Love that you’ve got regional feds going on now this is Golden State Wrestling. Am guessing GSW is still considered the biggest. Do you plan to have champions of each territory face each other in the future and have an overall World champion or keep them separate? Or maybe the GSW champion tour the other feds from time to time?

Thanks for checking it out.

GSW is the biggest but Memphis and Portland are in the same universe.  I defiantly plan to have big combined cards, a tag tournament is definitely on the bill.  And, yeah, I’m considering a traveling champion (and tag champions) as an excuse to use a few cards that aren’t in the other feds.

The Spoiler is staring across from me,
With a sour look on his face.
But I have to admit he’s mighty,

As much as my strength and might’ll.
Maybe if Spoiler had fought Jim Duggan that way
He’d still have the TV Title.

Cool card. I literally just watched your booking video and you pondering this card. Then straight away see the results! Good to hear the Mulkeys put up a fight and didn’t get totally squashed. I think Iron Sheik could be a real threat to the Heavyweight title
