The Vivianverse

The Vivianverse the term for the shared continuity between the CAW feds WEDF, New-WWE, Jeri-MAX, NAW, RAWR, NESE, WCW, It's Walleh Time, Ultimate Reckless Wrestling, New-TNA, World Wide Championship Wrestling, and DCWL.

Explanation
The Vivianverse is a shared continuity between several leagues that are primarily run from the Something CAWful forums. The Vivianverse is unique in that events that take place in one league can affect events in the other Vivianverse leagues. Deaths, major physical appearance changes, and important stables/alliances (assuming both members are in another fed) are events that are carried over between feds, though some (like Shawn Dynasty's death in IWT) are not. Face/Heel turns, minor physical appearance changes, and gimmick changes are optional and can be ignored if a fed does not wish to carry them over.

History
The beginning of the Vivianverse occured with the working ties between the leagues of RAWR, NAW and New-WWE. The feds allowed the exchangement of talent between the leagues and appear on their shows. It should be noted that while the leagues were linked with each other, they did not have a talent exchange. This was along with Jeri-MAX's relationship to New-WWE, where events that happen in Jeri-MAX directly affect New-WWE; most notably would be Dylan Connell appearing bald in New-WWE following the shaving of his head in Jeri-MAX. Eventually in later Spring, the leagues would acknowledge the fact they were closing tied, and created the Vivianverse. The Vivianverse is named after a certain user (whom I really will not name) claimed that Burb (New-WWE owner's name) was call Vivian in real life (she's called Amy fyi). On the same day, NESE would become apart of the Vivianverse due its working relationship with OLW and RAWR.

When NAW was closed down on the 9th June 2010. The following day, OLW is linked into the Vivianverse due to OLW formerly being NAW South. NESE is part of the Vivianverse due to having a talent exchange with RAWR and OLW. On 23rd June 2010, WCW would also become apart of the Vivianverse. NESE on July 20th would create a developmental league called SDA, which would last till 14th March 2011.

OLW would end along with it's developmental league HARDCORE RESSURECTION WRESTLING.

IWT is linked into the Vivianverse due to the death of El Jefe being present along with the strong ties and working relationship of IWT with NESE and NAW.

RAWR would end after the owner decided to move on from CAW.

URW was allowed into the Vivianverse by Burb and at the moment is only connected by URW superstar Evan O'Shea who is in URW, IWT, WCW, and NAW.

The Vivianverse's biggest acquisition, WEDF joined in mid February 2011. It was already heavily linked to IWT prior to joining.

As of April 30th, 2011, New-TNA was allowed to join the Vivianverse. It has several connections to the Vivianverse, primarily through working relationships with WEDF. Other connections include the use of featured Vivianverse talents such as Steven Spriter, The Suspect, and Oshujax.

On July 29th, 2011, DCWL and WWCW were made the first feds to be officially added into the Vivianverse without the consent of their owners. CAWllision was also added as the first series of CPV events to be part of the Vivianverse canon. WWCW was also the first posthumous addition to the 'verse.

 * El Jefe's death at Jeri-MAX JeriMania was acknowledged by New-WWE and IWT, who both had Jefe signed to their rosters at the time it happened. He eventually returned to New-WWE following his resurrection, slowly followed by an IWT return at a stream.
 * Bret Michaels was on the shelf in both New-WWE and NAW North following his real life brain hemorrhage.
 * Following their teaming in RAWR, Mr. Amazing and Damar began to team in New-WWE as well.
 * Several NAW feuds have been carried over to New-WWE and vice-versa; most notably would be Larry It vs The Crippler, TRS vs Link, and Javori Smart vs Caylen Rogers.
 * Following the event that happened in the RAWR world, DAMAR was out of action for an uncertain amount of time (in RAWR & New-WWE) due to the fact he lost his right arm and right side of his face. He lost them after an explosion caused by faulty bubblegum purchased from [DELETED]. Damar returned as a cyborg by the name of DamaRJ in both feds.
 * New-WWE, NAW, Jeri-MAX, and RAWR have all had a different promotions superstar as one of their Champions at one point. Examples would be The Crippler (from NAW) being New-WWE ECW Champion and Jeri-MAX World Champion, Damar and Mr Amazing (from New-WWE) being RAWR Tag Team Champions, and TRS (from New-WWE) being the "ACWL" World Heavyweight Champion.
 * The NESE stable Shetty's Horde has been partially carried over to New-WWE and mentioned on WCW.

Examples of events ignored in some sections of the Vivianverse

 * Shawn Dynasty, who was executed by CYBERDOMAINIAN on an IWT stream, is an active competitor in NAW.
 * This event has also somewhat been written of contunity in IWT, as Shawn Dynasty has reappeared in IWT as "Black Shawn Dynasty".
 * Chris Jericho being Jericho of 2005 in NESE originally compared to the rest of the Vivianverse, which used current day Jericho. This was later corrected when Jericho was moved to NESE East.

Notes & Trivia

 * While it seems to acknowledge events that happen within the Vivianverse, DCWL is not considered a member, and events that happen in DCWL are generally not carried over but DCWL does use some Superstars in the Vivanverse [Example:Bret Michaels ] and DCWL does some events with Vivianverse feds [Example: DCWL and New WWE doing a joint CPV and DCWL vs WCW Storyline].
 * The name is derived from "Vivian", a false name that Burb was called in a PM from a certain CAW fed owner.
