BAWD is a bunch of fired up ladies who toe the line between theatrical antics and hardcore athleticism. Eight woman-identified wrestlers compete in each brawl. They have a persona, costume, bio, theme song, and money-hungry entourage to back them up and collect ?bets? from the crowd. Proceeds raised from bets go to a chosen local organization or project that benefits women and girls- this time Web of Benefit.

At each event, wrestlers compete tournament-style. The winner receives a trophy created by the beneficiary, in addition to eternal glory. Rules are determined and managed by the referees, only to be manipulated and corrupted by crowd hecklers with dolla billz.
