Yeah, iron hand is a robot but drury also donned the armor. Book is a LONG read.
Kind of cool no one came to the bar as me and Tom got to have a cool conversation about wrestling!

I didn't have that much of a problem of it being Sly (although I think the "deliberately deceptive" is probably accurate.) Overall, I really enjoyed the read. Some thoughts:
-would have liked to have a cleaner look at how the Overmaster took over. I get the idea of a coup, but it was just *poof* no more Disaster.
-some of the tag-teams are just odd..Havoc and Payback..Nosfera and the Betrayer? Really?
-Really like the whole Oracle and Tricks set up. The idea of this "Dark Carnival" makes me not want to take my kids to the circus!
-LOVE Hector....being a psych major, I always envisioned Tricks using these kind of ploys. We haven't had a "Hannibal Lecter" type character since Vengeance!
-Really like that the Gladiators are getting back to their roots....kicking everyone's trash who gets in their way. But only 3 members and one of them is this rookie Rush who doesn't seem to be very "awe-inspiring?" Next year's tag-team better be AMAZING!
-I think Wolf might be in trouble and have a humbling exit.
-Thought the whole Bloodline/Encubus thing was odd. Bloodline is ticked off and walks out....but they're still a tag-team for at least one more year until he retires? Either let the cat out of the bag too soon, or the break should have been cleaner.
Overall...again...I am soooo stoked about this set. Not since WarGames (and me being about 13!) have I been this excited AND have the set live up to the expectations! Now if I could just get those cards to see if the Overmaster is really bad enough to take out Spike so easily.....

So on a whim I ran some Monolith vs Aethran Overmaster in two 100 match ups and 1000 match up and Monolith clearly dominated The Aethrans next big thing so its good it was Endgame he is feuding with.
Simulation Summary
Monolith - 750 win(s)
Aethran Overmaster - 248 win(s)
Simulation Summary
Monolith - 78 win(s)
Aethran Overmaster - 21 win(s)
Simulation Summary
Aethran Overmaster - 20 win(s)
Monolith - 79 win(s)

Sorry for the off topic post.
As far as Drury being Iron Hand it works perfectly for my fed and really ups the factor that the robot Iron Hand 'injured' Drury and tried to keep him out of the title picture.
Not sure where to go from here as Drury is an active wrestler and both Monolith and Encubus want the gold.

My Jaw dropped when Kris sent me the info to plug into Online. At that time, all I had was the commissioner card. Now that I've had time to read through, I think this may be my favorite game year.

Iron Hand being Sly Drury wouldn't make a lot of sense for my fed since they fought each other in a fight the power match. The best thing for me to do at this point is not go by this and have someone take out Iron Hand and have Drury step in as the new commissioner. This wouldn't be hard since Iron Hand made so many enemies

Tom was not happy that all three aethrans were first round exits in the first tournament ... No, you read that right, FIRST ROUND exits!

Wow! I wonder if this is up there with Dr. Death beating Monolith.

The Aethrans are still under powered in my opinion.
Simulation Summary
Disaster - 55 win(s)
Aethran Overmaster - 45 win(s)
Simulation Summary
Aethran Overmaster - 37 win(s)
Disaster - 63 win(s)
Simulation Summary
Disaster - 67 win(s)
Aethran Overmaster - 33 win(s)
300 matches and Disaster wins hands down. Still one of the Gladiator greats.
