Simply put, the bolded parts are where you fill in the information. The 'XXX' is for you to place your federations shortname (UWA, ECW, WCW). Within the contract are the incentives agreed upon and/or offered by the promoter to the wrestler and disciplinary actions for breaking basic PWC rules. Otherwise, the contract is pretty basic.
Cut and paste the contract and replace all blocked out information with your information. If you have any questions, please PM Councilman #2.
