I st on my couch and play on a card table in front of the TV. I often will have either WWE 24/7 on (for example today I watched ECW's Living Dangerously PPV from 1999 while playing out the results for the latest edition of the Smackdown brand for my LOW fed) or a baseball game from my Extra Innings package or sometimes Sportscenter on ESPN while I'm playing either COTG or LOW.

I'm jealous that you get WWW 24/7, i would love to watch old wrestling vids.

Yeah, WWE 24/7 is awesome and I think it only costs me about $6/month. I definitley recommend it to anyone who is a wrestling fan.

I think tomorrow I'm going to play some COTG while watching a WWE house show on WWE 24/7. The house show is from Boston in 1989 and some of the matches listed for it include Hulk Hogan vs Big Bossman in a steel cage, Rockers vs Brain Busters, Ronnie Garvin vs Mr. Perfect, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Bushwackers vs Dino Bravo and the Rougeau Brothers.

That would be cool. It's not offered in our area that i know of. It may be but i don't have digital cable yet. Just up to channel 74

I have lots of vids/dvd's of wrestling so i watch some occasionally. Have best of WWF vhs from the 80's on now

i sit at the dinning from table which faces out TV.. It doesnt matter whats on the TV, it doesnt really bother me. I will do all the play by play in my head.

I started a note book for ideas and future matches. I do my best thinking at work. Only wish I could play at work. that would be great. ;D

I usually play on the floor especially if other people are around because the dice on a table make a lot of noise but if I'm at home, I'll use a table in view of my TV.

I usually will put on some wrestling DVD or put on WWE 24/7 and have a PPV or one of the Monday shows on.

Used to be the kitchen table upstairs but now it's the computer desk downstairs. I'll almost always have a CD or my XM online playing, and quite often the kids are running around me while I'm rolling, so it's rare I get a time when I have alone time when playing. But I'm used to it now. It also lets my boys see my hobby and will occasionally get them to ask questions about what I'm doing, hopefully paving the way for future players!

I usually set up a TV table in the family room. And while my wife watches TV or whatever, just roll the dice, mentally do some announcing, and keep track of the interesting facets of a given match.

Though with aCe I've done the full-blown stat tracking, with GWF and POW I still assemble fight cards like I have for the past 20 years, in a binder or notebook with various colors of pens.

To Payback's point, I roll the dice on a notebook or book to minimize the loudness.

I have been known, when I'm playing COTG by myself, to occasionally do the play-by-play out loud

Ever try a folded over towel Aquinas ? it works great for me. Not thats theres anything wrong with your suggestion BTW.

I normally play in my bedroom with the cards and dice placed on an A4 notebook where I keep results. I have different notebooks for GWF and LOW. So far I think I am on my fourth for GWF. I can listen to almost anything while playing. Music, podcasts, wrestling DVDs, stand up comedy shows, TV shows, movies. Pretty much anything that I am able to listen too.

It rearely happens but I feel so psyched if a good match I'm playing goes parallel to a wrestling match on the TV. The crowd reactions and the dramatic parts with the announcers going wild near the end really add to the atmosphere.

[victoryroll84]

I play the game in my bedroom with no tv or music on.

[executioner]

Sitting in the living room, usually with Discovery Channel on. I use a magazine as the "ring" with a pile for the heals and faces, "a lockeroom of sorts."
