“That was ... brutal.

I only realised about an hour before the match that I was going to be down 1,000 TV, so choosing inducements was a bit of a panic. I've learned my lesson though - star players are tempting but they get knocked off the pitch too easily, whereas Wrestle is really, really annoying to play against, and I figured a combination of Dirty Player and Kick could do the business.

First half was proper giant killer mode - fouls worked well and I reduced his team to something like 4 players at the end, and he failed a dodge to stop himself scoring in turn 8.

Second half was a blur. I tried to get the ball forwards, had a rather ineffective cage, but it was soooo close.

So then overtime, and by then I was flagging a bit, both mentally and with the remnants of the team. Proud that I managed to grind him to only being able to score after 8 turns of overtime - not the walkover I'd feared.

Downside is that I have two dead Blockers to replace - and Al Gore was just about to level up and get Block, which would have saved his life. Oh well. With 50,000 in the treasury, it will be a while before I can afford him.

Fun game. Dice were a travesty for Dominik in the first half - I think my XFL mojo was doing well. For a while, anyway.”
