It makes you wonder? Everyone knows the WWE employs people to do nothing but surf the net all day...not to mention the high number of WWE 'Legend' that also know Tom...so is it possible someone in Stamford knows about this little corner of the Galaxy?

I"m sure they're checking out the site to see if they can see if Tom is stealing any of "Vince's ideas he came up with"
But on that topic, I'd love (well, not love because I like JR), but if he really is gone (and that's hard to say), join the COTG family and be part of Legends.
I'm sure they know about it since it isn't like other wrestling sites where it's all gossip, etc.

I would say it's pretty unlikely. If they took any interest it would more likely be in the LoW game so that they could find some potential lawsuits about Tom. The real wrestling boards here are not active enough and don't have enough posters to really benefit them I don't think.

I think he does and someone in the offices plays COTG as well. So the WWE steals Tom's and our ideas all the time

If they took any interest it would more likely be in the LoW game so that they could find some potential lawsuits about Tom. 1) If they scout the freaking Chapelle show for ideas... 2) Lawsuit against Tom? Impossible. Tom is a true business man who cuts no corners. Each of his Legends has signed an official release. Not gonna happen. |

I would say it is possible. Maybe not on a day-to-day basis, but occasionally.
I am certain he is aware of Filsinger Games, seeing as how so many Legends are signed to WWE contracts now.

I think they do. I think it all stems back to when Tom first approached him with a Compu-Card game. I think that ever since that day, McMahon has always kept a secret eye on Tom. To see if he let a gold-mine get away, and what he could do to snatch it up. Face it, Tom has cornered the tabletop wrestling game market, and I would be willing to bet money that COTG and LOW are out-selling the WWE roleplaying game. It would make sense for McMahon to spy out Tom every now and again.

On the TNM mailing list I had a WCW fed I posted...and my angles kept popping up in slightly mutilated fashion about a month later on WCW at the time. Since a good number of wrestlers are registered users of TNM, more than one person thought a conspiracy was afoot...=)

That is interesting. You guys may be right because I remember a situation just like this in fantasy wrestling. My e-wrestler's name was Flaming Bob...it was about 1998...and I noticed that Chris Jericho was doing the exact same thing on Nitro that Flaming Bob had done on our show about a week previous. It could be coincidence, but wow...what a coincidence. I knew at the time that we had Nova of ECW fame on the mailing list, so it was not at all impossible that Jericho could have been on it too.

TNM is a wrestling simulator created and programmed by Oliver Copp. Two angles off the top of my head were: Goldberg's heel turn, complete with the ambiguous spear...although in my version, it was Flair and Sid, not Jarrett and Nash that were involved. And I pushed Booker T to the WCW World title right about a month before WCW hotshotted his win over Jarrett in real life...I'm wracking my brain now, but it's been a few years since I've even read my own fed. It wasn't long after Summer 2000 that I stopped running my fed concurrently with WCW...ironically, that was around the time they dumped Russo for a few weeks. www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=TWU is the only archive that I know of featuring my WCW fed...thrill at the arrival of Insurrection, gasp at Berlyn's controversial actions that forced WCW to be sold, cry at the WrestleCrap that unfolds before your eyes in the Raven vs Sting feud that once had an Internet Wrestling Community simultaneously praising me and damning me to the same circle of Hell occupied by Vince Russo. |

i think "they" pay more attention to tom and the gwf than we think.i know it was a long time ago, but do you remember when the wwe started grouping wrestlers together?doa, nation of domination and others i dont remember.sure there was always the horsemen, but never a lot of "super groups".
big bri's right though...if they "stole" more ideas , the wwe would be a lot more entertaining!!

I still think it is stupid every time I hear the WWE anouncers call Chis Masters' move the Masterlock. I wish Thantos could storm the ring and lock on the true Masterlock on Masters.
