!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!WHY DON'T THEY JUST LET ME LIVE!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

HVW died, but all that is old is new again. Like a crazy ex-girlfriend, HVW comes back when you least expect it, wielding a small kitchen knife and demanding that you love her for the rest of eternity.

Huron Valley Wrestling exists as a way for me to escape the stress of my professional life. For those of you who don't know me, I am getting my PhD in sociology with an emphasis on criminology and social psychology at a middle-of-the-road school in the middle of nowhere. Because e-wrestling always worked so well as an escape in the past, I've brought HVW back, for better or worse. The purpose of this fed, then, is threefold: To vent via violent matches, to amuse myself via ridiculous NPCs, and to attempt to bring something new to the game via trying different structural changes to motivate people to work together more frequently and to create some sembelance of legitimate competition/storytelling rather than the typical Sports Entertainment method of storytelling.

For a further explanation on how this fed will run, please refer to the "New New Rules" section.


!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!BROADCASTS!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

-HVW SATURDAY NIGHT
Saturday Night is the show. THE show. Saturday Night has stopped touring, and takes place in a small television studio owned by Comcast Cable in Flat Rock, Michigan. Think of this as the old NWA: World Championship Wrestling on The SuperStation meets Chikara-Pro. Squash matches! Title defenses in squash matches! And all of your roleplays!

-HVW HAPPY HOUR
It's happy hour. Starchat channel #hvw. Two drink minimum, random live matches, all in character. Little if any impact on the storylines at large, but it's still fun. Happy Hour will likely happen without any warning, and again, the purpose of it is pure stupid entertainment (as opposed to the Pynchonian-esque levels of postmodern intellectualism that is Saturday Night. That's a joke.)

-HVW PRESENTS:
Maybe someday we'll have a supercard, or some sort of large scale show. Probably not, though.


!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!TITLES!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

Of the titles from the previous HVW run, the Junior Heavyweight Title and the Submission Title have been retired and permanently sealed. The Heavyweight title has been stripped from Juan Vasquez, and two new titles have been created.

- HVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
The number one title in the company. Since there is no longer a weight-class, anyone can compete for this title. The Heavyweight champion will compete on every show in some form.

- HVW TELEVISION TITLE
Tradition states that the Television champion defends his title on every show. That's all we can say.

- HVW WHISKEY AND CIGARETTES TITLE
No disqualification, no countout, come as you are.

!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!THE NEW NEW RULES!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

OUT OF CHARACTER

1. Be active
2. Have an open mind
3. Don't be an idiot




1. Be active: The most important things in HVW are activity and an open mind. Feds that claim to weigh the importance of roleplays and angles differently are lying, and I am not going to try and convince you that if your RP for every show with a lousy character you'll get over (whatever that means), or if you design ridiculously complex and boring angles that you'll get over. If you design a cool character, and play him well, you'll have fun and do well. This applies 1000x to anyone who wants to play a manager. I expect a much greater amount of work from managers, because that system drives the game.

With that in mind, if you are active and unhappy with the amount of matches you are receiving, you have permission to write your own squash matches and I will include them in the show.

2. Have an open mind: HVW is all about going with the flow -- if you can do that, and interact with other handlers, you're going to have fun. Remember, a lot of the fun I get out of this is throwing random monkeywrenches into the fed -- banning moves, drafts, the Hat of Consequence (reread Saturday Night #1-#10 for details). If you can keep an open mind and just have fun without putting any importance on titles or anything like that, you'll have fun. Championships should be more important for your character than they are for you personally.

3. Don't be an idiot: This ties into #2. If you're involved with e-wrestling because your self esteem hinges on the success of your fantasy wrestling character, HVW is not for you. How you do in HVW is not, in any way, a judgement on your character. If you cannot seperate fantasy from reality, go join a big fed that is concerned with awards and rankings and all of that. HVW also requires a high amount of interaction with other handlers, and so if you can't play well with others -- be it picking fights, or not walking away from fights -- you have no business in HVW. I have zero tolerance for any kind of conflict.




IN CHARACTER

1. The Manager System
2. The Hat of Consequence
3. Special Features
4. Community Theater




1. The Manager System: HVW is driven by its stable/manager system. Depending on the size of the roster, managers are hired and stable sizes are predetermined, and then a draft is held wherein each manager gets to build his stable drawing from the existing roster -- or from talent they themselves recruit from outside the fed. Periodically, managers will be given the opportunity (read: forced) to cut some their dead weight, at which point a supplemental draft is held. Wrestlers entering the fed after the draft can sign with any stable that is willing to take them. If no stable wants you, you are out of luck.

The official power of managers:
- Hiring new talent
- Trading contracts with other stables
- Firing talent (firings can only occur with permission of the President)

2. The Hat of Consequence: The Hat of Consequence is always going to be in the background of HVW. Filled with 30 "consequences", a manager will be chosen to draw from the hat every episode of Saturday Night and has NO CHOICE but to act accordingly. In some cases, the drawing will hurt them or their stable -- for example, they may have to put one of their charges into a First Blood match. In other cases, the drawing will be positive, such as a Heavyweight title match for one of their wrestlers. Of course, it's HVW -- so some of the consequences could be completely ridiculous, like "Teach theoretical physics to the Dragon Dojo". A manager not willing to take the risk of the Hat of Consequence will be given the option of putting one of their guys into a match against anyone from any other stable, the provision being that the loser of the match has to join the winner's stable.

3. Special Features: The special features thread on our subforum at JTF has become an excellent supplementary source for HVW. The Special Features thread provides managers and wrestlers alike the opportunity to gain more exposure via posting interviews as well as rumors about yourself -- or stir up some trouble by posting rumors about other wrestlers!

4. Community Theater: A mainstay of HVW and GLCW has been its satirical work. By joining HVW, you implicitly give us permission to cast you or a reasonable facsimilie in any number of holiday specials and movie parodies, airing on Flat Rock Public Access Television. Similar to HVW Happy Hour, our Community Theater is more of a side-project and will not have any great impact on the fed.


!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!THE PEOPLE!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

- IN CHARACTER

THE GREMLIN - Owner, in spite of whatever you read in USA Today over the summer. Banned from the studio, due to a number of restraining orders, one of which has been filed by:

JEFF STEWART - The Big Cheese. The Head Honcho. King in the castle, King in the castle.

STU STEWART - Jeff's older brother, his lawyer, and the man who is serving as The Gremlin's surrogate. Stu is in constant communication with The Gremlin during HVW broadcasts, and has a small camera wired to him so The Gremlin can see everything as it happens. Yes, I ripped off this joke from Arrested Development, but I can do what I want.

JAMES JAY PRESTON - The color commentator, Preston is a dick. What else matters?

MIKE CALHOUN - The play by play announcer. Calhoun is a former GLCW wrestler, commissioner, and announcer. With the career ending injury of Roger Barak at Saturday Night #11, Calhoun stepped up to take his place and has since been hired as the new full-time play by play announcer.

MO WASHINGTON - Ring announcer. Had a brief stint as the GLCW ring announcer until the company's last revival, when he was replaced.

ERIK COVENANT - Former GFWA tag-team champion turned broadcast journalist. Covenant is the man in the HVW Damage Control Center. Has mellowed out a great deal since his wrestling days, growing out of his old "punk" attitude, thanks in part to career-ending back surgery. Still passionate about the business, it is Covenant's job in the Damage Control Center to keep the fans watching at home or on the internet up to date with all of the goings on in HVW.

President - Andj

Managers - It could be you!


!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!GET INVOLVED!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!

Get involved with HVW! Our forum at JTF is very active, and I often post news, interviews, and rumors there that do not go out to the rest of the mailing list. These special features aren't just limited to me- if you're handling in the fed or just a fan, you're more than welcome to post a rumor of your own, review a card, or conduct your own interview with any character in the fed (with the cooperation of the handler, of course).
