Since 1986, Filsinger Games has been the premier company in science-fiction wrestling, with its popular Champions of the Galaxy tabletop card game. Wrestling fans were first introduced to a new wrestling universe set 100 years in the future in the pages of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. In this universe humans fought alongside aliens, robots and giant lizard men and waged wars for titles, inter-planetary bragging rights and galactic supremacy. The game has thrived ever since with over 50 game editions, an evolving storyline and an expansive roster of characters. Now in 2014, Filsinger Games Live Event Productions is set to enter the professional wrestling landscape. Spearheaded by Jeff Gutherz and Todd Joerchel and starring Louden Noxious of CHIKARA Pro Wrestling and Kaiju: Big Battel fame, Champions of the Galaxy: The Live Event will attempt to revolutionize the performance art genre and take Filsinger Games and the Champions of the Galaxy brand to new heights.
This special family-friendly show features superhero-like performances, alien characters, science-fiction elements, unusual costumes and unprecedented fan participation. Champions of the Galaxy: The Live Event will be filmed by Smart Mark Video, an industry leader in professional wrestling video production. Additionally, a documentary is being filmed that will not only cover the history of the Champions of the Galaxy game, but the process of putting the live event together.
In order to fund the productions costs of Champions of the Galaxy: The Live Event and documentary, Filsinger Games has launched a campaign through the popular crowdsourcing website Kickstarter. Those contributing to the campaign will receive rewards including a DVD of the event and documentary, a special game edition featuring the characters from the show, signed memorabilia, the opportunity to have a personalized Champions of the Galaxy card or even a role in Champions of the Galaxy: The Live Event itself. The campaign ends on April 6, 2014.
