BIFF Backstory

The Bilingual International Federation of Fun started off humbly as a small-time independent federation in the Midwestern US called WRESTLERAMA back in late 2007. It was not extremely successful on a major scale, but on the local level it prospered, more or less breaking even on every show and entertaining a crowd of 100-200 people a night. They didn't have international fame, but they didn't need it. They were happy on the small scale.

Enter Marty Flambert.

According to the story Mr. Flambert tells, he happened to be at a charity golf game with a bunch of his business associates and close personal friend Donald Trump. Trump was bragging about his success in the pro wrestling world, having come off of a Wrestlemania appearance a year previous. Trump exaggerated, saying that he "ran the show" around there. Flambert, himself a fan of pro wrestling, scoffed at Trump's braggadocios behavior and said that he could run a wrestling company. Determined to shut him up, Trump said that he would bet him on a game of golf. The winner of the bet was to get a controlling stake in a major promotion. The loser would be forced to run a low-rank indy promotion and buy them out. Flambert lost the match. He learned of WRESTLERAMA, a promotion deemed "not serious enough, too goofy" by his advisors, but he bought them out anyways. Trump was too busy being a braggart to remember to carry out his end of the bet and buy the major wrestling promotion.

In any event, Flambert retooled WRESTLERAMA with some brand new talent and a brand new studio show on his network WLMF: The Superduperstation (the show is named WRESTLERAMA TV in order to remember the company's roots) and of course a brand new name...BIFF~!, which came from Flambert watching a late night showing of Batman starring Adam West. We're not entirely sure why he was watching Batman...though that is a fun movie. We here enjoyed it.
