ewitner Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Before I begin I don't know how thorough this is going to be or even how frequently I'll be able to update it, but I promise to do my best. So I have always had this idea to treat a wrestling company like you would a regular team sport. You have teams that compete in a regular season, followed by the playoffs, like you would in a "real" sport. With that in mind, I created the USPWA using the May 2013 scenario and I have just begun my 2015 regular season. -My thought process is, just like sports, you aren't always loyal to the players on the team, but you're loyal to your team. Your city. The guy you adored last year is the guy you scream vile epithets at this year. -Each team has 8 wrestlers. There are 5 starters and 3 on the bench. Before each game the team sets it's starting lineup, which also sets the order they will wrestle. Until the lineups are submitted, you don't know what the other team is going to do. Will they put their 3 strongest wrestlers at the beginning, hoping you do the opposite? The wrestlers on the bench come in handy for injuries/rehab/off to make movies, etc... -Each game is 5 matches. Every match has a winner and a loser. The team that wins 3 matches wins the game. I do not select winners, so yes this could be a 5-0 blowout and it could be 3-2. Typically the bench wrestlers I team up for an exhibition match, which doesn't count to either the standings or the individual wrestler's records. I have considered expanding each game to 7 matches, but I still like the idea of having 3 players on the bench, so it would need a few more people. Maybe in the future. -We started with 8 teams doing 10 matches, moved to 10 teams doing 14 matches and have now expanded to 16 teams doing 14 matches. There are broken into 2 conferences and 4 divisions. Each team plays their division opponents twice, the other teams in their conference once and the entire division of the other conference once, so each team has 4 teams they don't play during the season. -The first 3 games and the last 3 games are your division opponents. Games 4-7 are the interconference games, then we have the All Star break, then Games 8-11 are against the opposing conference. -Halfway through we do an All Star Game, where the wrestlers with the best records represent their conference. 12 players are on each team and everyone has a match, but the official ASG is a 10-man tag team match. After the All Star Game the winning team has a 5-way match with each other and the winner of that becomes the All Star Game MVP. -There are end of season awards (well 3 things), we have an MVP which is the player with the best record and the All-USPWA 1st and 2nd team (which are the 10 players with the best records). The Finals MVP is given to the player on the winning team with the best record in the Finals. -The playoffs have also evolved. The first season it was the top 2 teams in each conference. In 2014 it became the top 3 teams, with the #1 seed getting a bye and the other 2 doing a wild card game. In 2015 it will expand to the top 4 teams of each conference. -I use four child companies that are basically there to run up the popularity of the guys between seasons. When you have 16 teams and 8 wrestlers on each team, you obviously need a lot of talent. -After the regular season each team can cut however many players they want (I just arbitrarily decide everyone under a certain popularity gets sent to developmental) and then there is a draft/free agency period where the teams fill up by signing the most over wrestlers in developmental. -From January thru March I run what's called the Exhibition Tour, which is just an excuse to keep everyone's popularity and momentum going. The regular season starts in April and begins with the defending champion having a home game. The second game (if neither have won the title) is Boston @ New York, which was the first game ever held. -I usually start the season with 3 games a week for the first 6 or so weeks and then go to 4 games a week. 2015 Regular Season Eastern Conference Atlantic Division Boston Elite 2-0 Carolina Connection 2-0 New York Guardians 0-2 Atlanta Wolves 0-2 Central Division Orlando Wave 2-0 Memphis Sound 1-1 Toronto United 1-1 Chicago Mafia 0-2 Western Conference Mountain Division Calgary Avengers 2-0 Phoenix Commandos 1-0 Dallas Vipers 0-1 St. Louis Gateway 0-2 Pacific Division Seattle Storm 2-0 Vegas Monarchs 1-1 Vancouver Panthers 1-1 Los Angeles Supreme 0-2 (I'll post the teams in the next post) History of USPWA ***The team's final records include what happened in the playoffs, which is why it's a bit wonky.

ewitner Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 (AP) Vancouver, British Columbia -- It was a bad day for the debut of the expansion Panthers, as Vancouver dropped their first game to the Seattle Storm, 3-2 on Friday night. 21,104 came out to Vancouver Stadium and saw Seattle bounce out to an early 2-0 lead with Timothy Thatcher beating Jeff Cobb, while Noam Dar got the pin against Adam Cole. Vancouver wasn't down for the count as Triple H kept them in the game by pinning Ilja Dragunov. Mike Bennett, fighting for his team, kept them alive against Aereo. However, Seattle regrouped and eeked out the win when PAC defeated Johnny Gargano in the main event. Vancouver heads out on the road to play Vegas next, while Seattle has their home debut vs Los Angeles. (AP) Phoenix, Arizona -- A league high 32,730 filed into Phoenix Stadium on Saturday night to see their Commandos route the St. Louis Gateway in a 4-1 game that was never close. St. Louis was favored to win with what appeared to be an unbeatable lineup, but this is why they play the game. Phoenix scored wins with Corey Hollis (over Dalton Castle), Dos Caras Jr (over WALTER), Matt Taven (upsetting Cesaro) and the young high flyer Fenix (defeating former World Champion Austin Aries). Long after the final result was official, Samoa Joe picked up St. Louis' sole victory against Michael Elgin. (AP) Boston, Massachusetts -- Brock Lesnar continued being the most dominant wrestler in the league as he dominated AJ Styles in the main event of today's Boston-Atlanta game. After pitching a 5-0 shutout over New York in their opener, Boston won their first two matches before losing their first and second match of the season, leaving Brock to clean up and give the home town Elite the win. In front of 24,470 fans Boston improved to 2-0 and will go on the road to Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewitner Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 (AP) New York, New York -- The Guardians continued their losing ways tonight as they got shut out by Bryan Danielson-led Carolina Connection. Playing their second game this season without their captain, Edge (due back in August), New York not only lost, but lost every single match for the second time this season. One has to wonder if the Guardian management will make major changes to the line-up before their next game against Atlanta. Both Jon Moxley and QT Marshall are aching to crack the starting lineup and they can't do any worse than the people already playing, can they? (AP) Chicago, Illinois -- At WWE's 2011 Money In The Bank event, CM Punk defeated John Cena in one of the greatest matches in WWE history. Saturday night, in their first post-WWE match with one another, we had the same result, as Punk pinned Cena with a Go To Sleep. However it was a bittersweet night for the Straight Edge Superstar, as the Chicago Mafia were defeated by the visiting Toronto United, 3-2. Sonjay Dutt provided the game winner, by defeating Matt Hardy in the penultimate bout. (AP) Memphis, Tennessee -- It was a bad weekend to be the home team in the USPWA. After losses at home by New York and Chicago, the Memphis Sound also went down in defeat, 3-2, today against Orlando. Things were going well for the Sound as they stormed out to a 2-0 lead and just needed one more win by any of their three top guys, but Nick Aldis, Chris Jericho and ACH all went down one after another. Memphis drops to 1-1, while Orlando takes sole possession of the Central Division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewitner Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 (AP) Las Vegas, Nevada -- The only good news for Monarch fans this afternoon was the team showed up physically for their game against the Vancouver Panthers. Fans left the stadium wondering where they were mentally. The expansion Panthers shut out the reigning USPWA Champion and 2-time Western Conference Champions before 31,735 people who wondered if their all star team had been replaced by New York. 13-time WWE Champion Triple H won the game by pinning Chris Sabin before Mike won the Battle Of The Bennett's against Stu. Finally in the main event Johnny Gargano scored the biggest win of his career, tapping out Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle. (AP) Seattle, Washington -- For those not paying attention, they would have thought they were watching a replay. The home town Storm improved to 2-0 with a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Supreme. In a game eerily familiar to their opener vs Vancouver, Seattle leaped out to a 2-0 lead with wins by Timothy Thatcher and Noam Dar before LA evened the game up. Finally, PAC was able to hit the Red Arrow on The Undertaker, picking up the win and claiming victory for Seattle. (AP) St. Louis, Missouri -- When the St. Louis Gateway put together their team in the off-season, reporters pointed to them as an early season favorite to be the team to knock off the dominant Chicago and Vegas teams. Two games into the season, fingers are being pointed and shoulders are being pinned. Today the Gateway put up a valiant effort, but came up short, losing 3-2 to Calgary. Despite WALTER picking up his first win, Dalton Castle, Cesaro and Austin Aries were left staring at the lights. Once again Samoa Joe ended up with a shallow victory, as Kyle O'Reilly may have lost the battle for the Avengers, but won the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
