Choose the Superstar I

Choose the Superstar I (originally known as Choose the Superstar/often abbreviated to CTS) is the first game in the Choose the Superstar franchise. This game of CTS was held in 2010 and brought together 12 SCAW hopefuls from various forms of media in an 11 week competition to determine SCAW's next breakout star. The winner would be awarded with a one year contract with the promotion, where in order to stay past the one year, would have to win a championship. The final three weeks of the competition known as "Special Rounds" for Entrance Week (an Entrance Theme), Moves Week (a Finishing Move) and Story Week (a potential Storyline) would take place over Week 9, Week 10 and Week 11 of the competition. This inaugural season would be won by Captain Marvel.

He is a former 2x Internet Champion, 1x Tag Team Champion (with He-Man), former Mr Money in the Bank, a Match of Destiny winner and a former 1x SCAW Champion (and was the first CTS winner to accomplish that feat).

Sub-Zero would find himself in SCAW for a period of time before being released.
