PLAYER RANKINGS WITH CLASS (updated 11/14)

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 overall standings for the entire year thus far, HERE for his rankings that focus solely on the women's titles, HERE for those that only count men's singles gold, HERE for his rankings restricted to the men's tag belts, HERE for the standings based on just the World and U.S. Six-man Championships, and HERE for the men's overall rankings.

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 10/27)

"Gold Tuesday is here, and you know what that means... wondering if this cycle will be a trick or a treat.

"The 250th edition of the IWAR Magazine features the BRL's Hollywood DVS and his newly won Metropolitan Championship. After years of toiling in the IWA's toughest league, the leader of the Dynasty stable has had a breakout year. Just three weeks ago, he won the BRL Championship and the Battle Royal to claim both $25 IWA credit prizes and earn himself a spot in the main event of Battlecade 21's Last Man Standing Steel Cage match. At the top of his game, can DVS outpace the competition and earn the BRL Wrestler of the Year award?

"The IWAR's Fall Events (Bound for Glory, the Tag-team Derby, and the Triple D Cup Trios Tournament) wrap up this cycle, and the ImagiClash 26 results are revealed.

"The 9th Ladder Match Battle Royal sign-up details are out, so join in by November 15th and don't miss out. This issue also rolls out the information on next year's IWAR Spring Events: the Johnny B Cup, the Marano Memorial Tag-team Tournament, and the Catfish/Clark Classic! Check out the details inside this issue. (Note: The fee to join the JBC or the Marano is just $1 per entry!)

"Join us WEDNESDAY night, October 28th, for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt and any of the Creative Team members who can make the show, 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, Garrie, and I -- would like to thank our players for making the IWAR Network 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!

"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.

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."
