I ask because I just finished the qualifying round for my annual World Tag Grand Prix. One of the few cross-promotional events of the season. Some standouts... - The Naptown Dragons defeated the Von Brauners in 21:30
- The Age of the Fall defeated the New Age Outlaws in 15:30
So two LotF teams made it into the Quarterfinals! While unsuccessful, the team of Chuck Taylor & Savage T (yes, Savage T) had an exceptional match against the team of Steve Williams & Johnny Valentine, losing the match in just around 9:00. Valentine pinned Savage T with an Atomic Skullcrusher. How have the LotF cards fared against the other Legends in your fed? |

I ran a card purely of LOW v LOTF superstars once and it was a clean sweep for the LOW.
However, Larry Sweeney did once defeat Pepper Gomez by pinfall and The Naptown Dragons almost beat The Mongols.
Even though they came in LOW sets, I do consider the likes of Sabu, The Sandman and Danny Doring, etc as LOTF stars.

Major League Wrestling is my LOW fed and Minor league Wrestling is my LOTF fed.
At my Wrestlemania 2 PPV 2 months ago in Mrach, one of the matches was a 3-0 man batle royal of 15 wrestlers from Major League Wrestling vs 15 wrestlers from Minor League Wrestling. It came down to the final 3 wrestlers: The Crusher and S.D. Jones of Major League Wrestling vs Minor league Wrestling Champion Mike Quackenbush. As Jones and Quackenbush wrestled near the ropes, The Crusher eliminated both of them to win the battle royal.
Also, in my annual major tag team tournament the 3rd Annual Sammartino Invitational, there were a handful of Minor League Wrestling tag teams that advanced to the Second Round by defeating tag teams from Major League Wrestling (including the #14 seeded Naptown Dragons who scored the biggest upset in the First Round by defeating the visiting #3 seeded Freebirds for the biggest upset in the opening round). And in that tournament, Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black actually made it all the way to the Elite Eight.

And in that tournament, Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black actually made it all the way to the Elite Eight. That's interesting. Looks like Age of the Fall and Naptown Dragons performed similarly for you. I used Rahl Ratings to do my seeding and the Naptown Dragons were coincidentally also my #14 seed, defeating the #3 seed the Von Brauners. The Von Brauners are from Trav's Legends of Memphis but I've edited the stats after extensive play so that they're somewhere between The Mongols and Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff in effectiveness. Commensurate with where they should be, IMO, as one of the top 50 tag-teams of all time, according to the PWHoF book. The New Age Outlaws were my #5 seed and they were dominating the match against Jacobs & Black until Jacobs got bloodied outside the ring. Then it was on. Somehow Jacobs & Black pulled that match out from under BG & Kip James. It was a total robbery though. We'll see how they do in the semi-finals. They're about to go up against The Funks (ala Cory's bootlegs). And the Naptowns are going up against Antonio Inoki & Giant Baba. |

I am slowly incorporating LOW stars into my LOTF region (NWA-Northeast) and vice versa. Right now Sandman and Necro are engaged in a brutal hardcore feud that is about dead even. Sabu is getting the better of JD Michaels.
I have also had Quackenbush take on Tiger Mask for the NWA Junior Heavyweight title. Tiger Mask always won, but wow they had some of the best matches I have ever rolled.

I am currently getting ready for a LotF vs. LOW brand war to start happening between my Maple Leaf Wrestling fed and my Developmental Fed which will culminate into a major summer ending Supercard that will see some Survivor Series style matches take place between the LotF stars and the LOW stars. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Ooo. That's sounds fun. I'd totally turn Bruiser Brody and a few other LOW stars to the LOTF side. Just to give those guys a little more firepower. Besides, I think Necro Butcher would appreciate the opportunity to team up with Brody. Even if it's just on paper. |

That would be cool. Currently I have Necro under the tutelage of Ox Baker and making quite the name for himself. The two also team up together and are quite the team.
