your LOW/LOTF PPVs/big events

[Vegas]

After reading the COTG PPV name thread in the Misc. COTG forum, it made me really interested in hearing about the same topic- but by other LOW/LOTF promoters.

What are some of the PPVs/major events that you run in your LOW and/or LOTF feds?

I run four major supercards per year:

EVE OF DESTRUCTION - New Year's Eve, (Royal Rumble)
DAWN OF DESTINY - April 1 (Opening Day of baseball!) - Money in the Bank
FREEDOM FESTIVAL - July 4
TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS - October - (Anniversary of Heartland first card): all champions from the past year have tournament for "Filsinger Cup"


Between times, I hold a smaller monthly PPV "Heartland Havoc". September will be Havoc XXXIV.

I run only two big events over a calendar year (which is every 100 cards for me). The main one, run every 100 cards, is called WrestleCade which of course is a combination of WrestleMania and Starrcade. The other is the PWI Invitational Cup tournament which is run on multiple cards leading up to WrestleCade with the finals taking place there. During the course of each year I hold major shows at arenas like Madison Square Garden or the Omni in Atlanta but for the most part I only have two big events that I build up to each year. The rest of the time is spent building up programs in the five territories I run in my LOW fed and hoping that some of them turn into big bouts at WrestleCade.

I have four major events in my 32-card year for BCW:

Bithlo Bash -- usually has a world heavyweight title match and a tag title match, plus a 36-man Bithlo Battle Bowl to decide the next heavyweight contender. The battle bowl is divided into three 12-man rings, with the top two in each advancing to the final, six-man Battle Bowl. The runner-up in that final event gets a shot at the U.S. title (at least this "year").

Tag-O-Rama: A 16-team tag tournament (kind of like a Crockett Cup) that allows me to use cards not currently in my federation, along with at least six tag teams from my fed. Will also feature the match between the world champ and the winner of Bithlo Battle Bowl.

Invasion/War Games: My favorite big event of the year. Divided into two parts, the Invasion part and the War Games section. In Invasion, two tag teams and four singles wrestlers take on wrestlers from outside the federation (but who are LOW wrestlers). If the newcomers win, they get the BCW spot held by the wrestler(s) they defeated. In the second part, BCW wrestlers (not involved in the Invasion part) take on those from the dastardly Bootleg Wrestling Federation in a series of matches. Format for this part expected to be altered somewhat this "year."

Wrestlethon: My year-ending event. Set up to settle feuds, etc. Ideally has the best matchups for the three main belts (world, U.S., tag).

Addendum: I have two other "semi-major" events -- the Tampa Tournament (a one-night, single-elimination event for 32 wrestlers to see who gets a shot at the heavyweight title two cards later. It is usually held between Invasion and Wrestlethon), and, new this "year," the Night of Champions (in which the three main belts for each of three feds will be defended in a joint card, to be held between Bithlo Bash and Tag-O-Rama).

Three annual supercards:
Steel Belt Clash - April
Summer Showdown - August
Superbowl of Wrestling - last show of December

I'll have some other big shows too (for example - upcoming 400th card) but they aren't "official" supercards.
