Olde Wrestling Federation - The Beginnings:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The scene is an old, gigantic, refurbished and rebuilt barn that's set just on the edge of a small Ohio town ironically named...Speakeasy, Ohio.
This immense red barn is the home arena and offices for the newly organized Olde Wrestling Federation, owned by none other than former President of and the current Chief Justice of the United States - William H. Taft.
Taft, being a longtime fan of wrestling exhibitions, decided to invest in this endeavor at the urgings of his good friend and associate - Judge Hugo Lexington Black whom Taft has entrusted to act as the Olde Wrestling Federation's (or OWF) Commissioner.
Taft also sent his crack clerk, Inky Scoops from Washington to assist Judge Black full time in getting the fed off the ground and trying to make this into a viable and profitable form of sports exhibition and attraction.
The date was January 1st, 1929.
With the first billed evening of wrestling exhibitions set for Friday, February 1st, Judge Black and Inky Scoops were hard at work procuring the services of a staff for the fed, as well as of course a roster of wrestlers.
Well, Inky was really busy...Judge Black just put on a good show pretending to be busy, but above all he always kept an eye on all of the hirings that Inky made. He strictly forbade anyone who he himself thought might have been even remotely a drinker, let alone someone who profited from underground sales.
Let alone and God forbid...a bootlegger...whom he regarded as the foulest creature spawned from hell itself.
With a week or so to go, Inky (and I guess Judge Black), had everything all set...).

Singles & Tag Member Roster Bios :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Sue Jackson - a huge and meanacing bully, a man that is as villainous a looking man as there could possibly ever be. People just absolutely love to hate this gigantic man.
Burly Bill Taylor - a former bouncer (unadmittedly from an actual speakeasy in town) that will team with Big Sue Jackson in the rough and tough team of Murderers Row.
Senator Cameron S. Sheppard - One half of the team of "The Lobbying Legislators of an Anti - Saloon Land" and considered by many to be the Judges top crony and right hand man.
Agent Dick J. Lehart - A large detective from the Prohibition Bureau assigned to the OWF to support and back up the Judge's casue. (But secretly, he's spying on all - even the Judge).
"Felino Blanco" Louis Lyndon - A high flying Luchador wrestler who's dynamic speed, agility and acrobatic offense often thrills and brings the crowds to their feet - a definite fan favorite.
Representative Gavin Q. Volstead - The other half of "The Legislators" tag team and the Judges left hand man; without Sheppard and Volstead, the Judge is completely...unarmed.
Dr. Jacob Omen - A popular con man who peddles a "Magic Elixir", "a cure all for anything that's afflicting you". But, he definitely can wrestle, especially after a hearty swig of Elixir.
Jock Samson - a big fan favorite and rumored to be one of the infamous "Moonshine Men", a group of bootleggers from somewhere deep in the Appalachian Mountains.
Jollyville Jeeper "Clean" - one half of a tag team that often shows off for crowds in attendance via combined feats of strength, Clean loves all of the female attention.
Jollyville Jeeper "Jerk" - the other half of the Jeeper tag team, Jerk is by far the driving force behind the Jollyville Jeepers quest to capture the OWF World Tag Team titles.
Judge Hugo Lexington Black - The OWF Commissioner and adamantly determined to rid Ohio of the evils of alcohol & is not above actually beating the guilty with his own gavel.
Marion Fontaine - a converted bare knuckles boxer from the 5 points section of New York City and former Dead Rabbits gang member, referred to as the "Handlebar Haberdasher".
Matthew Cross - a world renown traveling strongman and a true specimen of endurance and physical fitness, a powerful wrestler and probable fan favorite to win the title.
Nicholas Valentino - an accomplished technical grappler with a strategy that often involves unethical methods of; foreign objects, blatant chokes and even bribing the referee.
Old Timer Jeff King - a brutally honest, outrageously boastful and cantankerous old school shoot fighter who has already told Judge Black to just give him the title now.
The Bearded Lady - Ms. Mary Elizabeth Monroe, most women are tougher than they look, The Bearded Lady is no exception, she is a pioneer & is looking to make a statement.
