Draygun's GWF

[draygun072]

After much debate with myself I've finally decided to do a complete reboot. With all of the "alternate reality" product coming out I decided on doing the reboot with that in mind. I'll be using official cards (some with tweaks and modifications), the L-FSCE cards (tweaked slightly), bootlegs created by others over the years (most of them presented in the "proper" timeline but some some not), and lastly my TXW bootlegs completely revamped as far as timeline goes.

I'll post the setup for this version soon...

[draygun072]

In this "timeline" the UFSP managed to prevent a Galactic war and maintain a relative peace throughout the Galaxy. There have skirmishes here and there that were kept to isolated incidents to include (not limited to) Titan and CTA-102, Earth and Cygnus, Aethra and several other systems. The UFSP has been able to create a Galaxy wide type of government that most systems adhere to and have developed a mixed system military force that deters any all out aggressive campaigns. 

The UFSP Sports Division was created in 2055 with a subdivision in the Combat Sports area. For the most part each star system establishes and runs their own leagues and federations. Most of them come and go but over the years a few have become pretty established.

These include the wrestling feds Scorpius Championship Wrestling (SCW) that was established in 2069;

Alpha Centauri Wrestling Alliance (ACWA) that was established in 2071;

Aran Federation of Wrestlers (AFW) established in 2071;

Cygnus Wrestling Alliance (CWA) officially recognized in 2060 though they claim many centuries;

Titan/Earth Wrestling officially recognized in 2055 by the UFSP though they claim a history that dates back to Earth 1979.

This also includes a few MMA leagues such as Saggita Grasps League (SGL) established in 2060; 

Pleiades Outlaw Wrestling (POW) established in 2055;

Andromeda Combat League (ACL) officially recognized in 2075 though they claim many centuries;

Aethran Combat Training (ACT) officially recognized in 2065 though they claim longer than any other race.

Then in mid 2074 the UFSP brought the heads of these established and successful feds (along with a few other minor feds around the Galaxy) and proposed a Galaxy wide League that would establish Galaxian exposure for each federation that joined the venture. After a couple of months of negotiations the Galaxian Wrestling Federation was established. While each of the feds involved in this project are free to continue as they have been the GWF will be governed by the UFSP and hold precedence over all of them. The establishment of a Galaxian Championship, Galaxian Women's Championship and Galaxian Tag Team Championship that will be defended among the GWF roster as well as members of the individual feds when the GWF tours in their system. The GWF will be seen Galaxy wide on the UFSP Holovision circuit and when the show is touring in a feds system that fed will be seen all over the Galaxy.

The GWF's initial roster will be established from a mix of wrestlers from each fed involved and evolve from there.
The first few shows will showcase tournaments to establish champions and showcase different feds and the new GWF roster in official GWF venues. Then tours will start and alternate as time goes on.

Coming soon, the press conference announcing the establishment of the GWF...

When the Holovision coverage begins the camera is set facing a stage. On the stage is a long table with a podium set in the middle. On each side of the podium there are five seats with a microphone in front. Muffled conversation of dozens of voices can be heard but nothing specific can be made out.

A short bald slightly overweight man in a professional blue suit makes his way to the podium. He is followed by ten others who find there seats at the table. One of them is wearing a black top hat and flashes a metal-filled smile as he sits behind the name plate Jack Hood. Another one ia dressed in a western style leather vest and dons a cowboy hat, his face in need of a shave sits behind the name Backlash. There is a cobra type Animan wearing a flashy overcoat who sits behind Rex Cobra, a Mensan dressed in an over-priced suit sitting behind Cordsar, an Alien with gnarly looking teeth and eyes that appear to sit on stalks coming off his shoulder and dressed in Cygnus battle armor who sits in front of Mangus.  Thakur, the Aethran Prime Minister takes a seat (Most everyone in the Galaxy knows him). A quiet, yet confident looking athletic man dressed in casual street clothes sits behind the name Torin Caleum and next to Omega and Morpheus, the co-founders of Scorpius Championship Wrestling. The last man to sit was Charles Carter, the current Commissioner of Titan/Earth Wrestling.

The voices come to halt as the man at the podium clears his throat.

"Ladies and Gentleman of the press here in attendance and all of those watching across the Galaxy, welcome to Diemos. My name is Ratlick Grael and I am the Director of the Combat Sports Division of the UFSP. I will be brief as I hate long drawn out speeches. The UFSP has come to an agreement with several professional wrestling and mixed martial art companies to form a Galaxy wide organization that will oversee and govern combat sports as we know it. This arrangement will benefit all companies involved as well as establish a Galaxy recognized division. All system-wide leagues will be free to continue their own operations with the support of the UFSP as long as they adhere to the new policies provided by the newly formed Galaxian Wrestling Federation. The GWF will be seen Galaxy wide on the UFSP Holovision network with each of the system-wide leagues being showcased periodically. We will establish a GWF Galaxian Champion, a GWF Galaxian Women's Champion and GWF Galaxian Tag Team Champions with tournaments over the next couple of months. The roster is detailed in your press packets and will be available to everyone else on the Holonet under the UFSP GWF site. Sitting at this table are the UFSP appointed Championship Committee. I will oversee the committee using my vote only for tie breakers. I will now open the floor for a limited amount of questions."

***If any of you that have any questions please feel free to ask as a member of the press to any of the Championship Committee of the Director and I will do my best to answer for them***

[draygun072]

Dateline Monday, 1 October 2074

Coming Saturday, 13 October 2074 live from the Diemos Sports Complex on Mars will be the first ever Galaxian Wrestling Federation Event named GWF Origins. This event will be seen across the Galaxy on the UFSP Holovision Spectrum at 2000 hours Terran System time (Check your local date and time for conversion).

The event will feature first round matches of tournaments to determine the GWF Galaxian Champion, the GWF Galaxian Tag Team Champions and the GWF Women's Galaxian Champion. 

There will be a showcase of the T/EW on the show as well as a title match involving the T/EW Champion.

The card is as follows (All Matches subject to change):

The opening contest will be Igneous from the AFW taking on Chrome from the SGL in a one fall 20 minute match.

Then match 1 of the GWF Women's Galaxian Championship Round Robin Tournament with 4th ranked Desyre from the SCW taking on 2nd ranked Amberscale from the CWA.

Following that will be a first round match in the GWF Galaxian Tag Team Tournament between 3rd ranked Diablo Kill Squad from the ACWA and 6th ranked Mensans from the AFW.

Next will be Match 2 of the GWF Women's Title Tournament pitting the top ranked Shiawatha from the ACWA against the 3rd ranked Siren from the AFW.

A video showcase featuring the T/EW will be immediately followed by a Titan Death Match for the T/EW Championship with the Champion Tex Johnson defending against his long time rival the massive Bayne.

Following that a first round match in the GWF Galaxian Championship tournament with 15th ranked Praveer Singh from the SGL facing the 2nd ranked and also current SGL Heavyweight Champion Torin Caleum. With this being a GWF sanctioned match outside of the SGL territory the SGL Title is not on the line.

Next up is another first round match in the GWF Galaxian Title Tounament with 7th ranked Thakur from the ACL facing 10th ranked and POW Cruiserweight Champion Negre Morte. POW Titles are only defended against POW roster members.

The next contest is the other first round match in the GWF Galaxian Tag Title Tournament with the 4th ranked POW Tag Team Champions Defiance taking on 5th ranked Black Market from the T/EW. Black Market has been lobbying for this to be for the POW Tag Belts but the POW brass (Basically Jack Hood) has denied the request.

Following this is another first round match in the GWF Galaxian Title Tournament that will feature the top ranked and current SCW Champion Omega versus the 16th ranked Dargon, also from the SCW. Dargon is actually the current 2nd ranked contender for the SCW Title behind Omega's rival Morpeus. Dargon has asked for this to be for the SCW Belt and Omega has stated that he would gladly put up the title, however Morpheus has spoke against this happening since he is due a title shot in the SCW before Dargon and this is not in SCW territory. The rest of the GWF Championship Committee backs Morpheus so this is not for the SCW belt.

The Main Event of GWF Origins is another first round match in the GWF Galaxian Title Tournament. This match has already proven to have of a personal tone as the 8th ranked and current T/EW United States Champion Ben Shroud has offered to put his Belt on the line against the 9th Ranked and current SGL Cruiserweight Champion Toro Moldovo since he is, in Shroud's words "a worthy contender". Toro has rejected Ben Shroud's offer stating that he wouldn't want to tarnish his stellar reputation with, in his words "a low class title such as that".

The 2nd GWF Event, GWF Origins II, will also be coming to you from the Diemos Sports Complex on Saturday, 20 October 2074 and will feature more first round Galaxian Title Action, the second phase of the Women's Round Robin and more T/EW showcase featuring the T/EW Titan Tag Team Champions and #2 GWF Ranked Paladin Power defending those belts against the #1 contenders, Titan Perfection. The top ranked GWF tag team and current SCWA Tag Team champions, Dorado Sundown will open that show with a match against a top ranked T/EW tag team known as The Devil's Disciples.

Look out for video packages coming in the next few days leading up to GWF Origins and see you at the matches!

[draygun072]

The video opens inside what looks to be a military throne room with elaborate decorations of weapons and art from several different cultures including Andromedan, Eridanus, Maxus, and Kroll. Soft overtones of Aethran classical music can be heard in the background. Thakur appears in the shot dressed in the Aethran Prime Minister uniform and a large crown and takes his place on the throne.  He glares into the camera for a long moment before going on a loud and braggadocios tirade about being above having to compete in a tournament with inferior peasants to claim what should rightfully be handed over to him in the first place.  He bad-mouths his first opponent as being too small to be in the ring with a great Aethran. Then he turns his rhetoric toward Aerron who also hails from the ACT claiming the only reason he is allowed to compete in the GWF is because he is no longer welcome in the ACT and he better enjoy his short run while he can because after Thakur claims his prize in this unjust tournament he will make it his priority to retire Aerron.  Then he plans on showing the Galaxy the superiority of the Aethran culture. The music begins to morph into the Aethran anthem and grows louder as the video fades to black.

Dateline Friday, 5 October 2074...

GWF news coming from several sources on the Holonet.

Igneous has been making waves on the social media circuit claiming that the reason he was chosen to be in the first ever GWF match was because of his Galaxy wide fame. That he is going to show the Galaxy what star power truly is.  Chrome has responded that Igneous is in over his head and the match is going to be memorable not only for being the first but also the shortest.


Black Market has been continuously lobbying for their match at GWF Origins to be for the POW Tag Team Titles but so far their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.


Diablo Kill Squad has been spotted on Mensa looking for local teams to slap around as per their usual method of intimidating future opponents from the days in the ACWA.  When GWF media caught up with them all they got were to two of them staring into the camera.  The Mensans have yet to be found for comment on the matter.

Speaking of the ACWA there are rumors of the GWF looking into signing a former multi-time ACWA Champion in the near future. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet but if it's true it could be a pretty big name.

More news as it comes available...

[draygun072]

Dateline: 13 October 2074...One hour before bell time at GWF Origins in the Diemos Sports Complex on Mars.

Several Holonet sources are reporting that the event is sold out with the final attendance being projected to be around 21,000 (For the record this is not the Deimos Intergalactic Arena, it is a smaller venue I made up for this reboot).

The crowd is still arriving as the Holovision crew is still setting up. A few T/EW wrestlers that are not part of the GWF can be seen milling about signing autographs and shooting social media. There are even wrestlers from other promotions scattered around. 

Media from around the Galaxy are setting up at various places. Aethran, Andromedan, Kroll and Maxus media are not at the event. Still no word as to why they are absent though most of the Galaxy can assume why the Aethran Media have no-showed. There is a rumor that Thakur has his own personal media group following him.  More details will be reported as they come available.

*****So I have narrowed it down to two ways to write up the actual cards and am looking for feedback. The first way I will do for the 1st event and that is a "live broadcast style" where I just detail the event as the audience would see it. The second way I will do for the 2nd event is a Holonet "recap" of the event done from the UFSP Holonet news source. Please let me know which style you would prefer to read and I will continue with which one gets the most "votes"*****

[on_the_edge]

To be honest both sound good. I would suggest going with whichever you prefer and/or is the easiest to pull off. In real life I have enjoyed shows by watching them of course but even reading recaps, if done right, can be entertaining.
