[Skummy]

<p>Started playing the "Montreal Aftermath" mod, as I like a relatively clean slate to start from, and that's as good a point historically as I could think of for the WWF conceivably moving in drastically different directions to where it went in real life. I intended it to just be a bit of a nothing game to pass the time, but ended up very quickly becoming one of my favourites I've played.</p><p> </p><p>

To start with, Vince has given me the Owner Goals of not hiring anyone over 35 (irritating for me, as I tend to build around veterans, and because it meant I couldn't hire Terry Funk when he left ECW in early '98), and that I had to get Faarooq and Blackjack Bradshaw considerably more over than they currently are. </p><p> </p><p>

Steve Austin wasn't doing too well as a figurehead, so I removed him while I look for the next best choice - this affected his morale, which was already low as a result of the aftermath of the Montreal Screwjob. I was planning on taking a long route to Austin/McMahon, which entailed slowing down on Austin's push a little anyway - but less than two weeks before the Royal Rumble, Austin handed in his notice. This meant I rushed him into a couple of big TV matches to wrap things up and get the best I could out of him, but that everything beyond that was up in the air.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

So, headed into the Royal Rumble, I'm lacking a tough guy/rebel top babyface in Steve Austin. In fact, the whole babyface side of my roster is pretty lacking compared to a bloated heel side. The Undertaker is, by far, my most over face, but he's wrapped up in a feud with Kane.</p><p> </p><p>

My solution is to split the role between two people. Ken Shamrock takes over as the tough guy, and is the next challenger for Shawn Michaels as WWF Champion. Owen Hart returns after a short hiatus, as an anti-authority babyface hellbent on revenge against Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels.</p><p> </p><p>

Vince, meanwhile, is gradually transitioning into the Mr. McMahon character with a series of sitdown interviews stemming from the "Bret Screwed Bret" promo. He doesn't go full heel at all times, though, as he still butts heads with DX, who he sees as running roughshod over his company - so he's somewhat torn in the middle between Michaels and Hart.</p><p> </p><p>

Over this time, though, Vince does start to build a version of The Corporation - up to this point, no full-time wrestlers have sided with him, just a series of "Yes Men" who have Vince's back; Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco at first, soon joined by a heel turned Sgt Slaughter and Gorilla Monsoon. </p><p> </p><p>

Owen Hart challenges Shawn Michaels for the WWF Title at the Royal Rumble, and Michaels wins by DQ. Later in the show, Hart takes out Headbanger Mosh and steals his spot in the Rumble match, going on to win the whole thing, much to the chagrin of Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon, leading to Vince tolerating DX if it means he can get Owen Hart out of his hair.</p><p> </p><p>

Also at the Rumble, Mike Tyson is the guest of honour, interviewed in-ring by Vince himself. Before Tyson can confirm why he has come to the WWF, he's interrupted by Ken Shamrock, who takes umbrage with Tyson calling himself "the most dangerous man on the planet". Over the coming weeks, Tyson aligns himself with the Nation of Domination, and they serve to beat down and humiliate Shamrock - leading to a match announced for Wrestlemania, pitting Tyson against Shamrock to determine the real World's Most Dangerous Man.</p><p> </p><p>

Unfortunately, Shamrock gets injured a few weeks before 'Mania, and the match is off. With no suitable replacement opponent for Tyson, he gets slotted into essentially the role he played in real life, and he becomes ringside enforcer for Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart.</p><p> </p><p>

Michaels vs. Hart is booked as a very Attitude Era cluster****; Triple H interferes, in a blatant rip-off of Austin/Dude Love, Vince McMahon appoints Brisco and Patterson as guest ring announcer and timekeeper, Sgt. Slaughter as the second ringside enforcer, and Gorilla Monsoon as guest commentator. Original referee Tim White gets knocked out, and Earl Hebner is the replacement referee. With Hebner in the ring, Shawn Michaels gets Owen Hart in the Sharpshooter, and Hebner looks ready to call for the bell, only for Tyson to drag him out of the ring. Tyson prevents the screwjob and turns face, knocking out Slaughter, and allowing Owen Hart to lock in a Sharpshooter of his own and win the title.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Elsewhere at Wrestlemania, Sir Steven Regal's open challenge (he had debuted on RAW back in February, and cut a series of promos criticising American culture, leading to the open challenge at Wrestlemania) was met by Butterbean, who Regal was able to cheat to defeat.</p><p> </p><p>

The Kane/Undertaker feud I booked in, honestly, an utterly preposterous fashion. I was insistent that Undertaker not strike back against Kane until they meet in the ring at Wrestlemania, and my attempts to come up with ways of keeping them apart were increasingly nonsensical. </p><p> </p><p>

Brother Love returned to the WWF, with The Undertaker as his first guest on the Brother Love Show - which all turned out to be a ruse, allowing Kane, Paul Bearer and Bearer's new apprentice The Jackyl to jump The Undertaker and beat him down. This led to a match at the Rumble between Jackyl and Undertaker, which 'Taker won decisively. The Undertaker's music played during the Royal Rumble match itself, causing enough of a distraction for Kane to be eliminated.</p><p> </p><p>

The Undertaker would fall prey to Kane again at No Way Out, following a tag match pitting The Undertaker & Owen Hart against DX. With the help of DX, Bearer and his cronies were able to lock The Undertaker in a casket. </p><p> </p><p>

On a TV special two weeks before Wrestlemania, the casket reopened, and The Undertaker emerged, chokeslamming The Jackyl into the casket, and hitting Brother Love with a Tombstone, before beckoning for Kane to face him. Kane and Bearer backed down, however. This effectively - for the time being - killed off the Brother Love gimmick, with the intention to bring him back as Bruce Prichard and use him as another McMahon stooge. </p><p> </p><p>

The match at Wrestlemania, after all this, was relatively straightforward, with Undertaker going over. The feud is far from over, though, and they'll likely meet in a series of gimmick matches before all is said and done.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Other things going on - The Rock has taken control of The Nation of Domination, having defeated the newly babyface Faarooq at Wrestlemania. He has also enlisted Too Cold Scorpio to the stable, while Faarooq is insistent on fighting alone. Prior to this, NOD were able to defeat Los Boricuas and DOA in a three-way Losing Team Must Disband match, putting both other gangs out of the game.</p><p> </p><p>

The New Age Outlaws are ruling the tag division, fending off challenges from the New Blackjacks and the Legion of Doom, amongst others. They have recently teamed up with Sunny as their manager.</p><p> </p><p>

Vader was feuding with Goldust, and brought in Marlena to counter Goldust having Luna in his corner. At the Royal Rumble, Vader teamed with the returning Mankind against Goldust and Jeff Jarrett, but Goldust worked drug, and ruined the match - and not for the first time, meaning he checked into rehab shortly after. The next night on RAW, Vader turned heel when an attack on Luna Vachon went too far, and Mankind stepped in to break it up, resulting in a brutal No DQ match between the two, and a Last Man Standing match at Wrestlemania, which Mankind was able to win.</p>

[BigINMoldova]

<p>I wish I was written a journal for my 1997 WCW game. Goldberg won the title from Hogan in a screwjob at Starrcade then started a feud with new NWO member Scott Steiner. Hall and Nash attacked Sting on Nitro the night after Starrcade as revenge for the Hogan screwjob which lead to Sting bringing in Warrior and reuniting The Blade Runners against The Outsiders. </p><p> </p><p>

Mike Tyson joined the NWO and tried to attack Sting after a match but he got speared by Goldberg then at Souled Out, Tyson tried to attack Goldberg in retaliation for the spear but got beaten up with a bat by Sting instead.</p><p> </p><p>

Sid Vicious won World War Three and has a title shot against Goldberg but he's dealing with Bret Hart now because Bret is feuding with The Flock and Sid recently joined The Flock. </p><p> </p><p>

The Thrillseekers are also together and Jericho is almost a Main Eventer. They've mostly been helping Bret deal with the NWO.</p><p> </p><p>

Shane Douglas also joined the NWO after they kicked out Konan.</p>

[Guest DutchMagpie]

<p>WWE in February 2018. I'm eight (game) months into this save now.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>RAW</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Universal Champion: Roman Reigns</strong></p><p>

Roman Reigns finally beat Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble for the title and is going to Wrestlemania as the reigning Universal Champion. His uncle The Rock, who failed to beat John Cena for the WWE championship at the Rumble, was the first to congratulate his nephew with winning the title on RAW the following night. He gave him a hug....and a Rock Bottom and he will now be challenging Reigns at Wrestlemania. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Intercontinental Title: Finn Bálor</strong></p><p>

Finn Bálor captured the IC Title back in September in a triple threat match against The Miz and champion Dean Ambrose. He has been defending his precious gold against the likes of Sheamus, Wade Barrett, and Jinder Mahal. He is now challenged by Austin Aries who refuses to take a backseat to anyone anymore and who has elevated from the now defunct Cruiserweight Division (which I hate). At Fastlane Aries and Bálor will have a ladder match with the title at stake. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>RAW Tag Team Champions: Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman</strong></p><p>

Braun Strowman has collided with Bray Wyatt again after he had successful rivalries with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Although he eventually drew the short stick in both rivalries he is now massively over and together with Wyatt and Sister Abigail (yes, Courtney Rush) they form a doomy faction on RAW. They best The Hardy Boyz for the titles in December and they are now set to feud with the revitalized Team Hell No.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>RAW Women's Champion: Alexa Bliss</strong></p><p>

Alexa Bliss was the champion when I started this save and has beaten every challenger until now. At Wrestlemania, she will defend the title against the former NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon. This will probably end up in the pre show. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Smackdown</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Champion: John Cena</strong></p><p>

John Cena defeated Jinder Mahal at the very first episode of Smackdown Live that I booked. He has been feuding with Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin and The Miz. Cena and AJ Styles are in a rivalry with The Bullet Club World Order. </p><p> </p><p>

The Bullet Club World Order is a faction that was formed after Kenny Omega shockingly appeared and debuted at SummerSlam 2017 by beating Sami Zayn. Until then Eric Bischoff had gathered a bunch of guys to feud with the Chosen Ones, a group of wrestlers handpicked by Kurt Angle to be the future of the WWE: Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn and American Alpha (and later Chris Jericho as their leader). </p><p> </p><p>

Bischoff's stable first existed of Kevin Owens and The Usos but when Kenny Omega joined, the BCWO was a fact. After Survivor Series, The Rock was shockingly named as their new member. They won every battle and finally the war against The Chosen Ones, who disbanded, and went after the WWE and US titleholders: John Cena and AJ Styles. The Rock faced Cena at the Rumble and was beaten but Kevin Owens won The Royal Rumble and will now face (and beat) Cena for the title at Wrestlemania.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE United States Champion: Kenny Omega</strong></p><p>

Kenny Omega has mainly targeted US Champ AJ Styles since the BCWO put the Chosen Ones out of business. At the Elimination Chamber he finally won the US Title in an EC match involving the champ AJ Styles, The Miz, Baron Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura and EC3. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Smackdown Tag Team Champions: The Usos </strong></p><p>

The Usos, who are over like main eventers now dus to their alliance with The Rock and Kevin Owens, have been feuding long with American Alpha, who were a part of The Chosen Ones faction. They have served as muscle power for Owens, Omega and The Rock but now a relatively new team has challenged them for the titles. Los Bellacos, which means the Vagabonds in English, is a team existing of Manny Andrade (Cien Almas) and No Way Jose. Andrade plays the bossy character who is clearly the supreme athlete and No Way Jose the happy go lucky follower who is going crazy when meeting big names as Cena and The Rock backstage. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Smackdown Women's Champion: Becky Lynch</strong></p><p>

Becky had a long rivalry with champion Charlotte Flair over the title and her on-screen boyfriend Johnny Gargano was in the middle of it. Charlotte had an eye on Johnny and she tried to seduce him many times. When Becky was injured (for real), Nikki Bella replaced her as title contender. Johnny interfered (accidentally) against Nikki so Charlotte won and from that day Becky thought he was now at Charlotte's side. Charlotte captured him and made Becky believe that she was with him now. All came out before the Rumble and it culminated into a match at the RR where Becky finally beat Charlotte. Becky will now defend her title at Wrestlemania in a Fatal Four Way match against Kharma, Asuka and Alyson Ford (Madison Eagles). </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

[DeadCeleb]

Back with another update. Its September of 2002, and some things have changed.

 

The Society has been broken. They were defeated by Sting, RVD, Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles in a 4 on 4 elimination match.

 

Sting took umbrage with CM Punk and laid out a challenge for him to put his money where his mouth was and put the ROH Championship on the line. Punk accepted and was in over his head. One Scorpion Deathlock later and ROH had itself a new champion.

 

Immediately after Sting won, he was brutally attacked by RVD! RVD, if you remember wasn't able to challenge for the ROH Championship as long as Punk was champion, but that's now null and void and he wants the title he held for almost a year back.

 

LAX continues to dominate the tag team division. They have withstood losing the titles to Londrick, and gaining them back. They are looking untouchable, but with Kronik now finished with The Society, could they be the ones to finally put an end to LAXs dominance?

 

Ric Flair has made his presence felt in ROH by recruiting a new, younger set of Horsemen. He scouted talents on shows for weeks before settling on 4 talents to manage. Charlie Haas, the X Division champ, Chris Harris and James Storm the America's Most Wanted and the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe. Ric has dubbed them his Horsemen Of The Apocalypse.

 

Finn Balor was injured in a match with Joe, but is prepared to return, but he says he's not alone. Joining him are new developmental call ups Hade Vansen and Kenny Omega. What could these 3 have planned?

 

There was no bigger shock to the wrestling world than the signing Dana White made of Bill Goldberg. Having sat out his Turner contract, a lame bidding war between WWE and ROH saw Da Man join ROH full time. He made a few appearances squashing some of the kids and has mysteriously disappeared. What will happen when Goldberg returns?

 

In WWE news, they have split their company in two with a brand split. And with that, Vince needed some new bodies to flesh out an already over sized roster. Among the names hired in 2002 are Road Warrior Hawk, Marty Janetty, Glen Ruth, Hulk Hogan, Tommy Dreamer, Johnny Grunge, Leatherface, Fit Finlay, Rocco Rock, Greg Valentine, Davey Boy Smith and...Norman Smiley? Ok Vince, have fun with them. I dont even want to know what you had to give Hogan to get him to come back.

[Matt_Black]

Started a new AAA game. Things were going well, no one is in Time Decline. 2 injuries, but nothing serious. At the March event, Joanne Rodriguez recaptures the Femme Fatale title.

 

On the following Saturday, she announces her retirement and won't be talked out of it. AND she's got over 18 months left on her contract. Oh well.

[Rayelek]

<p>Started a new SWF game with the rules I was given in the other thread. First show, I ran a North American Title match between Joey Morgan & Joe Sexy, with the plan being Paul Huntingdon attacking both men and the match being thrown out. The road agent notes:</p><p> </p><p>

Open Match</p><p>

Huntingdon attacks Sexy</p><p>

Huntingdon attacks Morgan</p><p>

Outside Interference Finish</p><p>

Sports Entertainment Finish</p><p> </p><p>

Apparently I also had to specify a draw because now Joe Sexy is my North American champion. Oh well, I had nothing for him and now it's a triple threat feud.</p>

[Derek B]

<p>That's because you used 2 different finish notes, so the game automatically picked the first one which is "someone wins due to outside interference" with no notes on an actual winner or loser. The game can only work with the logic you give it and it filled in the blanks as best it could when you gave it conflicting and incomplete information to work with.</p><p> </p><p>

At least you have a storyline out of it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

So this is hilarious. In the same game that Vince McMahon died, Undertaker has had a big scandal getting caught with a gaggle of hookers and was subsequently fired from WWF/E... TWICE! I've decided to start calling him "The Underhooker".

[CotC] May 1995

 

The "Monday Night War" is yet to start, but Billionaire Ted's World Championship Wrestling is already dominating the World of Pro Wrestling led by superstars like Hulk Hogan, The Warrior, Ric Flair, Sting, Randy Savage and Vader.

 

 

 

Meanwhile Vince McMahon's "New Generation" is rebuilding and strengthened by free agents like Jake Roberts, Ricky Steamboat and Sycho Sid.

 

 

 

The Triple Threat

"Master Manipulator" Jake Roberts convinced the Big Daddy Cool that he had the recipe for beating World champion Bret Hart. The Hart vs. Diesel blowoff match became a Triple Threat, which Jake won by outsmarting both Bret and Diesel. "The Snake" is Vince McMahon's current MVP and was given "Creative Control" in his big contract (the AI).

 

 

 

The Triple Threat II

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett defeated Razor Ramon on Monday Night Raw due to outside interference from The Roadie. In the background we have the third man = The Heartbreak Kid looking to use another Intercontinental title run as a stepping stone to a shot at the World title. The interference from The Roadie will set up a 2 vs. 1 Handicap match at In Your House between Jarret/Roadie vs. Razor.

 

 

 

The Dragon vs. Waylon Mercy

Waylon Mercy is a soft-spoken, southern gentleman until the bell ring. And then, he goes completely crazy. He has an scary, bug-eyed look whenever he locks in his Sleeper Hold, and it will take one or more referee begging him to release the hold. He is targeting the returning fan favorite; Ricky "The Dragon"Steamboat by attacking him due to influence from a sinister "Master Manipulator". Steamboat is another major AI signing and feuded with Steve Austin in WCW. Now in WWF, Steamboat could have possible dream matches with Bret Hart, Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels.

 

 

 

Ahmed Johnson vs. Kama

The ripped powerhouse Ahmed Johnson eyed the WWF European title. In his way was the menacing King Kong Bundy. After winning the title at WrestleMania, King Kong Bundy was kicked out of the Million Dollar Corporation and attacked by DiBiase's wrestlers. Ted DiBiase now sends shoot fighter Kama "The Supreme Fighting Machine" to take care of Ahmed Johnson. Vince is desperate to make new stars and push both powerhouses to the moon.

 

 

 

Death and Taxes

Vile tax collector, Irwin R. Schyster implored that everyone needed to pay their taxes. Even if they are dead! Upon learning that being six feet under is, in fact, not a tax shelter, we got the feud no one on earth possibly could have wanted: IRS vs. The Undertaker?

 

After losing a Steel Cage match against The Undertaker at In Your House in February and not being seen ever since; I.R.S. suddenly appeared post-match the Urn On A Pole Match at WrestleMania between The Undertaker and The Barbarian. I.R.S. turned face and helped The Undertaker from a beatdown by The Barbarian, Kama "The Supreme Fighting Machine" and Ted DiBiase's new problem solver "Sycho Sid".

 

Everyone needs to pay their taxes and now it's time to collecting the revenue of the tax cheater Ted DiBiase and his Million Dollar Corporation. I.R.S. intends to legally seize Ted DiBiase's property to satisfy the tax debt.

 

Death and Taxes defeated The New Blackjacks for the tag team titles at Monday Night Raw, and are feuding with Sycho Sid, The Barbarian and Ted DiBiase building towards a huge moneymaker between The Undertaker and Sycho Sid.

 

 

 

The New Foundation vs. Camp Cornette

A feud started by the AI. The 1994 KOTR winner Owen Hart is feuding with the British Bulldog. On Owen's side we have the powerhouse Jim Neidhart; and the ninja wrestler Kwang. On Bulldog's side we have the inked martial arts badass "The White Angel" Hakushi; The Sultan; and Shinobi, a "ninja assassin" hired by Jim Cornette to dispose of The Harts.

 

 

 

Brooklyn Brawler vs. Bruiser Bedlam

The Brooklyn Brawler and Bruiser Bedlam are engaged in a lengthy feud to determine who is the true bully of the WWF. The Brooklyn Brawler dominated Bruiser Bedlam until the latter's manager Harvey Wippleman grabbed the Brawler's leg, leading to a controversial win for Bruiser Bedlam.

 

 

 

Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna

The All-American hero Lex Luger was attacked by his old nemesis, Yokozuna. Both powerhouses intends to win the upcoming King Of The Ring tournament and to settle the feud once and for all.

 

 

 

The Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. The Headbangers

The Headbangers is the epitome of aggressiveness. Energy junkies on stage, poser despisers and a true devotees of thrash metal. While "The Rock 'n' Roll Express" is a couple of high flying wrestlers who loves glam metal music.

 

"Death to all Poser!"

 

 

 

The Smoking Gunns vs. The New Blackjacks

The New Blackjacks are two big men that brought their rough-house Texas tactics to the WWF, making tag team gold.

 

Two Cowboys riding in from Texas stealing the gold from The Smoking Gunns kickstarted a intense and bitter rivalry.

 

 

 

The Can-Am Express vs The Bodydonnas

The Blue Chippers! The Bodydonnas (Flip and Zip) are fitness fanatics who often make fun of their opponents and the fans. They is managed by Sunny and is looking to establish themselves as the next major tag team in WWF.

 

But to make it to the top of the foodchain they have to overcome fellow newcomers The Can-Am Express. The Can-Am Express is a ultra talented tag team that have won multiple titles in Japan and Mexico.

 

While WCW tag team division is stacked with top teams like Fire and Ice; The Steiner Brothers; Harlem Heat; and The Miracle Violence Connection; Vince is desperately trying to strengthen the WWF tag team division by pushing and establishing The Can-Am Express and The Bodydonnas as credible contenders.

 

 

 

Various

Former WCW worker Johnny B. Badd will make his debut in May as "Marvelous" Marc Mero. 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty is still in rehab. Former WWF workers The Patriot and Dustin Rhodes is sitting out their "Non Compete" clausules and is yet to make their WWF debuts.

I’m playing as MAW and run as many as 5 to 10 shows a month depending on what I’m trying to accomplish. As of right now we’re being carried on the back of four men. The Architect, George Wolfe, Remmy Skye, and the greatest wrestler in Cverse history....... KIETH VEGAS!!! Lol I know what you’re thinking. Why in the hell has he pushed Vegas of all people? Welp, I like to give the discarded a chance and as of right now he is on his second run as MAW Champion. Anyone push someone horrendous like Vegas?</p>

I guess I should have stated I’m booking Crockett Cup 1987, so Jericho hasn’t debuted yet.

 

Unfortunately, I was going to suggest Carl Ouellette, but he doesn't debut until September. I suppose you could edit the database with the idea that Martel wanted to "give a kid from Montreal a chance."

Looking for suggestions for my last face team.

 

I always like bringing in the Rock N' Roll RPMs [Mike Davis & Tommy Lane] at some point. They're a solid undercard tag team with a good finisher.

 

Badd Comany, Paul Diamond & Pat Tanaka, make a lot of sense here. They have history in the AWA with Hennig.

 

You could also bring The Original Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey and Norvell Austin, as faces, and have them feud with Eaton & Lane.

 

Would recommend the Liverpool Lads [Doc Dean & Robbie Brookside] or The Golden Boys [Robbie Brookside & Steven Regal]. You could invoke the Freebird Rules and have different lineups depending on the matchup.

 

Leaning towards Rick Martel and someone but can’t think of a good partner for him.

 

Tom Zenk is an obvious choice here, as they have tag experience.

 

Rick has a "kayfabe" brother/former partner in Frenchy Martin, who wrestled under the name "Pierre Martel". I think he starts exclusive with the 'Fed though.

 

Phil LaFon makes a lot of sense too -- from Canada, makes a good tag specialist, solid youngster with upside.

[Jaysin]

Phil LaFon it is!

<span style="font-family:Georgia;">So the WWF gets some unexpected, but much needed star power in the bitter war with WCW. Barry Windham is part of The New Blackjacks with John Hawk, while The Patriot is sitting out his non compete clausule before making his WWF debut.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

They will also get some extra star power and overness in Kurrgan, who returned to developement after filming a major movie. He's now 83 all over the World and despite being limited in the ring could be making a difference spamming menace angles.</span></p>
