WIWF - What If Wrestling Federation

[Bri]

Hey Pariah,

Me too! They are the 2119 (New Beginnings) versions and I have a feeling they are gonna raise hell.

Thanks for following along and the encouragement.

I am having an absolute blast running this, I'm enjoying this game 4 or 5 times more than I usually do, which was a lot to begin with.

There's a lot brewing in this universe.

More to follow.

Thanks amigo.

Love the fed. I've long been a fan of mixing fictional and real wrestlers, as its a lot of fun. There can be some wacky match ups, but in the end, its all just wrestling. Loved the Hack-Mayhem U'leashed match up, that was the kind of match that can seem crazy on paper, but when you run it, its just fun. I've had a long-time feud (years now) in my world between Godsend and Magnum TA, that just seems to never die. Again, seems "kooky" on paper, but these things just click (and it doesn't hurt that I've always imagined Godsend as a Flair-type).

I guess the bottom line is, if we can accept that Frank Gotch (who is obviously long since dead) can compete in the same ring with DDP, for example, then we can accept a "real" wrestler competing against a fictional one.

Anyway, great stuff, really digging this!

Hi Stu, thanks very much for the kind words, and well put sir! My sentiments exactly.

Godsend - Magnum TA sounds like one serious match up, let alone feud.

I started out playing this game with just the Legends Starter set, and stayed with that faithfully until Lou Thesz was available, that was the begging of an absorption of basically all of the product lines.

Once I had a little of all, I just had to try to figure out how to aim all of these wrestlers at each other. Once I started doing that, this fed just started evolving by itself.

Very glad you dig brother.

Happy Friday, Bri.

From the deepest dungeon inderneath their North American Head Quarters:

The largest and most prestigious wrestling federation on the earth, had its guarded secrets. But when its most guarded secret escaped from their dungeon, also went with him the reason why the talks with the WIWF fell apart. No talent sharing would ever take place, let alone a merger, and the prisioner could care less. He thought, they would surely blame the WIWF for the jailbreak...whatever. Gotta do what I gotta do. The guards will heal, even fractured necks. He quickly headed south to New York City. He knew a guy on the lower east side who could help him with a passport, a nice chunk of change to get started, as well as temporary lodging on Mars in order to get on his feet. Traveling under a long back sweatshirt with a hood, jeans and shades, he boarded the Whitehall Spaceport Shuttle that made round trips from lower Manhattan and The Center Of The Universe. Talked with a cool dude also traveling up there. The prisioner said he's going up there to try to join up with the WIWF, hoping they would sign him even though he never wrestled, said he's going to be wrestling under the name "Revenge". Then he said, as he cracked open a large beer, "WIWF, here I come...get ready".

[Pariah]

Not sure who this Prisoner is, but I feel like I should... Gotta feeling he's gonna represent big problems for someone... Very exciting!

[Bri]

Hey Pariah,

Yep, now that he's free, he is going to bring chaos and hellraising to a couple of feds at the same time.

Im glad you are enjoying and many, many thanks for following along!

Match # 4 Mens Singles Division

"Solar Flair" with She Devil and Magnus Colby vs Commander Sam

As Commander Sam came through the curtains, the song that his friend Latasha had picked out for him came blasting out over the arenas pa system, "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden. This was Commander Sam in his prime, locked, loaded and dangerous. No drama, just business. As he paced back and forth awaiting this wrestler he had never heard of before, then it began. The lights slowly dimmed, a single spotlight shown on spaces where the curtains parted and, "Fanfare For The Common Man" blasted out over the pa. In the spotlight appeared She Devil with a rolled up red carpet in her arms. She placed it on the ground in front of her, grabbed one end and flicked both wrists making the carpet roll down the ramp and stepped to one side of the curtain and positioned both arms as if she were presenting the Champion of the fed. Next thru the curtains stepped "Solar Flair", wearing a blinding, sequined flourescent white robe, complete with tassels and feathers, with arms raised out triumphantly as if to suggest he was some sort of God. Commander Sam thought to himself - whoever this nut is, he is about to come up against some harsh reality. Then he said to the ref (The Shroud), "hey man, tell his highness to hurry up, theres only so much vomit I can swallow". As "Solar Flair", slowly made his way down the ramp, with She Devil in front and a proud, cigar smoking, briefcase holding Magnus Colby behind him, he thought to himself, - What a genius I am, Ric Flair, posing as somebody from another planet who was cloned from Ric Flair, hiding in plain sight, none of them will find me.

As Sam and Flair locked up, Flair using his experience and agility quickly took control of the match. In typical Flair strategy, he started to go after Sam's legs with knee clips and knee breakers. Unbeknownst to all, except announcer Gorilla Ventura, Magnus Colbys rumored girlfriend Fhanna, was slowly walking down the ramp towards the ring. Flair now cocky and expecting this to be more of an exhibition than a challenge, started strutting around the ring even while Magnus kept shouting, "Finish Him". No one was more suprised than Flair when Sam mounted a comback, quickly body slamming him twice and a stunning superplex that enabled Sam to get a two count cover on Flair. While Sam started to strut a little getting a huge reaction from the croud, Magnus got wothin earshot of Flair, pointed to Sam and said, "He doesn't think this is an exhibition, he thinks this is for the title!...cut out all of that crap and finish this!". What followed was a reversal of the opening part of the match, Sam started to overpower Flair with double fists, cobra clutches and Commander Sam Slams. During this part of the match, Fhanna and She Devil had a war of words at ringside which quickly escalated into a shoving match and Fhanna trying to choke She Devil with her own whip. Sam scored 6 near pinfalls against Flair, but he was always able to either kickout, place his foot on the rope or grab the rope. When Flair could, he still went after Sams knees and legs. Then the tide turned, Sam hit Flair with a crippling superplex. As Sam went for what was sure to be the final pin attempt, the referee and everybody else were distracted by the head scssors She Devil had on Fhanna on top of the recently vacated time keepers table. Magnus Colby saw his chance and wasted no time, he quickly swung his metal briefcase thru the ropes and hit Sam in the temple, knocking him off of Flair. Here Flair had to reach down deep to keep going, he knew what he had to do. He dragged the bleeding Sam to the center if the ring, clamped in the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK and eventually, Sam tapped out. Ringside, She Devil and Fhanna had gotten into an epic brawl, even knocking over the announcers table. When they were finally separated, challenges of all sorts were being issued, Sam wanted a cage rematch, She Devil and Fhanna wanted to tear each other apart, Magnus Colby was the only one smiling at this time.

Match # 5 Mens Singles Division

Lope vs Bigfoot

Lope gave The Shroud the creeps, he looked like GWF legend Wolf, but more savage and more...predatory. He sat perched on top of the top ropes in the ring corner opposite from the direction of the ramp that leads up to the locker room. The Shroud thought to himself, Lope's eyes are what haunted him, they looked completely unnatural. Through the curtains walked Lope's opponent Bigfoot and his just appointed manager, Vin Strutter. Strutter kept yelling into a megaphone about everybody was about to see the most amazing and overpowering wrestler of all time, what the people of the Earth are now calling the 9th Wonder Of The World, but all the while, Lope and Bigfoot never took there eyes off of each other.

When they locked up, Lope instinctively knew, he's too strong to go toe to toe with, going to have to dance around him, cut him up and sweep the legs. Bigfoot instinctively knew that his opponent was much faster and much more agile than he was...if he can just catch him, then it will be over. As they locked up Lope was all over Bigfoot, mainly by sweeping the legs and his version of ground and pound, Pounce and Shred. But when Bigfoot did either catch up to him or make superhuman comebacks, he overpowered Lope via punches to the temple, viscious eye rakes that occasionally drew blood and pounded him with both fists. Lope then lured it outside the ring and brawled and clawed at him repeatedly. But no matter what Lope did, Bigfoot kept coming back at him and ultimately after hitting his finisher, ABDUCTED where in he completely rag dolled Lope, ending with a spinning neckbreaker and scoring the 3 count over Lope.

Jim Solie - Added to the combatants for the Commissioner Battle Royal will, oddly be our new referee, the man only known to us as The Shroud. It is rumoured that he may actually have been a former world champion in the GWF, but as more is known about him, we will keep you posted. The owners have decided to now institute a Womens Commissioner for their division, to be decided by an 8 Womans Commissioner Battle Royal. The first participant has been announced and will be Sherri Martel.

From his penthouse hotel room, the man from Brymstone is speaking via video conference to his wrestlers Cutthroat and The Beast:

Man from Brymstone - "Gentlemen, you have been signed to compete in the WIWF Tag Team Division. Since you are the representatives of the Unholy, we know you will do what you both do best, in a single word - dominate".

Cutthroat - "How did the meeting with the Owners go? Can we trust this man named The Dark Menace?"

Man from Brymstone - "The Dark Menace is my pawn and when the time comes he may be sacrificed as pawns often are. Do you know what keeps people like him obidient?.....Fear!...(Which gets a sneer from both Cutthroat and the Beast) As far as the Owners are concerned...you are speaking to the man who ownes 51% of the WIWF and the Center Of The Universe, small price to pay for my silence regarding them fixing the largest lottery winning in the universe...ever. If that were ever made public...the owners...and even the entire planet of midgets that they come from way out in the Andromeda system...would be plundered in a multitude of ways...everything...is falling in place according to plan."

Match # 3 Womens Division

Thrash vs Penny Banner

The match started with Thrash refusing a pre-lockup handshake from Banner. The crowds at the WIWF Arena are now more mixed than before, not predominantly fans from Earth. For this match, there were plenty of Aethrans as well. The beginning of the match saw Thrash, ddt, chokeslam and piledrive Banner with ease. Banner was no stranger to pain, and much tougher than she looked. But the slurs and insults that Thrash hurled at her made her blood boil. Banner, fueled by rage quickly turned the tables on Thrash, via flying dropkicks, airplane swings and Boston Crabs. Banner was almost disqualified when she hurled Thrash out of the ring, and blasted her in the head with the ring steps. When they both got back inside the ring to avoid countouts, the two of them just stared at each other. Thrash then said something to Banner and in response, she nodded her head. Gorilla Ventura asked Jim Ross what was said, and Jim replied that she said, "I take that back". The last part of the match was back and forth, but in the end Thrash executed her FEMME FATAL Finisher (press slam into a gut buster drop), and she was able to hook the leg for the three count. During this match, both wrestlers were starting to win over some of their oponents fans. After Thrash got up off of Banner, she held out a hand to Banner to help her up, which Banner accepted.

Match # 3 Mens Tag Division

Fist and Probation with The Leveler vs The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering.

Hawk and Fist were the first wrestlers to start the match. The Overmaster advised Fist and Probation to work on Hawk and keep Animal out of the match as much as possible. Fist and Probation did just that, they both worked on Hawk and Fist kept trying to put Hawk away with his WEAPONS finisher (breakneck speed kicks and chops and a cover). But try as he might, cutting up Hawks face and forehead in the process, Hawk kept kicking out. After a while he started licking his own blood and sneering at Fist and Probation, who both thought he was somewhat nuts, but at the same time, they respected his tenacity. By keeping Animal basically out of the match and timely interferences, Fist ultimately pinned Hawk after hitting his WEAPONS finisher for the 5th time. Probation was just strong enough to contain Animal from Interfering and The Leveler had blasted Ellering back through the ropes while he has trying to save Hawk. After the pinfall an all out brawl occurred. Ellering attacked Fist, Hawk attacked Probation and Animal attacked the Leveler. The arena just erupted, no less than 20 security guards charged the ring, it looked like a demilitarized zone. When the situation was eventually back under control, the security in teams escorted both teams one by one back to the locker room areas. Fist and Probation had won the match and were moving on, but the Road Warriors left their mark and Animal had a souvenir, he had ripped the cannon arm off of the Leveler.

Jim Solie - Two weeks from this coming Sunday night at 8pm, live from the exclusive Red Forehead Restaurant right here at the Center Of The Universe, The WIWF presents a book signing with one of its recently signed wrestlers from Earth, Revenge. His autobiography is the first book published by the WIWF and it's a must for all, it's a tale of blackmail, tranquilizers, false imprisionment, jailbreak, escape and most of all Revenge. For only 19.95, no home in the galaxy Should be without - The Book Of Revenge - 3:16

From The Miami Florida Spaceport:

The states of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina were the victims of two simultaneous torrential hurricanes, the damage done to these states were catastrophic. State of emergencies, national guard, army, volunteers were all in effect; these southern states and the country were doing all they could to recover. Life had them down for the count, and they all sure needed something to bost their spirits, pick them up and give them someone to root for. They needed another hero. He had retired, out of frustration and because of the legalities that restricted him. He had also lost an awful lot in the storms, he was discouraged and decided to just circle the wagons and take life a day at a time. But then it all started with one little girl, a fan, she started a Go Fund Me Page without him even knowing it. Word quickly spread, from neighbor to neighbor, "he was there for us - let's be there for him". It went as far as Michelle Obama, who was able to help sort out (above board) any legalities standing in the way. Beyonce even reworked an older song and recorded it for this cause specifically. 50,000 people went to what was left of his home and said, we raised this for you, go up to The WIWF and show em how its done, you will be doing it for all of us, we love you and we need you. He was overwhelmed, completely. He choked back the tears and said, since you have done this and yall believe in me, I want to show you that I believe in you, we are going to get thru the difficult and we are going to do it - Together!!(He Shouted). 2/3 of what I make wretlin, is coming back to all of you.

As he walked through the spaceport with only a large black duffle bag that he held over his shoulder, people in the terminal cheered him on, to which he responded by pumping his fist high in the air. They put the wind back in his sails and he IS answering the bell that they just rang specifically for him.

Over the music speakers put in the terminal for peoples enjoyment, could be heard part of the song Beyonce sang for him:

"The Only One Who Could Ever Move Me...Was The Son Of A Plumber Man..."

Match # 6 Mens Singles Division

Kevin Steen vs Omega Of Cetus

This was the first match where The Shrouds actions and even reactions were noticable and him remaining partial came into question.

Omega's agility and speed completely caught Steen by suprise and quickly Omega gained the upper hand. This match was almost over within the first minute. Omega executed a perfect Cetus Suplex on Steen and hooked the leg for the cover. Steen kicked out at what most would say; was a 2 and 1/2 count as well as being a long 2 & 1/2 count. Omega tried to argue with the Shroud but he ignored him. Omega continued to command the offense, especially with his Indian Death Locks and Abdominal Stretches. Before Omega could execute his finishers, Steen slid out of the ring and appeared to go down on all fours. When Omega got to him outside the ring, Steen had spun around and started choking Omega with what appeared to be a somewhat undone white turban that also had a pink feather attached to it. (When Steen appeared to have collapsed by the side of the ring, he was actually looking underneath the ring for a weapon and found a turban). The Cetus faithful in the crowd as well as some of the fans from Earth were calling for a disqualification. But The Shroud started counting both out of the ring, with a big smile on his face. Steen dragged Omega back into the ring and wasted no time executing a devastating PACKAGE PILEDRIVER on Omega. Steen hooked the leg and got what most thought; was just barely a three count as well as a fast three count.

Match # 7 Men's Singles Division

Chaos Supreme vs Sammael The Morningstar

Magnus Colby looked as though he could have taken over the world, as he led the 7' near 400 pound spectacle thats called Chaos Supreme into the ring. He thought to himself, watch Chaos and Flair face each other in the championship match. All of a sudden, something that resembled a black hawk was strafing the crowds at ringside freaking many people out. It was flying so fast, it was hard to tell what it was. When it landed, and perched itself on the corner turnbuckle, you could see it was a very large bat. It then suddenly and quickly transformed into a 6'1", 235 pound wrestler who looked like a death metal singer wearing a t-shirt that said - Still Better Than You on it.

When the match got under way, Sammael, with unbelievable agility and surprising strength caught Chaos in an airplane spin and drop. However this only annoyed Chaos who slapped the canvas with both arms producing a sound that sounded like a cannon being fired. He overpowered Sammael with his Chaos Stronghold and Indestructible Drop, which set up a life threatening BOW OF DEFEAT. After the match, spectators at ringside confirmed that in addition to the sound of the impact, a large crack sound could be heard when Chaos rammed Sammael sideways and back first into the turnbuckle. Then something occurred that is rarely seen, Chaos hooked the leg, but scored a no count. How Sammael was able to comeback from that was unbelievable. From that point on, he basically controlled the offense. His speed and endurance were off the charts. Magnus interfered where he could, including reflecting the arena lights off of his exceptionally shiny steel briefcase into the refs eyes and trying to stick Sammael in the head with his lit cigar, but he couldnt sway the inevitable. Chaos didnt go down easy, (6) 2 count kick outs but in the end, Sammaels THE LIGHTBRINGER finisher (a 450 degree splash), enabled him to score the three count and advance on towards the title.

Jim Solie - Ex WIWF referee Snafu has been signed to compete in the mens singles division. He was in training for his first match when it was reported that it had to be slightly postponed. Because for reasons unknown, he had thrown himself down 2 flights stairs. More on that, as it develops...while the specifics are still being worked on, manager discussions on the particulars of the Manager Of The Year award process turned ugly as well as destructive, as a result a Stable Battlezone Match Tournament will be forthcoming.

From the North American Headquarters of The Largest Fed On Earth:

Father - "I don't know how that son of a bitch did it...but he's loose. We have to get that pain in the ass back here and under wraps...I just know he went to that freakshow on the Moon...Son Of Mine...I leave it to you to figure out how to get him back here and who does it".

Son - "No worries Pop...you need to get that vein on your head checked...I have the solution...If I were him...I would definitely go to the WIWF"

Father - "Damn it that Fed Name bothers me"

Son - "As I was saying...I would go there and wrestle under a different name definitely...and if I wanted to screw us...I would go public about the dungeon"

Father - "Bastard!"

Son - "Heres the idea...you and I both know there's only one choice as to who could bring him back...we talk to the WIWF owners...if he's there...we make it worth everybody's trouble...and make A TON of money in the process..."

Father - "Go On.."

Son - "we arrange for a special challenge match between him and my wrestler..."

Father - "You're Wrestler!?!

Son - "Sorry..You're Wrestler Pop".

Father - "Thats right...Go On".

Son - "If he wins, we tear up his contract and he's free......Pop...are you ok?..."

Father - "...I need a minute...gotta...sit..."

Son - "But if our wrestler wins...He becomes our property for the rest of his life...he works exclusively for you...and he legally cant say a word...while simultaneously we add a chapter to your autobiography and lay out for all the world, now even the universe about what difficulties you've had mentoring him and him turning on you...etc.."

Father - "I agree with your choice of wrestler...I can tell who you are talking about...but let me make this perfectly clear...he doesnt really like me...much, much more loyal to my father than me...he can probably beat him...but he must not find out about the dungeon...if he does...then we will have a nuclear situation here..."

Son - "The veins back...Not to worry...I will make all the arrangements"

Father - "This had better work...Son Of Mine..."

As the son exited his fathers office, he made his way down the hall to his office and said to his secretary..."Sarah...please set up a meeting with myself and Mr. Sammartino as soon as possible..."yes sir" she said.

He then looked at himself in his mirror on his wall and saw a new huge vein on his forhead.
