懐かしの原点「KWL（ココ・レスリング・リーグ）」

ココスポーツ・ドリーム、次々と浮かぶ問題

ACW時代とKEWLの終焉

Definition of a Pro Wrestling “E-Fed” (E-Federation)

An e-fed (short for e-federation or electronic federation) is an online fantasy wrestling league where people role-play as professional wrestlers in a fictional wrestling promotion.

Most are done via email, forums, Discord, message boards, or websites.

KocoSports Dream is done live on YouTube, Twitch, and other streaming platforms.
We create our own universe using mostly WWE 2K, AEW Fight Forever, Fire Pro, Retro Mania, and others.

In the late 90s, we had a play-by-mail wrestling game called “KWL” (Koco Wrestling League) that was advertised in pro wrestling magazines all over the world.
It was insanely successful considering it was a game played entirely by mail.

The game’s player base started to fade as the internet got better and better.

We eventually phased out KWL and brought in KEWL — Koco Electronic Wrestling League.

It was an E-Fed where you picked your moves on a website, choose your finisher from a list of small videos, and got the results on the site.

You could also cut promos on each other in the forums.
It was amazing.

It worked well at first, but after a few weeks it would crash.

We would do damage control and start over, but the crashes kept coming faster and faster.

We eventually realized that once it hit 10,000 players at once, it would crash and reset to zero.

We contacted the programmers at the time, but they were shady and didn’t have real answers.

That’s one thing in business you have to get used to — people saying they can do something, but when something goes wrong, they disappear.

Maybe we can bring it back in the future as a simple game on KocoHama.com

Sidslight, a partner for the Koco Dream E-Fed

At the same time, I was the owner, booker, and promoter of ACW (American Combat Wrestling) out of Florida.
I was also on TV and radio while running multiple companies around the world.
Sadly, we had to let KEWL go and break the hearts of the players.

Years later, I started making videos with the TEW (Total Extreme Wrestling) game alongside now-Twitch streamer Sidslight on the KocoSports YouTube channel.
This was the first time we named KWL or KEWL, KocoSports Dream.

It was so much fun, and if you watch the series, we picked wrestlers from around the world who would later become big stars in WWE.

We still joke that Vince McMahon was watching our videos as a scouting source.

A few years after that, I started streaming Fire Pro World on YouTube and then Twitch.

It began with a crazy world featuring my favorite wrestler at the time, Kazuchika Okada, going on all kinds of wild adventures.

That was the start of my journey into becoming a streamer.

After a few years, we got heavily into WWE 2K23 and started our own e-fed with our small community (the Internet Infantry).

We named it KocoSports Dream with the goal of becoming the number one e-fed in the world!

We are now streaming KocoSports Dream 24/7 on the KocoPlays YouTube channel –  Koco Plays – YouTube , and we plan on bringing back the full KocoSports Dream E-Fed full-time this summer — multistreaming to both YouTube KocoSports – YouTube and Twitch –  Kocosports – Twitch later this year!

Be there!!!!
