GWR - Global Wrestling Revolution

== The Beginning==

Global Wrestling Revolution opened it's doors in April 2012.

Created by Liam Knowles with help from his brother Craig, the brothers had successful runs as federation owners between 2003 and 2008 with their award winning e-fed Extreme Wrestling Revolution.

Both of their successful characters Raziel "The Kyokudo One" and Syphon "The Unholy" were instantly placed on the roster.

The first roster member to sign a GWR contract was japanese wrestling star Bryan Spencer. More soon followed.

The GWR weekly shows were giving the name of Uprising. The theme song of which was chosen to be Muse's opus of the same name.

EWR's popular announce team of Rob Anderson and Jimmy Dwyer was brought back behind the commentary table.

The First Shows
GWR held it's first official show at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on the 27th April 2012. The main event of the show was Raziel taking on Bryan Spencer, who was revealed to be the younger sibling of Raziel's former RGW and EWR rival, Waylon Spencer (aka Jason "The Hazard" Hart). The two fought a grueling battle with Bryan Spencer winning three times and each time the match was restarted by the corrupt co-owner of the federation Raziel.

GWR rolled into San Jose with another huge main event, this time pitting Bryan Spencer against Heretic in a match that featured glass, tables and of course, fire. Raziel would interupt this match, burning some prized possessions of Waylon Spencer out at ringside in a heinous move that saw the crowd on the verge of a riot. Raziel however would get a taste of his own medicine after the show after he was strung up by Romeo Damascus, Silencer and The Warlok, a new alliance formed earlier in the night. It was this night in San Jose that saw the debut of 7ft monster Endless for the federation.

The Key Arena in Seattle, Washington was the host of the third GWR show since the opening. This was an extra special night that saw the Revolution Championship on the line between Adrenalin and The Warlok. Or rather, it was meant to be a special night. Many interuptions from various parties ensured that the contest never decided a winner. Elsewhere, while Raziel was supposedly laid up in a hospital bed due to the brutal attack the previous week, he ordered that his brother and fellow co-owner Syphon "The Unholy" would take on his arch nemesis Bryan Spencer one on one. It turned out to be a fantastic match, ended by a double countout when neither man could climb back into the ring after a Syphon Unholy Element from a ladder through the announce table at ringside.

The last show before the first GWR pay per view came live from The Memorial Colliseum in Portland, Oregon. In a surprising opening, Raziel totalled the car of new GWR signing Xander Beck giving him a rude welcome to life in the Revolution. After last weeks ending, this Uprising also saw the commentating debut of Randall "Smashmouth" Marks alongside Jimmy Dwyer.
