It may be something I try to work on in the future, but right now, it all needs to be contained like that in order for the match engine to parse it properly. You're free to do some simple cut and paste before posting to make things look more to your taste, hell you can even edit the direct results file in notepad and the results reader will read it in that way, but for the foreseeable future this will be the unedited format. Sorry.

Just so you know, the circuit itself is highly entertaining. Good work on that. Keep this up and you'll have a circuit similar to Oliver's WWF that he used to highlight certain areas of TNM he was working on.

Keep this up and you'll have a circuit similar to Oliver's WWF that he used to highlight certain areas of TNM he was working on. That was sort of my "model" for this. Just to sort of show off where the development of the sim is at, but also to have a solid and entertaining circuit.

END OF MONTH 6 Marty Jannetty wrestled his match at Heat Wave intoxicated. While we're glad no one was hurt, this sort of thing can not be tolerated. He has been released from his AWE contract, and the Tag Team Titles have been effectively vacated.
