Most recent update: November 6, 2023

Since late last year, I've been working on a little project in Pro Wrestling Sim. The game lacks a comprehensive default database and I wanted to make a fictional database that I could have fun with and make interesting fantasy saves with. As the months have gone by, I've put in a lot of work to this, and it's very playable.

There are 22 active promotions, and of those 17 are completed. There are approximately 900 active workers in the database, with plans for between 2000-2500 in total. I'm now posting this to get public feedback as I continue to develop the mod. It's playable and fun, but there's still work to be done. There are no renders or images, but those are in the process of being made.

As of now, the promotions of America, Canada, Britain, Europe, and Japan are completed. There will be 4 promotions in Australia, 2 promotions in Mexico, and 2 promotions in Puerto Rico. There's also going to be many free agent workers available in each region. 

The database's start date is on January 1, 1976. The lore of the mod goes back to the early 1900s, with 11 inactive promotions and the bios of important characters contributing to it. There will be other posts in this thread that will give more of an introduction into the lore of the game about specific characters and promotions, but in this first post I'll give a quick going over of what's been done so far.

There are five promotions in America. World Premier Wrestling is owned by Roberto Ricci. Roberto is the son of Angelo Ricci, a prominent wrestler from the 1930s until the 1950s. Roberto didn't have much to do with pro wrestling until his father was forced out of the Liberty Wrestling Federation in a coup, and after Angelo's death his son wanted revenge. Roberto opened WPW, took several wrestlers who were unhappy with the LWF for ousting Angelo, and he put them out of business in 3 years. He then went after several other promotions, and WPW has been responsible for the closure of the LWF, Vancouver Royal Wrestling, Texas Championship Wrestling, and Southern World Class Wrestling. Roberto respects wrestling and its tradition, but he has no respect for promoters as he holds a grudge due to his father being largely forgotten and ignored by those in the industry. WPW faces practically no competition, aside from Quentin Love. Love bought Atomic Vegas Wrestling in 1971, changed the name to Las Vegas Wrestling Entertainment, and has been promoting some risqué shows. WPW has easily taken their best talent, and the shadiness and downright disgusting behavior of Love has resulted in LVWE suffering. Other promotions include 50th State Wrestling, a promotion whose owner, Kahiau Kahananui, has a lot of influence in wrestling, Washington State Wrestling, an old promotion slowly dying, and New England Championship Wrestling, a promotion responsible for creating most of the modern stars in America and Canada.

Only one major promotion remains in Canada. Historically, four promotions controlled their regions of Canada. The Labelle Wrestling Company, Ontario Championship Wrestling, Calgary Combat Stampede, and Vancouver Royal Wrestling worked together for decades, but when World Premier Wrestling began stealing stars and venues, they suffered. VRW went out of business in 1969, and in 1974, the other three promotions decided to merge together and form the Canadian Wrestling Coalition. They've done a good job of keeping WPW from doing any more harm, and thanks to the merging of rosters they now have perhaps the best set of talent in the world.

Britain's wrestling industry was ruled by Majesty Wrestling for two decades. The promotion had the official backing of the government, thanks to Harry Billingsley's deceit, and they had the law behind them to shut down all other promotions in the country, forcing those that remain to go into hiding just to keep holding shows. They opened their own training school and had a monopoly on wrestling. Then in 1971, New Era Wrestling began after a group of underappreciated wrestlers left Majesty Wrestling and got the backing of a rich investor. They've taken a lot of stars from Majesty Wrestling, and the two promotions are fighting each other with underhanded tactics and putting on great shows.

Europe lacked any major wrestling promotion for many years because World War I and World War II. Wrestling was mostly a carnival show attraction until the late 1940s, when small, organized promotions finally began to pop up and stay running. Then in 1955, European Championship Grappling opened. It held shows with the best talent in Europe, and after touring around West Germany, ECG would tour all of Western Europe and become a solid promotion. In 1975, Gregor Wendl, the promoter of ECG, was forced to resign in disgrace after a scandal. ECG lost most of its roster, and even with the aid of a new young owner, the promotion is having trouble regaining credibility with fans and people within wrestling.

Japan has a history of the wrestling industry regulating itself. In 1948, the Empire Wrestling Alliance was formed. Any promotions within the alliance benefitted immensely, but any promotions that went against the alliance or ran without it's backing would be run out of business through all manner of unethical business practices. Things ran smoothly until 1955, when the International Wrestling Association left the alliance to become the top promotion in the country, after it became unhappy with its status within the alliance. The EWA funded and formed the Royal Wrestling Association, and soon the two promotions were at each other's throats. In 1959, the IWA went out of business, but a large blow had been dealt to the EWA, and it took years to recover. In 1971, Modern Golden Japanese Wrestling was started, after a massive exodus of wrestlers from the RWA left due to dissatisfaction with the CEO of the RWA, Masu Wakamura. The disagreement was very public, and the EWA's image suffered greatly. The alliance is suffering from more internal fighting, and while the RWA is still the top promotion in the country, it's stagnant and falling from its position.

Australia's promotions are spread apart and there's not much history, but that history is being made in the present. Four notable promotions are across the continent: Emerald City Championship Wrestling in Sydney, Australia, the Melbourne Wrestling Federation in Melbourne, Australia, Iron Championship Wrestling in Perth, Australia, and Darwin Wrestling in Darwin, Australia. ECCW and the MWF were inspired by American promotions. They're the largest promotions in Australia, but they're nowhere near being at a national level and they only hold shows within their regions. They're looking to expand, but they're constantly at each other's throats, and rather than work together, which could improve their situations, they instead steal talent and sabotage shows. Iron Championship Wrestling was created by a wrestler named Iron Strangler, after he left Darwin Wrestling. ICW is a mostly traditional wrestling promotion, but it also has some hardcore wrestling and innovative styles. ICW does okay, but it's held by back Iron Strangler withholding pay and doing whatever he can to get one over on his roster. Darwin Wrestling had the best wrestlers in Australia, but when Cyclone Tracy hit the city of Darwin in 1974, a large portion of the roster who had lived in the city evacuated, resulting in Darwin losing much of its roster and having to bring in new wrestlers. Still, it has great wrestlers and the potential to rebuild.

I look forward to receiving feedback as I continue making this mod.
