 BACKGROUND
Professional wrestling has become over saturated. We may sound like hypocrites here, but we have had enough of the same weekly episodic television and the same old independent wrestling promotion trying to strive and thrive on 'pure-wrestling'. Sure, both approaches are safe and are proven to work. Quite frankly, we are sick and tired of the 'day in and day out' wrestling that is beyond predictable and easy to read and fun for everyone to follow. Its a safe assumption to make that almost everyone else in the wrestling world feels this way, but nobody else has the balls to admit that it is time to restructure professional wrestling as a whole. A fresh idea that can stick and just be new. Something that hasn't been done before and never attempted to be done in the past. Well, that last sentence isn't all true. You see, our approach is 'less is more'. Sure, we might only put on a few dozen shows a year, but doesn't that make them all the more special? We don't work our competitors 24/7 every day of the year until they are burnt out and in need of a break. This approach makes injury inevitable. Why would a company make these bodies break in order to score a few more thousands? In our case, we are all about putting on the best wrestling possible without having to put much effort into it. Let's be honest here, we are the conservative approach to professional wrestling these days. We take pride in our mentality and the amount of planning to go into each of our tours. Think of us as your favorite band putting out a new album and wanting to put together a tour to promote that album. Our promotion takes months off. Our promotion doesn't have a million dollar production crew. Our promotion doesn't have a television deal. Hell, our promotion doesn't even leave the Northeastern part of the United States! So, who the hell are we? To answer that question as honest as we can; we are five investors from five different states in the Northeast looking to make professional wrestling fun and relevant again. Do you honestly need to know more? take the power back.

CHAPTER ONE: 'REIMAGINE' JULY 12TH, 2013; NEW YORK CITY, NY
The show starts off with an announcement before any kind of wrestling. The person over the loudspeaker in this gym type of arena talks about how out of hand professional wrestling has gotten and what Pro Wrestling Reimage is doing to recreate the industry as we know it. The announcer more or less talks about how over-saturated and basically over used professional wrestling is these days and how the fans of the big companies are not helping by being so nit picky and critical of every little thing a promotion does. Finally, the mysterious person begs the crowd of just over 1200 people to try and just enjoy themselves tonight and not to over think or critique our performers. This is wrestling at its greatest enjoyment. This is chapter one in a longer journey that has just begun.
After a brief pause, a screen is set up in the entrance way and it begins to show random clips and quick snipets of how professional wrestling has gone south in the past few years. The package takes about three minutes to show before the show officially kicks off with the PWR theme music; "Breakers" by Local Natives. The announcer greets and welcomes us again to the show and announces that our main event will feature two competitors who have competed around the world before and should be near and dear to our hearts; Red Dragon faces off with Riley Shamrock!
JAYSON JORDAN VS. SHANE MCCORVEN
Two mix of styles kick off the competition officially for PWR as Jordan and McCorven locked up in the middle of the ring in the first match of the tour. McCorven, a very unstable man who seems to be in the mood for any kind of wrestling, had the crowd behind him due to his unique approach to wrestling. Jordan is basically the complete opposite of McCorven; Jordan is a very clean cut human being who is lean and well managed in his own ways. Definitely the early upper hand to McCorven who came out firing and looking to make a name for himself on this tour. Using various submissions and rest holds, McCorven was able to slow down the more speedy Jordan with a ground and pound attack. McCorven seemed to have a little following due to his work with other companies and Jordan seems to be the new kid on the block here. Either way, history aside, it didn't matter as the match was fairly one-sided for the better portion of the contest. Jordan did get some offense in early after squirming out of an armbar, but McCorven came back strong and signaled for the end of the match. The Englishman went to drill Jordan with a sick elbow, but missed and Jordan took advantage and nailed a jumping reverse bulldog and scored the quick three count. The crowd seemed a little confused but enjoyed the opening bout. JAYSON JORDAN WINS BY PINFALL.
Jordan wasn't done after scoring the pinfall as he grabbed himself a microphone and started to talk about how all these people how he is so disappointed in them as they would cheer for a maniac such as Shane McCorven. Jordan talks about his past and his upbringing as a gentleman and well mannered person. Jordan goes on about how a certain creed and code is missing from professional wrestling as every wrestling seems to have lost their minds like McCorven here. Jordan continues to speak and talk about how he is happy to be apart of a company who takes pride in recreating this great business and he hopes that he can make an impact and rid of all these psycho personalities like his opponent tonight.
JUSTIN TYGER & ELLIOT REID VS. EDDY VALENTINO & ZEKE WALKER
Another mix of characters in our second match of the evening as the tag match saw very strange teammates tag with each other. Tyger, a southern boy who really likes to have a good time, teams with another man who loves to live life to the fullest, Elliot Reid. These two guys couldn't have come from more different backgrounds but have arrived at the same destination in this tag team match and seemed to tag well together. Their opponents didn't fair the same way as the 'Golden Boy' Zeke Walker didn't mesh the best with the hometown hero Eddy Valentino. The real star of this match turned out to by Tyger as he out wrestled both of his opponents for the portion of the match he was involved in. Reid & Tyger were able to split time in the ring pretty evenly and control most of the contest. This is not to say that Walker & Valentino didn't put up a fair fight for these guys. The crowd seemed to like the fun loving duo better than the mix & match pair, but applauded all four men on their efforts for the evening. When the dust settled and it was all said and done, Tyger nailed the Northern Lights Bomb on Walker and got the three count after Reid stopped Valentino from breaking up the pin. JUSTIN TYGER & ELLIOT REID WIN BY PINFALL.
Tyger and Reid celebrated their hard fought win in the center of the ring. The crowd cheered how well these two worked together and some instant chemistry was born between this duo. A fun time had by all around ring side and it appears that a new friendship has begun between Reid and Tyger.
It was announced that PWR will be returning to New York on September 10th right in this same arena! Also, PWR's journey continues six days from now in Pennsylvania as chapter two in this epic saga rolls on in the city of brotherly love.
RILEY SHAMROCK VS. RED DRAGON
Main event time here in New York between two real experienced competitors and probably the two most well known guys on the tour. Dragon, who has held world championships and fought all around the world, had the crowd gunning for him when he came out as the honorable babyface got the crowd roaring with his entrance. Shamrock, a third generation superstar with a massive technical background, got a nice hand but nothing like Dragon's. A even start with these guys matching each other move for move before Dragon exploded and used some of the puro background to take the early advantage. Shamrock came back with some hard technical holds to slow down Dragon and gain the match control. The crowd was in love with both of these guys from the start and it may be due to their pro wrestling past, but that doesn't matter. After a moment of almost rest, more straight chain wrestling between these two had the crowd in awe and really on the edge of their seats. Shamrock seemed to gain the advantage in the chain wrestling and went to lock in the Ode To Shamrock following a series of German suplexes, Dragon somehow dug deep and battled out of it and went to lock in his own Welsch Lock but Shamrock maneuvered his way out of that. Once again, these two were at a stalemate, but it wasn't until, out of seemingly nowhere, Dragon caught his worthy adversary with the Red Dragon Driver and got the three count to get the major victory in our main event! RED DRAGON WINS BY PINFALL.
The first ever PWR show comes to a close as Red Dragon slaps fives with some fans and signals that he is going to rule this tour going forward. Shamrock nods his way and it seems like these two are far from done.

Good show Duan. The opening was good and laid out what you want from the promotion. But it does seem abit strange. I understand the trying to make wrestling good again but you don't seem to be doing much different to other shows. I think you could have waited for more sign ups. The layout is good as always and the match write ups are good too. Good opening match to the show and the promo afterwards added character. The tag match was good too, I liked the way you described Elliot and Tyger. Good to see them go over and Tyger hyped. With such a small roster at the moment I wouldn't have perminant tag teams. The main event was great, great to see Dragon put over so much, seems like he's being treated like a vet compared to everyone else, surley Tyger is a vet too. I thought you'd put Riley over since it was the first show but as it's a tour I can see him growing over the tour. Overall, a good show just a little confused on the message your trying to put out but I'm sure I'll understand better in time. Try and get more sign ups, PM guys like Hart, Bennett, Bockwinkel you need some bulking out in your roster. Whether you want more experienced guys or not is upto you. Good luck and keep this up.

Great show man. Really disappointed McCorven couldn't pull it off but it sounds like you might have big plans coming up for him.

 Who are these guys and what in the world does this company stand for? The new mysterious company, 'Pro Wrestling Reimage' made its slightly anticipated debut last night in New York to a better reception than originally believed. With not much information going into last night, the crowd turned up for mostly two reasons; a free show and pure curiosity. Apparently, PWR selected 500 fans at random to give them free tickets to last night show to help get the word out and it paid off. Wrestling in New York City isn't something that is uncommon and it is normally perceived very well and harshly at the same time. Right from the start last night, a mysterious and ominous announcer went on about how people shouldn't sit there with their little notepads and judge this company by nitpicking. Last night was all about enjoying what professional wrestling could be without any distractions and real expectations. From a few crowd reactions, this approach to professional wrestling worked out for PWR, but how long can this last? With some serious no-names doing battle for this company, can it really sustain any kind of momentum as it rolls from city to city? The companies next stop is in Philadelphia and it was announced earlier today through the companies Twitter account (@pwrpower) that many known names have signed on to do some one-off shows with the company. All I know is that we only saw eight competitors last night and the wrestling world basically only knew half of them. Some independent main stays such as Red Dragon, Riley Shamrock, Justin Tyger and Elliot Reid did battle with the main event highlighting what the company is going to try and build itself on. With 20+ tour dates to go, how the heck will this company keep drawing a crowd with minimal information given out?
It's safe to say, if you are confused about what is going on with PWR, you aren't alone. Is this all part of the plan? Before I wrap this up, here is the twitter message that PWR put out this morning about the Philadelphia show on the 18th. You guys be the judge.

Great to see the first show up, got some great talents in the company, especial with names such as Dragon, Tyger & Valentino, if you ever do any UK shows, I'm sure you could borrow a couple of FPW guys if needed.  Decent show, shame there was only three matches, but then again what do you expect with just eight roster members. Hopefully more people sign up in the future, and the shows continue staying strong. |
