The Unified Global Wrestling Coalition is pleased to announce the 2017 WrestleStock Open Invitational.
WrestleStock is an annual festival promoted by UGWC for the purpose of celebrating the wrestling community. This year the four day festival will be held in the New Orleans City Park, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the week of July 6th-9th, 2017. Traditionally, each day of the festival has a different theme, with a variety of matches and activities being held throughout the grounds, with the World Heavyweight Championship being defended on the final day. For the third consecutive year, the final day of the festival will also feature the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
While WrestleStock has traditionally focused on history and legacies, this year UGWC invites all active wrestlers and promotions to join with the UGWC Entertainment Professionals to celebrate our vocation. There are two ways to participate.
First, UGWC invites any active wrestler to participate in a featured match at the festival against a member of another promotion, or possibly a member of the UGWC roster itself.
Additionally, UGWC invites other promotions to hold a sanctioned match at the festival as well.
These spotlighted matches will take place throughout the festival, with the most outstanding performers advancing to a match on the final day of the festival, with the winner being recognized as the 2017 WrestleStock Cup Winner.
Over the past two years the WrestleStock Open has featured participants from EPW, OWF, UGWC, WWA, and free agents from throughout the industry. The winner last year was Kem Dynamo, representing the Outsider Wrestling Federation.
UGWC is excited to extend this invitation to all members of the wrestling community.
Update: This year, for the first time ever, the winner of the WrestleStock Cup will be eligible for a title opportunity at UGWC In Your Hands on August 21, 2017. The winner may select to challenge the Chaos or Cross-Hemisphere Champion directly for their title, choose a partner to challenge the Cooperative Champions, or be named as one of three potential challengers for the World Heavyweight Championship, to be voted on by the UGWC fans.
A commitment to In Your Hands is not required to participate in the WrestleStock Open. The winner may decline the subsequent opportunity, if they so choose.
How this will work:
Handlers: Any individual from any e-fed may sign up to participate as an individual. You will be given a match against another individual from a different home e-fed, potentially from UGWC itself if any members choose to participate. Depending on the volume of participation, multi-person matches may be scheduled. You will be expected to write and post one roleplay during the week of June 26, with a deadline of July 1. This one roleplay will be the only required participation for the entire festival. Winners will be determined by the UGWC moderators.
Promotions: If a promotion would like to have a featured match from their promotion be hosted at the event (both title and non-title acceptable) they may do so. Winners of these matches will be determined by the featured promotion's fed-head.
Sign-Ups: A specific thread will be set up on the Roster Board here for individual handlers to post bios and announce their participation. Fed-Heads interested in having a featured match should PM me directly or PM our twitter account.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
