7 Worlds of Wrestling

7 Worlds of Wrestling (abbreviated as 7 Worlds) is a fictional setting and multimedia project created by Jordan Neves. It is based on professional wrestling matches that are simulated within Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, a video game for the Sony Playstation 2 developed by Spike Chunsoft.

While it is based on the real world, 7 Worlds is a universe in which Professional Wrestling is an actual combat sport, and not a choreographed athletic performance; the results of matches are not determined by wrestling bookers or promoters, but purely by the participants in the ring.

The titular "7 Worlds" is a reference to the seven different fictional Wrestling Promotions that are the focus of the work: Alpha Championship Wrestling, Top 10 Wrestling, Giant Japan Pro Wrestling, Lucha Libre Globa, Dominion of Champions, Brickwall, and the general sphere of independent promotions known as The Indies. Although the focus of the fiction is on Pro Wrestling, it also encompasses many other combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts.

The real-life history of the project dates back to the year 2014.

Setting
7 Worlds of Wrestling takes place in a world based loosely on real life history and locations - the broad strokes of the world's history mirror ours, including major world events.

Fictional History
Within the fiction of 7 Worlds, wrestling is, as it is in the real world, a sport with a history that goes back millenia. In the 20th century the sport was a popular attraction that garnered large crowds and loyal followings worldwide.

In the 1990s, Mixed Martial Arts began to gain popularity, and the public at large began to wonder who might win in a contest between the world's best Mixed Martial Fighter and the world's best Pro Wrestler. In what is perhaps the most notable event of the fiction, such a contest was arranged. Promoter of American Championship Wrestling Don Johnston approached the most prominent MMA Fighter of the time, Jaco Force, to compete against the then-ACW champion, Sugar Ray Stone. Force was, at the time, undefeated across both MMA and Pro Wrestling, and was considered the greatest fighter in the world; Stone was the most popular and dominant champion in history to that point, and both had shattered box-office records in their various fights and matches. In a match attended by nearly 100,000 and witnessed by many millions more, Stone defeated force and proved the of Professional Wrestling. The two would have a rematch the next year with the same result. These would be Force's only defeats for close to a decade afterward.

The focus of the 7 Worlds narrative is on a time period within the decade of the mid-2000s.
