Prominent Wrestling Organization (PWO) was a professional wrestling e-federation promotion which was founded by Matthew Moreno in December 2008, promoting prominent wrestling (written) action and roleplaying, while featuring its sole weekly written flagship telecast, Takedown and sporadic tri-monthly spectacular Faceoff along with its monthly pay per views.

After brief ownership by Moreno, due to circumstances beyond his control, relinquished the promotion over to best friend, Dylan Sanders. Sanders operated PWO making regular appearances on-screen as well.

PWO presented itself as a highly interactive e-federation, incorporating as many features to remain an attraction including consistent rankings, radio programs, various games, chatbox, and a graphics shopzone and remains a very considerable selection to apply literary craft. On May 31, 2009, PWO ceased operations briefly before returning in the fall, with a deal in place to merge the company with Evolution Wrestling, finalized in February of 2010 to form Evolution Pro Wrestling.

PWO Takedown Banner

Promotional banner for PWO's flagship program, PWO Takedown.

In December 2008, a wealthy Matthew Moreno founded Prominent Wrestling Organization (PWO). Moreno envisioned a plan for the promotion, one that would exhibit that wrestling was more than just entertainment. Moreno proceeded to call his best friend, Dylan Sanders aboard, who after reaching a mutual agreement was hired as the General Manager. Shortly however, Moreno was faced with obscure reasons that led him to relinquish his office to Sanders in good faith. He also contacted another comrade in Jonathan Garcia to fulfill a Vice Presidential role.

Sanders proudfully went on and formulated the promotion, recruiting prominent talent such as Maverick, Michael Santiago, and Celeb Houston to match the first name of the promotion and sketched out his depiction of PWO to ensure success. Sanders devised a weekly televised (written) program for airing, which on January 20, the initial episode aired of Takedown.

The first edition of Takedown outcame as a successful show, sending the promotion ahead with a solid fanbase while several more signings lined up as PWO acquired Andrew Watts, Ryan Mackenzie and more. From the time PWO began, Sanders had made himself an on-screen boss personality, characterized as good-natured president until uncontrolled chaos beyond his order forced him to take a fierce, no-bull attitude, becoming power-abusive heel.

It is rumoured that Sanders new attitude combined with PWO's rapid growth soon became too much for the company to handle. Ultimately, the pressure of running the company became too much for Sanders (or anyone) to handle. Shortly after his departure, the investors soon left and PWO was forced to declare bankruptsy.

Style and Operation[]

PWO is formatted as an roleplay e-federation, with acceptance of solely original realistic characters with the policy applying within roleplays as using your character such as on non-fiction television programs with infamous notorieties are prohibited to retain some realism in such fantasy wrestling genre. Roleplay effort is completely subject to evaluation by an elemental criteria scale ranging from quality, description, interest factor, creativity, originality, and match relevance. These key factors are essential and weigh in crucially on the score of your roleplay. Sandbagging is a discouraged action which gains deduction points for your roleplay and if continuous, meets penalty as does utilizing someone's character be it staff or member without permission. There is a rule of one roleplay per 12 hour period.

Time is valued in PWO, whereas, only two roleplays are required in maximum submission for a regular weekly show Takedown (except the week before pay per view), while three is the total amount for a pay per view. No-showing twice on any show without prior notice consecutively will lead to termination of application. Roleplays are bound for the review and scoring of staff involved with the management of the e-federation, but are ultimately reserved for the final judgement contributed by the owner or "fedhead".
