smw88 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Starting in 1920 with the Effganic Mod plus adding in workers, companies, locations and broadcasters etc from many real and other verse. I will be documenting the rise and possibly fall of the wrestling world with annual recaps before aiming to start a live company directly once we hit 1980. Who knows what the industry will resemble by then? Which Country will become dominant? Which Company will go international first? What styles of wrestling will be in favour in 6 decades time? so many variables!!

smw88 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 The roaring Twenties: 1920 the beginning http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/1920_zpszhpq9ixc.jpg Wrestling had existed in many forms for thousands of years, what we saw in 1920 was the next logical step for such a popular sport. Following in the steps of Boxing there was a movement predominantly in the US of A to launch Wrestling to the masses and to take steps away from the Olympic style in order to do two things. provide a new and exiting form of entertainment, and to be well paid for doing so. One man had a vision, that man was Don Loomis http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/Don%20Loomis_zpsyordd63v.jpg He founded the first true Pro Wrestling Company in February 1920 Southern Pro Wrestling, based out of Mississippi. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/SPW_alt2_zpssk07nmvm.jpg The very first World Champion was crowned in April 1920 Levi Andrews http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/Levi%20Andrews_zpsopgowr9h.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/BritLH_zpsrcg9ojie.jpg SPW would also go on to crown their first National, TV and Tag Team Champions in 1920. For those of you wondering why Levi did not go on to greater things in 1920 with SPW, the 40 year old Australian was killed in a automobile accident following his third title defence. The Global industry end of year awards as you might expect given the lack of competition would be a clean sweep for the new power house of American Wrestling.

smw88 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 1924 Japan the hotspot? http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/1924_zpsahbnqtdc.jpg We saw two new companies expand the reach of Pro Wrestling further around the world. Dennis Laurent a British wrestler and former CWW Universal Champion and their current Number 1 contender left suddenly to form AOW taking a number of CWW workers with him. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/CVFP_BlackMale_007_zps4hxjq9ir.jpg Located in the midlands All Out Wrestling looked to offer a slightly less "Stiff" product to the British audience than CWW. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/AOW_zpsh7ivgek9.jpg The second and perhaps more important opening came from Canada. Former SPW World Champion Daniel Loiselle decided to set up Quebec Championship Wrestling back home in Canada whilst remaining a worker in the US for SPW. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/Daniel%20Loiselle_zps4zh6d9fo.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/QCW_zpsagzyn5ei.jpg The industry seemed to really build upon 1923 with growing audiences around the Globe, nearly 8,000 packed in to JCW March into Darkness as Japan took to wrestling like it was made for them. There rise is largely helped by running weekly small shows and monthly large events that helps drive up their fan base. SPW are still to attract more than 4,000 to a show and continue running only a single monthly event. The SUMO Dojo remains one of the most respected Dojo around the world. Whilst the top spots are retained by SPW talent it is clear JCW are marching up strongly, could it be a matter of time before they take over the top spot in the power 500 rankings? Can the rest of the worlds companies catch up with JCW or will they pull ahead to an unassailable position in this growing industry? 1924 Global awards ceremony Wrestler of the year El Espiritu (SPW) Power 500 runner up Joe Boone (SPW) Tag Team Washi Usami & Yoriyuki Miyamae (JCW) Young Wrestler Mushanokoji Tsuruya (JCW) Veteran Saita Kuroki (SPW) Female No Winner Independent Felipe Roman Company JCW Most improved company JCW Match Mushanokoji Tsuruya defeated Hakuseki Makuda at JCW Fugitive Dome Battle (B) Card JCW No More Mr Nice Guy (B-) Att: 5900 Manager No Winner Announcer Austen Demers (PoG) Colour Ichiyo Ariwa (JCW) Referee Wesley Miletich (AOW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
