From rookie to Phenom - The Mark "Undertaker" Calaway story (sortof) - WS2

[doncoryell]

This will be a thread involving my trials and tribulations with a young wrestler from Houston, Texas, Mark Calaway (see picture under my username), and his rise to stardom (hopefully). The posts for the first year will be quick because it has already been posted at another site and placed here to get everyone caught up.

This is going to be done with the wrestling game "Wrestling Spirit 2" and with the D.O.T.T. (Death Of The Territories) database, which starts at the beginning of May, 1983.

[doncoryell]

Mark Calaway was born in Houston, Texas and after watching WCCW on TV when he was a kid, he decided that he wanted to be a wrestler rather than a basketball player after having to make the choice at the request of his college basketball coach.


Mark has contacted two promotions in looking for work, Pacific Northwest Wrestling and Southwest Championship Wrestling.


I will be following the hirings and firings of the "Big Three" (WWF, MACW, AWA) and a few of the wrestlers. The following list of wrestlers will be followed during their "career": Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Spoiler, Arn Anderson, King Kong Bundy and Dave "Fit" Finlay. If any of you readers would like me to follow any other wrestler(s) please let me know.
