The Unknown Wrestler League gets underway next cycle! If you haven't sent us your wrestler's name, league, and $2 entrance fee, do so immediately so you don't miss out on the fun. Once the action starts, no more wrestlers will be allowed to enter the league.

This is the last cycle that the champion of the High Rollers League will receive a cash prize. Next cycle we are opening the Non-stop Action League in the Diamond Federation. The NAL will feature a cash prize for the league champion, and transfers into the league are free during the first cycle. To make things even more interesting, managers are limited to a maximum of 6 wrestlers in the league. If you're looking for new territory to conquer, here's your chance!

Ima Kilar's storied career has come to an end in the PTL. Throughout his career he could never escape the voices in his head that caused him so much pain. Finally, the voices took over and drove Ima Kilar insane. He will spend the rest of his days in the Valley Rich Home for the Insane in Detroit, Michigan. His IWA record was outstanding due to the circumstances that drove him to the ring day in and day out, adding up to 1,090-305-42, with 19 stars and $2,437,900 in earnings. His manager, Josh Kennard of Michigan, will receive a plaque.

John Lala of California will also be receiving an engraved plaque since his wrestler, JL6: Prisoner (GBL), is entering our Hall of Fame. His final stats are 1,045-283-54, with 11 stars and $2,678,400 in the bank. Congratulations on leading your wrestler to a well-deserved spot in our Hall, John!

After a very unproductive run in the ECL, Crypt has decided to hang up his wrestling boots. His career, however, was far from unproductive. His winnings include 2 World Tag title reigns, a U.S. Tag-team title, and 7 top 10 tag rankings. He finishes with a record of 1,172-244-62, with $4,091,200 in earnings and 28 strats of 495 or better. His manager, Dan Delaney of Ohio, gets a plaque.

With a record of 1,034-116-36, Demonic Jake Cross is retiring from the DZL. His manager, Oliver Storz of Germany, coached him to $1,933,000 in imaginary winnings, and provided him with 20 strategies that starred. We'll put your plaque on a plane very soon, Oliver!

Our final retiree this cycle is LB: Dragon Lady (LLL). She is a former 2-time Ladies' World and 2-time Ladies' U.S. champion who also held various team titles on numerous occasions. Frank Snow of North Carolina led this superstar to a record of 1,397-597-91, with $4,054,200 in earnings and 26 stars!

WORLD CHAMPION

Shawn Sterling of Virginia will soon be deciding if he wants 100 free matches or a real wrestling belt and 50 free matches.

KING OF THE RING

Totalling the values of hold positions 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, and 15 in each battle royal winner's strategy led us straight to Eddie Guerrero (WWL) and his 273 total! Gilberto Gonzalez of Arizona manages this Latin legend, so he wins the choice between an engraved plaque and 25 free matches!
