EVOLUTION of HONOR

[lucifer]

I've decided to shut down my Filsinger Wrestling Alliance. Despite my best efforts, trying to run 5 separate promotions under the same banner proved to be quite overwhelming & damn near impossible!

Therefore, I've decided to try something new...

What if Ring of Honor took it's rightful place as the premier wrestling promotion in the world? And what if the stars of ROH never left, as they were already employed by the biggest company in "the business"? Surely, it would need a developmental promotion to groom future "superstars" that would strive to get the call-up to the "main roster", correct?

That's where I came up with the idea for Evolution of Honor...

Imagine ROH playing the role of WWE, and EVOLVE as it's NXT...

ROH will be presented as a weekly 2 hour television show, with all events emanating from the DuBurns Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. In addition, much like WWE, my ROH fed will also present 12 monthly PPV's, emanating from different arenas throughout North America. ROH championships will include World, World television & World tag team titles.

EVOLVE will also be presented as a weekly television show, running for 1 hour & with all events emanating from The Orpheum, in Ybor City, Florida. (Apparently Full Sail University was unavailable, but hey, at least it's still Florida.) In addition, much like NXT, EVOLVE will hold quarterly "specials" as well. EVOLVE championships will include the EVOLVE title & the Open the United Gate titles. As rosters expand & talent is added, I may add the Open the Freedom gate title as well.

That being said, I present the first rosters for EVOLUTION of HONOR...

Love this idea! This is exactly what I am doing. I have an alternate time line fed for my legends stuff. For all my Indy studd I have a fed called World Wrestling Elite(The WWE initials just happened to be a coincidence), and it consists of my ROH guys, plus a few othe Indy guys. Then I have a fed called Next Level Wrestling(Ok so the "next" part isnt a coincedence), and it's the developmental fed for my WWE. Looking forward to seeing your feds.

I almost used EOH as well.
