-"I love what EVOLVE does." - HHH at the NXT Brooklyn conference call
Those words started months of speculation as to what, if any, relationship
there is between WWE and WWN. We are all in uncharted waters here and there
is no telling what will happen next. We are all in this together. One of the
more exciting aspects was seeing Sami Zayn in an EVOLVE ring while Johnny
Gargano became a regular on NXT TV. This is going to be a very unpredictable
and fun ride for us all.
-EVOLVE had arguably its best year in history with a focused identity,
unique show formats and acclaimed events. 2016 will already start out with
the next evolution of EVOLVE as we crown our first EVOLVE Tag Team Champions
in a three-day tournament on January 22nd-24th in Ybor City and Orlando, FL.
This will put more emphasis on tag team wrestling in EVOLVE. Go to
www.DGUSA.tv for more info.
-SHINE continued to present serious, athletic women's wrestling with a
series of well received events featuring the top talent from all over the
world. SHINE will strive to raise the bar with in ring action and exciting
storylines featuring the top women wrestlers in 2016.
-FIP solidified it's place in the WWN Family by featuring upcoming talent
from around the United States. This is best exemplified with the Fallout
events, which featured a six man tag team tournament. The tourney saw
athletes representing a multitude of independent promotions with several
breakout performances. FIP will continue to look for breakout stars in 2016.
-ACW joined the WWN Family and became a home for local Florida talent. They
are known for having a hot crowd for their regular events in New Port
Richey, FL, including shows every Wednesday night at Tropical Island Breeze.

-In addition to those core promotions, WWN introduced Viva La Lucha with a
tour of Lucha wrestlers of Florida. We are very excited to bring Viva La
Lucha to the WWNLive Experience in Dallas on April 1st. This is the first
time we've presented a Lucha Libre show on the biggest wrestling weekend of
the year. Go to
www.MoreThanMania.com for info.
-2015 saw an emphasis on establishing New York and Florida as homebases, in
particular La Boom in Queens, NY and The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. Of
course, we always travel to the location of Wrestlemania to be part of the
biggest wrestling weekend of the year. A goal in 2016 is to expand to more
areas.
