We are in the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England for this important press conference conducted by the NWA and President David Crockett …. Crockett and Nigel McGuiness are at the podium and make the announcement that TKO holdings, a subsidiary of ENDEAVOR Group Holdings INC that also includes the UFC, has partnered with the NWA to bring pro wrestling back to the United Kingdom ….
Ari Emanuel, CEO of ENDEAVOR, comes to the podium and says it’s an honor to be accepted into the NWA as its newest member, and for the return of professional wrestling to the United Kingdom with the formation of KINGDOM PRO WRESTLING!
Behind Emanuel, a curtain drops revealing the new KPW logo ….
The creation of KPW, together with the established brand of the UFC, allows TKO Holdings to create a new premium sports entertainment conglomerate that increases the UFC’s exposure in the United Kingdom and Europe as well as returns pro wrestling to a thriving market …. Just like UFC has brought the biggest fights in the world of MMA, the formation of KPW under the NWA banner will bring the biggest fights in the world of wrestling to the UK and all of Europe ….
With that, Ari Emanuel introduces the General Manager of KPW, a man that all wrestling fans are familiar with …. PAUL HEYMAN …. Heyman takes the podium after shaking Emanuel’s hand ….
HEYMAN - “Ladies and Gentlemen …. My name … is Paul … HEYMAN!”
Heyman insists that while people have seen him in an on-screen role with a who’s who among the greatest this sport has ever seen, this time he will be working behind the scenes to manage what will be the deepest and most diverse roster in the NWA and bring you the best product possible …. Mr. Emanuel and the executives at ENDEAVER gave me a blank check to go out and build this roster, and I want to introduce the very first man that I inked to an exclusive deal with KPW ….
Dvoraks 9th Symphony plays over the loud speakers and out walks WALTER!!!! The former NWA National Champion is here in the Empress Ballroom! Heyman looks a little confused as WALTER walks to the podium and shakes Heymans hand …. WALTER puts Heyman over and says he is a very smart man by signing him to KPW …. WALTER repeats the mantra of his Ringkampf school in Germany, saying ‘The Mat is Sacred’ and WALTER is excited to bring a product back to the UK that instills the same values as Ringkampf, unlike the way that the sport of wrestling has been bastardized in other parts of the world ….
Heyman, still looking confused, cuts WALTER off …. He means no disrespect and he takes the time to put Walter over, but says he has to correct him …. He is technically NOT the first signing to BCW
….
‘FINAL COUNTDOWN’ by Europe hits and the fans lose their minds! ‘American Dragon’ BRYAN DANIELSON is here! WALTER looks annoyed …. Meanwhile Heyman, still looking confused, throws up his hands and looks at Ari Emanuel in frustration …. Danielson shows no fear in getting nose to nose with WALTER …. WALTER says he can respect a man like Danielson, but he still comes from a country where wrestling is inferior to the European style …. Danielson says he wants to test that theory, so how bout we make it official? You get your two guys, and I’ve got 2 guys I can call, and we have a 6 man tag match to kick off KPW! …. WALTER smiles …. He accepts the challenge, but promises to break Danielson and whoever he brings with him and show him just which style is superior …. WALTER walks off ….
David Crockett comes back to the podium, shaking Danielsons hand …. Crockett sells the main event for KPW #1, and once again welcomes KPW into the NWA as Crockett and Ari Emanuel take questions from press row ….
