    INJURIES

    So February is almost done and I hadn't suffered any injuries... and then get three in one show, including two members of league teams, including Adam Copeland which will also take him out of the TNT Championship match at Revolution.

    @Wrestling Machine Adam Copeland is now out of action for around 4 weeks. You have a choice. You can keep him in your squad but obviously can't use him for a little while or you can replace him with somebody not currently with a team. If you choose to replace him, you can only resign Copeland in a transfer window or at the end of the season. I shall explain a litte more about the transfer window shortly.

    @stratusfaction Similarly, Trinity is also out of action, for around a month. You can also choose to replace her or keep her in your squad in the same manner as Wrestling Machine above with Copeland. You also have an extra option... Trinity has surgery available for her back injury. However, it is rated as high risk in the game.

    Both of you please let me know what you want to do, and in Stratusfaction's case what you want to do about Trinity's surgery. As her manager, you get the choice.

    To assist you, these wrestlers are in AEW, healthy and not signed to a league team and are rated well known or above in the game.
    Chris Jericho
    Orange Cassidy
    Adam Page
    Anthony Bowens
    Brody King
    Cash Wheeler
    Daniel Garcia
    Dax Harwood
    Hook
    Jack Perry
    Jeff Hardy
    Matthew Jackson
    Max Caster
    Miro
    Nicholas Jackson
    Roderick Strong

    Anybody outside of AEW can be chosen, provided they are able and willing to sign a contract in the game.
    I am aware there are no women on that list. All the ones rated well known or above are already signed to league teams.

     

    TRANSFER WINDOW
    I was going to wait a little bit before I release details of the mid season transfer window, but as it isn't far away and there are now some managers who have decisions to make and the upcoming transfer window may be a factor in their choice, I shall give details of the mid season transfer window now.

    It will start when five or more teams have had at least 16 matches (currently one has had 14, one 13 and four 12 before Collision this week).
    It will end when five or more teams have had at least 24 matches (each team will have 40 matches in the season).
    You as a manager will be free to release anybody in your squad for any reason. Outside of a transfer window the only reason you can release somebody from your squad is if they become unavailable to wrestle. This wrestler then becomes a free agent and can be signed by anybody else.
    You can sign anybody not signed for a league team you want. If this is a non AEW wrestler, it is dependant on them being able and willing to sign a contract in game.
    You can sign anybody from another league team, provided the other manager agrees to let them go. If the other manager refuses to release the wrestler, you can't sign them.
    You cannot go above the maximum of 4 men and 3 women in your squad.

    Any questions or queries, please feel free to ask.

     

    AND FINALLY...
    I know I haven't really given any clues... who do you reckon is the masked man in black?

    Nobby, I want to keep Trinity and NOT do surgery. I'll just focus on Tessa and Taya while Trinity is out.

    Oh no, I messed up with the time zones and forgot to send my picks in on time.  I am so sorry :(

  5. Hate to revive this but I would love a 1999 or 2000 mod. I tend to want to play these years the most but as far as I am aware, there are no mods from these years. 

    A question I have for modders is why don't more modders join up to make mods together? That way it's not just one person taking on all the responsibilities...

    That's only two you've picked for the trios match.

    And you do remember you have Will Ospreay in your squad don't you? You've not selected him once yet. :D (though granted he's not always been available).

    Oh goodness, I totally forgot to put him into the trios!  Obviously I wasn't paying attention!  

    Yes, please put Ospreay into the trios

Therefore the deadline for selections will be 13:00 UK time 08:00 Eastern US time on Saturday 23 March. Dynamite and Rampage should be posted later that day. I am then on annual leave for 12 days so I should be able to whizz through a couple of weeks in that time even allowing for having my two wonderful children for 7 consecutive days. Just a little pre warning for a quicker turnaround in a couple of weeks. :)

    World X Cup Semi Finals: Team Alpha Generation (Carly Colon/The Von Erichs) vs Cult of Doom

     

    The first semi-final in the World X Cup pitted the Cult of Doom against the newly formed Team Alpha Generation - the team of generational superstars, Carlos Colon Jr. (f.k.a Carlito) and The Von Erichs who had been blazing their own path in the World X Cup. While the freaky appearance of the Cult stirred them at first, their family genes and talent took over as Von Erichs and Colon started to dictate the pace of match. A Back Cracker on PCO brought them inches towards the victory but Herald interfered, saving the match.

    Von Erichs came to double team Herald but the Cult leader changed gears as he pulled of his power moves, slamming Marshall and Ross outside before a scary top rope flying crossbody dropped them both down. Just as it was looking that Cult of Doom would make their comeback...

    Jake Something, The Digital Media champion ran out and while the referee was busy tending to Von Erichs, he hit Into the Void on The Herald and then running powerslams on Steve and PCO. Carly tagged himself in and hit the Back Cracker on PCO to get the win, courtesy of Something.

     

     WINNER: Team Alpha Generation
    Grade: 48

    World X Cup Semi Finals: Team Mexico (Vikingo/Max Assault) vs The Rascals

     

     

    Max Assault, the team of Black Taurus and Laredo Kid who would team up with their fellow countrymen Vikingo and they had created a huge upset as they defeated Team UK in the 1st round. 

    They came up with another fan favourite in the tourney - The Rascals. While Reed. Trey and Wentz were upto their usual antics and pulled off the green spray paint over Kid's face and hit the Hot Fire Flame, Taurus stopped the countdown and then hit all three of them hard. With Reed trying to go for the spray paint, Taurus caught him in the act and delivered a humongous buckle bomb which forced the can out of Reed's hand and it shattered on impact, releasing the paint directly and unfortunately right in the face of Miguel and Wentz and Vikingo capitalized by hitting the 630 Senton on Wentz to create another big upset.

     

     WINNER: Team Mexico
    Grade: 55

    World X Cup Semi Finals: Wrestling's Most Wanted vs Time Machine

     

    This was the match that everyone was waiting for, especially after the brilliant tag team match between MCMG and Beer Money in the go home episode of TNA Impact had everybody salivating.

    The proceedings started slow with KUSHIDA and Nic Nemeth but things kicked off in high gear as KUSHIDA drives the left shoulder of Nemeth into the steel ring post. KUSHIDA leaps off the top but is caught in mid-air with a Uranage. The fight spills to the outside where Nemeth hits an Implant DDT on the ramp. KUSHIDA hit a top rope moonsault for two and then they tag in their partners. MCMG and Beer Money once again cross paths and the brawling style of Money and the breathless tandem style of MCMG made for an interesting dynamic again.  Shelley hits a Shell Shock on Roode and Sabin hits a cross body but Storm and Nemeth were waiting in the wings. 

    LAST CALL to Sabin........Superkick to Shelley. Nemeth follows up with a Danger Zone to Sabin and WMW had progressed to finals.

     

     WINNER: Wrestling's Most Wanted

    TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Title Full Metal Mayhem : Team 1 to 1 Million (c) vs Hex vs Fire-N-Flava vs SHAWties

     

    The first of the two tag title match, these one saw eight of the brightest knockouts fighting to win the belt. Itoh and Yamashita had been holding the belts since the start of the year when they won it at Hard to Kill and they were in their 5th month of being the champion. The impending retirement of Allysin Kay made them the emotional fan favourites with the crowd who wanted Allysin to win the belt for one last time. Hogan and Steelz were on their 2nd attempt, having previously fumbled a direct attempt at the title and Shaw and Evans were ranked outsiders but had the strongest build up prior to this match.

    We saw some death defying stunts pulled up by the competitors, especially Steelz and Allysin as they battled each other while holding a belt apiece before scissoring each other and dropping down to the floor below but the belts remained intact. Yamashita flied from a ladder to another preventing Belle and Evans to catch the belt as they crashed through the table kept ringside.

    Itoh having saw a clear opening quickly got hold of a ladder and tried to rush towards the top but Shaw met her midway and after some brutal face punch exchanges, Shaw hit an Eat Defeat which forced both of them to crash in the ground. Evans used a ladder as a battering ram and clobbered all the others before she threw it on Kiera Hogan and she buckled under the ladder's weight.

    Having destroyed all the ladders, Evans found a smaller one. She first lifted Shaw on her shoulders before passing up the ladder to her. Shaw climbed to the top while Evans was holding it and retrieved the belts before dropping down.!!!!

    We had new champions!!!!!

     

    WINNER: SHAWties (new champions)
    Grade: 52

    STRONG Women's Title : Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs Jordynne Grace vs Trinity

     

    This was more the story of the progressing hatred between Grace and Trinity rather than Purrazzo's title defense and this was showcased for the large portion of the match as Grace and Trinity unloaded on each other without paying heed to Purrazzo who was being punished whenever she tried to interfere. 

    This played into Purrazzo's hands as once Grace got the upper hand when she hit Trinity with the Juggernaut Driver, she moved in swiftly and dispatched Grace with the Queen's Gambit before locking in the Fujiwara Armbar on Trinity and she had no choice but to tap out.

     

    WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo (defense #4)
    Grade: 57

    TNA World Tag Team Title Full Metal Mayhem : ABC (c) vs Bollywood Boyz vs Grizzled Young Vets vs Team Canada 2.0

     

    These replicated their Knockout counterparts in high intensity action and death defying action.

    Bailey was the show stopper and his highlight was hitting the Ultima Weapon from the top of a 30 foot ladder on Harv Sihra crashing both of them through the table. Young also matched his team mate as he soared over the top of the ropes to hit a elbow drop on Drake.

    Multiple attempts at climbing the ladder was seen but the real chance came at the hands of Gibson who started climbing and almost reached the top rung before Bey came flying in with the Art of Finesse that took him and Gibson out of the ring. Austin had a clear shot at the title and he climbed and retrieved the titles to successfully defend their title for the 9th time.

     

    WINNER: ABC (defense #9)
    Grade: 63

    STRONG Openweight Tag Title : The Pillars (c) vs 5150 (Danny Rivera/Slice Boogie)

     

    Yet another tag team from MLW made it's way to challenge for the Openweight tag titles as Rivera and Boogie from 5150 came in to the ring. A standard match which heightened the difference in talent as Maclin and Alexander were far above in quality than their rivals.

    Boogie tried hard to match the physicality of Maclin and Alexander but in the end, it was too much for him and Alexander hit the C4 Spike on Rivera to defend their title for the 7th defense.

     

    WINNER: The Pillars (defense #7)
    Grade: 50

    World X Cup Finals : Team Alpha Generation vs Team Mexico vs Wrestling's Most Wanted

     

    There was a definite drop in quality as all three teams arrived into the finals having already wrestled a high intensity match earlier. While Carly Colon and Von Erichs were the freshest having got the maximum rest between matches, it was Vikingo who stole the show as he hit the hurricanrana on both Nemeth and then Marshall Von Erich.

    Taurus and Roode clashed in a battle of tanks as they exchanged chops and while Black Taurus won the exchange with a pop-up Samoan Drop, Storm saved the day for his partner as he hit the Last Call superkick but in turn got hit with a poison rana from Laredo Kid.

    A Back Cracker from Carly Colon followed but he could not capitalize as Nemeth returned and hit the Superkick on him before hitting the same to both the Von Erichs. He was taken out by Vikingo but by that time, Bobby Roode had come back.

    Laredo Kid went for a springboard poison rana but he was hit with a lariat mid air before Roode hit the Pay Off to win the match and the World X Cup.

     

    WINNER: Wrestling's Most Wanted (World X Cup 2024 Winner)
    Grade: 36

     

    image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

     

    Storm, Roode and Nemeth then joined at the centre and celebrated with the crowd drinking beers before Storm declared that the Most Wanted era is here. Beer Money will be cashing their World X Cup win by challenging ABC for the tag titles at Against All Odds. So, A Bloated piece of Cunt, sorry about your damn luck!!!!

    SHOW RATING

    42

    Little sad about Allysin Kay retiring without winning the tag titles again but it is what it is.  

    Glad Deonna retained and I'm hoping Wrestling's Most Wanted takes the titles at Against All Odds.

    Great show!

    I would vote for option 2.  I think having an extra wrestler available can by helpful should a team member be injured or simply unavailable.  Also, I think that by having the extra team member can open up the possibilities of more strategic maneuvers.

    I agree with this... 

    My vote is for Option 2
