Cory Olson your wrestling team story reminded me of my high school wrestling career. I wasn’t good. At all. My junior year we wrestled a high school (Mills) and their team had one kid from another high school (Cappachino) that didn’t have a team. He still represented his school though. He was in my weight class so I wrestled him and pinned him so my claim to fame was beating the entire Cappachino team. That is awesome, throwingtoasters! Agreed, Grant! That is an awesome story. And I didn’t know you wrestled! |

Agreed, Grant! That is an awesome story. And I didn’t know you wrestled! As I said, I wasn’t good.  My first year I had one win. I won the losers bracket of a ‘beginner’s tournament.’ If that doesn’t sum up my whole wrestling career, I don’t know what does. My second and third years were a little better but not much. I picked up a win here or there but was usually second or third in my weight class. Our team won the District championship when I was a junior and the reason for that win was the incredible senior wrestlers. I could see that with all them graduating, our team was going to be miserable. I then wisely devoted my energies full time to acting. |

I wasn't very good either, only a few JV wins throughout high school. My coaching record is way better than my record as a wrestler.  I won my very first match in high school my freshmen year and one of my last matches my junior year. |

I am not caught up yet as I usually listen to the podcasts on my phone while driving to and from work but this past week I was briefly without a phone and I did not work all 5 days.
For Legends Vintage, Sherri Martel had the greatest success as she is now a 3 time Ladies Champion which is the most in my fed's history. Mildred Burke finally recently won the title from her but it took multiple attempts. Ida Mae Martinez was actually my first Ladies Champion.
For the men, I think Rikidozan had the greatest success for me with a record-length reign as my United States Champion.
also:
Jim Londos had a great reign as my Intercontinental Champion
Antonino Rocca once won my Royal Rumble and went on to briefly hold the EAWA Championship
Dan Severn is a former United States Tag Team Champion and a former tag team champion (with Giant Baba) and is now going for the Brass Knuckles Championship against Shane Douglas at Vegasmania 3
Yukon Eric and the updated Killer Kowalski had a great feud where Kowalski bit off Yukon Eric's ear and then they had a ladder match where the ear was the item hanging from the air. Yukon Eric had a crush on Ida Mae Martinez but he accidentally puked on her when he tried to ask her out.
I used SD Jones alot on my undercard and he actually won the first-ever RAW match in my fed's history. SD Jones is one of the black and white cards I most want to get colorized.
I used Ed Lewis but he never won any titles for me.
I used Konnan and he feuded with The Mountie. I would actually like to get this version of Konnan in color someday.
I like the Gary Michael Cappetta card but, like Tim said on the podcast, sometimes I would forget to use it for feud matches if I wasn't thinking about it.
Billy Red Lyons and Ilio Dipaolo I used a little but not extensively.
Another great show by the LOW team and I am hoping to start #67 this weekend!
