Oh what the heck

I decided to sit down and do one more match...I said I would give the Undertaker one final shot at the Undisputed Heavyweight title but this would have to be contained within the confines of a steel cage. To make it all fair and square, Donnie B brought in the most honest ref on the planet - "Honest Abe". Abe stated that he would call this right down the middle - he cannot be swayed. Undertaker tried to get in Abe's face right off the bat but ended up backing down.

Both men are in the ring and the bell sounds. "The Original Big Daddy" Donnie B takes on the Undertaker for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Taker immediately starts off by throwing Donnie B into the cage. Donnie B bounces right off. Donnie B gets Undertaker up for a Superplex but Taker tosses DB into the cage again. Taker picks up Donnie B and throws him into the cage again and now DB is bleeding. Donnie B manages an eye rake and Taker, yep you guessed it, throws DB into the cage. The blood is flowing a bit more faster now. Donnie B fights back and hits Undertaker with another Superplex. Donnie B follows it up with a flying dropkick and Taker goes flying into Abe knocking him out. Donnie B finds a chair and nails Undertaker with hit. He too is now bleeding. DB follows it up with another chair shot but Taker starts to shrug it off and nails a clothesline. Taker then picks up DB and drops him onto the corner turnbuckle. Abe is getting up now. Taker tries for another clothesline but it is reversed and DB nails another flying dropkick. Undertaker up and nails the Last Ride. He makes the cover but Donnie B kicks out at 2. DB reverses a suplex attempt and nails the Lights out Brainbuster for a 1 count. Taker hits another Last Ride but is unable to make the cover. Donnie B hits Taker with a chair but then grinds DB's face into the cage blinding him. Undertaker hits the Last Ride again but only gets a 2 count. Taker goes for a throat lift but DB manages to reverse it, knock Taker down, climb to the top of the turnbuckle and deliver a flying double loaded elbow to the groin. He goes for a pin attempt but Taker kicks out at 2. Taker goes for the throat coke but Donnie B nails a neckbreaker. He makes the cover and is able to get the 1-2-3. Now it is a race to see if he can get out of the cage in one piece. Undertaker follows him up and both trade some blows. DB slams Taker's head into the top of the cage and UT falls back to the mat. Donnie B goes over the top of cage and drops to the floor. Donnie B retains the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Holy Cow. What a match.

Year end review 2011

As I sit here contemplating whether or not to do bring back the wrestling game, I still have not decided on exactly what I'd want to accomplish with this going forward. I'm sitting back drinking a Mike's found through Yahoo Groups a group of people who do their own federations and even some cross-promoting. I was able to find some new wrestlers but still haven't paid that much attention to the current product so I may be missing some. I think I will do a tournament and even have some old and familiar faces resurface. Only time will tell if I can follow through on this.

I got a call the other day from the former "Super Warrior" Wayne Tuttle. He was trying to get the CSWA and HWF back on its feet. I spoke about time, dedication and money (someone's got to pay these guys). He told me that after I closed up shop back in 2010, he invested his money wisely and would not be opposed to taking over the CSWA ship as its owner and GM. I told him I would give it some thought.

As fate would have it, "MW3" Jeff Meyers then dropped me a line and basically said the same thing. "You know, I think with all the money I've made over the years, I could do something to help you get this back on. What do you think?" I told him I had to think it over.

I did exactly that and then went back to both SW and MW3. "I tell you what, I would allow both of you to fund and manage both federations. I will retain the HWF and CSWA as my intellectual property but would not partake in managing the federations." Both men liked this idea so the plan has started to take shape.

I asked Jeff to take over as owner and GM for the HWF. He reminded me about his history with the CSWA and was hoping to take that over. I explained that he did pretty much all he could with it and it was time to take on a new challenge with the HWF. He said he would. After a quick conversation with Wayne, he agreed to GM the CSWA.

At this point, I do ask for both Jeff and Wayne to provide to me their thoughts and plans and how they see this working out. Both said they would get back to me.

In the meantime, I am considering a new tournament. Not sure exactly what will be the payout to the wrestlers would be but I am sure we will work something out. Maybe Donnie B will come out of retirement and put that Undisputed Heavyweight Championship on the line....Nah. But he may consider it if the person who wins is the man he took it from...The Undertaker.

More to come.
