I'd have to agree for the most part with your thoughts here. The UWL matches should be filled with a variety of styles to match the very different types of players we have here on the site. One thing to keep in mind though, whenever discussing the UWL, we must keep in mind that The Circuit-Maximus is also present. This is the underground fight club that is held to entertain the rich and famous. For the Circuit, I would expect things to be turned up to eleven! A more focused look at matches that are filled with brutality. So for the Circuit, my opinion of the type of matches would be as followed: Some Modern Some Hardcore Small amount of Realism and Hyper-Realism [focusing on the more painful aspects] Some Daredevil The Circuit-Maximus would also be a way for characters of the Bedlam setting to have a gritty adventure in Freedom city. Of course, there is no "drama" or "script" for the Circuit as the fights should seem like a true fight club.

I really don't see why there was be gender segregated matches. We are talking about super powered beings where each person is different. I would like to see mixed matches as an option. Everyone would love to see Superman and Wonder Woman in a brawl to see who is the best. I envision the UWL to being like the Street Fighter games of the early nineties, it doesn'T matter if you're male or female, as long as you're able to fight.

The large elevator was actually pretty impressive. Kwame figured that at least 30 to forty normal people people could fit inside with room to spare. The large rings in the cardio room could easily fit within the elevator as well. Contemplating the size of the elevator got Kwame looking at the other recruits again. Jesse, "The Spur", who could turn his body into iron, was a powerhouse like himself. His power however came from his transformed condition. As a wrestler, Jesse's style was more of the direct punishment variety which fit his new powers. Kwame recalled how they would often team up during their days together in TNA. Kwame's mastery of submission holds coupled with Jesse's straight damaging style worked well. Hopefully the two would get the chance to work together again here. Kwame was sad when Jesse left TNA due to his powers appearing but glad that his friend had some experience with powers when he gained his own. Jesse had been the first person Kwame had turned to for help. Together, they managed to work through the basics of his powers as well as help him adjust to his new life. Standing next to Jesse was Sharon "Vixen" Nelson. Kwame remember working with her during his early career with the PCW out of Chicago. He didn't know that she was a metahuman and had no ideas what her abilities were now, but back in the day, she was one of the more agile fighters he had the pleasure of working with. They even had a few dates before she suddenly left the circuit. Kwame didn't recall hearing anything about her since he last saw her. Vixen's toned body hinted that she had continued wrestling after leaving the PCW. Kwame blinked as he recognized the tall man standing in the group. Standing at an impressive 7 feet tall was none other than The Big Cactus, one of the tallest wrestlers coming out of the WWE! The Big Cactus was one of the greats that Kwame had fashioned his own style upon. He was a submissive type that used his long limbs to force his opponents to literally beg to be released. Kwame was surprised to see such a famous wrestler was now with the UWL and wondered exactly what kind of powers the star now had. The others were still a mystery to him. Veronica Sellers, the shortest member of the group. She resembled a child in a candy store for th first time. Her head swiveled from side to side as she tried to take in everything all at once. I remember when I was like that. I thought everything was magical back then. That was before I started getting thrown around like a rag doll. At least Veronica had the body type of a wrestler. The lanky man standing next to her wasn't as lucky. He had given the name of Thomas Barr which Kwame figured was a stage name like Jesse. Thomas looked more suited to the life of a runway model than as a wrestler. He also showed signs of having little knowledge of the wrestling world. The twins, Mike and Paul, were a strange duo. They had introduced themselves as having experience and fighting under the tag team name, The MPs. Kwame hadn't heard of the duo as they worked mostly in the indie groups located in Mexico. though they were both on the heavy side, neither gave the appearance of being powerhouse style fighters. Instead, Mike's sudden interest in the cardio room and the speedster treadmill implied he was a speedster while Paul's interests remained a mystery. Hannah Taylor, a beautiful Scottish red head, stood the tallest in the group. At 7 feet 3 inches, she was even taller than The Big Cactus. However, her frame was covered in very powerful muscles that rivaled Jesse's when he was in iron form. Her unusual size was obviously due to her powers and Kwame suspected that she would take a name that included mention of the fact. The remaining two recruits in the group were Canadian brothers. The older brother, Zayn Lee, had experience wrestling in Europe. He had the frame of an agile wrestler. His younger brother, Aiden Lee, was harder to learn anything about. Kwame found it hard to focus on the young wrestler. After a few moments, he simply decided to give up. I'll have to watch out for that one. If he learns how to wrestle, he might cause a me a lot of problems in the ring. Kwame took a moment to let his eyes readjust tot eh group in a whole just as the doors opened to reveal the newest level. He nodded in appreciation of the work space and knew he would need to use it quite a lot once he learned more about his new coworkers.

I just wanted to open a thread where I can put some ideas for the Ultimate Wrestling guide page. I know Olopi is helping me set some things up, but here are some ideas that I've come up with about the organization. If anyone else have ideas for the UWL, please fill free to add to the thread. I'll link the contents to this first post for quick access. Content New Recruits - Group of new wrestlers to join the organization.

Kwame's head was spinning form the show of power from the heroes. The sudden disappearance and reappearance of Warp plus Grimalkin's continued display of magic was causing Kwame a small fit of jealousy. "I'm not that freak out by magic. More like I'm surprised it's real. My life, up till this point, has been fairly grounded. I can understand things of science but magic is something that's going to take some time to get my head around." Kwame downed the last of the eggnog and crushed the cup in his hand. "To me, it seems that if you have magic on your side, you'll be able to keep the heavy hitters from actually hitting you. Well, someone like me at least. No idea how you could stop someone like Warp here." Kwame moved over to a nearby trash can and emptied his hand. "Since you ladies have decided to show off a bit, I can't be undone. It's my job to be in the limelight and what better way to introduce the great people of Freedom to my presence than to show off a little." He looked at the two castles for a moment. Having made his decision, he bent over and gathered some snow in his hands. As he straightened up, his powerful legs launched him into the air towards the newly formed 'monster' castle. He landed on the roof, near one of the gargoyles. He smiled down at the small group of heroes and held his arms out above his head. "I am Hammer and claim this castle and it's occupants as mine. Together, we shall conquer all! Minions! Prepare for battle!" he yelled loudly to be heard by most of the people in the area. He turned to the children that had joined him in the castle and said to them, "You see that group of heroes down there? Yeah, the ones next to Elsa. They're the enemy. We must use snowballs to slay them. If we hit them three times, they're out. If we get them all, you'll all get tickets to my debut match with the Ultimate Wrestling League! Are you with me?" The small group of children screamed out in agreement and started scooping up snow. Kwame turned back towards the 'enemy' and launched the snowball he had already held in his hands right at Gargoyle! The snowball sailed through the air and though it moved quickly towards its target, Kwame had but no strength behind it. The idea was to have fun, not cause any harm. Kwame smiled down at the heroes, wondering how they would react.

Kwame's mouth dropped open in awe as he watched Grimalkin first changed her appearance before creating an ice castle. Did she just make an ice castle? Powers, I always knew was around, but magic as well? How am I going ot be even effective as a hero if there's abilities like that out there? I really need to rethink this whole hero business. Slowly, he closed his mouth and stared a little longer at Grimalkin. "Wa...was that magic? Hell, are you even real?" He twisted his head around towards the others to see if they were a shocked to see magic being used but when he noticed their indifference, he choked and straightened his jacket, Picard style. "Um, could you make a second one? You can't have a snowball battle without two forts. Well, the kids could just play king of the castle, but I always enjoyed the teamwork needed for snowball fights."

Kwame looked around the room. Cardio wasn't something he was really into since he preferred to gain muscle mass. Still, cardio had its place in a workout. Especially for the life of a wrestler, cardio was needed to ensure that everyone had the stamina to last a match. So they do have stuff for the different types of powers. that's good to know. I'll have to be careful with the ones I use. "Hey, Jesse, it looks like you'll finally get a chance to show me just how fast you really are. We'll just put you on the speedster treadmill and and figure out just how far you can get thrown! Actually, that would be a pretty good gimmick in the ring. I can see it now." Kwame spread his arms as if pointing out the headlines of a billboard. "Ring Toss Match! First person thrown from the treadmill loses." He jabbed an elbow into Jesse's side as he finished. A few of the recruits laughed at the joke and even Jesse gave a half-hearted smirk in response. Kwame and Jesse, had their share of rivalry but it was inflated by the publicity aspect of the matches. In reality, the two were fairly good friends. "Me, getting tossed? I believe you're referring about yourself. Hey it's called Hammer toss for a reason!" Jesse jabbed back which got a few louder laughs than Kwame's line. Kwame laughed with the others. "Good one, Jesse. Good one."

Kwame smiled at Sakurako's enthusiasm. I like her! A good head on her shoulder and easy to talk to. I hope the other heroes I run into can be as interesting. "My powers are pretty simple, actually. I'm strong. No flying but I can leap a good distance." He slaps his legs to draw Sakurako's attention. "The muscles on these babies can get me some good distance. but other than that, that's about it. Oh, I can take a punch or two; even a few rounds from a machine gun can't faze me. Found that out just recently. Can you believe some punks tried to rob a restaurant in Freedom city and only brought machine pistols? I tell you, an idiot is born everyday! Ruined a perfectly good shirt in the process."

Agent? Lawyer? Inevitable lawsuits? Is the heroic business one I really want to get into? Kwame looked a little worried. "Um, thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to look into all of that." Kwame looked down at his clothes and smiled broadly. He spread his arms to give everyone a better look. "Actually, I'm a member of the Ultimate Wrestling League. They gave me the suit so I'm sure it can take licking but the design was actually from my nephew. I've been wearing his designs in the ring since 2010. He's perhaps my biggest fan. He hasn't seen this one yet. I haven't had the chance to get any real exposure with it on. that'll change of course come next month. I'll be having my debut match with UWL and expect that's when I'll get to show people what I can do as a superhero as well."

Kwame searched his memory about Alejandro but didn't recall much about the wrestler. He must have been pretty good for people to know who he is. I'll have to look him up once I get a chance. Perhaps I can get Endeavor to help me out. She's pretty good with searching the net. Endeavor, or Sakurako Hina, was one of the young heroes he met the other day at the Christmas block party. She was pretty handy with computers and gadgets. She had agreed to help Kwame set up his superhero profile. Kwame stepped in line with the others, following the old wrestler into the next section of the gym. He stared in awe at the huge rings centered in the room. Not only were they wider than what he was used it, they were also taller. Falling out of the ring is going to hurt a lot more now. Glad I got the tough package. What would I have done if that stuff had turned me into a speedster or worst yet one of those blasters? I'd have a much harder time adjusting to the Ultimates. Thank God for small miracles. Kwame turned his attention back to the lecture on the facilities. He wanted to ask about the fitness equipment and whether it was adjusted to their more powerful abilities but decided not to. It only made sense that the equipment would be able to push all the athletes to their limits. If not, then there must be some place nearby that could. Instead, he simply nodded his head in understanding. Glad I won't have to sit in on those classes again. It was a pain in the rear the first time through. No need to suffer a second time.

Kwame beamed broadly. "Thanks! Though there's nothing secretive about my identity. Anybody with knowledge of the wrestling world would already know who I was. I decided to keep my wrestling name as I start dabbling in the world of heroes. I would hate to lose all my fan base. Do you know how hard it was just to get popular in the wrestling world?" Kwame shivered from the memory of the grueling experience. "Let me tell you, it's not something I don't want to go through a second time!" Kwame took a sip from the steaming hot eggnog. The drink was smooth and light with just a taste of brandy. Not bad. Not as good as Grandma Harris' , but a decent substitute. I'll have to contact Camille about getting her recipe. Should have gotten it years ago. "Maybe we can get that all set up before the new year? It shouldn't take long. What would I need to get things sorted out?"

Kwame watches as Endeavor rattles over fact after fact about the history of Freedom. This kid's got skills with the net. Perhaps I could get her to help me set up my superhero account. Not really sure what site to do that with. He nods at her request for eggnog. "That's one for you, Endeavor and one for....I'm sorry, I didn't get your name," he says looking at the stone creature. Once he gets Gargoyle's name, he heads over tot eh eggnog booth and orders one alcoholic and two nonalcoholic eggnogs. While in line, he buys drinks for the couple standing behind him as well. "Courtesy of Hammer. Make sure you catch my debut match with the Ultimate Wrestling League next month. I promise to give you a show you'll never forget!" The couple graciously accept the eggnog and promise to try to make the match. Kwame returns to the small group of heroes, the eggnog in a carrying tray. "Okay. The ones with the blue wrapping on the side are the nonalcoholic ones. The red one has alcohol." He passes a cup first to Endeavor and then to Gargoyle. "By the way, Endeavor. If you have time, I'd like your help getting my superhero profile set up online. It could be pretty useful to get in touch with other heroes if needed."
