Hot off the heels of last night's announcement of the rosters and titles for the newly formed STAR-1 promotion out of Seattle, WA comes another huge announcement. While no date could yet be confirmed as of yet, Eric Dane did want to announce that the first ever STAR-1 event would also see the first annual Rising Stars Cup! In the future the hope is that once a year the brightest up and comers from around the world along with his own Star Factory graduates would come together to see just exactly who is the next big thing, the next Rising Star!

Not only will the RSC be known as the premier tournament for up and coming wrestlers, but this year the winner will also be crowned the first ever S1-MAX Heavyweight Champion! It'll all be on the line as the six singles wrestlers who've graduated from the Star Factory will put it all on the line for STAR-1, and the winner will be the last man left undefeated at the end of the night! The six wrestlers will be seeded by their ranking in the graduating class, and the top two seeds will recieve a first round bye!

1. Erik Ledger
2. Tim Van Pelt
3. Darren Quimbey
4. Jimmy Styxs
5. Aaron King
6. Jonathan Prescott

The tournament brackets will work as follows:

Round 1:

3v6
4v5

Round 2:

1v3/6
2v4/5

Finals:

1/3/6v2/4/5

Also on the show the S1-MAX Tag Team Titles will be on the line as the two graduating Tag Teams and the two younger free agent teams will wrestle in a four-team tournament to crown the first champions! The teams are as follows:

1. Superior FT
2. Pine Street Posse
3. T.K.O.
4. The Judgeheads

Not only will both the S1-MAX Heavyweight and Tag Team Titles be on the line, but there will be at least one special attraction deathmatch on the card! Nothing yet is confirmed, but Eric Dane himself said he was looking for the right opponent and the right deathmatch to make the statement that he wants to make with Star-1 Pro Wrestling! Expect a finalized lineup along with date and ticket information within the next couple of days as the folks behind STAR-1 and www.onlystar1.com strive to bring you the best news about the hottest wrestling action in the world!
