Back in 2005 / 2006, I had a fantasy wrestling league going on for several of the Yahoo groups I participated in. It was my version of the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and eventually, much like the real NWA, it became WCW (World Championship Wrestling). It consisted of two "shows" a week (Danger Zone Wrestling) and "Wrestling All-Star Review" aka "W.A.R." for short, as well as one "pay per view" per month. It was a mixture of older wrestlers and then-current wrestlers and towards the end, a few younger wrestlers that I brought in to help promote and make stars. There were 83 "shows" in all before I ended up pulling the plug on my "company".
I had a great time doing this and it was really cool for me to use so many of my favorite wrestlers from many different eras, create my own storylines and try to keep things as real and logical as possible. I'll post a few chapters or "shows" each day until I get the entire run of my fantasy NWA / WCW published. The "shows" are in chronological order and tell the stories and happenings from a "show recap" point of view. (At the time, I was recapping RAW and Sunday Night Heat each week for the so that's the style I was most comfortable with.) And you, the readers, get to "see" the shows just as you would if you were going to a website to keep up with your favorite wrestling program instead of actually watching. I think it worked out pretty well and got a great reaction and participation from everyone who read it at the time.
The match outcomes were always determined by letting the poeple in my wrestling groups at Yahoo vote on different match-ups and picking the winners of each match. And I'd write the "show" accordingly. I was never sure exactly how things would go week to week and the shows kind of wrote themselves sometimes.
Anyhow, I"m planning on doing the entire "run" of my NWA / WCW fantasy company here. And after that, who knows? We might just have to do here what Vince won't and "bring back WCW". Let me know what you think of my "shows" and if, when all is said and done, should I start it all over again with a new beginning and a new version of "Where the Big Boy's Play?" I"m willing to give it a shot.
Anyhow, enjoy the "shows" and thank you for reading.
By the way, WCW and most of the wrestlers listed belong to either Vince McMahon, the WWE or themselves. The National Wrestling Alliance belongs to itself. I don't own anyone or anything (but surely wish I did). I'm just borrowing everyone to create some wrestling excitement.
