[edit] History
In 2000, the WrestleZone forums featured an e-federation known as the WrestleZone Wrestling Federation. However, due to a large influx of talent, a developmental territory was formed called WrestleZone Championship Wrestling. Due to strains in the relations between WZCW and WZFW, WZCW broke off into its own independent promotion. WZWF was moved to another site, and WZCW continued on the WreslteZone forums. Both federations eventually closed.
In 2007, a new federation also entitled WreslteZone Championship Wrestling was formed, run by forum members Prax and Downward Spiral, with the assistance of Iscariot. Since then, the creative staff has changed significantly. At one point, members were having trouble with family, internet, and other things. Therefore, creative member Ricky Maivia decided to set a deadline, where creative members had to reply to say that they would stay. When then members Murfish and Iscariot declined, he had no choice but to assign new creative spots. The three members left in creative decided to hire FLUK and Shock. Shock eventually dropped the position and left the federation.
The current creative staff consists of WrestleZone members Harthan, Lee, Steamboat Ricky, Ty Burna, Dave and Phoenix. Currently, bi-weekly episodes of Meltdown and Ascension are produced, with pay-per-views being held several times a year.
[edit] Style
Match outcomes are determined largely by the strength of a member's role play for their particular match, although there are sometimes occurrences where matches are decided based on an overarching storyline. Members of the federation are placed into matches by the members of creative, and these matches are then announced in the federation forums. Members are given time to create a role play regarding their match, and after the deadline has closed, these role plays are considered by the creative staff. The creative staff then votes on the outcome of the match after considering these role plays. The wrestler or team of wrestlers (in a tag team match) that receives the majority of votes is selected to win the match. Following this, the results are turned over to match writers. These writers then create the match details. When all the matches have been composed, they are posted as a new television show, pay-per-view, or special.
