Getting started with Turnbuckle

Turnbuckle is the operations hub for your wrestling promotion — events, match cards, talent, championships, venues, financials, and the public website that fans see, all in one place.

The building blocks

• Events are your shows. Each event carries its schedule, match card, staff assignments, equipment, financials, and marketing.
• Personnel are real people; roster members are the personas they perform as. One person can have multiple gimmicks.
• Championships track title lineages — reigns, defenses, and the matches where they changed hands.
• Venues remember capacity, licensing requirements, and how past shows performed there, which powers revenue forecasts for the next one.

Where to begin

1. Set up your venues and roster.
2. Schedule your first event — see Scheduling your first event.
3. Build the match card and assign staff.
4. Announce it, and your public site updates itself.
