1) Flying High Again
*********************
As I type this newsletter this morning a fan, friend, and potential
financial supporter of the WGU is on a plane flying over the Rocky
Mountains on her way location considered by many to be the birth
place of modern professional wrestling and the origin of many of it's
stars. Tomorrow is a big day for the WGU and she's successful it will
be the shot in the arm we need to get PW-X off the ground in the
eyes of the media and investors. I've learned not to get to excited
about things until their written in stone but, dammit, I'm stoked
and jealous as hell that I'm not the one going.
Good luck, Tracy.
2) PW-X and major indie wrestlers
*********************************
It's official, last week we made a handshake deal with a local NWA
champ to use his likeness and animate his signature moves for PW-X.
He's a young, talented, rising star who's already had great matches
with some of the most popular indie guys and he's on his way to
L.A. this weekend to make a deal to go to Japan. We wish him the best
of luck and look forward to introducing him soon to the WGU fans.
I get a lot of email asking which indie stars might be contributing
to PW-X. I have a better idea, why don't you tell us?
Email me your list of indie stars you think would help make PW-X
an even better game and we'll do out best to get them involved on
your behalf. Tell me what it is about each wrestler that makes him/her
a good choice. Is it their moves? Their gimmick? Do you have any
contact info we could use? (phone number, website address, etc)
We've already listened to people who said, "you gotta talk to this
guy" and as a result he's going to contribute. Your favorite indie
wrestler could very well be eager to see himself immortalized in PW-X
and you could be the guy that helped make it possible.
Email your suggestions to Dave@WrestlingGamersUnited.com with the
subject line "indie wrestlers" and I promise to make contact and do
my best to get them involved.
3) Mel stomps Sanders?
***********************
Let's get ready to RRRRRRRUMBLE!!
What would happen if our renegade crew member, Mel Hauser, got a
chance to talk to Sanders Keel and rip him a new one? Well we way
have finally got a chance to see for ourselves as the two of them
have been at each other's throats on a martial arts related
message board. You'll even recognize some familiar names from the
PW-X board and they've all done an A+ job making their case.
Is it really Sanders? I have my doubts as it would mean he'd be
in serious shit with THQ for getting involved in such a public
display of corporate stupidity. But hey, if it is him, it's one
hell of an entertaining show.
See for yourself...

YamatoDamashi is Sanders...apparently.
4) It's happening again...
**************************
If, like me, you returned your copy of No Mercy three times
and still have to live with "the glitch" you've probably learned
to live with it in order to enjoy the game at all.
If that's the case I urge you not to visit the link below. It details
one person's experiences trying to get THQ to do the right thing
and fix his cart. Needless to say, his reading his experiences revived
old blood thirsty thoughts in me and rekindled my THQ nightmare.
But the ending to his story is just plain incredible....
The THQ Timeline of Ineptitude
In the meantime and in between time, that's it. Another edition of
Wrestling Gamers United.
