NoDQ CAW

NoDQ CAW Debuted back in 2004 on WWE Wrestlemania XIX For Gamecube. It debuted with a CAW Cup. NoDQ Is The 2nd Caw League To Ever Exist

History
In February 2004, NODQ.COM's Aaron Rift produced 3 videos to music, featuring legendary horror icons Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees & Michael Myers. Following World-Wrestling.net's Wade Needham's presentation of the first Slam n Jam show, Aaron inaugurated NoDQ CAW with the 2004 NODQ CAW Cup which crowned Jason Voorhees the very first NoDQ CAW Champion.

Seasons
NoDQ CAW has to date ran 7 seasons, varying in length and amount of matches, each usually ending with a big, blow-off mega event.

Season 1 ran from February 2004 through to April 2004 and contained the 2004 NoDQ CAW Cup, and 25 separate matches in total. It saw the debuts of staples Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Superman & Spiderman. It concluded with the mega event Impact.

Season 2 ran from April 2004 through to May 2004 and featured 15 matches in total. This season is best remembered for the numerous title defenses of NoDQ CAW Champion Superman until his eventual loss to NoDQ CAW icon Link. Link's win marked the end of Superman's 10 defense reign and began the famous change in Superman which would culminate at the start of Season 3. The season also saw the debut of two more huge figures in NoDQ CAW history- Mr. Clean and Batman. This season culminated with the mega-event Carnage. After this event, Season 2 officially concluded with a special event called "Bound for Glory" which featured 5 WWE vs NoDQ CAW Matches.

Season 3 ran through June 2004 and featured 20 matches, including the first 6 matches of the T4 Tournament to crown the first NoDQ CAW Tag Team Champions. The season is most remembered for Superman's famous heel turn in the opening match of the season, in which he turned on his partner Batman and cost the team the match. This iconic moment, when Superman gave Batman the Speeding Bullet remains to date perhaps the most shocking moment in NoDQ CAW history. The season concluded with the mega-event True Pain in which Batman defeated the evil Superman to retain the NoDQ CAW Title.

Season 4 ran through July 2004 and featured 15 matches in total. The season contained the match voted as the best season match in NoDQ CAW history when Batman defeated Superman, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees in the NoDQ CAW special Trip To Oblivion Match. In addition, fans remember the season for Superman's shocking regaining of the CAW Title under a guise of Mr. E and Freddy Krueger setting Jason Voorhees on fire at the end of the last match of the season. The season culminated with the mega-event Quest For Gold- a one night tournament which documented Superman returning to his old blue colours and the NoDQ CAW Title making a full circle return when Jason Voorhees won the belt. Their were 2 more mega events after this, Bound for Glory 2 and End of an Era. End of an Era was a major event for several reasons. It was the last Mega Event before the brand extension. It was said to have the last match in the Freddy and Jason rivalry because Freddy was going to Eastern and Jason was going to Pacific ( Even though their feud continued in a later season ). It was also the first event to have a real life wrestler ( Sting ) be an active member of the NoDQ CAW Roster.

NoDQ CAW underwent a brand extension and was split into NoDQ Pacific and Eastern for Season 5. For details of the rosters, see below.

Season 5 ran from September 2004 through to April 2005 and was different from the previous seasons in the sense that, as opposed to single matches 2 shows were broadcast on Friday nights, in direct competition with each other, one from either brand. Each brand produced 18 shows over the course of the season and two mega events each (Jackpot and Deadly Sin from NoDQ Eastern and King of the Pacific and Date With Destiny from NoDQ Pacific). Following the Date With Destiny event a major joint production between both brands and Slam n Jam CAW named Domestic Disturbance took place (most fans view this event as perhaps the biggest in CAW history in general). Finally, there was another mega event- Undisputed Universe which reunited both brands into NoDQ CAW and both world titles.

Season 6 saw NoDQ CAW return to its old 'single match' format. 20 matches were produced along with 3 mega events in the NoDQ CAW ACTION format. This season saw Las Vegas Link make history by becoming the first superstar to hold all three NoDQ CAW Titles (World, Tag Team and International) at one time. In addition Link unified himself with his arch enemy Ganondorf to form the Dark Alliance. Season 6 also saw the rise of Zatoichi, a blind athlete who used a significant amount of counters in his matches, so many in fact that most CAW fans began to hate him and when he defeated NoDQ CAW Champion Superman at the final mega event Fully Charged many saw this as NoDQ CAW's lowest point. NoDQ then shut down for a year until the return in 2006 with Season 7- the longest season to date.

Season 7 saw the return of NoDQ CAW with the 2006 NoDQ CAW Cup and lasted from July 2006 to February 2007. The return was highly anticipated by many CAW fans and saw NoDQ CAW owner Aaron Rift take over commentating duties from long-time commentator Wade Needham. This season featured another shuffle in format as NoDQ CAW's Main Event debuted. Each month featured a NoDQ CAW Main Event at the start, with 4-8 single matches following before a second NoDQ CAW Main Event before a monthly Mega Event. This season is notable for the rise of stars Frankenstein and Captain Jack Sparrow, and the historical breaking of the Mario Bros.- a split which eventually led to Luigi becoming the NoDQ World Champion. The 2006 NoDQ CAW Cup is memorable for Frankenstein winning the cup and the NoDQ World Title in his first 4 matches, when he defeated Spiderman in the final. After the February Mega Event Date With Destiny 2007 NoDQ CAW Owner Aaron Rift announced that NoDQ CAW was being put into hiatus, indefinitely, until the time when a new game would be released that NoDQ CAW could feature on- feeling that WWE Day of Reckoning, which had been used since August 2004 had run it's course and had nothing left to offer. The season, and the Day of Reckoning era, ended with the 2007 NoDQ CAW Cup, in which NoDQ CAW Champion Luigi defeated Superman and Captain Jack Sparrow to retain the NoDQ World Title. As of 26th January 2008, NoDQ CAW remains in hiatus status.

The NoDQ CAW Cup
One of NoDQ CAW's trademarks and staples is the NoDQ CAW Cup- a single-elimination tournament which has been contested a total of 3 times since NoDQ CAW's conception (2004, 2006, 2007). The NoDQ CAW Cup is iconic in NoDQ CAW chronicles as it has set about the extensive careers of NoDQ legends such as Jason Voorhees, Luigi, Frankenstein, and Freddy Krueger.

The 2004 NoDQ CAW Cup

The 2004 NoDQ CAW Cup took place in April 2004 and was the very first production that NoDQ CAW made.
