The official logo of the Blood Wrestling Association (BWA)
The Blood Wrestling Association (BWA) is a dark underground wrestling organization who had emerged and sought to take advantage of the CWA’s period of disarray after its owner and top-ranking wrestler, Victor Ortega had unexpectedly left and disappeared from the public eye. The BWA had first appeared in the Slam Masters series, which is also part of the Street Fighter universe alongside the Final Fight series.
Story[]
While not much is known about them, the Blood Wrestling Association appears to be a wrestling federation that acts as a hardcore wrestling group. Unlike the Capcom Wrestling Association, the BWA is not about majestic heroic and athletic sides of wrestling, but more about entertaining their audience and winning at any cost, openly encouraging illegal maneuvers, utilizing creepier and savage gimmicks, and an emphasis on hardcore wrestling carnage.
Slam Masters series[]
After Ortega’s sudden and shocking disappearance, the BWA had decided to take part in the CWA’s World Tour called the "Crash Carnival" in order to decide the new leader of the CWA from within a wrestling tournament.
After the tournament, Ortega shows up unexpectedly and challenges the winner in order to decide once and for all on who is truly and undoubtedly the undisputed leader of the CWA. It is currently unknown on who had actually won the tournament from within the official storyline of the Slam Masters series.
