KingBoggs33 Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Global Wrestling Federation Bill Watts: San Antonio, Texas, is the home of the Global Wrestling Federation, and it’s here because this is a fighting town. People here work hard for what they earn, and they know the difference between real effort and somebody trying to fool them. That’s what this company is built on honesty, toughness, and competition. The Global Wrestling Federation will not be run like other wrestling promotions. There are no contracts here. Nobody is guaranteed a job, a spot, or another appearance. You earn your place every time you walk through that curtain. If you impress, you’ll be back. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s that simple. This is not a place to hide. This is not a place to wait for an opportunity. This is a place where you step into the ring and prove you belong, because nobody here is going to carry you. Championships in the Global Wrestling Federation will mean something. We’re not handing out belts because of a name or a reputation. The GWF Heavyweight Championship will be earned the hard way. Our first event will begin with a 20-man Battle Royal. Twenty men will walk into that ring knowing only two of them will survive it. The last two men standing will meet again later that night, one-on-one, in the main event, with the GWF Heavyweight Championship on the line. When that night is over, the first GWF Champion won’t be the loudest man or the most popular man. He’ll be the toughest man in the building. Global Wrestling Federation is about competition. It’s about endurance. It’s about separating the men who belong in this business from the ones who don’t. If you’re tough enough to survive here, step up. If you’re not, you won’t last.
ErictheDragon Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Bill Watts is back and hyping his new territory as only he can.

I found that Google Docs is the easiest way for me to write shows. So if you want the show with the pictures and formatted correctly. It's in the link. Here is the show, just copied and pasted from that same link. I would prefer you to click the link, please, but I understand how some might not want to or be able to. Anyways please enjoy, and I will see you guys next week for episode #2 of GFW Major League Wrestling. Also with this show. I have no contracted talent; everybody is a free agent. GWF Major League Wrestling #1 Dated on 01/07/1991 Location: San Antonio, Texas TV Studio 20 Man Battle Royal Tenryu and Mike Sharpe are the last 2 standing in Battle Royal Alex Pourteau defeats Scott Taylor Brett Como and Lenny St. Clair defeat Bad Crew 1 and 2 Bruiser Bedlam destroys Chris Von Erich Blue Demon Jr defeats Tony Stetson with Larry Winters GWF Heavyweight Championship Special Ring Enforcer: Ernie Ladd Genichiro Tenryu defeats Mike “Iron” Sharpe
kevinmcfl Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Great start! Nice to have you back. Enjoyed the entire night. While you said you were going to run an indy for a few months, this seemed like so more. Can't wait to see what you have next time.
ErictheDragon Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Nothing like a nice, crazy battle royal to welcome the fans. Really enjoyed the back-nd-forth between Johnson & Prichard. Bruiser Bedlam makes a terrifying impression as he dismantles a Von Erich. Tenryu overcomes the earlier assault ot become the first ever GWF World champion. I thought that there might be funny business when I saw Watts and Ladd in the same ring but the Big Cat played it straight.
KingBoggs33 Posted January 13 Author Report Posted January 13 Thanks for the kind words, fellas. I will leave everyone some feedback when I get some free time later tonight. I am going to get some more stuff posted to keep this indy going, and who knows, maybe the GWF will survive, or maybe it's a lost cause and just falls off a cliff. Only time will tell.
KingBoggs33 Posted January 13 Author Report Posted January 13 {The Camera fades in on a news desk. The station logo sits in the corner of the screen. Bill Watts is standing beside Chris Marrou. Watts has his arms crossed, intense as ever.} Chris Marrou: “Fans of professional wrestling in San Antonio, we’re joined today by a man who needs no introduction to Texas wrestling fans, Bill Watts, the owner of the Global Wrestling Federation. Bill, you’ve got a big event coming up this week.” Bill Watts: “That’s right, Chris. This Wednesday night, right here in San Antonio, the Global Wrestling Federation is bringing you the toughest, most physical wrestling you’re going to see anywhere in the world today. If you watched our debut show, you know exactly what we’re about: real men, real fights, and no place to hide.” Bill Watts: “And this Wednesday, we’re raising the stakes. In the main event, making his GWF debut, is an uncontrollable monster from Sudan, Abdullah the Butcher. This is a man who doesn’t care about wins or losses; he cares about pain, and when Abdullah steps into that ring, somebody is going to leave hurt.” Chris Marrou: “That’s… that’s a big statement.” Bill Watts: “It’s not a statement, it’s a warning. If you think what you’ve seen so far in the GWF was intense, you haven’t seen anything yet. This Wednesday night, you’re going to witness something you won’t forget.” Bill Watts: “So I want every wrestling fan in San Antonio to get off the couch and come see this live. Tickets are on sale right now. Call (210) 555-GWF1, that’s (210) 555-4931, and get your seats before they’re gone.” Bill Watts (turns to the anchor, cracks a rare half-smile): “And you know what? You ought to come down too, Chris. I’ll get you front-row seats. But don’t wear a white suit, Abdullah the Butcher doesn’t care much for dry cleaning.” Chris Marrou: “I’ll… I’ll keep that in mind.” Bill Watts: “This Wednesday night, San Antonio. The Global Wrestling Federation. Abdullah the Butcher in the main event. Be there because this is where wrestling gets real.” The camera fades out with this card showing on the screen. GWF Major League Wrestling #2 01/14/1991 San Antonio, Texas TV Studio Main Event Abdullah the Butcher in action GWF Heavyweight Championship Tenryu(c) vs Steve Lombardi Zeus will be in action Larry Winters with Tony Stetson vs Blue Demon Jr Brett Como and Lenny St. Clair vs The Power Twins Bruiser Bedlam vs Duane Gil Bill Watts will address the other championships in the GWF.
LastStopTour Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Welcome back to the fold Have to say as an independent, i am a little disappointed there is really NO local flavor. As a long time Texas resident during this time period, I always look forward to what others bring from the lone star state. My other beef would be with how Chris Von Erich was used. With his small size, asthma and brittle bones, his opponents were handpicked with him going up against Percy Pringle in tag matches. That match probably landed him in in the hospital.
spaldoni Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Welcome back! Watts really knows how to get things moving. Kicking things off with a battle royal. Loved the drama with Sharpe injuring Tenryu before their match for the title. Pourteau brings the scientific wrestling credibility and shines Brett and Lenny get a nice tag team win but Bruce didn't think much of it I will definitely tune in next week just to see Vampire Warrior. Bedlam comes in with a brutal win. He's got some buzz going Looks like the GWF has started its first feud with Stetson and Demon Watts has the title and brings in the Big Cat as special enforcer. The GWF is ready to crown a champ. Tenryu overcomes all the odds and takes down Iron Mike to win the title! Bruce and Craig did a good job calling all the action along with some fun banter Abby will definitely attract fans to their first house show. The GWF is off and running. I hope it sticks around. I'm rooting for you
ErictheDragon Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Get ready San Antonio because the Butcher is coming!
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Making use of the name values is a key component to the success of this promotion and you’ve nailed it!
kevinmcfl Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Can't wait to see Abbie in San Antonio. You did a great job seeling tickets!
KingBoggs33 Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQAmV6C5oljphuiB0BDsOATo7MjcVztEGKgxxg3-HabtbEpDn34F6U3hHPmifmpfVOBFp8EsIttbF2T/pub The Link is how I would like the show to be read, but if, for whatever reason, it doesn't work. Here are the line results. GWF Major League Wrestling #2 01/14/1991 San Antonio, Texas TV Studio Main Event Abdullah the Butcher destroys Hack Myers GWF Heavyweight Championship Tenryu(c) defeats Steve Lombardi Zeus defeats Cheetah Master Blue Demon Jr defeats Larry Winters with Tony Stetson Brett Como and Lenny St. Clair defeat The Power Twins Bruiser Bedlam demolishes Duane Gil
ErictheDragon Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 The link worked for me and I am thankful for it. I didn't actually know who Como or St Clair were so I looked them both up. Honestly surprised the latter is currently Toni Storm's butler. Vampire Warrior & Kabuki. Back together and just as creepy as the first time. Bedlam with another dominant win but his post match actions cost him some money. Boss man Watts gets the crowd back with the announcement of three incoming titles. Zeus has been unleashed but Giant Haystacks may just be the man to rein him in. Larry Winters doesn't fare any better against the Demon than Stetson did. Pourteau however takes the chance to wear his opponent down ahead of next week's clash to become the first ever GWF Light Heavyweight champion. Lombardi did much better than I thought he would but Tenryu still puts him down. He doesn't have time to celebrate however as the Monster Rip Morgan makes his pretense known. Abby's GWF is as chaotic and bloody as we all knew it would be.
kevinmcfl Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 The link worked perfect for me! Awesome indy show with some big gimmicks coming in with Vampire Warrior, Kabuki, Zeus, Giant Haystacks and Abbie! Great use of the free agent list and this show would sell tickets anywhere!
LastStopTour Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 It is a brave thing to do putting Abby on tv.
spaldoni Posted Sunday at 07:31 AM Report Posted Sunday at 07:31 AM The link worked great Como and Lenny are quickly becoming a top team Vampire and Kabuki together again and seem even more scarier this time. Bedlam is brutalizing the competition and it's only a matter of time before he gets a shot at the title They better reenforce the ring when Zeus and Haystacks collide Winters can't catch a break. Alex gets a jump on Blue Demon ahead of their LHW title showdown Tenryu does his talking in the ring. Rip seems more than confident in his quest for a title shot Damn, I wonder how Watts is going to react to Abby It's amazing what you're doing with the free agents.
KingBoggs33 Posted Sunday at 04:17 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 04:17 PM Craig Johnson stands in front of a GWF backdrop as Bill Watts steps into frame, serious and visibly frustrated. Bill Watts: “Craig, I want to address what happened last week involving Abdullah the Butcher. What you saw was real, it was violent, and it crossed a line that some of our local television partners are not comfortable with. I’ve been informed that stations have threatened to pull Global Wrestling Federation off the air if that level of graphic content continues on weekly television.” Bill Watts: “So let me be clear about Abdullah the Butcher, he will no longer compete on GWF weekly television. That decision is about protecting this company, our fans at home, and keeping GWF on the air. But understand me… Abdullah isn’t going anywhere.” Bill Watts: “On Wednesday night, January 30th, live on pay-per-view, there are no television restrictions. No limits. Abdullah the Butcher will be allowed to compete, and his opponent will be any man brave enough to sign on the dotted line and step into the ring with him.” Bill Watts: “If you want chaos, if you want violence, if you want to see who’s got the guts to face one of the most dangerous men in wrestling history, then you buy that PPV. Because on January 30th, Abdullah the Butcher answers to no one.” The camera fades as Watts walks off, leaving the challenge hanging in the air. GWF Major League Wrestling #3 Main Event GWF Light Heavyweight Championship Blue Demon Jr. vs Alex Pourteau Tag Team Match Brett Como and Lenny St. Clair vs New Breed (Chris Champion and Sean Royal) Tag Team Match Barry Hardy and Duane Gil vs The Vampire Warrior and Kabuki Bruiser Bedlam in action Giant Haystacks in action Angel of Death vs Bob Cook Killer Kyle debuts! Rip Morgan is in action
kevinmcfl Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM Report Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM I enjoyed the Bill Watts segment. It was real. I could see local television stations threatening to pull the show becasue of violence. The question is if Abbie's violence is enough to get people to but it on PPV. Maybe...Maybe not but it might be enough to sell extra tickets for the show. If I were in San Anotnio, I would be asking my parents to talk me to the arena to see Abbie and his fork!
ErictheDragon Posted Sunday at 08:00 PM Report Posted Sunday at 08:00 PM Watts with a bold strategy, using Abby as a lure, "Come check out this guy the TV networks don't want me to show you."
KingBoggs33 Posted Wednesday at 07:27 PM Author Report Posted Wednesday at 07:27 PM GWF Major League Wrestling #3 Date on 01/21/1991 Location: San Antonio, Texas TV Studio Announcers: Bruce Prichard and Craig Johnson Main Event GWF Light Heavyweight Championship Alex Pourteau defeats Blue Demon Jr to win the title {Two of the very best light heavyweights in the GWF went to war, and from the opening lock-up, you could feel how much this championship meant to both men. They traded momentum back and forth for nearly 18 full minutes, blending speed, counters, and pure grit, with neither man willing to stay down. Blue Demon Jr. came within inches of victory late in the match, but in a flash, Alex Pourteau turned the tide, snatching Demon out of mid-motion and planting him with a Fisherman Suplex, rolling straight through into a perfect bridge. The referee’s hand hit three, and just like that, history was made in a match many are already calling the best bout of the GWF’s young existence.} Tag Team Match New Breed (Chris Champion and Sean Royal) defeat Brett Como and Lenny St. Clair Both teams came out hungry, knowing the road to becoming the first-ever GWF Tag Team Champions starts with nights like this. The match went a solid 12 minutes, filled with stiff shots, quick tags, and nonstop urgency as neither duo gave an inch. Como and St. Clair showed heart and chemistry, but the experience and edge of The New Breed proved decisive. After cutting the ring in half and isolating their St.Clair, Champion and Royal struck with a Suplex into a Crossbody from Champion on St.Clair, sealing an impressive debut victory. The message was loud and clear. The New Breed has arrived, and the tag division just got a whole lot more dangerous. Tag Team Match The Vampire Warrior and Kabuki defeat Barry Hardy and Duane Gil This match was built entirely around atmosphere and storytelling. The Vampire Warrior and The Great Kabuki systematically dismantle their opponents, offering no mercy and no escape. But the true shock comes after the bell, when Warrior and Kabuki hoist the fallen men onto their shoulders and slowly carry them up the ramp, disappearing into the back in a haunting, unsettling visual that leaves the crowd uneasy and asking one question: What did we witness? Bruiser Bedlam wins Bruiser Bedlam once again proves he’s more monster than man, absolutely destroying a helpless jobber with frightening ease. The beating borders on excessive as Bedlam snarls toward the camera, taking verbal shots at Bill Watts, insisting that no fines, no rules, and no authority can stop him. That’s when the mood shifts — Bill Kazmaier storms down the ramp to a huge reaction, stepping right into Bedlam’s path and issuing a direct challenge. Bruiser doesn’t flinch… he laughs, shakes his head, and walks back up the ramp, leaving Kazmaier standing tall and the crowd buzzing over an inevitable collision. Giant Haystacks defeats Frankie Lancaster Frankie DeFalco tries to use his speed early, darting in with quick strikes, but Giant Haystacks quickly cuts him off with a hard shove and crushing forearms. Haystacks slows the pace, using his size to back DeFalco into the corner and lean on him, wearing him down. DeFalco fires back briefly, but one massive clubbing blow from Haystacks stops him cold. Haystacks traps DeFalco in the corner and charges in with a huge corner splash, crushing him against the turnbuckles and dropping him to the mat. Haystacks hooks the leg and scores the 1…2…3!!! Before Haystacks can even step away, Zeus storms down to the ring, and the two giants immediately come to blows, trading heavy punches in the center of the ring. Security and officials flood the ring, struggling to separate them as the crowd erupts. Haystacks and Zeus continue shouting and shoving, promising an inevitable collision between these two monsters. Angel of Death wins and challenges Abdullah the Butcher! Angel of Death dominates Bob Cook from the opening bell, using his raw power to control every exchange. After a series of punishing strikes and corner assaults, Angel finishes the match with a brutal Sidewalk Slam, dropping Cook flat in the center of the ring for the decisive pinfall. The crowd gasps at the sheer impact, as Cook lies motionless on the mat. Angel grabs a microphone, his voice full of menace, and calls out Abdullah the Butcher, declaring he wants a shot at the uncontrollable legend and will prove he’s the most dangerous man in the GWF. The arena is electric with anticipation, knowing a violent showdown is coming soon. Killer Kyle wins This match is just to debut this mystery man who carries a viola case. Who knows what is in that case? We don't find out, but Kyle is so dangerous and beats the hell out of his opponent. Rip Morgan wins Dominating win when Morgan almost takes the head off a jobber with a Running Big Boot! Morgan plays the crowd and officially challenges Tenryu, who we hear will answer this question next week if Morgan gets a shot at The Boss! OOC: I thought I would post the show this way this week. So a little different than normal, but it got everything that I wanted to get over this week.}
ErictheDragon Posted Wednesday at 11:52 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 11:52 PM Pourteau wins in a clinic to become the inaugural GWF Light Heavyweight Champion. New Breed make a statement in their debut. I don't even wanna know whatVW and Kabuki ave planned for those two. Big Bill Kazmier stand up to Bruiser Bedlam. Haystacks dominates but Zeus immediately strikes. Angel of Death is a dangerous man to be sure, but challenging Abby might be a step too far for even him. Killer Kyle impressed. Morgan sends a message directly to Tenryu.
KingBoggs33 Posted 17 hours ago Author Report Posted 17 hours ago Craig Johnson stands by in the interview area with Bill Watts. Craig Johnson: Bill, there’s been a lot of talk behind the scenes, and tonight you said you had something big to address. What can you tell the fans? Bill Watts: Craig, I’ll get right to it. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been in discussions with Ted Turner and Jim Herd, and I’m proud to say that the Global Wrestling Federation has come to a working agreement with World Championship Wrestling. They saw what the GWF was doing, and they wanted to be a part of growing the wrestling business. Craig Johnson: That’s huge news. What does that mean for GWF television? Bill Watts: It means that starting soon, you’re going to see WCW Superstars appearing right here on GWF television. This gives WCW talent more exposure, and it helps us put more eyes on the GWF product and more people in the seats. See, we don't do contracts in the GWF. Using WCW talent is a no-brainer because they get exposure, and we get the ability to make stars here in the GWF without having to put anyone under contract. Craig Johnson: So this really benefits both sides? Bill Watts: Absolutely. WCW gets a platform to showcase its young and upcoming talent, and the GWF gets the opportunity to bring in young stars that fans will begin to recognize and want to see live. This is about growing wrestling the right way. WCW wins, the GWF wins, and most importantly, the fans win. Craig Johnson: Bill Watts with a major announcement. Fans, keep your eyes on GWF television because things are about to get very interesting. Watts gives a firm nod to the camera as the segment fades out.
