Universal Pro Wrestling
11700041286_ba84869949_b.jpg

Universal Pro Wrestling is a fantasy professional wrestling circuit run with the TNM7 wrestling simulator. The wrestlers, managers, referees, and other characters are based on real people but the events depicted in the writings are completely fictional. It exists alongside Ryan's Niemiller's long-running namesake of this universe, GCW, Josh Cooper's increasingly venerable NWF and Russ Myer's young WWA. UPW joins them as the fourth member of an evermore detailed and elaborate re-imagining of the professional wrestling landscape in the 20th century.

1 History

1985

Universal Pro Wrestling was founded by Carl Florida, an eccentric entrepreneur, businessman of mixed repute, and sports promoter. Never far from the latest fad, the self-styled "Captain" jumped into the deep end of the professional wrestling pool with both feet following the success of nationally broadcasted super cards like Super Cade I and the Great American Bash, along with the syndication of GCW and NWF television programming at the dawn of the cable age. Florida saw the new era of pro wrestling as one of colorful personalities, large muscles, glitz and glamor—a spectacle for the American public with him, Carl Florida (who's never missed a chance to promote himself in addition to his latest venture) as its ringleader. Naturally headquartering the company in Las Vegas, Florida used his contacts in the fledgling but hungry cable industry to secure limited national syndication on SportsChannel America, and seeks to thrust UPW—whether wanted or not—to the forefront of the wrestling world. Signing some of the top talent in the country (all who happen to be on the outs with more respectable promotions), it remains to be seen whether Florida is a gigantic money mark or one of the very few people who have actually figured out how to make a profit in the 'rasslin business. In the meanwhile, wrestlers and staff are content to cash their checks and hope they don't bounce.
