Game Edition: The End 2110
Synopsis
Here comes trouble. And, that's trouble with a capital "T", folks. The big
cheese himself - President Cordanus - in his campaign to enlighten the
masses, has outlawed all forms of professional wrestling effectively
handing pink slips to the entire GWF (Galactic Wrestling Federation)! This
stunning news sends a proverbial shock wave through the federation.
Some
well-known faces hang up their tights for good. Others swallow their pride
and join the rival CPC. Those who are left take some drastic action.
Boarding a space ship, they rocket off to Dimension Y where the Prez's long
arm of the law can't reach them. The remnants of the GWF settle on the
planet of Centra so they can painstakingly rebuild the GWF from scratch. To
watch over the GWF, Centra's chief military officer and spokesmen -
Corporal Aegis - joins the mat mayhem side by side with several of his
colleagues. The GWF is no more. The Galactic Wrestling Federation Of Centra
(GWFC) is born. GWF's own version of Who Shot J.R.?, also begins here.

Summary
Forget everything you knew about the GWF. In an effort to keep things
fresh, those zany guys at Filsinger Games have turned the game and its
universe upside down in this radical Edition. For first-timers though,
you've gotta a lot of catching up to do and a lot of material to digest. The End 2110 is not meant as a stand alone product so some of the characters mentioned in this Edition are originally from
previous editions and aren't included here.
