IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 3/11)

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... calling on the luck of the Irish (yes, six days early!) as we all wait for the Gold results to post!

"Our 222nd edition of the IWAR Magazine takes a look at the controversial policies Western Trails League Commissioner Cactus Jacque has imposed due to his hatred of masked wrestlers. When his ban was overturned by Johnny B, Cactus Jacque tried another tactic: tariffs! Will his surcharge on masked grapplers work to rid his league of luchadors, or cause them to illegally migrate into the WTL? The hated Senor Lucha and his Big Tess Stickles have gotten in the way of Jacque's plans. Who will win out?

"The IWAR Cup is underway, and the 18th Best of the Best Series (where the winner earns a title shot at the IWAR World Championship) rolls into round two, as do the Johnny B Cup, the Marano Memorial Tag-team Tournament, and the Lethal Lottery Trifecta events. There is always a lot of action in the IWAR, but this is going to be a crazy cycle.

"The special section announcing all the winners of the 2024 IWAR Achievement Awards has been delayed a cycle due to totally foreseen circumstances! (Again!)

"Join us for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Scott, Darren, and many more as we review the results, IWAR news, Johnny B's IWA Trivia (will we finally find out who the dude with the lightning bolt on his forehead is?), unfiltered feedback from our players, and the usual nonsense and gibberish. Don't forget, every Thursday night before Gold Day, the IWAR Network offers the IWAR Gold Strategy Workshop with strategy expert Mike Cook that breaks down the drops to consider in Gold each cycle to score higher. Also check out our one-off show about multi-man strategies!" (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, and I want to thank our players for making the IWAR the best place to play in the IWA."
-- IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley

LADIES' CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS (updated 3/11)

The standings will return next cycle. Watch for them!

 

XTREMELY FREE

To celebrate the long-awaited return of the incomparable Commissioner Venom Scott, the IWA is offering all players free transfers and wrestler creations in the Xtreme Poison League for the next three cycles! In addition to experiencing the immense fun only The Venomous One can provide, you'll get to compete for the American and Elite titles, and the XPL World Heavyweight Champion has a chance to receive a $12 match deal from Venom himself! Oh, and did we mention that the manager of the League Champion can potentially win $50 in IWA credit every cycle?

Bring your creativity and up to six of your best athletes, but do it soon: there are pay-per-views on the horizon you won't want to miss!

 

WHAT A YEAR!

The 2024 IWA Gauntlet Magazine is now available, and it's packed with more information than you can shake an iron fist at! Check out the preliminary list of recipients of the 2024 Gauntlet Awards (who are the most underrated, respected, popular, and hated managers?), find out the identities of the 2024 Best of the Best and the inaugural IWA Survivor champions, and take a moment to remember the late Timothy Clark. See if you've made it into the all-time rankings, won any special league awards, or broken any IWA records. Read stable reviews, player survey results, the latest Commissioner's Champions rankings, and learn about an exciting change to the PBM Hall of Fame induction process. And once this periodical has whet your appetite, sink your teeth into a brand new book from one of your fellow managers who knows his way around a real-life ring!

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

GO GREEN

The current bulletins from all our leagues are now available on our Results page. These PDF files are updated the same day the federation results are posted and include everything the snail mail versions have, with the added bonus that some feature pages in color.

Match results are also available in HTML format from that same page.

If you want us to continue providing results this way, contact Kimberly and tell her you'd like to "go green." We'll stop sending you printed bulletins, which will help keep our prices low, and you'll get the warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from knowing you just helped save the planet. Everyone wins!

 

EMAIL REMINDERS

Keep a copy of every email you send us. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours (not counting Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), resend your message. Kimberly replies to all legitimate email.

Also, make sure to email any matches, strategy changes, etc. at least 24 (and preferably more than 48) hours before your league will be processed.
