That’s a cool idea with the spreadsheet set up like thar. Any chance of sharing that spreadsheet? I can share the spreadsheet, but honestly, it's probably better that I just share the function formula. The spreadsheet is broken down into each color set I've purchased (all of them) and I am running a small territory. 18 total wrestlers (10 singles, 4 tag teams) and I just play as the booker. I let the spreadsheet decide who I pick from each set when it's times to cycle in new talent. So what I've done is take the "A" Column and put each of my wrestlers in the spreadsheet. For example, if we take the starter set (16 cards), I would enter each card into the "A" column on the spreadsheet - in this case all the cards were entered into column "A" rows 2 - 17. Then I would enter the formula below and it will give me 1 wrestler from that group. Then I got to expansion set I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, etc. I did take the tag teams and give them their own space on the spreadsheet to have them selected. Also, King Kong Bundy, Andre, female wrestlers and the expansion VII pack wrestlers are all considered one-off, special attraction talents. They won't hold a regular spot in the fed. They only come on once every 3-4 months (game time) in my fed. Anyway, here is the function formula. And if anyone needs the spreadsheet, just PM me. ***Please keep in mind the numbers you see following "A" in the function formula is for the rows that will be included in that expansion set. You'll have to do this for each set or group you break your cards down into so that you only get 1 from each group/set.*** =INDEX($A$103:$A$109,RANDBETWEEN(1,COUNTA($A$103:$A$109)),1) This is the ultimate in nerdiness and I love you for it! Lol |

Hi, I did not want to post this in public but am disappointed in the set. Not due to characters or content but the condition of the cards. 1, the entire set was curved and bent. Never had a problem withbthis before as my mailbox is large enough but this was apparently in shopping.. 2, and more disturbing there were 2 cards had discoloration as part of the printing. Two oval shaped dead spots exist on the Backlund and Monsoon card. I can provide photos but it is clearly a mistake in printing. I can provide photos if anyone from FG sees this. Did you pm Tournament Master? I'm confident he'll make it right. No I have not but maybe will do so before I send an email through the website. |

This is the ultimate in nerdiness and I love you for it! Lol Thanks! I actually came up with the idea to "just be the booker" when I just couldn't figure out what to do with my fed. I kept starting and re-starting and stopped posting b/c I wasn't finding anything that stuck for me. I finally went with Cornette's theory of having a small roster so you can use everyone, in some capacity, on a match card. I found this much easier to manage. I then decided to stop overthinking who to include and came up with the idea that Excel would be the promoter (picking/hiring talent) and I would have to build my territory around what excel "spit out" on the spreadsheet. Making me just the booker! It might not work for everyone, but it works for me b/c now I'm not getting that "paralysis by analysis" feeling every time. Instead it's just "This is what you have to work with, go sell some tickets!" |

The spreadsheet idea is excellent, I often have a struggle with who to bring in when I add new people to my Fed. On Piper, I've been using him since his B&W debut. He's a past Fed Champion who carried on a major feud and exchange of belts with Randy Savage and is currently feuding with Johnny Valentine who recently won the belt from Savage. The color card is just another reason to keep using him. He really works best as a heel for me, but a heel who uses verbal skills to get under opponents' skins. Of course the occasional hidden object assures that he will remain a heel.

Piper will be fast-tracked right to the top in my fed by challenging Heavyweight champion Randy Savage, fresh off a successful title defense against Nick Bockwinkel.

Using a lot of new stuff in my Fed's big spring Pay-Per-View: "Border Wars." The Monsoon-Heenan card sparked an immediate Piper-Bobo Brazil match that started with Piper using a chair on Brazil. A little more mayhem and a Coco Butt later left Roddy on the losing in but it sets up some excellent opportunities for an ongoing feud.

Since my next PPV is actually my Royal Rumble, I think Piper might debut as one of the surprise TBA wrestlers so at #19 (or whatever number he draws) the bagpipes will blare and Piper will make his debut as that entrant.
I could also instead have Piper debut at the end of a PPV with bagpipes blaring to send a message to the winner of the main event, sort of like how John Cena made his return with his music at the end of Money in the Bank two nights ago after Roman Reigns defeated Edge.

Just got my replacements in the mail after a short getaway and all is good. Appreciate all the help with them and here. |

I always thought Don Muraco replaced Piper as Orton's partner-in-crime.
