Update: October 8, 2007
Now that Legends International is here I'm enthusiastically playing again! My fed still focuses on team feuds and here they are:
THE ROUGHNECKS (Bobo Brazil, Johnny Valentine, Bruiser Brody, Jushin Liger) vs. THE GANG OF FOUR (Harley Race, Frank Gotch, Ivan Koloff, Ox Baker, and now managed by Sir Oliver Humperdink).
LOU ALBANO'S STABLE (Jimmy Snuka, Curt Hennig, King Kong Bundy, and the Road Warriors vs. THE HEENAN FAMILY (Don Muraco, Rick Rude, King Kong Mosca, and the Orton Boys). Rumor has it the James Gang is waiting in the wings to join Heenan. NEWS: Curt Hennig has jumped ship, leaving the Heenan Family and joining Lou Albano's team. Mosca has joined Heenan to challenge Bundy in a battle over the King Kong moniker as Mosca claims to be the bigger and stronger man.
REAL HEROES (The Kangaroos, Iron Mike DiBiase, Diamond Dallas Page, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Boogie Woogie Man, Yukon Eric, Ida Mae Martinez, and managed by Wild Red Berry) vs. D.I.E. which stands for DiBiase International Enterprises (Ted DiBiase, Iron Sheik, Terrible Turk, Fritz Von Goering, the Mountie, the Mongols, and Sheri Martel). Ted DiBiase has opened an international cartel and is signing all the biggest foreign villains of the wrestling world to his roster. His father, enraged yet again by Ted's actions, has put together a team with Wild Red Berry to stop Ted.
Nonaffiliated wrestlers include the Sheik and Sabu (managed by the Weasel), S.D. Jones, and the Missing Link.
The action will resume in a hot and heavy card at the Rochester War Memorial with a headlining bout of the Roughnecks against the Gang of Four in an Elimination Cage Match! Jushin Liger is being billed as a "Mystery Partner" by Bobo Brazil in advance of the card.
