IWA (12/17) "2025 marked the 40th Anniversary of IWA. It was celebrated throughout the year with multiple cycles of Bottom 20s and 30s becoming Bottom 40s at no additional cost to the players. "It was an incredible year with incredible events including Stablecade which was won by AOD. Then, there was State Wrestling which saw a whopping 445 competitors battle it out with powerhouse SHL's Duchess Talon taking home the biggest prize of the event to manager Dennis Mooney. 2025 also marked the return of the ever popular Specialty Championships. Finally, came Imagimania and its top entrant 'Tailor Made' John Whiddon of ACW managed by Corey Workman. "Some of the game's best had incredible years in their own right... most notably, Tommy Zulu was the biggest point getter (by a lot) among all of the game's managers. He was followed by Frank J. Belcher III, Derek Tuttle, Jake Duvall and Solomon Shaw, and Brad Norman. All of whom did exceptionally well. The top stables for the year were SOS followed by EDGE... meanwhile, CURE and COT also performed quite strongly. "Now, for the first time ever, IWA will feature a special Year End Report that will put a nice little bow on their 40th Anniversary year. It will also serve the practical purpose of aligning future IWA Reports with the cycle that produced the results being reported. Another win for the players. "Sadly, 2025 also saw the loss of a great player in Robert J. Ratliff... just about a year after losing one of his closest friends, another great player, Timothy L. Clark. I'd like to have a moment of silence for two of the finest in the game." ... "So, with 2026 nearly upon us, here is some stuff you should all be aware of..." 2026 IWA Cycle Schedule 2026 League Milestones "Other than that, just the usual, long-circulating, unfounded rumors... Million Dollar Championship... People's Champion, etc. All in all, another super fun year for the IWA and its players with another on the way in 2026. You know I love it... so Merry Christmas and best of luck in the New Year!" -- Calvin Russel |
CALVIN'S CORNER -- IMAGINARY WRESTLING ASSOCIATION

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... refreshing the screen until Gold drops! "In our 235th issue, we pause to remember one of the IWA's biggest stars, Catfish Rob. Inside, you'll find some of the artwork he sent to the IWA to make the game more fun, a list of his wrestlers across the IWA (and Hall of Fame), as well as some pictures of Rob over the years, including one of him holding his beloved dog, Sassy. You'll also learn about the The Catfish/Clark Classic, an event the IWAR Network will be running to honor both Rob and one of his best friends, Tim Clark, whom we lost last year. If you would like to read Rob's obituary online, this link will take you there. Last week, Alex G. held a special IWAR Tubecast to remember our friend Rob, and if you'd like to check it out, the link is here. I would invite you to go through the IWA and check out every league, as I am sure that many of them will honor Catfish Rob in their own way. Rest in peace, good buddy. "We STILL need to hear from you, so submit your nominations for the 2025 IWAR Awards here! Your submissions will help to recognize the best wrestlers and moments from 2025, but it will also make our job of recapping it all that much easier! Note: we have only had 17 players send in nominations, so please take a moment to help us recognize those most deserving. "The 8th Ladder Match Battle Royal will be held this cycle, and is run as a special Battle Royal. The results will be revealed in January, but remember that this year's LMBR will have two winners who will each get a LMBR briefcase and split the entry pool! "We have opened sign-ups for the IWAR Spring Events, so you can get in on the action for the Johnny B Cup, the Marano Memorial Tag-team Tournament, and The Catfish/Clark Classic. They will be starting in January, so you want to sign up ASAP. Don't delay; email us today! "Join us TONIGHT (12/9) for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Scott, Jimmy, and many more, as we review the results, IWAR news, and Johnny B's IWA Trivia (featuring Johnny B himself offering behind-the-scenes IWA secrets, factoids, and other random fun), respond to unfiltered feedback from our players in the live chat window, and add in the usual nonsense and gibberish. It was a good run of 98 episodes, but we pulled the plug on the IWAR Gold Strategy Workshop with strategy expert Mike Cook as a result of the chaotic results in the past six months. That said, we are not leaving players in the dark, as we have created the IWAR Cheat Sheet, and if you want to get a copy of it before the next cycle, drop me a line. Our shows about How to Win in the IWA and the Multi-man Special are still available. "The IWAR Creative Team -- Mike, Derek, Scott, Jeremy, Aaron, Alex, Patrick, Ryan, Tom, Dan, Derek (no, the other one), Rob, Darren, Jimmy, and I -- would like to thank our players for making the IWAR the best place to play in the IWA."

IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 12/8)

XWA (12/04) "The XWA... better known as X Wrestling... finally launched with its inaugural event. Owner and CEO McKayla Quinn started things off with several announcements including their forthcoming live weekly broadcast, ULTIMATE X as well as World X titles to come and their first pay-per-view event X Rumble Royale on December 7. We were also introduced to several members of management and staff including X Wrestling's very own enforcer, X Khan. "A lot of big names are on the roster including the legendary Mike Drake, CURE/CTI's Atticus Black, Malakai King, Chris Hero and others, a personal favorite of mine, Kaos Knight heading up a new faction known as BURN, the COT was also well represented by Ace, the Maquinas and more, SOS/WAI brought in some good looking young talent including 'Perfect' Paul Frost and Caspian Ledger. There were also a few independents on the roster in 'American Nightmare' Kyle Rhodes, 'Bad to the Bone' Marowak Black and 'Hard Luck' Jackie Devlin. "Rounding out the league was a new cabal known as Misthios... and they were pretty dominant with Matthias Xenakis taking home the Champion X title, Nicolai Jarrah winning the X Battle Royal as well as TV-X Six-Man with Phoenix Alastor and Markos Spyridon plus 3 regional titles to boot. "The Brotherhood Unified to Rule Nations (BURN) showed up with strong words from several members including Brock the Pulverizer and the Brick City Brawler. They will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in X Wrestling... and you've been put on Notice of that. "Then there was the leader of Misthios... her name is Kassandra Tzavaras. She basically took credit for everything X. She expects her boys to rule XWA... and bring home $20,000 of X Khan's money. Finally, we were treated to Marowak Black's version of 'Bad to the Bone' to wrap up a very impressive debut. "Can't deny it looks like big things ahead for XWA... uhhh... I mean X Wrestling." -- Calvin Russel |

LSL (11/27) "Aces Wild is in the books with 4 major title changes. Kreese took home the GFORCE title, King Randor is now the World TV Champion, Killer Karl Kowalski defeated Taz for the Gatorbait title and Connecticut Yankee is now your World Diamond Drop Champion. Also, Man-at-Arms outlasted 5 opponents to take home the Gift of the Swamp. "Becky Boobie conducted several interviews getting the latest gossip around the Swamp. She reports that Sandman Horatio Sanderson is not done with Rick Dare even going so far as to threaten his life. Killer Karl Kowalski branded Grave Dust a cheat and questioned his intestinal fortitude. "We also saw the LSL debut of Julie Fontaine looking to become brother Eric's Louisiana Swamp legacy. She says it's her turn to shine. Then, the King Cobra spoke about fighting for what you want in life. Kreese credits this philosophy with earning his GFORCE title back... and he's willing to take on Cactus Jake or anyone else that wants it. "In a most unusual moment, the Duchaine brothers came out wearing fur coats. First, they ripped on Ricky Kyle for his choice of shampoo. Then, I thought they were going to come to blows as Paul put Maurice in his place for talking about his personal life, but Grave Dust managed to calm things down. "Back in the locker room, Grave Dust had his own message to impart... to King Achilles. He compared himself favorably to the world renowned Goldust. He spoke of destiny... and storms of sand. He nearly blinded the camera man before declaring the Era of Dust was about to begin. "All in all, just another day in the swamp." -- Calvin Russel |

SHL (11/20) "Let me begin by saying... no other league can match SHL magazine's presentation. It's just super! Not to mention SHL is an absolute juggernaut of a league! "If I'm allowed one complaint... it would be that there's not a lot of wrestlers cutting promos. With all those flamboyant heroes and villains, I expected more of a spotlight on some of them. Super powers are great, but I'm sure the fans would like to know their personalities as well. A few of the better intros came from such heroes as the Green Lanterns... Hal Jordan, Alan Scott, and Guy Gardner. Gotta give it to Soloman Grundy on his entrance as well. "I really enjoyed the clip they played on the Jumbotron of Magneto confronting Galactus. That was pretty cool." -- Calvin Russel |

RTL (11/14) "So much happening in, arguably, the best league in the IWAR network. Let's begin with the debut of the brobdingnagian Tytanic. Big things are expected from this man, and he got the ball rolling by taking the Pacific Northwest title from Layne Shaddix. "Jerry Ringer interviewed The Masked Militia who everyone seems to think are actually Garrie Morris and Brian Clothier. Personally, I think they're the hottest new tag-team in RTL, and they're looking to make a name for themselves. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Terror Commission's Mr. Boujee threatened to send his collection of Kaiju after half the league. Of course, with all the gold they have, half the league is undoubtedly after them. "A ticked off Papacito sought out Commissioner Mike Martin Sr. to make his feelings known about being left off the Unnatural Disaster card. With Josue at his side, he made claims of discrimination before storming off. In other news, Double D Christoph, repping the Bullseye Syndicate, seemed to be pleased with the drafted and impressed with the level of competition. He then let SOS, DOD, and NMI know that they are in their crosshairs. He also promised that this was just the beginning of what they will bring to RTL. "RTL just keeps on rolling." -- Calvin Russel |

GAL (11/7) "Pandora's Box... This thing is going to be epic! Rainbow Rika Roberts versus Wildfire Betty Redd... are you kidding me? The return of GAL's OG, Blackjack Betty taking on Wildheart Margaux Nizhoni... that one's going to be insane! MDL star Scarlet Briar steps in the ring with Awilda Kleinsteiner... and 'Shadow Mare' Takoda Reznik battles it out with PDL's resident lunatic, Crazy Jenny Starr. And that's just the beginning. "In a star-studded 4 Corners Tag-Team match... we got Angelina Blanco & Lady K from the PDL, GAL's very own Sky & Sunny Rose, as well as the Deadly Divas, Eva Nescence & Sophie O'Sullivan, and finally, the IWAR Women's Tag-Team Champions, Brenda 'Bring Da' Payne & Golden Girl Gina Colada from BWL. Absolute mayhem, no doubt about it. "A special Survivor Series Showdown pits Team GAL consisting of Carrisa Owens, Tany Roja, Angelina Romanov, Lynda Prince & Lisa Lamborghini against the uber-stacked Team BWL with Veruca Sault, Aria Gunpowder, Mother Dee, Rachel Van Dorn & Rachel Yamazaki. Can't wait to see this one! "What else could they possibly do? How about a special Pandora's Box match? We're talking Belle James, Destyni Sanchez-Leon, Sara Stone, Nakita Wu, Cori Chaos, Alexa Winters, Jane Redd, Shayna Douglas, Ms. Maude, Trixie McGee, Bianca Punk, Roxanne Gutierrez, Amelia King, Selene Bloodrose, Nookie the Secret Weapon, Heaven O'Connor, Fallon Luna, Amy Jo Krasavina and anyone else with the guts to jump into that brouhaha! "Pandora's Box will be one for the ages." -- Calvin Russel |

BBW (10/30) "Big match coming up in BBW... five superstars, falls count anywhere, and a shot at the Queen of Hardcore is on the line. Mistress Death, Eclypse, Gemma Gunsmoke, Lady Swine and Lady Wildcat Warrior will provide the carnage, and I'm sure Masked Matriarch will be enjoying every minute of it. "The Royal Family of Doom had a lot to celebrate following major victories. Most notably, Samantha Kane winning the Mae Young Invitational... and they're promising bigger and better to come. Of course, Olivia Oblivion bragged on her recent victory over Miss Kane, so there you go. Also, the Island Warriors were wondering where the Russians had gone. I was wondering that myself. "Blackjack Betty played a creepy card game. First, she laid it all out for the 3 faces of Death... Lady, Mistress and Sister. For the RFD, her comments were pointed directly at Eclypse as she questioned her hardcore credentials. Finally, a clip was played of GAL's Margaux Nizhoni challenging Betty to a match at the Pandora's Box pay-per-view. Wildheart vs Blackjack... I know she won't back down from that. "As usual, the women of Blood Bath are far more interesting than their BBL counterparts." -- Calvin Russel |

A brand new league is coming to the Diamond Federation... X Wrestling is for everyone who loves pro wrestling... but, in a recent press release, management warns that you need to be "the best of the best... at every level... singles, tag-team, six-man... stables... all styles of wrestling welcome... and, of course, blind referees! If you haven't got what it takes to be ELITE, any way you need to do it... don't show up. If you do, you'd better have that X factor!"

Learning the ropes in a game where those ropes are imaginary can be confusing. Back in 2018, an unofficial How to Win in the IWA video was published to help. Now, a mere seven years later, IWA Strategy Expert Mike Cook and IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley have streamlined the video to get players started down the path to higher scores. Good luck!
