FIRST LEAGUE OF ITS KIND (CONFIRMED BY JOHNNY B)

From the mind that brought you the IWL comes the next exciting chapter in the evolution of the character-focused league... THIS PDF tells you where your wrestlers should be calling home in January.

This is your chance to be a part of IWA history. Don't miss it!

 

IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 10/28)

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... wondering if you'll get a Trick or Treat when Gold posts!

"The 216th edition of the IWAR Magazine's cover features the new IWAR World Champion, Senor Lucha, who cashed in his Ladder Match Battle Royal briefcase last December to challenge Double R. Rob Ratliff, and he won! (See the details inside.) Senor Lucha joins Joe Boring, Agent 26, and Sir Gunther Kinderwacht as the only wrestlers to have held both the IWA Championship and the IWAR World Championship. It is well timed, as the sign-ups for the 6th Ladder Match Battle Royal are underway, so if you want to have your wrestlers participate (up to 3 entries per player), let the IWAR Commissioner know ASAP. Senor Lucha also talks about his stable, Cahoots, and how his life has been changed by Tess Stickles (his valet!).

"This issue is a whopper, as it includes the 2024 IWAR Draft Preview and breaks down the entries in this year's field. Learn more about the wrestlers, and remember that there are now seven leagues drafting! The official contest starts in January of 2025, so make sure you read up and then listen up when we hold the results of the IWAR Draft on an IWAR Tubecast episode.

"This issue also has updates to the Fall Events -- Bound for Glory #12, the Tag-team Derby #17, the Triple D Cup Trios Tourney #15, and the 2nd IWAR Games -- but remember, as with all IWAR contests, your wrestler(s), tag-teams, and trios must be active to give us a strategy score to work with or they will be eliminated as inactive! We also have special promos about the ACW and WTL, and the nominations for the 2024 IWAR Achievement Awards are now open, so send yours ASAP! (The link to the nominations form will open in a new browser window. The IWA is not responsible for its content.)

"Join us Tuesday night (October 29th) for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Scott, Aaron, and more as we review the results, IWAR news, Johnny B's IWA Trivia (will there be an IWA 40th special?), 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

YOU'RE INVITED!

The All-Star League will be celebrating its 40th birthday in less than a year, and THIS PDF from the Commissioner explains why you should show up to the party as early as possible!

Here are some highlights: free wrestler creations this year & free transfers until the end of next year; a stellar match deal; up to $50 in IWA credit every cycle; multiple ways to earn free matches & imaginary money; plus lots of other perks. Many of these bonuses are already in effect, so start taking advantage of them today!

 

THE GWL HAS A NEW LOOK!

"Not taking part in the upcoming IWAR Draft but still looking for a change in scenery? Join the rebranded Global Wrestling League! This Gold Federation league is under new management, and the focus will now be on competitive wrestling and character-driven storytelling. It will carve its own path while showcasing what is loved in other leagues in the IWA.

"Enjoy free transfers into the GWL during the Fall and November cycles! Compete for rebranded regional titles and new custom Commissioner titles (singles, tag-team, and my hopes are a women's title in the near future). Earn imaginary money for trash talk, contests, and high-profile matches like the ones to determine our first GWL United Global Champion, GWL United Global Tag-team Champions, and the winner of the 'Grab Your Future' Briefcase. Most GWL Commissioner's Championships will be defended at every pay-per-view.

"Don't delay! Take advantage of free transfers or create new wrestlers, and make your experience a Global one!"

CHECK YOUR SECURITY BLANKET AT THE DOOR

The arena falls silent... The lights dim... and then return to reveal a mysterious figure standing in the center of the ring.

"Are there any managers in the Jade Division capable of winning with just a single wrestler? Or are you all so faint-hearted that you can't even muster the courage to pick a single strategy and emerge victorious? All I see before me are managers who rely on an army of wrestlers, desperately trying to cover every possible angle instead of actually using their brains. I doubt most of you could even grasp the concept of winning in a league that only allows you to field one wrestler.

"Let's be real: many of you wouldn't have the slightest idea how to formulate a strategy in a league like the LWL! If you think you can survive without your pathetic stable initials followed by even more pathetic initials, perhaps the LWL is the place for you to prove your worth -- if you dare.

"But let's face it: most of you are too scared to even try. You'll probably come up with some lame excuse as to why you're not stepping up to the challenge. Sure, there might be a couple of you who actually have the guts to take a shot at it. To those of you who are man enough -- well, at least you can say you tried!"

 

TOTALLY NEW, TOTALLY UNIQUE, AND TOTALLY FUN!

Prepare yourself for the IWA's newest league... TCW, which is also known as Total Championship Wresting! Within this league, we will be creating an atmosphere geared toward wrestling and fun. This league will stand out beyond the other leagues in the IWA.

Things to know:

  • No transfers will be allowed into this league (only new wrestlers will be permitted), so your IWA journey with your character can be established as a TCW original.
  • This league will only feature singles titles (so, that means no tag or six-man titles within this league). These specific titles will be unique EXCLUSIVELY to TCW.
  • The Commissioner will have contests, and will be awarding free matches and imaginary $$$ as we have a tournament to crown the TCW Global Champion. The TCW Global Championship will be defended at every TCW PPV.

Send in your new Bronze Federation wrestlers to Kimberly!

 

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.
