Wrestling wouldn't be wrestling with some twists and turns, so here are the rules of the game! Because like some promoter we know, I can do whatever I want!

Official SHL Wrestling Rules ( Subject To Change )

- The SHL World Championship is given to the points scoring leader and will change hands only if a lead change takes place.
- The SHL North American Championship is awarded to the points-scoring leader on a weekly basis.
- The SHL Four Star Cup is awarded to the SMJHL points-scoring leader on a weekly basis.
- The SHL Challenge Champion is awarded to the SHL points-scoring leader on a weekly basis. Thus, while the World Championship will compile the stats through the season, the North American title will reset every week.
- If a wrestler has most points for more than one Championship, the second title will be awarded to the second points leader of the second title. if the second leader has a belt, the winner will be the third points-scoring leader. This there will no longer be 'Darby2Belts'.
Rule Update - Claude L'Castor being the only goalie, will have his wins and losses together + 10 points ( Was + 5 ) tallied in order to make things interesting. Also, because Kevin Owens is right, fight me.
NEW Rule - Defensemen are given + 5 points to their tally in order to spice things up and make them ore competitive. Because I can!

What is a wrestling show without some news and rumors, eh? Am I right? So THIS... IS THE NEEEEEEEEEWS!!

Joe Primeau Reportedly Developing His Own Video Game
Joe Primeau, Vancouver’s electrifying right-winger, is rumored to be working on a hockey-themed video game titled "Primeau's Puck Adventures." Insiders describe it as a blend of fast-paced hockey action and open-world exploration where players can manage their team, solve locker room mysteries, and even start a band. Primeau teased the project by saying, "It’s like SHL meets GTA, but with fewer penalties, and murders."

Rumor - It is said that Joe was in attendance during TNA's latest Pay-Per-View 'Genesis' over the weekend where Joe Hendry became the new TNA World Champion! A picture is floating online with the two of them side-by-side and fans are wondering if it wasn't photoshopped since the two of them look so much alike!

Claude L'Castor to Face a Robot Goalie in Special Exhibition Match
Nevada Battleborn’s star goalie Claude L’Castor has reportedly agreed to a bizarre exhibition match where he will face off against “GoalBot 9000”—a state-of-the-art robotic goalie built by a tech company in Silicon Valley. The company claims the robot is "unbeatable," but L'Castor is confident he can score: "They may have AI, but I’ve got Canadian instincts." Tickets for the event sold out within minutes.

Darby Reznor to Host Extreme Sports Festival in Maine
Darby Reznor is taking his love of adrenaline to the next level by organizing an "Extreme Ice Sports Festival" in Maine, featuring events like "Hockey Snowboard Races," "Zamboni Stunts," and an Ice Cage Match. Reznor himself is expected to compete in a death-defying "Puck Jump" where he’ll attempt to leap over 15 hockey sticks stacked on ice. Fans are calling him the "Evel Knievel of the SHL."

Andrade Lasomba Launches Gourmet Taco Line
Minnesota Monarchs’ Andrade Lasomba is taking his flair for finesse off the ice and into the kitchen with the launch of "Tranquilo Tacos," a line of gourmet tacos inspired by his travels. Early menu leaks reveal unusual options like "Slapshot Shrimp" and "Hockey Puck Mole." Some fans are skeptical, but Lasomba promises: "Each bite will feel like a power play in your mouth."

John Peanut’s "Invisible Defense" Shocks Opponents
Montreal defenseman John Peanut has been experimenting with a mysterious defensive strategy known as "Invisible Defense." Opposing players have complained about feeling like they’re skating through molasses whenever Peanut is on the ice. Some claim he’s using psychological tactics, while others think he’s figured out some obscure rule loophole. Peanut responded cryptically: "You can’t stop what you can’t see."

Xavier Beausoleil In Talks for Netflix Documentary
Rumors are swirling that Netflix is in talks with Montreal star Xavier Beausoleil for a documentary series titled "From Pucks to Promos: The Beausoleil Story." The series will reportedly follow his journey as a hockey star and his side hustle as a pro wrestling manager. Sources say the show will feature dramatic reenactments of his most heated rivalries, and Sami Zayn is rumored to narrate.

Mercedes Baylé’s Pop Star Collaboration Sparks Controversy
San Francisco winger Mercedes Baylé has been teasing a collaboration with global pop star Dua Lipa. Insiders say the two are working on a music video filmed on an ice rink with Baylé performing intricate hockey moves while Dua Lipa skates alongside. However, the SHL is reportedly unhappy about Baylé using team equipment during filming, citing "potential damage to league property."

Wacky Rumor: SHL Planning Lunar Hockey Game?
In what might be the wildest rumor yet, sources claim the SHL is exploring the possibility of playing a hockey game on the Moon. NASA has reportedly been in talks with the league about testing a new low-gravity sports environment, with players wearing custom space suits. Xavier Beausoleil and Darby Reznor are said to be early volunteers, with Reznor tweeting: "Low gravity, high risk—count me in!" Fans are already calling it the "Puck on the Moon" era.
