Thanks TTX I was struggling with what I wanted to do for my legends fed. My old NWA which only had a handful of cards was fun, but felt like it lost a little of the territorial flavor you could get with a legends fed. So I wanted something a little smaller. Being in Chicago, I started looking into the history of the area and, because I wasn't too thrilled with going with the AWA which would have replicated a lot of what I was doing with NWA, I thought, why not dig deep and really run it like a smaller localized territory. Chicago has such a fascinating history in pro-wrestling and I figured why not capitalize on some of that. Starting out the roster is going to be a little heavy with top guys, but I have a plan in place to transition to utilizing the under- and mid-card guys. Hope you enjoy! |

Some exciting Round Robin action to crown champions.
I'm picking HARLEY RACE to capture the Worlds title
BRUISER BRODY to win the US strap
the ROAD WARRIORS to destroy on their way to taking the tag straps.

Looks like some spectacular action lined up... Really hard to pick winners with such a great crop of talent, but I'll give it a go... Lou Thesz emerges as World Heavyweight Champion... Magnum TA claims the United States title... Thinking a DQ decision might spoil Brody's chances... Have to agree with DMKII: 'The Revenge' in regards to the tag tournament... Road Warriors are taking this... Can't wait! |

Thanks DMKII: 'The Revenge', I should've been more clear, though, it'll be single elimination. I love round robins tournaments, but I think this would've been too much tournament stuff to get things started. That said, there will be a round robin singles tournament down the line! Solid picks from both you and Pariah. Without spoiling anything, after rolling out a few cards, your picks are still alive... Look for results coming this afternoon! |
