Kapoutland Pro Wrestling

History
Kapoutland Pro Wrestling was first founded in late 2004/early 2005 at the Kapoutland message board.(http://www.kapoutland.net) It was a way for the members of the board to participate in an online e-fed. Around June 2005, due to various reasons, the original incarnation of KPW was shut down. The final PPV, which was to consist of a huge Royal Rumble match featuring the entire roster with the winner becoming the KPW World Heavyweight Champion, never took place.

Kapoutman, the original owner of KPW, then passed the reigns over to Reverend Psycho (now known as Psycho James). Psycho was a frequent poster at the WrestleCrap forums. (http://realwrestlecrap.proboards39.com/index.cgi) Psycho planted the seeds for a KPW resurrection with his first show, titled the Kaos Tournament. While this wasn't Psycho's first show written on the boards, that was the Official WrestleCrap Forums Royal Rumble, it was the first one that featured the style of writing and booking synonymous with KPW.

After getting the blessing from Kapoutman, Psycho resurrected KPW and announced the first ever KPW show, National Nightmare. At first, KPW went by the moniker "Kaos Pro Wrestling," but this was a fake name to hide Psycho's intentions. At GWE Crap Bottom, Reverend Psycho laid a beating on GWE owner DMR and introduced everyone to Kapoutman. KPW declared war on GWE and was renamed Kapoutland Pro Wrestling, in homage to the original KPW. This development lead Psycho to create a new home for KPW, so the efed was moved from the WC boards to it's own site.

In the formative months, KPW and GWE both worked together, in sharing talent, and feuded viciously. DMR was fighting off the Ministry of Kapoutman, led by Reverend Psycho. Both men kept getting in each other's way. Psycho went so far as to buy out GWE using a consortium simply to shut it down and kill his opposition. Unfortunately for the Ministry, that didn't quite happen.

While Psycho did fire DMR, that didn't stop him from laying out Psycho at Revolution. DMR challenged him to put GWE ownership on the line in a Hell in a Cell match at KPW Awakening. DMR won and GWE was separated from KPW. Psycho was assaulted by his mentor Kapoutman after the match. While Psycho ran the day to day operations, Kapoutman was still the legal owner of KPW.

Both men fought for control of the company. Eventually, Psycho won out, becoming sole owner of KPW and ridding himself of the Ministry of Kapoutman. KPW was entering a new era which would dawn at the Kaos Tournament. Twenty-four elite athletes vied for the top prize in KPW that night, with DMR winning. However, a mysterious appearance by La Parka would be the precursor to a tragic loss to the company.

Psycho had booked La Parka as one of two mystery opponents in the Kaos Tournament. He fought DMR in the first round, but got disqualified. He then revealed a Ministry of Kapoutman symbol on his attire. Seemingly aligned with Kapoutman, La Parka arrived in KPW, intent on creating turmoil. Soon after this revelation, La Parka vanished, and so did Psycho James.

Citing personal reasons, Psycho James reluctantly resigned from KPW. In his stead, Koko, D2, PrimeTyme and Hannibal took on the day to day operations of KPW. Keith Tundra was brought in as the owner of KPW. At first, fans didn't know what to expect. A press conference naming Keith owner let fans know that this was not going to be pleasant. Keith wanted to take KPW away from its violent ways. For months KPW suffered the tyranny of that old fart. However, the Keith Tundra era of KPW was about to come to an end.

As KPW was primed to go to the next level with a new show, Ignition, the downfall of Keith Tundra was underway. At the end of the inaugural show, the lights went out on Tundra's boastful speech; when they came back, Tundra had been laid out by a mysterious assailant. Through the next few weeks, this mystery man made life miserable to Keith Tundra. Tundra became desperate to rid KPW of this man, so he baited him into a high stakes match at KPW Hungry for Blood. If the masked man wins, Tundra will leave Kapoutland Pro Wrestling. If the masked man loses, he must reveal himself.

At Hungry for Blood, Tundra named himself the participant to face the newly dubbed "Mr. X," but he made the match No Holds Barred, which allowed Homefield Security to do all his dirty work. In a hard fought battle in which Tundra pulled out all the stops, he still lost to Mr. X. After laying out Tundra one last time, the mystery man unmasked, revealing his identity to be Psycho James. He had come home to KPW. The era of Tundra was over and a new era has begun.

KPW will be celebrating its one year anniversary on December 31st at National Nightmare, where it all began. Faces have come and gone. Feuds have ended and new ones are just beginning. But the same spirit that fueled the first incarnation has remained, despite the will of others. Kapoutland Pro Wrestling is alive and well. A promotion known for its huge surprises has never failed to deliver. And while KPW had a tumultuous first year, its second looks to be even crazier.
