Main Company Descriptions

**World of Wrestling**

The Premiere wrestling company in 2008. Run by Lenore Pecking, WoW is largely focused on pushing wrestling as a television brand, and the company has become the most recognizable in the game. WoW controls not only the North American market but the global market as a well. It's split into two television brands, Monday Night Strike and Friday Night Rush. Monday Night Strike's booking team consists of Pecking and his best friend and star Matt Manderling. Strike is the more popular of the two shows. It is often apparent Manderling's booking choices rely on supporting he and his friends, most of them having more family friendly characters, accomplishments over putting on a good show. This leads to Strike being more appealing to Pecking's idea of a successfully marketed show as opposed to Rush, which often brings in more loyal wrestling fans. Rush is booked by Jonathan North and Bradley Simmons. North is seen as one of the greatest minds in wrestling and his masterful booking and backstage schemes is the most important factor for WoW taking over the global wrestling market against World Wrestling Royalty. Bradley Simmons is North's young student, he had been a writer in a very minor role in the late 90's that North had seen potential in. He took him under his wing and made him his co-booker, going as far as to declare him his successor in 2007. Rush is booked far closer to how those that closely follow wrestling would enjoy, North relying on his skills to find trends in the business and capitalizing on them. This creates a divide between he and Pecking, as Pecking will more often attempt to book a more mainstream product and create his own trends (often failing at doing so). This has led to the largest divide in the companies history and loyalty between these two men and their respective brands creates conflict within the company.

**Empire Worldwide Champions**

Looking to take over the spot as biggest and best in the world. Founded 2008 Andrew Aubrey Jr, the son of one of the WoW co-founders and the booker of WWR. Aubrey has already gathered some of the best mainstream and indie wrestlers in the world to rival WoW's equally stacked roster. He's not going to stop there, Aubrey wants to create the best roster in the world and the best wrestling show alongside it.

Japan Wrestling Championship Summit

The largest non NA based company in the world, JWCS runs the Japanese wrestling market. Focuses on pure wrestling talent and storylines often align with the wrestlers pursuit of a title or tournament. The company has a storied history in Japan, and has dominated the country for over fifty years. Currently booked by former star Jumbo Kurosawa. He has become known for furthering a sense of isolation in Supreme Japan. The company would rather take talent than create a working relation. Despite the fact that plenty of wrestling fans do not like this strategy, it cannot be denied that this method has worked for the company.

**Guerrilla Warfare Pro**

The largest indie wrestling company in the world, known for connecting with fans and filling smaller but more loyal venues. Takes themselves very seriously, see themselves as the most pure wrestling in the world. Lance Little continues to push the standard of indie wrestling through booking the most talented freelance stars. Founded 1999.

**Guerrilla Warfare Mexico**

Formerly the biggest Lucha company south of the US (founded 1952), known as Asociación de Lucha Libre Centroamericana, they had to go for sale due to bad business practices. Bought out by Lance Little in 2005, they were rebranded to Guerrilla Warfare Mexico. The fans do not like this rebrand very much, often leading to bad turnouts. The talent still mantain a high workrate and try their best to put on quality matches.

**MEGA JAPAN**

MEGA prides itself in being the second largest company to occupy Japan. They have become known for combining their own strong style with the styles with other established wrestling styles. This made them a great ally for GWP, who they had connected themselves with in 2002. They were founded 1990.

**United Kingdom Wrestling Conglomerate**

UKWC dominates the UK and Europe as a whole. Relied heavily on older talent up until just a few years ago. Starting to be able utilize younger talent with their newfound partnerships with NWL and UAW. Malcolm Ament has very high ambitions for the company, and booker Jim Killigen gives he and his friends plenty of creative freedom. Founded 1967.

**National Wrestling League**

After floundering in small indie promotions and running his gym, Johnny Peacemaker is gathering up his students and old friends to run his own wrestling company, nobody telling him how to run it but himself. Closer to cartoon gimmicks than realism, embraces the goofiness of wrestling. Many blame a loss of star power on NWL as many of their talent migrated from the company (Shameless, Chris Aust, and Justin Oshenic). Founded 2004.

**United Asia Wrestling**

Kun Xinyi, much like Peacemaker, felt lost in the Asian realm of pro-wrestling. He too gathered up friends he made in wrestling as well as mentors and hot prospects lost in the shuffle. Peacemaker had seen the potential for expansion with the foundation of the company and the two quickly joined forces. He and his teacher Elder Rokuro joined together in 2006 to unite not just Japan but Asia as a whole in wrestling.

**Pro-Explosion-Japan**

Up until the introduction of American Deathmatch, P-E-J were still figuring themselves out and even nearly went of business in the mid to late nineties (they were carried through this period by Ryu Takeshita, Giant Gojira, and Shunji Takayama). They used alliances with newer US deathmatch wrestlers and are still relatively thriving today, albeit relying on older less over talent. Are unable to create significant feeling matches in the modern day and often have to bring in foreign talent to fued with Gojira, Takeshita, and Masashi Michonoki.

**The Death of Wrestling**

Death of Wrestling has the most diehard fans in wrestling, talent such as Max Huxley, No Survivors, and Gravedigger are seen as icons to them. DoW has revolutionized hardcore wrestling with their evolution of violence since 1998, when they were founded by Byron B. Wright. While the fans are still satisfied with the product there is an internal worry that there is not enough star power in DoW. No Survivors is half of what it used to be with only Till Gesser remaining in the company and Gravedigger has migrated to his own company, taking plenty of potential stars with him. Max Huxley remains, always putting DoW ahead of himself and always ready to lead the company into it's next chapter.

**United States of Death**

USD, founded by DoW star Gravedigger, is America's less serious deathmatch wrestling counterpart. Often embraces crazier match stipulations and gimmicks, while still obtaining a predisposition for violence. Founded in 2005 when Gravedigger felt that one major deathmatch company was not enough and brought in students and friends to found United States of Death. There are no ill feelings between the companies and they have a very close working relationship. USD is seen as the best off of the three major deathmatch companies as they have cultivated some of the most talented and loyal wrestlers on the market.
