ride."

[JaCeLo3]

***BREAKING NEWS***

CHICAGO (Illin.) - CM Punk, the hottest free agent in pro wrestling, has signed on with a new company, Pro X Wrestling. Elon Musk told the media and wrestling world days ago he would be going after the top talent for all spectrums of the new wrestling promotion, it looks like he's starting with the biggest free agent available.

Elon Musk commented earlier about his first wrestler signing with Pro X earlier today, "Hiring Phil was a no brainer. He's a skilled veteran, leader in the locker room, has high expectations for himself and his co-workers, and is easily one of the biggest stars in the business. We're lucky to have the opportunity to sign him. I know Punk is excited and so are we."

Musk noted that this would be the company's only announcement of signing on-screen talent. He is a big fan of the element of surprise and wants fans to tune in each week to see who just might show up. If fans are looking to watch CM Punk continue his hall of fame career, they'll need to keep following Pro X.

[JaCeLo3]

***BREAKING NEWS***

Austin (Tex.) - Elon Musk and Stephanie McMahon have recently released Pro X's backstage operation staff, along with the on-air announcing crew for when Pro X hits the television airwaves. Elon Musk said he was going to go big and it's safe to say that some of these names are some of the biggest in the wrestling world. The new staff signings include:

• Bully Ray
• Chavo Guerrero
• Chris Hero
• Gail Kim
• Hulk Hogan
• Kevin Nash
• LA Park
• Lance Storm
• Lisa Marie Varon
• Mick Foley
• Raven
• Steve Austin
• Tom Prichard
• Drake Younger
• Mike Chioda
• Jimmy Korderas
• Eva Marie
• Maro Rnallo
• Pat McAfee

"Some of these individuals are well known for their time with other promotions, but they are just as excited as we are with the new venture and to bring new programming to wrestling fans around the world. You pay people what they want and deserve and you can reap in the benefits." Musk stated.

Stephanie McMahon noted that a new weekly show will be announced shortly once everything is finalzied.

[JaCeLo3]

***BREAKING NEWS***

Austin (Tex.) - Earlier this evening it was announced that Pro X Wrestling will begin airing a weekly show Thursday nights. XCELLENCE will begin airing next week as Executive Vice President Stephanie McMahon told the media.

"We've got talent signed, more are coming, and we'll be ready to go very shortly! In the coming weeks everyone needs to get ready for the fun, ready for the excitement, and ready for a whole lot of entertainment. Elon is a busy man, but he has taken his time to try and put forth a solid gameplan in this new promotion and it'll be the utmost professional promotion around." McMahon noted.

No talent has been announced as of yet, except for the huge signing of CM Punk. Be sure to check out the first episode of XCELLENCE and see who will be PRO X!

[HiPlus]

What a splash this would be, Musk with Steph and CM Punk. The only thing that could make this more wild would be someone like Hogan/Russo/Cornette joining the booking team. 

 

My thoughts prior to seeing Hogan, McAfee, Austin all signed to the initial roster.

That's a massive splash right away in not only the wrestling world, but in general. The Rock would be a big get if Elon can

He tried, but right now, for The Rock, Pro X is not big enough for him...*sigh*

Thursday, Week 1, November 2023 - APG Federal Credit Union Arena - Bel Air, MD
XCELLENCE #3

 

SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENT: NOT JUST FOR THE BOYS

Stephanie McMahon comes out to open the show and talks about how exacting of a night it was last week as PRO X started the inaugural tournament for the PRO X Universal Championship Belt. While the first round did get started off last week, she wants to make another inaugural announcement. Just like the Universal Title, PRO X is ready to kickoff it's Woman's Worth Title Tournament and give another world class championship a title holder. Eight women will have a chance to be the first ever PRO X champion, they will battle it out to be ruled the best in the world.
 

SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENT (CONT.): INTERUPPTED

"Cult of Personality' blasts over sound system as CM Punk made his way out to the ring. Stephanie appeared truly annoyed. Stephanie went to welcome him and Punk cut her off. He couldn't help but notice last week that after he came out to talk to the fans that that is when she just happen to call somebody someone. He continued that it's no secret about their past. She didn't care for him, he didn't care for her. When he talked about how he didn't care who was in charge here at PRO X, that that wasn't a sincere personal shot, it was exactly what he meant, WHO EVER IT IS. After all these years, he thought maybe time would heal some wounds, but he's start to feel like maybe that isn't the case. Somethings just don't change, like her running to daddy or her hubby when things get tough. Stephanie boils over at that remark reminding him that ever since he was kicked out of her family business, that business has thrived. She asks him, CM Punk, what have you done? What have you done, Phil, besides get fired from ANOTHER business because your ego once again gets in his own way. Punk smirked at her, and told her not to worry, some people can't handle high quality professional expectations. Someone who can is her boss and someone he respects, Elon Musk, who hired her to do his b*tch work, and he wishes her luck because just like in the past, she'll be perfect for the job. CM Punk goes to leave, Stephanie told him to hold up, he needs to know who runs his show once again. He wasn't supposed to compete tonight, but change of plans. He will compete tonight, because SHE says so.

 

WOMENS WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT MATCH
Tessa Blanchard vs Macey Estrella
 [VS] 
In a woman's tournament match, Blanchard and Estrella met in a rematch from the previous week and went back and forth throughout. The tension reached its peak when the legendary Kurt Angle, two-piece suit and all, made a surprise appearance at ringside.

As the match intensified, Angle couldn't resist getting involved, subtly causing a distraction that led to Macey Estrella tripping herself up. Estrella began hollering at Angle and asking him what his problem was. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Tessa Blanchard seized the moment and delivered her devastating Buzzsaw finisher to secure the victory and advance to the next round while forming what looks like to be a new alliance with Kurt Angle...
WINNER: Tessa Blanchard
MATCH TIME: 7:21

 

THE GOLDEN STANDARD

Kurt Angle walks over and snags the microphone and entered the ring. He motions Blanchard to boot Estrella out of the ring as Tessa kicks out Estrella to the floor. Angle went on to say that it's no secret who he is, these people all know. He's been waiting for awhile, and the while is over. As a former Olympic gold medalist, and as a former World Champion in MULTIPLE promotions in this business...he himself knows what it takes to get to the top. He IS the gold standard of champions in this world, past, present, and future. THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD. If you don't know who this is yet (pointing to Tessa), believe me, you will. That my friends, is the golden truth!

 

UNIVERSAL TITLE TOURNAMENT MATCH
Redbeard (w/ Sister April, Tay Wyatt, and Vincent) vs Rob Van Dam
 [VS]

However, fate had other plans, as Vincent's interference backfired spectacularly.

He isn't stopping tonight, not until that PRO X Universal Title is around his waist. And he knows exactly who he's going to have wrap that beauty around there, stay tuned...

TRINITY READY FOR SACS

Eva Marie's is in back interviewing Trinity. She asks her on her thoughts for next weeks match that she has against Mandy Sacs in the semi-finals of the PRO X Womens World Title Tournament. Trinity says she CAN'T WAIT for next week, if it was up to her she'd be slapping Mandy Sacs around tonight. Only a coward attacks from behind. Next week, Mandy will need to leave her cowardness at home because Trinity has her eyes set on her and they aren't eyeing anything else except Coward Sacs and that World Title!

LEGION OF PAIN GIVE ANSWERS

Stokely Hathaway leads out LOP to the ring. He addresses how PRO X wrestling, while a magnificent body of structure, was lacking force, lacking authority. No, no, no, not Mr. Musk or Ms. McMahon authority, the type of authority that makes you learn a lesson. An authority that pays the price. PRO X was lacking that up until last week when these two men (points to Gzim and Sunny) made their debut by demolishing two unfortunate individuals. Let's get somethi-...

...out comes the Motor City Machine Guns, who stop at the entrance. Alex Shelley comments on the cowardish attack the LoP did on them last week, and that's not something that him and Sabin are going to leave unanswered. They start walking towards the ring when Stokely halts them. "Woah, woah, woah, as I was saying, let's get something straight. As I mentioned before, it was nothing personal, just business...BUSINESS. When someone hires you to do a job, you do it. They don't ask questions, you do it and recoup your payment." Sabin and Shelley looked confused. "So your telling us, someone HIRED you to, attack us from behind like dirtbags? That's what you're saying?" Hathaway shakes his head yes, "that is correct, sir. If someone paid us to do it again, we would. That's how we handle business. That's how the LOP will always handle business. What happened last week should be a lesson for everyone in the back. The LOP are here, Gzim and Sunny, have landed." Who the heck would hire the LOP to attack the Motor City Machine Guns?

TEAM 3D BRINING THE FIGHT TO PRO X

Bully Ray, Papa Devon, and his boys' Terrell and Terrance are standing in back with Eva Marie. Bully Ray cuts her off from talking first and says "Let me just stop you right there beautiful. I am going to keep this short and sweet. Team 3D is ready for a fight. We are on a mission, to put anyone and whoever stands in our way, through that table, this table, off that ladder, through that table, onto those chairs, and onto barbwire. Yes, we're about to bring the meaning of hardcore. PRO X better be ready, if last week wasn't a clear message enough, maybe next week they'll have to make another."

UNIVERSAL TITLE TOURNAMENT MATCH
 [VS] 
Vincent (w/ Sister April & Redbeard) vs Samoa Joe
An intriguing tournament match showdown between Vincent and Samoa Joe with the imposing presence of Redbeard and the wicked Sister April adding an extra layer of drama to the contest. As the battle unfolded, Redbeard couldn't resist the urge to interfere, attempting to tip the scales in Vincent's favor. However, Samoa Joe displayed his raw power by thwarting Redbeard's interference, leaving him laid out on the outside floor. Seizing the opportunity, Joe then invited Sister April into the ring, taunting her with a sly grin. Undeterred, Joe then unleashed a relentless assault on Vincent, ultimately locking the Coquina Clutch that left his opponent unconscious and forcing the ref to ring the bell. Sister April glared with evil at Samoa Joe as he wiped his hands clean and left and on to the next round.
WINNER: Samoa Joe
MATCH TIME: 5:34

CMFTR LEARN THEIR PLACE

Punk and FTR come out, Punks talks about how it's nice to have the champs back after a week off celebrating. While they were off, he was busy advancing in the PRO X Universal Title Tournament. He continued on about how not only is he the best in the world, but CMFTR are the best overall in wrestling. Tag gold right now, Universal gold soon to follow. He didn't forget what he said last week when he said he knows exactly who he's going to have wrap the beautiful PRO X gold around his waist, and she better be ready. This is CMFTR's house, their show, enjoy the ride. Elon Musk interrupts via live steam on the big screen. He says he unfortunately needs to relay a message from someone, and he thinks they know who. 'She' wants to remind them who is in charge and runs this show, and to do so, tonight FTR will have their first title defense of their PRO X World Tag Team titles. FTR wants to know, who they'll be facing?! Musk said he has no idea, he just is relaying the message she sent him. Toodles.

In a thrilling showdown between Tay Wyatt and Chris Bey, the intensity reached new heights as both competitors showcased their skills in the squared circle. The match took an unexpected turn when the mysterious Sister April made her presence felt, lurking at ringside in support of The Family. As the bout neared its finale, frustrated with her Family's earlier loss in the night, Sister April seized the opportunity to strike when the referee was distracted by Wyatt, viciously scratching Chris Bey's eyes, leaving him disoriented and vulnerable. Capitalizing on the support, Tay Wyatt let Bey walk right into the Buzzard's Bray, securing his advancement to the next round of the PRO X Universal Title Tournament and getting the three count.

STEP INTO THE GOLDEN OFFICE

Chris Bey is seen walking in back favoring his face after being scratched by Sister April earlier when she costed him his tournament match. A door opens up and out steps Kurt Angle, he smiles. "Chris, Chris, Chris...you know, it's a shame what happened out there. That wasn't fair to you whatsoever, I can't believe something like that can even be tolerated. Chris shakes his head in disbelief, "I know man, I know. Everyone knows I would've taken that tournament by storm. Is Bey's day, sir." Chris Bey is clearly ticked off. "Well, as much as that sucked, and it did, at least you still have that PRO X Cruiserweight Title on your shoulder. You still represent gold!" Chris Bey looks down at his Cruiserweight belt, he smiles. "Yeah man, that's right. Ain't no taking this beauty away from me either!" Angle smiles, places his hand on Chris Bey's shoulder..."step into my office, Mr. Bey"...Chris Bey walks in as we see Tessa Blanchard in the background relaxing as well. Angle closes the door.

...Tay Wyatt's eerie laugh echoed through the arena. Strange occurrences unfolded in the ring, with glimpses of a rabbit mask and hog mask adding an air of mystique. When the lights returned, Rob Van Dam lay motionless, and Bad Bunny, torn by reluctance, had no choice but to pin his opponent in order to make sure he advanced to the next round.

THE GUNN CLUB CHALLENGES THE COLONS

We see in the back The Gunn Club. Juice Robinson leads the promo by talking about how he and the boys are sick and tired of these want to be ass clowns trying to keep themselves relevant by sticking their nose in The Clubs business. What Carlito did last week by costing Juice his match and chance at the Universal Championship was the last straw. It's time for The Colons to eat the bullet. If The Colons have any kind of balls, then face The Gunn Club in a three on three trios match. That's right. You heard what Stephanie McMahon said, Seasons Beatings. Put the first official match on the card, because there is no quality card without The Gunn Club, yo. Tis the season.

UNIVERSAL TITLE TOURNAMENT MATCH

The match reached a fever pitch as both behemoths exchanged bone-rattling strikes and thunderous slams. Ryback showcased his immense strength with an array of power moves, but the intensity reached its peak when Goldberg unleashed his trademark spears, leaving Ryback gasping for breath. As the adrenaline-fueled crowd roared, Goldberg hoisted Ryback high into the air, executing a thunderous Jackhammer that reverberated throughout the arena.

FTR (w/ CM Punk) vs ???
FTR entered the ring and were caught off guard to be seeing...

The Rascalz be the mystery opponents for their first title defense match which was obviously set in place by Stephanie McMahon. The bout was an exhilarating display of contrasting styles, with FTR's technical prowess pitted against The Rascalz's aerial acrobatics. As the match progressed, The Rascalz gained momentum, executing a series of breathtaking tandem moves that had the audience on the edge of their seats. It seemed as though The Rascalz were on the verge of a stunning upset, countering FTR's every move. However, the tide turned unexpectedly when CM Punk slyly slid a chair into the ring for Dax Harwood. Not willing to risk embarrassment, Harwood used the chair, resulting in a blatant disqualification.

MATCH TIME: 15:35

CLEARING HOUSE
After the bell had rung and the match was over, FTR kept taking their assault to Miguel and Wentz. Chair shots across their backs as they lay withering in pain. Just as it appeared things were going to really get carried away, the...

...Motor City Machine Guns came out to make the save and confront FTR, fully assuming it was them who hired LOP for the assault last week as well. With The Rascalz already down and out, it was 3 on 2 with CM Punk helping take to Shelley and Sabin.

Bad Bunny's music hits as he comes out to make it 3 on 3 and to help clear house. CMFTR eventually skittered away and up the ramp, while CM Punk's next tournament opponent and FTR's victims stare them down from the ring.
