GWA ARCHIVE
NOVEMBER 2001, VOLUME 0, ISSUE 1


Welcome to the 1st edition of the GWA Archive!!! My name is Jerry “The Boss” Bueker and I’ll catch you up on all the happenings in the November cycle!! We here at the GWA strive to make this the most exciting pbm wrestling game. We understand to achieve this, that our managers MUST play an active part in the game, and how it is designed. That means continuous feedback, ideas, etc. to make this game as enjoyable as possible. So if you have any brainstorms, put it on paper and submit it with your matches. We will entertain all ideas!!!

A few new ideas and changes have occurred in the GWA. As more and more managers join the GWA, more and more contests will be created, as well as more leagues will be formed. We have plans to implement the SOUTH division which already has the GML. A few more leagues will be created to form the SOUTH division. Once activity rises, we plan to also have an EAST and WEST division. But all of this is proportional to our manager interests!! So get the word out about the GWA!!!

One major change this cycle is the implementation of ALL leagues being a cash league!!! There will be both “special” cash leagues and “regular” cash leagues. The “special” cash leagues award $50 to the league champion, and require a $5 minimum to be eligible for this. Examples of these leagues are the PBL, HTL, and the newly formed GML. All other leagues will reward $25 for the league champion, with the minimum payment remaining at $3!!! We hope this accommodates ALL of our managers and raises the level of competition!! As more and more leagues form, and more managers join, we plan on rewarding monetary awards to MAJOR cycle winners as well (i.e. Cycle World Champion, etc). So once again, spread the word about the GWA!!!

Finally, each cycle we will have a space for manager input on certain issues. You will always find this under the introduction to the archive!! The first issue at hand is the way the tag and 6-man system is set up. We want input from you, the GWA managers, on your thoughts about which system is better. The current system uses wrestler #1s hold values for slots #1,3,5,7,9,11,13 (as explained in the GWA handbook). Wrestler #2s hold values are used in slots #2,4,6,8,10,12, with the highest finishing hold of the team being used as the 14th. This system COULD possibly yield a tag strat that COULD be lower than your individual strats!! So it is possible for wrestler #1 to have a 470, wrestler #2 to have a 475 and their tag strat to total 468!!! 6-Man is figured much the same way, using the idea of a tag team then the third wrestler using the highest of all holds as compared to the tag strats (as explained in the GWA handbook).

The other system we are looking at, which may be more beneficial, is setting the tag teams where the highest hold value between either team member is used in that slot. So instead of using wrestler #1 for odd slots and #2 for even slots, we simply compare the strats and use the higher of the two holds!!! This would ensure that your tag strat would NEVER be lower than a member of the tag team!! The same idea is then held true for the 6-man matches!!!

So on your match selection sheet, or on a separate sheet of paper, please write in and tell us which system you want to use!! We will go with the majority on this issue so speak up!!! We will NOT implement the new policy until it is mentioned in the GWA Archive!! Please give us feedback on this issue and any other issues that you feel need addressed. As you can see, this game is very manager interactive!!! NEXT CYCLE: More issues and a look at upcoming “special” leagues and contests!!! Good luck this cycle and those to come. Enjoy!!!


GWA NOV. CYCLE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH


“Welcome to the first ever match for the coveted GWA World Championship!!! What makes this match exciting is the fact that no one can ever say that they were involved in the FIRST match for this awesome championship; except these two very powerful individuals!!! I’m Jerry “The Boss” Bueker and I will be your commentator for this match. Let’s get down to ringside for the introductions of our two superstars!!!”
RING ANNOUNCER: “This match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, welcome from the mighty NBK stable and current PBL league champion, The Dark Messiah!!”
(The Dark Messiah’s music blares over the PA system as he accompanied by cheers and boos from the sold out crowd here at The Assembly hall in Champaign, Illinois)
“And his challenger, also representing the NBK stable, the current HTL league champion, Solid Snake!!”
(Solid Snake runs to the ring accompanied by his music. He slides into the ring and offers a handshake to his manager who successfully brought him into this exciting match)
JERRY “THE BOSS” BUEKER: It’s good to see two stablemates go head to head for the head cheese!! It makes for exciting spine-chilling action as controversies and other possibilities are always abound!! Lets get down to the action!!
(0:00) Snake and Messiah lock arms in middle of the ring, an evident test of strength by both individuals!! Great competition as Snake seems to have the early advantage..but WAIT…Messiah is coming back and is forcing Snake down to one knee…KICK to the midsection as Snake falls to the canvas. So much for stablemates!! Messiah grabs a handful of hair and whips Snake into the ropes, a Lariat!!! Snake lands hard onto the canvas!! What’s this? Messiah goes for a nearby chair….the ref is turned..SMACK!!!..right across the head of Snake. Messiah goes for an early pin..ONE…TWO..THR… Kick out!!! Oh man was that close. Messiah clutches Snake by the arm and rolls his arm over. Kick in the abdomen!! Messiah has come out here as the stronger of the two stablemates. Snake reverses a toss into the turnbuckle….he runs hard at Messiah…Messiah jumps out of the way and Snake hammers head first into the turnbuckle!!! Messiah grabs the ailing Snake…whats this?? A half nelson slam!!! Oh man, that had to hurt. Looks as if the head of Snake slammed hard into the canvas. Messiah rolls him over and motions for the figure four..NO!! Snake quickly rolls over and slams a boot underneath the chin of Messiah!! Snake leaps to his feet and drills his partner with a body tackle slamming Messiah to the canvas. With a handful of hair, Snake props Messiah up..what’s this….SPINE BUSTER!!! Messiah falls to the mat in evident pain….Snake to the top turnbuckle….MISSILE DROPKICK right in the chin!!! Messiah spits blood as he hits the canvas hard!! Snake for the cover..ONE..TWO…Foot on the rope!!! What an exciting match so far…
(8:23) Messiah took the early advantage but Snake has fought back feriouscly and has really taken advantage of this match. A Sidewalk slam was followed quickly by a snap suplex and Messiah lays prone in middle of the ring. Snake crawls to the top turnbuckle…looking for the five star frog splash..off the ropes…HE MISSES!!! Messiah brilliantly set him up and Snake is in evident pain. Messiah gets to his feet…off the ropes…Cross Body Block!!! Snake goes down into the canvas with Messiah on top of him. Messiah pulls him up and..OH MY GOD!!! Swinging Neckbreaker!!! You can hear the neck pop as he delivered that move with precision. Snake clutches his neck in evident pain. Messiah pulls him up….AGAIN!!! Another NECKBREAKER!!! Snake is down and is hurting!!! Messiah waves to the crowd..here comes his finisher, “The Fall From Grace”…NO!!! Snake reverses it into a facebuster!!! Off the ropes…Guillotine Leg Drop on the adam’s apple of Messiah. He clutches his neck for air. Snake pulls Messiah to his feet….eye gouge followed by a karate chop in the chest. Messiah is down to one knee…
(14: 43) A brutal match that this has turned out to be!!! Just when it looked like Snake had Messiah where he wanted him, Messiah slammed the head of Snake into the pole and busted it wide open. Both stablemates are now bleeding as the lay outside the ring!!! The ref is up to eight in his count. Messiah slowly gets up and throws his stablemate back into the ring. Messiah is clutching his arm which he hurt a little while ago. Messiah grabs Snake by the arm and pulls him.up..BEAR HUG!!! He’s squeezing the life right out of him!!! Man that has to take a toll so late in the match!!! Both men are battered and bruised but they are showing heart!!! What’s this?? Snake elbowed Messiah on the bridge of the nose busting it wide open!!! Messiah looks dazed and confused!! Snake lines him up for a…CRUCIFIX!!! OH man,,that has got to hurt!! He’s looking for a submission….NO!! Messiah breaks the hold..what strength…
(23:24) Snake is down on the canvas…off the top rope…Messiah lands a perfect top rope splash!!! He pulls snake up and delivers a sideslam..followed by a STUNNER!! Oh man, this is it….Messiah is waving his hand in the air….here comes “The Fall From Grace”!!! OH MY GOD…..Snake has reversed it into his “Infiltration”…Messiah is caught off guard….what’s this? Here comes two members from the PE stable from the same PBL!!! They slam a chair over the head of Messiah and clobber his stablemate Snake in the head as well…Both PE members stand strong in the ring as they pull out a few tables…what are they doing?? Chokeslams through the tables!!! Oh man…..one of the PE members, Grunge, is grabbing the mic…
“TDM, you wanted a war…you got a war..I bet you never saw this one coming!!! Hope you and your hooligans enjoy this spotlight, because there are more ass kickings where this came from!!”
(He throws the mic outside the ring and spits on the bloodied figures in the ring. The crowd boos as the PE wrestlers exit the ring)
RING ANNOUNCER: “This match has ended in a draw..because of such extensive circumstances, we will be forced…..”
(Solid Snake grabs the mic from the Ring Announcer and grabs a hold of the World Belt)
SOLID SNAKE: “This championship belongs to the NBK stable….to the better man….” (Snake offers his hand to The Dark Messiah) “You my friend, are crowned the FIRST GWA WORLD CHAMPION!!!” (The crowd erupts in cheers are both men exchange hand shakes and leave the match evidently beaten and distraught fropm the sneak attack)
JERRY “THE BOSS” BUEKER: “Oh man, what a great way to start off this new federation!!! Two stablemates coming together at the end…and just when it looked like more trouble from within the stable, Solid Snake hands over the strap to his manager!!!

The November GWA World Champion hailing from the Poor Boy League (PBL), with a perfect strat of 488, was NBK: The Dark Messiah managed by “TDM”. He had to edge fellow stablemate NBK: Solid Snake of the HTL who also had a perfect 488!!! Congrats to “TDM” on winning the first ever strap!!!

Top 10 Singles Rankings


Mo’ Money Champion

It is pretty evident by this cycle’s archive on who has achieved this award! Managing his wrestlers to dominate the GWA first cycle earned “TDM” both the Mo’ Money Award as well as the stable to beat!! His NBK stable laid claim to every major title that the GWA has to offer! Other managers also had a great showing this cycle but was overshadowed by the domination of "TDM”. Let’s see if this type of domination can be repeated or if it was just a “fluke”! Congratulations to “TDM” on this cycle’s ASS kickings!!


Final Thoughts

This first GWA archive DID NOTinclude tag and 6-man ranks, cycle stable ranks, overall stable ranks, overall manager ranks, and cycle manager ranks because of the limitations of amounts of leagues as well as being the first report. These items, and much more, will be included in upcoming archives! The best way to make this archive truly exciting is to get the word out about how fun the GWA is!!

Before we go, we here at the GWA would like to mention that you, the managers, can register YOUR stable to us!! This comes at NO cost to you!! We must remind you that for your stable to participate in the upcoming stable ranks, they MUSTbe registered!! So the stable leader should register his or her stable and include the stable members with it! It will be up to either the stable leader or participating individuals to keep us informed on who has joined or left a certain stable. Registering a stable ensures that NO ONE ELSEthat is NOTon your list can use your stable name and initials!! So be prompt on getting us your information. Just include this information with your match selection sheets! We must also mention that the only way to participate in the future planned stablecade is by having a registered stable!

We hope that you have enjoyed your first cycle in the GWA. We do promise to keep up our end of the deal in producing top quality league bulletins that are both competitive and fun!! We have a lot of great ideas which right now are limited due to the “newness” of the game and the small amount of leagues. Remember that comments, questions, stable registrations, etc. CANbe sent to us through email! Visit our homepage at www.globalwrestlingalliance.netto get our email addy and other pertinent information in the GWA!! Congratulations to all the winners this cycle and good luck to ALLindividuals on the cycle to come. We appreciate your business and determination to make the GWA the best damn pbm wrestling game ever!!
