History Fanfic / TheJWL

* TheGiant: Yes, [[Wrestling/TheBigShow Paul Wight]] himself.

** [[Wrestling/TheBigShow The Giant]] and the Stranger were billed from there, as is [=Kane=] today.

** Francine fired Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner and Wrestling/{{Sid|Eudy}} from the Franchise Foundation (led by her and Shane Douglas and also including during its existence [[[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl3.html Episode 3]] through [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl49.html Episode 49]]] [=Tazz=], Kane, Justin Credible and Steiner's valet Midajah) for much the same reasons for their failure against [=Benoit=] and against the Dungeon of Doom ([=JWL=] version: Wrestling/{{Kamala}}, [[Wrestling/JohnTenta Earthquake]], [[Wrestling/TheBigShow The Giant]], the Yeti, "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus and the [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwltitles.html JWL World Tag Team Champions]] the Faces of Fear [Meng and the Barbarian], with managers Wrestling/KevinSullivan, Wrestling/JimmyHart and [[Wrestling/KingCurtisIaukea the Master]]).

* {{Acrofatic}}: Wrestling/BamBamBigelow, [[Wrestling/{{Vader}} Big Van Vader]], Wrestling/TheBlueMeanie, Wrestling/HughMorrus

* TournamentArc: Currently on the third one. The first was the [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwltitles.html JWL World Tag Team Title Tournament]] which ran from [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl24.html Episode 24]] through ''[[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwlwm1.html JWL [=WrestleMania=] I]]''. The second was the JWL World Heavyweight Title Tournament which ran from [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl54.html Episode 54]] through ''[[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwlvengeance1.html JWL Vengeance I]]''. The JWL World Heavyweight Title Tournament that was created in response to Jack Swagger getting fired started on [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl76.html Episode 76]].

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Elijah Burke, who had a brief feud with Taz and then disappeared, never to be mentioned again.[[note]]The non-{{Kayfabe}} reason: Reading about an injury he had suffered that would have supposedly forced him to retire, followed by his debut in Wrestling/{{TNA}} as "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero. TruthInTelevision, since this tended to happen to people (Paul Varelans, Joel Hartgood) who faced [=Taz=] in [=ECW=] in RealLife.[[/note]]

* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Khosrow Daivari, currently the manager of Daivari International, which includes [[Wrestling/VladimirKozlov "The Moscow Mauler" Vladimir Kozlov]] w[=/=]"The UsefulNotes/{{Lithuania}}n Sensation" [=Aksana=] and Trevor Murdoch, who was 1/2 of the JWL World Tag Team Champions with the late Lance Cade.

* TeamSwitzerland: [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl38.html Episode 38]] started with Wrestling/LunaVachon and [[Wrestling/DavidHeath Gangrel]] chasing Wrestling/{{Sable}}, [[Characters/WWENewGeneration Marc The Bodyguard (Marc Mero under a mask)]] and Wrestling/TorrieWilson through the arena. [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwltitles.html JWL Women's Champion]] Wrestling/MollyHolly successfully defended her title against [[http://wowe.com WOW Women Of Wrestling]] alumna Poison. As Molly was celebrating the win with the fans, Luna, Gangrel, Sable and her entourage suddenly barged into the scene. Poison woke up and joined her The Misfits stablemates Luna and Gangrel in the chase. Molly had no stake in the feud, and nobody asked her for help, so she could only stand and watch with a slight amusement.

* ShoutOut: The (non-existent) dark (non-televised) "match" before [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl35.html Episode 35]] was [[Series/SaturdayNightLive the Festrunk Brothers defeating the Butabi Brothers]].

** [[Series/{{Route66}} Get Your Kicks on Episode 66]]

** [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl45.html Episode 45]] started with Trish Stratus firing everyone from her PowerStable Stratusfaction Inc. (Wrestling/{{Test}}, Albert, Val Venis, Wrestling/{{Kanyon}} and Lance Storm) for their lack of success against the Four [=Horsemen=] (Wrestling/RicFlair, Wrestling/ArnAnderson, Chris Benoit, Wrestling/DeanMalenko and manager [[Characters/WWEDivas Terri Runnels]]).

** Jerry Lawler's heart attack led to the scrapping of an angle that would have involved his real-life ex-wife [[Characters/WWEDivas the Kat]] debuting and affiliating herself with the former Hardcore Alliance, Balls Mahoney, Masato Tanaka and [[Wrestling/TooColdScorpio 2 Cold Scorpio]], against Lawler's PowerStable the Royals (The Rock, [=Christian=], and the Royal Assassins [Randy Orton and Dave Batista]). See AbortedArc above.

'''The JWL''' was a ProfessionalWrestling FanFiction series written by Tropers/{{JIKTV}}. It takes existing wrestlers, in some cases with new [[TheGimmick gimmicks]], and sets them in the eponymous promotion. It has been running for a decade, give or take some gaps. It is available [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/fanfictions.html here]]. It has had 80 TV episodes and 6 [=PPV=]s. It is slightly AlternateUniverse because, while it focuses on wrestlers/managers/valets from Wrestling/{{WWE}}, Wrestling/{{WCW}}, Wrestling/{{ECW}} and others, it features in some cases gimmicks or alliances that do or did not exist.

''The JWL'' is a ScriptFic presenting itself as a regular wrestling show. There's no shipping, smut, or episodes without it. Often the content of the episodes reflects real life wrestling happenings. See the RealLifeWritesThePlot section for more.

-->'''PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY''': "Mr. World Cup, I am going to dedicate this next chokeslam to every American boy and girl who has ever had to play your [[AmericansHateTingle stupid, boring, uneventful, idiotic, and, in every sense of the word, POINTLESS so-called sport."]]

* TakeThat: Using Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon as "Aldo Montoya," Wrestling/EricBischoff as "Kwang",[[note]]a rip on Bischoff's alleged martial-arts expertise[[/note]] Wrestling/VinceRusso as "Doink the Clown",[[note]]a deliberately [[FlatCharacter flat, characterless]] version[[/note]] [[Characters/WWECommentators Jonathan Coachman]] as "Wrestling/TheGobbledyGooker", and Diva Search contestants Christy Hemme, Carmella [=DeCesare=], Joy Giovanni and Michelle [=McCool=] as Series/{{Total|Divas}} {{Jobber}}s.

At present, the [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwltitles.html JWL World Heavyweight Title]] is vacant due to [[Wrestling/JackSwagger Jacob "Jack Swagger" Hager]] being fired for his pot/speeding/DUI arrest, and the JWL Women's Title and the JWL World Tag Team Titles are also vacant.

!!!Tropes Associated with ''The JWL'' (InUniverse):

* AuthorAvatar: In the service of a TakeThat, [[Wrestling/PaulHeyman Paul E. Dangerously]], on [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl64.html "Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I'm Episode 64?"]]. [[Wrestling/AlPoling 911]] had just {{Squash|Match}}ed Mr. [[TheWorldCup World Cup]] (Ken "Kenny Dykstra" Doane, aka Kenny from the Spirit Squad, in generic soccer gear with his face painted like a soccer ball). After the match, the fans chanted "One more time! One more time!"

* TakeThat: Using [[Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon Shane [=McMahon=]]] as "Aldo Montoya," Wrestling/EricBischoff as "Kwang"[[note]]a rip on Bischoff's alleged martial-arts expertise[[/note]], Wrestling/VinceRusso as "Doink the Clown"[[note]]a deliberately [[FlatCharacter flat, characterless]] version[[/note]], [[Characters/WWECommentators Jonathan Coachman]] as "Wrestling/TheGobbledyGooker", and Diva Search Idiots Christy Hemme, Carmella [=DeCesare=], Joy Giovanni and Michelle [=McCool=] as total {{Jobber}}s.

* {{Badass}}: Wrestling/{{Meng}}, Wrestling/TheBarbarian, Wrestling/MasatoTanaka, Big Van Vader, Wrestling/{{Taz|z}}, Bam Bam Bigelow...

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/ShaneDouglas, Wrestling/JeffJarrett, Wrestling/{{Christian}}
** BlondesAreEvil: Wrestling/TrishStratus, Wrestling/{{Sable}}, [[Wrestling/TerriPoch Tori (Terri Poch)]]

The focus of ''The JWL'' is WRESTLING. This isn't SlashFic[=/=]{{Lemon}}[=/=]{{Lime}} material, or storylines involving wrestlers with no ring in sight. It is written in a script format.

* 1.'''NO MEN HITTING WOMEN.'''[[note]]The closest I have come to this was on [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl8.html Episode 8]], during the Perfect Team ([[Wrestling/CurtHennig "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig]] and Wrestling/KurtAngle, w[=/=][[Wrestling/BobBacklund Mr. Bob Backlund]]) vs. the Misfits (Perry Saturn and Crowbar, w[=/=]Daffney Unger) match. Daffney had jumped onto Backlund's shoulders for the [=Frankenscreamer=], and Backlund had shoved her down to the mat. As this was purely ''defensive'' rather than a deliberate attack, it did not violate the rule.[[/note]]

Finally, a warning: [[WriterOnBoard My personal biases]] toward/against certain people may come through at times. I really don't want to have to explain it all again.

* InMemoriam: Started with "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig on [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl9.html Episode 9]] and, sadly, many times since.
** TheDeadHaveNames: As an example, [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl63.html Episode 63]] started with ''24'' wrestlers' faces/names appearing on the screen.
*** These kinds of long lists can also be due to how long it can take me to put together a show.

* 2. '''NO''' [[Wrestling/DustyRhodes Dusty Finishes]], "Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob finishes," no ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} IX''[=/=][[Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank [=MITB=]]] run-in finishes.

** Later that same night, there was a tag match that was originally scheduled as the Royal Assassins (Wrestling/RandyOrton and [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Dave Batista]], w/manager Wrestling/JerryLawler) vs. Balls Mahoney and Mike Awesome. Before the match, Orton started cutting a promo about "killing legends"[[note]]Lawler's PowerStable the Royals were in a feud with the [[Characters/{{ECW}} Hardcore Alliance]], which included Mahoney and Awesome, and Batista had defeated Awesome at [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwlgab1.html JWL The Great American Bash I]][[/note]], and Orton's mic went out and a "WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties" message came up on the screen. When the show came back, Mahoney said that what Orton had said "was a load of crap." He then brought out his replacement partner, Masato Tanaka.

** Francine fired Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner and Sid from the Franchise Foundation (led by her and Shane Douglas and also including during its existence [[[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl3.html Episode 3]] through [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl49.html Episode 49]]] [=Tazz=], Kane, Justin Credible and Steiner's valet Midajah) for much the same reasons for their failure against [=Benoit=] and against the Dungeon of Doom ([=JWL=] version: Wrestling/{{Kamala}}, [[Wrestling/JohnTenta Earthquake]], [[Wrestling/TheBigShow The Giant]], the Yeti, "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus and the [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwltitles.html JWL World Tag Team Champions]] the Faces of Fear [Meng and the Barbarian], with managers Wrestling/KevinSullivan, Wrestling/JimmyHart and [[Wrestling/KingCurtisIaukea the Master]]).
