PRESENTING THE LWL
Are you the IWA's best manager? Then join the Jade Federation's Lone Wolf League and prove it, since each manager is allowed to have only one wrestler in the LWL! The playing field doesn't come any more level than this. The LWL offers a unique $10 per cycle gaming deal that includes 10 regional title shots, 10 matches against the lowest ranked wrestlers, 5 matches against anyone you want, and an entry into the battle royal. The league champion earns $10 credit towards the next cycle, and the TV champion earns 5 free matches, but if there are more than 30 active wrestlers, those prizes double! There are few limits here, but you must create a new wrestler, as transfers into the LWL are not allowed. If you join now, there is no fee to create a new wrestler! Commissioner Matt Riley will guide this character/angle-filled league forward through a combination of the IWA's best players and a series of events, contests, and tournaments that will make this one of the best leagues in IWA history. For more information and a preview, email Matt Riley (riley1d20 followed by the @ symbol and then gmail.com).
HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES -- engraved plaque
Rob Dysinger of Maine
LR: Rob "The Tiger" Dysinger (XPL) 1,692-250-70, $2,992,055 *15
Rob had this to say: "Since 1993, I have enjoyed many years of fond memories from friend and foe alike. I wish everyone the best in the future, and long live the IWA and professional wrestling."
Darren Lane of Arkansas
CB: Amy Johnson (LLL) 1,736-180-47, $2,106,700 *16
Amy has suffered brain damage from all the bumps she took in the ring. Like her stablemates, she was loved by the fans. She plans to return to her home in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where she will join her former stablemate, Kimberly Parker, in running her restaurant chain.
"Pure Evil" Craig Peton of New Jersey
UKA: "The Apocalypse" Craig McQuaide (GRL) 1,613-311-94, $4,441,100 *41
The former Hardcore champion and self-proclaimed "Bringer of Death and Creator of Havok" has suddenly disappeared. No one in his camp, The Unified Knights of America, knows of his whereabouts. All that could be found was a cryptic message bearing McQuaide's trademark quote of "Doomsday is here; the Apocalypse is upon you!" with the date December 2012.
