GWF Martial Law 2123
Story Arcs
A New Sheriff Is In Town
With much fanfare a new GWF Commissioner has been named in the form of the mysterious Iron Hand. Claiming impartiality IH has been granted an unprecedented level of power. He is not only active in issuing decrees from afar...but will even step inside the ring in 'Fight The Power' matches to enforce these rules himself (with protective metal armor on for insurance). Time will tell if fans will support the new regime under a guns before butter mentality...or regret the iron curtain era.
Martial Law Is Formed
In one of his first formal acts of power Iron Hand has recruited a team of elite superstars and declares them the Champions of four separate divisions: Monolith (GWF World Champion), Bloodline & Encubus (GWF Tag Team Champions) and Mother Superior (Women's Champion) comprise the super team known as Martial Law.
Iron Hand's Secret Police
To further enhance his power Iron Hand has recruited 'moles' to serve on each GWF team in an attempt to preemptively sabotage any potential threats to his power. Who are these Benedict Arnolds in waiting? No one knows for sure...but there is always the chance they will be outed before damage is done from the inside.
Epoch MIA
Will wonders ever cease? In a vignette involving Dark Menace and Sly Drury it is revealed that Epoch (with the aid of mysterious unnamed cronies) has escaped the protective custody of a cell on the planet Urcos. He has resurfaced with a threatening communication from afar...but has yet to physically returned to the GWF (or so we have been led to believe).
Tauran Ages Backward Into His Physical Prime
As a condition of his unique genetics, Tauran has aged into a
younger man. Along with his improved athleticism have come feelings of less confidence and angst. What happens to a man's state of mind when they keep growing progressively younger? Discover for yourself whether Tauran's physical prime coincides with him upping his mental game...or if the two are bound to conflict.
Anivar: The Underground Man
In a bid to help the hero team fight fire with fire while publicly keeping their hands clean, Anivar organizes an outside hit squad called The Sleeper Cell. Endgame has entrusted Anivar with not bringing harm to his team's image of leading by positive moral example...but should his judgment fail him Anivar may just find himself hung up by his toes!
The Birth of Nitro
Based off a character from a real life television show ("Who Wants to Be a Superhero?") a teenage boy from Titan named Tim is introduced onto the canvas. This young man suffered injuries to his hands that were miraculously healed by an experimental procedure. The results came with a strange side effect that produced special powers...powers which he now brings into the rings of the GWF!
Plethador Merchandise Available
GWF Superstar Plethador has proven to be a marketing hit with everything from key chains to cuddly bears fashioned in his image selling like hot cakes! Will this commercial success help him to up his game inside the ring? Or will it go to his head and work to his detriment?
From The Streets of Aldebaran...
A newcomer named Patch joins Outlaw Nation. A tough man with a seedy past Patch has only one eye as a souvenir from a street fight!
Valour leaves Outlaw Nation
After a confrontation with American Guy that ends badly, a frustrated Valour takes his ball and goes home...ultimately finding a place on the makeshift Resistance squad.
Payback Loses His Smile
As the odd man out on the disintegrated Divided We Fall team a befuddled Payback is feeling as useful as a lead balloon and decides to return to the Titan squad of his roots.
Swarm and Son Hit The Circuit
In a bid to save his son from going down the wrong path, Swarm brings his son Axaran on the road with him. Will being close to the action bring this youngster purpose and salvation? Or will it prove to be a corrupting influence?
The Main Event Hits The Scene
A newcomer has arrived...but how new is he? Time will tell if he winks at us coming and going.
The Resistance Is Formed
As a dynamic of not wanting to be a part of any of the existing teams Wolf, Valour, Kill Prey, Shann-Ra & Sultana will try to collectively walk between raindrops as they forge a formidable unit in The Resistance!

Rookies
Iron Hand: Hailing from Parts Unknown and standing 6'3 309 lbs this mysterious wrestler/commissioner has made an immediate impact. At a Rahl Rating of 64 (64) and equipped with metallic body armor he is an imposing physical presence inside the ring. His finisher carries a devastating +5 rating and his defense is structured under the rare PIN 4(1) 1 down formula. His only structured limitation is a self imposed ruling that bars him from holding any titles.
Patch: At 6'6 296 lbs this one eyed street fighter from Aldebaran should make for a powerful new star. At a Rahl Rating of 39 (40) and sporting a staggered potency finisher hitting semi-main event level should be a goal well with-in his immediate reach.
The Main Event: Standing 6'3 283 lbs from Parts Unknown speculation has run rampant among hardcore GWF fans concerning this wrestler's similarity to previous stars such as Gatekeeper, Daimyo and Dead Ringer. At a Rahl Rating of 33 (33) and armed with a +3 Finisher it won't be too difficult for TME to find a niche role with the highest bidder.
Deadliest: This latest export from Kroll stands 6'1 174 lbs. At a Rahl Rating of 32(32) Deadliest will find herself well grounded in the women's division...although her learning curve may be steepened by a PIN 7 (4)
Nitro: A card with a unique backstory Nitro steps in at 5'10 222 lbs. At a Rahl Rating of 23 (35) this youngster is stated with two deathjump designations and a unique roll finisher. A fun low tier card that may just surprise quite a few people.

GWFZ Bash
The GWFZ continues with this set. This set changes things up a bit with updates for a few wrestlers, as well as all the creations are from Filsinger employees instead of randomly drawn promoters.
Storylines:
The biggest storyline is that the GWFZ has an official commissioner. Stellar Nexus, the nephew of Lord Nexus, is now the commissioner and has hired a championship committee to help him make decisions for the time being. The other main storyline is the death of Assassin X. In a match between Assassin X and Symbiote, the crazed Brymstonian managed by Nightmare Nikki, took his blade and murdered X. It was an ironic twist of fate for the wrestler who had claimed he might accidentally kill a wrestler to die on his own. Symbiote then managed to take over X's body, becoming the creature now known as Xymbiote. In other storylines, aCe trainees The Undergrads debuted to get some experience before going to aCe, while Raeda, a member of the Jardiil society, joined aCe to battle against Nightmare Nikki and help Homage and The Legacy in their war against Nikki's crew. Not long after the death of Assassin X, a newcomer named Assassin Z debuted and the story of the Assassins came to light
Newcomers:
Stellar Nexus- The nephew of Lord Nexus has been named the Commissioner in the GWFZ. He is a young man who studied law before getting involved in the GWFZ. He decided that being so young, he might need help running the federation. To do so, he hired Star Warrior, Pulsar, Max Shield, Nefarus, Paragon and Terminus to help make decisions and not to favor one side or the other.
Assassin Z- Assassin Z is part of a group of 26 members of a secret Assassin Society that Assassin X had also belonged. Z is the youngest member of the group. He is originally from Corvus like Tournament Master and Endgame. He has joined Divine Fury to battle Xymbiote and Death Club. His finisher, Rolling Olympic Hell, is a vicious submission finisher and is one of many classic Japanese moves he uses.
Raeda- Raeda is a young woman from the Jardiil Society of Alpha Lyrae. She was put in charge of Gelasia (the wife of POW wrestler Thayne) and her children. Though she was forbidden to talk to Gelasia, she disobeyed and did so. She was appalled by the situation and was also bored with her guardian duties. She decided that it was necessary to change that. She wanted to join POW to help her spiritual sister to escape but was unable to do so due to the Jardiil wrestlers already there. Instead, she joined Divine Fury (along with Assassin Z) to battle Nightmare Nikki and her Death Club. Raeda uses a wrenching crossface submission (similar to Nikki's Gothic Nightmare) called the Guardian Grip to finish opponents.
The Undergrads- Magnifico and Pariah might have come from two different backgrounds but the two are quite alike. Magnifico's family was in trouble for alleged slave trading, but he joined the Family Rose training camp as did Pariah. Pariah was a street tough who was heading for trouble when he joined. They might have been different, but they had one thing in common. It was the fact they didn't like to be ordered around. They might have been kicked out, but the trainers thought better of it and decided that they were the perfect candidates for training abroad. With that, they were sent from Dimension Y to Dimension K where they joined the GWFZ. Magnifico uses the Slave Driver (a corkscrew neckbreaker) to finish opponents. Pariah uses Anarchy in the GWFZ (a running knee lift followed by a neckbreaker to finish opponents) In Bash, they have challenged the Dark Knights to a feud to see who the best team in the GWFZ is.
Updates:
Sledgend- Sledgend has improved but is still just as wild as before. Johnny Rocket decided instead of trying to tame the big man, he would encourage his wild behavior. His finisher retains the same name but has a new element. Instead of being a full nelson facebuster inside the ring, he does it now on the outside, through an announcer's table. He risks a disqualification, but for Sledgend that's a small price to pay to be "Sledgendary."
The Surgeon- The Surgeon has slipped off in terms of athletic competition. He is growing more insane. However, despite all this, he has improved. He and Dr. Payne have gelled as a tag team and have picked up a tag finisher to show off their skills. This finisher is Last Rites (Dr. Payne bear hugs an opponent while Surgeon slingshot clotheslines the opponent). Code Red continues their feud with The Dark Knights and Titan Pain.
Xymbiote- The Brymstonian killer has a new body and new skills after he discarded his old body for Assassin X's superior form. He is now more agile and just as violent as before. He uses Evolution (a top rope headbutt) to finish off opponents. He continues to tag with Leviathan and has a new foe in newcomer Assassin Z
No longer in the GWFZ
Assassin X- Killed by Symbiote who took over his body to become Xymbiote.
Tournament Master (Optional in Bash)-Rumor has it that he has departed the GWFZ for the aCe federation

GWFZ Invasion 2124
The latest set for the GWFZ involves a mixture of newcomers and updates. Rob Beaubein handles all the newcomers while the creators of the updated characters all play a role in updating their creations. Also, this is a major year for new storylines.
The Storylines:
Without spoiling the whole book, I will simply concentrate on the main storylines here.
Mercury Rising- For years, Mercury had never sent a wrestler to any federation. Due to their unique physiology, it had never seemed practical. However, due to a war involving Venus and Cygnus, a group of rogue Sagitta fighters decided to try and attack Mercury. Though the planet was rescued before any damage could be done, it dawned on them that protection would be needed. A man called Professor Sudden came up with the idea. He created a being called The Phenomenal Swift. It is a prototype soldier. If it tests properly, it will be put into mass production so Mercury can have a defendable army for any possible invasions. Professor Sudden has decided to try the GWFZ and is even teaming up with his creation to give it a go.
Xiongmao's Turn- Cuddley Claw could no longer control the wild panda. With a vicious turn, Xiongmao injured the Dark Star Creature with Pandamonium and abandoned Claw and Shell Shocker. Shortly afterward, he joined up with Hegemony and his new team. The former AniMen member claimed to be tired of being held back his old teammates.
Titan Death- Continuing his trend of trying to balance the forces of good and evil, Stellar Nexus took suggestions from his committee to form a team who could enforce his rules as necessary. The faces voted for Stryker while the villains chose The Surgeon. Together they are Titan Death, enforcers for Stellar Nexus. Standing in their way are feuding opponents Morbid and Sledgend who will Rage Against the Machine so no one takes away the fun of fighting each other.
The Newcomers:
Mercury Rising- Professor Sudden is like no other wrestler. He can hit quickly and powerfully, but if he doesn't take quick advantage, he might be overwhelmed even by lowly undercarders. Phenomenal Swift is more well rounded and incredibly agile. The two of them will form a top flight tag team. They will face Sagitta Steel in what promises to be an intense battle. Professor Sudden uses Sudden Impact (often and repeatedly) to try and finish opponents. It is a running double flying knee smash. Swift uses a finisher called The Mind Eraser which is a super fast airplane spin to finish opponents.
Tusk- Claw has brought in some new muscle to replace Xiongmao and Dark Star Creature. Tusk is former Head of Security for the Andromeda Zoo and a veritable wall in the ring. He may not hit often, but when he does, it's with the force of a jackhammer. His finisher, The Bonecrusher, is a vertical splash to an opponent's back followed by a vicious camel clutch. He feuds with Gallows.
Deftone- A musician whose band member was injured, Deftone has joined friends Darth Pelvis and Grillz in the squared circle. He is a daredevil risk-taker who puts his own body on the line to win a match. The fans have quickly taken to him especially in his feud with the brash Parox. Deftone's finisher is high-risk but exciting. Stage Dive is a move where he climbs to the top turnbuckle, flips into the air and drops down on his opponent with a big thud. It's powerful when it hits, but sometimes an opponent moves. It hasn't stopped Deftone from using it however.
Parox- A young Mensan who doesn't believe that the Mensans before him have done anything worthy of his respect, he debuts in the GWFZ with a lot of bluster. He has taken Johnny Rocket as his manager, and has great skill and talent. He faces a battle with fellow newcomer Deftone in InvaZion. He uses Dead to Rights (a gut wrench power bomb) to finish opponents.
Dread Pirate of M83- Available only as an early order exclusive, Dread Pirate continues a tradition started by Matador. There have been stories for over 200 years about a fierce pirate captain called Dread Pirate of M83. It is unknown if this man is such, but he seems quite different from the ones in the legends. The fans have responded quite positively to him. His finisher, Dead Man's Chest, is a double stomp from the top rope.
Updates:
Nightmare Nikki- Available only as an early order special, Nikki continues her domination of the women's ranks by stepping up her game in 2124. She has taken a liking toward MMA and has incorporated several maneuvers into her arsenal. She also has fully embraced her vampiric side and draws power from making her opponents bleed and feasting on it. Her finisher is now the Raver's Rack (lifts an opponent into a fireman's carry and then flips them over into a Tombstone)
Leviathan- Nikki's pride and joy has continued to develop. He is no longer the slow beast he had been. Instead he has developed an incredible agility. He also has put his new tail to use to help him perform all sorts of new maneuvers. His new finisher is Near Death Experience which is an incredible spring tail assisted moonsault.
Darth Pelvis- In an effort to improve, Darth Brooks has remolded himself into Darth Pelvis. He also uses new tricks to help provide an advantage for his team. He likes to use Don't Be Cruel (a shake rattle and roll neckbreaker) to put away his opposition.
Motor Psycho- With Sly Drury's ascension in the GWF, Motor Psycho's association with him is paying off. He has been appointed leader of Heavy Metal. He's also been busy with heading up Sly's security. Now improved in the ring, he faces a big feud with Tyrro in InvaZion. He has stopped using the high risk Hell's Angel to finish opponents and instead has adopted Road Warrior (a vader bomb splash from the second buckle) to win.
Pride- With the departure of Overtime and Ensor, Pride has been training with Star Warrior to become the #1 wrestler on the Hero team. He has also focused on the myriad of heels who are in the GWFZ. Number one on his list is the cocky G.Q. Stratus. Pride has two ways of finishing opponents. The Patriot Missile is a flying leg drop. The Pride Pump Handle Slam is exactly what it says.
Irish Heat- Having gotten in trouble with the law one time too many for drunken brawls, Irish Heat was looking at prison time until Justin Case got him loose. Now free to do what he wants and feeling double crossed by his old ally, he wants his former partner Ares in a new match called a Barroom Brawl Match. Irish Heat still uses his Dropping Heat finisher and has added Cheers! where he tries to crack open an opponent's skull with his beer mug.
Hegemony and Honey Bunny- Hegemony continues to be a strange case in the GWFZ. He has moved to a planet where women are dominant and has fallen in love with a woman known as Honey Bunny. She towers over him and has become not just his lover but also his valet. She loves to interfere in his matches to protect her man. He has set his sights on the "lazy" Cuddley Claw. He has kept his old finishers but also has Honey deliver a vicious power bomb which has quite the impact considering how powerful she is. He has also added the wild AniMen Xiongmao to the bunch to make his feud against the AniMen even more intense.
Scar- One of the biggest storylines is Salvage being discovered by the Aethrans including his true heritage. He was decimated, but given one chance. If he can win a feud vs Strong, he will be allowed to continue wrestling and be forgiven for his family's failure. If he does not, he is to be executed. Taking the name Scar, he accepts his potential fate. His finisher is now Death By Aethran (a top rope electric chair drop)
Harm- It had to happen. Harm's leg finally gave up on him. The damage became too extensive and the surgeon's finally replaced it with a cybernetic one. This move however caused Harm to snap. Already imbalanced by the pain and the distaste for robotic parts, now that it has been forced upon him, it has only made Harm worse. He hates himself, often hiding from being seen outside the ring, but inside he is all business. He continues to use Harm's Way to finish opponents.
The Legacy- The Legacy is facing multiple challenges in the GWFZ in 2124. He has The Messenger to deal with still, but he also faces the crazed Brymstonian Xymbiote as well. That's not the only issue though. Legacy is having trouble keeping his calm demeanor. Sometimes his Inner Peace transforms into an Outer Rage.
Gone From the GWFZ:
Ensor- Ensor has been promoted to the GWF.
Tournament Master- Wrestling in aCe as Totalis the Tournament Master.
Dr. Payne- Feeling he didn't fit in well in the GWFZ, Dr. Payne is pursuing a possible career in POW with assistance from Stellar Nexus whose cousin Scion is a competitor there.
Overtime- Overtime has left to train though for what has not yet been determined. Overtime has been inducted into the GWFZ Hall of Fame due to his success in such a short time span.
Dark Star Creature- Injured by Xiongmao, Dark Star Creature is not wrestling this year. His career might have been ended.

GWF Birthday Bash: Special Commemorative Edition Review
By: Todd Holland
Opening Statement:
10 Years. 10 Years is a very long time for a company to be in business. Filsinger Games has done that and then some by now. For a small startup business idea, most fail. However Tom Filsinger has been able to avoid all the downfalls of small businesses and created one of the best games known to man, Champions of the Galaxy. 10 years into the great game, a special addition for the fans was created and named Birthday Bash.
Thats right. Filsinger Games made a special edition package for us, the fans. Although it is not a game year, the cards can play with any other cards and they can actually tie into GWF storyline.
Card Overview:
This exciting special addition houses eight playing cards. Some new, some remakes, all fun. Here are the cards included in this addition:
The Invincible Krakan: We find out with this card that Invincible Krakan was the first ever GWF game character sketched by Chuck Carter. In 1985, Chuck Carter tried to draw up the main villain in Thantos and the Krakan sketch is what we got!
Blazing Skull: One of the most notorious wrestlers to ever grace the GWF, Blazing Skull made his debut card in Birthday Bash in 2101, although he wasn't an official GWF roster member until 2103. Blazing Skull has a great following due to his ability to have his head burst into flames, potentially injuring the opponent and the referee. Ordered to wear a cap when wrestling, he can still blow his top due to being unstable. When blasting, Blazing Skull has the ability to hurt his opponent badly, including permanent injury. All in All, Blazing Skull is a tough wrestler and even more notorious!
Eagle: This is the first drawing Larry ever sent Tom for Raven, and it is a great drawing. Eagle, which was to be the original art for Raven, wasn't dramatic enough for Tom and he has decided to use this drawing for Eagle. Eagle is the younger cousin of Raven. Eagle was offered a place on the W.A.R roster but declined. There are times you can see Eagle and Raven in the ring together, calling themselves Birds of Prey. A great addition to the roster and adds to Raven's story.
Zouave the Conqueror: A Character drawn by Larry for the Sudden Death series, Zouave was never used or released.... until now. Zouave is a time traveler and like most of them, he is often disoriented and it shows in the ring. Zouave has no friends nor is he looking or asking for any. Although no friends, sometimes he will team with Gila
Meteor: Chuck Carter hit another home run with Meteor who was originally supposed to be Lance At-Las. Meteor spends tons of time on Mars like Lance At-Las and is a honest rule abiding wrestler. However, Meteor seems destined to be held back as his talent isn't anywhere near the level of Lance At-Las.
Mayhem: Here we get a special treat. An alternate, closeup picture of Mayhem, a Great Gladiator. Tom kept this one and now we get to choose which card we want to use!
Gila: Larry drew this lizard like creature during the Sudden Death series. With no use for him, Tom placed him on the shelf...until now. Thats right promoters, we now have access to Gila. Gila has a strange way about himself. When angered, Gila will crawl like a lizard. Gila was actually turned down by Cannibal and Murder's Row.
Dreggs: An alternate art by Larry for Dreggs. This art is full of stuff and Tom felt it was a bit crowded. But knowing his fans, Tom kept it and has released it for us. Indeed a card that showcases Larry's talent for great detail.

GWFZ Pre-Order Madness
Story Arcs
One more set to tide people over for a long wait for the next set, Preorder Madness was based primarily on a contest to get people to order the new set. There was little in terms of storylines, the main ones being Johnny Rocket adding Tiberius Cota and Nemean joining up with the Headliners and Deftone, and Motor Psycho breaking away from Sagitta Steel.
GWFZ Cards
Crow
Made in honor of promoter Jamie B. Wilson, Crow was one of the first important bootleg characters. He is also perhaps the strongest card in terms of stats in the GWFZ. He has no allies, as his mission is to show he's still the best in a brand new federation.
Carson P. Century
The wrestler least connected to the GWFZ, Carson P. Century is a wrestler born in the early 1900s who successfully built a time machine that would allow him to travel to any time he wished. He can compete against anyone at any time. He tends not to stay in any fed for too long, but often returns. He has an incredible ease at adapting to styles, and makes a good temporary replacement partner for any wrestler who needs one.
Honey Bunny
Hegemony's squeeze has entered the GWFZ to show she can do more than power bomb opponents. She is a powerful and fierce competitor, easily the strongest in the GWFZ for the women. She now faces a feud with the new manager of the AniMen, the vicious Pitch Black.
Jack Rabbid
An Andromedan who seems to have it in for his own people, Jack made his debut by attacking Tusk in a match against Gallows. He is quite crazy, and no team is willing to take up his services, not even the University of Hegemony who are feuding with the AniMen. In spite of having no allies, Jack continues to focus on the AniMen especially Shell Shocker.
Lone Star
Lone Star is a vagabond who has explored the universe, and won a GWFZ contract at an invitational on Cetus. She has had a rough life, but makes no excuses. She brings a huge high risk move. She often misses it, but when she hits the Dying Star, her opponent is probably down for the count. Irish Bratz has taken a dislike to her, and is her current feuding opponent.
Nemean
From aCe, the greatest show has joined the GWFZ. Nemean escaped with Totalis to enter Dimension K as a virus had infected the Ravager Mothership forcing it to depart from Centra was occurring there. He contacted Deftone and the Headliners and formed a group called Nemean Productions to handle their music. He also has joined with them to wrestle against the RocketMen. He is opposed by newcomer Tiberius Cota.
Nightmerica
Once an American Soldier named Johnny Wright, he was killed in battle. His beliefs however did not allow him to pass on, instead he returned to a ghostly state. Vallah granted him a new body and he turned to the GWFZ. Nightmerica has been courted by both Pride and Nightmare Nikki but has currently rebuffed both of them fro the time being. Pride has decided to prove himself to Nightmerica by challenging him, while Nikki is sending Leviathan to battle against the former soldier.
Pitch Black
Cuddley Claw realized he was not cut out for managing a team, so he went to Andromeda and brought a new manager to the fold. Pitch Black is not only a good manger, but also quite the talented wrestler. She also has a feud with the gigantic Honey Bunny, but feels her finisher can knock the giant down to size.
Tiberius Cota
A young general from Janus, Tiberius joined a group of rebels who felt their Senate was not showing the might of Janus. After they overthrew the Senate, the new emperor offered Tiberius a chance to join the GWFZ and show his abilities to the galaxy. Tiberius jumped at the chance and has now placed himself in a battle against Nemean as he has joined up with Johnny Rocket and the Rocketmen.
Venusian Guard
On the advice of Assassin Z, Professor Sudden brought in an awesome tag team from Venus to battle a future threat in the GWFZ. These two are here to demonstrate their skills, and help to defend against the mysterious newcomers set to arrive. For the time being, they plan on dominating the tag ranks of the GWFZ.
POW Cards
Dark Star Creature
His career thought ended by Xiongmao, Dark Star Creature stunned everyone by battling back thanks to assistance from Stellar Nexus. He rehabilitated his multiple injuries, which allowed him to continue his career. A former cage fighter, he had a new federation to join in POW. Now on the own for the first time, he plans on demonstrating his abilities against other big men such as Rubicon and Mensar.
Dr. Payne
As a former MMA fighter, the transition to POW should be an easy one for Dr. Payne. He was not a fan of Justin Case, so he asked Stellar Nexus to assist him in joining POW. Stellar used his connections to get him into POW. Now Dr. Payne will be feuding with Totalis and any other one who are seeking a bit of pain.
Nurse Elizabeth
Dr. Payne's assistant has decided to join him by stepping into the squared circle and MMA as well. Unbeknown to most people, she had years of training in martial arts before joining up as Dr. Payne's valet. She now seeks to show the women in POW what she can do as a very brutal fighter.
Totalis
Seeking to add to his Wall of Fame, Totalis has left aCe and joined POW. Equally at home fighting MMA or wrestling, Totalis takes on all challengers, but especially Dr. Payne.

Son of Bash
Son of Bash was interesting in that it introduced The Upstart Punks, Blizzard and Karah who would all have important roles in the CPC (and in the Punks and Karah's case, POW). No character had a major effect on the GWF, but they still helped round out the federation in need of some more undercarders.
The Cards
Blizzard
Drawn by Brian Bendis, Blizzard was from Omicron and initially considered for the GWF tag team spots that eventually went to Wraith and Vertigo. Originally rejected by Tom for looking too superheroish, Tom eventually figured a way to put him to use in an undercard role. He was one of the first wrestlers to have an effect on defense (along with Blazing Skull) as he could use his ice powers on the opponent. Originally this would get him disqualified but he didn't care. Eventually, his friendship with Buck Steele enabled him to mature, and he would team up with his friend for a while as Frozen Fury. Eventually, they split ways, and Blizzard moved over to the CPC where he was part of the Outlaw Fight Club feud, and eventually retired while still one of the top wrestlers in the federation.
Avenging Warrior
Avenging Warrior was a seemingly throwaway card as it reflected a very brief time in 2086 where Star Warrior donned a mask and used a move called the Avenger Cannon. It was inspired by an early GWF promo drawing which Star Warrior was wearing a mask. The storyline was that after Thantos broke the code, Star Warrior snapped a bit. Eventually, Tom picked up the storyline toward the end, with Star Warrior again becoming Avenging Warrior this time as a manager. In the end though, he would lose out to Thantos and retire gracefully eventually moving into helping to start the GWFZ.
Scourge
Once again, unused artwork is picked back up. This card was an early drawing for Scourge that Tom rejected. The storyline became that after Scourge and Rogue returned to Dimension X, they broke up and feuded. Rogue got the better end of the feud, so Scourge returned to the GWF. He lost a Sudden Death feud to Dynamo and retired almost as quickly as he returned. Eventually, Magnus Colby hired him to be a special referee and call match ups favorably for his team(s).
The Upstart Punks
Romulus and Taurine are from Draco and were originally an undercard tag team for the GWF. Taurine was based on rejected artwork for Torin Caelum while Romulus was just a random drawing by Larry Snelly. Funny thing is that Taurine's name is spelled as Teraine in the booklet but Taurine on the card. They had a short run in the GWF, but after competing in independents for a bit, they became one of the top tag teams in the CPC and still compete in POW to this day.
Karah the Jungle Lad
Karah was another rejected artwork card reconfigured into a new character. Originally slated to be the updated Wildcat artwork, Tom decided to change as he felt the character didn't look quite right. Instead, he became Karah, a young trainee who teamed for a while with Eagle as Air Raid. Eventually, he replaced Stalker in the Savage Kingdom and was a low level wrestler until he moved over to the CPC. There, he eventually joined with Dr. Barnabas and became Nero part of the most successful CPC/POW tag teams, Darwin's Legacy.
Holocaust
A card based on artwork from Promoter #19, fans liked the more human look to Holocaust, so Tom made it into a Son of Bash card.
Exo-King
A card based on artwork from the 1st promoter, this was made to give Exo-King a manager's card for the GWF.

Galacticon Bash
In the Bash sets, Tom goes mostly to create undercarders, but Galacticon also allowed him to increase the women's ranks. It featured the work of regular COTG artists Chuck Carter (Sir Ender), Brian Bendis (Sniper), and Jeremy Su (Taechon) along with some of the premiere bootleg artists as the time including Paul Barnes (AniMen Invasion), Randy Bugdale (The Hellions) and Ed Davis III (Soulwatcher). One difference between this set and the earlier ones was that they were all original wrestlers.
The Wrestlers
AniMen Invasion
Son of Ram and Antak came as the GWF had lost nearly all of its AniMen. They were undercarders at first, being a low-level tag team. Son of Ram hinted at being the son of Battering Ram but when Battering Ram rebuffed that notation, he adjusted it to being a spiritual son. Although they did not have an easy time at it, they would eventually grow into the role, and accomplish their mission of putting the AniMen back into the GWF by bringing in Swarm which led to the rebirth of the group.
Sniper
While Son of Ram was not really related to Battering Ram, Sniper was amazingly the daughter of Invincible Krakan (she clearly got her looks from her mother). She was quite the capable wrestler, but Krakan rejected her. Eventually, she joined the Titans. She also occasionally teamed with Taechon as the team known as Arcana. Eventually, she retired and moved to training GWFZ women.
The Hellions
Hunger and Serpentine were the first women's tag team who were truly dedicated to such a task. Hunger brought controversy immediately with her finisher which allowed the mouth on her torso to bite opponents. Serpentine didn't have much of a role other than tag partner in the GWF. Eventually, they broke up so Hunger could pursue a short lived singles career. Serpentine eventually moved to the CPC where she hung around with the other Brymstonians until the group dissolved. She then joined the Outlaw Fight Club, before retiring when the fed transitioned to POW.
Sir Ender
One of the most comical characters ever created, Sir Ender came to join the Royal Court only it had departed the GWF and moved over to the CPC. That didn't stop him from competing. Eventually, Thunder took a liking to him and made him an honorary Gladiator named Crush. He and Thrash enjoyed it even though he was only marginally better and not an official Gladiator. Eventually, the Gladiators tired of the joke and bounced him from the GWF for good.
The Soulwatcher
A wrestler with amazing powers from the future who traveled back in time to wrestle in the GWF, Soulwatcher ended up being a hard luck case. The journey robbed him of a lot of his abilities. He never really stood out, but did have a brief alliance with Atman before simply fading from the scene.
Taechon
A wrestler who was either both genders or neither, Taechon was an oddball in the GWF. Taechon could wrestle against either gender and was equally effective against both. Taechon also used a lot of martial arts for a unique style. Eventually, not fitting in anywhere especially after Sniper moved to the Titans, Taechon left the GWF quietly.

CPC Savagery 2118
Story Arcs
Many changes came into being in 2118 from 2117. Michiko was squeezed out as Magnus and Sonora took control again. The rest of the group of seven dissipated except for Franco who returned to his Collector gimmick and reformed his Workshop. Brainstorm betrayed Michiko and was rewarded with the captainship of the Penthouse Suite team. With the Assassins and Brains and Brawn gone, Penthouse Suite faced a battle with the Outlaw Fight Club. The feud between Agents of Change and Holy War found itself turned into a 3 way battle as Talisman and the True Way joined the party. Meanwhile Talisman suffered some egg on his face as Thad Kolian (aka Grunge) was discovered, proving that Talisman's T.K. was a fraud. Jack of Diamonds made his return and brought back old ally Killer Queen to help him in his feud against his father. Raven replaced Terak with Dr. Barnabas as manager of Species and Darwin's Legacy joined the group. There were also many group changes from 2117.

CPC Savagery 2120
Story Arcs
The shakeups continue as the CPC deals with financial issues and aging superstars. Many classic names would leave CPC with Daeman and Exo-King retiring and Prodigy moving to an office job in the CPC. Colb and Pelf retired as active managers to concentrate on running the federation while Vidtek left due to injury, leading him to sign with the GWF as a ring announcer. New alliances formed as old ones crumbled. Zed joined up with feuding enemy Jack of Diamonds due to Exo-King's failing health. This caused Excalibur to join the Dynasty. Puma's failing health forced him to join up with Barnabas although he was a shell of his former self. Brainstorm moved over to the True Way telling Talisman he was a convert. Velar moved over to the Outlaw Fighting Club. Mike Fortune moved to part time status.
