interesting watching the top fed leaking into the mid south wonder if they'll ever gain any international footing.

 

thanks a lot im a stat nerd and inbetween decent computers so running a world from nothing and having the amount of data i would want would be just hella time consuming

 

Tell me about it! Looking at the trends as i move forwards is great, it does take ages and i mean ages... To sim through each year now.

 

What i find interesting about Mexico at this time is that they have 4 out of 28 live companies around the world yet have spot 2&3 locked down and another at 6th.

 

Their financial muscle at the top is impressive too.

 

So whilst it seems JCW are clear and out favourite to dominate... I think once TV deals pick up and companies get to national things may change.

 

By 1950 JCW are cult and a fair way off national. Many of the global chasing pack are regional going on cult so by 1980 i expect each nation to have at least one national fed which could lead to a global battle which i find an interesting alternative to a USA dominated scene at that level

 

Oh and MHW running a mildly successful company with no title belts! Yet 6th most popular world wide

Does El Espiritu still push himself to like a fault or does he put people over or is he so popular he is like Mil Miscaras like so the fact he can no longer wrestle doesnt matter?

Also wow @ Karl Hunt sneaking in that 1 defense JCW World Title reign. Guess that push didn't go the way it was supposed to.</p><p> </p><p>

Wonder if the radio deal is gonna get things moving in Japan.</p>

Also I can't believe I missed the decade long tag reign. I def mark for Ranger Bartlett now. Whatever happened to him?
