CALVIN'S CORNER -- GORGEOUS AMAZON LEAGUE
GAL (11/7) "Pandora's Box... This thing is going to be epic! Rainbow Rika Roberts versus Wildfire Betty Redd... are you kidding me? The return of GAL's OG, Blackjack Betty taking on Wildheart Margaux Nizhoni... that one's going to be insane! MDL star Scarlet Briar steps in the ring with Awilda Kleinsteiner... and 'Shadow Mare' Takoda Reznik battles it out with PDL's resident lunatic, Crazy Jenny Starr. And that's just the beginning.
"In a star-studded 4 Corners Tag-Team match... we got Angelina Blanco & Lady K from the PDL, GAL's very own Sky & Sunny Rose, as well as the Deadly Divas, Eva Nescence & Sophie O'Sullivan, and finally, the IWAR Women's Tag-Team Champions, Brenda 'Bring Da' Payne & Golden Girl Gina Colada from BWL. Absolute mayhem, no doubt about it.
"A special Survivor Series Showdown pits Team GAL consisting of Carrisa Owens, Tany Roja, Angelina Romanov, Lynda Prince & Lisa Lamborghini against the uber-stacked Team BWL with Veruca Sault, Aria Gunpowder, Mother Dee, Rachel Van Dorn & Rachel Yamazaki. Can't wait to see this one!
"What else could they possibly do? How about a special Pandora's Box match? We're talking Belle James, Destyni Sanchez-Leon, Sara Stone, Nakita Wu, Cori Chaos, Alexa Winters, Jane Redd, Shayna Douglas, Ms. Maude, Trixie McGee, Bianca Punk, Roxanne Gutierrez, Amelia King, Selene Bloodrose, Nookie the Secret Weapon, Heaven O'Connor, Fallon Luna, Amy Jo Krasavina and anyone else with the guts to jump into that brouhaha!
"Pandora's Box will be one for the ages."

CALVIN'S CORNER -- BLOOD BATH WOMEN
BBW (10/30) "Big match coming up in BBW... five superstars, falls count anywhere, and a shot at the Queen of Hardcore is on the line. Mistress Death, Eclypse, Gemma Gunsmoke, Lady Swine and Lady Wildcat Warrior will provide the carnage, and I'm sure Masked Matriarch will be enjoying every minute of it.
"The Royal Family of Doom had a lot to celebrate following major victories. Most notably, Samantha Kane winning the Mae Young Invitational... and they're promising bigger and better to come. Of course, Olivia Oblivion bragged on her recent victory over Miss Kane, so there you go. Also, the Island Warriors were wondering where the Russians had gone. I was wondering that myself.
"Blackjack Betty played a creepy card game. First, she laid it all out for the 3 faces of Death... Lady, Mistress and Sister. For the RFD, her comments were pointed directly at Eclypse as she questioned her hardcore credentials. Finally, a clip was played of GAL's Margaux Nizhoni challenging Betty to a match at the Pandora's Box pay-per-view. Wildheart vs Blackjack... I know she won't back down from that.
"As usual, the women of Blood Bath are far more interesting than their BBL counterparts."

IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 10/28)
"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... spending the afternoon waiting for Gold to post!
"Our 233rd cover features 'The Great Entertainer' Brian Clothier (NWL), an outstanding rookie who is gaining fame and foes at a similar pace. He's led the Maryland Militia along with G-Force Garrie Morris and a Random Baltimore Vagrant (RBV) to battle the Fish Fam for domination of the IWA's rookie league, which caught the eye of every IWAR Commissioner, so it was no surprise when Brian was the first-overall pick in the 2025 IWAR Draft. Clothier won the All-Rookie Cup and, along with Morris, was a finalist for the Badd Co. Cup, which makes us wonder: what can't the Great Entertainer do? Check out the NWL and see for yourself.
"Sign-ups for the 7th Ladder Match Battle Royal are open, and this special Battle Royal, which will be held in November, has a quick turnaround, so don't delay! Check out the details for signing up, and there's another HUGE announcement that makes this event twice as big!
"The IWAR's Fall Events roll into their final round of competition THIS cycle, so aim high for those scores if you're involved in Bound for Glory, the Tag-team Derby, or the Triple D Cup Trios Tournament! We have opened sign-ups for the IWAR Spring events, so you can get in on the action for the Johnny B Cup, the Marano Memorial Tag-team Tournament, and the Lethal Lottery Tag-team Tournament. They will be starting in January, so you want to sign up ASAP.
"Join us TONIGHT (10/28) for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Scott, Jimmy, and many more, 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." (The YouTube pages 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

CALVIN'S CORNER -- LONE WOLF LEAGUE
LWL (10/10) "Big doings going on in Lone Wolf! With Devil's Night in the books, new Imperial champions have been crowned beginning with Elijah Thorne and Eli Richter winning Imperial Tag-Team gold from Ando Snaggletooth and Big Rye. Pre-match, there was concern that Snaggletooth may no-show, but, as Thorne promised, 'The Outcast' was there. Later, in the main event, the man with no use for a cool nickname, Justin Vickers, defeated Ando Snaggletooth in a match with surprisingly little pre-match hype. Vickers is your new Imperial Champion.
"Meanwhile in New Jersey, John Doe received a phone call from BRL Commissioner Dick Jackson informing him that he'd been selected in the IWAR Draft. He seemed to welcome the news only to slip into an Elijah Thorne-like delusion which he refers to as Nocturnal Death.
"Flathead Rob made it known that he's shifting focus to singles competition as evidenced by his taking of the Mid-Atlantic title. He then warned Tommy Zulu that he's gonna have a target on his back in the PWI Survivor Series match. With possibly the most disturbing threat I've ever heard, he promised to make Stan Malitowski look like Carrot Top! Yikes! Before heading to the ring, Ol' Flathead imparted some wisdom to NWL rookies looking to matriculate to Lone Wolf. He says...
"If it looks too good to be true, you're almost certainly watching Flathead Rob."

CALVIN'S CORNER -- PRETTY DEADLY LEAGUE
PDL (9/18) "Starry Knight won the Vegas Gold title over Candy Starr at Vegas Gold IX. Also on the card, it was absolute mayhem in the Big Slot Machine Free for All, but, in the end, Fierce Felicity Daniels eked out the victory leaving Corrupt Cori Chaos fuming at Zephyra Tidewater.
"In other action, Stormy Knight narrowly defeated Lady Nightingale while Heaven O'Connor used her Celestial Cradle to take down Hellcat. Also, Trixie McGee defeated Majestic Moira Rose.
"Outside the ring, the Royal Family of Doom had a little powwow to make known their plans for the event. Some of which happened, and some didn't. Meanwhile, Cori Chaos spoke of intense dreams before hitting the ring to put on the real show for the fans. Destyni Sanchez-Leon called out Commissioner Fries for not booking her on the big stage.
"As for 'Nature Grrrl' Nakita Wu, she lamented her shortcomings in a big spot but seemed to feel that the deck was stacked against her anyway. Finally, Angelina Blanco bragged about her tag-team success with Lady K. but, at the same time, 'The Angel of Light' doesn't want to keep her partner from individual success and hoped Lady K. would see some singles gold soon. Great to see that kind of sportsmanship.
"Another Pretty Deadly cycle for PDL."

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!
