Man, you're off to a great start! Awesome! Thanks! I'm thinking about moving some talent around. I don't like both Strangler Lewises in the same fed. |

Some fun action already here. The new charts are great! The hardest part is not rushing the big matches like Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt |

Rikidozan beastly as always. Nice win by the Strangler. Rikidozan has Baba next. I'm hoping he can hang on to the belt. |

Great win for Rikidozan... Baba will be a challenge! If Rikidozan can stay away from the Neckbreaker Drop, he'll be fine, I think. I'm wondering how long I can sustain this vintage, sports-based fed. I might play through the first season and shelf it until we get a few more vintage style guys to work in. |
