I hereby announce my newest project, World Elite Wrestling, which will start from the ground up and will become the new revolutionary force in the professional wrestling industry.

WORLD ELITE WRESTLING PRESS RELEASE (provided by the F4WOnline)
July 5, 2016

For 30+ years, the McMahon empire dominated the world of professional wrestling and was at the top of the industry, and was the highest a talent can go in professional wrestling, up until April 2016, when the largest sports and entertainment franchise hit a downward spiral. WrestleMania 32 was a disaster. With almost one-third of the WWE’s roster on the injured list, the card was simply not worthy of the WrestleMania nametag. For the first time since the 90s, there was a threat to World Wrestling Entertainment. Not only did the ratings for all WWE related programs continue to drop, they were heading towards a financial disaster. On an episode of RAW in early May, Vincent Kennedy McMahon stood next to his daughter Stephanie to announce, effective immediately, NXT and the performance center were closed for business. Not realizing how many fans they would lose with this move, the NXT roster was put on inactive for the time being. Total Divas on the E! network got cancelled not shortly thereafter. Things continued to go bad for Vince and his company, and by the end of May, avoiding a financial disaster, Vince relinquished his position as the chairman to his daughter and son-in-law, Triple H. Triple H started using the former NXT roster and proved to be an excellent booker, but the company was in such bad financial shape, which caused the WWE to quickly crumble and die by the end of June.

For the first time in decades, the McMahon family no longer ruled the wrestling industry. While many former WWE Superstars and Divas were wrestling (although not signed anywhere) on either Lucha Underground, ROH, or went overseas to Japan, one select group of veterans decided to give it a go with the financial support of Stan Kroenke of Kroenke Sports Enterprises, who then decided to bring along Terry Bollea so he could get a better idea on how to properly run the organization along with the veterans. Together, they financed a global wrestling promotion with the Performance Facility being located in Orlando, Florida, and the headquarters being located in Tampa, Florida. World Elite Wrestling was born. The co-founders and members of the Board of Directors are none other than:

PRESS RELEASE
August 15, 2016


On Friday August 19, Saturday August 20 and Sunday August 21, Soundstage 21 at Universal Studios Orlando will rumble once again!

World Elite Wrestling, the newest big professional wrestling federation, founded by a couple of the industry’s veterans will soon make it's debut at Soundstage 21 at Universal Studios, located in Orlando, Florida.

“It was an easy decision to set-up World Elite Wrestling at Soundstage 21 in Florida, “ Vice President of Marketing, Christopher Irvine, also known as Chris Jericho said. “Since WWE went under, all the fantastic facilities at the site weren’t used.”

World Elite Wrestling’s debut will be held over three days. The three day event will be titled “ELITE KICKOFF – where it all begins … again!” and it will culminate into the promotion crowning its inaugural WEW World Heavyweight Champion. “World Elite Wrestling is, despite all the talent involved, an upstart promotion for now but will soon be the new top promotion in the industry, that should be treated carefully. Every member of the Board has put a significant amount of money into this project, and we don’t want to blow it all in one shot. So, the decision was made to host an event to raise our stock and to let all the pieces fall in place,” Steve Borden, once known as Sting. “We first want to get this core following, before we take it to the next level,” Chris Irvine told us, “television shows and PPV events will be hosted at a later stage in our existence.”

The seven members of the Board of Directors have each chosen 3 men that will compete at “ELITE KICKOFF”. Night one will see them take on each other in triple threat matches, where the winners will advance to night two. There, they will have one-on-one matches with the superstar that wasn’t involved into the decision on night one. On night three, all ‘losers’ will get a second chance in an epic battle royal match, with the winner advancing and joining the seven other winners from night two, in an 8-man knock-out tournament. The last man standing will be crowned the first ever Elite Wrestling Heavyweight Champion.Tickets per night are priced at 25 dollars, with combi-tickets available for 65 dollars for the entire 3-day event. Gates of Soundstage 21 will open on Friday, August 19 at 5 p.m.
