| - Society of Sim (SOS) is a Pre-Booked Sim federation founded by Buck Pelletier. It was started in 2005 and produced 10 shows, however due to various reasons and complications it was closed down. It returned in early 2006 with the show 'Rebirth' that pitted the SOS Three against one another in a triple threat match for the SOS Championship. Since then it has continued to put on shows regularly hosting several new stars and SOS Veterans alike. SOS closed down again after its "Scaffold of Sim" show from 8/1/07. It intended to close until January, where it would return to its original schedule until the end of summer. However, on December 7, SOS owner Buck Pelletier announced that, due to many of SOS's writers losing passion, and the crash of popularity of Sim Wrestling, it would be a bad idea to re-open SOS. Instead, they plan to have one last show on 1/13/08, but close thereafter. SOS's "Swan Song" event was held in Manchester, New Hampshire in front of a sold out crowd on 1/13. Following the shut down, the SOS name and championship were used and referenced for storylines in other promotions. One of those was in WCSF, in which the SOS World Title was brought into the company during a feud between former SOS main-eventers Josh Outland and Daz. Daz won the title from Outland, making one of the only instances in e-fed history where a promotion's top title changed hands in another promotion. In 2009, the WCSF moderators had a falling out with WWE-Club and WCSF owner, Bryan Eggers. The moderators left the promotion. When SOS founder and owner Buck Pelletier suggested re-opening SOS, the moderators were supportive of the idea. Several past SOS writers and new talent enthusiastically supported resurrecting SOS. On May 11, 2009, Buck sent a mass e-mail to all registered members of SOS, and posted in SOS's forum officially announcing the promotion's return. 10 days later, on May 21, 2009, the SOS return card was posted. The show will be named "From The Ashes" and will take place at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia, PA.
