This game is of course brought to you by the people at http://www.filsingergames.com/home.htm

As many of you remember this is the card game I play on quite a regular basis. It's simple and to the point and can be played by yourself.

There were some new signings over the summer that you'll find exciting. Steve Corino, Don Muraco, Ivan Koloff, Dennis Condrey and a lot of other guys signed up to get used in the game eventually.

Since I last stopped posting Harley Race managed to get the NWA World Title back from Buddy Rogers and the Midnight Express regained the tag belts from Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba. Bobo Brazil also unseated the Destroyer to win the United States Title

After that PPV a 32 man Gauntlet for the Gold tournament took place and Antonio Inoki stunned me by tearing through the competition to earn another shot at Race's title. The year of shows finished off at Starcade with Race and Inoki having the MOTY at ****3/4 as Inoki almost had Race beat on several occassions but Race managed to retain.

Bobo Brazil also finished the year with a successful title defense against Johnny Valentine, the Killer Bees lost their U.S. Tag Titles to the Valiants and Greg Valentine lost the Television Title to the Sheik.

I'll be back shortly to post the roster for you guys and to pick up the new year with Clash of the Champions II.

STEVE CORINO? Man, these guys must be desperate for new wrestlers to use.

Nah, the attitude of the creator is that any wrestler willing to sign up is a welcomed addition to the game. Corino has his place in wrestling just like anyone else.

You ever get the set with the Midnights in it Scrooge?

But it's called "Legends of Wrestling", isn't it? Steve Corino is as much of a legend as Barry Horowitz.

Never rag on Horowitz. The pat on the back shall always be remembered.

OK, make that Reno Riggins... unless he has done something important other than being stalked by a loser kid from New Joisey.

NWA Saturday Night:

Dick Hutton d. Hacksaw Jim Duggan by DQ

Afterwards: Duggan grabs his 2x4 and chases Dick Hutton to the back.

Ted Dibiase comes out. He introduces Dan Severn as the Million Dollar Corporation's new bodyguard. Dan Severn says that he loves hurting people and he's now getting paid six figures a year to do what he loves.

Dan Severn d. S.D. Jones w/ the Wakigatame

Ted Dibiase also introduces Sherri Martel as his new valet.

Rikidozan d. Ox Baker w/ the Thunderous Chops

Harley Race promo. He calls Ed Lewis a relic of the past. He runs down all of his wins during the first year of the NWA and says Lewis is too outdated in the ring to win.

Don Leo Jonathan d. the Sandman w/ the Mormon Swing

ECW attacks. They beatdown Jonathan until Antonio Inok, Giant Baba and Rikidozan make the save.

NWA United States Tag Team Title Match:
the Valiants d. Chris Candido and Justin Credible to retain the NWA United States Tag Team Titles (1st defense)

Ed Lewis promo. He came to the NWA to test his skills. He dominated his time and was unbeatable. He expects to win the title at Super Brawl.

Killer Bees d. the Dream Team w/ the Sleeper

Midnight Express and Jimmy Snuka attack. They beatdown the Killer Bees until Mil Mascaras makes the save. Monsoon comes out and announces next week that the Killer Bees and Mil Mascaras will take on the Midnight Express and Jimmy Snuka in a six man tag.

I'll also be adding a second show (Worldwide) after the Super Brawl PPV. It'll be a 4 or 5 match show and just be squash matches. The other version of this game has jobber cards and I'll just bring them in and give them generic names. The main events to Worldwide might be mid-carders taking on each other. There won't be any angles on the show either unless wrestlers interfere in someone's matches.

They just added Ravishing Rick Rude for the next set.

So finally I'm ahead on the comic and have my territory in ok shape. Look for a couple of shows next week.

They just released a Mike Dibiase card and a Bob Orton Sr. card. So those should make life interesting when they get here. Dibiase will be joining his son in the Million Dollar Corporation and Bob Orton will be joining his son and Dick Hutton in a new stable. Don't know what I'll call them yet.

Finally played so here we go:

NWA Saturday Night 1/22/05

Dog Collar Match:
Sabu d. S.D. Jones w/ the Triple Jump Moonsault

It was revealed on air that the Heenan Family agreed to part ways with Dick Hutton and Cowboy Bob Orton. When asked to comment Bobby Heenan said they didn't fit into his future plans. He's working on some big names and needed the money. Hutton and Orton said they were going to do their own thing and even were planning to bring a friend in.

Konnan d. King Kong Bundy w/ a sit-out facebuster

Mean Gene interviewed Don Leo Jonathan. He talked about his plans for facing off against Killer Kowalski at the PPV. He's stronger and quicker so he doesn't see winning to be a big problem. Jonathan also mentioned that the winner of this match would be getting the first shot at the winner of Harley Race/Ed Lewis.

George Hackenschmidt d. the Missing Link w/ the Russian Bear Hug

George Hackenschmidt grabbed a mic after his match. He declared himself to be the strongest man in the world and challenged anyone to prove him wrong. Yukon Eric made his first NWA appearance and accepted Hackenschmidt's challenge.

Bruiser Brody d. Red Bastien w/ the Jumping Knee Drop

Masked Superstar promo. He talks about how he's toiled for a year in the NWA without any recognition from the people in charge. He talks about all the matches he's won and how just now he's finally getting a title shot. He promises to finally make a splash tonight.

Killer Bees and Mil Mascaras d. Midnight Express and Jimmy Snuka w/ the Bee Sting

Nick Bockwinkel d. Justin Credible w/ the Bockwinkel Sleeper

Harley Race promo. Ed Lewis hasn't impressed him. So he won a tournament, big deal. He's beaten everyone that's challenged him for the title. He promises to hold the World Title for a long time.

Dick Hutton d. Gorgeous George w/ the Abdominal Stretch

Jim Cornette promo. He calls the Midnight Express the greatest tag team in the world. He runs down the Killer Bees as being out of their league.

Johnny Valentine d. Frank Gotch by DQ

Buddy Rogers promo. He mocks the fact that Gotch lost. It doesn't look good for Gotch if he can't even win a warm up match.

I'll be getting back to playing soon. Things got moved around my house and I had to wait till after the holidays to claim the kitchen table for my new playing area. The new set is coming out in a couple of months and 10 of the 12 guys have been announced:

The Crusher
Don Muraco
Ravishing Rick Rude
Steve Corino
Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant
Cousin Luke
Danny Doring
Danny Hodge
Bill Apter
The Terrible Turk


If you're wondering about the Terrible Turk read this:

Ok, so here's the deal. The current set just came out and with the additions of Rude, Muraco, Zybszko and DDP there's a real log jam of upper mid carders coming in at once. So there's probably going to be a lot of boring shows as I'm establishing everyone. So here's the deal.

I'm in about August timeline wise. When I hit January I'm splitting my federation into 3 territories plus Japan doing tours. So when I get to that point probably in late March early April I'll start a new topic and start posting shows again.

The territories are going to be the AWA, ECW and Mid-South. All Japan will represent the tours. The champions you currently see will become floating champions and will come into every territory on a rotating basis. Japan will probably see less frequent visits. There will also be a Junior Heavyweight Championship added before this split occurs. Each territory will of course have it's own titles.

As far as talent goes. There will be an annual talent trade. There will also be temporary talent exchanges and guys jumping territories when contracts expire.

Each territory will have around 25 featured stars so this will mean that there will probably be a lot of squash matches. There will be 2 super shows a year where the territories come together. Every territory will probably have a big card every other month.

Just a heads up for you.
