URGENT: THESE ARE NOT THE MAY CYCLE HOLD VALUES!

Click here to hide/show details

As we have always stated, the hold values for all six federations are determined before a cycle begins. They are then handwritten on a page for our data entry team so they can be entered into the system that processes the matches. The page also contains the previous cycle's hold values as an additional error-checking feature. Kim normally prints a copy of the top-secret numbers and delivers it to the team, but on this particular occasion, she accidentally emailed the values to a player instead. We regret the error and hope you'll forgive this post-Cinco de Mayo transgression. (Yes, the hold values are written out and must be entered into our antiquated system manually, just as with your matches and strategies. That revelation probably surprises no one.)

So that every manager has access to the inside information, THIS PDF contains the values that were leaked. They are not being used, although note that some holds may retain the values of the leaked versions -- in other words, the exact combinations of values are not being used. Please make your fellow players aware of this unfortunate situation.

Again, we're very sorry this occurred, and have enacted measures to ensure the mistake is not repeated.

IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 5/13)

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... hitting that Refresh button harder than Jayson Tatum hit the court in last night's game!

"The cover of the 225th edition of the IWAR Magazine features the Commissioner of the Rolling Thunder League, who has used his position to override referee's decisions, insert his son into title matches, and he may have even supplied a new jumbo jet to a politician in order to get TV deals done -- all this after his son, Michael, Jr., came out the winner of the Thunder Cup despite an earlier elimination! The RTL fans rallied behind the unpredictable, unhoused hero Vagabond, who rode their cheers to the top, but now Michael, Sr. has signed Greg E. Money to a huge contract with bonuses that kick in if he can take out Vagabond! Chief Moose Crossfox has put out a call to young stars to help turn the tide, but can they stop the Corrupt Commish?

"The IWAR Spring Events are almost over, and the deadline to join the IWAR Summer Events -- the Summer Series, King of the Ring, and Lethal Lottery Tag Tourney -- is May 25th. (Details on how to join ARE IN THIS ISSUE!) The Elite Trios Invitational has been filled, but there is time to get involved with the IWAR Super Show.

"Join us TOMORROW NIGHT (5/14) 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, and Johnny B's IWA Trivia (featuring Johnny B himself filling us in on behind-the-scenes IWA stuff, 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. 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 me -- 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!

THE SINCEREST FORM OF BATTERY

The Pro Wrestling Imitated network of IWA leagues has just expanded, and now spans across four federations! Compete in exclusive pay-per-views throughout the year, and see if you have what it takes to become the PWI Universal Champion! The next scheduled PPV is a "Money in the Bank" event which takes place this summer, so you still have time to get involved. Read the details in THIS PDF, then brace yourself for all the excitement headed your way!

 

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!

 

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.
