Fredkc6cfb's GWF (2119)

[fredkc6cfb]

Over the past 3 days I have completed the 3 card "Galaxian Wrestling Classic" which was the official kickoff of my GWF promotion.
Here are the results:

Card 001 held at the Alpha Centauri Colonnade Centaurus
Opening matches: The Fighting Titans def. The Troubleshooters when Payback pinned Muss following a table splash.....Switchblade downed the Amazing Mann by pinfall following "Blade of Retribution".....Valour got past Tanck, pinning the powerful villain after a series of "Valour thrusts"....The Gladiators made quick work of Minotaur & Antak, beating the young Animen by pinfall following "Atheran Atrocity" on Antak....
GWF Championship Tournament Round 1: Disaster crushed American Guy, pinning Andrews after a pair of sick "Gladiator Piledrivers"....Tauran scored a rapid victory over Killprey, pinning the huntsman after an "Equuleus Spinebuster"....Bloodline overcame Encubus his former ally, pinning the son of GWF legend Thantos after a "Shining Star".....Endgame humbled Epoch, pinning the Colonizer leader following a "Northern Lights Bomb" (despite interference by Slavebeast).

Card 002 held at the Cathedral of the Swirling Mists Orion, Ring Nebula, Opening matches: Encubus & Sly Drury downed Stars & Stripes when Encubus forced U.S. male to submit to the "Maffei Masterlock"....Tanck beat Switchblade by pinfall following an "underhook powerbomb"....Endgame defeated The Betrayer by pinfall following an "Michinoku Driver"....Bloodline wrestled Epoch to a time limit draw....

Card 003 held at the Tokyo Dome, Earth
Opening matches: Anivar, & The Fighting Titans defeated The Greatest Show In The Galaxy in an exciting 6-man match-up when Anivar pinned Steele freak following a Senton Bomb.....American Guy overcame a slow start to beat Encubus by pinfall following a "Peacemaker Slingshot"....Valour beat Tanck by disqualification.....Switchblade battled Sly Drury to a time limit draw.....The Colonizers grabbed a victory over Swarm & Minotaur when Epoch pinned Minotaur following a successful double team and a failed pin save attempt by Swarm.....
Singles Tournament semi-finals: Tauran upset Disaster, pinning the Gladiator following a "gutbuster body drop" with only seconds remaining in regulation.....Bloodline won a brilliant technical encounter against fellow heroic grappler Endgame, pinning the warrior from Corvus after the "Cosmic Big Bang"....
Tag Team Tournament Final: The Gladiators defeated The Troubleshooters to become GWF Tag Team champions after Havoc pinned Muss following "Aethran Atrocity" (this occured after a blown "Trouble Times Two")....
Singles Tournament Final: Tauran defied the odds to become the GWF Heavyweight Champion by pinning Bloodline following outside interference by Encubus. Bloodline had just nailed Tauran with the "Cosmic Big Bang" when Encubus jumped up on the ring apron and distracted Bloodline. Bloodline immediately went after his former ally, as match official Phillip Haas went to check on the downed Tauran. With the referee's back turned, Encubus threw some sort of powdery substance in Bloodline's face and then nailed him with brass knuckles, sending the young hero to the mat. Once Tauran recovered he saw Bloodline down and went for the pin. Haas made the 3-count and awarded the championship to Tauran, as Encubus made a rapid retreat from ringside.

After the Event: after the Tokyo Dome event was finished, Tauran was told about Encubus' role in his victory. Enraged, the new GWF champion was prepared to give back the title belt and set a rematch to determine the GWF Heavyweight champion, however due to the rules of the tournament this was not possible and Tauran is the official GWF heavyweight champion. He has since spoken with both Bloodline and Commissioner Massif and has made known his plans to give Bloodline the first shot at the GWF title, later this month. Tauran has also demanded a match against Encubus (non-title).

Continuity I purposely failed to mention specific dates for these 3 cards which combined to make the Galaxian Wrestling Classic. That way I have some wiggle room for holding a second pay-per-view style event this month. Since the next supercard (Spring Stampede) is happening in August, 2119. I'd speculate that the GWC occured between January and April of 2119.

Here is a link to a copy of my Fed's newsletter. I really would have liked to expand it, but Imageshack limited the size of the file I could download.
This is the only copy of my newsletter that I will post here. All others will be archived at my site and my MySpace page.

The GWF's annual Spring Stampede is coming up. As always, the event will be held at the historic Dorado Stampede, one of the galaxy's most legendary venues.
GWF Champion Tauran will defend the title against Bloodline in a special rematch of the Galaxian Wrestling Classic final, and the Tag Team champions (The Gladiators) will defend their titles against a challenger to be named later. Other bouts confirmed for the event (so far*) include the finals match in the Interplanetary Championship tournament and a "Tough Man Battle Royal" where the only way to be eliminated is to tell one of the referee's at ringside "I quit!".

* fightcard subject to change without notice.

Looking forward to the tough man battle royal. Bloodline - Tauran should be a classic.

Sounds like the Encubus - Tauran non title bout could lead to booking a three way dance at the pay-per-view. That would be extreme!

Keep the dice rolling

Thanks for the comments!
I was thinking of a 3-way. But I'll wait and see what kind of heat the matches between Tauran-Encubus, and Tauran-Bloodline create first.

As I become a bit more familiar with the new cards though, I am having problems with all the add-1 moves and the excessive finishers based on power or agility. I'll be making some changes. I prefer the old style, where add-1's were limited to only one or two moves, and double finishers were the exception and not the rule. The new style just doesn't work for me. I don't like it. Especially since I've always ignored power and agility ratings anyway, in favor of quicker, more fluid matches.

So, tomorrow I will probably spend most of the morning doing that.

The +1 moves and extra features did take some getting used to and slowed my first few matches down. However, I think they add something extra to the matches. The +1 moves make Payback one of the most exciting cards to use. The Tag features keep the trouble shooters and Stars and Stripes in tag matches exclusively. As well, the extra features counter balance the low pin ratings on most the cards. If you use Haas as your referee, several wrestlers start with a zero pin rating.

However, everyone is different and it is up to you how to run your fed. I just think that the new features work well if you give them a chance.

[fredkc6cfb]

I guess I can give the new style a chance to grow on me.
And if, by the end of September I am still unsatisfied with the pace of gameplay or the way the multiple add-1's and finishers impact my card results I'll just chuck the results for 2119 and start over with altered cards, or make changes that will go into effect as I begin 2120.
