The JWL

==Canon==
The JWL was a Professional Wrestling Fanfiction series that existed from 2001-2014. 
It combined wrestlers from World Wrestling Entertainment, World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, WOW Women of Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and some independents, sometimes with alternate gimmicks. 
It had 80 TV episodes and 6 PPVs, with the titles taken from either WWE events (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania and Vengeance) or National Wrestling Alliance/WCW events (SuperBrawl, Slamboree and The Great American Bash.) It was written in Script Format. It was slightly Alternate Universe due to being a fictitious promotion and featuring gimmicks and teams/stables that did not exist in real life. (The fact that it had only 80 TV episodes over some 12 years was due to how long it sometimes took the author to write and post a show.)
The focus of The JWL was WRESTLING, not on love affairs, social media, interfering officials or any of the other nonsense that drags down actual wrestling shows today. 
The JWL was shut down in January 2014 due to the author running out of ideas and having no audience. By that point, all three Championships were vacant. 
==Authorial Intent==
"Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me When I'm Episode 64" started with former ECW wrestler 911 Squashing "Mr. World Cup" (Ken "Kenny Dykstra" Doane as a jobber dressed as a generic Soccer player), as a rip on what 911's manager Paul E. Dangerously called Mr. World Cup's "pointless so-called sport." While the segment was well-received on Wrestling Classics.com, that it was a rip on soccer was completely overlooked.
 
On a larger scale, there was an emphasis on pushing wrestlers who often had the rug pulled out from under them whenever they got momentum in real life.The inaugural Champions were Chris Benoit, Molly Holly and The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian). Kane's JWL World Heavyweight Title reign saw him pushed as the destructive monster he should be. Jack Swagger defeating him for the Title on Episode 73 was the only time Kane had been pinned in a singles match, and only his third loss of any kind to that point. (By contrast, his storyline "brother" The Undertaker had lost one TV and two PPV matches to Rhino.) Conversely,the author's personal biases toward/against certain people may come through at times.In WCW Canon, The Dungeon of Doom were huge heels (until the NWO stole the spotlight). Here, they were Faces feuding with Shane Douglas' group The Franchise Foundation. WWE made Trish Stratus into the top Face of the Divas. Here, she was a Heel as the leader of Stratusfaction Inc.

JWL Vengeance I PPV 	HP Pavilion at San Jose, San Jose, CA 	JWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Final: Kane vs. 2 Cold ScorpioThis is the essence of fantasy booking, creating opportunities for people that wouldn't exist otherwise, since there is NO WAY this as a main event would have drawn a dime in real life, since the only promotion in the U.S. where Scorpio was ever seriously pushed as a singles wrestler was in ECW, and that was in 1994-1996, and this event was in 2008. In fact, this would likely apply to a lot of these main events.
