Love the cards on the site, and i'm not trying to take this thread off topic so if i am someone could just private message me. I was wondering though how can I print these cards to make them look and feel as much like the official cards as possible? Any help would be appreciated since I dont really have a print shop program or anything.

Hey, Mark!
I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time, but your .wps files of your wrestlers' character sheets are over 60 pages long, and kind of hard to read. It's as if you were trying to copy the whole .html page and pasting it into a .wps file. All I kept getting were strange characters, followed by a lot of page breaks. Then when you got to the actual stats, you really had to search through the document just to read what each line said. I don't know if this make any sense to you, but you might want to check it out, just to be on the safe side.

I created the .wps files way before I created the html pages. There was no cut and paste involved. Each format is created individually. I've used three other computers to download the stats off the site to check them out and haven't had this problem. But all of them are working on the same operating system and have the same version of microsoft works word processor. I'm not real sure what may be causing the problem you describe and no one else seems to have had it happen, or they haven't told me. My guess is that your computer doesn't have a compatible MS works program.

Since I'm still running Windows 98, the Microsoft Works program that came with it usually has trouble reading documents created with versions higher than it. (I'm not sure, but I think my MS Works is version 4.0) |

very good job Mark. I had Rose and Bagwell teaming as understudies to Gorgeous George.
Luger can now come into the mix and have Buff turn on Rose for being fat and lazy. This will lead to a feud with Totally Buff vs George/Rose.
Keep it up Mark!!!

Just curious Mark, I'm sitting in a Photoshop class (bored since I have a degree in graphic design, just work is paying for us to go) and am on the net.
I came across some old drawings of Hogan, Goldberg, Hart, Angle, etc. Just curious, why haven't you used those guys yet on your site?
OH well, back to class....

I have a better Hollywood Hogan drawing that I will probably put up on the site at some point. Goldberg would have to be redrawn. I don't like the old one. If I can find the original of the old Bret Hart drawing I may retouch it a little and use that one sometime. If I'm going to add anyone current to the web site, it will be Eddie Guererro. But I write that now and I may get bored one day and decide to put Hurricane or someone up. So who knows? The whole thing mainly depends on who I want to draw on a given day. There are some great wrestlers who will most likely never be on the site simply because I don't want to draw them. There may also be some who will make people scratch there heads that show up simply because that's who I decided to draw.

I actually had some card stock at work and printed them here  thanks to Travis formatting them for me. Definately wanted to say thanks to everyone mark included that has made these bootlegs possible, they look exactly like the regulars and with the undercard guys along with others has added a lot of depth to my fed. |

Hollywood Hogan and Bret Hart. Now those are guys that could shake up some feds. I would love to see them posted and plans on when we might see these guys?

Mark T your work is amazing and I will definately be adding your bootlegs to my fed. Would love to see an Adrian Adonis to team with Jesse the Body. Also anyone worked on WWF/E and or WCW Alumni? Would be great to get some of these to add to my game at some point.

Great work Mark! I've taken a break from LWF but am soon to pick up for more mayhem.
In regards to your comments about not drawing some great wrestlers, I would encourage you, as the creator of these bootlegs to do what inspires you, I like many others are very greatful for the work you have put in even when it was a wrestler that didn't inspire me.
Thanks!

Thanks. Undertaker circa 1993 will be up sometime this weekend. After that I will be putting up the Hollywood Hogan, with Bret most likely to follow. They will all be up within the next two weeks.

Mark, I made a Hogan bootleg a few years ago and I came up with a good way to handle the "Hulking Up" Issue. If Hogan rolls his pin, he can choose (2 attempts per match) to "Hulk Up" by rolling one die. If the result is 1-4, play normally and Hogan rolls his pin. However, if the result is a 5 or a 6, Hogan "Hulks Up", and the opponent is assumed to have been given the Big Foot/Big Slam and legdrop and rolls their pin (with a +4 rating, which is double the normal +2 I gave the Big Foot-Legdrop combination if rolled normally.) Also, Hogan is assumed to fight off all interference when he Hulks Up.
