What's up promoters!! A quick little history -- I started playing COTG back in early 1987. Back when we used to mail in our match results and Tom communicated through postcards. I spent hours booking the matches and rolling the dice. I kept going right up through the Civil War storyline, then life got in the way. I tried to get back into COTG about 12 years ago, but just couldn't stay consistent with it.
Well, I'm much older now, but I'm still a huge wrestling fan. And, I have nothing but time on my hands. What better way to spend that time than rolling the dice. I wanted to start from the beginning, but noticed there are a number of sets that are out of print. So, I decided to go with the New Beginning Box Set. I also picked up the ROH Starter Set. My order went through and I was told they would ship today.
I've already started working on my Fed's back-story. The reason I got both sets was I am thinking of running my fed similar to the Raw / Smackdown set up. Two separate brands that share time on the PPV's, then once a year, have a head-to-head PPV similar to Survivor Series. As my fed grows, calendar-wise, I will advance through each year's set for my main brand, but I will add older year's sets, indy sets, and maybe some legends sets to the ROH brand (i.e. - the original GWF, the Invasions, the Revolution, etc.) I already have ideas on how to write the story to make this possible. I'm leaning toward a time-portal / cloning story......stay tuned.
I've always tried to begin with the GWF storyline, but the dice have a way of creating feuds and alliances that go way off script (so much so, that in my original fed, Star Warrior and Thantos were my tag champs for nearly a year). I'm looking forward to diving back in to the GWF Universe. I also look forward to interacting with everybody here on the boards, and sharing my highlights with everybody!!
