A/N: I've always wanted to try to do one of these fanfic wrestling shows, but I wanted to be different with mine. So I've come up with a back story introducing the company, including a list of the roster which will be at the end, and going over some of the company's (obviously fantasy) history. This is the first story I've written so try not to be too harsh. Oh, and all the characters are fake people, except me (Andres Valiente).
Hello there, my name is Andres Valiente. I'm seventeen years old and I am the COO of the Platinum Wrestling Elite (PWE). I know what you're probably thinking: "You're way to young to be running the day-to-day operations of a wrestling company", right? Well, I'll have you know that I have literally grown up in this business, so I think it's safe to say that I know what I'm doing.
So, what's Platinum Wrestling Elite? Well, PWE is a professional wrestling promotion that was founded by my Grandfather, Eduardo Valiente, in the year 1957. During the 1960s and 1970s, he would turn the sport of pro wrestling from just a carnival sideshow, into a global phenomenon that would see hundreds in attendance and thousands watching at home on television.
In January 1980, he had a vision. A vision that seemed ludicrous to some people at the time, but for him, it was just the next step of success. That vision, was professional wrestling on Pay-per-view. On March 30, 1980, PWE produced pro wrestling's first ever Pay-per-view event: Platinum Glory. It took place from Madison Square Garden in New York City and was seen in all fifty states of America, Canada, and Mexico.
Unfortunately, time caught up with my Grandfather, and on April 2, 1989 at Platinum Glory X, he announced his retirement from the professional wrestling industry at fifty-six years old, after nearly thirty-five years in the business. PWE was officially passed down to my father, Adriano Valiente, on April 3, 1989.
While my Grandfather innovated Pro Wrestling on Pay-per-view, my dad wanted to create a weekly PWE TV show. You see, while PWE had already been on TV, it was more or less TV "specials" that would air every now and then to hype up the Pay-per-views. So, that is exactly what he did. The first episode of PWE Elite TV aired on April 17, 1989.
In late 1996, he decided to take the rest of the 1990s and the early 2000s by storm as he ushered in an era that could only be described by two words: Attitude and Aggression. This period of time saw wrestling boom in popularity so high, professional wrestling was getting the same mainstream attention (sometimes more) than the NFL. This particular boom period ended in 2002.
Anywho, I think that's enough of me trying to boost my company's ego.
To finish this off, I guess I introduce myself a little bit. As I said, my name is Andres Valiente. My dad brought me into PWE when I was fourteen, but I didn't really have much of any role, back then. I mainly do the backstage work; match making, signing the talents, booking the venues, etc. I did, however, "self train" myself, if you will, so I can wrestle on occasion, but I only wrestle on extremely rare occasions.
So that's really it. I didn't want to make this back story too long. I hope you found this interesting and find my shows entertaining. Look out for the first episode of Elite TV right here on in September 2014!
And that's it!. Let me know what you think. Like I said, this is my first time attempting this and I'm nervous. So if this isn't interesting at all, I apologize. Here is a list of the active roster as of September 2014:
