Worldwide Wrestling League (CVerse '77) - The League That Came Before


Recommended Posts

Angus McCloud vs. Kenny Maynard
Leo King vs. Sasha Pavlovic

Backbreaker Simpson vs. Mike O'Reilly
Mikel de Sota vs. William Riley

Full disclosure I'm not up to date here (so my predictions could be way off) but you know I'm a fan of PWL so it's good to a spiritual successor to it going. I can certainly relate to a diary growing in scope and becoming too time consuming. It was when I did things like adding theme songs (copied from PWL) and other stuff like that that RAW become too much. I do think what made PWL unique and a great read can still work in this shorter format so hopefully it's working for you and I'll jump in!

Cardiff Cup 1977 Round 6 Predictions

Mike O'Reilly def. Angus McCloud
McCloud is in terrible form recently, while it's pretty likely O'Reilly is going undefeated

Leo King def. Mikel de Sota
Not going to be a good season for de Sota and King deserves some good wins

Kenny Maynard def. Sasha Pavlovic
Kenny's stepped up recently, Pavlovic is still the weakest member of the roster even if he's getting his ratings a bit higher

William Riley def. Backbreaker Simpson
I fully expect Riley to top the league with no losses and Simpson's been rather middling in terms of ratings so far

Angus McCloud vs. Mike O'Reilly

O’Reilly is the top heel McCloud is the second tier baby. O’Reilly wins to get to finals with Riley.


Leo King vs. Mikel de Sota

De Sota and King are similar level. Thought King did steer ahead last season. De Sota will get a win here to make it interesting going into relegation.


Kenny Maynard vs. Sasha Pavlovic


Backbreaker Simpson vs. William Riley

Cardiff Cup 1977 R7 Predictions

Angus McCloud def. Mikel de Sota
It's a tough pick this one, as de Sota's always been fairly average, while McCloud is just not on a good run for a while now. I'm going for de Sota though as I'm not convinced you'd sink McCloud that low.

Backbreaker Simpson def. Sasha Pavlovic
Simpson is one of the few guys I could see Pavlovic getting a win over this season, but I don't think it'll happen

Mike O'Reilly def. Kenny Maynard
O'Reilly is going undefeated

William Riley def. Leo King
Riley is going undefeated

Angus McCloud vs. Mikel de Sota

Im a bigger fan of McCloud but can see his back injury stopping him from beating De Sota. Especially not winning the title.


Backbreaker Simpson vs. Sasha Pavlovic

Sasha is likely being kicked out of the league after this season. He’s really the only one who should. We’ve seen who he is the last two seasons. It’s time for him to get kicked out.

Cardiff Cup 1977 Final Predictions

Mikel de Sota def. Sasha Pavlovic (relegation playoff)
Despite so clear improvements, I don't think Sasha is at the level of the other competitors anymore

Backbreaker Simpson def. Jack Classic
Jack Classic wasn't really any good

Angus McCloud vs. Chris Alpha (Endurance Crown)
While there is certainly a chance Alpha wins, it seems to me like a McCloud win is more likely

Mike O'Reilly def. William Riley (Cardiff Trophy League Title)
He's being built up as the biggest heel, so he should probably get the win, even if Riley has given better performances

 

Pre-Season Prediction Review

1st: William Riley (2nd) - Not a bad pick and only off by 1

2nd: Kenny Maynard (5th) - He's definitely moved up to the level this could happen, but not this time

3rd: Leo King (6th) - Bit of a disappointing on from him, but probably should've seen it. Everyone but Riley dips after a top 2 season

4th: Backbreaker Simpson (4th) - Can't read too much into it, but at least I got a perfect pick

5th: Angus McCloud (3rd) - It almost happened, but a good recovery in later matches saved him

6th: Sasha Pavlovic (7th) - Honestly should've seen this coming

7th: Mikel de Sota (8th) - Close enough

8th: Mike O'Reilly (1st) - Worst pick possible. Newbies are tough but wow, this was bad

Total: 18 (Worst prediction so far, pretty terrible)

Backbreaker Simpson def Jack Classic

Angus McCloud def. Chris Alpha (Endurance Crown)
Mike O'Reilly def. William Riley (Cardiff Trophy League Title)

O'Reilly is my favourite so far. We can only assume that, unlike DinoKea, I would have predicted his top position if I was predicting from start...

Mikel de Sota vs. Sasha Pavlovic (relegation playoff)

De Sota has had so much success in WWL. He is far more valuable than Pavlovic. I see Pavlovic possibly returning in the future. But right now he is out.


Backbreaker Simpson vs. Jack Classic

A classic example of a job match.


Angus McCloud vs. Chris Alpha (Endurance Crown)

I hate the name Chris Alpha.


Mike O'Reilly vs. William Riley (Cardiff Trophy League Title)

O’Reilly getting the win will establish him as an equal to Willie.

Sasha winning on his way out would be a surprise but I feel the need to not always fully copy DinoKea!

Bristol(?) Cup 1978 - Predictions

1. Mike O'Reilly - He definitely feels like he'd getting a push despite fairly middling performances so far

2. William Riley - Never predict outside the top two, not with how much better than everyone he's been

3. Angus McCloud - Seems to be coming back into amazing form

4. Kenny Maynard - Starting to look quite good

5. Leo King - Took a tough loss so drops, but still good

6. Chris Alpha - So far he's not looked deserving of this spot, but you let him beat McCloud so I'll give him a chance

7. Mikel de Sota - de Sota is in a weird spot where he's a cut behind the other 5 but also not relegation bad

8. Backbreaker Simpson - Just not been performing at a competitive level so far. Looks weak in comparison to the others

Crazy that it’s 1978 feels like 77 flew by…
 

Angus McCloud vs. Mikel de Sota

This all depends on McClouds injury. If he’s back to full health de Sota loses if he isn’t it’s a coin flip.


Backbreaker Simpson vs. Chris Alpha

I will never predict Alpha to win cause I hate his name :).


Leo King vs. Mike O'Reilly

Two of the top guys in WWL. O’Reilly ended last year strong and I think he’ll start this year with a bang.


Kenny Maynard vs. William Riley

Maynard got a lot of time to shine last year. This year what better way to start than dethroning the king.

Backbreaker Simpson vs. William Riley

Simpson I can see getting relegated this season.


Mike O'Reilly vs. Mikel de Sota

De Sota got the better of McCloud so I don’t see why he can’t do the same with O’Reilly


Angus McCloud vs. Chris Alpha

McCloud will destroy him!!! 😈


Kenny Maynard vs. Leo King

This can go either way. Both are excellent in the ring. I’m gonna say Maynard cause he’s been a favorite of yours.
