Global Wrestling Alliance (The Story of The Celluloid Heroes of 1960 - A Fed in Black, White & Gray):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Background:
-------------------------------
Commissioner Ed "Strangler" Lewis has put together a dream promotion - The Global Wrestling Alliance, consisting of a roster of 36 hand picked wrestlers (who will also comprise 18 tag teams) during the year 1960, for an Owner who for the time being, wishes to remain anonymous.
A combination of domestic as well as international stars who for one reason or another (and in some cases for multiple reasons) have decided to abandon their current federations for the opportunities and promises offered by Lewis's brand new promotion which include and/or involve; ultimate competition, money, prestige, the spotlight, womanizing, extreme pomposity, for a few wrestlers - the starting of careers, unleashing severe amounts of pain and savagery, avoiding underworld entanglements, one wrestler deep in hiding, proving themselves, in some cases to mentor, as well as two most very improbable returns to the ring. They range in ages from 16 thru 66.
The Venue:
----------------------
All of the bouts are being held at The Sunnyside Gardens Arena in Queens, New York. Apparently the arena, as of very recently is now strictly a professional wrestling arena - even closed off to professional boxing. All Commissioner Lewis knows about it is that The Owner has made arrangements to make it so.
The Sanctioned Title Belts:
------------------------------------------------
▪ Global Wrestling Alliance World Champion.
▪ Global Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team
Champions.
The Challenge:
----------------------------
In order to become either the inaugural World Champion or the World Tag Team Champions, it's simple (according to Commissioner Lewis)...just dont loose.
The last face and heel singles wrestlers and tag teams to remain undefeated will square off against each other to become the inaugural champions of the GWA.
Owners Final Words To His Commissioner:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before entrusting Ed Strangler Lewis to staff his roster, as well as his federation:
The Owner - If you want to give...that dear friend of your's one more chance at glory...where absolutely nobody else...on this planet will now...then above all else...you must sign...Him...
Ed Strangler Lewis - Him?...Wait...You Mean...That Him?...He'll never switch from the old fed...there's just no way...
The Owner - If you want you're man here...as well as a job at all...then you...have to sign...Him...we both know...You...are the only man he will listen to...so...find...a way...
Commissioners Pivotal Signing:
--------------------------------------------------------
Strangler Lewis - (From his office underneath the arena) - With you here...it changes everything...people as well as wrestlers will be coming out of the friggin...woodwork to see you...let alone try to kick your ass...
Him - (Thinks for a long time) - I am not...a fan...of your boss...
Strangler Lewis - I hear you...I have my moments too...
Him - (Thinks longer ) - I'm in...but it's gonna cost him...and not just cash...
Strangler Lewis - He knows...And I know the politics is startin to get to you at The NWA...
Him - (exhales deeply) - If it wasn't you...doin the askin...
Strangler Lewis - I know...and even He knows...might even be why he approached me in the first place actually...
Him - Also...He's gotta let not only John...but Jim back...otherwise...ain't no deal...
Strangler Lewis - I can swing that...I'll make him bend...Thanks Lou...I owe you.
Lou Thesz - (Thinks about it further) - No...my friend...I owe you...
