PLAYER RANKINGS WITH CLASS

Manager "Dr. Pain" Mark Duchaine has created an app that introduces the concept of weight classes (based on total roster size) into the unofficial player rankings, which aim to gauge performance in the game by number of major title victories. Wondering how you stack up using his version? Click HERE for the standings for the April cycle and HERE for the entire year thus far!

UPDATE: Click HERE for his rankings that focus solely on the women's titles, HERE for those restricted to the men's tag belts, and HERE for his rankings based on just the World and U.S. Six-man Championships. (Note that Mark's system does not award bonus points for winning the same team titles more than once in a given cycle, unlike the other player-made rankings.)

IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 5/12)

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... driving yourself insane trying to recover a corrupted PowerPoint file!

"The 242nd edition of the IWAR Magazine honors the career of the WTL's Outlaw Ayson Aytes! One of the biggest stars in the league decided to call it a career and enter the IWA's Hall of Fame, but as he walks off into the sunset, we wanted to remember the amazing competitor who made the WTL a lot of fun and a tough place in which to win.

"The IWAR's 'Spring' Events have all wrapped up, with Hydro (RTL) besting King Khan (BRL) and Kamikaze (IWL) to win the Johnny B Cup. The 23rd ImagiClash was a night of crazy finishes that you have to see to believe. Keep in mind that the IWAR's Summer Events launch THIS cycle, so bring your best this cycle, as the Summer Series, King of the Ring, All-Rookie Cup, Elite Trios Invitational, and Badd Co. Cup all kick off.

"Of course, we cover the Best of the Best tournament being held in the IWL, which has finished round one and rolls into round two this cycle!

"Oh, and the IWAR Draft returns in a few months, and we already have our first three entrants, so make sure you figure out who you will enter and get to work on their promo(s).

"Join us WEDNESDAY, MAY 13th, for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Jimmy, and -- since it's School Vacation week -- maybe Adam and Derek wil be able to join us, as we review the results, IWAR news, and Johnny B's IWA Trivia (featuring Johnny B himself offering behind-the-scenes IWA secrets, factoids, and other random fun), respond to unfiltered feedback from our players in the live chat window, and add in the usual nonsense and gibberish. It was a good run of 98 episodes, but we pulled the plug on the IWAR Gold Strategy Workshop with strategy expert Mike Cook as a result of the chaotic results in the past six months. That said, we are not leaving players in the dark, as we have created the IWAR Cheat Sheet, and if you want to get a copy of it before the next cycle, drop me a line. Our shows about How to Win in the IWA and the Multi-man Special are still available. (Both YouTube links will open in new browser windows. The IWA is not responsible for their content.)

"The IWAR Creative Team -- Mike, Derek, Scott, Jeremy, Aaron, Alex, Patrick, Ryan, Tom, Dan, Derek (no, the other one), Rob, Darren, Jimmy, and I -- would like to thank our players for making the IWAR the best place to play in the IWA."

-- IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley

THE UNOFFICIAL HOW TO WIN IN THE IWA GUIDE V2.0 (updated 5/1/25)

Learning the ropes in a game where those ropes are imaginary can be confusing. Back in 2018, an unofficial How to Win in the IWA video was published to help. Now, a mere seven years later, IWA Strategy Expert Mike Cook and IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley have streamlined the video to get players started down the path to higher scores. Good luck!

SPECIAL EDITION OF THE IWAR MAGAZINE: IWA TURNS 38, BRL HITS 600! (updated 4/10/23)

"This special edition of the IWAR Magazine that acts as the Unofficial History of the IWA starts in 1985 and honors the Battle Royal League reaching its 600th cycle of competition by following the growth of the game through the events, changes, wrestlers, rivalries, and more. We hope you will enjoy this trip down memory lane, and the odds are good that you will see some names you recognize. This is an update to the 2017 edition, so if you saw it before, check it out again and see all that we've added.

"Thanks to all the people who've played in the IWA and have helped to make the game so much fun."
-- IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley
