I've been a sports sim gamer, both cards/dice and PC, for over 40 years. First wrestling game I bought was Superstar Pro back in the day. I also have Face To The Mat. I've seen quite a few videos lately featuring the Filsinger Games and thought they looked pretty cool, so I figured I'd give this game a shot.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD: I guess I'm more of a wrestling historian than a modern day wrestling fan. I still try because I hate to think of myself as a "lapsed fan" but there's so little out there that actually holds my interest, so I just turned to the past. I really love wrestling from the early TV days (late 40s and early 50s) up through the very early 80s. I know it's probably sacrilegious to some, but I really don't particularly enjoy much after about 1985 unless it has a nostalgic value to me (a lot of 80s/early 90s WWF, SMW, or GWF for example).

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD: I've played several sports games and made quite a few auto racing games myself. I'm currently working on a dirt track racing game that will apeal to people that want to play the game in addition to people that want to just collect the cards. They will be like sports cards with the game card on the very bottom of the back. The first set I'm working on is Heroes of Iowa Late Model racing. I've also made a college basketball game, but I have some work left to do on it and having touched it in over 10 years. I got into COTG because it was a chance to have a "Real" wrestling federation as opposed to the works of professional wrestling.
