CAW Guidelines
All Caws should be realistic with realistic size/weights/heights that correspond with their realistic movesets. Big Super Heavys should not be doing a hurricanas.
Stat Limits – Individual Stat Cap – 95. No one stat should be over 95. No 100s. This will be not be checked upon entering APW, but opponents and viewers will have the opportunity to Test a CAWs stats using channel points to redeem a Stat Test. If the CAW is found to have any stats over 95, their win will be reversed and they will be suspended for 2 weeks on 1st offense. A 2nd offense will be 30 days suspension. A 3rd offense will end their season.
Overall Cap – Each creator can have one main caw that is capped at a 90 overall. For each additional caw, the overall cap will decrease by 5 points.
ex.
1st CAW – 90 overall
2nd CAW – 85 overall
3rd CAW – 80 overall
Don’t worry, your CAW is not locked to these overall limits. Superstar Overall Upgrades will be available via channel points.
*Superstars that competed in 50% or more of season 2 will not have the decreased overall limit for 2nd caws. If you are unsure if your CAW is exempt, please message Jack Blaze on facebook or discord.
Shows & Roster
AlphaProNetwork will produce 2 Main Weekly Shows and 2 preshows. Focused on storytelling, booking driven by promos. Must remain active to stay appearing on shows. New CAWs will get their start on AlphaGen. After charactor development, spots on one of the Main shows can be purchased on stream using Channel Points.
Stampede Wrestling – 11 AM cst Weekly Show -Day TBD
Lakewood Wrestling – 8:00 pm cst Weekly Show – Day TBD
Alpha Gen – will feature new talent and will air before Stampede & Lakewood. No Entrances as these will be dark matches.
Main Show Rosters will be separated on separate accounts. Crossbrand Matches will only be available for crossbrand title matches or prior approval storyline purposes.
Updating Your CAW
One of the best things about wrestling is the attire and gimmick changes that come along with it. You’re always gonna want to change that one move that just isn’t connecting. But…… spending 2 hours updating caws before each show is not a fun time. Therefore, updates will be limited to as follows:
One free update a month and I’ll do that the day before each PLE.
5000 Channel Points – Attire Update Before Next Show
10000 Channel Points – Full Update Before Next Show
Move Sets & Finishers
We all know the cheese when we see it. Knock it off. If you are found to be exploiting the game to gain advantages by using only hard to reverse moves and setting their frequency to often, that is “Cheesing” so the Rule is “No Cheesing”
This is very hard to monitor as it’s sometimes a matter of opinion, but if the majority of the group feels this way about how your CAW is peforming, a member of the team will reach out to discuss.
No Named Finishers in your regular Moveset. I’m not going to go through and make a list but you know what I mean. A superkick is some peoples finishers but it’s also in some peoples regular movesets. However a tombstone piledriver is a Finisher and has always been a finisher.
Protected Finishers
This season we will be introducing protected finishers. One protected finisher per caw will be allowed. To protect a finisher, the creator must purchase the Protect a Finisher using channel points. Once that is done, no caws can use that move in their moveset. The only way they can is if they have the Steal a Finisher payback. It kinda sucks seeing your finisher in someone elses regular moveset. You don’t see stars in the big leagues running around doing other’s finishers all the time. A page on the website will be constructed listing everyone’s finishers after this begins. The first week of the season, Protect a Finisher will only cost 500 channel points. After the first week, the cost will raise to 5000. Keep in mind that you can use any finisher you want but if it is not protected, anyone else can too.
Championships & Divisions
Each caw will be assigned a division to compete in. You are free to request a change to your division at anytime via channel points or for no channel points after winning a title in the current division you are in. If you change divisions, you will forfeit any title rematch that you may have earned. Rematches are not automatic. You must have at least one successful title defense before the rematch clause is added to your title reign. Moving division will move you to the bottom of the new divisions rankings. Rankings will be used to book #1 contender matches. Superstars will only be allowed to hold two titles. If they win a 3rd, the bottom tier one will be vacated.

Sportsmanship
APW is a place where creators can see their creations come to life Live on Twitch and via promos on various social media platforms. Please remember this is meant to be an enjoyable place. Not a place for you to bring your bullshit. We all have real life stuff going on. We all want to see our caws succeed and we all want to see a good show. I do my best to provide an entertaining show with no real life drama. Personal attacks, raging, constant arguing are not welcome in APW. This season, there will be No Tolerance for these types of behaviors. With that being said, if you have an issue with someone’s caw, feel free to challenge their stats. If you have an issue with losing, sorry shit happens. If you have an issue with booking, Not sorry as I book for the overall quality of the show, not for one person.
