Avatar's Wrestling School

&nbsp Avatar's Wrestling School was the premiere e-wrestling school that ran between the year 1998-2001. The promotion was owned and run by Jerry Mings & A.Justice Silverchair. Justice controlled the website, features & web development while Mings was the primary instructor and ran the school end of the site. The AWS was hosted on The Dream Wrestling network in it's final year. Wrestlers were graded A, B, C, D, or F on performance, and could graduate from the e-wrestling school. The AWS graduated over 100 e-wrestlers, many of whom went on to become prominent in several different federations.

The AWS had it's roots in a bare bones e-fed called the OFW (Open Forum Wrestling). In that federation, Jerry Mings handeled a character called the critic. When Mings & Justice first met, it was due to Mings' un-wanted critiques on the Silverchair rps. They began arguing within the fed, but soon became quick friends. Under the tuteledge of Mings, SIlverchair became a prominent wrestler in both the IWO & WWR, which were 2 of the more popular federations of the period. After Silverchair had become the last World Champion in the WWR, Mings decided to start an e-wrestling school. He approached Justice to do site design & help with the grading.

After a month, the 2 delegated the seperate roles of instructor & webmaster to each other. Justice re-designed the website on the 8k free server, and added a couple prominent features. He also added The AWS to FWLnet's topsite list which was at the time the most prominent ranking system of e-wrestling related sites. The AWS quickly made number 1 on the top 1000 list, and attracted the attention of several other federation owners. Staying at the #1 spot for a prolonged period cemented the AWS's reign at the top, and Mings' first rate instruction provided the credibility to draw several bids for hosting rights.

Justice ended up accepting hosting from Darren Crouse on ddwww.com, which was Dream wrestling, a prominent network set up for e-wrestling sites, and Darren's own Dream Wrestling e-fed. The AWS added their own top 100 sites list, and was soon garnering 30,000 hits a day. Soon Mings' health was failing, and Justice was getting burnt out. It all came to a head when the sponsorship was canceled due to irregularities in the account, and several thousand dollars of payment was withheld. The AWS was disbanded, and one of the most innovative & prominent sites in e-wrestling was gone forever. The DWF and Darren's Dream Wrestling World soon folded due to similar circumstances as well.
