In Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) or any related e-federation that may use the Promo and Voting method, a cycle is a portion of time in which the e-federation is in session between pay-per-view events. It generally consists of four brand shows concluded by a pay-per-view to complete the cycle. It takes four cycles to complete a season.
As of May 2011, 17 cycles have been completed in LPW history.
