Its all a matter of perspective and scale, my friend. From where I live, its about 750 KM to the nearest major (in excess of 1 million people) city. Its 1750 KM to get to the west coast. And about 2600 KM to go the opposite direction and hit the major population centers in Ontario.

What makes it interesting is that for all of this size and space, we only have 35 million people. England has 53 million alone. And the entire UK could fit into my province a couple of times over.

Pretty much why we were thinking about it, at the time you could get a 3 bedroom place with 10 acres & a lake for C$50000 (at the time roughly £22000), sounded like a great idea... then we looked at the hoops we'd have to jump through to relocate and changed our minds

A mere 400 KM away from me.

Yeah, just roughly half the distance from the bottom to top of mainland UK.... tis nothing!

Spotted something small. Coleman Lewis is noted as being from Medicine Hat in Ontario. Medicine Hat is in Alberta.

That would be my fault... years ago we were going to emigrate to Canada, Medicine Hat was one of the places we were looking at and I was sure we only looked at places in Ontario.... ah well, I'm sure it'll be sorted out eventually

Been wondering something, jhd1. Which promotion in Thunderverse Japan is most like Golden Canvas/Black Canvas? Heavyweights all the way, rich history but sort of down on it's luck, etc... I know UPJ sort of promotes that Heavyweight-over-Cruiserweight style, but it's much more NJPW than GCG style.

All you'd really need to do in UPJ is finish what the owners started and fire all the Juniors....

He seems like he should have pretty high menace (I gave him 71).

yeah, 70s sounds about right to me

It's the unknown decade, isn't it? The same with C-verse, a serious dearth of wrestling knowledge.

Fair enough I suppose, but I figured folks would want to know about active workers, not yet to debut ones...

Why so many post-1980 requests guys?

Yeah, sendspace is great provided you hit the right link.

In the middle of the page is a rectangular light blue box with a 'Click here to start download from sendspace' written link in it.

That's the one you want to click <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Roughly half way through the series and with the majority of 'lesser' articles out of the way, figured I'd share the cover to show what's coming up over the next few weeks <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Here is the third 'scan' in the series of articles from the January 1980 issue of the North American Wrestling Observer, this time the article regarding the state of women's wrestling in North America

Cheers, glad you like them

Here is the second 'scan' in the series of articles from the January 1980 issue of the North American Wrestling Observer, this time the article regarding the scene in the UK...

So, while we were researching for the ThunderVerse circa 1980 I happened to find ( ) a near mint condition copy of the January 1980 edition of the North American Wrestling Observer in a box in my basement!

I mean yeah, the NAWO was always full of ads, probably around 50% of the mag to be honest and usually for businesses linked to the US scene, and quite often rammed with typos, but there were some interesting articles in there that gave us some insight into the scene at the time too.

So I've scanned in a few of the pages, here is the first one (of at least five) for your viewing pleasure, with the article on a new style that was sweeping the nation at the start of the 80s...

No need to thank me, I'm the middleman. Direct all praise to jhd for his sterling work!

Oh, I see! Don't credit the guy who made the titles then.....

Does anybody have an alt of El Estandar without his mask?

I've put together a sub-par franken-alt using his eyes, beard & the same expression.... whether you want to use it or not is your business

For future reference, stuff like this should go in the ThunderVerse Alts & renders thread

Does anybody have an alt of El Estandar without his mask?

Doesn't exist to my knowledge I'm afraid...

GRAB YOUR AVIATORS & BOMBER JACKET,

Why do I get a feeling the ThunderVerse is about to go all Marty McFly on us...

Didn't we do that already with the LotharioVerse though?

I downloaded this last night and started looking at the database today (checking out workers, companies, etc) Why is there two promotions called:
Against The World Wrestling
and
Against The World Wrestling (Copy)?

Something must have gone wrong for you during the installation of the mod, because there isn't

Well more than one Season Finale a year WILL incure penatlies. Personally I'd run it as both "end of season" shows are longer events and choose between either the June or Decemeber show to be set to the Season Finale setting. That way both shows are bigger than standard, but one of them is slightly more exciting to fans.

Either way it makes sense cos they could either do a big summer blow-out or a spectactular end-of-year extravaganza which would account for the season finale boost

Can't say I've ever thought about it that way but I can see where you're coming from. Virgil's an old-school AWC guy so no doubt it'll come through in BCW's booking and roster.

I agree to some extent... however with his sons in the mix he is probably likely to push younger talent than the old guard, children are the future an all that, using the old guard to train up the next generation.

But then, the AWC was always about giving younger workers a shot, sink or swim, back in the day...
