The next UFWL Draft Pick: Ivory

Many people remember Ivory as the three time WWE Women's Champion, but her history goes back a lot further. In fact it goes all the way back to G.L.O.W. where she was a champion and a tag team champion. Many of us wrestling old timers remember watching GLOW as young men and really enjoying not only the females, but the wrestling skills on display.

Without a doubt Ivory is one of the best women technical wrestlers that has ever entered the squared circle. She had a number of pushes with the WWE, including a run with Right to Censor, and of course her career was ruined by the disastrous Invasion storyline. She would go on to be a trainer on Tough Enough 2.

We bring Ivory to the UFWL to be a legit threat for teh UFWL Women's title, and to compete as a heel against the likes of Lita and Chyna.

The next UFWL draft pick Edge and Christian

For the benefit of those with flash photography, the next UFWL Draft pick is the tag team of Edge and Christian. They were a dominant tag team of the WWE attitude era, and given teh current state of affairs in the UFWL we needed to draft not only a strong tag team, but a tag team where each guy could carry his own in the singles divisions.

Without a doubt Edge and Christian were one of the finest tag team combinations of the 21st century. They held teh WWE Tag Titles 7 different times, and both Edge and Christian have gone on to much success apart from one another.

Without a doubt one of my favorite promos this duo ever cut was playing other wrestlers entrance songs on their kazoos, it was just hysterical and I always found them far more entertaining than any of the DX angles even though they were essentially doing the kind of routine.

The UFWL will use them as a tag team first, but since our new commish has laid down the law on several changes to our roster we may also use them as singles competitors.

UFWL names new commish

Ted Dibase, the Million Dollar man, has not only bought into the UFWL but he will now be serving as its new commissioner. Navy, our former commissioner, has been moved to the head of talent relations after a few legal issues and a confrontation with a particular TNA executive with very white hair.

Since the UFWL President, AJ Sager, is a total and complete jackass, Ted had to come in and save the company from a financial shortfall and get a wrestling guy in charge of the wrestling operations. Of course with a new owner and commish we now have to announce more changes.

The first being is that Raven has been released from his UFWL contract. Ted Dibase wants the structure of the UFWL to be as follows: five wrestlers in the Super Heavyweight division. These five men will also be eligible to compete for the UFWL World Title. The World Title division will have 10 men as will the North American division. Randy Savage, DDP, and Rob Van Damn have all been added to the NA division. The Tag division will feature five teams, and the cruiser weight and women's division will also feature five wrestlers each.

Ted will now control the wrestling side of the business, with Navy taking care of the talent, and talent acquisition. The search continues for a head fro the creative team. Although several interviews have yielded a number of qualified candidates.

A message from the UFWL President

Hello UFWL fans, my name is AJ Sager and I am the President of the UFWL. I have booked this time to put a hold on our Commissioner plans. The UFWL will not have eight divisions with 10 wrestlers each. Our market research shows that wrestling fans no longer care about Hardcore wrestling so we are axing that division all together. Some of that talent will be drafted into either the North American Division or the TV title division.

We also will only draft five wrestlers for each division. This is due to a shortfall in UFWL cash reserves and we will launch of league with a roster of 35-45 wrestlers competing in six divisions plus a tag team division.

Let me also put a stop to our Commissioner’s plan to have stable have a member in each division. The UFWL will allow a total of four stables to be formed, and we will be dropping the requirement that each stable have a wrestler in each division. Stables may be formed of at least four members and those four members can be from any division.

Furthermore the UFWL will be bringing in managers for certain wrestlers and divisions, and we will be hiring valets. These valets will be known as UFWL Dolls, and their only job will be to escort people to the ring.

One last thing, I and the Board of Governors at the UFWL grow increasingly concerned about the feud between our Commissioner, Navy, and a man from another wrestling promotion. Let us call him Eric. We will be keeping an eye on this situation.

Thanks to all the UFWL fans out there

18th UFWL draft pick: Stone Cold Steve Austin

The 18th UFWL draft pick is the toughest SOB around, none other that Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold was the reason the WWF was able to overtake the WCW in the famed Monday Night Wars, and the UFWL needs him to come in and be the main eventer he turned into while at the WWF.

Sure he was once a part of the Hollywood Blondes with Brian Pillman, sure he was a forgettable Ringmaster and second holder of the Million Dollar belt, but once Ted Dibase left the WWF Steve Austin became Stone Cold and a lot of his trademark sayings and phrases were his own creation.

The UFWL needs a guy like that not only to legitimize out World title division but help our creative team find new gimmicks and catch phrases to help sell merchandise. Stone Cold is force and we hope he has a long and successful run in the UFWL.

17th UFWL Draft Pick: Andre the Giant

The 17th UFWL Draft pick is the 8th wonder of the world Andre the Giant. Is there any guess hat division the UFWL will place him in? Of course not. Also we are not talking about the old broken down giant of the lat 1980's, we are talking about the Giant in his prime in the mid to late 1970's. The guy who can kick much ass, and even cut a promo now and again.

This is truly the great thing about fantasy wrestling; we can reach back into history and get guys from their prime from different eras.

The word around the UFWL locker room is that Bret Hart has been heavily recruiting Andre to join his Hart Foundation stable. Back in the NWA days Andre has a few successful runs with Stampede Wrestling run but Bret's father Stu Hart. We will have to wait and see if Bret can convince Andre to wrestle with him.

16th UFWL Draft Pick: Raven

This might be something of a surprise to folks out there. Taking Raven with the 16th pick, but UFWL is going to have a certain gang wars mentality to it, and no one out there has assembled a gang quite like the boy Raven.

We are toying with a new idea for the UFWL. Stables have always been a part of pro wrestling, and in the UFWL we have stipulated that for a stable to be a legitimate part of our promotion they must field at least eight members and have a person designated for each singles division in the UFWL.

The new idea comes in the form of an Ultimate Stable belt. A Stable Championship to add heat to the war between the different groups in the UFWL.

Sure we are setting up a gang war, and in a gang war we will need Raven and his flock. We do not yet know who will be in his flock, but we can be assured that his stable will be one of the more dominate ones around.

As a singles wrestler Raven will compete in the hardcore division where he can use his Raven's Rules gimmick much more effectively.

15th UFWL Draft pick: Ultimo Dragon

The 15th UFWL draft is probably the best cruiser weight the world over. We are drafting none other than the Ultimo Dragon. He is the only wrestler to hold 10 cruiser weight titles at one time twice. He is a high flying Lucha Libre style wrestler who learned his craft in Mexico and will be a featured star of our Cruiser Weight Division.

Ultimo Dragon has been severely mismanaged by U.S. based wrestling promotions. He got his best push at the old WCW, even going on to win the WCW TV belt, but in 2003 he came to the WWE, and like most stars made by other promotions the WWE creative team failed to turn him into a big asset. It is a mistake the UFWL does not plan on repeating.

This guy is a special talent, and we plan to use him in a special way.

14th UFWL Draft pick: Chyna

The 14th UFWL draft pick in none other that the 9th wonder of the world Chyna. Ya see, the great thing about fantasy wrestling is I don't have to consider hurt feelings, or the particular instability of the talent. Chyna's WWF career came to an end prematurely because Triple H decided having sex with the boss' daughter was far more beneficial than having sex with Chyna. She could not resolve those feelings even the WWF creative team had created a new angle for her to pursue.

So we don't have to get into Chyna's struggle as a human being, even though it makes us kind of sad, we can instead focus on her in ring abilities. We here at the UFWL want to have a legitimate women's division. We want girls who can kick ass, and we can worry about divas and valets later.

We fully expect Chyna to be a force n our women's division. She will enter as a face, and see if our fans are ready to accept her back into the wrestling fold.

13th UFWL Draft Pick: DDP Diamond Dallas Page

Self High Five, the 13th UFWL fantasy draft pick is none other than DDP, Diamond Dallas Page. To be clear I am not talking about the creepy stalker DDP that had a disastrous run in the WWE, but the DDP who was the one guy to stand up to the NWO, and kick ass all over the old WCW.

Even though DDP would win the WCW World Championship on three separate occasions, I don' think he ever made it to main event status. Sure he is a great talent, and his pretty good on the mike, but in the UFWL we will sue DDP as a heel in our TV Title division.

We need guys to help carry our TV shows, House shows, and give us great matches on the under card of our PPV's. Page is all of that in one package, and we made him a high draft pick because of it.

12th UFWL draft pick: The Undertaker

Oh man, the dead man, no wrestling promotion would be complete with one of the best old school talents in the business who somehow has kept it going for all of these years. The great thing about the Undertaker is he is one of the only old school guys, who has managed to stay completely relevant with one promotion all of these years. Sure is Wrestlemania win streak is something of legend, but the UFWL needed to add the WWE franchise to make itself relevant.

There is no doubt about it that the Undertaker is a main eventer, and we look forward to him bringing his unique style to the World Title division of the UFWL. To start we see Undertaker as not only a fan favorite but a face as well. We look forward to all the great matches 'Taker is sure to bring to our promotion.
