Coolsville

A godforsaken town at some desert wasteland in the middle of nowhere. It is the place where the casts of TFR live and breathe when they're not wrestling on the ring.

Founding
While details are sketchy, scholars agree that the first European settlers arrived at what ended up being present Coolsville at 1619. After initiating contact with the natives, the settlers bribed the tribes with a ship's worth of barrels of whiskey to fuck off and let them build in their fields. When the Indians realised that only two barrels had whiskey and the rest were filled with apple juice, they instead sold them their old burial ground which was a shitty plot of desert patrolled by "some gay ghost" one account says.

Immediately something seemed wrong at this new settlement. Women and men would have strictly legal relationships, while the amount of same-sex relationships would go through the roof. It didn't take long the settlement to get its first name: New Sodom.

Trading with the settlement was a rarity, as no trader wanted to venture in and catch the gay. At some point between 1640 and 1870, New Sodom was completely abandoned or (most likely) the population died out since they couldn't reproduce.

Coolsville
On October 27th 1880, Mikhail Borisovich "The Gray Skinned" Bogdanoff descended on the town from his majestic flying iron disk and asked to buy the whole thing from the local rabbi, the only man that was willing to stay in what remained of that disgusting township. After a grueling day of negotiations, New Sodom was bought for 0.28$, five beans, a funny shaped rock and half a dead rat.

Sir Mikhail quickly realising that nobody would never step even near a place with such a sordid name, decided to rename it to "Coolsville" in a move akin to naming a frozen block of ice and popular penguin suicide spot to "Greenland" hoping that enough dumb fucks are gonna take the bait and start moving in. Just a day before entering 1881, Coolsville was completely full.

For about two decades, Coolsville was the industry leader in depressed households and teenage vagrants. Since all residents had signed lengthy work contracts with House Bogdanoff that anchored them to Coolsville "until the loins of [their] descendants stop producing [Mikhail Bogdanoff] a steady workforce", the residents would try to distract themselves with anything they could. The most popular daily activities in Coolsville circa 1898 were recorded as:
 * Public Drunkenness
 * Polluting the harbor
 * Indecent exposure on public school grounds
 * Vandalising Cemeteries
 * Homosexual Orgies
 * Attempted Suicide
 * Making a run for the Mexican border

The 1909 Coolsville Colosseum incident
After many attempts to exorcise the specter that was turning the inhabitants of the city gay and facing a potential loss of slaves future workers, Mikhail Bogdanoff decided that it was time to use magical means to harm the ghost directly. His first choice, Mexico's practitioners of "La Lucha Libre" declined to help because they couldn't get visas, so he turned his attention to the American Board of the now lost art of "catch" wrestling, the Gold Dust Trio. The mysterious trio agreed to help exorcise the ghost after luring it to the Coolsville Colosseum.

On December 23rd 1909, the entirety of Coolsville was forced into the Colosseum for what was billed as the rematch of the century: Frank Gotch vs Stanislaus Zbyszko, going all out after an epic 1-hour fight that ended in a draw and the arrest of an armed man trying to rush the ring. The bait worked and as the match was starting, the ghost entered the arena. At that point, both Gotch and Zbyszko performed a double chokeslam to the ghost and banished it from this world. Or so they thought.

An all out assault on Coolsville began with the dead rising and demons entering reality from beneath the ring and slaughtering the inhabitants of the city. The wrestlers did their best and halted the assault until Mr Bones himself appeared to get his revenge for "sending [him] that fucking qυeer back down again." After an unending 2-1 handicap match, Gotch and Zbyszko had only one option left to send Mr Bones back to hell and thus performed for the second and last time in the history of wrestling the forbidden move: The Tunguska Drop

The cloud of smoke that rose from that move blacked out the skies for days. The Colosseum was completely oblitarated, resembling more of a Only three people lived to tell the tale of that fateful day, the wrestlers that fought the leader of Hell itself and Mikhail Bogdanoff who swore revenge on the world, Coolsville and wrestling itself for ruining his easy life. In fear of wrestling getting outlawed in the US, the Gold Dust Trio pulled off a grand illusion tricking the general public that wrestling is fake and covered up the Coolsville Colosseum incident as a gas leak.

Some say that the Tunguska Drop caused massive amounts of otherworldly energies to gather around Coolsville and a war to harness their power is inevitable.

Coolsville Today
Holy fuck, it's a grand shithole. I can't go two feet without stepping on a used condom or finding another house burned to the ground due to "faulty stove accidents." Not only that, but some Brazilian started squatting an old supermarket and is running some outlaw wrestling show, everyone is still very gay, which probably means the ghost escaped Hell again and if that wasn't enough, Fred Jones said on camera that it sucks!
