<p>GSW Gatecrasher 2016 card (Subject to change)</p><p>

GSW American title rematch: <strong>Fro Sure</strong> vs Busta Capp</p><p>

I think I called Busta's recent mini-streak being effectively to set him up to lose here? Still believe that's the case.</p><p>

<strong>Cali Slick</strong> vs Hard-1</p><p>

Like you said, Cali needs the shot in the arm to stay strong and Hard-1 can actually lose this and still not lose much momentum once he's competitive.</p><p>

GSW Top Crew titles match: La Raza (Mexico's Finest & Brown Pride) vs <strong>Hotline Miami & Magwitch</strong></p><p>

Voting more with my heart here but I've always had a soft spot for Magwitch since that Dixie Vaudeville Wrestling (that wasn't the actual name - edit: I went back and checked, it was the actual name) that did the rounds here a few months ago.</p>

Mexico's Finest and Brown Pride make defence number 2 of their GSW Top Crew titles.</strong></p><p>

The opening match was held under Sadistic Madness rules, meaning pinfalls would only count if the person pinned was first busted open. Tornado tag rules were also enforced, meaning all six men were legal at all times with no need for tags. This all set up the scenery for a chaotic and bloody opening fight, the highlight of which was probably Hotline:Miami putting LatiNoFear through a table that Magwitch set on fire first. Mexico's Finest rushed to the rescue and mauled the two masked men away from the scene of the crime, leaving Magwitch over the remains, laughing like a maniac. This gave MexiCain the opportunity to suprise the hardcore clown with an All-Or-Nothing Headbutt, before he pinned him to keep the straps on La Raza. The presence of Osiris on the corner of La Raza went widely unnoticed and given the way she's presented, she is expected to most likely show up next to someone else on next month's show.</p><p>

As soon as the match was over, instead of the wrestlers retreating to the backstage area, Devyn Retribution came flying from behind the curtain and landed hard on the ramp. BB Colossus showed up seconds after, nearly ripping the curtain down before he proceeded to maul the youngster all the way down to the ring. Despite Devyn's lackluster selling of the attack, BB's menace and the overall chaos hid that little problem and made for an exciting angle which set up the next match, with BB bullying the referee into making it all an official bout.</p><p>

BB's attack continued and essentially produced an impromptu short squash match with a spectacular ending in which BB set up a table on a corner, placed Devyn Retribution against it and hit him with the Colossus Avalance to drive him through it before pinning him. Without the chaos of the other six men brawling around at ringside though, the problems in this were exposed and Devyn's inexperience was made worse by the fact that he didn't seem to click with BB's offense.</p><p>

Slick picked up a hard fought victory in the semi-main event against the seasoned veteran, whose age is clearly catching up with him. Both men went all out in a car crash of a match filled with high risk spots and though they managed to somehow walk away unscathed, the blazing pace was too much for Hard-1's declining stamina. Slick on the other hand displayed some arguably improved Performance skills and took it unto himself to carry the veteran through the match, a solid bout that had the rowdy GSW audience buzzing by the time it was over.</p><p>

Cali Slick then got on the mic to address what had been on everyone's mind since he made his entrance and that was the absence of CJ Weston on his corner. Slick cut a short but mean promo on Weston, saying he's dumped the extra weight of the veteran manager who's been keeping him from achieving his full potential because CJ secretly hates the idea that anyone might reach greater heights than him when he was an active wrestler. Instead of CJ Weston, this brought out Busta Capp with Kandii on his side. Busta ran down Slick for being way over his head and demanded he cleared the ring for his main event title match against Fro Sure for the GSW American title. While the promo itself wasn't anything special, it did get a good reaction from the fans, a clear sign that Capp is learning to show more charisma when on stage. Fro Sure joined the party and did a little freestyle rap to diss both men and apparently got under Slick's skin because the former champion rolled out of the ring to attack Fro. Cali Slick was intercepted and contained by security staff before he could get his hands on Fro and the two competitors got to the ring for their main event title match.</p><p>

A predictably solid main event brawl between two of GSW's most popular men as well as two guys who can really go in the ring, this one saw Busta Capp score several near falls but never getting the win. Kandii did get involved in a lot of the false finishes to assist Capp, but otherwise her presence didn't draw attention away from the in-ring action. The only thing that somewhat brought this fight down was a certain sense of predictability and repetition. Busta Capp has had his fair share of unsuccessful title shots already and it seems that the two other main contenders in Cali Slick and Mexico's Finest will be keeping themselves busy with CJ Weston and La Raza respectively. In an ironic twist though, what took away from the match kept the fans busy talking after it as the talk between them has been who will be the next person to step up and face Fro Sure for the title.</p><p>

<strong>GSW American title match: Fro Sure vs Mexico's Finest</strong></p><p>

<em>The popular ex-con and one third of GSW's Top Crew titleholders La Raza steps up for his biggest match so far. Fro Sure is in for a fight if he wants to hold on to the big title.</em></p><p>

<strong>Cali Slick vs ???</strong></p><p>

<em>After GSW Gatecrasher, CJ Weston took to social media and responded to Cali Slick's promo against him, saying he has a new client to replace him. The revelation and subsequent match against Slick has been booked for July's Degeneration event</em></p><p>

<strong>Brown Pride vs ???</strong></p><p>

<em>Big Magic made an announcement via the promotion's website, saying he's booked Brown Pride in a match against a surprise duo. According to GSW's Commissioner of Violence, his secret picks will send the latino hustlers to the hospital, thus ensuring they will be unable to assist their La Raza friend by interfering in the main event.</em></p><p>

<strong>Cheech Kong vs Busta Capp</strong></p><p>

<em>The latest man to reportedly share a bed with Osiris, Cheech Kong has found himself in a match against Busta Capp thanks to his new manager's apparent backstage influence. Will he "rise to the occasion" once again or will Capp send him home with blue balls?</em></p><p>

<strong>GSW West Coast title match: Omar vs Drop Kix</strong></p><p>

<em>In somewhat of a de facto hiatus after defeating all his possible contenders, Omar is back to defend the GSW West Coast title against fellow high flyer Drop Kix. Will the youngster be the one to take the title away in true underdog fashion or will Omar punish him for interrupting his holiday?</em></p></div><p></p><p></p>

<p>I think my booking at this stage is extremely predictable, given the financial limitations that have me pulling off tricks like few matches, no interference etc and so both men's predictions were correct (Except Dar's Top Crew one, but he voted for Magwitch with his heart). As is apparent from the last few cards, I'm beginning to slowly stray away from that and I'm especially proud of next month's card as it seems like the storylines are beginning to develop.</p><p> </p><p> I'm a little bit torn as to how I should deal with a bloated roster of 23 people, with 16 being the minimum at this point. This results in a crowded main event scene that forces me to book more people than I'd like per show, thus spending more on worker wages. There's a few people I'm uninterested in and would like to release, plus I have a few people who've had run-ins with the law and an owner goal that forbids renewing their contracts. So far I've kept them around to eat pins as I wait for their contracts to expire, but they still need to show up occasionally and a losing streak makes them unhappy. I'm still debating whether I should purge the roster immediately or just wait for their contracts to expire. There's also the option of gradual public firings <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Let me know your thoughts.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44099" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I think I called Busta's recent mini-streak being effectively to set him up to lose here?

With a new client plus Aces High caught in the crossfire, this should have plenty of mileage in it.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44099" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Voting more with my heart here but I've always had a soft spot for Magwitch since that Dixie Vaudeville Wrestling (that wasn't the actual name - edit: I went back and checked, it was the actual name) that did the rounds here a few months ago.</div></blockquote><p> I love the concept of a psychotic clown, especially one in the hardcore setting of GSW but Magwitch is tough client backstage. So far he's done okay for himself (I mean, Aces freakin High is still around!) and seeing the portraits for this bout made me realize he matches Hotline:Miami visually. Might end up in some kind of Psycho Circus stable down the road, but for now Magwitch needs to prove himself before I consider properly utilizing him</p>

After a short absence during the last few GSW shows, Nicole Kiss once again opened the show by running down the card, leading of course to her client Omar defending the GSW West Coast title in the opening match. The short break seemed to have thrown her a little off balance, as for the first time since her debut, Nicole seemed to struggle a bit without a concrete script to follow, but still it was a strong start to the show, as she largely has her steamy looks to fall back on, a certain crowd pleaser for the the rowdy GSW fans.</p><p>

Short but sweet, the opening bout was packed with dangerous spots and exciting high risk moments in a car crash of a match meant to quickly get the crowd going straight out of the gates. Osiris was in the corner of Drop Kix mainly to work her gimmick and provide an explanation as to how the youngster ended up in a title match, but she and her latest client turned out to be a pretty successful pairing after all. Both managers played into the style of the match by getting in a catfight that got fans going almost as much as the actual match itself, especially when the grappling led to some well-placed "wardrobe malfunctions" that exposed a fair bit of flesh. Drop Kix hit a plancha to the outside in order to rescue Osiris, but Omar was able to shake the ropes just in the nick of time to mess with his aiming and send him crashing onto the barricade. Nicole Kiss rolled the youngster back into the ring where Omar hit him with the High Velocity Headbutt for the win, retaining his title.</p><p>

Osiris came out again, this time leading Cheech Kong to the ring and getting some "filthy cougar" chants from the fans. Much more charismatic and entertaining than her previous client, this one played to the chants with some dancing and crotch swinging, which in turned sparked the fans into a "Cheech Dong" chant. Once he was in the ring with Busta Capp though, it was anything but fun and games. The veteran literally dominated the match, venting his frustration on the youngster who showcased some improvement in his Performance skills while Osiris added to the drama with screams on the outside as Cheech Kong was beaten down, gangsta-style. Given the booking of the match, the ending came as no surprise when Cheech, already bleeding like a pig, was Mafia Kicked through a table wrapped in barb wire that had been set up on one corner of the ring, leading the referee to stop the match as he deemed Kong unable to continue.</p><p>

CJ Weston led Aces High to the ring next, before cutting a blistering promo on Cali Sick in response to his words last month. Weston called Slick a "weak ass bitch" for losing the GSW American title to Fro Sure and pointed out that it's Slick that needs him, not the other way around. Before introducing Slick's replacement, who would also be his opponent for the night, Weston turned to Aces High and questioned his loyalty in the situation, given High's teaming with Slick as the Long Beach Crew. Reluctantly, Aces High confirmed he's on Weston's side, but refused to stick around for the match, instead retreating to the backstage area.</p><p>

A gruelling battle between CJ Weston's former and current client, this one had all the potential on paper given the story as well as size and menace of those involved, but sadly didn't deliver since the two men don't seem to click in the ring and this made the flow of the match feel a bit clunky. Stash is still pretty green but Slick carried him as best as he could and CJ Weston chipped in.</p><p>

Even Aces High showed up again in an attempt to salvage the match, pushing the storyline further and getting a huge pop from the fans. Aces teased whether he'd get involved and in favor of who, but eventually his presence was just a distraction and it didn't throw Slick off his game to allow Stash much. Slick got the win in the end and traded some words back and forth with Aces still on the outside, but everything is still open to interpretation, a clever booking trick to keep fans wanting to see what happens next.</p><p>

Just like the match that came before it, this one felt big when announced but didn't live up to the hype due to the styles of those involved clashing badly. Fro's flamboyant entertaining style didn't exactly click with the grittier, over-the-top violent style of Mexico's Finest and this dragged an otherwise excellent bout down. The story here was largely whether Brown Pride would be able to make an appearance and help Finest, then as the match went on and they were nowhere to be seen, Finest turned up the violence to show that he can fare well on his own and doesn't need crutches. Fro had to fight tooth, claw and nail for his life and after a slow, gruelling comeback that got fans behind him, he was finally able to piledrive his opponent with the Sure Thing and defend the title once again.</p><p>

GSW Uprising 2016, Held at The Warehouse in South West U.S., Attendance: 466

 

rAILy8a.jpgHS1xGO8.jpgXAkP19L.jpg

Nicole Kiss came out to open the show, but her usual running down of the card was quickly interrupted by Kandii, who urged her to clear the ring as her client, Omar, wasn't scheduled to defend his GSW West Coast title. This backfired though when Kiss pointed out that neither was Busta Capp, burying Kandii not only with her words, but also her superior delivery on the mic that made the hostess of the Warehouse look weak in comparison. The two women teased an impending catfight, when Osiris popped up to simply hand a paper slip to the ring announcer, who proceeded to announce a special, on-the-fly match booked just now, a hint once again to the backstage pull of Osiris and another feather on the cap of her Slut gimmick, which she's getting better at portraying. Needless to say that opening the show with all three of GSW's sizzling hot ladies was more than enough to pop the crowd and get the show off to a strong start.

Grade: D 44

 

Drop Kix (with Osiris) vs E-Soteric

VX3xXPX.jpgXAkP19L.jpgvs3CGeAaw.jpg

In a poor match, E-Soteric defeated Drop Kix in 15:08 by pinfall with a Double Arm DDT through a table.

Partly thanks to the (kayfabe) influence of Osiris and partly thanks to his real life chemistry with her, Drop Kix seems to be moving up the ranks with more on-screen time than ever before. His match with E-Soteric was exciting and violent enough to fire up the bloodthirsty GSW faithful and the booking played to his strengths despite ultimately taking the fall after a stunt bump through a table, but behind the scenes though, this was a complete disaster. Early into the match, Drop Kix almost botched a high risk move and nearly injured his opponent, which pissed off E-Soteric to the point where he in turn botched a backbreaker and broke Kix's ribs. While the real life heat added to the match, the injury happened early enough to hold back Kix. To his credit though, he completed the match and even took the final bump, an attitude that's bound to help him in the long run.

Grade: E 29

 

L6k5ZVG.jpgmGqZ0ic.jpg

Fans lost it when an all-too-familiar music hit the speakers and former SWF Tag Team Champions, Shady K and Knuckles, came out to the ring. The team known as "Death Row" cut a short promo about Hotline:Miami hiring them to fight in their spot and take out State of Destruction. The announcement elevated the hype of the match even though it was no longer for the GSW Tag Team titles and the two men did a decent job of acting out their Hired Gun gimmicks, with Knuckles doing slightly worse than his partner.

Grade: D 43

 

Death Row (Shady K & Knuckles) vs State of Destruction (BB Colossus & Boneyard)

L6k5ZVG.jpgmGqZ0ic.jpgvsFo7vCOc.jpgYgf5mGn.jpg

In a decent match, Death Row defeated State Of Destruction in 6:05 when Knuckles defeated Boneyard by pinfall with a Death Sentence.

Again, the match was (over)booked to SoD's strengths with the chaos hiding the huge gap in performance between the two teams. BB Colossus was having a really bad night, which meant that Boneyard had to step up and pick up the slack. On the other side, Shady K peppered his performance with plenty of character work to improve his gimmick, dropping a lot of insults and talk about getting paid to do this, while Knuckles clearly carried the match putting in performance of the night despite the overall Mayhem.

GSW Top Crew titles match

La Raza (Mexico's Finest & Brown Pride) vs The Long Beach Crew (Aces High & Cali Slick) and Raheem Stash (with CJ Weston)

nsyEaQx.jpgNBxbE4X.jpgcnN32uP.jpgvsHyqZMK9.jpgsineadK.jpgT6FiAgv.jpgc5MMsLb.jpg

In a decent match, Raheem Stash and Long Beach Crew defeated La Raza (Mexico's Finest, LatiNoFear and MexiCain) in 15:30 when Cali Slick defeated LatiNoFear by pinfall after interference from CJ Weston. Raheem Stash and Long Beach Crew win the GSW Top Crew titles.

Just like the last time the GSW Top Crew titles were defended, this match was yet again held under Sadistic Madness rules a.k.a. "No Blood, No Pin". As expected, Mexico's Finest did all the heavy lifting for his team, showing improvement in his character work, Rumble and Performance skills but his part was abruptly cut short when Stash hit him with a sloppy move that apparently injured his knee. This caused both members of Brown Pride to assault Stash in revenge, but also swung momentum of the match in favor of the other team. With Aces High clearly stoned out of his mind, Cali Slick had to take matters into his own hands and after an assist from CJ Weston he never asked for, he picked up LatiNoFear to piledrive him onto the steel steps that had been brought in the ring to be used as a weapon earlier. No celebrating came after the ring of the bell, as the uneasy alliance of CJ Weston and his team were handed the titles in a win that only complicated their relationship.

More surprise appearances were in line as Remmy Skye was revealed to be Fro Sure's mystery opponent for the GSW American title. Portraying a "chemically enhanced" extremist daredevil isn't far from Skye's real life character and he did a great job strutting to the ring as he soaked up the fans' reaction.

GSW American title match

Fro Sure vs Remmy Skye

7VeI1aU.jpgvs2xz9zY7.jpg

In a decent match, Remmy Skye defeated Fro Sure in 14:40 by pinfall with a Skye Diver. Remmy Skye wins the GSW American title.

Full of flashy moves, big spots and dangerous bumps, the main event was nothing short of a Car Crash. With Fro seeming a little off his game and visibly tiring by the end of this all-out bout, the popular high flyer's victory felt a tad more justified when he hit the Skye Diver off the top turnbuckle to win the match and claim the GSW American title on his debut with the promotion. Despite Skye's popularity and edgy gimmick that fans can get behind, the controversial decision to put the title on a non-black, high flying wrestler for the first time ever had fans buzzing for long after the match was over, a sign that the company's storytelling and the West Coast Wars in general are far from boring.

Finally caught up on things again. Really enjoying it. Life has kept me so busy it is hard to keep up with things on here these days so shorter write-ups like this are a godsend.

Thank you very much, glad to have you on board once again. It's no secret your Dynasty was a big reason why I got into GSW.

 

 

I like to be adventurous with my predictions, but I've never seen the mystery opponent come out in a title match (except Hotline Miami, GOAT), plus Fro Sure is Hella over it seems
It's too soon for the Bro with the Fro to drop. Unless you've pulled in a top name. I'll stick with the champ though.

Well, I did pull in a top name after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

This is Wrestling, so imma say, no.

The Long Beach Crew/Stash are gonna take the straps here. Back to the midcard with La Raza.

With 2 out of 3 members having problems with the law, La Raza is living on borrowed time anyway. There's plenty of story to be told between Slick and CJ's breakup, with Aces and Stash weaved into it all. The "awkward title holders team" move made sense here.

 

 

Your big men are no match for a drugged up Tony the Tiger!

Hmmm... not confident but I think you're unlikely to switch right back.

Turns out Hotline:Miami didn't wrestle and it wasn't even a title match, but I hope the presence of Death Row made up for it. GSW is in dire need of good tag teams right now and a Death Row vs Hotline:Miami title match could really blow the roof.

 

 

As a little insight into my booking/writing, I like to put up the card for a show as soon as the previous one is done. Given the unpredictable nature of GSW's talent, this really makes the card subject to change and should keep you hooked/guessing. That said, the whole Death Row deal came up within the month, after the match was announced. I initially planned to have them run-in, but it's a lot of money to spend just for interference and given everyone's popularity, this felt like the best decision; everyone can live with it and it still makes narrative sense.

A one on one match between the winners of the two previous matches to crown this year's King of California.

The owner of GSW himself, Brother Grimm, came out to address the fans and open what's probably the promotion's biggest annual show with a masterful freestyle promo. Grimm publically fired Aces High and vacated the GSW Top Crew titles, promising new champions will be crowned next month, then warned that anyone interfering in the King of California tournament matches would be fired on the spot. Osiris was wrapped around his arm all the time looking hot and playing up her Slut gimmick, a move that also provided some explanation for her apparent backstage pull. Between her looks and Grimm's mic skills while shooting from the hip, this angle fired up the crowd and got the show off to a strong start.</p><p>

A solid opening bout between two reliable brawlers, this one saw Hard-1 give Capp a run for his money. Forced into defense for most of the match, Capp took a few shortcuts to turn the match around and it all culminated to the finale of Kandii putting herself in harm's way to distract Hard-1 and allow her client to set up the Mafia Kick that took him down for the pin. The finished served in keeping Hard-1 strong despite the loss, but his antics towards Kandii also helped showcase his new Pimp gimmick. Edgier and more unique than his former Street Fighter one, it was warmly received by the GSW faithful and should serve him well going forward.</p><p>

Unhindered by the risk of potential interference after Grimm's opening announcement, Cali Slick was free to focus on his match against the ever dangerous Deaf Touch. The two put up a decent, competitive match but it was Slick who walked away victorious after he dodged a Mafia Kick and caught the off-balance Deaf Touch with a Slick-Back.</p><p>

Faced with a competent opponent in his prime, Busta Capp was able to showcase improved Performance skills as he used his Selling and Psychology to tell the story of his dramatic fight to stay on top of the game. Coupled with the assists from Kandii, Busta fought tooth and claw but ultimately succumbed when hit with the Slick-Back. All it took was one opening for Cali Slick to hit his big move and win the match, along with the title of the new GSW King of California.</p><p>

Before the match, a briefcase was placed onto the time keeper's table. As the ring announcer let everyone know, the briefcase contained the money that should have been paid to Death Row for their appearance last month. That money was the prize for the winner of the match, with Death Row fighting for their paycheck while Hotline:Miami were looking to get away with a freebie. With such a personal storyline behind it, the match of course was in-your-face, smashmouth and ultra violent, a real Car Crash with many moving parts in it. Shady K was the MVP for his team and rightfully picked up the win, showing some innovative offense with weapons to fill in for his partner running out of steam before the bell. On the other hand, Richard the Rooster debuted a strange sound between a rooster's cawk and a psychotic laugh which added depth to his insane character, but he also took a crazy piledriver from the top rope head-first onto the briefcase. In the end it was Death Row who stood tall, raising the dented briefcase high above their heads in victory.</p><p>

Probably the best match GSW has been able to put up so far this year, the rematch between Skye and Fro was everything fans expected and blew the original out of the water, with both men showing an extra edge in their Performance skills to take things over the line. Fro fought a hellacious battle as he brawled a drugged-out-of-his-mind Skye around the ring, but it was that chemical enhancement that seemingly allowed the champion to bypass the pain and make his comeback, all the way to the big final spot where he shoved Fro Sure off the apron and through the announcers' table, before himself climbing the top turnbuckle to hit the Skye Diver onto the remains.</p><p>

IPW's September show grade: </strong><strong><span style="color:#A0522D;">D 41</span></strong></p><p>

<em>During their September show, IPW handed anti-GSW signs to their audience during ticket sales, but the move backfired and at the day of the show, several people came with their own pro-GSW signs as a reaction to the promotion's underhanded move.</em></p></div><p></p><p></p>

<strong>GSW American title match: Remmy Skye vs Fro Sure vs Cali Slick</strong></p><p>

<em>After winning the King of California tournament, Cali Slick found his way back into the American title scene but Fro Sure isn't going away that easy. Can Remmy Skye retain against two opponents in a match where he doesn't even have to get pinned to lose the title?</em></p><p>

<em>Capp&Touch may not be a regular team, but they are skilled individuals with no bad blood between them, whereas the defending champions have a big target on their backs that might attract other teams to interfere in this unpredictable match.</em></p><p>

<em>I like the concept of GSW trying the Remmy Skye Experiment, plus the last match really show he could bring the main event edge over IPW.</em></p><p>

GSW Top Crew titles match: La Raza vs <strong>State of Destruction + Mystery Partner</strong></p><p>

<em>Gives State of Destruction something to do I guess?</em></p><p>

GSW West Coast title match: <strong>Omar</strong> vs Cheech Kong</p><p>

<em>Feel like Omar could be a RVD/Jay Lethal of GSW, gets inserted into the main even scene with a awesome mid-card Title run</em>.</p><p> </p><p>

Also do the features in the WAR relationship every truly work, or is it just very rare, and on that note, do any of the "negative effects" actually occur, the only promotion I was ever at war with was IWA: Mid South in a 0/0/0/0 game, but I ate them up in like three weeks cause, well its IWA: Mid South</p>

Well, talent trades/alliances are off the table for one. You do get access to the dirty tricks section, which can affect prestige and momentum (yours or the enemy's). Other than that, it's mostly about workers being exclusive to either promotion. I haven't had much trouble during both my GSW playthroughs so far, but in another save I'm playing as Black Canvas Grappling in Japan; they are in war with Golden Canvas Grappling and given that GCG is larger and more prestigious, they have raided my talent like no tomorrow. I think it boils down to the more prestigious company being able to drain their enemy of top talent. IPW is the bigger one so far, but they haven't made any big moves. I'm more concerned about bigger dogs like CZCW picking up my top guys like Fro Sure or Cali Slick.
