I've recently came back to the game after a near-10 year hiatus (graduating college and getting married can do that to a promoter! 
) I rebooted to 2087 before I quit, and created an extensive backstory. I came back to the game last month, and picked up where I left off.
In my fed, the GWF was the result of a merger of the three largest independent promotions in our solar system: Titan Championship Wrestling (booked by Lord Nexus), Deimos Championship Wrestling (booked by Omega), and the All-Earth Wrestling Federation (booked by Commander Sam). The three promotions came together and became a regional territory in the Universal Wrestling Alliance (similar to the old NWA territory system), despite the wishes of UWA President Magnus Colby (the UWA Board of Directors approved, Colby dissented for reasons unknown.) The GWF is lead by Tom Filsinger, who booked on Deimos with Omega. Filsinger knows that the talent in the GWF is some of the best in the galaxy, and is working hard to make sure his federation gets noticed by the UWA and fans around the galaxy. The GWF currently only tours throughout our solar system, with an occasional card under the UWA banner in places like Orion, Andromeda, and Cetus.
The GWF is slowly growing in popularity, but Colby has his own ulterior motives, and is doing his best to make sure they don't gain too much too soon. With this backstory, I can introduce wrestlers as needed to make the fed grow.
For example, Bishop Hell came in as a highly-recruited free-agent from the Cosmic Wrestling Association, only there he was known as Inferno. The AniMen are wrestlers from the Andromedan Wrestling Association who came to Filsinger's aid when Colby screwed the GWF over on a UWA supercard. Battering Ram was the AWA Champion, and Badger was their cruiserweight champion. As punishement for interferring, Colby had them stripped of their titles, and the Ani Men joined the GWF fulltime.
I have a rough storyarc in the back of my head, with the GWF becoming the top territory in the UWA over the next few years. They eventually succeed in overtaking the UWA to become the main promotion in the galaxy, somewhere around 2091. I am heavily influenced by the emergence of World Championship Wrestling in the late 1980's and how they essentially replaced the NWA worldwide. Magnus Colby will abuse his power so much that he is fired, only to seek his revenge on the GWF in 2092 and beyond.
I run one card a week, in a Monday Night Raw kind of format, and hold a PPV every three months or so. In my mind, the GWF "tours" between shows, but I don't run a card for each venue. (Hulk Hogan beat King Kong Bundy up and down the east coast dozens of times in dark matches, but you only saw it on TV once or twice! lol) My main story points and feuds are played out on the weekly TV show. I am keeping better records this time out, and lay my fight cards out like I'm running a TV show: opening interview, a couple matches, backstage segment, few more matches, another major interview, and the main event. I still treat the GWF like the "fake" sports entertainment of today, so I don't have a strict ranking system. I push guys who I feel like pushing! Sure, Vanity sucks, but I want him to eventually win an Interplanetary Title! ;D
I'm just entering into 2088, with a G-Cup Tournament as the next PPV, where Billy Jo Boxer will debut. Adam Blast will come in soon after to help out Commander Sam, and Mesmer will most likely debut after WrestleMania. The Creeper will come in during the summer, after Vanity, who is currently a face after being betrayed by Killer Queen, turns on Pulsar.
If anyone would like to know more, let me know or email me. I'm having a lot of fun this time out, and its great to share!
