Tomorrow The World - A Journey of Wrestling Scenario Wiki

## Welcome to *The World of* *Tomorrow The World* - A **Journey of Wrestling** Scenario Wiki

Tomorrow the World is a user-made scenario for Journey of Wrestling, the online wrestling simulator.

## TtW 1975 - Rules the Territories

In 1975, the "Big Five" national wrestling organizations rule the wrestling world, strangling out any would-be independent wrestling companies.

Each umbrella organization rules a corner of the wrestling world and each hosts its own world champion which it tours around its member companies.

**Titanic Total Wrestling:** The largest wrestling alliance in the world, it boasts the longest world title lineage and some of the most popular wrestlers. Rules the Southeastern, Southern and Southwestern United States. Its top members are Pacific Coast Wrestling, Big Shot Wrasslin' and Wild West Wrestling.

**Mega Wrestling Association:** Ruling over the Northeastern United States and the United Kingdom, its power is second only to TTW. Mega Japan Pro Wrestling, Catch EMPIRE and All-American Wrestling are their top-drawing member companies.

**Japan Overdrive Wrestling:** Three distinct styles from three distinct companies, they co-promote events annually but each has its own niche carved out. Strong Style Japan governs mixed martial arts and shoot fights, Super Puroresu Japan hosts the light heavyweights and joshi (women's) wrestling, while All Japan Puroresu caters to a more "western" style with monstrous Gaijin vs technically-sound native talent.

**Nación de Lucha:** The blanket organization for wrestling in Mexico and the Caribbean. Mexico is split into Yucatan Lucha Libre in the east and south and Gran Lucha Libre Mexicana in central and western Mexico, while Campeones del Caribe runs the show in the Caribbean.

**O Canada Wrestling:** Ruling the Canadian wrestling world with a eclectic mix of regional companies. Prairie Pro Wrestling, Cross Canada Wrestling and Maritimes Grand Prix have the largest markets nationwide.

And then there is you...

**Global Wrestling Alliance** dares to stare down these Territories and drive them all out of business. Of course right now it is a tiny regional renegade with a nonexistent fanbase, but we all have to start somewhere.

Today the Territories, *Tomorrow the World!*

## The Golden Era - TtW 1983

See the World of TtW before the Global Wrestling Alliance's epic collapse!

Play as one of these unique companies!

* **Global Wrestling Alliance** - the Biggest Company in the Woooooooooooooooorld!
* **True North Superstars** - Once the biggest company in Canada, now dangling by its fingernails above bankruptcy.
* **Great Lakes Wrestling Federation** - Formerly a development company for GWA and before that a territory of the Mega Wrestling Association, they were unceremoniously dumped when GWA went international. GLWF does have a great training roster, and could find a niche if booked correctly.
* **Wild West Wrestling** - A renegade company run by Cowboy Sam Hill, he and his aging roster are teetering on the edge of oblivion now, but they might have an ace in the hole with his son Jack Hill.
* **Big Shot Wrestling** - The former King of the Territories, BSW needs to adapt to this new model of pro wrestling or risk being the next company to fall under GWA's boot...
* **Golden Ladies' Action Mayhem!** - An over-the-top women's wrestling company based in Reno, Nevada. While owner Kitty Balboa is content with it being a ridiculous tax write-off, top star Verna Gagnon wants to make it a serious contender.
* **All-American Pro Wrestling** - The mainstay of the Deep South, All-American is one of the last territories not to fall to GWA.
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre** - The top wrestling promotion in Mexico, it has a unique product that has a devout national following. But can it cast off its regional stigma and become a world contender?
* **Martial Arts Strong Style** - The top wrestling company in Japan, MASS wants to extend its reach outside of the island nation, but its serious style may be hard to market vs. the family-friendly cartoon of GWA.

## Tomorrow, the World - TtW 1989

In the year 1988, the wrestling world was turned on its ear...

Global Wrestling All-Stars, the pro-wrestling juggernaut was suddenly knocked out of business through a combination of anti-trust lawsuits and a scandal involving steroids and sexual abuse.

GWA had at this point conquered the wrestling world through a mix of kid-friendly productions and raiding the talent of the smaller territories. The only companies that survived to this point were now poised to fill the sudden vacuum that GWA's demise created.

Taking the reigns of one of thirteen companies, you now have the enviable task of making your company the new Worldwide Leader in Sport-Entertainment!

Tomorrow, the World's 13 competitors:

* **Wrestling World Cup:** The renegade territory that stood up to the Global Wrestling Alliance and didn't blink. Now going "legitimate," Sam Hill Sr.'s sons and a talented mix of veterans and fresh GWA refugees are now looking to take over the world.
* **Big Shot Wrestling:** With their biggest rival dead and buried, BSW is poised to take over the lucrative North American market. But a former ally and new rival WWC might be a bigger threat than they will admit. Boasting a large and talented roster, their biggest obstacle may be their own booking mistakes.
* **Martial-Arts Strong Style:** The once-undisputed king of Japanese Wrestling, international companies are starting to encroach on their traditional territories.
* **True North Superstars:** One of three Canadian wrestling companies, and the oldest. TNS boasts a deep and talented training pool, but the old stars sitting at the top of the roster are slow to pass the torch.
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre:** Still the only game in town south of the Rio Grande, CSLL may have difficultly moving out of their home country and into the bigger world. Four venerable wrestling families vie for the distinction of Mexico's Primero Familia.
* **All-American Pro Wrestling:** Another survivor of the GWA onslaught, APW is suddenly thrust into the Number 3 position of the new Big Three in the American wrestling markets. Wayne "the King" Carson is like unto a God in their home territory, but their old-school wrasslin' formula may need to adapt to attract worldwide audiences.
* **Campeonato Wrestling Caribe:** A Caribbean mainstay based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, CWC is known for bloody brawls and fanatical crowds. The Esteban family are the main focus of the show, though it is also the current home base for indie legend Beast Bronson. The small niche company may have difficulty moving from its home base and into the wider world.
* **Super Japan Pro Wrestling:** Based in Tokyo, Japan, SJPW offers a lighter, more entertainment-based product than the much more serious Martial-Arts Strong Style. While this alienates hardcore puro fans, it boasts a larger casual fanbase that was introduced to wrestling via international broadcasts of GWA. They are split into two touring companies: Super Japan Puroresu, the me's roster, and sister company Joshi Puroresu Japan - a roster mainly built from women sick of the rigid glass ceiling at Martial-Arts Strong Style. They are at war with MASS.
* **Great Lakes Wrestling Federation:** Once a developmental company for Global Wrestling Alliance, GLWA outlived it’s former parent company and has carved a tidy little niche for itself among wrestling fans put off by the sillier “entertainment” companies.
* **Maritime Wrestling Alliance:** Based in Eastern Canada, MWA has filled the GWA-shapes vacuum in the Maritimes and Newfoundland, feeding off the regional isolationism often felt by their fans. Heel and Face dichotomies that would make no sense elsewhere are quite common. The Tremblay wrestling family are a top feature of the territory.
* **West Cast Wrestling Coalition:** A Canadian-American partnership based in Tacoma, Washington, ‘Dub-See-Dub-See’ is notorious for its cheap production values and knockoff characters. Like most regional companies is has a strong local following, but this wrestling backwater has a lot to prove before they can hope to compete. Co-owner Greg Gorgon pushes himself and his no-talent sons first, everyone else third.
* **Catch Wrestling Empire:** A mainstay on UK Television “Holiday Camp” shows, CWE is seeking bigger, richer North American markets. Head booker and top draw John “the Giant” Hale May have bitten off more than he can chew, or maybe he is a business genius. Wrestlers from all over the British Commonwealth offer a diverse roster unseen elsewhere.
* **Titanic Total Wrestling:** Once the largest wrestling organization on the planet, TTW is a vestigial shadow of what it once was. Owner Big Rick Sumpter still clings to the belief it will one day rise again.

## Tomorrow, the World 1998 - the Ratings War

In the year 1998, Big Shot Wrestling and Wresting World Cup waged war for dominance of the North American wrestling scene.

The War has been a bitter one, but BSW has just struck a possibly-fatal blow to WWC. "Sidewinder" Simon Hill, T-Bone Jones and a cadre of loyal followers jumped ship from WWC to BSW, taking the Women's Tag Team and National Titles with them. WWC is on the ropes. You can take control and rebuild, or control BSW and grind your opponent into the dust.

Meanwhile, True North Superstars was bought out by WWC in 1996, and former road boss Mr. Toru has begun a new era in wrestling: BLOOD Ring. The upstart "hardcore" company has taken the washed-up, un-hireable, and unwanted freaks and misfits of the wrestling world, and built something never seen before. Is *this* the future of wrestling?

All-American Pro Wrestling has also suffered raids from BSW, losing their marquee star Wayne "the King" Carson. Can they make a new star?

And elsewhere, puroresu stalwart Martial-Arts Strong Style and Mexican wrestling mainstay Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre are both in dire financial straits, with creditors and bankruptcy looming. Can you dust off their tired formulas and usher in a new generation of stars?

Who will win... THE RATINGS WAR?

Newly expanded, TtW '98 has the following 12 companies:

* **Wrestling World Cup:** Reeling from Simon Hill's mass defection, a stale and demoralized roster must regroup and rebuild. While some newcomers have potential, they current booking is a mess, with the lockerroom overrun with stupid gimmicks and toxic troublemakers.
* **Big Shot Wrestling:** BSW's new owner Ed Dixon has a vision: Buy up every successful wrestler on the planet and thus deny it to the competition. His biggest coup of course was signing the WWC defectors led by T-Bone Jones and Simon Hill, but BSW also boasts the most massive collection of superstars in wrestling history. The "Incursion" angle and the shocking heel turn of longtime hero Soldier has created huge buzz throughout the industry. If Dixon can keep egos in check and not alienate his core fanbase, the Ratings War is all but won.
* **Martial-Arts Strong Style:** Once the only game in town, MASS has been blindsided by the massive success of the rival coalition of SJPW and JPJ. MASS is now in dire financial straits. The roster is talented but the upper card continues to hold down an increasingly unhappy lower card. Can new a new booker break MASS's old habits and evolve to meet the new challenges?
* **BLOOD Ring:** TNS's former trainer Mr. Toru has begun a new venture. Gathering the unwanted, the unappreciated and the unusual, BLOOD Ring boasts brutal, bloody matches and over-the-top, controversial angle. Their product is getting noticed, but will they burn bright or burn out fast?
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre:** CSLL lost its biggest stars to talent raids from the north, and it is losing money fast. After years of coasting on the popularity of established stars, and not building new stars fast enough, CSLL is a shadow of its former glory. They need to rebuild and regain their fanbase.
* **All-American Pro Wrestling:** The little 3 of the "Big Three," APW is another victim of the deep pockets of BSW. Headliner Wayne "the King" Carson and top heel "The Chairman" Frankie King have gone off to greener pastures, and owner James Jackson is desperate to keep his company alive. His son James Jackson Jr. is thrilled to be the new "Face of the Company," but is he the right man to fill the big shoes left by the Kings?
* **Super Japan Pro Wrestling:** Sibling companies SJP and JPJ took a big risk bringing North American-style wrestling to Japan, and it paid off. A working agreement with Big Shot Wrestling has led to their own "Incursion" angle with former MASS stars invading both men's and women's brands.
* **Great Lakes Wrestling Federation:** Still going strong a decade after its parent company died, the Little Indie That Could continues to offer an alternative to the cartoony wrestling that the "Big Three" offer. But are good intentions and a loyal fanbase enough to stay afloat with a new upstart BLOOD Ring nipping at their heels?
* **Maritime Wrestling Alliance:** When True North Superstars was bought out, the longtime Eastern Canada regional fed swooped in and claimed the title of "Canada's Wrestling Company." Can the shrug of their isolationist habits and win over the frozen north?
* **West Coast Wrestling Coalition:** Bought out by former "star" Greg Gorgan, WCWC's formula of stealing popular ideas and offering watered-down copies has somehow kept them alive well past their sell-by date. Taking umbrage at MWA's claim to being "Canada's Wrestling Company," Gorgon has decided to go national. Can their trainwreck of a company survive on the national stage?
* **Catch Wrestling Empire:** Across the pond, aging UK stars John "the Giant" Hale and his two greatest nemeses Jolly Sven and "Welsh Dragon" Rys Mason must put aside their differences to withstand the youth revolt led by Rage. An ultra-hot angle and the advent of the internet means CWE may soon be leaving its island home and starting a new British Invasion.
* **Titanic Total Wrestling:** TTW has passed on ownership to Rick Sumpter Jr. and Rick the Younger strives to rebuild his dad's empire. TTW is not one company, but a loose alliance of three indie companies that recognize a single world, world women's and world tag team championship in the attempt to recreate the glory days of the Territories. *Campeonato Lucha Caribe* is the largest member, formerly known as Campeonato Wrestling Caribe, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. *Atlantic Action Wrestling* based in Atlantic City, New Jersey offers a good quality old school feel, while *Mountain Pro Wrestling* from Boulder, Colarado has a more over-the-top carnival feel to it. Whether their territory experiment can succeed of not remains to be seen.

## The World, Tomorrow - TtW 2002

The year is 2002, and the Ratings War is over.

Wrestling World Superstars (Formerly Wrestling World Cup) beat, bankrupted and bought out Big Shot Wrestling, and sits atop the world as the one true Worldwide Leader of Wrestling. Awash with talent, they have decided to bring back their storied *Hostile* and *Conflict* brands! Not since the heyday of Global Wrestling Alliance has one company held so much talent and had so little competition...

But it's lonely at the top, and eager contenders want to have their turn in the sun:

* **New Global Wrestling** (NGW): Former GWA and BSW stars have combined their resources in the hopes of competing against WWS. An aging roster and conflicting egos may kill their aspirations, but they have a lot of potential for innovation if they can cast aside the mistakes of the past.
* **New Era of Wrestling** (NEO): Built on the foundations set by now-defunct Great Lakes Wrestling Federation, Wrestling legend Duke Durante has a vision of wrestling, with hungry young stars and few silly gimmicks. Can he succeed where GLWF failed?
* **Strong Style Reborn** (SSR): Hiroshi Hito and a group of financial backers bought the struggling Martial-Arts Strong Style, and revamped the company. Hito is now eager to conquer the wrestling business. Today Japan, tomorrow, the world.
* **BLOOD Ring** (BLOOD): Mr. Toru's hardcore success story has become the gold standard for innovation. But its stars are getting on in years. An influx of new blood (as it were) is needed.
* **HardKöre Wrestling Xplosion!** (HWX): West Coast Wrestling Alliance owner Greg Gorgon was always ready to steal the latest trendy wrestler gimmick and repackage it and a horrible knockoff. But now he has outdone himself... Riding the Hardcore Wrestling trend, WCWC became HardKöre Wrestling Xplosion! A shameless copy of BLOOD Ring's formula taken TO THE EXTREME!! Meaning even lower-quality workers in even more violent matches and even more raunchy segments. Whether this knockoff can match the success of its "inspiration" remains to be seen.
* **Ultimate Women's Wrestling Universe** (UWWU): Women's Wrestling pioneer Verna Gagnon saw a niche and decided to fill it. No longer would women's wrestling in America be relegated to the undercard and be dragged through the mud as a titillating sideshow. While the big names like WWS and NGW are content to use women wrestlers as an afterthought, UWWU and companies like NEO and CSLL are looking to give women's wrestling its overdue day in the Main Event sun.
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre** (CSLL): The venerable Crown Jewel of Lucha Libre was on its last legs when the legendary La Mujer Mortal swooped in to buy the company. Now for the first time ever female luchadores will graces the ring of CSLL!
* **Rio Grande Extremo** (RGE): Not every luchadore in CSLL was pleased to see La Mujer Mortal take up the reigns. A small cadre led by Mascara Zafiro and old school promoter Julio Huerta have started their own company based smackdab along the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez border. They have a more reckless "outlaw" style compared the the traditions of Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre.
* **Catch Wrestling EMPIRE** (CWE): A UK company that has root going back to the carny days of the early 1900s, it has mastered the "all-in" wrestling style and has been a wrestling staple for as long as anyone remembers. With new technology and hungry new investors, the EMPIRE seeks new lands to conquer. Something needs to change, but it has not changed its top stars in almost 20 years. It it too late?
* **Super Japan Pro Wrestling** (SJPW): After losing ground to Martial-Arts Strong Style, SJP and JPJ are again trying to gain ground against their eternal foe. Their successful annual tournaments are still a huge draw and wrestlers around the world clamber to be part of their legacies. Though the names change, the War in Japan never ends.

## TtW 2010 - The New Ratings War

Times are tough in Wrestling World Superstars. An auto accident saw the death of Sam Hill Jr.'s wife Great Gagnon and his mother Jane Hill, and the career-ending injury of his top star Steve Dallas. Withdrawn and despondent, Sam Hill has lost his passion for wrestling and WWS teeters on the edge of disaster. Top stars have jumped ship, remaining stars feel unappreciated, and fans have soured on the same thing every week. Meanwhile the rising star of the wrestling world New Global Wrestling, has risen from the ashes of Big Shot Wrestling and Global Wrestling Alliance before it to become a legitimate contender for the top stop.

Help WWS rebuild, or play as one of seven other competitors and build a new worldwide leader in the New Ratings War!

* **Wrestling World Superstars** (WWS): Sitting atop the wrestling world for nearly a decade, WWS saw no need to push the envelope beyond their winning formula using the same top stars over and over again. But the crowd are sick of the trite, repetitive booking and numbers have declined since Steve Dallas's retirement. The return of Knightmare for one last run and the signing of indie legend Misery may revive the dying brand, but will potential new stars get overlooked in the process?
* **New Global Wrestling** (NGW): An unlikely combination of nostalgia and risky booking of young hungry stars has paid dividends. Using former GWA and BSW stars and intellectual properties drew in old school fans, and seeding the under card his hungry young daredevils attracted new, jaded "smart" fans. The acquisition of both Catch Wrestling EMPIRE and Ultimate Women's Wrestling Universe swelled the already talented roster, and just as WWS hit a low point, NGW owner Smoke Rogen decided it was time to go head-to-head against the biggest dog. A New Ratings War has begun.
* **NEO Pro Wrestling** (NPW): Duke Durante has built a respectable force with his American Strong Style experiment. NEO has a fanatically loyal fanbase, and now is an ideal time to spread their influence globally.
* **Puroresu Strong Style Worldwide** (PSSW): Back from the brink and ready to conquer, the reborn Martial-Arts Strong Style has drawn a new market from spillover with the intensely popular Mixed Martial Arts. Rejecting the flash and spectacle that are trademarks of the "Royal Road Sports Entertainment" style, owner Hiroshi Hito looks to expand beyond the Home Island.
* **Super Japan** **Puroresu** (SJP): The orphan of once-dominant SJPW and JPJ, SJP employs the very Royal Road style that their competitor PSSW rejects. Appealing to an older and nostalgic demographic and scooping up former disgruntled PSSW stars, Super Japan has begun to employ the Nostalgia + Innovation style that helped New Global Wrestling catch fire.
* **BLOOD Ring** (BLOOD): Mr. Toru's legacy is assured as he turned what was a risky venture into an underground success. Winning the unofficial "Extreme Wars" against Rio Grande Extremo and HardKöre Wrestling Xplosion!, the Grandfathers of Hardcore have bought out HWX. BLOOD Ring is looking to change with the times however, as their core market has grown up and evolved. Offensive gimmicks and bloody matches just won't cut it anymore. Mr. Toru's eye for talent and Greg Gorgon's knack for spotting trends (and shamelessly copying them) may be a winning formula or a recipe for disaster.
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre** (CSLL): The top of the lucha libre food chain for decades, a crumbling economy and aging roster are starting to erode the Crown Jewel of Mexico. CSLL and La Mujer Mortal must rebuild before time leaves them in the dust.
* **Lucha Mundo Revolcion** (LMR): The much-derided "Lucha Sausage Party" of Rio Grande Extremo was doomed before it started. Formed by renegade CSLL workers who refused to work in a co-ed company, it carried a taint of chauvinism that it could not easily shake off. The experiment failed, but former WWS star Rey de la Sombras purchased the company and restructured its format (including a co-ed roster finally). Now a web-based episodic program separated into "seasons," the Lucha Mundo Revolucion mat be the next innovative stage for professional wrestling.

## Today's World - TtW 2019

30 years later...

Old stars have come and gone, their legacies casting long shadows....

Wrestlers who were rookies in 2002 have passed their primes, and now it is time to pass the torch to a new generation...

For the first time, the default company is not the Hill Family. Instead take the helm of one of eight competitors against WWS - or help Wrestling World Superstars crush their opponents.

* **Worldwide Pro Wrestling** (WPW): A local indie with a strong young roster. Gaining a foothold in an already saturated market might be impossible.
* **Super Japan Puroresu** (SJP): The merger of SJPW and JPJ saved both companies, but the Number 2 of Japan is a mere shadow of it past glory. It's focus on the King's Road Style helps it stand alone against PSSW.
* **Wrestling Big Time** (WBT): So new the paint on the belts have not dried yet. WBT is a joint effort of indie stars and disenfranchised WWS castaways. They hope to be a legitimate contender for Number 1 as soon as possible, and are marketing and poaching stars at an unprecedented scale.
* **Puroresu Lucha Libre Worldwide** (PLLW): Martial Arts Strong Style owner Hiroshi Hito and Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre owner La Mujer Mortal have created an international fusion of their company styles to save costs and complement their rosters. Is it an innovative slam dunk, or a trainwreck waiting to happen?
* **NEO Pro Wrestling** (NPW): Formerly New Era Of Wrestling, Duke Durante’s puro experiment has been a huge success, with NEO proudly touting itself as a more serious alternative to the ‘boring cartoon’ of WWS.
* **All Star Global Wrestling** (ASGW): Once tagged as the new Big Shot Wrestling, New Global Wrestling suffered a huge collapse, hemorrhaging money, stars, and prestige. Bought out by the venerable Clarke Wrestling Family, ASGW has moved north of the 49th parallel and is ready to relive the True North Superstars glory days.
* **BLOOD & HONOR** (BLOOD): Moving away from its hardcore roots, BLOOD & HONOR’s owner Mr. Toru has taken his show internationally. Absorbing markets in the UK, Japan and neglected North American venues, they war with NEO for the role of Number 3 of a new "Big Three."
* **Lucha Mundo Revolucion** (LMR): Evolving from Rio Grande Extremo and moving away from the dated hardcore model of its early year, LMR supplanted CSLL at the top of the Mexico Wrestling Food Chain. It boasts the young, hot and hip underground Lucha Libre battleground.
* **Wrestling World Superstars** (WWS): The undisputed *King of the Hill*. Sam Hill’s daughter Sami and son-in-law David Reed run the show, elevate themselves, and bury all contenders. Can you defeat them, or join them?

## TtW 2024 - Tomorrow and Beyond

Welcome to the Future.

**Wrestling Big Time** has become a real contender and threat to the ever-dominant Wrestling World Superstars.

The market is booming! Play as one of 18 unique wrestling companies - the largest collection of competitors yet - or play as industry king WWS and destroy all challengers.

The World is Yours.

* **Wrestling Big Time:** Taking a chance, former BSW star Playboy Pat Scott created WBT as a sanctuary for the stars "left behind" while WWS force-fed the world its image of "Sports Entertainment." While some of its founders have moved onwards or upwards, those who remain have built a real competitor and new stars have risen such as Man-O-War and Maledicto. Additionally WBT has just inked the deal to acquire the assets of Worldwide Pro Wrestling and its workers and titles are now part of the expanding Big Time umbrella. But other competitors came this far before and fell flat. Will WBT makes the same mistakes, or the world of tomorrow belong to them?
* **Wrestling World Superstars:** When you have been Number 1 this long, you forget the risks and innovations that took you to the top. Like the song said, "you trade your passion for glory." WWS has recently expanded into a third brand, "Chaos" which looks to showcase new homegrown stars before tossing them into the main shows Hostile and Conflict. After the WBT exodus of names like Leo Babylon and Dave Dream, Sam Hill went on a hiring blitz, poaching big names like "King of the Indies" Conrad Steen (renamed Steve Conners), former PSSW Ace Brian Bradley, and the iconic tag team of Reich & Magnusson. The irony of WWS becoming the very thing it once fought against is not lost on long-time wrestling fans.
* **Global Joint Promotions Wrestling:** Speaking of other competitors that came this far before and fell flat, Global Wrestling did just that . From its dizzying heights of 2010 and the Second Ratings War, to touring the backroads of Canada as ASGW in 2019, Global has been to the top and the bottom. However, owner Brian Clarke is not the quitting type, and has built ASGW back up to where it gained a new national broadcast deal and now they have taken ownership of the successfully International Joint Promotions Wrestling. The partnership of Wrestling Japan Unlimited and Gran Lucha Libre Mexicana has expanded the markets of all three promotions, selling out shows across Canada, Japan and Mexico. Can they break back into the US market as well>
* **BLOOD & HONOR:** Mr. Toru's great experiment is a textbook example of changing with the times. The "Hardcore" fad faded, and the "Pure" model alienated casual fans. BLOOD & HONOR offers a taste of both but still recognizes that pro wrestling is a soap opera with choreographed dance fighting. While never insulting the fans' intelligence, B&H still offer compelling drama to compliment its exciting in-ring product.
* **Super Japan Pro Wrestling** (SJPW): Rebuilt after the mass exodus of Wrestling Japan Unlimited, SJWP is firmly back as the "Two" of the Japanese Big Two promotions. It's even prestigious Super Cruiser Invitational Tournament continues to the be the Gold Standard of annual tournaments, and it seeks to knock PSSW of its Number One pedestal once again.
* **NEO Pro Wrestling:** From its early days as GWA's cast-off training territory, Duke Durante's Pure Experiment has been a huge success. Its three tenets of No One Over 30, No Stupid Gimmicks and No Nepotism make for a very limited but very hungry roster.
* **Puroresu Strong Style Worldwide**: The fixture of Japanese Wrestling for over 50 years, PSSW is busily trying to build up new "pillars" as its roster has aged and suffered raids from competitors. The Gaijin "Hit Squad" faction continues to dominate, but the act is growing stale and needs either to evolve or expire.
* **Joshi Puroresu Japan:** JPJ has had some ups and down. It has abandoned its lofty heights as Joshi Puroresu Worldwide and has returned to the Home Island to lick its wounds. But new owner Sadako Nakano is ready to start from scratch and has opened the doors to all woman from all corners of the globe to re-conquer the world of women's wrestling.
* **Consejo Supremo de Lucha Libre:** CSdLL has been around since the early 20th Century and despite competitors big and little, local and abroad, the Great-Grandfather of Lucha Libre continues to go strong. But new owner Emmanuel Jovica is seeing his market slip and he needs a fresh new booker to keep the Supremo supremo.
* **Titanic Total Wrestling:** TTW Marc Blair knows the wrestling business. Marc Blair IS the wrestling business. Ever since he bought the company and abandoned its endless attempts to resurrect the Territory system, Titanic Total Wrestling has sidled its way to becoming a protentional Number Three to North America's Big Two. The top draw Terry Gold is passing the torch to his son Barry Gold, just as his father passed it to him. The Gold family has kept TTW alive since the Territories died. Can young Barry fill these huge shoes?
* **GLAM! Wrestling:** What had started as a tongue-in-cheek nostalgic shout-out ha become the most successful women's wrestling company in the world, tipping the old champion JPJ of the Number One spot. But like the dog that chases the car, what will it do when it catches it? GLAM! has to build on its success but becoming more than just a trip down memory lane. To kick that metaphor to death, it now has to pave a road to the future!
* **Pacific Coast Championship Wrestling:** The Pacific Northwest wrestling scene has always been a... unique one. From the derivative and laughably cheap WCWC, to the ridiculously hazardous HardKöre Wrestling Xplosion! and now PCCW, fans from Alaska to Oregon are never bored. Big Bob Gorgon follows the family tradition of pushing his family of questionable talent, and stealing popular trends from more successful companies. Somewhere, Greg Gorgon is looking down (or up) and smiling.
* **LUCHAmerica Revolucion!:** An unexpected success story, LUCHAmerica was an internet phenomenon that gained mainstream fans among the American Latino communities to become second only CSdLL as the biggest Lucha Libre company in the world. Joining forces with and absorbing the fanbase of Lucha Mundo Revolucion has given LUCHAmerica a huge boost of credibilty, and it is time to take the act to the next level.
* **Campeonato Wrestling Caribe:** CWC has ruled Caribbean wrestling scene for decades, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ever-present Esteban Family continues to reign over the company, with Carlos' grandson Carlos Esteban III taking over the ownership. Even now he is working towards a Fifth Generation of Estebans, as his own son and cousins and nephews are ready to pass the torch onto theirs. However a new challenger to the Caribbean Crown has emerged...
* **Five Star Wrestling Federation:** The legendary Lanny Patterson has opened a new wrestling company, based in Tampa Florida. This wild carival of crazy gimmicks promotes all along the Gulf Coast and offers new competition to CWC in the Caribbean. With the legendary Creed Family and Lanny's own brother Andy Ravage adding extra clout, this freak show might be the next big show.
* **Central Canada Championship Wrestling:** "Three Cee Dub" (as its rabid fans are wont to chant) is based in Toronto Ontario, hugging the US border; its coverage goes as far west as Winnipeg, east to Montreal and does shows in Michigan and Minnesota. The spiritual successor of O Canada Wrestling of old is attempting to create a truly Canadian brand and highlight talent that might not get a chance to shine elsewhere. Wrestling Legend Claude L'Ombre is keenly aware what Canadian wrestling fans wants and he is keen to bring it to them.
* **Pro Wrestling Gold Coast:** A hybrid of Sports Entertainment and scripted episodic television, this wrestling company is based in Oakland and tours along California and Baja with an annual show in Hawaii. It boasts such innovations as a co-ed tag team division, the "Nice & Tidy" division that has a strict set of rules of conduct, and outlandish gimmick matches such as the Soil Snoozer (a SPOOOOKY Buried Alive match) and the San-Fran Gold Rush (A 6-8 person meless with a match contract prize). Will they revolutionize wrestling, or collapse under the weight of their own gimmickry?
* **Undisputed Pro Wrestling:** UPW snakes along the Mississippi from Cincinnati to New Orleans. This company is a throwback to the ancient pre-territory days of the 1960s, and is based in St. Louis. Owned by All-American Pro Wrestling legend Kirk Jablonski. While a firmly rooted company that shies away from the excess of Sports Entertainment weirdness, it still puts on an entertaining show that waxes nostalgic for the APW days of old.
