JOHNNY B SAYS
All future Kings of the Ring will receive $50,000 in addition to their 25 free matches! Thanks to everyone who provided us with such valuable feedback on the subject.
Now we'd like your input regarding a suggestion from manager Derek Tuttle. He's asked us to consider giving battle royal winners a shot at the league title. In your opinion, would throwing a wild card into the mix increase your league's excitement level, or should all wrestlers have to continue earning their way to the top via matches? Please write in and let us know your thoughts!
The battle royal winner in the Unknown Wrestler League already receives a title shot, which is one of the many features that make this league so unique. Joining the fun is a great way to boost your wrestler's wins, imaginary money, and stars, and the overall winner receives a real-life championship belt! (Our congratulations to the latest recipient, Jason Frymier.) The ninth round is about to get underway, and we lock the doors after the sign-up period, so don't miss out!
There are two important changes to the UWL this time. First, we're giving the league champion the option of "no one" when deciding on which wrestler to unmask. Will most champions go this route, in an effort to extend the current round and/or avoid reprisals from the ejected wrestler's friends? If fewer champions choose to eliminate a competitor, will it make those eliminations more meaningful? We're anxious to see how this plays out!
The second and final change is that all wrestlers competing in the UWL must be heels -- no faces allowed (ba dum tsh). Note to editor: do not include this paragraph unless you really, really need to pad the first column. Wait, you have to include it because I mentioned that there were two changes. Ugh. Hand me that mask.
HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES -- engraved plaque
Frank Snow of Tennessee
Railroad Warrior Tie (CWL) 1,159-1,988-50, $3,556,000 *27
Railroad Warrior Spike (CWL) 1,231-2,309-76, $3,865,900 *31
Once upon a time, the original Railroad Warriors were listed in the IWA Report as two of the worst wrestlers in the IWA. After being recruited by Frank "Leatherman" Snow and enrolled in the Leather Academy, they were trained by The Legendary Eddie Sweat. Today, they retire as highly respected members of the professional wrestling community. Never give up on your dreams.
