Trav's Early Classics Fed

[lwffantrav]

This is a re-post from the "Un"Official Board

Since this is the start of a new board, I'm going to start posting my Early Classics results

Having played since 1989, I was all the way up to 2106 in my fed (around a few years ago), but the sway of Legends was too strong and I pretty much shelved COTG to concentrate on Legends.

I began hearing the talk about Early Classics and this really peaked my interest back into the GWF. I mean, did I really want one of the biggest Legends of all time, Omega, to have a winning pct. of .350!!?? And what about being able to play Morpheus...something we didn't get to do in the original game

So I decided, when time permitted, to restart my fed and begin with Early Classics to fill in the gaps. The first year of playing, I was really feeling out the characters since, while Mike did a good job of writing, his space was limited. So while we knew certain backstories like Sam-Torpor or the Guardians-Dorado Sundown, really playing the cards gave me a feel for the newcomers

So the first year, it was basically guys who made their way from the POW to the newly formed GWF, feeling each other out and begin building towards rivalries toward the future.

When I get into Year 3, that's when it really started to get fun, along with Year 4, where I'm at now (I was never a Silvar fan, but he's really been fun, making him into a Santino, from the WWE, character).

So thanks to Mike and co for Early Classics...here are some of the results from Year 1 & 2:

EC 1: Early Sept

Omega & Morpheus came out to a mammoth ovation at the Deimos Intergalactic Arena as fans were salivating at the prospect of professional wrestling coming back after a nearly 20 year absence.

Omega explained to the crowd what their goal was in forming the GWF: To provide an outlet to get out your aggression with the hope that, in re-instating wrestling, this would be the perfect outlet. Omega explained, unlike the old days of pro wrestling, this isn’t about “good guys” and “bad guys”, only wrestlers representing their home planets.

Morpheus added that while what Omega said was true, he hopes it doesn’t deter from the wrestlers aggression in the ring as they want to give the fans their entire monies worth, especially since many have waiting this long for pro wrestling to return.

1) Defiance beat Cross Currents by DQ when the ref DQ the watery duo for not leaving the ring during the mandatory five count on the double team.
2) KO Keller pinned Ricken Prince following a stomp on chest
3) Commander Sam pinned Torpor after the STAR SPANGLED BANNER
4) Torin Caelum beat Santon with CAELUM’S GRIP
5) The Guardians beat Dorado Sundown by DQ

EC 4: Mid Oct
GWF Champ KO Keller came out to address the crowd on becoming the first GWF Champ. Torin Caelum came out to congratulate his friend, but made a challenge, which Keller gladly accepted as the two shook hands in the middle of the ring

1) Crosscurrents beat The Mensans when Thetis pinned Trotarus following WATERY GRAVE

2) Commander Sam pinned Torpor after the STAR SPANGLED BANNER
After the match, Torpor grabbed Sam’s US Flag and choked him out with it. After recovering, Sam vowed revenge against the dastardly star from Cygnus

4) Screw pinned Santon with a small package

5) GWF Tag Champs The Guardians beat Dorado Sundown when Morpheus pinned Blacklash with TRIP TO HADES

It's awesome to have your EC stuff here, Trav. It looks like we're the new EC Forum! I need to get Switchfoot into EC!

I figured there were several jump on points (Early Classics, 2087, 2119 & 2125), so I thought to start Early Classics in case Tom got tired of COTG, I'd have plenty of time to catch up

[holland227]

KO Keller as champ is solid. He has a great EC card. He hasn't been able to one up Caelum in my fed but he is having a huge run as a tag team with Sam, holding the GWF titles twice. Glad to see he is doing well here.

[wildfire]

Keller is my favorite EC guy... I just things he's the perfect symbol of the 'wild west' days of the early GWF.

Hilarious that both guys that talked trash on card 5 lost.

That was alot of cards with no title match... just the way it worked out, or intentional?

I'm home from the hospital, but all my stuff is downstairs. Once I get feeling well, I'll check. Those cards are from a couple years ago

EC 9: Early Jan 75

EC 10: Mid Jan 75

4) Crosscurrents battled Dorado Sundown to a double DQ

EC 11: early Feb 75

- Torin Caelum asked KO Keller for a title shot because, since the Guardians are out, they can, no doubt, give the fans their moneys worth. Keller agreed and accepted Caelum’s challenge, but reminded him while they may be friends outside of the ring, inside is business and a TEN COUNT could be right around the corner. Caelum answered CAELUM’S GRIP could be in store for Keller as well. The two shook hands and left the ring

It was announced Caelum suffered a broken jaw from the TEN COUNT. Torin Caelum injured 6



EC 12: Mid Feb 75
GWF Champ KO Keller came out to open the program and stated throughout the year, one man has yet to receive a GWF Title shot that most definitely should and that man is one of the GWF founders

– Omega. Omega came out and was thankful and embraced Keller’s competitive spirit reasoning that this is why he and Morpheus formed the GWF.

1) Ricken Prince pinned Torpor following BOW TO THE PRINCE

2) Crosscurrents beat The Mensans when Vortex pinned Trotarus when Trotarus missed a turnbuckle charge.

For all those who are playing EC as well, I'm looking....to steal some ideas!!!

I'm at the point in the EC Years where Omega is getting ready to introduce a young Star Warriors to the fans of the GWF and start training the Gamemasters.
