International Generation Pro
(Press Conference)
February 24th 2010
You see a ring with a podium set up in the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, as Bill Apter enters the ring and up to the mic!
BILL APTER: Welcome ladies & gentlemen of the press and respected fans of this sport called pro wrestling! In a moment I will introduce to you the promoter of this new venture in pro wrestling, International Generation Pro! IGP will bring a mix of the best of wrestling from the golden era, to the boom era of the 80’s; to the exiting era that wrestling is today! I give you Raider Duane CEO/promoter of the IGP!
RAIDER DUANE: In a moment I will take questions from you the press. IGP is going to be the new standard in pro wrestling not sports entertainment! The northeast has a rich heritage when it comes to wrestling and it is fitting that IGP will plant its roots here in the northeast and make MSG its home arena! We will in time promote cards in Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and into Toronto, Canada! At this time I would like to announce that the Filsinger Sports Network has jumped on board giving us a 1 hour 9pm time slot on a Thursday night, and giving us 3 live specials a year! To kick off our partnership with FSN we will have a 4 hour live debut which will be held here at MSG! On this debut on FSN you will see the Universal Championship tournament that will crown our top champion! Any questions at this time!
Reporter #1: 1st who will compete in IGP? 2nd will all TV tapings be held at MSG?
RAIDER DUANE: At this time we are still in negations with several wrestlers and when contracts are final I will announce the roster of stars here in IGP. As far as the TV taping we will debut here in MSG but the home for our TV show will be the Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom! Next question please.
Reporter #2: Have you had any talks with Andre The Giant?
RAIDER DUANE: No comment!
Reporter #2: He is the biggest star in the sport!
RAIDER DUANE: Yes he is at 7’5 nearly 500lbs, however Harley Race, Magnum TA, & Rob Van Dam are big stars too with their wrestling ability!
Reporter # 3: The NWA group you started several years back will you be willing to join a promoters group?
RAIDER DUANE: The NWA was great, my fellow promoters was and are still great promoters and well I would just like to get IGP off the ground and kicking butt!
Reporter #4: The WWE, TNA, and other promotions, will they be a threat?
RAIDER DUANE: The WWE is worried about TNA & TNA is worried about the WWE however IGP does not wish to try a battle with either, 1 because they embrace the sports entertainment theory of wrestling IGP is pro wrestling!
Bill Apter approaches the podium!
BILL APTER: Thank you for your time, and we will announce more from the IGP in the coming days!
