A twenty count is used if wrestlers are outside the ring.

A five count is used to brake a wrestler from using an illegal hold or move.

It is the discretion of the referee to call a disqualification if a wrestler uses an illegal object or if another wrestler interferes in a match.

If any WeWA Champion (any weight division or tag team) is disqualified, the referee must rule if the champion intentionally caused ones self to be disqualified. In that case the title will change hands. It is solely the discretion of the referee to rule if it was an intentional disqualification.

Language not heard on broadcast television may appear in an roleplay, but only in moderation. Do not abuse this rule. Promoters may have more stringent or lenient rules.

You should refer to that promotion's rules and adhere to those when posting on regional roleplay boards. Roleplays should not contain the characters of any other person's wrestler(s), promoter(s), WeWA Office Staff, or other WeWA related characters without their prior permission or the permission of the WeWA Chairman.

Said wrestler may give notice to his home booking office and select a new home booking office provided he fulfills all his scheduled matches.

A promoter has the option to book said wrestler for up to fifteen (15) days from date of notice given. After such time said wrestler may begin wrestling full-time for his new home office.

Each wrestler may have one home promotion, but may actively compete in two WeWA regions.

Scheduled matches are defined as matches published either on a website or via email.

If a wrestler fails to give proper notification of his intent to leave a promotion, said promoter has the right to book said wrestler for up to thirty (30) days before removing him from his roster. Which means that said wrestler will probably get jobbed at the discretion of the promoter.

Each wrestler has the option to terminate his contract with a promoter if said promoter fails to provide wrestler with a minimum of two (2) matches per sixty (60) days. Said wrestler is under no obligation to appear and said promoter is prohibited from booking said wrestler upon this breech of contract.

The Pagano Cup dates back to June 2001. Two months after Steve Pagano's death at the hands of cystic fibrosis. Fighting hard to stay alive and living two years past the date doctors had given him, he finally succumbed to the disease on Thursday April 19, 2001, he was 31 years old. Being notified by email of his passing by his mother, the efed world was forever changed as a great mind was taken from us.

In June with the help of Adam Wemp, William Tocci, and many others, we banded together in memory of our friend to create a Memorial event. After four years of going unrecognized, the WCCW returned and brought with it the Steven W. Pagano Memorial Cup. With the creation of the WeWA and WCCW being owned by the same people at that time, The Pagano Cup was moved from a regional event to an Alliance event.

Rest In Peace Steven W. Pagano. We Miss You.

WeWA Championships are available for booking through the Booking Committee. The Booking Committee will produce a calender based on the requests made each month. Scheduling a champion is done through the Monthly Status Report. If you do not send in a report, you will not get a title shot. Promoters should notify the Booking Committee with the Date, Event Name, and Challenger (if known). All requests must be made a month in advance. For example, if you want a shot at the Tag titles in June, you have to request it at the beginning of May. This is done so that the Booking Committee has the time to create the calendar and work with the Championship Committee on any angles or storylines that may be involved in the match or may arise from its results.

Promoters must inform the Championship Committee of any relevant information regarding a WeWA Title Match, including roleplay and strategy deadlines. The Committee will review the information and have the winner chosen two (2) days prior to the scheduled match. If the Promoter fails to post the result to the website within 48 hours(2 Days) of the show date, then the match will be deemed a no contest.

5.2 WeWA Championship Contracts:

WeWA Champions are contracted for one (1) calendar month, starting with the month in which they win a WeWA Championship, to appear at WeWA events and/or WeWA member promotions' events.

Upon loss of WeWA Championship status, wrestler is still bound to the end of that calendar month in which the loss occurred. If the loss occurs within the last seven (7) days of a calendar month, the WeWA has the option to renew the contract for one (1) additional calendar month.

The WeWA also reserves the right to book matches with said wrestler for up to thirty (30) days from the date the WeWA decides that a wrestler has failed to give proper notification.

The WeWA may assign a new handler for the wrestler that fails to give proper notification.

5.3 WeWA Champions:

Champions are expected to make themselves accessible to all promoters within the alliance in order to defend their title in all applicable territories and are under no restrictions as to the number of regional promotions they may appear at.

5.31 Regional Championship Defenses:

Set up through the Championship Calender, these are the title defenses made by the WeWA Champions that happens in each region. Promoters are in charge of who faces the champion, as he is to tell the Booking Committee so that these defenses may happen.

Champions are expected to roleplay on the regional Roleplay Board and WeWA World Roleplay Board before each match, whether title or non-title. In the case of a title match, failure to do so may result in a title change.

Champions are required to Roleplay on the WeWA World Roleplay Board a minimum of once per month in addition to any roleplays for PPV or regional title defenses. All wrestlers must also roleplay on the special events board if selected for a PPV event. They need not roleplay there otherwise. Prior notice of a problem must be given to the Board of Directors to provide an exception to this rule.

5.32 WeWA Pay-Per-View Championship Defenses:

WeWA Champions are expected to defend their title at each WeWA PPV and to roleplay heavily for any PPV title defenses on the WeWA General Roleplay Board as well as the PPV specific Board. The WeWA Board of Directors may exempt a champion from a title defense on a PPV.

5.33 WeWA Special Event Championship Defenses:

WeWA Champions are not expected to defend their title at the WeWA Special Events, unless otherwise booked by the Booking Committee. Any title defense on a Special Event is expected to be roleplayed for heavily on the WeWA World Roleplay Board and the Special Event specific Board.

5.4 Other Championships:

All WeWA Champions can hold any regional title they wish, they can however vacate their regional title if they choose to in order to concentrate on their WeWA Championship.

WeWA singles champions will be prohibited from holding any other WeWA title. If any WeWA Champion defeats another WeWA Champion for the title, they must immediately vacate one of the two titles they hold straight after the bout has occurred.

In case this happens, let the Championship Committee know which title you want to drop or you will lose both.

5.5 WeWA Championship Defense Rule:

Champions are expected to defend their titles at least once every thirty (30) days. If at any time a champion is not able to defend his/her title, the title will be vacated.

5.6 Home Booking Office Participation:

Champions are expected to stay active in their home booking office they were contracted to, under the full-time contract rule, before they captured a WeWA Championship. When scheduling appearances, the home booking office shall receive first priority. Champions may change their home booking office provided they give proper notification and fulfill all scheduled matches before leaving.

5.7 WeWA Title Changes:

Winning a WeWA Championship is based on six different factors, unlike regional promotion championships. Regional titles are controlled solely by the regional promoter and they may base title changes on any format they so desire.

WeWA titles are decided much differently. The WeWA Championship Committee usually determines title changes based on the following criteria:
1) Champion's Recent Performance.
2) Challenger's Recent Performance.
3) Roleplays of the Champion
4) Roleplays of the Challenger.
5) Any angles or storylines that might be present.
6) Both competitors sent in a strat.

Title changes are not based solely on roleplays. Doing so could result in the World Championship changing hands several times each week. This is not good for the wrestlers or the organization. The World eWrestling Alliance runs, and functions similarly to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Much like the NWA, titles are influenced by running storylines and angles.

However the WeWA will strive to be as fair and as honest as possible and it is possible to win a WeWA title on any given night. It usually takes several attempts to capture a WeWA title, just like in the real world.

Wrestlers need to campaign for titles. This includes challenging champions on their promotion's roleplay board, on the WeWA World Roleplay Board, getting their promoter to "push" them into championship status, and of course, demonstrating an exceptional ability to roleplay.

WeWA Front Office Information:

6.0 Strategy Forms:

In order to allow you to be more involved in your characters matches, we accept strategy forms. You can find the form on the World Boards, in any event area. For pay-per-views OR WeWA title matches, the failure to submit a strategy form will result in your character losing the match. The same is true of an improperly formatted strategy form. The format is what is used on the shows; the idea is for them to be plugged directly into the show. If you are unsure as to what format, consult with a Board of Directors member.

The WeWA requires that all wrestlers on an alliance show, or in a regional title defense, complete and send a strat form to the Championship Committee by the date set. WeWA Events will always have a deadline for strats that corresponds to the roleplay deadline of the event. If you have a problem with the deadline, feel free to contact a staff member and we will see what we can work out. Regional Title defense strat forms are due at the time set by the promoter.

There are no promises anything you write in a strategy form will be used. However, we will make every effort to insure most of what is submitted will be used. If something is not used, there will be a good reason.

6.1 WeWA World Rankings:

The World Rankings consist of rankings submitted by each promoter in the monthly status report. This information is tallied and then put together each month by the Board of Directors and posted on the main site. These rankings do not include the WeWA Champions as they are above the rankings.

6.2 WeWA Championship Calendars:

The Booking Committee will provide a calendar for all to see which will give the details of when each promotion will receive a WeWA Championship match as requested during the monthly status report. This calendar will tell when the promotion gets a match, who the champion will face, the date of the match, and the event name that the match will appear.

As stated in section 5.1 of this rule book, in order for the promotion to get the title shot the promoter must fill out the Monthly Status Report and give the match information. Otherwise the promotion will get no title shot.

6.3 Rule Changes:

The WeWA Board of Directors may change any rule in this rulebook at any time, with or without the prior permission or consent of any individual or group. Any changes must be followed as if they were in this rulebook from the beginning.
