***As stated previously, I will be mimicing the WWE. My three leagues will be Fever(Raw), Vintage(Smackdown), and Hardcore(ECW).

For the build up to Wrestlemania I will be holding my tournaments for the belts. After Wrestlemania, my reports will be more in depth, but for now, basics is all you get. So without further ado, let's get to Card 1 of Fever

Yeah, I agree that real time is harder than it seems to play over a long period of time. Although I just got done playing out a full year (late March 2006-late March 2007) in real time for my own LOW fed, I might not be able to continue with real time either.

Here are my picks for your Wrestlemania PPV:

Race over Mascaras
Snuka over Ted DiBiase
Inoki over George
Gotch wins MITB (DDP, who I saw is also in this match for you, won my MITB match at my Wrestlemania PPV)
Masked Superstar, Baker, Bundy, and SD Jones over Credible, Corino, the Sandman, and Candido
Martel over Martinez
Baba over Muraco
Severn over Rocca
