Latest News- The Rogue Legends and Future Stars are making the most of this opportunity while the majority of the Legends remain in a walk-out status. Despite lacking the big names like Andre the Giant and Frank Gotch, the LWF seems to be chugging along just fine. That's bad news for the Legends currently holding out on their contracts.
- The 2010 World Tag Grand Prix lacked some of the firepower of previous events but the Briscoes put on a stunning performance despite it all. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong were also standout performers in the tag tournament.
Coming This Month- For the next month, LWF World Champion Adrian Street will be preparing to face his first contender. For the next round in the LWF 2010-2011 season, Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Terry Funk and Steve Corino make up the Contender's Bracket. McGuinness already has a claim to the title, having lost his shot at it after a controversial decision by the LWF Board. Steve Corino has also been hanging on to his spot in the LWF by a thread.
- The Challenger's Bracket will be Les Thatcher, Sabu, Strangler Lewis and "Playboy" Buddy Rose with the winner of the bracket advancing up to the Contender's Bracket.
- The Qualifying Bracket features many new faces in the LWF, including "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, Jerry Lynn, Mr. Fuji and SD Jones.
- This month the LWF World Tag Team race will feature The Backseat Boys, Boris Zhukov & The Terrible Turk, Sandman & Necro Butcher as well as the Naptown Dragons. There will be no Qualifying Bracket for the Tag belts this round because the Briscoes won an opportunity to go straight into contention -- taking the spot of the loser of this month's Tag Contender's bracket.
- When the Tag Qualifying bracket returns next month, it will feature the Love Brothers -- who earned a second chance to qualify -- at the #1 spot.
Regarding the Walk-OutThere is no more news on the walk-out, outside of a few big stars who seem to be rethinking the hold-out. Word is that the Legends are seeing their spots and belts being taken by young, hungry talent and that's not sitting well with them. Expect a few more big names to pop up on the LWF's radar soon as the walk-out continues to lose steam.

Given the state of competition in the LWF right now, I have no doubt that I’ll have one of the longest title reigns in the federation’s history.

Sorry for the looooong time between posts. Other things getting in the way and all. Looks like a fairly underwhelming season in 2010. Strangler Lewis has done terribly. Terry Funk failed to meet expectations. And the Nigel McGuinness-Adrian Street matchup has failed to deliver in the ring.
On the plus side, the Heartbreak Express are the most dominant tag-team champions I've had since the Valiants Axis of Evil (Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff).
I'll try a few things to kick it up for the next season. I'm doing one more pass through on the 2010-2011 season before kicking off the 2011-2012 season.
Meaning four shows from now will be Legendsmania. Here's hoping Superstar Graham and the Briscoes can push this to the next level. Otherwise, I'm going to be at a loss...

I looked over your LWF Title History & Fed ( Booking ) History and you have a very deep concept but pretty simple. I really like it and I'll be following along, first up on LWF217 I was pulling for Rose to defeat Lewis but that was not the end result and I really liked that tag match between Street & Gilbert vs. McGuinness & Jones. Bryan Danielson over Terry Funk to me is a nice upset and on LWF218 I like that tandem of Zhukov & Turk, plus them winning over the Dragons is a good thing and it's nice seeing Street & HBX as your Top Champions...

Thanks, CC. I did something a little different with this season. All the "big name" wrestlers are on strike. That's forced me to play the rest of the roster, with a couple of exceptions here and there -- like Funk. Strangler Lewis. My dice just never go his way, it seems. And that was the first time I've really used Terry Funk. Man, that was a let down. I'm going to fire it up for the last few cards and then consider some big changes down the road. Thanks for the kind words.

Previously on LWF…- Sherri Martel returned to the LWF as the manager for former LWF World Champion, Superstar Graham. Graham immediately began harassing current World Champion Adrian Street.
Graham sat at ringside for one of Street's matches and got into a shouting match with the champion. At the end of the match, Street and Graham brawled outside the ring briefly.
Then Superstar Graham and Sherri Martel ambushed Adrian Street during an interview, destroying the set and bodyslamming Miss Linda through a table.
Following that, Street charged into one of Superstar's matches with a steel chair and viciously attacked him. Street bloodied Graham and sought to end his wrestling career with the Daffodil.
Challenges were made, words were exchanged, security was doubled and now the two will face off in a STEEL CAGE for the last World Title match in this continuity.
- The Heartbreak Express looked like they were going to waltz out with one of the best tag-title runs in the history of the LWF. Until the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff showed up for a match in the place of Boris Zhukov and the Terrible Turk!
The Heartbreaks barely got out of the ring alive and a challenge was issued by the Axis of Evil to determine at LegendsMania who was the greatest LWF World Tag Team champions once and for all!
