W.E.W.
(not to be confused with its soon to launch offshoot W.E.W. NuVu)
Formed IN 2013 W.E.W (World Entertaining Wrestling), led by owner and head booker Sammy Kong brought together young talent from all over the world to form an exciting upstart organisation.
WEW's ranks were further bolstered as time went on by the pan-organisational reinvigorate program to bring through a new generation of young lions.
Sadly WEW was forced to close due to financial difficulties right at the peak and culmination of a number of leagues and tournaments held to crown new champions for all the, otherwise vacant, titles.
Happily after a little under a year out of the scene WEW resurfaces with a T.V. deal no less with an Osaka based production company.
WEW's return show was a blockbuster; capping off all the previous competitions with title bouts featuring those competitors leading the leagues and tournaments.

Wrestler Profiles
Heavyweights:
Sammy Kong
Sammy Kong (known affectionately as "Slappy" Sammy Kong) was a former superstar in Japan, rising to the top despite his Korean heritage.
Sammy still competes and is a force in the heavyweight division (and the tag division with his regular partner El Loco), however he knows it is time to pass the torch and does not abuse his backstage power.
Fortress
The man known simply as Fortress is a mountain of a man, the quintessential gaijin monster.
Born to an African-American father and Samoan mother he has American citizenship.
Fortress is a power wrestler who shows little respect to his opponents and is undoubtedly the most dominant force in the WEW.
Don Henway
Don Henway is one of the largest competitors in the WEW, a big bear of a man from the Canadian wilds.
He uses his enormous, crushing, strength and arsenal of vicious throws to break his opponent's spirits.
Jack Bryant
Jack Bryant is an enigmatic English wrestler who came to the ring via a twisted path; originally a judoka competing for the British Olympic team he then went to Japan to compete in Sumo before being spotted and trained by Genichiro Tenryu.
Jack's style is perhaps the most unique of all WEW competitors mixing Judo throws with Sumo power moves and Puro staples.
Dr. Dooley
Dr. Dooley is one of the most feared wrestlers in the WEW; he takes any shortcut to victory he can including using foreign objects and even a sharpened fork!
He is a huge force to be reckoned with in the WEW, his finisher a fireball attack he calls simply "Big Fire" is one of the most effective and terrifying in all of the WEW.
He is notorious for having his matches degenerate into brawls on the outside resulting in count-outs and double count-outs which only add to his heel heat.

He is as unpredictable as he is entertaining and a force in the Lightweight division.
The Hispanic Mechanic
The Hispanic Mechanic is a masked rudo wrestler brought in from Mexico to feud with the smaller El Loco.
He wrestles a slower more technical style of match employing an arsenal of eye (and ligament) popping submission holds, a real stretching machine.

He tags with Ken Takano as part of "MUGA x Attitude" though his recent heelish behaviour is a source of tension in the team.
El Loco
El Loco is a perennial favourite with a fighting spirit far larger than his small stature would indicate.
He is the long-time tag team partner of the aging Sammy Kong and is relied on to raise the pace of their tag matches.
He is a Mexican luchadore who wrestles without a mask having lost it in his final match in Mexico.
