RULES OF THE UNDERGROUND

THE UNDERGROUND HISTORY
The Under Ground history of North Eastern Pennsylvania is a rather odd of young, hungry wrestling hopefuls who would secretly meet in warehouses or music clubs of North Eastern PA and do battle in front of crowds of dozens friends and family. The Underground circuit was dangerous and injury-ladden, prompting an Athletic Commission shut down of all activities early on in 2002.
Heavily influenced by breakout independent company, ECW, the underground wrestlers used tables, chairs, fire, and barbed wire to wear down and mutilate their opponents, creating a sinister blend of hardcore with the high flying that was popular among many wrestlers.
When the Underground scene was finally laid out by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission for its illegal acts of organized violence earlier this year, many wrestlers flocked to World Star Wrestling to continue their careers the right way and brought their brutal and intruiging ways with them..

THE DIFFERENCE
The difference between the Underground Wrestlers and the World Star Veterans are noticeable when it comes to the matches. The Under Ground crew like the throw the rules out of the window and tend to be a bit more ornate and aggressive in the ring as opposed to the intelligent and powerful wrestlers before them.

THE COMPROMISE
WSW saw that the two separate styles would clash and create far too much conflict in the WSW locker room. To accommodate everyone, WSW has decided to establish a separate division and title for the former Under Ground stars until they can proove that they are ready to stand toe to toe with the veteran stars of World Star Wrestling.

THE RULES
As with all wrestling and all sports, the Under Ground division will be governed by a series of rules. Below are a list of major rules.

1. All wrestlers must undergo or have undergone a complete training course.
- This rule is for the safety of all UG wrestlers, WSW, and the fans. We wish no harm to come to our promotion's reputation. We wish no harm to come to our wrestlers that could be avoided by learning to do things the right way. We wish no harm to come to our fans due to the recklessness of the wrestlers.

2. All matches are subject to a referee's discretion.
- If a match spills to the outside, there is no set time limit that the wrestlers must abide by to return to the ring, it is the wrestlers' responsibility to keep the action in the ring. If the Referee feels that the wrestlers are not trying to keep the majority of the action in the ring, he may call for a count out.
- The wrestlers are allowed to use foreign objects but are expected to primarily wrestle. If a competitor, or both competitors choose to not wrestle and only use weapons, it is the Referee's Discretion to end the match and disqualify one, or both opponents.
- The Referee may choose to throw in the towel for any competitor if he feels that the competitor may no longer continue and award his opponent a knock out victory. If such a victory occurs, the losing opponent is entitled to call for a rematch on the following event.

3. Sportsmanship Rules
- All matches are to begin and end with a handshake. All Under Ground wrestlers are to respect the sportsmanship of their opponents and the wrestling business. They are to realize that they are not out to prove any point other than that they deserve to be called professional wrestlers and professional athletes.
- Chokes, eye gouges, hair pulling, and low blows are grounds for immediate disqualification at the discretion at the referee. Those actions are not seen as sportsmanlike and WSW's UG division holds a 1-warning, no tolerance policy.

4. Under Ground Title
- The Under Ground Title is the symbol of Sportsmanship, Hard work, and survival. The championship committee awards competitors title shots on the virtues by which the Under Ground division was created. It is a reward and symbol to honor the must sportsmanlike competitors and to provide incentive to abide by the rules.

5. No Discrimination
- The WSW Under Ground division is NOT limited to only those who have a history in the NEPA Under Ground. The WSW Under Ground Division is open to any competitor who feels that he or she could seriously compete in the highly brutal division and honor the laws and sportsmanship of the NEPA Under Ground Legacy.
