General Guidelines of New Generation Wrestling
1] This is an Angle based fed. Promos and Character Development are used to drive the story. Winners are determined beforehand by staff, with the input of handlers in some cases, with an end result leading to the climax of a story or a pay-per-view show. Staff work to make sure that all handlers are given a fair chance at having their character look strong and important, even when in a losing situation. You may not win every match or come out of a story being the better opponent, but we will work to make sure that you have your time to shine. We will push people based upon what the staff feels as compelling storylines and angles. There is NO favoritism, and we are always looking towards a new, unique character to become established and have a run towards a title or big angle. The idea of to build great story arcs, and to make sure that every character has great air time and is developed.
2] Handler effort is weighed when deciding on stories. If a handler gives great effort that goes above and beyond what others may do, they may reap some benefits of that. On the other hand, a handler that does the bare minimum will not be penalized at all; they will get a fair shake at championships, stories, and wins. Handlers that put in more effort with stories or their character may be featured more prominently in stories, angles, or with wins. Again, this is not a competition, but we want to show appreciation for those that drive the story further.
3] This is a Bi-Weekly fed with an episode of Dissension taking place every other Sunday at 11:00pm Eastern Time. Pay-per-views will take place after every fifth Dissension Sunday. NGW is re-branded from Redemption Wrestling, but follows the lineage of Anzac, NGSE, IPW, Alpha Rising, and Redemption. There will be storylines that tie all four companies together after the hiatus of the original three. You are required to post one On-Camera Promo; beyond that, it is up to you to write additional Promos or Character Developments. Again, effort beyond the minimum is rewarded with more opportunities. Storylines are typically developed through the next pay-per-view at a minimum and will be built like real life wrestling companies. If a person decides to leave the fed, their character will be used to finish out the storyline as this is an angled based fed and the story is what ultimately matters.
4] Results will be posted by Monday night, the day after the deadline in most cases. Segments to further the story are encouraged, but some will also be written involving characters. Angle based feds have an important trust in the staff to handle the character properly, and if any issues should arise, please contact staff to handle private and to better use your character.
5] This is NOT a competitive based fed. So a person may roleplay in a manner that is not as good as yours, either in terms of quality or quantity of words, and still win. Winners and losers are determined to help drive a story. In the end, your character may end up losing but we work to make a compelling story while also working to make your character still look strong. The point is not to job a character out, and to give a fun and relaxing atmosphere to allow for more Character Development and Driven stories without having to worry about judging against your opponent. This is a place where everyone of all experiences can have fun.
6] Please DO NOT use the likeness of other characters from outside of the fed. Do not use their image. Do not use the logos of other companies/feds in your work. You can mention other feds by name or other characters outside of the fed by name, but refrain from using graphics depicting them or their company. This rule is at the discretion of the fedhead to enforce. If a character or fed complains about you using their stuff without their approval, you will get one warning. A second occurrence and you will be released. If a person from outside of the fed appears in your work (RP, CD, Segment) please make sure that you have their approval. Again, one warning. A second occurrence will result in being released if you do not have their approval.
West Coast Genesis
1] The same Guidelines apply for WCG except that it is a monthly fed that hosts Hype once a month. Between episodes, there is an episode of Unscripted which people CAN roleplay for if they so choose. Otherwise, it is ran the same way.

Rules of NGW and WCG
1] One face per character. This means that two characters cannot BOTH use John Cena as a face, for example. If an existing character has a face that you like or normally use, message them to see if a deal can be worked out. It is first come, first serve. You CANNOT use a picbase that is being used in West Coast Genesis.
2] Created characters only, we do handle any real people or characters here. This is a FICTIONAL company, and we would like to be able to create freely and allow our talent to do so as well.
3] Some Promo/RP Guidelines: No racism, bigotry, sexism, etc... basically do not use your character to use an agenda. We allow characters some freedom (i.e. an Anti-American character or a character that thinks they are better than others) but let's keep it civil. The admins have the right to end any character or angle for this time of promo. Also, don't copy others from this or any eFed.
4] You can submit segments/interviews for any given card, or if you have an idea for an angle. Please message an admin.
5] Be smart, have fun.
6] There is no word limits or Promo limits. We just ask that you stay involved, post at least one On-Camera Promo per show by the Sunday 11:00pm Eastern Deadline.
7] We have a limit of 4 characters per handler. This is more than some feds, but because this is a Character and Story Driven fed, we allow for more freedom. Just make sure to promo with them for each show.

History of NGW
Redemption Wrestling is tied into three previous promotions under the Devlin Scott banner; New Generation Wrestling, Indy Pro Wrestling, and Alpha Rising.
NGW
Originally founded as New Generation Wrestling (NGW) [formerly known as NGSE], the company began in the early 2000s as a local training facility in the Akron, Ohio area by former local amateur wrestler turned professional wrestler, LC Jackson. Jackson was able to help train those off the street that had dreams and aspirations of Professional Wrestling. After some financial struggles for the semi-retired wrestler turned trainer, a hotshot tech mogul named Devlin Scott crossed paths with Jackson. Scott had long been a fan of professional wrestling, and can recall matches in which LC Jackson was wrestling in Scott's hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Scott saw an opportunity to get involved in a sport that he loved for so many years, and a chance to work with an idol of his. After a bit of a rocky start, the school became popular in the Great Lakes region and saw talent coming from all around. Jump forward to 2015, Scott wanted to take their idea on step further and started what is now known as NGW, New Generation Wrestling. After purchasing Anzac Pro Wrestling, the former NGSE became what was known as NGW. In late 2015, NGW purchased a building in Youngstown, Ohio and have named is the New Generation Factory. This location serves as a training facility both for new and existing talent. A NGW Showcase event was hosted there, and later, Alpha Rising.
IPW
In early January 2016, a weekly professional wrestling operation closed its doors abruptly leaving a hole in the industry. Charles James II (also known professionally as Dead Eye) was a part of this company and approached Devlin Scott knowing that this business venture could be a big one. With the upfront cash of Devlin Scott and the professional drive of Charles James, II they opened the doors of Indy Pro Wrestling. As of March 2016, Charles James has exited the position due to suffering an in-ring injury with former wrestler Hayden Phoenix taking over Indy Pro and the day-to-day activities.
The weekly show "Conflict" was quite popular among its fanbase.
Alpha Rising
Alpha Rising was created in May 2016 as a developmental brand to help train new stars and rookies that are just getting into the business or are still green. The talent can develop and build themselves up to the rosters of either Indy Pro Wrestling or New Generation Wrestling, or they can maintain their position within Alpha Rising indefinitely. The NGW Factory in Youngstown, Ohio is the set location for Alpha Rising shows, with occasional Pay-Per-Views taking place outside of the area. NGW and Indy Pro talent may often make guest appearances in the promotion as well.
Redemption Wrestling
In August of 2016, Devlin Scott was forced to close the doors of his three companies temporarily due to an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and Internal Revenue Service as misappropriations of funds had taken place. After some investigation, it was determined that a Chief Financial Officer had altered documents and embezzled some of the funds for himself. The person is being charged with multiple crimes, but it was determined that Devlin Scott had nothing to do with this. After some rethinking of what had happened, Devlin decided to take it upon himself and in a sense offer a successor to the three feds, Redemption Wrestling. A global brand using the combined elements of the previous three companies, Devlin Scott would be more hands on with the day-to-day activities and the financial side of things.
Sunday Night Glory took place on FXX at 11PM Eastern Time. With Pay-Per-Views taking place live in iPPV.
West Coast Genesis
West Coast Genesis comes as the success of Redemption Wrestling reaches new heights. The original idea was with Alpha Rising to be a developmental brand to NGW and IPW, and the idea continues with WCG. The promotion will travel up and down the West Coast, with a homebase in Southern California. Devlin Scott invites new wrestlers and experienced wrestlers alike; allowing for a mix of rookies and those with experience that are looking to re-tool or to finally find that big break. The company travels with one date per month, Unscripted live episodes, and PPVs. Initially, the company will tour Southern California but will brand out as popularity for the brand grows.
Former Indy Pro star Kaylee Kassie runs the brand.
The Rebirth of NGW
In September of 2017, Devlin Scott re-branded Redemption Wrestling into the Rebirth of NGW. He was able to get back all of the names, logos, and assets of the three previous companies. With the re-brand, NGW was born again.
