The first wrestling tournament was fun, so I followed up with another one. This one also utilized The Squared Circle, but this time I used the 1986 National Wrestling Alliance (Jim Crockett Promotions Mid-Atlantic Territory) set.
I didn’t get to see this promotion in real time, but read about it at the time in Pro Wrestling Illustrated, and eventually saw some of these wrestlers in WWF or WCW.
I picked 20 wrestlers from the set, seeded them according to the game’s rankings, and set up another double-elimination tournament.
This tournament ran from October to November 2023.
Nikita Koloff, the #3 seed, won the championship.
