The Scars of Wrestling Cup (formerly known as the Scars of Eagle Cup) is a match type that is held on every big time event (PPV and Wildcard) for the Women's Wrestling Alliance that is owned by two time cup winner Danielle Lopez. It is widely known for being a signature match type in Premium Championship Wrestling but prior to PCW's existence, the inaugural version of the cup was held in YouTube Championship Wrestling. In character the creator of the cup is Leo Hawkins, while out of character, Hawkins handler was the one who brought the unique concept alive.
Background
During the third episode of YCW's Monday Night Wrestling on YouTube, Leo Hawkins announced the creation of this cup. Due to the booking decisions mostly being made by Terrell Ryder in those times, Leo Hawkins showed his jovial, ready-to-party style, and announced "HIS own party" next week. Leo ran down the rules of this cup, and a week later the cup was won by Osiris.
Following the unification into PCW, Shannon Saint allowed this match to continue, since Leo Hawkins is the Executive Vice President of the branch. The series continues up until PCW closed the first time. With PCW returning, Terrell Ryder now the owner of the company, and Leo now a Talent Scout/Ambassador of the company. The cup will be retained with Leo being the head guy of the cup like it was originally slated to be. This lasted until PCW closed for the second and final time.
Almost six years since the last cup, it debuted in the Women's Wrestling Alliance, owned by two time Cup winner and PCW Hall of Famer Danielle Lopez. In WWA, Hawkins is once again the master ceremonies for the cup, with the rules of the match staying the same as it always has been.
Rules of the match:
The match is contested under four, five or six way elimination rules where once a wrestler is eliminated, they must head back to the locker room area, and once it gets down to the final two competitors, the first competitor to score a pinfall or submission is declared the winner. This was previously under a no disqualification rule. In the Women's Wrestling Alliance, they have added the Disqualification rule to it although that is abolished if it takes place at Eve of Destruction as every match on the card is contested under no disqualification rules.
Awards for winning a Scars of Wrestling Cup:
This feature has changed a bit in both YCW and PCW days. With the match now taking place in the Women's Wrestling Alliance, the awards changed once again.
One SoW Cup Victory - Trade it for a Tag Team Championship OR Trios Championship shot
Two SoW Cups Victory - Trade it for a Television or Joshi Championship shot
Three SoW Cups Victory - Trade it for a World Championship shot.
