ROSTER EDIT (6/17/04): Eugene and Mordecai were added to the Undercard roster. They weren't on the rosters before.
Ok, I'm going to be making a few posts so that everyone is caught up. This first one is going to be the roster.
After looking at IOW to see what I posted before, it turns out I only posted the first PPV and the first week of UWF RAW and UWF Nitro, BUT I've written two weeks worth of each show and had already begun work on week 3.
Soooo, what I'll do is post the roster, the PPV (which isn't all that long), and the first week's worth of shows. Then on Monday I'll post week two and then try to post them every week on Monday.
Since I'll be gone on vacation in mid-July and have relatives down the week before, I'm going to write a show every 2-3 days until I've written enough RAWs and Nitros to make it through the end of July, that way I'll be able to post a show the Monday that the relatives are down plus another one that Friday night right before we go to the beach. Then when we get back, I'll be able to post another one that Monday without spending time writing it.
I know that might sound like a lot of work to do it every 2-3 days but I think I can handle it. If not, then the week before the relatives come down, I'll bust my ass to finish out the month.
Anyway, now to explain UWF. Some of you already know, some may have forgotten, some might be new to it. If you are, then scroll down until you see the rosters to refresh yourself on who's on each roster. HOWEVER, I do explain the whole thing a little better so it might be good to skim the explanation because I get more in-depth this time around.
UWF stands for Ultimate Wrestling Federation. It was originally an e-fed I ran a while back. I used to check out the Creative Corner all the time on IOW, checking out their shows. I finally decided one day that I wanted to do a fantasy booking.
The concept behind UWF is that it's owned by Gravedigger (which is my e-wrestling character for those of you that were in IOWF with me and seen me in uCw). Gravedigger has a TON of money. He decides to go out and buy out WWE. Everything. The wrestlers, the crews, everything including the McMahons and everyone who isn't a wrestler or a crew member, etc. Why he did that, I won't tell because it's explained in the first UWF PPV.
But basically, Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon both are GMs of their own shows, UWF Nitro and UWF RAW. I'll let you guess who owns which one ;)
The way this works is I picked all the wrestlers from WWE.com plus some indy wrestlers plus wrestlers suggested by some of you guys on IOW.net and chose 64 of them to put on an official roster. The rest of the wrestlers suggested/obtained from the internet were put on an Undercard roster.
The Undercard roster is where I put people I do not want to use on the official rosters at this time. Anyone who is suspended, fired, etc. will be placed on there or people who I don't want to debut yet. Someone who is placed on the roster always has the chance of getting moved up to the actual roster.
The line-ups for each roster were chosen by drawing a piece of paper out of a hat with the wrestler's name on the folded paper. Meaning the rosters are totally random and had no help in deciding who goes where. Not to say that there won't be trades, but at first the rosters will be frozen in terms of trading.
The brackets for any tournament will be chosen randomly via a drawing. The winners of each match are decided by a coin toss (the wrestler listed first always wins if the coin lands on heads, the wrestler listed second always wins if the coin lands on tails).
Once all titles are decided and we get underway, not all matches will be decided by coin toss. Some will be decided by angle, some will be decided by gut feeling, some will be decided by you guys, and the rest will be decided by a coin.
Any time I hold a tournament from now on, drawings will decide the brackets. Drawings will also determine the entry and eliminations for battle royals.
Occasionally at the end of a UWF show, when it's all over and I ask for feedback pay close attention because sometimes I will give a series of choices for the readers to pick from to make this more interactive.
For example, after the world title tournament is over at the next PPV and we've crowned a new champion for each show, I might end up giving these choices:
-Debut a brand new wrestler on RAW
-Hold a number one contender match for the RAW title
-Have a handicap match on RAW
And possibly many other choices. Then once I tally up the amount for each choice, I'll then set up more choices for the winning one. For Debut option, I'd draw five names from the Undercard roster out of a hat and use those as choices (if someone is on the roster I don't want on the shows, they will not be placed in the drawing, sorry). Then the two wrestlers with the most votes would be decided by coin toss and the winner would be the one to debut, but of course you guys wouldn't know who it will be until the next show. If contender match was picked, I'd pick the three guys in the semi-finals who didn't win from the tournament and you'd vote if it was a one-on-one (drawing would decide which one isn't in the match)or a triple threat match. Then the handicap match, I'd pick a couple of heel teams and then some good faces for them to go against and let you pick which groups face off. Again, top votes would duel in a coin toss. So just because one group got 5 votes and another got 2 while the rest got 0, doesn't mean the 5 votes would win.
I think that's it for now in explaining, so check out the roster, then check out the PPV and the first week of each show!

You guys can give feedback on the roster if you want to. I know some of you did before, but it makes no difference to me if you do it again.
EDIT: Something I forgot to mention is that you guys, at any time, can suggest new wrestlers for me to put on the Undercard roster that aren't part of UWF (example Greg Valentine). I have final say on whether or not the wrestler will be put on the roster. You can pick anyone who is not handicapped, they have to be a wrestler, and they have to be alive.
Also, if you'll notice, Stone Cold is on the roster even though he retired...I think. I wanted him on the roster so that's why he's there. He's in perfect health on my show. So if a wrestler is retired due to injuries but isn't handicapped, you can still mention them and if I want them on the show, they will be HEAL-ED!!
One last thing, whenever I bring someone up from the Undercard roster, move someone down to the Undercard roster, or add someone to the Undercard roster, I will edit this post to reflect the changes with the change mentioned at the TOP of this post so you don't have to scroll all the way down to see what changes were made or have to figure it out by staring at the wrestlers for an hour.
