Hey guys! This is the first of hopefully many columns I will be
writing for both the TNM Basement Newsletter and my website. In this
article I will talk about how I first found out about TNM, and how
TNMania came to be. I first found out about TNM when I was just
getting into wrestling again after staying away from it for a couple
years. I searched on some search engine for "wrestling games" and I
somehow found TNM. I downloaded version 6.2 and I was immediatly
hooked! I love simulating games of any kind and TNM was the best one I
had ever seen. After a while I registered it so I could get the extra
features even though it was already good enough. Then I went searching
around for all kinds of TNM related stuff. I found 4 pages. I was
shocked. For such a widely used program there was only 4 pages: The
PWW, MiddleGA's Page, Rick Garrard's Page and Brians WWF Circuit. I
loved all 4 and visited them daily. Then Graeme McGaw of the PWW
started a TNM Discussion List. At the start we only had about 70 or so
subscribers and it was all TNM talk which I liked. Only a couple
messages a day. Over a couple months we had over 500 subscribers and
about 500 non-TNM messages a day! I couldn't stand waiting 30 minutes
for my mail to arrive so I quit the list. The list is still going on
today. Before I quit though, I started a little something.

In a couple of days, I built TNMania. It was an instant hit due to a
couple things: PWW, the largest TNM site, had just closed and I was
the only guy with the full PWWTNM Rules on my site. I had 464 hits in
my second day which is still a record. I also had booking sheets which
hadn't gotten much publicity on Rick Garrard's site. It started small
but once TNM 7 was released TNMania felt a boom!

On September 1st we had 463 hits onto TNMania! I went all out that day
and added a ton of exports. A couple days later I added some plugins
and the rest of the long lost PWWTNM Rules! Another boom! TNMania was,
next to the Official Site, the most popular TNM page on the web. We
had passed 15,000 hits in only a couple months. Then business slowed
down a bit but the hits kept coming. Other pages were popping up like
BOyCOTT Soft. and Lee's WWF Circuit. Then I did a couple massive
updates and TNMania was back on top again. I added the rest of the
PWWTNM rules and more plugins and exports. I made the site more
interactive and by the time you read this, TNMania will have undergone
a makeover and will be a more user-friendly site. Only bright pastures
lay ahead for TNM and TNMania. So until next time, this is Jeff with
some TNM Memories.

Match observations: 

With a number of upsets, this card will be well remembered for quite a 
while. With Shawn Foley and Marvelous Mike suffering a loss to Deadly 
Mitch Extreme, only the world can wonder what is going to happen in 
the EWA in the weeks to come. The most exciting moment, however, was 
the three way brawl at the end between the nbw, Ua, and MOB.
