WORLD CHAMPION

U.S. CHAMPION

KING OF THE RING

Taking the strategy from each battle royal winner and totalling the values of hold positions 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 14 proved that COT: Reign (HSL) was destined to rule the squared circle!

TOP 10 LEAGUES

Based on the number of matches in each, the most active leagues for the June cycle are shown below. The Grim Reaper League kept the UWL in check to remain in first place, and the Mysterious Benefactor League enjoyed a very successful second cycle. Managers in the Non-stop Action League can take two matches for $1 next cycle, since their active wrestlers had the best average strategy total -- just like last time! The MRL was less than half a point away, and was followed closely by the LLL and the MBL.
