Welcome to the official National Wrestling Alliance fantasy wrestling league. We hope these commonly asked questions and answers give you some insight into how things are done around here and becomes a major influence on your desision on join us in the fun as well. Theses FAQ should help you understand our goals and our purpose.


2. Our History:

This league was officially created in April 1987 and would be refered to by modern day standards as a 'backyard fed'. We do have audio and video prove of our claims of dating back this far that eventual we may make available to the public to either hear or purchase to listen/view in the comfort of their very own home.

In 1997 ten years after starting we went onto the internet as a ' email wrestling' league and found many successes as the NeWA.

Then in 1999 the NWA fantasy league which was combined with the old NeWA in 1997 was re-vived and contiuned from the point in history where we left the NeWA 'world', however we still combine all histories from both incantations.

Although the NeWA contiunes to exist, we at this time have no dealings with them and we both continue to share the official endorsement from the actual National Wrestling Alliance.

Fantasy Wrestling: This alliance is first and foremost a fantasy wrestling league meaning that the booker controls the angles, storylines, and title changes within his regional company. Below are guidelines for which bookers MUST follow to be or contiune to be a member of this alliance:

Email Wrestling: This alliance will allow email wrestling, BUT these following guidelines MUST be followed:

Fantasy Wrestlers v.s. Email wrestlers

. If a fantasy wrestlers is handled by a handler, then the handler MUST roleplay for the bout. If the wrestler is not handled then the booker of the said fantasy wrestler then must roleplay for that wrestler.

. If a fantasy wrestler is a regional champion these above rules apply, If the fantasy wrestler is a World Champion then either the handler will roleplay or the Head Booker of the NWA will then roleplay for the said World Champion fantasy wrestler.

Handlers: Bookers whom want to find live roleplayers for their wrestlers may do so BUT you must inform the handler(s) of these fact:

. The Booker has the right to pre-determin the angles, pushes, title switches, and feuds the said wrestlers may be in. Mostly what the handler does is add a personality to the wrestler.

. The Booker must tell the handler(s) about the angles, and other storylines that they will be roleplaying for.
