LOTF2 Recap

[Vegas]

With LOTF 3 Trios getting released in less than 2 weeks, how did everyone from LOTF2 do for you?

MY LOTF fed is called Minor League Wrestling and this is how the wrestlers from LOTF 2 have done for me so far:

Brent Albright is part of my Evolution faction along with Adam Pearce, Steve Corino, Claudio Castagnoli, and their manager Larry Sweeney. Albright was the replacement for Chris Hero after Hero got kicked out of Evolution leading to a Albright-Hero feud.

As Age of the Fall, Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black are almost unstoppable for me in Minor League Wrestling. They even won my Double Down tournament in which they had to defend the tag team championship throughout the entire tournament. But they're going to have a really tough time retaining their title at Tworiffic (my 2 year anniversary show) because they're going to be facing even tougher odds for reasons Minor League Wrestling hasn't announced yet. So far, Jacobs and Black are the only wrestlers from LOTF2 to win a title.

Brodie Lee and Daizee Haze are currently both members, along with Jacobs and Black, of Age of the Fall.

Sara Del Rey teamed up with J.D. Michaels in a feud against Savage-T and April Hunter. Savage-T and April Hunter won that feud and now Del Rey and Michaels are currently not active in Minor League Wrestling.

Eddie Kingston and Erick Stevens are both also currently not in Minor League Wrestling. I used them both for awhile with mixed results.

Chuck Taylor is currently aligned with Savage-T and April Hunter and they call themselves The Terrible Ts because they think they spread alot of terror among the other wrestlers of Minor League Wrestling.

Ultramantis Black and Crossbones are currently teaming up but they haven't had too much success yet.

the Young Bucks made it all the way to the tournament finals of the Double Down and came extremely close to winning the tag team championship from Jacobs and Black. But overall, the Young Bucks unfortunately haven't been too successful in Minor League Wrestling yet.

I used Louden Noxious very briefly but I plan to use him more in the future. Dr. Cube hasn't made his Minor League Wrestling debut yet, but I'm working on a possible plan to team him up with Ultramantis Black and Crossbones soon.

In my Tidal Wave Sports umbrella promotions of Promo K Wrestling and Metro West Wrestling which are part of the overall TWS Pacific Promotions I have used several of the Second Fall edition...

Brent Albright one of my favorites is part of the PKW Fighting Spirits Crown Division with the team captain of Rikidozan, I thank Gunslinger for letting me carry on the Fighting Spirit Crown in my PKW and Albright has done okay but the overall team Rikidozan twice once under my run have won the PKW Fighting Spirits Crown Championship...

Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze have joined the ladies roster in my Metro West Wrestling and they're doing okay...

Eddie Kingston is a member of my Front Line Wrestlers group in Promo Kona Wrestling with Al Costello, Harker Dirge and the Heartbreak Dreams of Greg Valentine and Phil Davis and he has done okay...

Brodie Lee is part of my Metro West Wrestling and he just won over Killer Kowalski with the Big Boot and he is on the rise in the promotion...

Erick Stevens is teamed with Antonio Inoki with Inoki as the captain of the team who are part of the PKW Fighting Spirits Crown Division and Stevens rescent Qualifier win gave that team the upperhand and in the end Inoki wins the championship and is the current title holder...

So those are who I'm using at this time and overall they all have a factor in my promotions...

[Gunslinger]

Brent Albright was the singles standout from LOTF2 for me. He has wins over Terry Gordy, Frank Gotch, Rikidozan, and DLJ from the LOW roster. The standout tag team would be Jimmy Jacobs and Brodie Lee for me. Tyler Black has also done fairly well and Chuck Taylor is good for some big upsets. Eddie Kingston has found his way to the seldom used pile, mostly due to his one -3 move on L2O. It makes for long matches.

[markyhitch]

The Young Bucks are undefeated tag team specialists against AOTF. Sara Del Ray, again, is undefeated in battles with Daizee Haze. Eddie Kingston teamed with Mike Quackenbush to twice upset the Midnight Express. Brodie Lee once beat Jimmy Valiant in a special attraction. Brent Albright has wins over many LOTF stars but lost to Pepper Gomez in a trial bout.

[smathis]

Age of the Fall is doing well. They're on track to challenge The Heartbreak Express for the tag titles.

Brent Albright is currently in the tag division with D'Lo Brown. They aren't a bad tag-team.

Sara Del Ray has come out of the shadow of Sherri Martel and is doing some good stuff now.

The other guys/gals haven't done much for me. I'd had great expectations for the Young Bucks. But unfortunately the dice were not rolling in their favor.

We'll do this wrestler by wrestler:

Tyler Black - Has been a mainstay in Lucha Libre USA/International, and has held pretty much every title in the promotion at least once. Outside of Lucha, he hasn't really done a whole lot aside from teaming with Jimmy Jacobs in my Florida territory for a brief period.

Jimmy Jacobs - Never really used him much outside of a few shows in Lucha Libre USA/International, he's resurfaced recently in my Florida and Japan territories. He won my BJW Deathmatch title from Necro Butcher last time out in a Scaffold Death Match.

Brent Albright - Currently holds my Pacific Heavyweight Championship. He's done pretty well for me in Lucha Libre, BattlARTS, and other territories, but he's totally dominated PNW.

Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze - Both are the foundation of my LWF Women's Division as well as Lucha Libre USA/International's Reina de Reinas division. They've had some incredible matches together, and they're two of my favorite cards to use.

The Young Bucks - I liked these guys before I got the cards, became an even bigger fan after watching more of them and using them extensively. They've beaten the Midnight Express in my Smokey Mountain territory, and they've beaten pretty much every team in Lucha Libre USA/International.

Brodie Lee - Never really used him. When I did, he almost always lost decisively. Pretty disappointing.

Eddie Kingston - King's always been a bit of a start and stop kind of guy for me. He'll get on a roll, and then crap out in the big match. One of my favorite guys to book, I'm a huge fan.

Erick Stevens - Actually has a *clean* win over Andre the Giant in my Florida territory. Unfortunately he bungled the title opportunity it gave him, but he's always consistently had good momentum.

Chuck Taylor - He's been on and off in Lucha Libre USA/International, but he's wrestled in my Smokey Mountain territory, too. He hasn't had much success at all.

I'll just go down the list:

Brent Albright - started off I think 12-0 or 14-0. Something like that. Held the Underground Championship for about 4 months until Bryan Danielson defeated him. Since then he's had some struggles. He lost to Larry Sweeney and then turned heel. Since the heel turn he's been a real non-factor. He's currently teaming with Adam Pearce and their team is not going where I thought it would.

Erick Stevens - stunned the world and defeated Bryan Danielson for the Underground Championship. He lost the belt to Chris Hero about 10 days later though. Wins most of his matches but I prefer keeping him as a mid-carder.

Eddie Kingston - He's been a force for me. He won a tournament last May to become the first Underground Television Champion and then early this year he defeated Chris Hero to become the Underground Champion. He held the belt for 2 months which is a pretty solid run in my fed. This guy just wins and wins. If I had to guess, he's probably lost 4 or 5 matches in the last 15 months.

Age of the Fall - They had a rough start for me. I would say they lost their first 4 or 5 matches and then were a sub .500 team until the fall. Then they won a few matches in a row and got a title shot against the Kings of Wrestling. They won the match by DQ and got a rematch. They won the belts to my surprise but lost them about a month later to the Young Bucks. A few weeks after that they regained the belts. They proceeded to hold onto the tag titles for the next 5 months and just dominated. In singles Jimmy Jacobs has been next to useless. Tyler Black has been decent but has come up short in the big situations.

Young Bucks - Briefly held the tag titles. Otherwise they've been really streaky for me. They're either racking up wins left and right or they can't buy a win.

Ultramantis Black - He's been a real surprise for me. He managed to defeat Harker Dirge for the Underground Championship and went on to hold the belt for a few months. He then topped that by ending Bryan Danielson's 7 month Underground Television Title reign. I'd say he wins a little under half of his matches which has really surprised me. He's been a really solid performer.

Chuck Taylor - He's had his ups and downs. He briefly held the Alpha Championship before losing it to Sam Hayne. He unsuccessfully challenged Brent Albright for the Underground Championship last fall. Other than that he's been a little directionless. I'm looking forward to F.I.S.T. showing up and really give him a purpose.

Brodie Lee - probably the worst performing card in the set. He made it to the final of the Underground Television Title tournament but lost to Eddie Kingston. He teams with Necro Butcher but they don't win a lot. He pushes a lot of guys in the ring and then ultimately falls. I can live with that.

I'm just now trying to get a women's division moving so I have nothing to say about Daizee Haze or Sara Del Ray.

I'll add the SEs for fun.

Dr. Cube - now here's an interesting card. He's been really tough and beaten a lot of guys. He actually just had a clean win over Drake Younger. He debuted and defeated Eddie Kingston for the Underground Television Title. That one was a real shocker.

Crossbones - he had quite the feud with Bryan Danielson. He even defeated him for the NOW Heavyweight Championship and successfully defended it against Danielson once. He also teamed up with Ultramantis Black and Dr. Cube and cleanly defeated Nigel McGuinness, Brian Kendrick and Paul London in a six man tag. Other than that, he gives most guys a scare and then loses.

Brent Albright - has been a beast in the NWA. He is 16-8 and the #13 contender to Nick Bockwinkel's World title. He was ranked higher for a while but a few losses Bockwinkel and US champion George Hackenschmidt have knocked him down. He's been feuding with Adam Pearce, Albright has dominated the feud. No Titles held.

Tyler Black & Jimmy Jacobs (DIFH) - yes, I call them DIFH. I first saw Black in WSX and I liked WSX (I am that 1 guy) so instead of Age of the Fall I call them DIFH (Doing It For Her). They started in the AWA briefly going 2-2 in tag action while Black was 2-0 in singles and Jacobs was 2-4 in singles. They moved to the NWA and are currently feuding with the Samoan Island Tribe. They have a 4-4 record as a team and are the #12 contenders to the NWA Tag Team titles. Tyler Black is 2-0 in singles (4-0 overall, maybe it's time for a singles push) and Jacobs is 1-1. No titles held.

Sara Del Rey - is in the NWA battling for the Womans title, feuding with Daizee Haze and managing Tyler Black & Jimmy Jacobs. Sara has a 10-9 record and is the #2 contender to Penny Banner. Sara is a 1 time NWA Woman's champion (lasting 4 cards).

Daizee Haze - is in the NWA feuding with Sara Del Rey and not having as much success as Sara. Daizee is 6-8 and the #5 contender to the womans title. No title reigns.

Eddie Kingston - I don't know if it's because I'm not very familier with him or what but Eddie is one of the 2 guys in LOTF2 I don't enjoy too much. He is currently 6-9 while wrestling for the NWA and feuding with Erick Stevens (the other guy in the set I don't care much for) No titles held.

Brodie Lee - much like Kingston & Stevens I don't know much about him BUT I enjoy Brodie Lee. Lee is 11-9 in the AWA, he was ranked in the top 20 for a bit but has recently hit a losing streak. Lee is feuding with Dupae Rupa right now but will soon turn heel and start a team with Necro Butcher. No titles held.

Erick Stevens - as I already mentioned... don't know what to do with the guy, he's currently feuding with Eddie Kingston in the NWA. Erick Stevens is 11-9 with no titles held.

Chuck Taylor - Chuck is a fun character, doesn't do too well but he's fun and pulls off some shocking upsets here and there. Chuck has a 6-15 record in the NWA and is feuding with SD Jones. SD Jones' partner Koko B Ware is feuding with D'Lo Brown. Chuck has been telling everyone that him and his partner D'Lo will destroy SD & Koko, this is news to D'Lo as he and Chuck have never teamed and D'Lo isn't exactly sure who Chuck Taylor even is!!! Now that Chuck has friends coming to the NWA soon (Team FIST), maybe he will make sure D'Lo knows who Chuck Taylor is! No titles held.

Young Bucks - they are feuding with the Heartbreak Express in the AWA. The Bucks are only 6-13 but have wins in their last 3 matches, 2 big shockers! They beat the Heartbreak Express, the Road Warriors by DQ and a clean victory over Larry Hennig & AWA World champion Curt Hennig. In singles Nick is 3-5 and Matt is 3-4. I wish their cards were a little stronger, I really like these guys. Depending on how their cards look I'd really like to have Osirian Portal feud with these guys next. The Bucks haven't held any titles, but they've each given some of the top JR Heavyweight contenders good tough matches.

UltraMantis Black, Crossbones & Dr Cube - Dr. Cube is managing these 2 in the AWA and it's coming down to the wire for manager of the year between Cube, Paul Ellering and Capt Lou. The Neo-Solar Temple are currently the #6 contenders to the AWA Tag titles, the also held thoses titles, beating the Vachon's, for a whopping 1 card before losing the titles to Snuka & Brody. As a team they are 8-5. In Singles action, UltraMantis Black is 2-4, Crossbones is 0-5 and Dr. Cube is 3-2. They have been involved in a hardcore feud with Harker Dirge & Sam Hayne.

[TTX]

Let's see
Brent....like a lot of people, Brent has been one of the top guys even against the more mainstream talent.

Black and Jacobs won my tag belts, but eventually broke up. Black moved up to my LOW fed while Jacobs is in limbo until Trios is out.

Sara and Daizee have wrestled off and on as needed

Kingston-solid hand but in limbo until Trios

Lee-had a good feud with Necro, eventually turned face and teamed up with Arik Cannon until the fed went into limbo

Stevens-an underachiever. He's currently in limbo as well.

Taylor-most entertaining guy. He's in limbo like the others.

Bucks-up and down team. IN limbo like most of the others.

Neo Solar Temple-shocked everyone by winning my tag belts. In limbo for now

Dr. Cube-surprisingly solid singles wrestler. In limbo.

Brent Albright has been a top face for my NWA-Central States developmental territory. Had some troubles with Nigel, but came out on top. Should continue to be at the top of the card until promoted to an LOW region.

Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black. Jacobs had a short run as a top heel, but quickly fizzled out. Dice just not fond of him. Black is the top heel in NWA-Central States and doing well. Looking forward to him regaining the regional gold soon.

Brodie Lee--been impressive as the monster heel. Currently working in the tag division.

Daizee Haze--pretty middle of the road career so far.

Sara Del Rey--recently beat April Hunter for the NWA-Northeast women's gold. Has been very effective as face or heel.

J.D. Michaels--currenly feuding with Nigel after beating Austin Aries. I see a bigger push in the near future. Funny thing is he started out cold, but has moved up the ranks the past few months.

Eddie Kingston and Chuck Taylor. Having an entertaining feud.

Erick Stevens--really making a statement as an upper card guy both in Central States and Northeast. Only a matter of time til he wins gold.

Ultramantis Black and Crossbones are currently teaming up with Dilirous, but not making much progress against the Colony.

The Young Bucks have dominated the Central States tag region. Currently on loan to Japan, but about as hot a tag team as there is right now.

Louden Noxious is a commentator for NWA-Northeast. He claims he is bringing a new team to town. Curious what he has in mind.
