Round One 10 Minute Time Limit Lisa Foster vs Arlo Rosabel First to come out is the newest member of the NJFC regular roster team, Lisa Foster, an unknown who was trialed in the Dojo of Dragons and passed the trial to make it into the big leagues. Yet to have a professional match, this will be her debut and you can tell by the look on her face that she's excited for it. She slaps a couple of hands on her way to the ring before rolling herself in and going over to her designated corner. Representing Alianza Campeonato Mexicano of the Championship Wrestling Coalition is Arlo Rosabel. He comes out to a warm reception, considering the majority of the fans probably haven't heard of him, it's one to be proud of. It could be his Azteca Championship that's drawing the attention of the fans, the belt buckled around he rolls himself into the ring and lifts the title above his head. The referee explains the rules to both individuals, reminding them of the ten minute time limit and if you fail to reach the limit, then it'll go down to point system decided by three judges who sit next to the commentary team. The camera pans to the commentary table, James Peterson, and two other members of the committee sit on the judging table, and applause rings through the arena as the judges get to their feet and wave to everyone in the arena. Now everything has been explained, the referee signals for the bell to be rung. The bell rings and the two competitors immediately begin to circle the ring. The arena quickly falls to silence as they approach each other. They engage in a collar to elbow tie up with Lisa pushing Arlo back into the padded corner. Arlo grabs onto the ropes either side of him and the referee begins the count with Lisa letting go of him gradually before a gentle pat on the chest and walking backwards. They engage for another, with Lisa once again coming out on top and slapping him into a side headlock, making good work of him as she takes him down to the canvas with a takeover. Arlo wraps his legs around her and she's forced to kip out of it. They race to their feet with Arlo springing back to life, deep Japanese arm drags forcing Lisa back down to the canvas. He performs another shortly afterward. He goes for a third but she blocks it, a strike to the head forces him to stumble back a little. She heads to the ropes, bouncing off of them and looking for a discus fist. He counters with an impressive spinning heel kick that knocks Lisa down and she's rolling to the outside. Applause for Arlo as he stands in the middle of the ring, a smile planted on his face. He looks to the outside before looking back at the ropes. He then decides to go for it, bouncing off of the ropes and now running toward Lisa on the outside but before he gets there Lisa moves out the way, knowing what move is coming, she avoids it. Arlo then rolls to the outside and follows her. Lisa rolls back into the ring and Arlo jumps onto the apron. She clobbers him with an elbow to the face, repeated, before lifting him up off of the apron and slamming him into the ring with a suplex, a cover following afterward but Arlo kicks out. She then quickly locks him in a Texas cloverleaf to the surprise of everyone in the arena. Arlo struggles to get to the ropes, reaching out for them but not getting any nearer. But does he quit? No. He struggles, and struggles and struggles, and the fans see this, and get behind him. "ARLO!" - "ARLO!" - "ARLO!" They didn't even know who he was coming into this match, but now they're gunning for him, wanting him to get to the ropes. He listens to their chants and it gets to him, he gets to the ropes and the fans break out in applause. He uses the ropes to help himself up onto his feet before being turned around by Lisa. She connects with a series of strikes that forces Arlo down to a knee. She takes off to the ropes, coming back and looking to complete the sequence with a lariat. But he slides underneath her arm, wrapping his arms around her waist and dropping her with a quick German suplex. She rolls back up onto her feet, seemingly unaffected and the fans are impressed. She runs at him, another lariat attempt but he ducks underneath once again... REVERSE RANA! She recoils, back up to her feet, looking like she's going to fall but before she can: SUPERKICK! REPLAY BOARD Spit flies out of her mouth. Gasps echo from the crowd. Arlo doesn't waste no time though. He doesn't even go for the pin. He picks her up and uses the ropes for assistance. The fans don't know what's coming next but for those familiar with Arlo they know what this is. He then finishes her with a spike piledriver assisted by the ropes before covering her for the one, the two and the three to score the first win of the tournament and book himself into the second round of the tournament. Winner: Arlo Rosabel in 06:21 Scores:Arlo Rosabel with a 5.0Lisa Foster with a 2.5

Konrad Raab vs Takashi Shinobu They'd already met in the ring this year and now they're back at it again for another one. Konrad Raab may have only just made his switch to become a junior heavyweight but he's adapted well, not just in New Japan but also in other places. He comes out to a warm reception from the fans, clapping a few hands on his way to the ring before climbing up the ring steps and entering, immediately going over to his designated corner. Shinobu is out next and he comes out to a better reception. But there's something different about Shinobu. He wears an all black attire, black tights and boots with a vest and some fingerless gloves too. He slowly makes his way to the ring, sliding in and sitting down cross leg in the center, staring at Raab and the audience don't know how to react. He gets to his feet and goes over to his corner where he leans back against the padded corner and takes off his vest, throwing it to the fans. The bell rings and Shinobu doesn't move despite Raab beginning to approach him. Raab gets to him and asks what he's doing. Shinobu shrugs his shoulders before pushing Raab backwards. The fans gasp in shock. Shinobu then greets him with a barrel of strike that connect one after the other in quick succession and Raab falls to his knee. Shinobu then takes off to the ropes and hits him with a Shining Wizard! A quick and fierce start from the graduate of the Dojo who doesn't even bother to pin him, he mounts on top of him and lands several crisp strikes to the head of Raab. Finally, he gets off of him and soaks in the jeers from the crowd. He loves it, an obvious change in attitude now being displayed and he doesn't care for the fans lack of support. He begins to stomp on Raab who backs away to the corner. He lifts him up and straightens him before an Irish whip to the opposite corner. He then runs at him but Raab counters with an elbow to the face. Shinobu staggers back a little... but then comes back with another attempt to strike him but another elbow from Raab. Shinobu stumbles towards the center of the ring and Raab takes off toward him, Shinobu is quick to get him down to the canvas with a drop toe hold transitioned into a side headlock. Applause ring through the arena, despite his change of attitude, there's also been a change in his approach to things that is a lot more technical than before and the fans can appreciate that. But he does well to get the heat back on but rubbing his fist against the head of Raab, boo's from the crowd follow. Raab fights his way back up to his feet, looking to drop him with a backdrop suplex but Shinobu lands on his feet. He then delivers a back spin kick to the mid section of Raab before heading to the ropes, springboard onto the second and turning himself round for a hurricanrana! But Raab keeps him wrapped around his shoulders, elevates him up before a powerbomb into the corner. A pin follows but only a two. An amazing display of power and determination from Raab gets the fans on his side. He gets to his feet and brings Shinobu back up with him. Delivering a series of power moves on Shinobu and finishes the sequences with an impressive diving senton splash from the top rope. He looks to hook the legs of Shinobu but he's rolled to the outside of the ring. Shinobu clutches onto his stomach and kicks the guard railing. He's infuriated. Although you can't tell what by. He then walks over to the committee table and he looks at James Peterson. He points at him and shakes his head. The referee asks Shinobu to get back into the ring but Shinobu looks at the official and sticks up his middle finger. He then looks at Peterson and a middle finger to him is raised too. He then turns and makes his way to the back as the referee continues a count. Raab stands in the middle of the ring, not really sure what's going on and the referee continues to count to twenty, and no response from Shinobu. Raab is declared the winner of the match through the means of count out disqualification. Winner: Konrad Raab in 7:57Scores:Konrad Raab with a 5.0Takashi Shinobu with a 2.0

Craig Anderson vs Jason Hunter Both Competitors walk to the center of the ring and initiate a handshake before walking back into their respective corners, waiting for the bell to start the match. Craig and Jason begin circling the ring in a feeling out process with Hunter reaching his right hand out. Anderson obliges, sticking his right hand out as well and interlocking his fingers with his opponent's. Both superstars then begin reaching out with their other hand, interlocking their fingers, commencing the test of strength. Albeit, this is one of the rare times that Craig Anderson has both height and weight on his opponent but the natural strength of Hunter is enough to send the biscuit-loving Englishman down to the canvas, holding him there as the referee slides in to make the count. ONE!Craig manages to power his right shoulder up, leaving Jason to push his hand right back down to the canvas which prompts the official to start the count again. ONE! TW...Craig powers up once more, this time with his left arm but Hunter forces left arm down, leaving the official to start the count yet again. ONE! TWO!And Anderson rises up with a bridge! Jason yells out before leaping onto Craig, driving his knees into the hips of Anderson in an attempt to break the bridge but Craig's impressive lower body strength doesn't give in. This causes Hunter to get off of his opponent only to leap higher in the air, sending his knees deeper into Anderson's hips but Craig does not waver to the amazement of the crowd. The 'Prince of Wrestling' leaps off of his opponent, but Anderson isn't too far behind as he leaps up to his feet as well, driving his feet into the gut of Hunter and flipping him halfway across the ring with a huge monkey flip. Both competitors kip up to their feet before locking eyes once more, charging at each other for what looks to be another lock up. Hunter ducks Craig's lockup attempt and bolts towards the ropes, rebounding off as he jumps up in the air for a sunset flip powerbomb. Anderson connects with a heel to Jason's forehead just before the referee starts to make the count, rolling out of the pinning predicament and nailing Hunter with a front basement dropkick to the face before quickly popping up to his feet to another series of claps from the crowd. Craig yells out "love me some standing shooting star presses" as he walks over to his prone opponent before leaping up for a picturesque standing shooting star press. Anderson pushes off of Hunter, standing back up as he smiles, leaping in the air once more for a standing corkscrew shooting star press. Craig hooks the leg and makes the cover, only getting a two count. Both wrestlers rise up to a vertical base, Jason backing up into a nearby corner while Anderson dusts himself off before running with a full head of steam at his opponent. Hunter catches Craig, sending him throat first into the top rope with a stun gun as he's whipped around for a Prince Spike spinebuster that does just that, spike The 'Aircraftman' back-first into the canvas. Jason makes the cover, hooking both legs but Craig somehow kicks out at 2! Jason slaps the ground with frustration before rising up to a vertical base as he stands by, waiting for his opponent to gather himself. Anderson reels up to his hands and knees, only to get hit upside the head with a running knee lift that sends him rolling under the middle rope and outside of the ring. Hunter hits the ropes, gaining enough momentum to jump over the top rope for a suicide dive attempt. Craig sees this and gets out of the way just in the nick of time, leaving Jason land back-first onto the mat over on the outside. Anderson rolls into the ring and wastes no time hitting the ropes as Hunter slowly makes his way to his feet outside, turning around only to get hit with a top rope springboard Bee's Knees meteora. Craig uses the apron to lift himself up to his feet before slowly lifting Jason up to his feet. An Irish whip attempt to the steel barricade is backfired when Hunter leaps onto the steel rail and jumps off for a clothesline that flattens Anderson on the outside. Jason then quickly enters and exits the ring, breaking up the twenty count as he lifts Craig up and rolls him into the ring. Hunter then begins his climb, ascending up to the top rope for his patented Hunter's Score Phoenix Splash... but Anderson just gets his knees up in time! Kipping up to his feet, Craig heads over to the corner and starts to slowly climb up to the top rope himself. Jason Hunter makes his way up to his feet and hurries up to the corner as the two start slugging it out up top. Hunter nails Anderson with a gut punch, giving him the opportunity to go for his Hunter Awaken top rope jumping cutter. Jason leaps up, but Craig shoves him away, leaving him to crash to the canvas back-first. Anderson rises up to his feet on the top turnbuckle, flying off for his Viennese Whirl corkscrew shooting star press that completely connects. Craig hooks the leg! The official slides in for the cover! ONE! TWO! THREE!Winner: Craig Anderson in 9:14Scores:Craig Anderson with a 5.0Jason Hunter with a 4.0

Owen Gonsalves vs Kendrick Kross After the official signaled for the opening bell, both Owen Gonsalves and Kendrick Kross met in the middle of the ring and secured a collar and elbow tie up. After jockeying for position, Kendrick Kross, the larger of the two forced Owen Gonsalves into the corner. The official stepped in and separated the two men and Kendrick Kross backed away cleanly. They circled and tried their luck again, this time Gonsalves used a leg sweep to trip up Kross and transitioned into wrist lock. From his back, Kross countered by shooting his legs up and trapping Owen with a head scissors. Owen quickly bridged, spun his body and popped his head out as he rose to his feet. With both competitors to their feet, they tried their luck at a greco roman knuckle lock. After interlocking one hand, Owen quickly twisted his opponents arm, stepped over, and transitioned into a cravate headlock as he kept Kendrick’s arm trapped between his legs. Kendrick Kross spun out of it, dropped down to one leg, swept Owen down by his heel and secured a toehold while Owen was on his back. Kross stepped over, looking to torque Owen’s knee, but Gonsalves used the opening to take him down with a drop toehold and quickly floated over into a front facelock. Kross pushes up to his knees, places his hands on Owen’s hips and lifts him over his head with a northern lights suplex. Both men get back to there feet and Kross immediately stuns Owen with a stiff forearm shot. Owen shakes it off and counters with a European uppercut. The two exchange stiff strikes, much to the live audiences delight, until Gonsalves gets the upper hand. He grabs Kross by the wrist and whips him towards the ropes. Kross rebounds and is tossed to the mat with an arm drag takedown. Both rise to their feet and Gonsalves connects with a second arm drag takedown, this time trapping Kross’s arm. Gonsalves works the arm until he is able to bend Kross’s arm backwards and stomps down on his pointed elbow! Kross twists and gets to his knees. Gonsalves grabs him by the wrist with both hands, pulls him up to his feet and starts working a Jim Breaks Special. Kross works his way towards the ropes and hooks his free arm to force a break. Owen backs up and then charges towards Kross. Kross grabs the top rope and pulls it down, forcing Owen to tumble over. Gonsalves lands on the apron and as he rises, Kross hits him in the gut with a knee and then drags him through between the middle and top rope with a front facelock. Kross plants Owen with rope hung DDT. A pin attempt leads to a two count from the official. After the pin attempt, Owen rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope. Kross lines up across the ring and charges towards him. Owen instinctively moves out of the way and Kross slides under the bottom rope. Owen rushes him and tries for a clothesline but Kross ducks. Kross hits Owens with mule kick in the stomach as he spin around and follows it with a Pele kick! Kross climbs up onto the apron and looks over his shoulder lining up a picture perfect Asai moonsault! Before the official got close to counting the two competitors out, Kross lifted Owen up and rolled him into the ring. As Gonsalves laid parallel with the ropes, Kross launched himself over the top rope and drove his elbow into Owen’s sternum with a slingshot elbow drop which lead to another two count. The two competitors then showed off their extensive knowledge of suplexes. Kross utilizing a fisherman, a belly to belly, and a tiger suplex which led to a another two count. But Owen showed his own, starting with a capture suplex that followed a failed lariat and then a bridging snap dragon suplex that he calls Paroxysm that led to the closest fall of the night. Owen marched to the other side of the ring and signaled for Kross to stand. As Kross tried to rise to his feet, Owen charged and connected with a bone jarring Soul-Stealing Seven Star Strike (running bicycle knee). As Kross’s body fell limp, Owen dropped down onto him and once again got a two count out of the official. Kross used the ropes to help himself up to his feet and Owen charged from behind. Sensing his opponent coming, sidestepped and sent Gonsalves chest first into the ropes. Owen stumbles backwards and gets flattened with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Kross watches as Owen tries to push up to his feet, but while on all fours, Kross runs and drives him face first into the canvas with a curb stomp. Kross wastes no time and ascends to the top rope, leaping off and connecting with a Symbol K (Phoenix Splash) that leads to the three count! Winner: Kendrick Kross in 8:46Scores: Kendrick Kross with a 5.0Owen Gonsalves with a 3.5

Joseph White vs Michael Kelly [R]evolution Television Champion vs Sixth City Pro Champion. Joseph White is known in Japan as a member of the coveted Dogs of War and has been making his name known for the last couple of months in the industry. He comes out the back with his Dogs of War tee as well as Chris Constantine by his side. The two get a pretty good ovation from the crowd who are obvious marks for the Dogs of War despite their "fuck you" attitude. White gets a huge pop when he unbuckles his title from his waist and hoists it above his head with an arrogant smirk cemented on his face. Michael Kelly comes out next and also gets a warm reception from the crowd. The undefeated Sixth City Pro and SAP superstar has his championship belt draped on his shoulder. He smiles, nodding his head in appreciation at the reception he's getting. He shares a glance with Constantine, a glance of respect almost before sliding into the ring and jumping up onto the ropes, lifting the title above his head too. They show off their championship belts, shoving it into one another's face with the referee having to get between them. The bell rings and both men begin to circle. White catches Michael off guard with a sliding tackle, a low dropkick to the legs, and Kelly falls face first onto the canvas. White mounts on top of him befor eplacing him in a headlock. Tightening the hold as he brings him back up onto his feet and clobbers him with a couple of strikes connecting with his forehead. Michael pushes him backwards onto the ropes and looks to swing him off but White falls to a knee and keeps the hold intact, refusing to go so easily. He shakes his head sideways, a smile on his face as he tightens the hold once again. Kelly brings him back to the ropes and attempts to swing him off again but White puts on the breaks, keeps the hold intact and drops to a knee, tightening the hold. Kelly winces a little but is able to make it back to his feet once again. Bringing him to the ropes and this time he manages to swing him off with White bouncing off of the ropes, shoulder barge - but Kelly stays on his feet. White looks surprised. White then heads to the ropes again and tries for another shoulder barge but Kelly barely moves backwards. Kelly then insists that he tries again and that infuriates White, but he takes off to the ropes for a third time, bouncing back and Kelly drops him to the canvas with a shoulder barge. He mounts on top of him for the quick cover but to no avail. White then scurries out of the ring in a hurry and has a talk with Constantine on the outside. Constantine pats him on the shoulder, whispering something in his ear and White nods his head, a smile on his face before rolling himself back into the ring. The two go around the ring in a circle and White insist that the two battle it out in a test of strength, extending his hand. Kelly nods his head and the two men extend both hands out to one another and connect, knuckle lock, with both men jockeying in position as they try to find their bearing. White then knees him in the mid section before a snapmare to a seated position, he goes for a kick to the chest but Kelly falls back onto the canvas to avoid the blow before rolling him from behind, White pops up and Kelly goes for the superkick but White is quick to stagger back and cling onto the ropes. Kelly runs at him and White counters with a headbutt. There's a pause. Both men stagger a little and lean onto each other. Kelly then grabs White and replies with a headbutt of his own. It's sickening to watch as White then replies with one of his own, and the two go back and forth exchanging headbutts. It comes to a stop after Kelly connects with several elbows to the neck of White that forces him down. He then knees him in the face a couple of times before taking off to the ropes. He comes back and to his surprise, White has recovered, White grabs onto him and delivers a belly to belly suplex! Kelly lands on the canvas hard and arches his back. White goes over to him for the pin but only gets the two count. He then gets up and begins to stomp on the right knee of Kelly repeatedly. He then brings him back up to his feet and leans him against the padded corner. Three uppercuts follow before a series of stiff forearm strikes that sends Kelly down to the canvas, his head leaning against the padded corner. White then heads towards the opposite corner and prepares himself. Kelly slowly makes it back up to his feet, clinging onto the ropes for support. White runs to him, looking for his Going for Gold signature but Kelly moves out of the way just in time. White is now in the corner and Kelly turns around and begins a series of shoot kicks. The fans chant every time Kelly connects with a kick and after his tenth, he runs to the ropes - White stumbles out of the corner. "LARRRRIATTOOOOOOO!" REPLAY BOARD It's Kelly who connects with a lariat that has White flipping inside out. Kelly then mounts him and hooks the legs but White is able to kick out! Kelly signals the end and gets to his feet. He picks White up too and lifts him up into a vertical suplex position, White fights his way out of it and slides down behind. He then manages to hit a brainbuster on Kelly before hooking the legs for the pin. But no, Kelly kicks out too! They race to their feet and both men knock each other down with a clothesline. DING DING DING! The time limit has been reached for the first time in the first round. Constantine rolls into the ring and helps White to his feet. Kelly gets to his feet and both men look at the judging panel on the outside who are deliberating. Peterson then gets to his feet and announces that both men have scored a 4.5 and will be taken the places of the Renja/Storm & Crown/DiBona whilst Jason Hunter will go onto face Ryan Henderson or Samantha Tolson. Winner: Time Limit Draw with 10 minutes

Ryan Henderson vs Samantha Tolson A handshake is shared between the two babyfaces as the match begins almost instantly with a Japanese Arm drag by Tolson that sends Henderson side-first into the canvas. Ryan quickly pops up to his feet and sends Tolson down with a Japanese arm drag of his own, but Tolson quickly pops up to her feet, pulls him in and tosses him with an over the head belly to belly suplex. As she goes over to capitalize on a downed Henderson, he pops up to his feet and nails her in the chest with a single leg dropkick near the ropes before hitting a drop toe hold that hangs her head on the middle rope. Ryan runs in for a tiger feint kid but Samantha swats his feet away, hopping up to her feet and nailing Henderson in the face with a stiff thrust kick that forces him to spill atop the apron.Tolson steps through the ropes and lifts Henderson up for a standing suplex, but Ryan wiggles out, falling over to the side and into the ring. Just before Samantha can follow her opponent, Ryan catches her upside the head with a roundhouse kick that nearly forces her to fall over to the outside, but Henderson catches her and pulls her through the middle rope for a rope hung spike DDT. Ryan drags her body into the ring, hitting the ropes as he comes back with a roll up, pops up and... HUGE leaping lariat by Tolson flips Henderson inside out in the center of the ring! Sam goes for the cover, hooking the leg and getting a two count. Sam gets back on the offensive, laying into Ryan's midsection with stiff kicks as he slowly rises to his feet, grimacing with each solid shot nailing his lower extremities, forcing him back to his knees in the center of the ring. Sam charges in with a forearm, but Henderson rolls under it, popping back up as he hits the ropes, springboarding off of the middle rope for a beautiful spinning European uppercut that drops Tolson down like a sack of bricks. Ryan makes the cover, but Sam gets the shoulder up just before two, prompting him to rise up to his feet. Taking a few steps back, Henderson rolls forward, popping up in the air with a frog splash but eats nothing but canvas as Tolson rolls out of the way. Awaiting a groggy Ryan, Tolson charges in with a nasty sliding forearm, quickly standing up and lifting Henderson up for a snap dragon suplex with a bridge, but Ryan finds some way to kick out just before the three count. Lifting him up to his feet, Sam tries to whip Henderson towards the ropes but he reverses her, sending her rebounding off of the ropes as she comes in with another stiff lariat that Ryan manages to duck under, bolting towards the ropes himself. As 'Mr. Fly High' comes running at Tolson, she jumps at him with a thrust kick that nearly knocks the wind out of him. Looking for an axe kick, Henderson gets out of harm's way, kipping up as he lifts Samantha up into a fireman's carry position, looking for his Fatality kick, but Tolson manages to wiggle out of what looked to be the end, taking Ryan's back in the process. Tolson goes for a back suplex, but the self proclaimed 'King Of Flight' flips out of it, landing on his feet as he catches Samantha by surprise with his Back suplex lungblower that he likes to call "Final Eclipse. With Tolson out in the center of the ring, Ryan hooks the leg and manages to get a three count. Winner: Ryan Henderson in 6.26Scores: Ryan Henderson with a 5.0Samantha Tolson with a 3.0

Round Two 20 Minute Time Limit A. Arlo Rosabel vs Craig Anderson B. Konrad Raab vs Joseph White C. Michael Kelly vs Kendrick Kross D. Jason Hunter vs Ryan Henderson
The E-Fedding world can be pretty petty sometimes. People trying to "politic" to get a better position within the fed. Fed owners trying to steal people away from other feds. Over inflated egos. Fed Heads playing favorites for themselves and their friends. It can be pretty stressful. Trust me, I know. Hey there. Most of you know me. For those that don't, my name is Tj.I took this over from Josh, who began the PWP a few years ago. If you don't really know much about me, I've been in E-Fedding since late 1999(!) and I've run a couple of feds here and there. I used to primarily run Tj Jones, and I currently handle Fujiko Mine. And after a few shows, I wanted to give running PWP a try once again. I want this to be a place completely free of stress, drama and all that stuff that potentially comes with most E-Feds. And I wanted a place that I could create where everyone is treated equal. I wanted to create a place where people could get exposed to other feds and vice versa. I wanted to make a place where you have the chance to RP against people that you normally never would. Basically, I want to create a true indy feeling fed, where from month to month, you never really know what you're going to get because there's going to be so many different unique competitors and matches from various E-Feds from all over. How am I going to accomplish that you ask? Well, I've implemented several rules and guidelines. First thing is establishing affiliates. What I did was reach out to several friends from E-Feds that I had kept in touch with over the years to see if they wanted to get involved in this idea I had. And what's in it for them, for helping me out, is that in return I will promote and allow them to promote their fed on here, so to help get them more exposure and expose their fed to people who may not otherwise wouldn't know it exists. The only thing that E-Feds that want to be affiliated with the PWP have to do is in some way, shape or form, have the PWP advertised on their site and they will be listed as an affiliate here and will be promoted. The fed head doesn't have to compete or anything like that. Even if none of their handlers sign up here, I will still promote them as an affiliate. Now, what exactly is the rest of my plan to help make this place different? What do I have in store to hopefully have this come to fruition like I want and carry out the vision that I have? Here's how: - For beginners, much like your typical indy fed in real life, there is only one show a month. People will have about a week and a half to two weeks to RP for their matches because I don't want to take the focus away from their main fed(s) that they are in. That will leave me with about a week and a half to two weeks to write the show (I will be writing it by myself, as one of the biggest stress factors for me in my previous fed was having to rely on others to help.) And there will be a 1 RP max per match, so as to ensure that you don't have to worry about someone blasting you with multiple ones, while you only have time for 1 because of your primary fed(s) and life. - It's going to be more wrestling/action driven, as opposed to storylines/angles. There will be little to no storylines, with the emphasis on great wrestling action. Your typical indy fed leaves the focus on great match ups and presenting encounters that people are excited to see. They don't worry about the extra stuff, like a WWE or TNA. There may be small rivalries and storylines here and there. That is all up to the handlers. If they want to create a feud/storyline to play out in PWP, that is fine. As long as it's realistic, they have full control on what they do to build/play out that feud. But it is up to them to set it up and play it out. I can help out if asked but it is the responsibility of those that want to do it. That also means there is no requirement for anyone to have to write extra RPs for character/storyline development and nobody will have to write segments for the shows, unless like I stated, you want to for storyline/feud purposes. - Other than show(s) that you've signed up for, you have no obligation to continue with the PWP. So if you sign up to compete on a show and you decide you don't want to do it, you never have to again. You don't even have to tell me that you don't want to wrestle again. You can just sail off into the sunset without a word or warning because other than the shows that you sign up for (there will be a monthly sign up sheet) you have ZERO obligation to the PWP. If you want to be booked on a PWP show, all you have to do is either let me know in some way or sign up in the sign up sheet on the forums. - Each handler can only run ONE character per show. BUT you do NOT have to use that character each month. Say that you use Character A for one show and you want to compete on the next show but don't want to use that character. You can use Character B if you'd like. You can use a different character every time that you compete, if that's what you want to do. And the reason that you can do that is because of going back to the "little to no storylines" thing. Since there's no real storylines, you won't have to worry about interrupting anything if you don't want to compete or if you want to compete with a different character. You do not need to make different accounts for all the different characters you run, either. You can use the account that you signed up with. Or you can make separate ones. It's all up to you. The only type of obligation that you will have to the PWP, as a roleplayer, is for the show that you sign up to compete on. And that's it. Also, there will be no taken picbases. With so many different handlers/characters being in the equation, I don't want it to be a problem. If someone uses a picbase that someone else uses, then so be it. There will also be no official roster for the PWP since everyone is on a month to month basis. There will be a spot where there are bios posted for everyone but no official roster. - There will only be one title. And that will be the PWP Heavyweight Title. Just know that the only way that you will be eligible to compete for the title is if you use a character that you wouldn't mind having compete each month, since generally, unless of unavoidable reasons, the champion will defend each month. There MIGHT be a Tag Team Title re-introduced sometime in the future but that all depends if there are any/enough interest in those. - If you want to request a specific match, you can! As long as the person(s) involved are down for it, I will make any and all matches that you wish to happen, happen, to the best of my ability. If anyone out there reading this, has any friends that run an E-Fed or any fed heads have any affiliates, feel free to spread the word of this place. The more people involved, the better. Just have the owner of the fed(s) that are interested get in touch with me. That's how I'm hoping to make this thing bigger, is by word of mouth. Thanks for reading and checking us out!

Arlo Rosabel vs Craig Anderson The bell rings and the two shake hands in the middle of the ring before things get under way. There's a buzz of excitement in the arena as the two men begin to circle the ring. They lunge forward for a collar to elbow but Craig is quick to lock him into a side headlock. Arlo then reverses this by grabbing his arm and wrenching it round before yanking it down. Craig then rolls forwards, and back - kips up, reversing the move and now has Arlo in a hammerlock submission. Arlo spins quickly and locks him in a hammerlock. Craig then walks towards the ropes, springing onto the second ropes and flipping himself backwards, breaking the hold and finding himself in behind Arlo, wrapping his arms around his waist, lifting him up and slamming him face down to the canvas before swiveling his body round and keeping him there - mounting onto his back. He brings him back up to his feet and leans him against the ropes. An Irish whip is reversed by Arlo and Anderson bounces off of the ropes, a lariat attempt by Arlo but Craig limbo's under it. Arlo turns around and Craig lifts his finger up to the air and sways it from left to right, as if to say there was no chance of him hitting that lariat. Arlo smirks and goes for another lariat. Craig once again limbo's underneath and does the same motion afterward. A third attempt by Arlo and once again Craig limbo's under and he goes for a lariat of his own but Arlo ducks, turns him around and greets him with a spin kick to the mid section. Craig doubles over and clutches onto his mid section in pain. Arlo then takes off to the ropes but Craig follows after him. He connects with an elbow after he bounces off of the ropes. Craig then runs to the opposite set and this time it's Arlo who stalks him. Craig hits the ropes and Arlo is quick to reply with an elbow in reply. Arlo turns, runs to the ropes, bounces off of them and a boot to the face connects from Craig. Arlo stumbles backwards into the ropes, coming off of them and replies with a kick to the face of his own. The two men stagger in position for a while, before engaging in an all out brawl of strikes that are sent in all directions, hard hitting puroresu wrestling on full display here! A super-kick attempt but Craig is caught by Arlo, who swings his leg toward the referee, who instinctively catches it. Before Craig can do anything, Arlo hits him with a super-kick of his own that knocks the spit out of the mouth of Craig. Craig rolls to the outside and Arlo then prepares himself. He runs from one corner to another, springing onto the top rope before launching himself backwards with a moonsault, landing on top of Craig on the outside! REPLAY BOARD A massive pop ensues afterward and Arlo gets to his feet and embraces the cheers, nodding his head in appreciation. He then grabs Craig and rolls him back into the ring. Leaping onto the apron. Craig is quick to try and strike him, but Arlo hits him with a forearm that has him stumbling backwards. Arlo then preps himself, springboard onto the top rope but Craig drop kicks his legs and Arlo hits the ropes hard before falling onto the canvas and back onto the outside. Craig then looks to the outside before looking to the ropes. He's looking to go airborne! He then takes off, bouncing off of the rope but now see's Arlo running past him. He puts on his breaks and watches him pass. Arlo bounces off of the ropes, hurricanrana attempt - Anderson cartwheels onto his feet to stay up. Arlo then front drop kicks Craig and he tumbles hard into the padded corner. Arlo then runs at him and connects with a running European uppercut before completing the sequence with a swinging neckbreaker, a pin attempt only comes to a two. He brings Craig up and has him by the corner. He then places him up onto the top rope before joining him on the second. He looks for a superplex but Craig does well to fight him off with jabs to the mid section. Arlo eases up his grip of him. But then he delivers strikes of his own to keep Craig up on the top rope. He then lifts him up and over, SUPERPLEX! And he rolls it into a driver! A pin attempt only comes to a two and a massive gasp of disbelief from the crowd follow. Arlo buries his head in his hands but he knows that he's still got a lot in his locker. Craig is on his knees. Arlo connects with one strike to the chest. And another. And a third! He goes for the fourth but Craig catches his leg. He shakes his head sideways, swinging his boot around and turning him around too in the process, before hitting him with his signature "Kicks Out For Harambe" SUPERKICK! Arlo falls onto the canvas and lands hard whilst Craig races up to the top rope. He positions himself... “Viennese Whirl” - a Corkscrew shooting star press - connects! He covers for the one, and the two, and a three for an impressive win and a place in the next round of the tournament! Winner: Craig Anderson in 18:50

Konrad Raab vs Joseph White As the bell rings, Konrad and White walk to the center of the ring with Raab extending his hand to his opponent. Joseph takes a step back and kicks his hand away, prompting Raab to nod as the two begin to circle the ring. The younger White sends his veteran opponent down with a drop toehold before rolling over and wrapping his wrists up, keeping them in place with a well-aimed knee that pressures them down onto his lower back. From there, Joseph begins chopping at the side of Konrad's neck, wrapping his hands around his face for a crossface as he cranks back on his neck. Raab tries to squirm his way out of the hold but White just releases his grip and continues the onslaught of chops on the side of his neck, forcing him to roll over and push Joseph across the ring with his feet. White slowly starts to make his way over and is caught off guard by an arm drag by Konrad who then lifts the Scotsman up and whips him to the ropes, quickly following him as he hops onto Joseph with a Lou Thesz press, punching him upside the head with a handful of lefts that connect cleanly upside the head of the 'Gold Standard'. Raab isn't done there as he then wraps his arms around White's midsection and deadlifts him up in the air for what looks like a belly to belly but an eye poke stops that fairly quickly, forcing Konrad to release his hold on Joseph and backpedal to the ropes. The Gold Standard takes a few steps back before charging at the fifty-one-year-old with a White Lightning Knee strike but Raab gets out of harm's way, wraps his arms around the waist of a rebounding Joseph White and sends him flying with a german suplex release. Konrad climbs up to the middle rope and jumps off for a senton splash, landing his full body weight on White's gut. Going for the cover, Raab hooks the leg but Joseph kicks out at two. The 'Iceman' now back on the offensive, working on White's lower extremities, landing short elbow drops and a series of knee drops to his calf and ankle in an attempt to soften his opponent up. The German sensation then rises up and grabs at his ankle, turning Joseph around and torquing his ankle to the side. He's got it locked in! The Ice Lock is in! Will White tap!? Joseph rises up and begins clawing his way to the bottom rope, but what's this!? Konrad shakes his head and pulls White all the way back to the center of the ring! Joseph has nowhere to go! Just as it looks like White is about to give in, he pushes off of the canvas and rolls back, shooting Raab towards the ropes. As he rebounds off, the veteran is hit with a second White Lightning attempt. This one landing clean against his jaw, dropping him down like a sack of bricks. White limps over to Raab's body, pulls him away for the ropes and makes the cover. The referee slides in to make the count, his hand hitting the canvas three times. Winner: Joseph White in 13:45

Michael Kelly vs Kendrick Kross Both men come out the blocks with the obvious intention of winning, but quickly and early as they engage in a series of quick roll ups and small packages, that see's near falls land for both men. It's the quickness in exchange that catches the audience off guard, as they go from one pin attempt to another in quick succession. Kendrick Kross manages to ground Kelly, using his mixed martial arts background to his advantage and mounting on top of him, trying to get in some strikes but Kelly gets his arms up nice and quickly and is able to block everything that comes in his direction. Kross doesn't bother anymore and brings Kelly to his feet, leaning him against the padded corner before a forward clinch and following this with knee's to the head of Kelly, forcing his head down and proceeding to knee him repeatedly. He let's go of him after four knee's connect and holds his hands up. Kelly flicks his hair as he lifts his head and there's blood beginning to sliver down from his eyebrow. He touches it and smiles before looking at Kross. He then pushes him backwards and connects with a strike over the head. Kross goes for one in reply but Kelly side steps, another strike. Kross goes for another one again but Kelly is too quick, a jab to the jaw is followed by a stunning forearm strike with his opposite arm. He covers but Kross kicks out. Kross rolls to the outside to recover and Kelly follows. Kross leans against the railing, looking to recovering and Kelly grabs him by the neck, bringing him back and looking to launch him into it. Kross puts his foot on the railing to stop himself from going into them. He then grabs Kelly and slams his head on the top of the railing. Kelly stumbles backwards and leans against the apron. Kross runs towards him but Kelly lifts him up and slams him onto the edge of the apron with a suplex! Kross arches his back in pain, shaking his head sideways. Kelly then lifts him up onto the apron before trying to get up on it with him. Kross kicks him though and Kelly stumbles backwards. Kross then performs a senton off of the apron and onto Kelly on the outside! Grabbing him, he rolls him back into the ring but doesn't get the pinfall. Kross nods his head and positions himself. Kelly gradually rises, a perfect position for Kross who runs over to him and looks for the curb stomp, Kelly pops up with a stiff lariat that sends Kross flipping inside out! Kelly then feeds off of the energy of the crowd and heads to the corner. He grabs onto the rope with one hand and uses his other to wave an imaginary gun before pointing it at Kross. He runs at him - Date With Desti-Knee connects! (Single Leg High Running Knee) He covers for the one, the two, and the three! Winner: Michael Kelly in 12:24

Jason Hunter vs Ryan Henderson The two start with a collar and elbow tie-up with Jason getting the immediate strength advantage as he transitions into a headlock. Henderson then tries for a back suplex, lifting Hunter up but the 'Prince of Wrestling does a full rotation flip out of it, slamming Ryan on the back of his neck with a back suplex of his own. Jason jumps back on the offensive, mounting Henderson with a flurry of savage-like close handed punches, raining down lefts and rights aimed his opponent's face, but 'The Natural' raises his arms up to guard his face. Ryan grabs on to a nearby bottom rope, forcing the official to split the two apart, leaving Hunter to shove the referee out of the way. Jason continues piling on punches, rising to his feet and then delivering stomps until the official splits them once more, this time, threatening to disqualify Hunter. This gives Ryan enough time to reel up to his feet as he stands on the apron and waits for the opportunity to strike. Just as the ref moves out of the way, Henderson leaps off of the top rope, springboarding only to eat a superkick that connects square on his jaw, completely laying him out. Jason makes the cover but Ryan kicks out at two! Hunter makes his way to his feet and punts Henderson in the ribs before quickly lifting him up and whipping him into a nearby corner as hard as he can the force snapping his head back against the turnbuckle. Jason runs up and gets nailed in the forehead with a lifted kick by that knocks him back a few steps, giving the Cleveland native an opportunity that he can't miss as he leaps onto the middle rope and jumps off for a clean blockbuster that sends both wrestlers back-first to the canvas. A quick cover leads to a one count as Ryan gets up to his feet, and hits the ropes before rolling and popping up into a spinebuster by Hunter. Jason drags Henderson's body near the corner before slowly ascending the top rope but Ryan does a quick kip up and chases his opponent up to the top. Before Hunter can make a move, Henderson wraps him up, flipping off of the top rope with a Spanish fly that wipes both parties completely out. Now making their way to a vertical base, Jason runs at Ryan with a knee lift that gets slapped away as Henderson just quickly lifts Hunter up in a reverse fireman's carry position, dropping him down to his feet before going for the kill! Fatality! The 540 kick lands on the back of Jason's neck as he collapses, leaving Henderson to crawl over and drape his arm over his downed opponent. The official slides in and makes the three count! Henderson is headed to the next round! Winner: Ryan Henderson in 11:46

Craig Anderson vs Michael Kelly Both men receive a warm reception on their way out to the ring. The two friends shake hands before the bell rings. They exchange words from across the ring, both smiling as they approach the center of the ring. They continue to exchange words with Anderson seemingly saying something that gets on the nerves of Kelly, who pushes him down to the canvas. Kelly then shrugs his shoulders and then holds his arms up, walking around the ring as Anderson gets back to his feet. Anderson then runs towards him and connects with a bicycle kick that sends Kelly stumbling back into the padded corner. Anderson runs towards him but Kelly dodges him. Anderson connects with the corner as Kelly runs towards the ropes. Anderson gets back to the center of the ring and rolls under the arm of Kelly before flipping himself backwards and wrapping his legs around the head of Kelly, a quick rana sends Kelly down to the canvas. Kelly gets to his feet and so does Anderson, who then delivers a drop kick to Kelly. The Sixth City Pro Champion rolls to the outside and Anderson slingshots onto the apron. He then runs across it and towards Kelly, a shooting star off of the apron and onto the standing Michael Kelly. Anderson embraces the cheers but only for a moment or so. He brings Kelly back up onto his feet and delivers several crisp uppercuts. Kelly counters, a quick combination of strikes; kick to the thigh, jab to the jaw and a stiff forearm sends Anderson spiraling back to the railing. Kelly then runs towards him but Anderson lifts him up and over the railing, into the fans Kelly goes, Anderson then steps back and delivers a superkick that has Kelly falling back into the fans in the front row, who catch him. Anderson then grabs him and brings him back to ringside, rolling him back into the ring and following afterward. Anderson picks him up and drops him with a one arm swinging neckbreaker. He then positions himself and checks his shoulder. He runs to the ropes and handsprings onto the the ropes, unaware that Kelly is back up on his feet and is there as soon as his back hits the ropes, he grabs him by the waist, holds him there - before dropping him with a German suplex, bridging into a pin but a kickout. Applause rings through the arena in appreciation of the efforts of both men thus far. Kelly begins to work on the left elbow of Anderson, bending it into an awkward position before stomping on it. He brings him back up onto his feet and performs a hammerlock suplex, further damaging the elbow of Anderson, who holds onto it after hitting the canvas hard. Kelly then mounts on top of him and locks him in a hammerlock from the ground and with his free hand, he jabs Anderson in his side repeatedly, a gruesome image and the fans cringe in disgust. But it's tactical. Kelly has a gameplan and from the looks of it, it's working. Anderson struggles, reaching for the ropes but nowhere near them. Kelly then covers him but to no prevail. He brings him up, Irish whip to the ropes, Anderson comes off of the ropes and is met with a stiff lariat. Kelly then kicks him in the mid section as Anderson is on his hands and knees. He brings him back up and Anderson begins to fight back with jabs to the mid section. He then surprises everyone with his "Arse Over Tits" out of nowhere, a handspring head scissors takedown! Both men are back up on their feet and Kelly ducks under his strike attempt, rolls him up from behind - lets go - Anderson pops up, SUPERKICK! Kelly covers him... but no, Anderson kicks out! Kelly runs his fingers through his hair and then looks at the top rope. He looks around the arena and everyone is encouraging him to do it! They're encouraging him to make the climb. He smirks before walking towards the corner. He gets up on the top rope... and turns himself round! He checks his shoulders to make sure that Anderson is still down... and he is! He then proceeds to flip off of the top rope with a moonsault! Anderson rolls out of the way! KELLY LANDS ON HIS FEET BEFORE DELIVERING A MOONSAULT IMMEDIATELY AFTER ON ANDERSON! He hooks the legs! BUT NO, ANDERSON WITH THE KICKOUT! The electricity in the arena is through the roof and Kelly prepares himself in the corner of the ring, waiting for Anderson to make it back up onto his feet. Anderson is slow and groggy but eventually he does. Kelly runs towards him in full speed, leaping up as he looks down his single running knee - BUT "KICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!", it connects out of nowhere! Anderson then falls on top of the body of Kelly! ONE, TWO! - NO! Kelly's shoulder bursts up and the fans are in disbelief after that colossal superkick. Anderson then looks at the top rope himself and signals the end. He slingshots his way onto the top rope and positions himself. HE COMES FLYING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR - BUT NO ONES THERE! ANDERSON LANDS HARD ON THE CANVAS AND CLUTCHES ONTO HIS STOMACH! Kelly is quick to get to his feet and he brings Anderson up too! He then lifts him up into a suplex position... Anderson slides down his back to avoid the desti-knee! He turns him around, a quick combination of strikes that culminates with a spinning heel kick. Anderson then follows this up with a standing shooting star press! He then looks back up at the top rope and points towards it! He slingshots his way back up and positions himself... he flies off, corkscrew shooting star press - CONNECTS! He hooks the legs for the one... the two... and the three! The bell rings and Craig Anderson has made it into tomorrow's final. He's on his knees and he looks up at the heavens, streamers coming from both corners of the ring. He can't believe it! The fans cheer and applaud him. Kelly then gets to his knees and the two men share a glance. Anderson helps him up onto his feet but Kelly looks like he doesn't want any part of it. Kelly looks like he's going to leave the ring but he stops. He turns and looks at his victorious friend. He then goes toward him and grabs his arm, lifting it high into the air in victory and more streamers pour into the ring! Winner: Craig Anderson in 18:49
