U.S. CHAMPION

ACE: "Rugged" Randy Sanders (WSL) used his 499-point strategy to overpower our other TV champions last cycle. That means he earned an engraved plaque or 25 free matches for manager Howie Sandberg of New York!

 

KING OF THE RING

Adding the values of hold positions 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, and 13 in each battle royal winner's strategy showed us that ACE: JMK (FJL), managed by Bob Dippy of Pennsylvania, was the rightful wearer of this crown! He had a 272-point total. Bob can now decide between an engraved plaque and 25 free matches. Hold positions 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 14, and 15 were used to determine the league battle royal outcomes.

 

AMERICAN CHAMPION

ACE: Playboy Pat Burrell (AAL) received $25,000 in imaginary money for winning this title. His manager, Michael Eaves of Mississippi, provided his 499 total, so Michael wins 10 free matches!

 

ASIATIC CHAMPION

Mark Duchaine of Vermont picked up this title (and another 10 free matches) with a little help from WWW: Sinister Steve Stryker (CSL). Nice going, Mark!

 

HARDCORE CHAMPION

FEDERATION PLAY-OFFS

The Iron Federation belt stayed in the hands of Ohioan Keith A. Maple. This time he used LPPF: Money Hungry Bandit James A. Brisco (MBL) to get the job done. James had a 499-pointer. So did ACE: "Diabolical" Devin Frontier (KKL), who used it to great effect in the Steel Federation. His manager is Howie Sandberg of New York. The Gold Federation champion was I AM THE GREAT: Brutal Derek Butcher (BBL). He earned an imaginary $40,000, while manager Edward Ledeger, Jr. of California won 25 free matches! Eventual World Champion Power Hungry Maniac began his journey by taking the Bronze strap. Michael Eaves of Mississippi collected his fifteenth Diamond Federation win after ACE: Celtic Tiger (LBL) edged WWW: The Amazon (NAL)! He also scored a victory in the Jade Federation, thanks to American Champion ACE: Playboy Pat Burrell (AAL), who had 499 points. That brings Michael's career federation title count to 39!
