JOHNNY B SAYS

Anthony Dudick of New York is retiring a record-setting 37 of his wrestlers this cycle, all from the DC stable! The Lord of Brutality, plus Psychotic Dogs #1, #2, and #3 hailed from the QPL. The TBL (which is now closed) was home to Russian Bear Boris, Russian Nightmare Nikita, and Russian Assassin Ivan Vasilev; plus Crosscheck Chris, Slapshot Ryan, and Highstick Brett Simpson. Candiria and Destroyed by Anger are retiring from the IIL. The RHL is losing Swastika, while the SFL bids farewell to Cornelius Curlymaplewood, Gravelthroat, Chiparoonie, Phil E. Blunt, and Soul Brother Brown. Scotty the Body, Razor Duddick, Mr. Pain, and "Long Island's Hardest" Brettskeey ended their careers in the NSL. Skarhead, Madball, Bald-Headed Freak, Ravishing Rick Money, Playboy Scotty Rich, and the Bruiser Bowe Henderson enter our Hall of Fame from the NYL. Finally, the KCL hosted Der Fuhrer, Hitler's Disciple, Skinhead, the Aryan Adolf Fleischer, Nothingface, Sheer Terror, the Romper Stomper, Tripface, and Snapcase. If you combined the stats of these legendary grapplers, you would get one wrestler with a record of 43,899-6,745-2,552, $115,972,600 in imaginary earnings, and 847 stars! We congratulate Anthony on leading his army to such incredible success. He will receive 37 engraved plaques as a reminder of his ring warriors' many accomplishments.

There has been some recent confusion regarding how in-league titles are awarded when two or more wrestlers (or teams) defeat the reigning champion(s) by the same number of points. We hope we can clear things up for everyone:

For TV and regional titles, we compare the point flow of the wrestlers who beat the current champion to determine the new titleholder. If there is an unbreakable tie, the title is awarded to the winner of the match which happened to be entered into our computer first. This may not be the first match listed in the cards, because the match order is mixed up before printing to keep the same wrestler from appearing on the same card multiple times. (We generally enter all of a wrestler's matches in a row, one after another. Just imagine what the results would look like if we didn't mix them up before printing... all of the matches on the first few cards would involve the same wrestler! That wouldn't be like real wrestling at all.)

For tag-team and six-man titles, point flow is NOT used. The new champions are simply the winners of the match that was entered first.

WORLD CHAMPION

UKA's Belvedere the Butcher Savage (TPL) earned a real wrestling belt and 50 free matches or 100 free matches for manager Sly Smith of West Virginia. First he gained the Jade Federation title, then edged the Diamond champion to achieve World Champion status! He had a strategy worth a perfect 501 points.

David Mitchell of Canada led him to a point flow win over AOE: Isaac the Insane Irishman (CRL), MWC: "Sultan of Ice" Herb Brooks (LBL), DTP: Exotic Adrian Street Jr. (LOL), and NME/DHM: Loverboy Louie Lopez (NFL).
