RAW Real Action Wrestling (Press Release 8/20/11)

Hey there and welcome! I'm also new to the picture fed portion of these forums. It's cool that you're also starting a new fed, I look forward to seeing it!

Stephanie McMahon: Hello everyone, I am the General Manager of Real Action Wrestling, Stephanie McMahon. It is my pleasure to be a part of the organizing and planning of this exciting new company. Real Action Wrestling is focused on bringing you the most exciting Wrestling you’ve ever seen. Now, here is the Founder and CEO of RAW, Joseph Hudson!

Joseph Hudson: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending tonight’s Press Conference. I will do my best to keep things on track as much as possible. Stephanie is holding our prized RAW Title, so you can obviously see what that will look like. Here in front of me are the Tag Team, and U.S. Titles, which will also be up for grabs. To start the show off, our first several episodes will be dedicated almost entirely to a RAW Title Tournament, which will give every one of our 16 Superstars the opportunity to compete for the Title, until there is one clear cut winner. That will be the man that is the face of our Company.

JH: As the RAW Arena is being constructed, a local High School has been kind enough to lease out their gym to us in the mean time. The first several episodes will take place here until the RAW Arena is finished for us. Ideally, in time for our first Pay-Per-View Event. Now, I will open the floor for questions.

Reporter: Do you have a Wellness Policy in place?

JH: Every Superstar is given a drug test every 90 days. This is part of their contract, and cannot be brushed off. If a Superstar refuses to take part in the drug tests, their contracts are deemed void and they are terminated immediately.

R: Are there any major rule changes that the average Wrestling fan would need to know about?

JH: No, the idea was to simplify our Product to the point that your hardcore wrestling fan will enjoy it, but the person first tuning in will be able to understand what’s going on as well. The biggest change will be formatting for the U.S. Title. The United States Title will be competed for on a basis of a rankings system. This will be determined after we’ve gotten sufficiently through the RAW Title Tournament that we have enough competitors to hold the rankings match.

R: Any hints as to the storylines set up already?

JH: Our company focus is on entertainment. This means Phenomenal wrestling and enthralling storylines. To give any hint as to what we have planned would be detrimental to the project right out of the gate. What I will tell you is that we have an incredible number of talented Superstars on our Roster, and I think you will find it quite entertaining.

R: Stephanie, why did you not just try to rebuild the WWE?

SM: With everything, you know the whole Zombie outbreak, thing happening. It was just best for me to separate myself from those that were lost. I think some Superstars you’ll see in RAW feel the same way. It was just a very unfortunate situation, and we lost a lot of good people. People we loved. But Society came out of it, intact, and we’re just trying to move forward from that.

R: Are you guys planning to do anything to honor those lost in that Event?

JH: Not really, to be honest. As with most people, we’re just looking to move on from it and give people something familiar and exciting. We will be setting up this weekend for our first Episode and will be bringing it to you soon. With that said, we need to get back to work. Thank you for your time.

Wow, the zombie thing? You really went with that?...Alright man, but good luck with that. I'm intrigued, I'll say that much. Just don't come cryin' to me when you need help with storylines cause you can't write.

robert, bite me dude.

@wcm, lol. Hey man, I tried to think of something more creative then the usual. I figure if I'm going to make a show, I might as well make the entire World they live in. I'm a fan of zombie flicks, so I thought, why not?...and I thought "You know, what if it happens. But society actually makes it through it?...here's what I think would happen."

Lol, well thanks. I'm trying to think of things that will keep the product entertaining and creative. And maybe a little ridiculous at times, who knows...

Either way, what I can tell you is it should be fun. I don't know much about customs. What I do know is I have through the first PPV planned out so far, and I assure you there will be some surprises. You'll just have to watch bro.
