In the Tough Guy Division, there was an unbreakable tie between RIOT: �Mac Daddy� Freddie Fuller and RIOT: Avatarr the Collector, both of whom scored 497. Therefore, both wrestlers can stake claim to winning the Tough Guy Division and the World Title.
ULTIMATE ROYAL CHAMP
Following suit with the World Title situation this month, the Ultimate Royal Championship was also marred in controversy as both LG: El Doctor Quiero (CPW) and LG: Broadway Bill Langston (USW) fell over the top rope and landed on the floor simultaneously in the IWF-Wide Battle Royal that crowns the champion. Thus, both wrestlers stake their claim to the UR Title. They both had a perfect 140 for their manager Chris Dutschmann of Texas, and had to beat out Alex �The Truth� Achieva (STW) by point concentration.
From the desk of the IWF Congratulations are in order for RIOT: �Mac Daddy� Freddie Fuller for winning the King of the IWF Tournament defeating MAIM/WDCD: Lobo the Crippler in the final (497-494). The field started out with 64 wrestlers like the NCAA Basketball Tournament and in the end it was the �Mac Daddy� prevailing, earning 75 wrestler of the year rankings points, and earning Nathan Couch 50 free matches! Nathan also wins 50 free matches for being the manager of the year for the second consecutive year! A big congrats also goes out to Chris Dutschmann and his wrestler, El Doctor Quiero, for winning the Wrestler of the Year Award! Quiero wins Chris a rather lucrative Championship Belt for his accomplishment! Nice going, Chris! In addition, like we did last year, we are going to give a Pro Wrestling Illustratedesque Top Tag and 6-Man Team of the Year Honor, strictly in opinion, but based on accomplishments. 6-Man Team of the Year: LG�s: Donnie Brasco, Don Corleone, and Frankie Ringa: this team was the only team all year that won the IWF World Six-Man Titles on 2 occasions. Kudos to their manager, Mike �The 6-Man God?� Cardella! Tag Team of the Year: The Spanish Doctors (LG�s: El Doctor Quiero and El Doctor Pepper): this was a very close call, as no team won World Tag more than once this year. However, the Spanish Doctors tied for World Tag on another occasion and asserted their dominance in the CPW tag scene, with some very tough competition. Congrats to Chris Dutschmann on some more fine managing!

Moving along, here are the ratings shares for your respective leagues in IWF Cycle #24. Remember that ratings share is determined by the number of cards divided by 10. It is a measure of activity, so if you take pride in your league, help it win the best rating! Here are the shares: CPW: 3.2, USW: 3.4, MLW: 2.5, HBW: 2.1, STW: 5.3
Thinking about joining another IWF League? Well, join any additional league in Cycle #25 and receive a special 2 matches for $1 in that league! Justin Flanzraich would like me to reiterate to all managers that he is going to be starting his tournament in MLW soon and awarding a trophy to the winner, so managers, MLW is waiting for you! As announced last cycle, STABLE WARS is here! Think your stable is number 1? Well, here�s your chance to prove it! Let�s rehash the competition will work. Each stable must submit a roster of 5 singles wrestlers, 1 tag team, and 1 six- man team. They can be any wrestlers you choose and agreed upon by your stable members. If you are in a small stable and only have 3 wrestlers, your wrestlers will fight �double duty� in singles matches since there are 5 singles matches to be fought. Registration must be submitted no later than the end of IWF Cycle #25, because first round stable matches are going to start in Cycle #26. So if you haven�t already submitted your entries, please hurry or you�ll miss out on the chance to get your stable some glory! We will be using the same format as the King of the IWF Tourney and it will take several cycles to complete this elimination tournament. Also, it is important to note that if a manager leaves a stable after registration is submitted and if he has wrestlers on his stable�s team, we have no choice but to leave them on the team regardless. We won�t be able to allow substituting wrestlers because it will make the process very complicated. The tournament has a $5 entry fee per stable and you should be receiving updates in the mail, as complementary items to your bulletins. How/who pays for the entry fee in your stable is entirely up to you guys. Good luck everyone! To managers who signed matches or ordered the IWF-Wide PPV, we are hoping to have the special write-up bulletins mailed sometime before the end of cycle #25. Here are the results for all matches and as said, expect the complete write-ups with angles galore to come soon.
