Bell acquires rights to name,
Allstar Wrestling of the Motor City returns!

In a move that has surprised many in the wrestling world, sources say former Allstar Wrestling of the Motor City president Brian Bell is preparing to relaunch the Detroit promotion that started it all. AWMC is back!

Founded in 1997, AWMC was noted one of the sport’s great promotions that vaulted stars like Chris Del Rio, “Outcast” Rob Cole, Retribution, Hiroyoshi Takada, Kuwasi “Blackfist” Shakur and “Midnight” Darren Skiles to prominence. Bell, who founded the company, sold his interest to then-AWMC Executive Director Henry Paxson last year to pursue personal interests, while Paxson took the company to world level under the name Allstar Global Wrestling. No details of the deal have been released, but those close to the parties indicate Bell paid an undisclosed sum to AGW for rights to the Allstar Wrestling of the Motor City name in exchange for an agreement which stipulates the ‘new’ AWMC will remain a Michigan promotion that will not promote, tour or televise outside of the Great Lakes area.

Bell stated he’s currently hiring for a new wrestling promotion, but has not made any other definitive statements. More to come.

That’s right kids.

Allstar Wrestling of the Motor City (AWMC), one of e-wrestling’s legendary fantasy federations, is back.

Now just to be clear, AWMC is NOT replacing another fantasy wrestling great, Allstar Global Wrestling (AGW). AGW, which was the name taken by the e-fed formerly known as AWMC, is still its own fed, and the 'new' AWMC is a separate fed with no relation than an old name. The kayfabe line is that AGW honcho Henry Paxson sold Bell the AWMC name with the provision his company stays a Detroit regional. No intention here to slight, disrespect or compete with AGW; it’s a great fed. The ‘new’ AWMC is just a shot at recapturing the fun of the old fed.

Brian Bell has been active in e-wrestling for over six years. Over that time, he’s learned from mistakes and found what works in making a successful fed. Here's a sampling of things we'll be incorporating:

* Size - 25 handlers is the absolute maximum a small fed should have, period. 15-20 is really preferable. If the fed gets a lot of writers, more wrestlers is good, but with a small roster, more people can be active. No one-handler tag teams, though as teams and alliances form, we'll introduce tag titles. We're gunning for a minimum of eight to start. No start date has been set.

* Cards - one card a week to start, maybe 5-6 matches per card, main events in the 10k-15k range, the rest around 4-7k. We want to have a fun, laid back fed where no one is regularly up late at night writing cards or 40k matches. If a card is more than 24 hours late, we'll probably dark or shorten the missing matches and move to the next week. However, it should be noted that the AWMC under Bell had just two late cards in 18 months.

* No flash packets - IMO they encourage laziness. People so often wait for packets to come out, then flash if their opponent does or want to do an in-ring to 'counter' that person. Thus all RPs will be on the card.

* No BS Simple really. If people are assholes, they're gone.

* Titles will likely be decided by two or three guys being randomly chosen for a match. Battle royals suck. :)

Brian will be the fed's booker and makes all decisions. If you're interested, drop him a line at bvbell@kcweb.net. You can bring your established wrestler or a new guy. Either way, thanks for reading all the way through and maybe we'll checkya in AWMC. :D Oh, and feel free to spread the word.
