Hogan vs. Flair (HVF)

Hogan vs. Flair (HVF) is a comedy based fantasy/CAW league that began in January 2010. It is produced by the same owner as EFW and is considered a “brother” league. The league mainly uses Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth for the PS2 and borrows heavily from the game’s provided roster. mDickie’s mPire Wrestling 2008 is used on all special shows such as Empty Arena. Raw 2 is used for non-canon nL vs HvF streams with NewLEGACYinc.

History
The league formed under 3 main influences:

In the Fall of 2009 EFW created a series of “Apple Pie” remixes based from a Botchamania ending where Hulk Hogan saying “yappa pie” is repeated in succession. The videos received excellent feedback and eventually became the most watched videos on EFW’s channel. The HVF channel feature remixes of promos from the Hulkamania Australia tour in addition to additional Apple Pie remixes.

EFW from the start has been a serious original CAW league but with a comedic edge to some parts. Ideas were formed in Fall 2009 for a 100% comedy league using Smackdown SYM and were planned on going into motion after EFW’s Urban Warfare event in March 2010. Some EFW wrestlers have appeared during streamed events but are not members of the official roster.

Around the same time that the HVF YouTube account was created was also when Hogan and Flair jumped back into the spotlight in TNA. The league would be molded into a battle between teams of Hogan’s wrestlers vs. Flair’s wrestlers with comedic surprises thrown in. Interestingly enough in TNA the Lethal Lockdown match in 2010 was Team Hogan vs. Team Flair.

Production
All production of the show is done by the 2 man crew that owns and runs it.

HVF was originally billed as “The show recorded on a $2 VCR and edited on a $100 editing program” because the video was recorded on tape separately from the commentary. This process changed when said $2 VCR broke and was replaced by a $13 VCR. As commentary was no longer two people in the same room, from EP4 onward the production was done all digital.

The show was originally produced under the name "Dixie Carter Home Video". From Empty Arena it was produced under "Bischoff Failed Media Ventures". At Empty Arena II The Federation (See Teams below) defeated Team Hogan to gain 95% control of HvF. Since then HvF has been produced by the Federation Sports Network with Greenich Vince as the (Kayfabe) owner. Hulk Hogan's South Beach Wrestling is produced by "Hulkamedia Entertainment"

Commentary
Lead Commentator – Joe Lexington, or “Joe Lex” for short. Lexington is considered as the st raight face commentator.

Color Commentator – “Caveman” Carl Touretta. Caveman is portrayed as a rough, vulgar commentator that pokes fun at the wrestlers. He has been described as “every pro wrestling guest commentator at once.”

Caveman’s commentary is considered as one of the popular points of HVF. Caveman has been known for his catchphrases including:

“BOTCH!” – One of the ideas of the show was to blatantly and obviously point out gaffs by the game’s AI instead of trying to cover it up on commentary or ignore it. This is emphasized by Caveman shouting BOTCH with text flashing on the screen. There are multiple variations of this, the most common being errors on commentary (COMMENTARY BOTCH!) or a miss from a high spot (ATOMIC BOTCH!)

'''“ANYONE! EVEN YOU! CAN DO A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!”''' – Slowly built up gradually in Pilot Match and first mentioned in Pilot Match’s main event. This was due to a large portion of the game roster performing the Russian leg sweep in the show. Since then the phrase usually relates to the wrestler that performed the Russian leg sweep. As a standard rule, all CAW wrestlers have the Russian leg sweep in their move set.

Various one-word commentaries – “SUPLEX!” for every time Steiner/Midget Steiner does a belly-to-belly suplex in a match, “DEATH!” when someone uses a release German suplex, and “SLAP!” when Torrie Wilson does her women’s special slap finisher. Those are some examples of Caveman’s insightful commentary.

Caveman is also acknowledged by his character name on streams though he does not use the Caveman character voice, unless calling a botch.

NewLEGACYinc - During nL vs HvF streams along with Caveman and, sometimes, Joe Lex.

Dino Winwood - PWG Alumnus who occasionally joins Caveman during streams. Renowned for his endless range of voice impressions, most notably Paul Heyman, Joey Styles and RVD (discussing the importance of Arm Muscles and advertising his Arm-V-D Gym) as well as his ability to "ruin" any sport with his commentary, and his ever popular call of "Well fans, we're fucked". Voiced World Wildlife Fund head, Paul Greenman, at Very Large Wrestling Event 43.

Rules
1) Title Belts - In Seasons 1 and 2 any title belts that were awarded in any other company were not recognized in HVF. In addition HVF did not have title belts until The Federation's 95% acquisition at the end of Season 2. Five titles were introduced at Cirqus Deliqious with an additional three added at She's Hot (But Then She Talked). Starting with Very Large Wrestling Event XXXVIII and ending with Empty Arena III, the titles were merged in a tournament. They were as follows:

1) The Campeon Porundia (Champion For a Day) - A new champion is crowned at each show and can be defended throughout the same show. At the next show the title is vacated and the cycle repeats.

2) The Big Shiny Thing - Considered the top prize by The Federation's title system. Contenders to the belt had to be a former WWF or WCW world champion.

3) Tivo Champ - HVF's TV title that was never once defended on a television.

4) Open the Bathroom Gate Champion - Awarded to the best non-American wrestler in HVF.

5) Incontinental Champion - The top champion who isn't ready, brother. Contenders were determined by best HVF win-loss record.

6) The Bam Bam Title - This was not an actual belt but a legal name change. The winner would have "Bam Bam" as their nickname as long as they were champion.

7) Best Friends Forever - The tag team titles of HVF.

8) $1.99 Champion - The women's title of HVF.

9) World Action Wrestling Alliance (WAWA) World Heavyweight World Championship - Introduced in Season 4 with the debut, at Drunk! With Power, of champion, The Great Power Uti. Defended against Jobbers in low value matches (see 'Popcorn Match' below).

10) The Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power - This was the result of the title unification tournament. The most valuable accolade in HvF, the ring corrupted whoever held it. When Hogan held it, it made him giant, gave him super strength, turned him heel but caused to lose most of his matches. When Flair held it, it gave him a crazy attire and made him more crazy than usual.

11) Florida Federation Wrestling Championship - The top title in HvF's developmental territory Florida Federation Wrestling.

2) Win/Loss record counts – the number of wins and losses coupled with their entertainment value determines a person’s spot on the card.

3) Hogan and/or Flair are in the Main Event at all times, as either managers, referees or wrestlers.

4) All matches are CPU controlled to provide an unbiased outcome to the match. The only exceptions to this rule were the Kevin Nash Burial Gauntlet Match and special referee matches at Empty Arena shows.

5) Popcorn Match – The match before the main event is booked as a throwaway match with jobbers, typically Hardcore Holly and other undercard talent not assigned to a team. The match is normally interrupted with other matches or footage, or has been ignored on commentary and fast forwarded in the past. Past game footage that has interrupted popcorn matches have included “Saturday Afternoon Bowling” (Ten Pin Alley) and “The Mid-South Implosion” (Legends of Wrestling II)

6) HVF Twitch.tv stream matches do not count towards a person’s win/loss record. These matches are considered house show/test matches used for experimenting with combinations and wrestlers.

Spin-Offs
MEAT Stasiak’s Seasoned Mode – A non-canon JTV stream that followed the game’s season mode with running commentary. Caveman plays through as MEAT Stasiak through 2 years of Smackdown Shut Your Mouth’s season mode. The non-canon mode saw a number of created wrestlers that either were not designated to debut in HVF or have not yet appeared either.

Dumb Enough - A wrestling and TV reality series that aired on HVF's Twitch.tv account. The show used The Sims 2 for the house challenges and living space with mDickie's Wrestling mPire 2008 for the wrestling portion of the show. The success of the show led to a match at Empty Arena II. A second season was aired for only two episodes before being cancelled due to the cast dying.

Florida Federation Wrestling - The southern training grounds of The Federation. The show uses Smackdown 2: Know Your Role and is aired only on HVF's Twitch.tv account by The Federation Sports Network. The roster consists of various HVF stars and developmental talents. The show features a unique ranking system where the loser of a title match is sent back to the bottom of the rankings to allow for more opportunities for other talent. They contest over the two top belts in FFW: the Florida Incontinental Championship and the top title, the Florida Federation Championship. As from Season 5 the FFW Champion is allowed to compete on the main roster and defend the championship.

The Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power - Hulk Hogan WAWA World Heavyweight World Championship - Super Franklin

 * Introduced in Season 4, the WAWA World Heavyweight World Championship was never retired, but as Super Franklin does not have a passport, the title is no longer defended in HvF.

Teams
As from Season 5 there are now 2 competing brands - Hulk Hogan's South Beach Wrestling and Monday Night Rehab

Hulk Hogan's South Beach Wrestling
Hogan’s team was considered as the primary face team until Hogan won the Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power which corrupted him. At the end of Season 4 Hogan sold his ownership stake in HvF, founded South Beach Wrestling, poached some of HvF's talent and now the 2 brands compete along side each other. Team Colors are Blue/Yellow/White

Owner: Hulk Hogan - Perenial main eventer who won the Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power after pinning H3 in the title unification finals at Empty Arena III, which gave him a ludicrous build and super strength, turning him heel in the process.

Joined South Beach Wrestling after Season 4.

Dr. MEAT Stasiak – Known for his spastic running and making his entrance in a shopping trolley/cart.

The Dyrty Boys - Benny and Jerry, Hogan's friends. First seen at ''Drunk! With Power'' along with Camo Pants attacking Bowling Shirt, who continuously no sold finishers and chair shots during the assault.

Jobbers

Val Venis was the only jobber to date to be offered a tryout spot with one of the teams, but did not win. He later advanced to Team Flair at the Rough Draft.

In the first round at ''Drunk! with Power'', El Macho Lobsto defeated Comfyseto in a match filled with botches and few moves that connected properly.

In the second round at Looks Good on Paper, Ranchito Jr defeated Chica del Tiempo in a match that wasn't much better than the first but did feature good sportsmanship, plenty of pandering to the crowd, and no rest holds.

In the third round at A Fistful of Donuts, El Macho Lobsto defeated Ranchito Jr in a dominant performance that featured good technical wrestling and most of the moves actually connecting!

In the fourth round at Very Large Wrestling Event 43, Slim Cara was supposed to face El Macho Lobsto, but World Wildlife Fund head, Paul Greenman, announced that Lobsto would not fight due to a financial dispute with Greenich Vince and replaced him with Brock Lobster. Slim Cara defeated Brock in a back and forth match that featured some awkward looking moves and impressive lighting effects.

At Empty Arena IV, Slim Cara and Vince' Lombardo's match was called a no contest due to Slim Cara suffering an injury, a botched/glitchy Leg lock leaving him incapacitated and neither Lombardo or Hebner being able to figure out what to do.

They want to be the new faces of Hogan vs Flair and books themselves to be invincible no matter what the match is. Defeated Team Hogan at Empty Arena II to gain 95% control of HvF. Disbanded as an active wrestling team at Empty Arena III when Hogan won the Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power. However all HvF events, streams and other related events, are still produced under the Federation Sports Networkbanner. Gained total control of HvF when Hogan sold his remaining 5% share after  '' Empty Arena IV. ''Has since re-emerged as Monday Night Rehab. Team colors were black and red.

Leader: Greenich Vince - Angry at the world from when Stone Cold Steve Austin stunned him and signed with Hogan vs Flair. Has a group of investors, a list of advisors and family backing his every move, word, and action. His faction was no more when H3 lost the unification finals at Empty Arena III.
