I was fascinated with the new Punch/mill deck build and thought Kane would be the perfect superstar for it. It's not really a deck that needs to get F so long as my opponent keeps stopping my punches and if he doesn't stop them hey, I'm gaining fortitude. Originally was gonna pack OSWM but I didn't want it to come back to bite me in the ass. Between the Punches, NWO, ability, and Journey through the darkness it's plenty of mill to keep my opponent on edge. HIAC I thought was the better option for a stip to keep my opponent from recovering. I noticed that I have HCTC in the deck. I forgot to take it out as I used one of my templates to build the deck. Maybe I'll squeeze another Kane specific in. Any feedback on the deck is greatly appreciated.

Pre-match is pretty basic. I only pack tenth and the sig just so I can avoid Backstage shenanigans. Showtime gives me a pretty good chance at going first against most decks.

After a few Trial and errors I came across playing this deck. I owe a lot of credit to Crasher for the original design of the deck, or at least the leading game plan. He played against me using Boston + set-up + Shoot 360 kick. I liked the idea and wondered if someone could do it better.. that someone came to be Viscera. His new support is amazing. The key card would have to be The Quarter-Ton Titan. he gets to go search out two non-unique maneuvers and put them in his hand(Usually DDT/german and Shoot 360) as well as make his opponent ditch a card of his choice. paired with Trash talk that gives me a few options at times and really is the key to pushing shoot 360 kick through first turn. In most cases the only thing that stops Shoot 360 kick is elbow or superstar specific reversals. If I'm playing someone with a massive hand though and feel it might be necessary I'll choose their action reversals and lay down RTV to drop their hand down. Once I get some Fortitude on the board (usually I will try to reverse first turn and throw a german so I avoid Old School Brawl) Lumberjack match is my baby. A Successful DDT after Irish whip equals 4 cards from their hand. Thanks to Big Daddy V my Irish Whips cannot be responded to I also have the option to Plunge that DDT with Gut Wrench. Less cards discarded but a lot harder to stop.


I'm open to suggestions on changing some stuff around I think it works fairly well geting Fortitude on the board. It's not gonna be top tier by any means but he is still very very good in my opinion he's also fun to play and easy to build if you're a new player.

1) Yeah, their was a belt in there before I posted. I took it out because my deck ended up being illegal. I never played the belt but it was the WWE championship. I prefer to keep the King Interferes over the belt. I was thinking about adding in Evening up the odds so I'll replace the champ is here with that.

2 and 3) although I do agree with you I have hardly seen anyone play precision Haymaker in a long time. Last night I played against Sabu who is strike heavy as well as high risk and I was able to counter quite a bit of them. Nerve hold is in there mainly for people who tend to be submission heavy. Maybe I'll take a look and see what I can remove to add in a leg drag.

4) I really must have overlooked Ole. I packed it in my Mae deck. I must have missed it when building Moolah.

5) I only packed 1 Don't try because I do have the women's evolution in my backlash that also stops ace effects. With 45 cards in Arsenal I did what I could with what I had. I figured maybe after a few more games if the reversal base needed a change I'd look into it. I may switch in an additional once is enough. But for right now the only thing I need to add at the moment would be leg drag and ole. Maybe since she can also pack maneuvers of 3D I'll take out consequences and backhand and add sidewalk slams for the additional F.

This was a pretty fun deck to build. I don't think I've ever seen anyone go a volley route with moolah.
for the pre-match the most important things to get out are Jimmy, the pyros, playing by the rules, all these years and possibly tech. From turn one I just start to remove anything I feel is essential to the deck. IF possible I'll try to get rid of the don't try's as they can come in hand to my opponent late game when I'm acing volley beyond the edge. both times I've used the deck I've just been lucky to get a volley in play start of game and both opponents were not chain or heat. This deck just sits and stalls for the most part. even though she doesn't get the benefit of packing thrust knee lifts her ability paired with the small volley maneuvers that remove cards and volleyed beyond the edge is more than enough to pump up the whip. She also gets the benefit from legend cards and era of the superstar. It's certainly a fun deck. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Is there a reason you decided to do Back to Basics? he's much more useful using multi maneuvers due to his pre-match card.

Strikes are hardly ever played in my area. Not really worth the pack to me.

Kinda just the standard Leader deck. Trying to get Marking out in play is Key. Throw your protected Vickie maneuvers after getting on the board with some chain. Suggestions welcomed. You can play all your Pre-match however, I feel that's where the deck may be lacking.

I know that everyone is not in the Raw Deal Facebook page so I thought I might as well post here too. I was thinking about hosting another large Raw Deal event this time in Chicago. Now I'm not entirely sure when or where so I thought maybe I would ask for some suggestions. I'm looking for any card shops, comic shops, or any event You think would host such an event. Last year I did the Planet Funkcon event in the Quad Cities so I'm looking to do something similar that means possibly even putting up a WWE belt from the shop. Maybe even 2.

Things to keep in mind.
-I'm looking to keep costs at a minimum. Last year I charged $30 per person and then $10 or $15 for entry into the convention. This is something I would like to avoid if at all possible. I understand conventions need to charge an entry to make money but I also keep in mind not everyone is going for the convention.

-If people are interested I would like to do 2 tournaments back to back. So that means I would need location for Saturday and Sunday.
The main Tournament would be Virtual Classic format the other one would be a gimmick tournament.

If I remember correctly (and boy is my memory shot.) I believe we had 16 people at Funk Con. I am wanting to surpass that with this event. Any help is much appreciated I want one more go at running a big event like this and to be a lot more organized. Funk Con wasn't bad by any means but I know I messed up with the way prizes were handed out last time. I want no errors this time.


Thanks everyone.

I'm not really sure what you mean by discarding it? Neither of those cards say anything about discarding. You could use "I am a real American" to set your ssv to +10 and then play fan appreciation day to lower the fortitude on your next card by a lot. Also pack best laid plans and play him heel or bash so you can get your starting hand back but then again fan appreciation day is face so it wouldn't really work.

Gregory Helms Ace Reporter (TB) listed as an event.

Ummmmmm, isn't the championship currently in the Midwest?? Just sayin ....I like the enthusiasm though :)

Thanks Crasher for your support<3 I try to be the best.

I'll be there. 😉

It would really depend on the date, how much it costs for travel and rooms. I can travel seldomly and since the Canadians have their event in May next year it's only fair I make sure to attend that one.

I cant wait to throw an 8f precision haymaker with nakamura and have it hit twice lol

I can't wait to beef up a precision kick that they don't reverse from hand.

Congrats SRH!
