SAIBOT Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 From "voiceofwrestling.com" 12/25/2020 - Happy Holidays to the readers of voice of wrestling dot com. It's your favorite loud, jolly larger than life character ... no not Santa... the voice of wrestling, Clay Clinton! I'd like to once again thank you, the readers, because without you, I would not be able to enjoy what I love most; the world of wrestling, for almost 20 years since the closing of World Wide Wrestling. As most of you know, I have always had a "soft spot" for a particular Wrestling Company here at voiceofwrestling.com. For as long as I can remember, the Awesome Wrestling Federation has reminded me of the sports entertainment giant I once called home, WWW. Very recently, I've been in discussions with CEO and AWF owner Johnny Valleau, and I am proud to announce that as of January 1, 2021, I, Clay Clinton, will be the new booker of AWF. Though this may come as a shock to some of you, if you remember, this very site was responsible for the AWF hiring of Thomas Aria. I've maintained a friendship with the powers who be, and after showing interest in booking for a company, myself and Mr. Valleau were able to come to an agreement. Additionally, I will be joining the broadcasting team on a PPV basis only. Johnny and I both agree that I am here as a booker first, and a broadcaster second. Sitting behind the desk has always been my dream, and I will appreciate every single minute that I spend back there while on AWF pay-per-view. I have more than enough confidence in Kyle Howard and Kitty Reardon to continue covering the Retribution announcing duties with such expertise as they have in the past. Now some of you may be wondering, what happens to the site? Not to worry, although my blog posts may be farther apart, I will still be maintaining the website. I plan on giving updates after each monthly pay-per-view event, as well as reporting on any major news within not only AWF, but the world of wrestling. Best Regards, Clay Clinton P.S. This is Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAIBOT Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hello all! First timer here. A lot of great diaries here on the forums have inspired me to write one of my own as I dive into the Thunderverse with the intentions of my first long term save with the database. I'm fairly new to the TVerse in general, so the combination of the unknown and sharing my diary here should serve as more than enough motivation to keep this going for as long as I see fit. I've written sports themed diaries in the past, but never about booking a promotion, so apologies in advance for some of the headscratching booking / formatting changes you may see as we go. That being said, please feel free to provide any feedback, comments, questions etc. as all are welcomed and encouraged. And as always, I hope you enjoy!

Held on Tuesdays, but shown on Wednesdays. Taped one episode at a time. Broadcasted on Sports Choice TV on a late evening slot. Events: AWF New Year, No Limits : Sunday, Wk4, January AWF No Love Lost : Sunday, Wk4, February AWF Battle for Los Angeles : Sunday, Wk4, March AWF Chaos Reigns Supreme : Sunday, Wk4, April AWF Mayday Melee : Sunday, Wk4, May AWF Cage Rage : Sunday, Wk4, June AWF Wrestlefest :Sunday, Wk4, July* AWF Uprising : Sunday, Wk4, August AWF Power to the People : Sunday, Wk4, September AWF The Hollywood Horror Show : Sunday, Wk4, October AWF Fall Brawl : Sunday, Wk4, November AWF Where Champions Clash : Sunday, Wk4, December *denotes company's biggest event of the year Titles: AWF World Starting Prestige: 70 The "Big Gold Belt" of the AWF, the World title has been held by some of the biggest names of the past two decades. Once spray-painted with the logo of PWSUX, the title has been the centerpiece of several superb storylines over the years. AWF United States Starting Prestige: 65 Although the lineage of the AWF United States title only goes back to 2006, the company likes to claim that the belt was actually a continuation of the RAWA United States title. No one is entirely sure why. AWF Starlets Starting Prestige: 50 Although it was once seen as a prop for the eye candy "wrestlers" that were all the rage during the early 2010s, the AWF Starlets title has begun to gain prestige over the past few years, thanks to the likes of Amy Ladner, Rosa and Alexis James. AWF World Tag Team Starting Prestige: 40 Not the most respected tag team title in history, the World Tag Team titles were vacated for two years after Casey Skym declared tag wrestling a dead sport. Whilst the likes of ALPHA are bringing back some prestige, there is still a long way to go. AWF Television Starting Prestige: 40 Created in 2014 as a way to give the lowercard something meaningful to fight for, the AWF Television title might not be the most prestigious title in the company but it is the most frequently defended.

SAIBOT Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Wrestler Spotlight Name: Timothy Hawk Nickname:"The Main Event" Finishing Move: Hang Time Size: Muscular Light Heavyweight Age: 40 years old (born July 1980) Achievements: 2015 Wrestler of the Year, 10x AWF World Champion, 2x AWF United States Champion, 2x AWF World Tag Team Champion Bio: Timothy Hawk (born July 1980) is an American professional wrestler, television personality and movie star. No wrestler since Terry Thunder has had quite the mainstream impact of Timothy Hawk. Hailing from St Louis, Hawk debuted back in 2000 and quickly established himself as a hot prospect thanks to his incredible charisma and innate star quality. Joining the AWF in 2005, Hawk went on to become a grand slam winner in the company and was been the biggest star in American for most of the 2010s. However, whilst Hawk's rise to the top of the sport was nothing short of phenomenal, the AWF's one-sided booking meant that by 2015 fans were beginning to tire of "The Main Event". A successful stint as host of hit competition TV show "American Hercules" saw his mainstream popularity rise further still, however the time away from the squared circle, lengthened by a rare injury, has seen his drawing power finally begin to slide a little. Booker Notes: Hawk is called "The Main Event" for a very obvious reason. It took just under 7 years for Timothy to win the Big Gold Belt for a record breaking 9th time. Time is not on the megastar's side, however, and he hasn't had a run with the belt since the first half of 2019. Between his age, health, the crowd's burnout, and the ever shining stars of Hollywood, people are beginning to question just how much fuel Hawk has left in the tank.

SAIBOT Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wrestler Spotlight Name: Core Nickname: "The Demon Machine" Finishing Move: Korah's Parable Size: Bulky Big Heavyweight Wrestling Style: Powerhouse Age: 45 years old (born May 1975) Achievements: 2019 Veteran Wrestler of the Year, 4x AWF World Champion, 2x AWF World Tag Team Champion, AWF United States Champion Bio: Core (real name Phillip Jackson, born May 1975) is an American professional wrestler, standing 6'11'' and weighing in at around 360lbs. A sight to behold, Core started his career as the masked monster Korah in World Wide Wrestling and he was making some serious waves under a superb, metallic mask as a silent, masochistic and violent demon. Before he could truly have a game-changing impact, however, WWW fell. After two years away from the sport, Korah returned to became a shock signing of the Awesome Wrestling Federation, and he quickly began wreaking further destruction under the name Core. Having spent much of his early career as a one-dimensional monster, by the 2010s Core was finally beginning to see some character development. His first run as a babyface in 2013 was seen as a success, but arguably the biggest moment for Core came with his unmasking in 2015. Although a constant force in the upper card for the AWF, Core is more gatekeeper than top guy these days. Booker Notes: There are certain guys that you would kill to book during the peak of their careers; Core is the epitome of this. The brilliance behind the unmasking of Core (once known as Korah) not only gave the man a whole new look on wrestling life, but transformed the AWF landscape for years to come. We'll likely never see a talent like Core again, the man simply has it all, even at an old age. Despite being in the twilight of his career, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if we allocated this guy into the "AWF Gatekeeper" role. Instead, we'll have to give this legend everything we have and make sure that he ends his career on his own terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
