South Of The Border Pro Wrestling

</div>

The most successful lucha libre promotion in history, SOTBPW dominate Mexico and in recent years have built a strong brand name in America too, challenging the big three of that country. New booker El Demonio came up with their best storyline, where Champagne Lover slowly destroyed The Infernal Horde. The linchpin of their rise was undoubtedly Champagne Lover, a luchador whose popularity has completely transcended the business. However, following his move to Hollywood, SOTBPW have been heavily pushing younger stars, with some looking ready to capture their world championship.

Critics have always slammed SOTBPW for using their financial muscle to 'buy success', but the truth is that they're an extremely innovative organisation who aren't afraid to push boundaries; Their most recent success has to be them using their Luchador Internacional network to finish their expansion into the U.S. and become even larger.

</div>

SOTBPW are now at 95% popularity in Mexico and 70% popularity in America. They have $25,000,000 to use and El Demonio is their head booker. They have three weekly TV shows and air their shows and events on Luchadors Internacional, their subscription based service. Subscription based services are popular among big companies.

The biggest story of wrestling in Mexico recently is when from 2017 to 2019, Champagne Lover slowly defeated The Infernal Horde members and "kicked" them out of SOTBPW. However, some members decided to actually leave. Snap Dragon left and went to CZCW to finish his career. Genio Verde and Hombre de la Energia left and traveled to CILL. Heavy Metal Anarchy left and became a musician and used his friendship with Champagne Lover to get in the movie business. He's currently on a 24 week tour with his band. Only Soul Taker and Magnifico remain, but Soul Taker is currently injured.

In November 2019, Blood Raven, who'd joined Champagne Lover to finish off The Infernal Horde, turned on Champagne Lover and revealed he'd used Lover to rid SOTBPW of any major rivals. He announced he was joining with La Alianzia Del Terror. The next month, he beat Lover for the Mundo title in a match where Lover's SOTBPW contract was on the line. In reality, this was done because Lover wanted to do movies for a while, and he won't be back into wrestling for 140 weeks. Upon his return, his contract will be one of the most valuable contracts in the wrestling world.

Mexican Wrestling Federation

</div>

Mexican Wrestling Revolution is a company started by well known luchador Nicolas Lopez. Following Lopez's retirement in 2019, rumors began that he wanted to start his own wrestling promotion. This resulted in the creation of MWR, a company different from traditional lucha companies, as it uses an Americanised version of traditional lucha libre, similar to how SOTBPW uses a lucha libre form of sports entertainment. Joining the Wrestling Alliance of Mexico upon it's opening, fans anticipate some interesting shows being produced by the company.

</div>

Set to open in August 2020, the Mexican Wrestling Federation is going to be Nicolas Lopez's company. It starts with $500,000 and 15% popularity throughout Mexico, making it small. It's product with a lot of mainstream mixed with traditional lucha libre. The reason for this is that Lopez believes that SOTBPW must be destroyed using it's own style.

United Kingdom Championship Wrestling

The British promotion intent on starting a new wave of popularity for realistic wrestling, UKCW is a promotion founded by former ROF owner British Samurai in 2018. Samurai wanted a place for students of his dojo to train and fight instead of having to fight in either 21CW, SNP, or go to Europe, so he recruited semi-active wrestler Walter Morgan and started United Kingdom Championship Wrestling. Using a set of young wrestlers with potential, it provides quality wrestling and is known for it's tag division as well. It partnered with UEW in 2019, and there are rumors that Samurai is urging Sam Keith to open the COTT to promotions outside of North America, and it seems he'll soon do so. If UKCW can keep itself afloat like SNP has, it may do well in England.

Opened in July 2018, UKCW is Britain's newest promotion. Ran by former ROF owner British Samurai, the company has the potential to become larger. It starts with $500,000 and is based in the Central British Isles. It has 18% popularity in the central British Isles, and 5% popularity in the North and South British Isles. The company's product is based on pure wrestling, and realism and pure being a key feature. Traditional is medium, modern is low, and everything else is set at none. They don't use faces and heels. Their matches are called in the ring.

UKCW's focus is their tag team division. They use a number of prominent Indie teams, including The Dynamite Express, The Ring Generals, Sharp & Heath, The Assassins' Guild, and Your Old Favorite Team (Your New Favorite Team got old). Other workers on the roster include Brilliant White, Cain Carlile, Dylan Drama, and Welsh Dragon. Walter Morgan, the booker of the company, is a semi-active wrestler. There's a possibility that once I start mass producing new workers, UKCW's roster will receive a few more workers. They also use a new female referee I created.

UKCW likes using foreign teams, though they also use their native British teams. British Samurai is in talks with Sam Keith about entering the COTT alliance, and it's only a matter of time before they expand and allow UKCW to enter as their first British company.

UKCW World Heavyweight Champion: Cameron Jones (since July 2019)

UKCW World Cup: Syd Collier (July 2019) (Inaugural Winner)

UKCW Tag Team Champions: The Dynamite Express (since August 2018) (Inaugural winners)

Scottish National Promotions

</div>

Mark Carnie has always been a bit of a grifter, but his biggest score occured in 2015 after getting the Scottish National Arts Council to give him a $5,000,000 grant to set up a wrestling promotion. He achieved this by slyly categorising it as a 'choreographed performance art piece examining interpersonal conflict', thus hoodwinking the clueless bureaucrats in charge.

Although Carnie proved to be a scumbag wrestling promoter and basically ran the company as a real life e-fed, SNP somehow managed to amass a loyal following amongst Scots who can't bring themselves to watch 21CW. Despite using their money to grow, Carnie's behavior kept some workers away, but that ended when Robert Echinson purchased the company, adding more money into it's account. Robert seems to be slowly changing the company, but is trying to keep it's loyal fanbase. With more money and a new owner, SNP seem ready to grow beyond the Scotland borders.

</div>

Thanks to their money, SNP have established a stronghold in Scotland, and are expanding into Ireland and the former MOSC fans of north England. They are still a small sized, but at at 28% popularity in Scotland, making them close to hitting regional sized. They have 20% popularity in Ireland, and 12% popularity in north England. They now have $10,000,000 due to the change in ownership.

As Mark Carnie ran the company, it continued to grow due to regular shows, decent talent, and a loyal fanbase. It hired rejects from 21CW's child company after they'd graduated from the National School of Wrestling, giving it more talent. However, Carnie's behavior kept some talent from signing with the company, and drove others out. That ended when Robert Echinson bought SNP. He began changing the company's product, slightly lowering the risque and T&A elements, while increasing modern, daredevil, and pure wrestling styles to suit his preference. However, the company's product is still somewhat the same, as Echinson doesn't want to lose it's dedicated fanbase.

Echinson hired Geordie Jimmy Morris to book the company and act as a road agent. Many credit him with some of the company's recent success. Echinson has gotten the company a late night TV and events deal on Scotland TV for 5 years.

The Northern Lights have headed to 21CW. Workers now in the company include Bat Cooper, Blackheart, Compton Valence, Langton Herring, Sharif, and Toxic. WEXXV's Kimi Kawano went on an excursion in 2017, and joined SNP. He plans on heading back to Japan in 6 months. As for where Carnie now is, let's just say he's now chasing another opportunity across the Atlantic.

SNP Tag Team Champions: Compton Valence and Langton Herring (since December 2018)

Total Revolution Wrestling

</div>

In March 2019, Mark Carnie sold Scottish National Promotions and left Scotland. Using the money from the sale, he traveled to America and began setting up a promotion in Los Angeles. Intending to take advantage of the new SoCal Wars, he set up Total Revolution Wrestling and quickly went to war with GSW, IPW, and ELITE. The product's basis is Attitude Entertainment. It uses the popular sports entertainment product, mixed with an American version of SNP's product. It has the potential to completely change the war, but Carnie's behavior could keep good talent away from the company. Only time will tell if Carnie can repeat what he did with SNP, and it will be interesting to see whether he keeps this promotion.

</div>

Mark Carnie made quite a lot of money from selling SNP to Robert Echinson. He stayed in Scotland at first, monitoring wrestling around the world, looking for his next chance to score big. A savvy promoter and opportunist, the start of the SoCal Wars in October 2019 made Carnie traveled to Los Angeles to set up a new promotion and take advantage of the war. Starting with $5,000,000 and 14% popularity in the south west, TRW has a good chance to compete with ELITE, IPW, and GSW in the wars. It uses a product based on Attitude Entertainment, a favorite of Carnie's. It is scheduled to open in February 2020, which is one month into the game.

Empire Pro Wrestling

</div>

As 21CW's National School Of Wrestling continued pouring graduates into the company, 21CW decided their roster couldn't handle all the excess talent. Unwilling to give talent to other companies, Jeff Nova created Empire Pro Wrestling with the intention to train the young talent. Dark Angel was assigned to run it, and he has done a masterful job of running it, especially after he retired. With Empire Pro Wrestling grooming the future of Britain's wrestling business, many wonder what will happen one day if Dark Angel decides he wants to do more.....

</div>

21CW's developmental company, EPW was formed in January 2016 to hold all of 21CW's talent from their National School of Wrestling. It has 18% popularity in the South British Isles, and 5% popularity in the central British Isles. It's owned and booked by Dark Angel, who retired in December 2019. The company's product is the same as 21CW's product. While the roster isn't exactly big enough to suit needs for playing, I intend to expand it's roster through created workers, which I'll begin mass-producing once I've finished editing the rosters of promotions.

21st Century Wrestling

</div>

21st Century Wrestling are one of the biggest success stories of recent times, having undergone a meteoric rise that has seen them go from drawing less than 100 people to their events and facing bankruptcy to selling out large arenas and having their own TV show on UK Broadcasting Prime.

The key to their success has been UK television personality Jeff Nova, who bought the company in 2006. His introduction of a Sports Entertainment philosophy, an insistence on high quality production values, and a willingness to use his media contacts to his advantage have turned 21CW into a British cultural institution. Through his hard work, 21CW gained worldwide popularity and now own their own network. Tommy Cornell returned in 2015 and was soon appointed as the head booker, and he's added a bit more wrestling to the product. Now, 21CW is considered one of the top promotions in the world.

</div>

21CW is has grown massively. Using their TV deals, they've gained 95% popularity in the British Isles, 65% popularity in Europe, and 55% popularity in Canada, America, and Australia. Tommy Cornell is considered one of the main reasons for their success, and he's altered the product to emulate TCW's product. Modern elements are medium, while realism, hardcore, and daredevil are set to low. They now have $25,000,000. They are one of two international companies, along with USPW.

They've added a few workers. Dark Angel and DJ Reason have retired. People from other companies, such as SNP's The North Lights or EWA's Paolo Gandalfini are now making it in 21CW. 21CW own their own broadcaster, known as 21st Century Broadcasting. It has coverage in America, Canada, Europe, Australia, and the British Isles. 21CW continue dominating the British Isles, and now look to take on companies such as USPW and RAW in foreign markets.

21st Century World Champion: Edward Cornell (since February 2019)

21st Century Tag Team Champions: Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan (since November 2019)

This post isn't really an entry about the mod. This is simply stating some minor changes I have made to the mod. The West Coast Wars have been renamed The SoCal Wars, due to taking place exclusively in Southern California. All bios and profiles with the West Coast Wars name have been changed to reflect this. The description of the mod has also been updated to fit some more information into it. I've edited some of these entries to reflect these changes.

The next entry will be tomorrow, and will focus on one of Europe's three promotions. Europe will be the focus for the next three entries, after which I'll move on to Japan.

This is an intentional move to position themselves as a more realistic alternative to the glitz and glamour of SWF and USPW. TCW traditionally suffered by being unable to match the financial resources of the other major promotions; long-time owner Tommy Cornell especially was severely handicapped by having to keep a tight budget for many years. In 2015 Cornell sold his stake in TCW to the American toy company BriCo, saving the company from near bankruptcy. Kyle Rhodes was appointed CEO and overtime, the company made lots of money through broadcasting deals. In 2016, they updated logos and TV deals, and eventually Ricky Dale Johnson was appointed booker. A child company, USWF was formed, and has thrived. TCW's future looks extremely bright. </div> TCW is now more popular than it was. With $10,000,000 to use, it's made money through TV deals. It has 90% popularity across America, 80% popularity across Canada, and 20% popularity everywhere else in the world, thanks to a deal with USA Sports 1 and J-Network East 3. They now use a red logo to symbolize how they've moved past Cornell. They're actually the only big promotion in America without any dirt to hurt them. Ricky Dale Johnson was retired by Jay Chord in 2016 at Total Mayhem XX. He became the booker of TCW in 2017, but was already making changes through his influence. While the product hasn't really been changed, he opened the USWF as a child company, and brought back two legends to run it. He was also responsible for TCW Hollywood Dreams, an anniversary event honoring TCW's original name of HGC. It also hosts the Hollywood Dreams ladder match, where the winner can cash in for a world title shot at any time. Aaron Andrews came up with the Hollywood Dreams ladder match. While he won the first one, injuries have been plaguing him, resulting in him not yet winning a world title since he had it in 2016. In December 2017, Valiant left SWF for a run in TCW. As of 2020, TCW is considered a place where more people will go in the near future. While they've lost Eddie Peak, who went to WEXXV to reunite with Doug Peak, they've gained Lassana Makutsi, Donte Dunn, Samoan Machine, and Valiant. Mario Heroic returned to work for EMLL and TCW. In a big story, Matthew Keith left BHOTWG in December 2019 to go to TCW, where he has yet to make his debut, but is expected to be in a feud for the world championship. There are rumors other people will follow Keith to TCW to form a new stable of workers who've worked in Japan. TCW World Heavyweight Champion: Valiant (since December 2019) Hollywood Dreams Ladder Match Winners: Aaron Andrews (2016), Wolf Hawkins (2017), Jay Chord (2018), Valiant (2019) TCW World Tag Team Champions: Mighty Mo and Donte Dunn (since May 2019) TCW International Champion: Matt Hocking (since October 2019) TCW Television Champion: Lassana Makutsi (since June 2019) </div></blockquote> Awesome, something different than "TCW loses all of its stars and is cult lmao" thing everyone seems to suggest now.

I see them being the top company in America by 2030. Plus, in the TCW saves I've played, it has been extremely easy to make money. I can gain about 1.5-2 million dollars in a month if I have the right TV and PPV deals, which I see as being key to their success. Plus, TCW's roster is packed with workers under 35, with most of their main event scene being 30 or under. This basically gives TCW a huge advantage, since USPW and SWF's main event scene is full of aging workers preparing to retire.

European Wrestling All-Stars

</div>

European Wrestling All-Stars are based out of Berlin and are one of the two off-shoot companies that were created when Europe's dominant promotion, UCR, closed in May 2007. Using a sports entertainment model that has clearly been based off the one used so successfully by the Supreme Wrestling Federation in America, EWA have quickly become popular and have begun running shows further and further away from their 'stronghold' of Germany. However, the egos of Byron and his son Bret have driven many people from the company, and now they may lose the war against UEW and VWA because of that.

</div>

EWA currently is considered the top promotion in Europe. With $500,000, they have some money to expand. They have 45% popularity in Central Europe, 40% popularity in Iberia, France, Italy, and South East Europe, 30% popularity in Scandinavia, and 25% popularity in Eastern Europe. They are expanding into the British Isles with 15% popularity there. They have a deal for a TV show on Continental Sports X1, and a PPV deal with Euro Your Demand.

EWA have lost some wrestlers to rivals, due to the narcissism of Byron and Bret Heartbreak. Paolo Gandalfini left to go to Britain and make his name with 21CW. They've taken Don Henderson. Two of their women who were on excursion from 5SSW have returned to 5SSW. Thea Davis now works for AAA, 5SSW, and even ZEN, and is planning to leave EWA soon. Davis has actually won the EWA Intercontinental Championship, and is being pushed as a force to be reckoned with.

In March 2017, Bret Heartbreak made his debut, Being the son of Byron, he inherited his father's looks, but he also inherited his ego and narcissism. Byron made Bret the booker of the company, and now him and his father lose on rare occasions. On his debut, he won the EWA Universal Championship, and the EWA Tag Team Championships with his father. Now, many workers are planning to leave the company out of frustration, and EWA's future could be in trouble.

Ultimate European Wrestling

</div>

The Madrid-based Ultimate European Wrestling company is one of the two off-shoot companies that were created when Europe's dominant promotion, UCR, closed in May 2007. Led by the highly respected veteran Ali Bloxsome, UEW offer a traditional wrestling experience, the kind that has been popular across the continent for many decades. Their growth has been slow but steady and they have gradually managed to carve out a niche for themselves with fans who respect the fact that they treat pro wrestling seriously. This image was helped more when Louis Figo Manico returned to wrestling and bought the company. Despite being over 50, he continues to wrestle in order to raise the promotion's profile. The company is now considered one of the top companies in Europe, and is fighting EWA and VWA for supremacy.

</div>

The second largest company in Europe, UEW has grown quite a bit since 2016. It now has $500,000 to spend and it's popularity in growing. They have 36% popularity in Iberia, France, Italy, and South East Europe, 25% popularity in Central Europe and Scandinavia, and 20% popularity in Eastern Europe. They are using Europe's love of pure wrestling to grow. They have a deal with V-Corp for events. They've changed one thing, which is that they retired their tag titles, those tag matches can still occur.

UEW have gained a few people. They've taken Bulldog Jack from EWA, who left due to the narcissism of Byron and Bret Heartbreak. Clubber Kohl and Jotaro are gone to other companies. The biggest story of European wrestling occurred when former UCR owner Louis Figo Manico returned to wrestling in 2016, choosing UEW. In 2017, he bought the company from Ali Blocksome, who he then installed as the head booker. Louis is continuing to run UEW like it has been since it opened, and hasn't changed it's product. He is refusing to retire in order to help get UEW to the top with his star power.

UEW World Champion: Louis Figo Manico (since October 2019)

UEW Nations Champion: German Machine (since July 2019)

UEW Tag Team Champions: Lars Brecher and Ralph Grimm (Final champions/belt retired in August 2016)

Byron struck me the wrong way since I ran into him several versions of the game back, so I'm glad to read about EWA going to hell <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I mean, with his personality and Bret's debut, it's the only natural way for things to go.

Manico returning to UEW is an interesting approach, especially seeing him learn from his mistakes in UCR and leaving the product as is. Him sticking around instead of retiring sounds a lot like Bandido in your version of EMLL.

Victory Wrestling Association

</div>

The Victory Wrestling Association are a European company who were created in 2009 by the multi-millionaire Albert Thorp and are based in his home country of Switzerland. They are perhaps the ultimate "melting pot" of wrestling concepts, as seemingly anything goes; whether this is an attempt to please everybody or to create a truly unique fusion of styles is yet to be seen. As well as their unusual hybrid style, VWA are also noted for having dispensed entirely with the concept of tag teams and alliances; all their matches feature singles competitors. Currently engaged in a war with EWA and UEW, they aren't on top at the moment, but they certainly have the finances to be.

</div>

VWA are still mostly the same as they were in 2016. They have $2,500,000 to use in their efforts against UEW and EWA. They've got 30% popularity in Central Europe, 18% popularity in France, 12% popularity in Italy, 9% popularity in Scandinavia, Iberia, and 7% popularity in South East Europe and Eastern Europe.

They've gained a few people, such as The Witch Doctor. They now have EWA's Kruge The Executioner on their roster, who left due to the narcissism of Byron and Bret Heartbreak. Landon Mallory is being pushed hard as VWA's figurehead, and is seen as their key to success.

TIER 1: Talent, Innovation, Eternal, Revolution

</div>

TIER 1 is a wrestling company that is actually an off-shoot of one of the most respected shoot-fight organisations in Japan, ALPHA-1. Opened in May 2016 by the legendary Eisuke Yoshinobu, it suffered a bit because later that month a tsunami hit Japan, devastating the economy and the industry, harming a number of promotions. Thanks to Yoshinobu's money, TIER 1 survived, and has managed to thrive. It's roster is full of young stars, and it's product offers a hybrid mix of wrestling and stiff MMA-style action. It's an unusual mix, seeing head-dropping suplexes, running dives to the outside, and violently stiff strikes all stuck together in one environment, but it's certainly watchable, and not without marketability.

TIER 1 opened in May 2016. It was founded by the respected Eisuke Yoshinobu, and is booked by referee Akikazu Miyagi. While in the 2016 data it is set to open at a random date with $10,000,000, I've decreased that to $5,000,000, because the Japanese Tsunami hurt them a lot, but they survived due to their finances.

TIER 1 has a lot of young talent on it's roster. Motoyuki Miyake, Eikichi Itou, Akira Arato, MUSCLE Serizawa, Gidayu Katou, Masafumi Torii, and others are the young members of the roster who are doing quite well. Miyake in particular is considered a future legend. His matches have been great, he's won awards, and he's considered the face of TIER 1. As for other talent, Li Bingci decided to return to wrestling, and now works for TIER 1 under a contract with less shows. Oleg Dorosklov is now with them. Foreign talents such as Pavel Vanzycha and Ray Snow is there, and Fuyuhiko Wakabayashi has returned to Japan to work for them. A few of their talent are also MMA fighters, as TIER 1 are partnered with ALPHA-1 to provide them with some talent, such as Motoyuki Miyake.

TIER 1 has grown quite fast. They are regional size, with 35% popularity across Japan. As a part of the Modern Japan Movement, they have access to a load of talent from other promotions. They have a PPV deal with PPV-Japan and a TV deal with J-Network East 3. TIER 1's initials now stand for Talent, Innovation, Eternal, Revolution.

Pro Wrestling SAISHO

</div>

Pro Wrestling SAISHO was set up by the PGHW management team in 2002 to act as a development territory; essentially a mini-version of PGHW itself, the sole aim of the company was to provide a place for youngsters to gain much needed experience working in front of a live crowd without the pressure of actually being on proper PGHW shows.

SAISHO looked on the verge of closure in 2014 when new PGHW owner Nobuatsu Tatsuko decided that it was an unnecessary financial burden. The legendary Mito Miwa, with little desire to be merely Tatsuko's lieutenant, stepped in and bought the company instead. He has proven a smart businessman; as well as bringing SAISHO into the Modern Japan fold, he has also made the product more exciting and cultivated a more international roster, especially after ACPW closed. Recently, the company has been losing a lot of money, and look to be on the verge of bankruptcy. Miwa might not be able to help them, and there are rumors it will close soon.

</div>

SAISHO is in serious trouble. The tsunami of 2016 nearly killed them, but Miwa kept putting his own money into them and found help from SAISHO's Modern Japan Allies and PGHW. Now, Miwa is close to being bankrupt himself, and it seems he'll sell the company very soon, possibly to PGHW. They have $50,000 and have lost popularity, currently having 16% popularity across Japan.

SAISHO has lost two of their main people. Azumamaro Kita and Fujio Narahashi have both left the company. Sensing the inevitable, Kita went to PGHW in December 2016, while Fujio Narahashi was hired by BHOTWG in December 2018. SAISHO have gained a number of former ACPW workers, including Katoh Freak, Little Dragon, Jayson Van Pelt, and Marcel LeFleur. they've also hired Stealth Z.

SAISHO Destiny Champion: Marcel LeFleur (since December 2018)

SAISHO A-1 Grand Prix Winners: Azumamaro Kita (2016), Fujio Narahashi (2017 & 2018), Marcel LeFleur (2019)

SAISHO A-1 Tag Team Grand Prix Winners: Azumamaro Kita & Fujio Narahashi (2016), Katoh Freak & Little Dragon (2017), Moroi & Babau (2018), Jayson Van Pelt & Marcel LeFleur (2019)

Warrior Engine XXV

</div>

Warrior Engine XXV was the brainchild of the legendary genius \ maniac Ryu Kajahara, who saw a gap in the Japanese market for a truly wild hardcore promotion. Using his own popularity as the launch pad, WEXXV burst onto the scene in 2005 and soon had people talking thanks to the organised chaos that passed for one of their shows.

Against all odds, WEXXV have managed to stay alive despite flirting with bankruptcy on a near annual basis, and have even found themselves becoming more influential as founding members of Kajahara's ultra-controversial 'Modern Japan' movement.

</div>

WEXXV is mostly the same as it was in 2016. They have 30% popularity across Japan, making them a low regional size. As previously mentioned, Kimi Kawano is on an excursion to Britain and Europe, where he works for SNP. WEXXV have gained a number of veterans. Freddie Datsun now works for them, deciding he wanted to leave USPW and have one more run in another company. Eddie Peak left TCW to reunite with Doug Peak in Japan. Eiji Hamacho left BHOTWG, deciding to work for WEXXV. Hamacho has plans to retire by the end of the year. TIER 1 talent Masafumi Torii recently began working for them.

WEXXV Warrior's Heart Champion: Freddie Datsun (since June 2019)

WEXXV King of Death Matches Champion: Doug Peak (since September 2019)

WEXXV Blood Brothers Champions: Eddie Peak and Doug Peak (since July 2019)

EXODUS 2010

The slightly mysterious EXODUS 2010 were founded by a group of investors represented by the media-shy Yoshi Oshiro and seemed to appear out of nowhere in mid-2010. With impressive (and slightly suspicious) financial reserves at their disposal, the new company had no problem attracting some big names to sign with them, including the controversial Burning EXILE who quickly became their head booker, star wrestler, and unofficial spokesman.

In-ring, EX2010 focus on junior heavyweight wrestlers and present an exciting, fast-paced product. In December 2011 they became the fourth promotion to join the controversial Modern Japan movement.

EXODUS 2010 isn't really changed much. They survived the 2016 tsunami pretty well, due to their money. They're regional sized, at 32% popularity across Japan. Their roster isn't very different, but Solar II has returned from Mexico and is now a main eventer for them.

EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight: Commander Kawagishi (since September 2019)

EXODUS Junior Heavyweight Grand Prix Winners: Silver Shark (2016), Tsuneyo Yanagimoto (2017), Commander Kawagishi (2018), Solar II (2019)

EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions: Commander Kawagishi and Shimpei Hirose (since March 2019)

EXODUS All-Asia Junior Heavyweight Champion: Midnight Tiger (since August 2019)

5 Star Supreme Wrestling

</div>

5 Star Supreme Wrestling are the most successful women's wrestling company in history, having dominated the joshi scene in Japan since the early 1990s when they put every other promotion out of business. They are best known for the very successful period where they had the 'Magic Three' - the legends Sensational Ogiwara, Thunder Hike, and Crusher Ichihara - headlining shows.

Long time owner Sakurako Kagawa retired in 2015, handing the reins of power over to Sensational Ogiwara. She revitalised a company that had become stale, promoting a faster-paced and more modern product and taking 5SSW into the Modern Japan movement. She helped the company get a TV deal and was responsible for starting the Womens Championship Wrestling Alliance, and is considered responsible for the rebirth of joshi's popularity. 5SSW is now considered a company that will become a true force in the future.

</div>

5SSW is growing in popularity. They now have $2,500,000 and 45% popularity across Japan. Thanks to the work of Yuma Maruya, DEVIL Karube, Dragon Assassin, Fuyuko Higa, and others, 5SSW is bringing back the popularity of joshi wrestling in Japan. They have a TV show on J-Network East 3 and a PPV deal with Jade 237. One of their workers, Lady Lotus, went on an excursion to Mexico and America, where she's found work with FFLL.

5SSW's roster has grown quite a bit, and has a number of young stars working on it. Emiko Miyoshi, Thea Davis, MAYA, Machiko Matsuda, Ursula Saez, Kaori Takenouchi, Rika Tsujimura, and the undefeated Rina Kasahara are just some of 5SSW's newest workers, with MAYA and Machiko having returned from an excursion to Europe.

5SSW World Champion: Tomoko Nagatsuka (since January 2018)

2019 J Grand Prix Winners: Yuma Maruya (2016), Tomoko Nagatsuka (2017), HEART Saitoh (2018), DEVIL Karube (2019)

5SSW Tag Team Champions: Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka (since August 2019)

5SSW All-Asian Champion: Rina Kasahara (since November 2018)

5SSW have also been responsible for the rise of women's wrestling around the world, which they did by forming

Womens Championship Wrestling

</div>

Created when 5SSW decided to leave the Modern Japan Movement, Women's Championship Wrestling is the premier alliance for women's wrestling. The inaugural members were 5SSW and AAA, and it eventually expanded to include QAW and Mexican luchadora company FFLL. There are rumors that through funding provided by 5SSW and AAA a company with the same name will be made in the British Isles, but those rumors are mostly unfounded. The alliance only lets in promotions that feature respectable womens wrestling, and is raising the reputation of womens wrestling every show.

</div>

Formed in April 2018, Womens Championship Wrestling is an alliance that features 5SSW, AAA, QAW, and FFLL. The alliance showcases womens wrestling from around the world, in multiple styles. They will never allow in promotions such as the closed BSC or any open promotion such as ELITE, as their womens "matches" use more sexual angles than actual matches.

Womens Championship Wrestling doesn't really have any titles, but it is an official alliance between womens companies. Some people are saying it plans to open womens companies around the world, and try to raise the profile of womens wrestling in the British Isles and Australia, where they are virtually non-existent.
