An impenetrable plum of cloud-like smoke encompasses the dimly lit room as he lazily peers over the top of his jet black rayband sunglasses; repositioning an intensely laced joint across his vodka moistened lips. The corner of his mouth is raised in an extreme manner, projecting an image of absolute arrogance as he sinks deeper into the richly manufactured couch beneath his weight; acting like a theoretical royal thrown for the ‘King’ himself: The ‘King of the Porn Industry’.

 

Scantily clad women sensually ‘dance’ for his pleasure, much like a court jester was once called on to entertain the royals of the land, creating an overall environment much like we were entrenched in one of his recent ‘masterpieces’. Bodies are everywhere, sexual acts being performed at every turn; and yet, we are here on business. Then again, in reality, THIS is his business.

 

VIP treatment in Los Angeles is unlike anything you would typically expect from ‘Hollywood’. There is no glitz, no glamour, just continuous, dirty, sex , immense amounts of free alcohol, and a never-ending supply of hard drugs; enough to kill a small horse if given the chance. The romantic beauty of the ‘Tinsel Town’ narrative is all a façade; a fabrication brought forth by those who watch from afar, unaware of the true underground nature that currently resides in the City of Angels.

 

Angels?

 

The truth couldn’t be more laughably ironic.

 

I was but a commoner blessed with the company of royalty; seated within his own very kingdom. Wenches, ‘Sex Zombies’, and severely intoxicated ‘hanger-ons’, all fill the surreal stage as his simple offer began to take form. Within the fray of his psychedelic rant, occasionally losing focus in which to run his hands across another unnamed beauty passing by his line of blurring sight, I was given an unmatchable opportunity.

 

  • Free range creatively; no limitations, no abiding by societal norms, no ‘watering down’ in which to appease the masses.

     

  • A doubling of my Coastal Zone pay; offering me a sense of wealth once thought impossible to a ‘black sheep’ engrossed by the romanticism of the Independent Scene.

     

  • An organization that would give the ability to live my life as I see fit; no longer being socially demonized for my usage of, what the masses claim to be, ‘Soft Drugs’.

     

  • ELITE would give me the opportunity to embrace the "Black Sheep" label that many have come to place upon me; ushering in an entire product centered around that very idea.

     

  • And, the ability to permanently acquire Los Angeles as my place of residence; accepting a furnished loft from the ‘King’ himself in the process.

 

I was asked to help construct an organization worthy of the ‘Bad Boy’ mentality he had come to cultivate. The atmosphere circulating around his vision was cemented in the never-exhausted pull for controversy; pining for another ‘industry’ in which to conquer while still utilizing the one that ‘brought him to the dance’. It is to be, in his words exactly,

 

“The greatest fusion of sex, violence, drugs, and free-form art; A modern-day oasis for those seeking the freedom of expressing oneself. Aggressive Avant-garde at it’s most pure. We will be the voice of generation. The resounding F*ck you to ‘Mainstream America’.”

 

As I attempt to make eye contact with his ‘majesty’, ignoring the clan of psychedelic animals floating in between the huddle of naked 20-somethings partaking in a mass display of promiscuous love, it all comes rushing to the edge of my lips much like submerged individual cries out for the air-above.

 

“F*ck yea, man. Sign me up!”

 

It didn’t end there. I spent the next three-days with Shifty; tearing through a bender that would make most bohemians envious. At the close of our mind-altering days of personal indulgence, I find myself half-naked; laying facedown upon the grand marble floor of his 3 story estate. Our connection had been sealed; at this point there was no going back. My days in CZCW had come to a fizzling end; replaced by the limitless possibilities that come with a full creative license within the framework of… The ELITE.

This will be amazing, I have no doubt about that. And maybe just maybe we will see Acedia make his return to your diary!:D

More shows and action, less "character backgrounds" and stuff please! I felt they ate a lot of your time and didn't provide very much, but your shows were great. So that's my request!

 

Just to say I like the character backgrounds, please don't cut down on them, more of the same as your other diaries, don't change the winning formula or re-invent the wheel

(I was going to wait to write people back until some of the initial posts were up but I couldn’t find the heart to do so. With that said, I’m going to try to get to as many of you as possible; focusing in on those who levied questions that call for more than a ‘thank you’. Overall, though, I’m truly grateful for what you’ve wrote thus far. Now, onto my responses….)<hr color="black">

 

 

Hell yeah, E-V goes Rated R!

 

Cannot wait to see Remmy's roster!

Pleased that you are going through with this idea can't wait too see the roster and when you get started, glad you're back so soon!

Looking good, E-V! Looking forward to reading this one and seeing where you go.

 

 

Thank you all for your support straight out of the gate! I promise, on top of everything, that this diary will potentially be unlike anything you’ve ever read before. I mean, it’s pretty hard to really distinguish a difference from one diary to the next; but, ELITE Pro Wrestling has such a unique product that there’s no way it can’t feel ‘organic’. On top of that, I’ve created a number of people (the owner, a few porn stars, and two ‘F’ popularity guys who I wanted to create within the active roster; one of them is terrible in the ring, like REALLY terrible, but his character will be awesome!), so, it should really feel ‘new’ in a lot of ways. With that said, I have a few background posts in which to give you a better idea about these created characters. Actually, my next post will actually be a background of ELITE’s owner himself, ‘Shifty’ Kazimir. Thank you to SELF for rendering him as, without him, this project would have felt somewhat hollow.

 

àYou can expect that, as well as ‘company information’, and an initial roster, to be the next few posts coming through. Most of them are already written up; however, I’m not really sure what the time frame will be as it pertains to when they’ll see the ‘light of day’. I guess, if you’re interested already, keep checking back to see the next few posts in which to get a better idea of what ELITE is all about.

 

(Or, look in the default database for future companies and you’ll get to see ELITE in all it’s glory there too).

 

As it pertains to ‘Remmy’s roster’, that won’t be up for a bit as I’m slowly working through the characters as we speak. I don’t want to rush it as I really do want each character to have a thought-out feeling to them. Plus, I’m trying to add some unique personas into the mix; so, as you can expect, it takes a lot of focus and external insight. Believe me though, it will be unlike ANY OTHER roster in the Cornellverse; I can tell you that. Quirky, Crazy, Sadistic, Psychotic, and overtly brash. A roster worthy of ‘Shifty’s’ ELITE Pro Wrestling…. ;)

To be honest, this diary will carry less ‘backstage stuff’. I’m not saying that it won’t be there, as that’s how I work as a writer on these boards; however, I’m coming at this project more from a typical diary (versus a Novel perspective). My approach is often rooted in giving you a feel for how the company feels all together (background and foreground) and I don’t totally plan on changing that; as I really do want to get into Remmy & his surroundings much like what happened with John Greed and PSW. I guess, in the end, this diary will feel more like Greed/PSW than Eisen/SWF. What I mean by that is background information will be conveyed; however, it will have more of a purpose than in my SWF novel. In that case, I was trying to flesh out Eric Eisen, and his family, as it was more of a character study than an actual diary. Overall, though, have no fear as this dynasty will carry more of a typical attempt.

 

This will be amazing, I have no doubt about that. And maybe just maybe we will see Acedia make his return to your diary!:D

 

Acedia could make a return….

 

I’m not totally sure to be honest. I don’t want this to feel like PSW 2.0 just with a new booker, Remmy Skye. With that said, however, there are a few PSW’ites who will be making their debut with ELITE. For those who read through the start of ’The Evolution of Greed’ you can expect to see:

 

The Butcher

Disco Hugh

And

Larry Wood (under a new character’s name. I felt that ‘KILLER Colossus’ was John Greed’s baby. That said, I wanted to give him a new direction, and to be honest, I think I like this depiction a little more. Why? It fits Larry’s original theme pretty well but still gives him more of a menacing, horror-flick, kind of guy.)

 

So yea, some PSW guys as you can see; however, I’m going to do my best to give ELITE it’s own feel versus PSW. In a way, PSW was more ‘upstanding’ than ELITE. Ha. I don’t know how that’s possible but ELITE has a little more of a company-wide brashness, and extreme quirkiness, to it where as PSW was more about glory, pride, and survival.

 

 

I personally would love some of the PSW crew to come to this. Oh, and Ant-Man....with the FOOOOOOOOOOOOORCE FLOWING THROUGH HIS VEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!

 

Ant-Man is def. a possibility; especially the gimmicky version of his character. Hmmmmm... I like the way you think. ;)

 

Looking good. This seems like my kinda thing. :)

 

A special ‘thank you’ goes out to you, Self. If it wasn’t for your amazingness of rendering ‘Shifty’ for me from scratch then this may not have come together. You did a great job of really adding an element of reality to this whole project. Plus, ‘Shifty’ looks exactly as I had envisioned him; so, from an artistic perspective, you ‘tore the roof off’.

 

I know you seemed really down in your other dynasty and were questioning taking some time away or what you were going to do. It seems like you're back so thats good. I was hoping you'd do 97 like you had talked about but the logo is really cool good luck :)

 

Yea, I found myself struggling to really relate with the John Greed character at the point that I was at. While I had some small facets in common with John, A lot of it was very foreign to me. Plus, at that point, he had worked through PSW, DOA, and then 4C. It just felt like ‘his time was up’. I think It was less about not being in ‘that place’ and more with feeling like his story was told. Honestly, as a writer, I feel he peaked in PSW anyways. From there no out, everything kinda started to unravel slightly.

 

Now, with Remmy, I’m able to find things to relate with him on. Being a glutton for creativity, being a ‘black sheep’ in some ways, and an all-around philosophical thinker (that goes with artists most times); these are all things I can relate with pretty heavily. That said, the drug use will ‘again’ be outside of my typical process; but, I’ve had a lot of conversation about the matter as my wife is going to med school for addiction. With that said, and having a psychology minor as well, this is pretty easy to formulate (especially seeing how I watch a lot of documentaries on the subject; both for personal interest and for my wife).

 

I thought about doing a 1997 diary, but in the end, couldn’t get away from how cool ELITE seemed. I, honestly, don’t think there is a more unique company out there than this one. Plus, it’s in the ‘future companies’ section, so, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone attempt a diary about them yet. So, in a way, that gives me ‘first dibs’ to put my stamp on the deal (much like Shamrock was able to do with PSW before I took over).

 

I guess, I’ve come to find that I write best for companies that are more ‘cult’ in base. Why? I really like the darker side of art. I’m not a depressive or anything, but am an Artist myself, so this always seems to intrigue me. Also, I have quite a hefty ‘anti-authority’ complex underneath it all personally. Haha. So, the brashness of ELITE intrigues me greatly. Not to mention, I’m a huge fan of ‘quirky’ and that’s exactly how ‘LA Hardcore’ would be to me (after spending a lot of time in LA).

Just something that I forgot to ask before, is this taking place in the Greed-Verse or is this another reality?

 

Another reality. I started all over with the default database as I wanted to finally step away from the Greed-verse. This way, everything is fresh & new. Good question.

With John ‘Shifty’ Kazimir being a created individual within the Cornellverse, specific to this diary alone, I thought it would be best to give a bullet-pointed biography of the 30’something Porn Entrepreneur. As you can see, it’s a little extensive, so, if you don’t want to read it through out then I understand. With that said, if you really want to follow the ELITE story, It may be good to at least have an idea of what Shifty is all about. Below is a framework for his life: where he came from, what drives him, and the controversies he’s created along the way. More or less, take some time (even over a couple of days if you like) in which to get a general idea of the man. Truthfully, It will be more meaningful to follow his thoughts, mannerisms, and approach, if you know about the man behind ELITE Pro Wrestling (as well as ELITE Adult Entertainment, and the Déjà vu Night Club in Los Angeles, CA). With that said, here you are…. The story of how John Kazimir became ‘Shifty’ Kazimir.

 

 

  • Shifty Kazimir was born Johnathan Kazimir on November 17th 1976.

     

     

  • He is the second generation within the Kazimir family to grow-up in California; his grandparents emigrated from Romania to California in 1954. With this in mind, John does not carry a Romanian accent when he speaks; however, can speak fluent Romanian when surrounded with like people. With such a strong family dichotomy, it was impossible for someone of John’s background to grow up without an extensive knowledge of his home countries language; especially when his grandparents, to their dying day, did not speak English.

     

     

  • While growing up, John was constantly surrounded by poverty. His grandparents were forced to work until their dying day, collecting minimum wage positions from nearby farms, as his own parents were continuously struggling to simply ‘stay afloat’ financially. This hectic lifestyle instilled a sense of obsession, as it pertains to money, from a very young age. Dramatically inspiring the youthful Kazimir to personally over-step the bounds of poverty; vowing, and succeeding later in life, the throws of such limitations and developing a fortune based upon humanities one strongest, and ever-lasting, vibe: Sex.

     

     

  • John discovered a love for Pro Wrestling from a very young age as he use to watch Saturday morning wrestling events on TV with his Father. Their black-and-white, 10 inch, family TV only received 2 channels on a ‘good day’; however, it just so happens that this local wrestling show was on one of those channels. Later in his life, Shifty would attribute Pro Wrestling as the ultimate ‘adhesive’ as it pertains to his early relationship with his Father. In a 2009 autobiography, one that sold moderately well within the US, this narrative was continually brought up; proclaiming that the ‘art of Pro Wrestling’ was the one thing that he, and his father, shared together. Even while living in poverty, Saturday mornings stood as a moment to bask in the beauty that is ‘parental love’.

     

     

  • John’s father passed away in 1995 due to complications with colon cancer. Now, at the ripe age of 19, John was ferociously cast into the role as the ‘man of the family’; expected to bring in a hefty income in which to keep his Mother, and younger Brother, afloat. Fearing the ability to find steady employment, and typically one who was almost ‘allergic’ to the typical 9-5 mantra most Americans fall into, John started to look toward unique opportunities for money (Needing to make substantial amounts of cash without having to claim any of it in the process; leaving more money for the family as a whole).

     

     

  • Six months later, John Kazimir was cast in his first porno flick after practically begging area Adult Entertainment companies to accept him as an ‘entertainer’. It was at this point that John Kazimir became ‘Shifty’; an alter-ego that would later come to control every fiber of his being. John’s family wouldn’t know of his controversial occupation until 5 years later; keeping it a secret from them as he basks in the underground glory of the ‘Porn Industry’. Sex, Smoking, Drinking, Soft Drugs, Hard Drugs, Legal problems… You name it; ‘Shifty’ was in the middle of it. With all of that though, the amount of money that was coming in was truly staggering; giving the Kazimir family the room to finally ‘breathe for once’. His mother would continually ask him how he could gain such an income without a college education; but, John always had an answer in which to steer her off course. In the end, I don’t know if she ever really ‘cared’ to know how he was gaining the money… Simply happy to have it there with no real questions asked.

     

     

  • After a string of successful porn flicks, ‘Shifty’ made the grand gesture of developing his own ‘Adult Entertainment Company’; dubbing it ELITE Adult Entertainment in the fall of 2001. Realistically, as the porn industry began to truly boom at this period in time, Kazimir was the first ‘adult entrepreneur’ to offer an ‘Ala-cart-esque’ kind of approach to sex. His laundry list of ‘talent’ encompassed all races, sexes, religions, creeds, and cultural facets. He had emo chicks, goth chicks, cheerleaders, business women, etc. In a sense, if there was a certain kind of girl you were attracted to… ‘Shifty’ had them in his arsenal. This approach scored BIG within the porn industry; catapulting his small, mom-and-pop, ‘Adult Entertainment Company’ into a national powerhouse on the ‘Sex Scene’.

     

     

  • In 2006, ‘Shifty’ opened his first night club in the ‘sex district’ of Los Angeles entitled ‘Déjà vu’. The club was met with astounding praise within the ‘party scene’ of the LA area; quickly becoming a hot-spot for musicians, artists, actors, and politicians to secretly partake in the club’s ‘orgy-like-nature’. As expected, the highest of all high clients were often ushered in through a back entrance; giving them the ability to step away from the ‘lime-light’ and ‘enjoy the fruits of their vices’. ‘Déjà vu’ only added to ‘Shifty’s’ overall net worth as such high clientele brought forth a hefty addition to his income. With that said, Kazimir had transitioned from being a small potatoes porn producer into an all-out cultural phenomenon.

     

     

  • His public persona isn’t as beloved as it may sound though. ‘Shifty’ was charged by the US Government for ‘Drug Crimes’ in 2008. At that time, Federal officials felt that ‘Shifty’ was in the middle of an elaborate drug-ring; smuggling large loads of cocaine from Mexico and disbursing it through out the greater Los Angeles area in the process. Allegedly, Kazimir was using his ‘talent’ (adult film stars) to act as his ‘pushers’; passing along the drugs as if clients were simply buying a candy bar from a girl scout. After a lengthy court battle, ‘Shifty’ was found not-guilty by a jury of his peers in June of 2009. Almost instantly after the verdict was read, people began to question whether or not his verdict was found ‘legally’. There were rumors that ‘shifty’, and his associates, paid off the jury members in which to keep the ‘Adult Juggernaut’ in business. Either way, he was a free man; at least for now. Was he dealing, or having others deal on his behalf? This has never really been proven; however, outcasted sources formerly within his inner circle claim that he’s still doing so; on a very large scale.

     

     

  • In an interview following the not-guilty verdict, ‘Shifty’ told a local culture magazine that he was on the verge of developing a life-long dream of his: Opening a Pro Wrestling company. At first, his announcement seemed like a joke to many; however, as the ball began to roll, it was obvious that he was serious about this new venture. Labeling it as ‘toxic’, most TV stations were extremely against the notion of airing such, as they called it, ‘filth’; touching upon ‘Shifty’s’ negative public persona as a reason for not taking on the program. In the end, with so much backlash forming within the Pro Wrestling industry (and the greater entertainment industry), ‘Shifty’ decided to leave his ‘labor of love’ as a local venture; even removing his name from the actual business write-up in the process. That said, everyone knows that it’s HIS baby. Why? ELITE Pro Wrestling shares the same name as his entertainment company: ELITE Adult Entertainment. In a way, this goes as a half-in/half-out mentality as he’s able to steer clear of any business linkage; however, leaves it known that he’s most likely in charge of it’s development.

     

     

  • While some feel that his latest venture is just a ‘momentary itch’, those who know John (not ‘Shifty’) know that this has been, as he said, a life-long dream. He was very adamant, and overtly emotional, when touching upon his late Father & their shared interest in ‘the sport’. Ultimately, it’s expected that this decision was made in honor of his Father; bringing a sense of nostalgia to his own life as he’s now in the middle of the Pro Wrestling mix. Even if it’s only in Los Angeles at this point.

     

     

  • While he may have grown up watching the traditional product of the 70’s and 80’s, ‘Shifty’s’ envisioned product for ELITE is easily a fusion of himself (john) and the ‘Shifty’ persona that has come to define his life. While it’s recognizably Pro Wrestling at it’s root, ELITE also carries the same fixture that comes with his ‘Adult Entertainment’. Sex, drugs, and violence reign supreme in his life now (and have been for quite some time). For that fact, the companies product has taken on the very nature that his personal life carries; all the way down to ELITE’s mantra…. “The Bad Boys of Pro Wrestling”.

This looks awesome! Especially if you do bring in Ant Man. :)

 

I made the offer; however, we'll see if he'll accept as A LOT of people have turned me down due to the 'Risque nature' of ELITE's product. If he accepts then I'll probably go ahead and bring him on board. At this point, I have roughly around 30 active wrestlers on the roster. It may seem a little hefty for a 'small' company, but, with such a violent product bringing potential injuries, it seems like a good idea to have a lot on board.

The biography of ELITE owner, Shifty Kazimir, can be found on the last page; final post. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up just incase it gets overlooked.

Whilst I was saddenend to see the end of your SWF diary just as it was getting into your stride, I can understand why you've moved onto a new project. I would have done the same thing.

 

However this once again looks to be something, awesome and unique ; and to be honest I was getting a bit bored of everyone doing SWF or USPW :p:D

 

There are many talented writers on this board but you really do have a creative mind for storytelling and adding depth of character to everyone that appears in your diaries, that perhaps can't be parallelled elsewhere.

I'm glad to see this is a new univsere. Its fun to make dnyasties an organic growth from the last one by including it in the same universe but at the same time it can start to feel rehashed after a while. I look forward to this if nothing else. Good Luck!!

wow.... :eek:

 

That is quite a powerful 'nod' coming from someone of your caliber, TigerKinney. Honestly, I enjoy what I do here on the boards; I'm a writer to the core of my existence. For that stand point, I genuinely look forward to crafting these worlds; using the Cornellverse as my backdrop for creation. Sound too much of an artistic look upon a simple game? Sure. I'll give someone that. However, it really does feel like an opportunity to 'flesh out' a slew of unique characters (especially when you have the amazing opportunity to work with ReapeR, Jhd1, and KAM as it pertains to creating an overall 'look' for each wrestler, title belt, and logos).

 

I'll slow down my rambling and simply say, "Thank you", TigerKinney. It's much appreciated to have you say such a thing. I'm a big fan of your work so it really does hit home.

I agree 100%. It was fun to flesh out the Greed-verse as far as it went; however, in the end, it was time to send it off into the infinite abyss. ha. I'm excited about what will happen this time around; especially with such an interesting company in my focus. :D

ELITE Pro Wrestling

"The Bad Boys of Pro Wrestling"

 

 

http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab198/ELITEProWrestling/Misc%20Images/barbed_wire.jpg

Company Profile

Using the tagline "The Bad Boys Of Pro Wrestling", ELITE Pro Wrestling are a group who play heavily on their (self proclaimed) status as the most rebellious promotion of the modern era.

 

Based in Los Angeles, ELITE promote a hardcore product with an emphasis on blood, violence and hot girls. Unashamedly controversial, they take perverse delight in crossing the line of good taste and decency as often as possible.

 

ELITE have strong links to the LA porn scene (there are rumours that most of their investors are actually porn companies), and often flaunt that by having performers make cameos on their shows.

ELITE Product Synopsis

Simple Product Description:
Los Angeles Hardcore

Complex Product Description:
ELITE Pro Wrestling, as a functioning organization, is the physical representation of unadulterated Rebellion. In it’s most root form, ELITE is all about counter-culture; a form of aggressive entertainment that relies heavily upon the notion of brashly ‘standing out’ versus hiding within the fray. Their events are over-sexualized, excessively violent, and blatantly controversial. In a sense, they are the deep undercurrent of destruction; looking to ‘piss-off’ the mainstream audience with an array of polarizing scenarios, figures, and action. They are made up of psychopaths, heathens, wh*res, adrenaline-junkies, violators, and the all-around criminally insane. Realistically, ELITE is more of a modern day ‘bath-house’ with a violent twist; doing their best to debunk the traditional myths that typically come with Pro Wrestling promotions. In closing, ELITE is truly as their tag line states: “The Bad Boys of Pro Wrestling”. Every fiber of this companies being, every facet of its roster, intensely screams this nature. They lie, cheat, steal, maim, assault, claw, and continuously ‘push the envelope’ of what’s deemed as acceptable by mainstream American standards. Easily said, they are the greatest rebellion this industry has ever seen. Quite possibly, the greatest single cultural rebellion the world has ever witnessed.

Changes made and why they were made

 

Modern rose to ‘Medium’ from ‘low’ – This was bumped in which to add a level of a ‘modern touch’ to a company based upon Explosive Action (both in violence and in-ring impact). It may just be me but when I think of California I think of a progressive mindset. So, a company based out of LA should carry that same tone. I suppose, with this logic, you could make an argument that I should raise Modern to ‘Heavy’; however, at this point, I want to stay as close to the original product as possible. In time, if the roster dictates it, then I may go ahead with pushing a higher level of modern wrestling. That said, it will only come with review of the roster I have at that time.

 

Lucha Libre rose to ‘low’ from ‘none’ – This is due to the fact that the Hispanic population in Los Angeles is quite high. On top of that, I believe that this will help to give ELITE it’s own unique tone as lucha ideas are brought into the fold. With that said, it’s somewhat of a wacky lucha libre style; a little darker, and crazed, in nature. So, it’s a fusion of the culture in the area as well as a unique facet that it brings with it.

 

Face/Heel divide to ‘medium’ from ‘none’ – This is merely a personal choice as I like there to be, at least, a semblance of a face/heel divide. I’m a big fan of the tweener role, and will play this idea with ELITE; so, I do need some distinction to make it work. Granted, with a product like ELITE, there won’t be any real ‘Old School babyfaces’ within the fold. More or less, even the ‘good guys’ will carry a darker, bad-boy, demeanor to their characters. So, in that case, most babyfaces will be more like ‘tweeners’ than actual babyfaces. I hope that makes sense.

As you can see, there are a few 'created' individuals within the ELITE fray. I will give a rundown of their abilities (and backgrounds) in the next few posts in which to give you a better idea of who they are & why they were added. For ease, the created people are as follows:

 

• Gluttonous “The Glut” Gary

• Allotta FaGyna

• Boom Boom Betsy

• Xarra

• Missy DoRight

• Demi Demonic

• El Muerte Blanco

How many workers are under a different name? Or is there a lot of created workers?

 

There are 7 created workers (outside of Shifty Kazimir); however, only 2 of those are actual 'active wrestlers' (Gluttonous Gary and El Muerte Blanco). So, with that, the rest are all original cornellverse workers!
