I think I have gone a little mad here- who is The Executioner? I've been missing out on LOW so have been catching up all morning. As always, great stuff- how do you manage so many wrestlers?! That Executioner seems to be everywhere right now  ) So who is he?! Terry Gordy?! |

Thanks for the comments Pariah, Joebreakdown and Walkswithwolf it is greatly appreciated. I had so much fun getting the 8MW guys involved in my fed for the first time. As you can see I am billing them as "sports entertainment" so they are considered special attractions like the Ring Angels division and the midget stars in my fed. They won't appear too frequently but they will have their place and who knows maybe one day will get their own show in my fed universe.
Roderick Strong by hook or by crook did indeed set the new record for LOW Tex-Arkana Television title with fifteen successful title defenses. When I booked the surprise appearance of AJ Styles I though that might determine a new champion but Strong survived again. The Bullet Club continues to haunt the House of Truth so I expect one day their will be a big blowoff match off some sort.
As for The Executioner he is actually The Executioner (Marcel de Sade) from the original 24 COTG set. I use him and Omega, renamed Chief Omega, in my fed and have used others from the original 24 set, like Khan and Wolf, in my fed in the past. That set was the first one I bought from FG and still the only COTG set that I have in full so I like to incorporate some of those guys if I feel they fit in.
Finally as to the roster question and managing so many wrestlers it is tough but I separate them into various territories (NWC, SWA, AWE, PCW, GWA, IWA, All-Star Wrestling, Kings Road United, SHIMMER, Ring Angels, and 8MW along with free agent piles) and try to shake things up from time to time by moving guys or gals around. It can be overwhelming but a lot of fun as I get to use a wide variety of cards. The scheduling part can be tough but I usually set up shows in advance and every territory gets a spot. The real tough part is actually finding time to roll the dice. I wish we had more than 24 hours in a day!
Anyway thanks for following along and feel free to ask questions about anything going on in my fed. I hope to have the next show, the opening night of the three show Kings Road United tour, posted sometime soon.

Muracco & Mosca Vs Magnum & Graham was the highlight for me...at Bull Curry. Just got back into reading the feds on here after a few weeks away. Catching up on one of my favourite feds. Also, loved Street's promo. I wrote up last night that he was going to get a new belt made in H.B.W.A. Must be something in the air! I forgot to address this and thanks for the compliment. When Exotic Adrian Street won the belt from Danny Hodge the first thing I thought of was he would probably not want the old belt so he would create his own colorful one. I'm also glad you enjoyed the promo. I could actually see that scene in my head as I was writing it. I also like that you are doing that too with the title belt so great minds really do think alike  Now hopefully Adrian can hold on to the title for a while or I might have to quickly retire his belt. It will be difficult to get by either Jushin Liger or Tiger Mask but we will see how the dice roll. |

Great explanation- thank you!
The only COTG cards I have are the ones I have got as freebies and I've not used them. Got the 8MW set though because I wanted to use them down the line.
i liked the Street promo a lot. I write a lot of interview spots for him on here and on another forum. He's probably my favourite card.

I have to throw props out to the best televised wrestling on the boards - LOW All-Star Wrestling!
I could just see Lance Russell's exasperation with Truth Martini.
I also got a big kick out of the Adrian Street promo. We need B-Mack to make a mini of that belt!

That's wickedly cool that Roderick Strong retained the strap, but what AJ Styles did with the Book of Truth was fun stuff. What!? I can't believe Dupae Rupa and Johnny Rodz lost to Doring and Roadkill, that's a real bummer. I can't wait for the FRAY Match, that should be epic...

Thanks for the comments Aceldamas and Crimson. I love writing up the LOW All-Star Wrestling show and I'm always happy to know that others enjoy it too. The Lance Russell-Truth Martini stuff wasreally fun to put together as I can just picture Russell's reactions to him. Same goes for the Exotic Adrian Street promo which was fun to write out and I say YES! YES! YES! at getting a mini of that belt.
I knew that Rupa and Rodz losing would rile you up Crimson. Doring & Roadkill just had their number and got a pretty convincing win. The Fray Match will be the second one that I run and I am looking orward to it too. Thanks again for the comments everyone.

Ok it is time to begin the three show tour of Kings Road United beginning with Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. I'm not sure how quickly I will be able to finish and post the rest of the tour but I hope that you enjoy the first show...
LOW Kings Road United - Korakuen Hall - Tokyo, Japan (Card #962)
1) The Mongols defeated C.W. Anderson & Brent Albright:
The opening contest of the tour saw The Mongols (Bepo & Bolo) take on C.W. Anderson & “The Shooter” Brent Albright. Bolo Mongol was making his debut on the team as Geeto Mongol is out of action indefinitely after being injured by Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito at the Seibu Dome (Card #950). Bolo looked fine in his debut but nearly came out on the losing end when Albright trapped him in the Crowbar. He survived and teamed with Bepo to later take out Albright with the Mongolian Drop and three seconds later it was over as Bolo scored the pin. It was a solid win for the retooled Mongols who will face Fuji and Saito on the tour ending show in Osaka.
2) Jushin Liger defeated Mr. Fuji:
The popular Jushin “Thunder” Liger, a record seven-time LOW Junior Heavyweight champion, stepped up to the heavyweight division to take on the devious Mr. Fuji. Liger nearly won it in the early going when he planted Fuji with the Brainbuster. Fuji recovered and strong armed Liger hoping to wear him down for the Banzai Drop. Things were looking good for Fuji until he went for a backdrop off the ropes only for Liger to execute a Counter Sunset Flip scoring the pin. The crowd cheered the win for Liger who will face Tiger Mask on the next card in Chiba in order to determine the next challenger for LOW Junior Heavyweight champion Exotic Adrian Street.
3) Young Bucks defeated Arik Cannon & Erick Stevens by DQ:
“The Anarchist” Arik Cannon & Erick Stevens stepped into the line of site of Bullet Club members the Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) for this tag team match. It was a great display of tag team excellence for the Bucks here as they dominated most of the way. They isolated Stevens for a good stretch and used their wide array of double-team attacks to maintain control. They hit the Indytaker on Stevens for a big near fall and also connected with both N’Sync and More Bang For Your Buck. It was the latter move that saw Cannon come off of the top rope with a knee to the head of Nick as he covered Stevens for the pin. That action by Cannon resulted in the referee calling for the bell issuing the disqualification for the illegal top rope save attempt according to LOW rules. Cannon was livid but the Bucks were happy and they celebrated with a “Superkick Party” laying out both Cannon and Stevens.
4) Moose Nation vs. Bravado Brothers was a Draw:
Two free agent tag teams in LOW squared off next as Moose Nation (Moose & Uhaa Nation, accompanied by their manager Stokely Hathaway) took on the Bravado Brothers (Harlem & Lancelot Bravado). Moose Nation was invited to return to KRU for this tour as a result of their impressive win over War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) at the Seibu Dome (Card #950). Their opponents the Bravado Brothers have made waves in such promotions as Evolve in the past but this was their first ever match under the LOW banner. Both teams put forth a great effort in this match, particularly the Bravado Brothers as Harlem had to do a lot of heavy lifting after Moose Nation got the heat on Lancelot for an extended stretch. Moose Nation put forth a dynamic attack including Moose hitting the Pounce several times and Uhaa Nation getting near falls with the standing shooting star press and standing moonsault. With time winding down it was the Bravado Brothers executing Gentleman’s Agreement on Moose but he kicked out just before the three count. The end result was a time limit draw with both teams looking impressive.
5) Giant Baba defeated Mr. Saito:
The action continued with Shohei “Giant” Baba, a former two-time LOW World Heavyweight champion and International Heavyweight champion, taking on the man nicknamed “Mr. Torture”, Mr. Saito. The regular tag team partner of Mr. Fuji was hoping to score a big win and it was Saito dominating much of the early action using chops and elbows. A well executed judo throw had Baba on the defensive but then he struck back hitting a 16-Mon kick, or boot to the face, scoring a two count. He then used a bearhug on Saito for a submission chance as the crowd rallied behind him. Saito mounted another offensive and executed a back heel trip but an alert Baba rebounded quickly and nailed him with the Jumping Neckbreaker Drop to score the pin. It was a big win for Baba and the crowd cheered him on his way to the back.
6) Adam Cole defeated Rikidozan by Count Out:
KRU founder Rikidozan took on Bullet Club member Adam Cole in a feature match. The early action saw Rikidozan score a quick two count with a slap to the chest followed by a scoop slam. He followed up with the Hiplock scoring a big near fall and had Cole in serious trouble. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) ran down to ringside to lend some support to Cole who began turning things around. Cole scored with a brainbuster onto the knee and then hit the Panama Sunrise scoring a near fall. A superkick to the head sent Rikidozan out of the ring where Cole followed to continue the battle. After a brief exchange it was Cole rolling back into the ring and distracting the referee. That led to the Young Bucks getting involved with Matt pulling Rikidozan down as he tried to climb back into the ring. Nick then basted him with a superkick drawing jeers from the crowd. The blow laid out Rikidozan as the referee turned around and began counting him out. The Bucks celebrated as if they had just won the world series as Rikidozan failed to beat the count back in and Cole was awarded the victory. The “Superkick Party” struck again and Cole defeated the KRU founder in controversial fashion. An angry Rikidozan grabbed the mic post-match and said that he would see Cole and the Bucks in Chiba (Card #963) where he will team with Antonio Inoki and The Destroyer against the Bullet Club members.
7) Andre the Giant, Exotic Adrian Street, & Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Antonio Inoki, Tiger Mask, & Kyle O’Reilly:
The semi-final was a highly anticipated six-man tag team match with Antonio Inoki, Tiger Mask, & IWA J-Crown champion Kyle O’Reilly taking on Andre the Giant, LOW Junior Heavyweight champion Exotic Adrian Street, & Zack Sabre Jr. It was a unique assemblage of talent and Street, accompanied by his valet Miss Linda, was in rare form displaying his new purple and pink championship belt while blowing kisses into a mirror held by Linda. Andre and Sabre didn’t know what to make of their partner but the main goal was to win the match so they were forced to work with the flamboyant Street. Inoki was on fire early and even managed to bodyslam the 450-pound Andre prompting him to tag out to Street. There was a buzz in the building when O’Reilly, the IWA J-Crown champion, squared off with Street, the LOW Junior Heavyweight champion, during the match. Street nearly won it at one point when he caught O’Reilly with the Crucifix for a big near fall. O’Reilly would have a great moment of his own when he avoided an elbowdrop by Andre and utilized both a triangle choke and guillotine choke on him. Tiger Mask was a standout on his team hitting moves like the tombstone piledriver, twisting moonsault and a variety of kicks. His exchange with Sabre Jr. midway through had the crowd on the edge of their seats. As for Sabre Jr. he was spectacular and helped set up the win for his team after hitting a suicide dive and rolling up O’Reilly for a near fall. O’Reilly was in a bad way as Andre tagged in and flattened him with the Big Splash to score the pin. The crowd cheered all six participants afterward for putting on a great match.
8) Steve Williams & Terry Gordy defeated Masked Superstar & Big John Studd:
The rivalry between these four men has been brewing for some time and after individual battles at the Seibu Dome (Card #950), where Steve Williams defeated Masked Superstar and Big John Studd defeated Terry Gordy, it was back to tag team action. The Miracle Violence Connection, as Williams and Gordy are called, had no time to wait for the bell as they jumped Superstar and Studd during the ring introductions. It was a smart move as it gave them the upper hand early and Studd had to save the Superstar from pinfall attempts after the Oklahoma Stampede by Williams and the Power Bomb by Gordy. The MVC did a great job of isolating Superstar from his tag team partner and the Superstar took a hellacious beating. The masked man was busted open by Williams during a battle on the outside and subsequently leveled with a football tackle for a big near fall. Studd looked on in anger from the outside waiting for a tag that never happened. Gordy stuck it to him by taunting Studd before he locked on the Oriental Spike. Williams stepped in and got into a football stance daring Studd to make the save as a bloody Superstar was forced to concede the match. It was a dominating win for the MVC and one that should put them back into contention for a shot at the LOW World tag team titles. Studd, on the other hand, was livid over the loss and began putting the boots to the Superstar. The crowd looked on in shock as Studd then pulled the Superstar up and trapped him in the Backbreaker until the MVC made an unexpected save. Studd stormed out of the ring and left his bloody, defeated, and perhaps now ex-tag team partner behind.

Exciting main event... Was very shocked with the manner in which Studd turned on Masked Superstar... Expecting this might lead to a brutal confrontation between these two in the future...
Successful night for the Bullet Club, even though there were some questionable antics taking place when Cole defeated the KRU founder, Rikidozan...
Superb victory for Jushin Liger to build some momentum, as he gets ready to face Tiger Mask for a shot at the LOW Junior Heavyweight Championship... And both Moose Nation and the Bravados showed a lot of determination, taking each other the distance in their encounter...
Really enjoyed the six-man tag action... Watching O'Reilly trap the Giant in a series of chokes would have been quite memorable...
Great opener for the KRU tour, my friend... Looking forward to the next two shows!
