History Of XWE[]

Ruthless Beginnings 2004[]

On June 5, 2004, Jayden Murphy a former member of the board at Pro Wrestling X, founded Murphy Sports, Inc. and on June 12, 2004, purchased Pro Wrestling X Ltd. from Alex Jones and other stock holders (Jackson Banks, Jason Arum , and Tyson Mitchell Sr). Alex Jones had long since established the PWX as one of the most vibrant members of the WWWA. Against his best friend's wishes, Murphy began an expansion process that fundamentally changed the industry.

The XWE was not the only promotion to have broken ranks with the WWWA; the Allstar Wrestling Association (ASWA) had long ago ceased being an official WWWA member (although like the XWE, they seldom left their own territory). However, neither of the defecting members attempted to undermine the territory system that had been the foundation of the industry for more than half a century.

Other promoters were furious when Murphy began syndicating XWE television shows to television stations across the United States, in areas outside of the XWE's traditional California stronghold. Murphy also began selling videotapes of XWE events outside the California Area through his X Sports Video distribution company. He effectively broke the unwritten law of regionalism around which the entire industry had been based. To make matters worse, Murphy used the income generated by advertising, television deals, and tape sales to poach talent from rival promoters. Wrestling promoters nationwide were now in direct competition with the XWE.

Jack Mercer, due to his appearance in Movies, had a national recognition that few other wrestlers could offer, which is what led Murphy to sign him.Chase Owens was brought in, as well as Bo Baker (although Baker rarely wrestled in the XWE at that point due to Injuries that caused his retirement, moving to the commentator booth alongside TJ Tyler) Impact Kid, Jr Souless, Kane Mitchell, Alan Rogue, Shaun Holly, The Great Milenko, and Bullet Runnels rounded out the roster. Mercer was clearly Murphy's biggest star, causing some people to debate whether the XWE could have achieved national success without him.

The XWE would tour nationally in a venture that required huge capital investment; one that placed the XWE on the verge of financial collapse. The future of not just Murphy's experiment, but also the XWE, the WWWA, and the whole industry came down to the success or failure of Murphy's groundbreaking concept, War Games. WarGames was a pay-per-view extravaganza, Murphy's vision was to make the XWE and the industry itself mainstream, targeting more of the general television audience by exploiting the entertainment side of the industry. With the inaugural War Games the XWE initiated a joint-promotional campaign with HBO, which featured a great deal of XWE coverage and programming. The mainstream media attention brought on by celebrities including Oscar De La Hoya, P.Diddy, and Mike Tyson at the event helped propel War Games to become a staple in popular culture.

The original War Games, held in 2004, was a resounding success. This event is sometimes credited as the debut of what Murphy called "The Ultimate Blood Sport entertainment". The XWE did incredible business on the shoulders of Murphy and his all-American babyface hero, Jack Mercer, for the next Year, creating what some observers dubbed a second golden age for professional wrestling.

Fall From Grace 2004-2005[]

HWL, XWE's main Rival at the time countered XWE's rating dominance in Late 2004 with its own Monday night program, HWL Monday Anarchy, broadcast in the same time slot as Impact The two programs would trade wins in the ensuing ratings competition known as the famous Monday Night Wars until mid-2005. At this point, HWL began a nearly year long domination that was largely fueled by the introduction of the Wolfpac , a stable led by former XWE Wrestlers Bullet Runnels, Shad Stewart and Kip Owens.

Attitude Era[]

In late 2005 XWE introduced it's Attitude Era, Fueled by the Arrival of such New Superstars as Sean Mendez, Kane Mitchell,Vazer Vialpondo, Matt Hart, AJ Spears, Evan Jones and Marcus Jackson. During this time XWE Began to push a more over the top and edgy style of wrestling.
