IN THIS PLACE,
the only thing that separates MEN from GODS
is THREE ROPES and a TURNBUCKLE...
But even then, only one can stand tall among them and proudly hoist the championship belt in their name. Whether they've got something to prove or just love putting other men in their place, these fighters will put it all on the line to leave the ring a legend or in a bodybag.This is no fairytale. Heroes rise or fall of their own merit, and the ambitious take what they want and wear the title of villain as a badge of honor. Dreams have to let blood if they want to come true, or be trampled under the sheer magnitude of the titans that came before them.Bend the knee in their overwhelming presence and you might just get to sleep in your own bed tonight, but no one ever made history by taking the easy way out. You have to break bones to break bones. The bell is ringing, and the only thing that matters here is...
Under construction!(3/10/2026) The two shelled fighters seem to be getting along about as good as two beefy brutes can! Is Rolldozer trying to help Adamantort or just get in his way?!
(3/9/2026) Rolldozer's rivalries has been updated, and he's got something to say about a few of the league fighters! Frank and Smolz clap back with some rivalries of their own! Seems like Adamantort and Lex are ready to tear each other's throats out!?

General Resources
Participation Rules
1. You are responsible for your own participation. There are too many entrants for me to ask each individual person if they'll be playing in every upcoming event. Events will be announced in the appropriate channel and signing up will be your own responsibility.2. One character per participant. Let's just keep this simple for now. We can talk about character retirement at some point in the future.3. You cannot take losses personally. We are emulating professional wrestling so sometimes you just have to play the part. And sometimes playing the part means pretending to take it personally!4. If you're not sure who is comfortable participating in in-character content, especially smack talk, do not assume they are. Everyone is participating at a level they are most comfortable at!5. This is a collaborative game! If you and another player want to flesh out a storyline, get in touch and I'll do what I can to support it through brackets and events!
Game Rules
1. We will be playing with best of 3 rules and standard tournament rules unless stated otherwise.2. In game 1, a player can request the TO perform a character blind pick. Every subsequent game, loser of the previous game has character pick advantage and may choose to change characters in response to the winner's character. The winner is still allowed to switch characters, but must pick first in a character selection dispute.3. You are responsible for reporting your games to the TO. Make sure you have online replays auto-save to prevent disputes.4. Games are to be played on North and Central American servers only (This means Queretaro is allowed), unless both players live outside of the region and would like to gentleman's to a server between them.5. Communicate to your opponent if you would like to perform a button check in-game before performing that button check.6. Games can only be canceled in the first 15 seconds of gameplay for controller and gameplay issues. For the sake of time, games that are ended abruptly through a game crash, disconnect, etc. count as a loss for the disconnected player. There's always next game!7. What TO says goes! There simply isn't enough time to mediate every edge case.
