WCW 2025
Back in Business
F O R E W O R D
Right now there is a draft going on for a TEW simulation project by Hoss. I'm part of that draft in which I draft a roster for Ring of Honor
and I got the idea stuck in my head to use that roster for a BTB project of my own, which is this one you're at right now. Instead of ROH
though, I decided to bring World Championship Wrestling back to life with January 1st, 2025 as the starting point.
Couple of points before we get into the thick of things. When it comes to the active in-ring talent portion of the roster I will use my drafted,
pre-trades roster and since the draft is still going there will be a couple more people added over the upcoming days or weeks. The Staff
corner though, I will take some liberties with. I'm going to use the ones I drafted, of course, but will add some who were snatched by other
promotions as well. Since it's *just* the staff, it doesn't really matter, I think.
The trades I have made so far (and those who I might do) will also be incorporated in some way or form into this BTB over time and the three
companies I have traded with are considered to have working agreements with WCW, which means there could be a time, where some of
their talent will show up as guests. For that I will also take only the drafted rosters of those promotions into account.
Finally, Hoss simulates the world of Wrestling through that TEW project. Depending on things, you might end up seeing things that did
happen in Hoss' project, also being incorporated in this BTB.

The WWE did not buy the WCW assets in 2001. Instead a group of investors did, which tried to make something out of it throughout
the 2000s with moderate success. By 2009 and overall quite a lot of lost money, this group of investors decided to sell the company.
After a couple of years the new owner decided, when they struck a new, promising looking TV deal to rename the company by 2012.
Just like the previous owners, the company had some moderate success throughout the 2010s. Some good years, some bad years and
some absolute horrible last years in that decade, including some not that minor scandals. Then 2020 came and with it the COVID
pandemic, which held the world captive for a long time. Companies in the world of Wrestling began to struggle and between 2020 and
2022 there was an unbelievable amount of movement of talent between the promotions, with the big three in the US losing a lot
of bigger names, while some smaller indie companies started to gain a lot of momentum. This company though, was struggling.
The scandals and the bad product they produced before the pandemic hit made it virtually impossible to get back to the level they
were at around the mid-2010s and after another year of problems, the owner decided to put the company up for sale again. A new
owner was found in T.L. Bearson, who immediately started to make big changes to the roster and the production in January of 2024.
By the summer of that year, thanks to a lot of invested money and the vast improvement of quality within and around the ring, the
company was hot once again. It also helped that they were able to surprisingly secure some very big names around that time and with
new, very profitable TV deals being attained for the start of 2025, the owner T.L. Bearson had one more huge announcement to make.
After 13 long years, coming January 1st, 2025... this company will once again be known as World Championship Wrestling.
