EDIT: I've kindly received an offer, and the design was brilliant, so feel free to ignore!

Hi all,

My Life Isn't Fair diary is coming perilously close to WrestleMania XIV, and I wanted to acknowledge it somehow. 

I'd be very grateful if someone could do an event poster, similar to the advertising used in real life (although sadly/fortunately, Mike Tyson won't be involved)?

I've included links to two of the pictures which hopefully illustrate what kind of graphic I'm looking for:

Also... I feel a bit cheeky also asking for this, but other match graphics could be fun? E.g. in this format https://theoclardy.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/mero-sable-tafkag-luna.jpg

I can PM the full card. A lot of it is noted in the most recent post I've made: 

 

I promise to appropriately reward the designer   

 

 

Thanks,

nihilist  

 

I got 8/10, 7/10, 3/10, 2/10 

From Newcastle to Swindon Town

I attempted to find a picture of him for a side-by-side comparison, and I accidently saw his penis...

So that's why his and Moustache Mountain's regular theme is Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel!

At this time Road Dogg & BIlly Gunn were a tag team they'd just won the Tag Team Dumpster Match against Cactus & Funk(Chainsaw Charlie) and were the "cool" Heel tag team. Just checked the Finished PDF for the WWF Roster. I think The Outlaws were tag champs? IOr was the title held up at this point or am I completely off by a year and they'd started teaming late in 1997 or something. I think I'm a year off but I know they started teaming in '97 at some point. Is this ready because I'd really be interested in playing it. You're 7 months out of "The Screwjob" and a year away from Austin climbing the mountain. It's such a great time do a game.

You're thinking of April 1998, not 1997

The Outlaws started teaming in October '97 (so six months down the line)- around April, WWF were prepping Billy Gunn for the new gimmick of Honky Tonk Man's protege and Jesse Jam[m]es was doing sweet FA.

Tag Champs were still Bulldog and Owen cos Bret wanted the belts kept on them to kick off the Hart Foundation angle on the biggest note possible.

I've seen the finalized WCW roster, and I think I've already made this point before, but I think the overness of most of the midcard and the lower-midcard is far, far too low!

My big example is Rey Mysterio Jr who is stuck in the lower-midcard on 55, when he should be at least 10 points more, if not reaching the 70s! He was well over in WCW- I know that the disparity between the main event and the rest of the card in WCW was massive, but those overness ratings are just ridiculous- if you played the scenario on easy in EWR 4.2, you'd be left with a really teeny WCW roster after just a few days play LOL!

So shocked and saddened to hear this news... Velvet Underground were such an influential band and Lou himself is such an iconic performer that it's a great loss to rock music.

So yesterday...

Trevor wakes up from a drunken stupor on the furthest east mountain range, wearing a woman's dress... and nothing else. He walks along the range, approaching some kind of weather station, but then, what should come out of the bushes but a jaguar?

I tried to run, tried to hide, but Trevor in his woman's dress got savaged

Again

The most bizarre thing to happen to me so far (20% of the way through)...

Trevor's driving along the highway at the top of the map when at the side of the road pops up a man with lipstick scrawled on his chest wearing nothing but a pair of panties. He's tied up to a post. Trevor frees him, and basically has to take the poor guy and his best man to a wedding... he doesn't become a crew member tho

I cannot get my head around this Mata stuff. Why the fuck do Chelsea want to sell him? He's only going to strengthen either A) One of your main rivals for the PL title or B) One of your rivals in the Champions League

Would that €30m Liverpool bid have been after Spurs supposedly made a €35m bid for him and were told to fuck off?

Have they been taking notes at the David Moyes School of Transfer Bidding?

It's not Moyes that makes the bids. He picks the players and the CEO decides how much to bid for them.

I heard he picks the prices of the pies, too.

surely prawn sandwiches?

Anyway, what is the deal with Mata not playing at Chelsea?

I've recently been sorting out a scenario starting from August 1997 based on the original EWR '98 with tweaks and changing stats where required, as I'm planning a diary from that time period. It shouldn't be too bad really to change the details, because after all it's only two months or so. beforehand.

Roster counts from the time period can be found at www.solie.org Click on the rosters tab at the side, then scroll down, et voila!

We've had the first managerial casualty of the season. Coventry have sacked Andy Thorn.

As a Sky Blue fan (I know, I know!), I do feel sorry for Andy Thorn- he was promoted from within the club as a cost-saving measure and then when he did get the team playing good football, the club simply allowed the best players at the club to leave and then compounded that error by failing to invest in decent to good players who might have kept us in the Championship. We had some okish young players, yes, but they didn't have the necessary experience needed for the situation we found ourselves in. I also can't believe that Coventry are the first club to sack their manager this season, only three league games into a 46 game league and the timing also means that the new manager (whoever it may be) won't be able to spend any (if we've got some, that is) money in the transfer window.

Newcastle seems to have agreed a deal for Coventry midfielder Gael Bigirimana. Does anybody know if he's good?

I'm a Coventry fan who saw Gael play regularly last season, and I thought he was pretty good, but after he got sent off in one game, his confidence and form really tailed off (then again, he was playing in a team that got relegated from the Championship). Nevertheless, he's a hard worker who could dispatch a lovely long ball, and I think he could develop even further at Newcastle... I just hope we've got a fair price for him

I'm intrigued by this game and just wonder if it would run okish on a laptop?

For Coventry, off the top of my head:

Kevin Kyle: seriously, the man is a joke who has no reason to be playing football at all.

Ysrael Zuniga: The man from Peru who mysteriously went missing

Jay Bothroyd: Not good for us, too young.

Craig Bellamy: Not fair really, but he was brought in to score goals which he steadfastly refused to. We got relegated from the Prem that season, I wonder why...

Nacho Novo and Matt Jansen: Didn't do a great deal whilst on trial/loan, putting it mildly.

If this project comes off, I would be rushing to see it. Totally love Hicks' work.

However, I would have said that Bill Murray was virtually a spitting image of Bill Hicks...if Murray was some 20 years younger. But I think Murray could play the role quite well if called upon.

damn it, sorry to hear that! Was looking forward to it...I feel bad for PM'ing you a question about my role now

Did the guest woman actually say anything of note tonight? Frankie was on top form, and I'm starting to warm to Russell Howard. Mind you, Hugh's coasting, literally phoning it in the last coupla episodes...

Well, Inter did sign Robbie Keane from Coventry once, so stranger things have happened.

Yeah, great shame, tho we did double our money on him...what always really hacked me off though was when he came back to England some...four months later? cos the coach who signed him got fired- Robbie went straight to Leeds

In other Coventry related news, it looks like Mifsud's joining Bristol City. Mixed feelings, but he did slack towards the end of last season...just hope we can sign a decent replacement.

Yeah, the spaces have gone very quickly, so there's definitely a lot of interest. Glad I got in!

Sounds good, I'm in!

I'm a massive fan of Joy Division, and honestly I think Ian Curtis' lyrics are amazingly evocative of his emotions and feelings. Love Will Tear Us Apart, that's the big JD song and if you just look at the lyrics to the song, you can imagine the relationship he had with his wife and how his feelings contributed to the destruction of their bond.

If you like controversy, Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke's your man, too.

I'll have a go- in

I'd like in.
