Referees

[lucifer]

Having an extremely hard time gathering info regarding the newest additions and unfortunately, I'm a stickler for not "crossing" eras. It would appear that Woehrle retired in the mid-80's, correct? And Marella began his WWE career in 1983, but the earliest match I can find him refereeing is Hogan / Andre at WMIII. Lastly, there is little to no information regarding James Beard. Did he ref in the 80's? Any idea when his career began? Any help / info would be greatly appreciated...

Didn't Beard's career begin in World Class?

Beard began sometime in the '80s and reffed well into the 2000s, mostly in Texas but also in Japan for NOW and SWS.

Woehrle was gone from the WWF by about 1986 or so, but officiated for Pro Wrestling USA and east-coast Crockett shows afterward (he can be seen most prominently arguing with Jim Cornette at the '88 Great American Bash in Baltimore, trying to get him to put on the straitjacket).

Marella was around well before WM3. 1983 sounds about right--he would have only been 20 so it couldn't have been too much longer before then.

I would love to hear about your fed. Do you not have Thesz or Rogers wrestle guys from the ‘80s? I am really intrigued by this!

Funny that you mentioned Thesz, as I currently have him installed as my “commissioner” and no, I don’t have the “classic” era guys tangle with the 80’s era, as my imagination just isn’t that vivid. I also don’t mix black and white with color and bootlegs are forbidden. Having such a “restricted” roster helps with cycling guys in and out when new cards do get released. Recently, I’ve been using some of the vintage cards to recreate actual matches from the past, with the intention of adding one match to each “episode” as sort of a “classic rewind” segment. As for posting fed results, it’s pretty much either “play” or “post” as far as free time and I would much rather play. I find posting results to be way too much like work and it’s actually turned me off from the game in the past. However, I have been thinking of using the new 4-pack as a sort of “jumping on” point to start posting, as there is no way I would have the time to post the results of the 100+ episodes, plus supercards, that make up my fed’s history. My current champions are: Nick Bockwinkel (HW), British Bulldogs (TAG), Adrian Adonis (TV) and Fabulous Moolah (Ladies).

Really like the idea of using the vintage guys for a "classic rewind" segment. Always trying to find the time to work on my television show, and that would be a great way to add a segment and get a chance to enjoy my vintage guys.

This is why I love the game so much: the way different players run their feds amazes me. I am definitely stealing the classics rewind and might even replay some of the actual matches that occurred for the World Title as well! Thanks for the idea!
