ROSTER: END OF SEPTEMBER, 1983: SIX MONTH REVIEW

-This is a pretty in-depth review, to meet the purpose of checking on the progress of everyone after six months. The wrestlers are in order from top to bottom on the WCCW Totem Pole. The skill and popularity increases shown are since the start of the dynasty. From first look, it appears skills can always increase with age, but physical condition worsens with age and overuse, which effects performance.

-I realize this is over the top, but I want to take a little break from booking shows, so I'll take my time running through the the roster.

MAIN EVENTERS
