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.
