Really looking forward to rage in the cage. I enjoyed the Verne Gagne and Stanley Blackburn segments. Verne pretending to care about anything but the ratings was great. Blackburn seems a little thin skinned as he suspends Hall and the Hennigs. It will be interesting to see if he lives to regret that decision. Buddy Landel continues to be the one of your best pieces of work every week. You just have a knack for making him hilarious! Rich and Sawyer on regular TV! Love it. I do feel Wildfire got a little stale in real life in Georgia as he seemed to get hemmed into the babyface role. I liked him better in Memphis as you never knew what was coming. It doesn't matter if its the Fiesta Garden or Piper's Pit... they are always fun to read. Fuji better be careful. Hulkster needs to jump over some people here in the AWA to get to where he wants to be and Jumbo might be a leap.

Going back to the TV show, the interview with the Crazy Gang was great. I know you have said on a few occasions that it is not your strong point but every tome you do one, it steals the show. You have so many big stars and while I would love to see Terry Gordy face Texas Red or Bam Bam anytime, I am now really excited to see if Orton can deliver on his promise!

Awesome main event. Sam Houston continues his rise to the top here in defeat. No shame at all in going down to Race in 14 minutes with an injured leg. I am really liking your use of Kevin Sullivan. He is the perfect leader of a heel faction in any promotion during the territory days! That was one evil team... Dory, Baron and The Sheik. They could really cause some chaos in a lights out, unsanctioned match against some top heels. Paul Boesch might be in for a big payday. Baby Bull is going to have to lose that nickname if he keep crushing people! No more Baby! I think you got Houston wrestling down pat! Thanks for another fun show.

NWA sends Tom Prichard to the MidAtlantic for Joel Deaton

Clearly the Show of the Year so far in my mind! The lead is was AWESOME! Backlund again knocked it out of the park with that interview. When you teach an online creative writing class, sign me up. I can just see it all as it is happening. As always, you have the WWF commentators down and Gorilla was a real highlight for me. Am very interested to see what you plan for Andre. He could have held any title he wanted all around the world but only held 6 in his entire career. He was more like a circus character but the canvass is blank here. Great title match! You kept Superstar hot, increased Backlund's heelness and introduced possible the Match of the Year with Bruno coming after the champ! Amazing booking! Simply the best write up of a Battle Royal I have seen in any game I have been a part of! Hate to do this to you buddy, but you have raised the bar so high, I can only imagine what Wrestlemania will be like!

Muldoon better be careful or bring backup! Bruno calling Fuller a used car salesman was great. Crazy Bob Backlund again steals the show! From the attack on Magnum Jerry Allen to his interview about the Superstar. AWESOME! SNME is going to be great! Really interested in the Battle Royal. As a kid, I would skip over the WWF but now it is Must See TV!

Great show as always. Crippler" Rip Oliver and "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. "Mean" Mike Miller and "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich w/"Cool" Carl Fergie: This is such a perfect example of your ability to see things in characters that I miss. When I think of Oliver, I always think of a Crippler as the heel and Johnny Rich as the babyface. You see outside the box and always hit it out of the park. Fuller vs Bass... Love it! These two have not gotten a lot of attention of late and they really are tow huge names in 80's Wrestling! I must give credit to Blehschmidt for creating The Movement and you continuing it. They are one of the best creations this game has scene! The basically rules most of the AWA promotions last year and became a National force and now it continues in the USWA. Martel helping Lightfoot is even better than facing him. Good booking here. Karachi Vice vs Harts seems like a Stampede Special. I think this is a big one for your pecking order. Whoever comes out on top jumps up the ladder while the loser might not recover. As long as this game continues, I could watch Adonis and Lawler. I had Adonis once and had trouble writing for him. You obviously don't have that issue! Bock vs Kerry is going to be historic! It is like a fork in the road for the USWA. You can't go wrong with either direction you go but it will shape the USWA for the rest of 1985. The main event would have a TV crowd going wild and you did a nice job of keeping Tully and the Bullet hot. More great booking here! Awesome show as we get closer to the Parade of Champions

NWA adds Mr. Pogo and drops Kim Duk

NWA trade block is empty.

Great set of house shows. Nice job splitting the roster. Glad you are keeping Hansen hot after he lost the title. It looks like Tommy Rich is still proving his value as he can sell tickets even in defeat.

Enjoy all the work you do in planning things out and developing characters and angles. I can't stop rushing things. Tag Division has some big and powerful team that lead to some fun matches. Really like Nord and Crusher and Manny and Rude. I like the Falls Count Everywhere Match. Again gives some extra meaning to one of your earlier bouts.

Really enjoyed all the great details in this show! Giving the ring special colors will make NWA Houston stand out to all of the viewers around the country. I give you a lot of credit. You have Kevin Sullivan down pretty good. He is one of my favorites of all time and I have had him on my roster in a few games and I can never do him justice. Awesome job! Thanks for your help getting Baby Bull over. Another thing I struggle at is developing newer guys and you seem to be knocking it out of the park. Such high quality matches from top to bottom. Viewers would be locked in each week!

And there you have... the World Title on a Russian in 1985 automatically makes him the most hated man in wrestling! Will be interesting to see what is next for Hansen. Piper's Pit was great. Like that Link might be Savage's first feud. This is a nice use of Link and I wonder what will happen with Elizabeth. Link seemed very interested by so did Piper. Flair vs Landell. They both might want to slow play this because whoever comes out on top might have to suffer at the hands of Nikita. The Russians vs Hall and Hennig could sell out arenas for months. Your roster is in such a good place that you do not even need title matches to sell out in like 4 arenas a night. Thanks for all the hard work that went into this show! Awesome

NWA adds Steve Simpson and releases Jody Hamilton

Madison Square Garden never disappoints! Pedro seems to be back where he belongs. Volkoff/Slaughter... Perfect ending until you are ready to blow this feud off. This could go on forever and sell tickets each night! Supertstar with a Big win! Keeps him hot for Backlund. Studd seems to be struggling to fit in with Hart and Sunshine. Nice job with the continued build of the super intense crazed Backlund. I thought Andre was going to pin Muldoon to keep all the major players hot but your finish was even better! Good job.

Nice card at Freedom Hall as you keep us on our way to Parade of Champions but don't give too much away. Wonder what happened to Buzz Tyler? Nicely balanced card with a little something for everyone including the Martel vs Colon classic babyface bout. And that main event-WOW- 3 major angles hyped at once ad the crowd goes home happy. Well booked!

Nice show here. Enjoyed Sonny King losing his cool in the interview to begin the show and he just couldn't seem to find his happy place all night as he brings in the chair to crack the Grapplers! Awesome TV Slinker is becoming such a huge heel! He would get some big heat siding with the Japanese. Coach Arnold may have his work cut out for him if he thinks he is going to get that team to the top of a crowded division. Just maybe his style will work or maybe some chaos might be coming? Looking forward to seeing it! Angry Ron Bass as a singles wrestler is my favorite Ron Bass! Enjoying his character her! All Roads Lead To Parade Of Champions! Can't wait

Excited for the Battle Royal to see who will be the Intercontinental Champion I enjoy your commercials each week. They really bring me back. Fantastics/Bulldogs are great matches. All 4 could really bump and sell well. Showing Tunney in his office just makes it feel so important. Great touch! Dr. D was just so intimidating with his promos and you captured that. I know I have said it before, but your use of the commentators is spot on. Liked Vince letting the fans know that it Dr. D's views were not shared by the WWF

The NWA releases the Cuban Assassin, Fidel Sierra and Spike Huber

NWA is putting young Chris Benoit on the block along with Fidel Sierra and Tony Atlas.

Awesome show. I just laughed when Paul Boesch said if Kevin Sullivan can't be trusted! This would have been awesome TV seeing two title changes in one show. Funk vs VonErich is Texas just seems right! Looking forward to Leon vs Tojo. Leon might be a bull but Tojo has been around so long and knows every trick in the book. A lot of choices here for you.

My God, every segment had me on the edge of my seat. Fugi was awesome! Loved how he that Jumbo got screwed at it was because he didn't go! The Axe interview was all business. Maybe he is right. #1 Paul Jones might have paid off Blackburn Nice to see Wildfire with some help and he got himself a good partner in Mr. Olympia Couldn't think of a better way to bring in Hogan and Savage. Hogan with Albano is perfect! Savage in Piper's Pit.... Anything cold happen here. MUST SEE TV! The Landel interview was great. Every time he thought he knew what Resnick was going to say but he had no idea. Hansen vs Nikita..... You have so many options here and with your creativity I am sure you will have one that I have not thought of. Can't wait for these two monsters to square off. GOLD RUSH 85!! Can't wait

Awesome job setting up the match with Gordy and Red. The previously injured knee gave Red a way to still look strong in def

Nice 8 match card here at the Hammond Center. Carlos with the big title win for the title! Interested to see what is next for both of these guys. I admit, I never saw too much of these guys in real life but from what I did see, they were really good. Colon could do it all! Ayala was a very good heel powerhouse. Glad you have built them up in this game. Liking the Memphis Mafia Man. Wonder how big Rich could have become with a bit of a heel push! Worked for Like Arcidi getting some attention. He seemed to be on the fast track in the WWF and then just fell off the map. Tyler is a great wrestler to get Ted over! The Main Event was perfectly booked! The fans go happy and all of the feuds continue!

Parade of Champions is going to be awesome! Really looking forward to Bock vs Kerry and the Street Fight Tully and Armstrong is a perfect Southern feud. Keep it going! Tag Team Division is Must Watch TV as we have so many good teams trying to rise up! I am leaning towards Karachi Vice and the Movement to give the Grapplers some real challenges when all is said and done but you have so many choices! Like Rip Oliver as a babyface. Never saw too much of him but most of what I did was as a heel. Enjoying the feud with Mean Mike The Cooley angle of being so close each week is interesting. It gives you a lot of choices. He could fall flat on his face, get over big time, get frustrated... who knows but that is what makes it great. Bock draws blood but he is going to have to Kill Kerry to beat him in Texas Stadium! Can't wait for the next show
