Nice injury angle with Stevens there.
Look forward to seeing Ivan Koloff get this revenge and crack those damn Graham brothers!
Still enjoying this circuit.

I wish I didn't have to do it, but Baron Von Raschke decided not to re-sign so I had to write him out somewhere. Plus it helps establish Stevens as a single again since Nick Bockwinkel went and quit on me, and if Raschke comes back, he's got a nice feud ready made. I'm still finding it out that Koloff is one of my top faces. I don't even remember how I got to that point, but it oddly is working.

but to say that he was the greatest ever was a huge slap in the face to the ones who came before them - Lou Thesz, Buddy Rogers, Bobo Brazil, Gorgeous George. Nice detail leaving Sammartino out of this list, after all the trouble he's put you through! I have a little catching up to do on GCW, but the final shows of 1974 looked awesome. Turning Luke heel and aligning him with his brother was really rejuvenating for him. There's was nothing left for him to do as a face - except retiring. Tag team gold for The Grahams in 1975!

I'm really looking forward to this plowing it's way into the cable and PPV period.
Snabbs, do you have a plan for handling television?

I don't think I'm going to do hours and hours of tv squash matches by any means. It's not compelling to sim, write, or read. I think I'll do my squashes with "recognized jobbers," kind of like WWF was in the mid-90s (Aldo Montoya, Freddie Joe Floyd, TL Hopper, etc.), and maybe jump into the Monday Night Wars style of doing tv a little earlier than happened in real life. I'm still about 5 years off from even considering starting TV, so I have some time to think on it.

Can't wait to see you do TV. I know it's a long time from now, but do you think you're going to try and do it in the old GLW/GCW format? Or try to shorten it up?

A version of the old GLW/GCW format, but definitely trying to keep it shorter. I had a habit of doing more detail than necessary. Let's see if I can fix that this next time around.
