Awesome job man! Love reading about the old superstars!

Re: week 4, July 1983 - Sunday

Woot, title!

Something had to be going on since I ended up breaking a lot of "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell's finishers. The new booker probably wanted a fresh face in the title picture. The popularity keeps increasing so it's only a matter of time before Mark is pushed to a middle midcarder from lower midcarder. It should take at least the next couple of months. He now has a grade "D" in popularity in both the mid-south and northwest regions thanks to the winning streak over more popular wrestlers.

Thanks. It's something new to OS members to look at than the usual bigger sports. It's something different like reading the F1 and NASCAR journals.

This is a great period in professional wrestling that I'm going through and in the upcoming years I should be seeing wrestlers like Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Hunter Hearst Helmsley enter pro wrestling along with Eddie Guerrero. Right now these guys are too young.

Re: The Deadman Cometh -- (rookie to "Phenom")

Man this is really entertaining! I almost want to do the same thing, but I think I would start a little earlier and like do a total overview of all the Federations and not follow just one superstar! You know me!
