(Note: My GWWF is made up mostly of official CotG characters, although it does contain a few bootlegs created by me and by other promoters. The following article is from the end of the year 2110.)
NEW COMMISSIONER INTRODUCED AT GWWF AWARDS BANQUET
The eighth annual GWWF Achievement Awards Banquet was held at the Triton Municipal Auditorium of Neptune on December 14, 2110. In attendance was the federation’s entire roster of active wrestlers , as well as GWF Commissioner Morpheus, former GWF Commissioner Omega, former GWWF Commissioners Torin Caelum and Reynard B. Guile, USWF Commissioner Grogan, Max Shield, Wolf, Blade, Johnny Rocket, Paragon, Lance At-Las, and various other GWF personalities, as well as a few of the female wrestlers from the USWF.
“Welcome, everyone, to our annual celebration,” Carter began. “I am happy to be here to honor our accomplishments for 2110. And as you all know, this will be my final year as GWWF commissioner, so we have a very special announcement to make this evening.
“Before we make that announcement, we are happy to present this year’s achievement awards. We had a great year in many ways, with some terrific performances. But the award decisions this year were pretty clear-cut, and I am sure that the winners are no surprise to anyone.”
Carter then presented the following awards:
Wrestler of the Year: Hunger
Hunger wins this award for the second straight year. Although her overall record was only 10-7 in 2110, she managed to hold the GWWF championship for the entire year, so no one could reasonably debate her claim to the award.
Runners-up: 1. Amazonia (a 15-7 record and hounded Hunger all year, but could not quite manage to take the title away. Also won the Queen’s Challenge Singles Tournament for the first time); 2. Sniper (a fine 12-8 record and nearly took the title from Hunger at the year’s end).
Tag Team of the Year: The Hellions
Once again an easy decision, since the Hellions have held the rarely-defended tag team championship since December 2109. Their overall record of 8-3 was also the best in the federation.
Runners-up: 1. Feminine Fury (an 8-5 overall record); 2. Divinity (only an 8-8 record, but won the Queen’s Challenge Tag Team Tournament).
“I have served as GWWF commissioner for five years, and it has been a wonderful experience," Carter stated after the award presentation. “Now, in my final act in this position, I have the pleasure of introducing the new commissioner of the GWWF.
“As you all know, the GWWF is managed by the same executive committee that oversees the GWF. The choice of who should be the new commissioner was therefore in the hands of the executive committee. However, I was asked to make a recommendation regarding the position. I consulted with GWF Commissioner Morpheus, former GWF Commissioner Omega, USWF Commissioner Grogan, and former GWWF Commissioners Caelum and Guile. Our preference for the position was unanimous. In fact, in our view, there is really only one person for the job.
“Many of you know this person. Our new commissioner worked as an executive assistant in the GWWF under Commissioners Caelum and Guile as well as myself, so she is very familiar with the workings of and the issues facing the federation. Moreover, it is time that our women’s federation had a woman as its commissioner. I therefore am very happy to present the new commissioner of the GWWF; Sandrisa Tralington.”
As the audience applauded, a slender, dark-skinned woman stepped out onto the stage. Most of the members of the audience were familiar with Ms. Tralington, who had earned a reputation as a quiet but talented administrator while working under the previous commissioners in the GWWF office.
“I was to thank the GWF Executive Committee for this opportunity,” the new commissioner said. “I will keep my comments brief today. We all know the threats that are facing not just the GWWF, but all of wrestling. The danger presented by UFSP President Cordanus is very real. However, I am currently working on some arrangements that will help to secure our future.
“First, I am officially reactivating the tag team division which was placed on hold by Commissioner Carter in October. The belts currently held by the Hellions will again be eligible for competition beginning in 2111.
“Second, we are going to present more independent cards next year. We will still continue to present matches on GWF cards, but we will also offer a total of six of our own events, up from three this year.
“Finally, and most importantly, I am currently in negotiations with USWF Commissioner Grogan to establish a stronger connection between our two women’s divisions. I do not want to say too much now, but by January I hope to be able to make an announcement that will benefit not only the GWWF, but the women who wrestle in the USWF as well.”
As Commissioner Tralington finished her remarks, a buzz of conversation and speculation filled the room. The new leadership for the GWWF had clearly taken control, and the once bleak future of women’s wrestling appeared to have more hope than expected.
Note: Sandrisa Tralington is my own creation.
