Decided it was finally time to post my personal eFed on here! If you're interested in any of my federations lore, click the spoiler below.
ELEMENT PRO WRESTLING is a pro wrestling organization based in Seattle, Washington originally founded by Japanese wrestling legend Element Takamura and his business partner John J. Wilson.
Wilson, a business tycoon who amassed a small fortune off the back the success from his television network TAGN (The Anything-Goes Network) met the famous puroresu star Takamura while on a media buying trip to Osaka. The two become instant friends, as Wilson, a life-long wrestling fan, finally saw a way to tap into the international wrestling market. Wilson's idea was to use Takamura as entry to OLIVE JAPAN boardroom, in hopes of becoming an investor in the blossoming japanese wrestling organization. Takamura had other plans. With his body breaking down from countless death matches and title reigns, Takamura saw his time with OLIVE JAPAN coming to an end and convinced Wilson to scrap the notion of investing in his former home organization. He had a new idea. Invest in a new organization. ELEMENT PRO WRESTLING.
Initially, the plan was to acquire the best wrestling talent from across the globe. Things would not be this easy. Two months after Takamura announced his retirement from OLIVE JAPAN and the launch of ELEMENT PRO, tragedy struck. John J. Wilson was murdered in cold blood outside of a casino in Tokyo in the early hours of the morning. The killer sped off on a motorcycle and was never found or identified. As you can imagine, rumours of who the killer was, the motivation behind the murder and the future of ELEMENT PRO soon found their way to the dirtsheets. After losing his best friend and the financial backer of ELEMENT PRO, Takamura was forced to improvise.
With a limited budget and a black cloud over his head, Takamura quickly turned to help from questionable brands and unsavoury characters to help him fuel and finance the organization. The most notable being a lifetime sponsorship deal with White Castle that would see their logo feature in the middle of the mat at every ELEMENT PRO house show and TV taping.
