LPW Wiki:About


 * Main article: Lords of Pain Wrestling

The LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia (or LPW Wiki for short) is the official wiki database for Lords of Pain Wrestling, an ongoing resource to document the past, present and future of the e-LPW community in all aspects.

The LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia was founded on February 24, 2009 by Spriggins, the former head writer of the Insanity brand and handler of the Krimson Mask and Little Red Riding Hood characters.

History of LPW Wiki
The LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia was founded on February 24, 2009 by Spriggins. It's creation came about due to the goal of providing information about the LPW product to veterans and rookies alike. Content was previously started on the eWrestling Encyclodedia (nicknamed eWiki), but due to lack of organization and the broad scope of such a site, the decision was made to focus LPW Wiki efforts on this website. All contributions of LPW from the eWiki was transferred to the LPW Wiki and improved.

Mission statement
The goal and mission of the LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia is to, over time, become a full picture of the LPW universe. Hopefully, with the help of the handlers themselves, the e-wrestlers of today can be fully covered, along with the vast history the hobby has become for many participants. The ability for everybody to contribute will, hopefully, result in factually correct, solid information never before available to the community at the click of a mouse.

Some of the things which the LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia hopes to cover are:


 * Past and present wrestlers, managers, tag teams, staff members and other characters.
 * The handlers behind the characters (which have their own area of the Wiki).
 * Anything else which can be written about - title belts, major events, tournaments.

The LPW Wiki will not succeed without your contributions, and your help. To be a success and a clinical part of e-wrestling, as many contributors as possible need to write about themselves and even others to make this the most complete LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia yet.

 * Q: What's in it for me?
 * A: The LPW Wiki won't be able to pay or reward you for your contributions. However, the idea that this will be a resource in five years time to see information that is otherwise hard to obtain should be enough for any good editor to be happy to contribute. Without eWE, many handlers and federations will be forgotten, as over time the face of e-wrestling changes and leaves behind its past.
