WELCOME TO FEDERATION X!
Federation X is the international brand of the Cyberslam network, showcasing the very best talent from across the globe. As the flagship territory, Federation X hosts many of the premiere events in the Cyberslam network each year, including The Kingmaker. Wrestlers and fans from every corner of the world have their eyes set on Fed X, setting the stage for careers to rise, rivalries to explode, and championships to gain worldwide prestige. It’s more than a promotion—it’s the global heartbeat of wrestling.
PLAY STYLE
Federation X is a sim + rolling roleplay based territory.
This means that the federation’s matches will require a sim profile, and a wrestler who has access to sim as a member of Fed X.
This also means that participants in Fed X participate in ongoing storytelling in the form of roleplay, that interacts directly with the roleplay efforts of other wrestlers and wrestling characters. Wrestlers and other characters interact with each other by continuing off of, or including other wrestlers and wrestling characters in their posts on the RP Board.
Title belts within the company may be sim only, roleplay only or a blended sim + roleplay style that factors both elements in determining the outcome of matches. Roleplay based outcomes are determined with the assistance of a roleplay judge(s).
TERRITORY RULES
These are the basic rules for Federation X:
- Wrestlers must have posted at least 3 roleplays in the last 7 days in order to be booked on a card.
- Fed X uses a ranking system that measures roleplay activity, title status, match wins and other gameplay results to determine contenders for each championship.
- House Show Matches are a way for players to roleplay their character through additional matches that will impact their rankings. The rules for House Show Matches can be found here.
- Sim result scoring uses the Fed X Scoring Formula. Details can be found here.
- Roleplay result scoring is done via a judge. A list of qualified judges can be found here.
- Unless otherwise stipulated by the booker, Interference is permitted. Rules for INTs can be found here.
- All wrestlers must perform on a minimum of 3 cards each month. Those failing to do so will have their contract terminated.
RANKINGS
The Federation X Ranking System is a unique format that allows players to exert a direct level of control over their wrestlers’ title opportunities. By using the system to their advantage players are able to receive more frequent title shots at the championship belt(s) they’re most interested in.
Players are only permitted to be in two divisions at any given time. One singles division and the tag team division. Champions are considered part of their division.
Players may request to be moved to a new division at any time. That move will be reflected in the next update of the rankings.
The rankings are updated on a weekly basis (as a minimum).

CONTRACTS
At the sole international territory under the Cyberslam umbrella, Federation X is the only territory that requires wrestlers to be under contract in order to book them on it’s broadcasts.
Federation X‘s CEO has committed to the other territory commissioners not to have more than 20% of all Cyberslam wrestlers under contract at any given point in time. This allows them to continue to work with 80% of all wrestlers without having to compete with the international territory. It also limits which wrestlers have the opportunity to elevate their status on the international stage at any point in time.
For this reason, wrestlers who are under contract to Federation X are required to perform on a minimum of 3 cards per month, and any wrestler failing to do so will be in breach of their contract. This will lead to the cancellation of their contract, opening up a contract for another wrestler.
BOOKING
The CEO uses the OOC Board to receive special requests for upcoming cards. Players who wish to request specific matches (not title shots) may do so on that board and those requests will be considered when the time comes to book the cards.
The two most prestigious positions on a card are the Main Event and the Card Opener. These positions will be reserved for the matches with the highest stakes. Matches that are focused on building or culminating feuds, as well as matches with backstory or that will have a major impact on the direction of the territory will be given priority.
This can include, but is not limited to, title matches.
The rest of the matches on a card will be booked in spots filling the range between the Opener and the Main Event, in order of priority that will be determined by the booker. These matches may be used to establish new top contenders to championships, to allow wrestlers an opportunity to climb in the rankings, or for any other purpose that fits the strategy of the booker.
Not every wrestler will be booked on every card. Card size is entirely at the discretion of the booker.
TELEVISION
Storm Warning is the brand’s televised weekly show.
It has been on the air since 2008, when it replaced Fury as the #1 show the brand produced. From 2008 – 2014 Storm Waring was the highest grossing wrestling show on network television. It has been in global syndication since early in 2010.
During the company’s relaunch in 2020, Storm Warning did not return as the brand was unable to secure a broadcast deal. Instead the brand debuted FXTV, a 24/7 livestream channel available across many social platforms and on the company’s new app. As FXTV gained views at an unprecedented rate, the demand for a syndicated show rose, and the company signed a new syndication agreement in the spring of 2021, which directly lead to the return of Storm Warning.
FED X CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Superstar Championship is considered the most prestigious championship in Federation X. It is a title that changes hands exclusively through rolling roleplay matches. The Champion is defended a minimum of 2x per quarter. See the Superstar rules here for more details.
The World Championship is the most coveted championship in all of Federation X, due largely to the fact that it’s a title belt that represents both sim success and roleplay ability. Fed X, as the only international territory brand, is the only territory that is allowed to have a World Championship title belt. Match results are determined by cumulative sim points and roleplay points to determine the winner. #1 contenders are selected from qualified Fed X contracted wrestlers, and the reigning champions of other territories.
The World Tag Team Championships are the pinnacle of tag team performance in all of Cyberslam. Like the World Championship, these titles represent both sim success and roleplay ability by both members of the team. Fed X, as the only international territory brand, is the only territory that is allowed to have World Tag Team Championships belts. Match results are determined by cumulative sim points and roleplay points to determine the winners. #1 contenders are selected from qualified Fed X contracted tag teams, and the reigning champions of other territories.
HISTORY
Founded by the enigmatic and mysterious Stranger X, Fed X was launched on January 1, 2003 with the business governance operated by a team of experienced commissioners known as The Powerbase. At the launch that team consisted of Lars Magnuson, Richard Grayson and Sneaky Jensen.
Originally conceived as a renegade federation within the Wrassle network, as Fed X rose to prominence in the wrestling world The Powerbase chose to sever their relationship with Wrassle and to break out on their own.
With Wrassle’s closure, and Fed X‘s hiatus from promoting due to legal challenges, the Smartest Man In Wrestling Marlowe saw an opportunity. In 2015, he secretly used the finances of one of his clients to acquire Fed X and all its assets.
Shortly after Fed X‘s re-emergence as a wrestling brand in 2020, Marlowe succumbed to a battle with cancer. It was in the wake of this terrible loss that his estate’s executor revealed that the owner of the company was Alan Scott. This marked a new direction for the company, as Alan stepped back from his other business pursuits and invested his time in rebuilding the brand.
Since that time Federation X has returned to its former status as the global wrestling brand, acting as a governing body for territories from across North America, and around the world. Under Alan’s guidance longtime wrestling territories like CCW, MAW, SHOW and CWA resurfaced, while new territories like CRW, MGW, BWA and UKEW emerged.
In 2025 the CEO quietly started a reorganization of the company and its subsidiaries. These changes positioned Fed X as the international brand for all territories operating under the new entity name of Cyberslam. This means that the company can and does host cards globally, despite having a corporate home base in Toronto, Canada.
The CEO has been known to appoint interim (*) CEO status to other commissioners from across the Cyberslam network from time to time. This puts the direction of the Fed X brand temporarily under their control.
