Capcom Wrestling Association

The Capcom Wrestling Association is a work of fan-fiction inspired by the video game series Muscle Bomber (also known as Saturday Night Slam Masters) and various fighting game franchises produced by Capcom. It presents professional wrestling matches and storylines featuring the characters from these various games. A teaser trailer for the project was first posted to The Hellhole YouTube channel on June 24th, 2024The fuse has been lit..., with the inaugural episode posted June 30th, 2024Mike Haggar Launches Slam Masters Return! | CWA Saturday Night Slam Masters.
Events are predominantly presented through a weekly Saturday Night Slam Masters video programme written, edited & performed by Mick Lucifer, featuring matches and storylines created using the WWE 2k23 video game. Episodes are thirty to forty minutes long, with a format of three brief commercial breaks, and approximately four matches. Matches are typically CPU controlled bouts, featuring dramatized audio commentary, dialogue, graphics, music, editing, and in-game assets generated using creation tools to adapt & embellish elements inspired by Capcom games.
==Project Origin ==
Mick Lucifer is a noted longtime enthusiast of fighting video games and professional wrestling, becoming interested in the Muscle Bomber series upon discovering it in the mid-2000s. Having previously written a column for prowrestling.com, and then maintaining a regular featured community blog on the gaming site 1UP.com; he set out to present a series of articles that imagined results & storylines from Capcom Wrestling Association. It was intended to be a proof of concept for a revival of the game series, beginning with a match card posted June 5th, 2009Saturday Night Slam Masters: The International Blowout!. Although ending abruptly after the July 25th Slam Masters results, the articles helped to raise awareness about the series, and garnered continued interest in the ensuing years from some who read them. Having enjoyed the experience of beginning the Mortal Kombat 1 Lucifer Timeline fan-fiction project on The Hellhole YouTube channel, and looking to create more consistent content, the long gestating idea of CWA programming was finally realised using WWE 2k23 after several months of creating characters, assets, and all-new cards & story outlines.
==The Story==
The inaugural episode of Saturday Night Slam Masters opens with a microphone promo spoken by Mike Haggar, who outlines the beginning of a new residency for Capcom Wrestling Association in Metro City's Haggar Stadium. Taking place some time after the events of Street Fighter 6; Haggar has left office as Metro City Mayor, becoming a key official and Commissioner for CWA, who helped negotiate the deal with new Mayor, Cody Travers. It is implied CWA has been operating consistently, but is only now able to return to weekly broadcasting of Saturday Night Slam Masters. For unspecified reasons the company must crown a new World Champion with the announcement of the 2024 Summer Carnival Championship tournament.
CWA is conceived with an intention of having regular, episodic programming with loosely defined seasons. The first season comprises three weekly episodes of Saturday Night Slam Masters and the Summer Carnival Championship. It is intended to transition directly into a longer Season 2.
==The Roster==
The CWA roster is comprised of classic characters from the Muscle Bomber series, and other professional wrestlers and combatants from various Capcom franchises. The inaugural base roster was introduced over the first two weeks and is a mixture of Muscle Bomber characters and lesser known characters from the Street Fighter franchise.
