Michael Hickenbottom, popularly known by his ring name Shawn Micahels, had worked for the World Wrestling Entertainment for almost two and a half decade. No one had ever thought of him leaving the said company to work for others just like Mark Calloway (the Undertaker) and his very close friend Paul Levesque (Triple H), which really made a legacy in the said company but the whole thing suddenly change and a lot of fans were surprised when Michael announced that he will leave the company and he will never be seen in a WWE show again. It is due to some backstage fights with his boss, Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon about abusing his powers and other deep reasons. Shawn Michaels had enough of his boss' bad attitude and his abusive power to the business that made him decided to leave the company without waiting for his contract to expire. By the end of January, WWE annouced thru their website that Shawn Michaels parted ways with the company. Shawn then made a radio talk a week after he leaved the company and he told all the reasons why he decided to leave the company which he made a name and legacy. The announcer then asked about "What's next for the Showstopper?" and the former WWE Champion started to laugh and told the announcer about his plan about building his own company. At first most of the people find it was a joke but without knowing it, Michael had some talks with is friend named Brad Higgins who owns a million dollar worth of oil refinery business in San Antonio asking him for some financial helps for the said project and without thinking twice, he accepted Michael's proposal. Michael then started to use his real name for the contracts and other needed files for the company and his friend signed as his business partner. Michael also have some talks with FSN and they guaranteed them a 3 year Television deal for the company. After several months of preparation, they finally built the said company and christened it with the name, EXODUS: Pro Wrestling Syndicate.
The news then started to come across the wrestling business and when some of the WWE stars heard about it, they decided not to sign their renewal contracts to WWE as they also experience alot of backstage heats with their boss and join Michael's company instead. Alot of WWE Superstars then joined the said company including some of the biggest names like, Matt Hardy, John Morrison, CM Punk and their current Smackdown main eventer and former WWE Champion, Jeff Hardy. Michael was truly overwhelmed when he heard about it and he also decided to recruit some wrestlers from the independent scene and TNA. Some decided to join and Michael let them sign an open contract which means that they can still work on other small companies other than WWE and to prevent some conflicts with their then friendly competitor, TNA. As he finally completed his roster, Michael then started to introduce his promotion to the public. He held a conference for the company in San Antonio and alot of interested fans and reporters attended. At the conference, he explained why he chose "EXODUS" to be the name of the company and it is because his company is an "exile" from the sports entertainment phase of wrestling. They will try to show alot more of action rather than it's "soap opera" side. Michael also told the audience that this promotion will be giving some emphasis on it's tag team division that's why he hire lots of tag team wrestlers (yet ironically, he'll be a singles competitor in the company). And for his last words, Michael told the fans that the wait is finally over as the revolution of brand new wrestling had arrive and it's EXODUS: Pro Wrestling Syndicate.
