VIRUS/FOE: Lion Saputra (LBL)
Ali Saputra of Georgia; 501; $250,000 + 75 free matches or a real wrestling belt & 25 free matches
"I was first introduced to the IWA in 1996 by my friend, Greg Brigham. I was a little skeptical about how wrestling could translate into a play-by-mail game. After showing me his World Championship belt and the bulletins, I had to give it a go. The old cash leagues really drew me in. It was frustrating in the beginning, not knowing how to win and feeling rather confused overall, but I quickly figured it out.
"Along the way, I've battled with the Warriors of the Wild West, made some NMEs, and most recently got infected by VIRUS. I've met some really cool people in the IWA over the years, but none has been more vital to my growth and success than Chris Miler and Hamilton Ortiz. After taking a 16-year break, I thought I was done with the IWA forever, but Chris and Hammy talked me into making a comeback in 2018. I would also like to thank Kimberly for making my return to the game go as smoothly as it could be.
"So, here I am, and in less than one year I have captured the coveted World Championship. My journey is now complete! On to the next chapter! The future looks bright for the Foundation in 2019. 'Keep your friends close, and your FOEs closer!'"
