Clash of the Classics
Episode #01

Welcome to "Clash of the Classics", an 80's Mania Wrestling federation! This will not follow any specific timeline, but will allow me to play some cards with the new Filsinger Games 8-pack. This first episode will feature the first-round of the 80's Mania Wrestling Championship Tournament! Who will advance?


Lazer vs. The Piranha

The opening match-up would be the first ever rolled for CotC, and it would showcase two of the top stars in the federation. The Piranha held his own, but it was only a matter of time before Lazer would take over. He locked in the LAZERLOCK tight, and The Piranha tapped out!

Lazer is definitely one of the favourites in this tournament, and it will be difficult for anyone to stop him.

Fatigue Count: Lazer (1), The Piranha (1)


Starboy vs. Johnny Kobra

The second match featured the high-flying Starboy and Johnny Kobra, the man known for grounding an opponent with leg sweeps, and kicks to the knee. Some would say this would be a dangerous match for Starboy, but you wouldn't know it here. Starboy started out fast, and hit both his finishers (SOMERSAULT KICK, FLYING CROSS CHOP) on route to victory.

After the match, Kobra looked furious after such a poor showing. He wanted the gold, but couldn't keep up.

Cobalt Commander vs. Rad Racer

Another high-flying superstar would hit the ring in Rad Racer, but unlike the previous match, there would be no attacks from the air. Cobalt Commander used illegal move after illegal move, and dominated from start to finish. In fact, Cobalt Commander wouldn't even finish Racer with a wrestling move. He preferred to step on his throat for the pinfall. Why the referee didn't stop the fight, we'll never know.

Cobalt Commander raised his arm in victory, and the crowd booed their heads off. This guy was dirty, and nobody appreciated it.

Fatigue Count: N/A


Dark Invader vs. Arizona Chance

Both of these men were favourites to win the title (some analysts had Dark Invader ranked #1 overall and Arizona Chance #3) but only one would get out of the first round. Arizona Chance started out strong and hit Invader for some big moves, but that would only anger the dark one. Invader would start pummeling Arizona, getting near-falls quite a few times. The match ended after Dark Invader launched him out of the ring, hitting his head on the floor. The referee would count him out, while Invader posed in the ring.

It would be interesting to see who would meet in the final. We were guaranteed to see a good vs. evil final, but who would walk out on top?

[Crossbones]

I like the feel of your 8WM fed! Keep up the great work and I pick Lazer to take the tournament!

[barflymike4ever]

as I read this my mind went to the old Pro Wrestling on my NES. I'm rooting for Starboy

[Pariah]

As someone who has watched Raiders of the Lost Ark several hundred times... Seriously, when I was growing up in was nothing for me to watch this several times per week... Loved it THAT much...

Anyhow... I think we all know who I was rooting for... Once he gets a title shot... Trust me.

[Crimson Cross]

It's very cool to see another 80's fed up and running, I'll be following...

[graymar]

Great job.

Looking forward to the next card!

Thanks for all the comments, folks! Another card is coming this week.

Clash of the Classics
Episode #02

Welcome to Episode #02 of Clash of the Classics! Last week we saw four high-quality matches where the winners advanced to the semi-finals to determine the first-ever Heavyweight Champion! In our main event, Lazer takes on Starboy! Dark Invader challenges Cobalt Commander! The winners face each other for the Championship! In the loser's bracket, The Piranha faces Johnny Kobra! But first, it's the Adventurer vs. Racer!


Arizona Chance vs. Rad Racer

Rad Racer was a huge underdog in this match, but you wouldn't know it by watching this battle! Rad Racer hit both his finishers at one point, with Chance getting lucky to kick out. Eventually, the master of the whiplash tried to use an illegal object (guess which one!) and was caught by the referee.

Rad Racer with the DQ win, even though one could argue he had the match in the bag either way! Who will he face next episode?

The Piranha vs. Johnny Kobra

Wow! The Piranha came out fast in this one, landing move after move. He had such a huge lead, that the crowd was shocked to see him go outside the ring for a chair! What was he thinking?! He smashed Kobra over the head, and was disqualified!

Kobra was still laying on the mat when he was informed he was the winner! He pumped a fist in the air, before going out cold. What a trooper?

Fatigue Count: Johnny Kobra (3)


Dark Invader vs. Cobalt Commander

The two evil forces squared off here, but it's clear one is more evil than the other. Cobalt Commander tried to cheat, but Dark Invader would have none of it. He went to THE CORRUPTER almost immediately, and picked up the easy win.

Invader refused to leave ringside. He wanted to know who his next victim would be.

Fatigue Count: N/A


Lazer vs. Starboy

Talk about a massive upset! Lazer would be off his game the whole night. (Could it be Dark Invader's presence?) Starboy was focused, and able to land his SOMERSAULT KICK before smashing Lazer with the FLYING CROSS CHOP! Lazer was caught, and he was done!

Starboy stared at Dark Invader on the outside, who began laughing maniacally. I think he thought the title was his for certain!

Finally, it's Arizona Chance vs. The Piranha in the "finals" of the losers bracket. It's a must win!

Totally radical, man! It's Clash of the Classics! It's 80's Mania Wrestling!

[Pariah]

Snap! Great effort by Rad Racer... Pleased that Arizona Chance won in the end, but the DQ decision must leave a sour taste for both...

And a huge upset for Starboy, IMO... Lazer was the guy that everyone expected to run away with this thing... Maybe not gonna happen...

Expecting Dark Invader will take the top prize... He has been unstoppable... And despite his struggles against Starboy, I have no doubt that Lazer will become the number one contender...

Fun stuff!

[barflymike4ever]

always want to ask Arizona Chance what they named the dog...
Starboy wins, Lazer off his game not good.
the Dark Invader is looking impressive and the future is looking dark, bleak and hopeless.
keep 'em coming. the more I see this has me dusting off the NES to play pro wrestling
