Backstory Part 1: October 20th 2006, Los Angeles, CalAfter 2 years working for the top wrestling promotion In California PWG, I DJ Sauber look to start my own promotion. Now I have many connections with superstars because of the reputation I've earned In PWG working as the owner (Super Dragon) right hand man. Earlier this year I was eating at a restaurant when suddenly I was approached by former ECW Heavyweight Champion, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. It was an honor to be able to sit down and talk with the man, I met him at a PWG show this past April. Douglas and I got to talking, I mentioned that I wanted to start my own company. Douglas was shocked to hear that because he had an Idea for a promotion. As I finished up my meal he told me to meet him at his vacation home tomorrow. Backstory Part 2: October 21st 2006, Shane Douglas' vacation house, Los Angeles, CALSo I arrive at Shane's house, he gives me a tour and I get a chance to meet his son and his wife. Shane then takes me Into his basement so we can discuss this business deal. We began talking about the old times In his career. Then Shane brings up XPW.Douglas: You remember XPW don't you? Sauber (Me): Yeah, I've seen a bit of It Douglas: As you know that company folded, because of Rob Black Sauber: Yeah I remember hearing that, that Black guy, didn't he get arrested for pornography or something? Douglas: Yeah, um I really don't want to talk about him Sauber: Ok sorry Douglas: No I'm glad you brought that up, as a matter of fact that's the main reason I brought you here. Sauber: Wait, so this Is the promotion we're going to start!? How can we Isn't XPW dead? Douglas: Yes but--- Sauber: Yeah, plus doesn't Rob Black own all the rights to It too!? Douglas: Alright, calm down, just listen. As you may know I was a huge part of XPW, as a matter of fact when I came to XPW I had something called "creative control". Rob put the company on me and I ran with It. You see Rob was In hot water with The Messiah, I'm sure you heard the story with Messiah getting his thumb cut off right? Sauber: Yeah, I remember watching something about that on America's Most Wanted. Douglas: Ha ha, yeah, anyway Rob was In hot water and was losing the company, Messiah was screwing his wife, along with financial problems so he put a quarter of XPW In my name. So as time went by, XPW filed for bankrupt and I went on to work for TNA. And now I want to start something new. Rob Black Is out of the wrestling biz, which Is a good thing. Now The Xtreme Wrestling Group bought the rights to Rob's portion of XPW, but not mine! So a couple of months ago I sat down and talked to this XWG, and we've came to an agreement, and as of August 17th I now have all the rights to Xtreme Pro Wrestling! Sauber: ... I'm speechless, why haven't you said anything to the public? !? Douglas: I wanted It to be low profile, and I couldn't run the promotion on my own. So for months I've been searching California for a man with the same drive and attitude for business as me, and you know what?...I think I found the right guy. Sauber: Me!? Douglas: Yes DJ, me and you along with XWG distributing our merchandise can bring back XPW! Sauber: I'm not sure If we can do It, I mean after all this Is XPW we're talking about, they've kind of gotten a bad reputation. Douglas: Yeah everyone knows that, XPW Is ECW's red headed step son, but with me and you we can bring It back, better than ever! Sauber: ..... Better than ever!? Douglas: Better than ever! Sauber: ....I'm In! Douglas: Alright, now lets really get to work.........DJ "Kid Carnage" Sauber & "The Franchise" Shane Douglas Present...
"The Internet Marks hated It" "The Good, Bad and the Ugly....Is back!" "THE Ressurection........That no one wanted"
THIS IS......
Coming soon to a wrestling sim board near you!

DJ Sauber's Internet blog, December 11th 2006 "Hello wrestling fans, as you may know I'm the co-owner of Xtreme Pro Wrestling. And ever since myself and Mr. Douglas announced this all of you Internet "Marks" as I like to say haven't been looking forward to the resurrection of XPW. You see Shane and I knew we were going to create controversy when we announced this, we knew that some people would either love It, or hate It. Well for one I love the hate! Now I was a little worried about bringing back a company that has gotten a very bad reputation, well I have a whole new plan for XPW. Your not going to see death match after death match, your not going to see porn stars running around. With my Idea's and Shane's cutting edge style we can bring back a new and Improved XPW. Currently Shane Is traveling and trying to bring back some old XPW originals, while I'm here In California looking for some up In coming talent. As a matter of fact since I worked with Super Dragon for many years we are very close, him and I are even discussing about bringing some "So Cal" talent In XPW. Now I can't say much about XPW at this moment but later on this week I'm going to be making some huge deals and sometime In the year 2007, XPW will be making It's return!"

To save you guys time, over the months of December - February myself and Mr. Douglas have been making huge deals, we've created a small roster to start with by bringing In some XPW originals and some new stars, In time the roster will grow more and more.Roster Face Heel Tweener
"The Franchise" Shane Douglas Vampiro Vic Crimes The Human Tornado Chris Bosh Scorpio Sky Alter Boy Luke Scott Lost "The Rock Superstar" Kaos Frankie Kazarian Excalibur Jack Evans "The Hardcore Homo" Angel Alter Boy Matt "The Human Horror Show" Supreme Chris Chetti
Tag Teams/Stables Arrogance (Scott Lost & Chris Bosh) The Alter Boys (Matt & Luke)Also with Shane Douglas being the last XPW World Heavyweight Champion, he has had possession of the title ever since the company folded. Now with Shane coming out of retirement so will the title!VacantMore titles will be added soon! Over the past months Shane has been In charge with event bookings. He has contacted a lot of arena's mostly In California, but he also has some ties In his home town of Pittsburgh. And sometime In the near future you may see XPW once again performing In the ECW arena! But as of now XPW's debut show will be held In It's original home of California. Shane and I are still discussing what arena to debut XPW and I am trying to work out a event schedule because many of our roster Is apart of PWG, so we don't want to Interfere with any of their events. But don't worry Shane and I will announce more details on the first show soon. But one thing I can say, Is that If everything goes as planned the show will be sometime In March, No grantees though.- DJ Sauber

Man, this is BRILLIANT. I love every little snippet of information you're giving, and the backstory is just great in general.
Loving the card for the first show, but isn't Vic's name Vic Grimes? Unless he's changed it..
Keep up the great work!

An XPW original Kris Kloss and newcomer Scotty Diamond are sitting at the announce table doing DVD commentary as the fans are chanting XPW, XPW, XPW......, All of the sudden "The Franchise" Shane Douglas makes his way to the ring! Douglas wants to thanks us for coming out tonight, and he also wants to thank the one man that made this happen the co-owner DJ Sauber. All of the sudden Vampiro came from behind and ambushed Douglas! Vampiro was nailing Douglas with left and right hands, until Douglas turned the tables! Douglas than took It to Vamprio. Vampiro then cowardly slid out of the rid avoiding Douglas' attack. Douglas then grabbed a mic and said Vamprio wants to start **** with him, well they can settle It out In the ring TONIGHT! 83%Scorpio Sky vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Jack EvansFrankie Kazarian won In a great opening contest, after Jack Evans attempted to go for a 630, but Kazarian met him on the top rope and hit him with The Flux Capacitor! He covered the lifeless Evans for the 3, a great opening contest which showcased all 3 men. Winner: Frankie Kazarian via pinfall @ 13:0961%They are...ArrogantThe tag team known as Arrogance (Chris Bosh & Scott Lost) cut a promo saying that they are the best tag team In the state of California, and tonight they will prove that they are the best team XPW's ever seen! 62%Arrogance vs. The Human Tornado & ExcaliburThe funny antics of Tornado and Excalibur didn't help them much In this match as Arrogance proved why they are one of the best tag teams on The West Side. Excalibur started to get little momentum, but that was soon cut off after Chris Bosh locked him In the Photo Op. Excalibur quickly tapped out. Winner: Arrogance via submission @ 8:1247%A Kaotic Challenge!After a 15 minute Intermission, an XPW original Kaos made his way to the ring. Kaos began to bad mouth XPW, he stated that he's better than XPW, he said that you could line up anyone In that locker room and Kaos would beat them. So Kaos then Issued an open challenge to anyone, and none other then Chris Chetti ran to the ring! And just like that we have a match! "The Rock Superstar" Kaos vs. Chris ChettiIn a long hard fought match up, no matter how hard Chetti tried he couldn't put away Kaos. Chetti went to finish the match with The Amityville Horror, but Kaos somehow countered It and hit the Kaostrify for the win. Winner: Kaos via pinfall @ 12:4570%AftermathAfter the match, the fans applauded both the men, Chetti went to go shake Kaos' hand, the reluctant Kaos shook his hand and the two embraced In a hug. But soon after Kaos attacked Chetti! And nailed him with another Kaostrify and spit In the face of Chris Chetti! Kaos left receiving a chorus of boos. Tag Team Deathmatch"The Human Horror Show" Supreme & Alter Boy Luke vs. "Viscous" Vic Grimes & "The Hardcore Homo" AngelAs soon as the match started It quickly became a brawl! The fans were very hot for this one, Supreme was defiantly the fan favorite. Supreme and Alter Boy Luke picked up the win after Supreme hit the Toad Splash on Angel through a table! Winner: Supreme & Alter Boy Luke via pinfall @ 11:2961%AftermathAs Supreme and Luke celebrated, Vic Grimes nailed Luke In the back with a chair. Grimes stared down Supreme as he dragged his lifeless partner Angel to the back. Main Event Vampiro vs. "The Franchise" Shane DouglasIt was the main event, and It did not disappoint. Although both men did seem a little rusty. But with the fire In his eyes Douglas was able to put Vampiro away after out of nowhere he hit the Pittsburgh Plunge to pick up a huge win! Winner: Shane Douglas via pinfall @ 15:5678% (MOTN)AftermathDouglas with a chair In hand was looking to get revenge on Vampiro after what happened earlier tonight. Douglas went to nail Vampiro but again Vampiro got out of harms way and ran off to the back. Douglas stood In the ring as the fans chanted XPW as the show comes to a close.
