1)Here we go again
******************
I've been taking my vitamins and getting plenty of sleep in
preparations
for another shot with a new investor. I know we've been down this road
before guys and been disappointed but this time I can honestly say I'm
going into it more prepared than ever. This investor is a good guy and
happens to be related to someone on the crew. He also happens to have
enough
money to fully finance about 500 games, not just ours. Regardless of
past
set backs I feel very good about this one. We've already spoken to him
and
the response was good. He has no problem at all with the amount of money
we
asked for (over a quarter of a million) but we now have the job of
presenting him with a solid financial statement detailing the total cost
of the project right down to the last paper clip. And he obviously will
not
throw that much money at an inexperienced management team so I'll likely
be announcing the addition of a new crew member someday soon who will
bring
a boat load if industry experience to the team.
We're still in the game guys and we're in it to win it.
2) Southern wrestling
***********************
We all know about the great message board run by Lil Cube and
Shi-yu but I want to let you guys in on a little gem run by a
a guy named Brent down south. There are some great links especially
to great southern feds and wrestlers. I think the background
graphic on the message board contains some of the coolest looking
masks I've ever seen. It's a fun site to surf, check it out when you
get a chance.

3) Bret Hart
*************
Bret Hart recently relaunched his website and I want to bring your
attention to one of the most thorough and factual accounts of the
famous Montreal Screwjob. For those of you too young to remember, Bret
Hart was viciously deceived by Vince, Michaels, and his good friend
and referee Hebner when he left the WWF for WCW. It was easily the
lowest
point in Bret's career and pro wrestling in general.
Visit http://www.brethart.com/ and click on "montreal" in the link list.
4) No Mercy is the worst game ever!
***********************************
Believe it or not I've actually revived votes for No Mercy as the
worst game ever since announcing the WGU Hall of Fame award last week.
Even the untouchable Fire Pro D has had a few votes for worst game and
Smackdown4 is doing fairly well in the Best Game category.
Do you agree with these people? Do you think they're inhaling
something
they shouldn't be?
Then help me make this award as prestigious as possible by reaching
out to the gamers who may not have heard about it yet. I'm sure you'd
be upset if your favorite game didn't win and you didn't get a chance
to vote so here's what I suggest:
Check out each of the following message boards and invite everyone
on them to visit this link to info about the contest,
http://www.wrestlinggamersunited.com/news01102203a.htm
This way word will get around very quick and we'll end up with a wide
cross section of wrestling gamers to make the voting as fair as
possible.
If you post a message about the voting it won't be considered off topic
as long as you mention the specific game to which each board is
dedicated.
For example, tell the Fire Pro D board about a chance to make Fire Pro D
the winner of the award. See what I mean? Check out the links and thanks
for helping out!

5) Tirador is coming
*********************
While I've been filling my time juggling numbers and budgeting
the production of PWX, Tirador has been slowly coming to life at
the hands of WGU artist Darrell C. and he's looking good. The plan
is to unveil Tirador along with another PWX roster member in the
near future and together with Dre you will see three distinctly
different visual styles of 3d modeling. I will then present these
models to you, the fans, and ask you to choose which visual style
you want to see in PWX. What other developer would do that?
In the meantime and in-between time, that's it. Another edition of
Wrestling Gamers United.
Thank you all,
Dave Wishnowski
