HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
PAIN: Nick Hill of Georgia is retiring from the ABL. With a record of 1,034 wins, only 172 losses, 104 draws, and $1,555,500 in earnings, he proved he was one of the best the game had ever seen. He will receive an engraved plaque to commemorate this occasion.
Also entering our Hall of Fame this cycle is JL6: Warden Bockie (RBL). His final stats were 1,004-393-45, with 17 stars and winnings totaling $2,479,100. He was named after Ralph "Bockie" Carroll, who passed away unexpectedly. He also wrestled parts of his career under the name "Parolee," and won 75 different titles throughout his time in the ring. Warden's manager, John Lala of California, wins a plaque for providing such excellent leadership.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
OUTLAWS: Blade (NBL) used his perfect 501-point strategy to secure the Steel Federation title, then defeated our other federation champions to claim this $300,000 belt! His manager, Jennifer McCarthy of New Mexico, can now choose either 100 free matches or a real wrestling belt and 50 free matches as her prize.
U.S. CHAMPION
LaReina Bratton of Nebraska shouted instructions to UOV: The Destroyer Derek Dragonov (RSL) from ringside, and her advice won him the $60,000 U.S. purse! She gets her choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches for helping him defeat 4REICH: Death Before Dishonor (ASL), MAD MONEY: Rob Calvin (FSL), ACE: The Textbook Technician (MPL), Kaptain Kryptonite (NBL), FFOW: Kendo Nagakami (MRL), and PAIN: Troy Van Dam (APL). Each had a strategy worth 501 points!
KING OF THE RING
Adding up the values of hold positions 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 13, and 15 in the strategy of each battle royal winner led us to Dimitrios the Traveler (ABL), whose 275-point total proved unbeatable! His manager, Dimitrios Zervas of New York, gets an engraved plaque or 25 free matches for the win. The league battle royals used hold positions 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, and 14.
AMERICAN CHAMPION
ACE: Diddy Did It Dummy Damage (SAL) was entered in the running for this title due to an in-league error. Since he came out on top, manager Bob Dippy of Pennsylvania wins the 10 free matches! Had it not been for this, the belt would have gone to RWS: "Psychopathic" Skylar Gale (CLL) of Illinois after he edged out PSY: The Dread Knight (ABL). All three wrestlers had 500 points.
ASIATIC CHAMPION
Jennifer McCarthy of New Mexico's ringside coaching helped OUTLAWS: Blade (NBL) cut through the competition for this $25,000 title, so she wins 10 free matches! Blade had a 501-point total.
HARDCORE CHAMPION
These 10 free matches were awarded to Anthony Rodriguez of Alabama for managing ACE: Da Masked Outlaw (TDL) to a 499-pointer, which allowed him to overpower our other Hardcore league champions. Great job!
METROPOLITAN CHAMPION
OUTLAWS: Blade (NBL) added this title to his resume by edging out both FFOW: Coco Hare (MRL) and UOV: Jack "Hammer" Taylor (RSL), all of whom had 501 points! Since this was the third time this year that the champion came from the NBL, manager Jennifer McCarthy of New Mexico won twenty free matches instead of ten.
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION
SE: Ludicrous (FLL) made his opponents ride the "Ludi Go Round" until this $25,000 belt was his! His manager, Patrick McGowan of Maryland, won 10 free matches for his involvement. Ludicrous had a strategy worth a total of 501 points, which is crazy-good!
FEDERATION PLAY-OFFS
The $40,000 Iron Federation championship was won by UOV: Jack "Hammer" Taylor (RSL)! He was managed to a perfect score of 501 points by LaReina Bratton from Nebraska. Before he could move on to take the World Heavyweight honors, Blade had to secure the Steel Federation belt. Luckily, his 501-point strategy turned out to have better flow than those of FFOW: Coco Hare (MRL), SE: Ludicrous (FLL), and AXIS: Samsun Fujiwara (ZPL). In the Gold Federation, the 25 free matches were awarded to Robert Calvanese of New Jersey, who coached MAD MONEY: Sugar Daddy Pimp (FSL) to point flow victory over OSC: Matman II (MWL) and NME: Grey Wolf (MPL). Each had 501 points! Beretta Mason, PI (ECL) took the Diamond Federation title by edging out PAIN: Outlaw Tony Taylor (NFL), WWW: Fireball (NAL), CTI: The Extreme Icon (BHL), PSY: The Dread Knight (ABL), Agent of Freedom (NSL), and PSY: Abomination of Desolation (RCL). Managed to a 500 total by Sully Sullivan of Canada, Beretta said he would like to dedicate this title to PSY -- then added it was because he wants them to get used to being walked all over! The Bronze Federation strap went to NME: Dominant Factor Anarchy (OTL). Tim Zaegel of Virginia guided him to victory over 4REICH: "The Original Gangsta" Cao Cao (MSL), ACE: Diddy Did It Dummy Damage of the SAL (who was entered in the running for the title due to an in-league mistake), and NME: Male Supermodel Paumba (CFL). Each had a 500-point strategy. Jason Battaglia of New York took home the Jade Federation prize, compliments of PAIN: Dynamite Kid (SHL) and his 500-pointer.
NATIONAL CHAMPION, IWA-WIDE REGIONALS
Nick Bratton (RSL) of Nebraska defeated TG: Flyin' Brian Gillman (MRL) by point flow to win the Western regional title, then overcame the other regional champions to gain his choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches!

Anthony Dudick of New York didn't let the defeat get him down, but instead aided 4REICH: "Sweet-As-Sugar" Stephanie Diamond (FFL) on her quest to bring home the Queen of the Ring crown, and coached 4REICH: "The Angel of Death" Daniella and "The Black Widow" Brianna Trueblood (VVL) to the Ladies' U.S. tag straps. He also found time to help 4REICH: "The Engineer Hunter" Eihi Shiina, "The Machine Girl" Minase Yashiro, and Michelle "The Invisible Woman" Yeoh (MDL) trade in their U.S. belts for the World Six-woman championships, then managed 4REICH: "Toothless Redneck" Raylene, "Trailer Park" Tracy, and "Tobacco Chewin" Tammie Jewels (LLL) to the newly-vacated U.S. Six-woman titles!

Daniel Stunes of Arkansas formulated her strategy, which totaled 500 points.
