1- BACKGROUND
======================================
The wrestling world is seemingly down to one wrestling promotion that runs on a National or larger scale. Many out there claim to be "global" or whatever that means, but in reality they run a more regional-style territory. It is because of this scaling down that wrestling's popularity has waned in recent years.

For Alan Jensen, this was a sad thing and something he wanted to rectify. However his place of employment was not amenable due to past failures. Jensen, who was part of the creative team for SCWE during its 2010-11 run, really thought they had something special going as he had just come on the staff in the final couple of months. The closure brought many edicts down from the board of directors and Owner/CEO Chris Hopper and among them was the edict that after the closing in the spring of 2011, CTI would not delve back into the wrestling business.

Jensen was transferred into marketing and toiled away. Three months ago, he was working on an advertising campaign and needed to know how much was budgeted for the television and radio spots. During this discussion with Ross Benedict, CTI's main financial voice under the CFO of the board, he noticed a piece of paper on the cluttered desk. That piece of paper was an account balance for the "wrestling division" that had $4.3 Million in it.

Jensen immediately asked about it and Benedict proceeded to explain how that fund at one time had more than $75 million in it, but the last 3 ventures into promoting wrestling had nearly depleted it. It was still set aside because Hopper never wanted to let go of that dream and then has seemingly forgot the fund existed. Alan asked if it was still possible to tap into it with the right idea and Benedict's answer was "it better be a good idea."

That is when Jensen began working on an idea that would hopefully get CTI back in the wrestling business. Three weeks after seeing that piece of paper on benedict's desk, Jensen stood before the board of directors and presented his plan that included the concept of internet PPV events rather than the much more costly traditional PPV events. Television would be driven by wrestler youtube channel shows and connecting to the internet in ways a CTI-owned federation had never done.

The board was intrigued enough to allow him access to the fund. Jensen immediately hired a staff of technical advisors for TV shows, iPPVs and all things pyrotechnic. His desire is to make a splash. He secured time on a the FOX Sports family of channels each week for the programming...one week deemed for wrestler promos and interactions and the other for the television show. These will all occur on Tuesday nights as there is little to no wrestling opposition on that night.

Now CTI sits back and watches to see if Jensen can come through on his promises...

======================================
2- OOC STUFF
======================================
I'm Chris Hopper. I've been in this game since March of 1995 and have almost done it all, both good, bad and ugly. I've handled more characters in my time than even I want to admit and in more federations that I can shake a stick at. Suffice to say, this game is my crack, as I am sure it is for most of you as well! ;-) I created this idea with the hopes of having an easy workload for us older guys that will hopefully tell some great stories and give all of us involved plenty of fun...which is what this hobby is all about. Everything else about the fed and how I'll run it is mentioned in different places below. You can find me on AIM at toocoolch or on yahoo at hopper_family_3

======================================
3- LEAGUE INFO
======================================

The NWA will be an e-mail based "hybrid" fed. Hybrid means that handlers will be encouraged to work out angle ideas for each cycle if they have a feud in mind (cleared for overall use by the fed head)...but that the blowoff match will be booked by the fed head based upon quality of the work done during the cycle.

The RPing can be done in multiple ways...

* RP Packet - Handlers can (and are encouraged) to send in an RP for this, which will occur every other week. This will be the main source of RPing in the league. It will be played off as a show that highlights the "youtube channels" of the wrestlers, allowing for the varied locations and content of what we have morphed "flashes" into.

* On-card pieces - These are mostly reserved for the iPPV shows (as the only fully written PBP show each cycle)...however if the angle is hot enough and the handlers desire....I am not above adding on-card segments to the summarized bi-weekly TV shows.

* Twitter - This is NOT a requirement, but I have found that it adds a layer of reality to the game. The NWA will have a centralized twitter account that each wrestler that created a twitter account should follow. This will allow some character development that can be done on more "real time" than within an RP. The twitter feed will run through the NWA's official twitter... @NWA_Official

In order to be part of this, you will need to join the league mailing group. I set up a google groups for the league (first time I have ever used them) and you can find that at https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/nwa_official_mail

-----------
TITLES
-----------
The NWA will have plenty of titles...but early on, I will start with only 2...

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Both are self-explanatory...as the roster grows, so will the stockpile of titles (the idea of an American Title, TV title and possible a hardcore type of title are in my head....but we need a large roster to pull it off)

Also I am beginning with no female division. I had an idea of having one, but got no interest it seems...so this will be on hold. If I get 6 female character apps sent in, I will consider creating the "Vixen's Division."

----------
RULES
----------
1- The "Don't break the chain rule" - a UEW homage as the rule states that if you win a title...eventually you will lose that title. The chain will not be broken. If someone leaves the fed while champion, they will be booked to lose the title before exiting.

2- Language - Try not to go too crazy. If the FCC would allow it on network television....you can get away with it here. Our TV show will run similar hours of real life shows 9-11 PM....so there is some leniancy....but no F-bombs and etc. I reserve the right to put [BLEEP]'s anywhere I see fit once something is turned into me.

3- Complaining - I'm all for discussion when it comes to why I decide what I do on a blowoff match or what i write in a summary TV show. However, I will not tolerate it becoming a public problem that takes over league focus. Any issues need to be brought to me as the fed head and we can discuss it without incident.

4- Character rules - I would like to have it be one character/team per handler...but I won't limit it, especially early on. Just make sure you can handle the workload for the fed. Also...no crazy tall, fat, short, etc....I doubt we should have someone over 7'6" or under 5'6" in the men's division. I would say 600 lbs or so ought to be the weight limit...but you all understand this.

======================================
4- LEAGUE SCHEDULE
======================================
The league will have bi-weekly TV shows that will be written in summary format...this includes everything that happens on the TV show and that also means that not all matches will be known in advance. It will hopefully be more realistic and lead to more exciting RP packets.

Each cycle will consist of 4 TV shows and then an iPPV. The iPPV will be fully written and be a massive show. This is where the angles end or are progressed to the next stage.

Eventually I will do house shows....but I will be doing them differently by just stating what the house show schedule is (which will include the winners and etc.) and then say that this show is ran every place on that circuit for the month (which is who they usually do it)

The RP Packets will occur one week and the summary TV show the next. This will allow for some content to be coming out every week. I am toying with having multiple RP shows before the iPPV....but that will be a feeling out process witht he handlers as we approach them.

I will say this....the schedule for each cycle is around 10 weeks or so (4 TV shows and the iPPV)...so while I will use dates, I will not be stressing that particular events be held at same time each year. The cycle is that length and events will be dated as such and be different dates each year.
