Capital Wrestling Empire

[Slammin' Sammy]

After several reboots and debating what direction I wanted to go with my federation I have finally decided on what to do. Being from Jersey I'm most familiar with WWF and specifically 80s WWF. That was my prime and what I'm most familiar with. I wanted to do a territory type style but I think that would be too much for me as I don't have that much time. But I also have FOMO and do not want to miss out on using some cards. So what I've decided is to have my TV similar to Prime Time Wrestling which is what I remember the most and fortunately we have the Monsoon/Heenan card. I'll run a CWE classic match so I can use some of the cards of wrestlers that were before my time. For this federation I'll use all cards available to me, including official, both color and B&W and any boots I can find. So it'll be late 70s early 80s style to start until the Rock N Wrestling transition.
I'm going to start my federation as if has been running for years so I'm not running any tournaments.
My champions include:
World Heavyweight: Bob Backlund
Intercontinental: Pedro Morales
World Tag Team: Wild Samoans (Afa/Sika)

My first card's line-up is:
Jack Veneno vs Pampero Firpo
Miguel Perez vs Kenny Jay
Lou Thesz vs Gorgeous George (CWE Classic)
Carlos Colon vs Johnny Rodz
Bobo Brazil vs Killer Kowalski
British Bulldogs vs George South & Rusty Brooks
Pepper Gomez vs Mad Dog Vachon
Jimmy Snuka vs Jake Milliman
SD Jones vs Duke Doherty
Main Event - Bruno Sammartino vs Larry Zbyszko
