CORRECTION

In issue #13 (published during the Fall cycle), an incorrectly-entered hold cost CAST: "The Big Mofo" Anthony Dudick and "Mr. Controversy" Keith A. Maple (CCL) their rightful place as the seventh tag-team in the standings. This means that teams #7 through #9 should have been moved down a spot, pushing the BOL team off the list. We apologize to both managers.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Just as Kobe and the Los Angeles Lakers did a few months back, CAST/WCGP: Diego "Because I Can" Duran (BOL) followed up in typical West Coast fashion and brought yet another World Championship back, back to Cali, Cali! A member of the infamous West Coast Gangsta Party, Duran defeated all other federation champions with his 501-point strategy and captured the IWA World Heavyweight Championship. His manager, "The Shot Caller" Tony Zamora of California, wins 100 free matches for his superior managerial skills and for leading Diego to the World title. Tony wasn't available for comment, but released this statement: "I was told not to go to war unless I got my money right... I got my money right and now I want war!!!"

U.S. CHAMPION

Michael Drake of New York earned the choice between an engraved plaque and 25 free matches by coaching Æ: "Prodigy" Mike D. (WEL) to point flow victory over stablemate Donnie Brasco (CLL) and nWo: The Undertaker (JDL)! Each of these TV champions had 500 points.

KING OF THE RING

We found the total of the values of the holds at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 15 in the strategy of every league battle royal winner, and CTI: Mean Mike Eaves (ZPL) of Mississippi emerged victorious with 275 points! He gets his choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches. The regular battle royals used hold positions 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, and 14.

AMERICAN CHAMPION

These 10 free matches went to Mike Dorsett of New York, who equipped EDGE: The Dark Knight (ABL) with a perfect 501-point strategy!

ASIATIC CHAMPION

ZOMBI: Ice Man (CFL) picked up a cool $25,000 in imaginary earnings after besting our other Asiatic league champions. His manager, ~TZ~ of Virginia, will receive 10 free matches for providing the winning 501-pointer!

HARDCORE CHAMPION

Adding another $25,000 to his winnings last cycle was CAST/WCGP: Diego "Because I Can" Duran (BOL), who had to edge out Æ: Da Renegade (TDL) to gain the Hardcore Championship. "The Shot Caller" Tony Zamora of California will pocket an additional 10 free matches, since he devised his grappler's 501-point strategy!

METROPOLITAN CHAMPION

Armed with a 500-pointer by Scott Lowe of Salem, Missouri, Æ/nWo: "The Monster" Abyss was able to bring this title to the WWL for the first time this year! Scott wins 10 free matches for his involvement.

CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION

David Bressler of Illinois won 10 free matches by guiding his athlete, SJ: The Big Chief (PAL), to this $25,000 title! Oddly enough, the lone wrestler standing in his way was REG: The Gunslinger (ESL), who lost by point flow.

FEDERATION PLAY-OFFS

EDGE: Galan Dracos (IML) took home the Iron Federation prize with his 499-pointer, and EDGE: The Dark Knight (ABL) captured the Diamond Federation title with a 501. Both wrestlers belong to Mike Dorsett of New York! The $40,000 Steel Federation purse was awarded to LNR: Justin Cross (FLL). Jeff Judd of Pennsylvania earned 25 free matches by leading him to point flow victory over EDGE: Master Mang (LSL), Æ: Chris Hero (RYL), CAST: "The Big Mofo" Anthony Dudick (CCL), UL: Sammy Solar (OSL), PAIN: Marty the Butcher (DIL), CTI: Bounty Hunter Grit Fargo (APL), Æ: Jailbird Smith (ZPL), REG: The Gunslinger (ESL), and CAST: Jimmy "The Body" Janos (MRL). Nice going, Jeff! The Gold Federation proved to be merely a stepping stone for eventual World Heavyweight Champion Diego Duran, who edged Æ: Da Renegade (TDL). Both had a 501 total, as did Bronze Federation winner ZOMBI: Ice Man (CFL), who is managed by ~TZ~ of Virginia! The Jade Federation's prize money had to be split evenly between Æ/nWo: "The Monster" Abyss (WWL), who belongs to Scott Lowe of Salem, Missouri, and Æ: The Messiah (SGL), who is managed by Michael Drake of New York, since they ended in an unbreakable tie. Also with 500 points but losing by point flow were EDGE: Xian Bloodbane (PRL), Wing Chung Master IP Man (BTL), nWo: "Big Daddy" Chris Speilman (JDL), and CAST: The Executioner (PKL).

NATIONAL CHAMPION, IWA-WIDE REGIONALS

Nicholas Hill of Georgia won his choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches when his wrestler, CTI/NAA: Matt Pittman (GRL), edged out CTI: Ultimate Combatant (MEL) for the Northern regional title, then used his perfect 501-pointer to claim the National honors! Conquering the other regions were...

LADIES' TITLES

Going home with both the $40,000 Ladies' World Championship and the Queen of the Ring crown was "Cowgirl" Mary Hall (LLL)! Ray Smith of Pennsylvania formulated her impressive 500-point strategy, so he wins the choice between an engraved plaque and 15 free matches. Great job! EDGE: Nikki Blair (LLL) defeated CAST: Brandy Dirt (FFL) by point flow and won the $20,000 Ladies' U.S. prize. Rob Bream of Pennsylvania was responsible for her 499 total, which was the same score that new Ladies' National Champion Æ: Junky Jaala (MDL) had! She edged out Dirty Danni, who quickly made other plans. Anthony Rodriguez of Alabama also picked up the Ladies' Tag-team straps! His duo of Æ: Crazy Caylee and Terrible Tangela (MDL) edged wWw: Jamaican Princess and Rasta Queen (LLL), plus CAST: Brandy Dirt and "Sweet-As-Sugar" Stephanie Diamond. Then Dirty Danni joined them and they scored a perfect 521 total, which allowed them to grab World Six-woman gold! Gaining the Ladies' U.S. tag belts were COVEN: Curvaceous Carrie Westcott and Dynamic Dian Parkenson (LLL). Michael D. Pepple of Massachusetts owns their contracts. S. Daniel Stunes of Arkansas decided to have NGAA: Rydia Stormer and Mara O'Connor work with ZOMBI: Dominant Factor Lust (MDL), who is managed by ~TZ~ of Virginia, and the trio walked away with the U.S. Six-woman titles!

WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS

EDGE: Mr. Perfect Marcus Steel and the Shogun Yoshi Toronaga (DDL) demonstrated the best teamwork out of all our league tag-team champions last cycle, and their reward was an engraved plaque or 15 free matches for their manager, Mike Dorsett of New York! The top five pairs listed had 516 points.

TOP 10 TAG-TEAMS

U.S. TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS

These $20,000 belts ended up around the waists of AXIS: Erik Sabotnik and Samsun Fujiwara (AFL)! Their manager, Edward Francis of Pennsylvania, guided them to victory over all our other TV tag-team champions last cycle.

WORLD SIX-MAN CHAMPIONS

Anthony Rodriguez of Alabama wasn't content having just one team take these titles, so he had his teams from both the TDL and FSL share them! Now he can choose if he wants to receive an engraved plaque or 15 free matches as his prize. The top six teams in the standings had 521 points.

TOP 10 SIX-MAN TEAMS

U.S. SIX-MAN CHAMPIONS

EDGE members the Lunatic Lucca Brazzi (owned by John Durrani of Connecticut), Linja (managed by Kevin Lin of New York), and Johnny Law (whose contract belongs to Jonathan Akers of Texas) teamed up to secure these titles for the American Legion League. They were successful, winning them with a perfect 521-point total!

TOP 10 LEAGUES

The most active leagues for the October cycle, going by the number of matches in each, appear below. The New Blood League continued to hog first place, holding it for the twelfth cycle in a row! Managers in the All Star League can choose to take two matches for $1 next cycle, since their active wrestlers had the highest average strategy total. Both the NSL and WWL were less than half a point behind!
