World Wrestling Entertainment literally killed itself. Vince McMahon was too ignorant to the ratings and in 2005 it all went downhill. Vince ignored the ratings and thought he could tell the fans what they want, he thought he was always right. Wrong. The fans are always right; Vince failed to see that and in the words of many superstars: WWE Self-Destructed. In 2006, the ratings were really at an all-time low. A member of the backstage staff quit. He was Charlie Cosgrove. He said that Vince's ignorance made him cringe and that he couldn't bare being in the company anymore. Cosgrove had worked for both WWE and TNA and has had the experience needed to work in another company. He began drawing up plans for a dream, a dream that in the next twelve months would become a reality. He began playing around with an idea for a new wrestling company that he would run, and run the right way. By the end of 2006 he had managed to get in contact with some high-profile names in the world of Sports-Entertainment. RAW, SmackDown! and ECW were forced to merge so many superstars were left without a job.
Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon had a backstage fight and Michaels stormed out to the ring with a microphone and conducted a shoot promo claiming he had quit the company. Which he did. Cosgrove then held another press-conference. That press-conference shocked the Sports-Entertainment World. He announced that there was a new wrestling promotion. Elite Wrestling Society was born. He announced that he had signed some talent to a contract and that this was going to revolutionize Sports-Entertainment. One month later he held another press-conference this time announcing that EWS had taken SmackDown!'s timeslot on television and that EWS would be debuting soon. This was another massive press-conference with him also announcing Pay-Per-Views and Championships. This was going to be something big. Vince McMahon always replied with, 'No comment.' when asked about EWS. EWS held house shows to determine champions exceot for the World Championship. On August 13, EWS's official details were released..
