Began working on "WrestlePOP" in 2016, then the game became "Fake Fights," which I postponed earlier this year.

Was gonna scrap the game entirely, but I've re-thought it and I will continue it, but not in the way I initially envisioned.

It's name is now "NIFE Fights."

NIFE means "National Illegal Feuds Exhibition," the name of the organization that promotes "NIFE Fights" from city-to-city. The characters from Fake Fights will all appear in NIFE Fights, but they'll no longer be wrestlers, nor will I in any way now make a *wrestling* card game.

I explained last year on Twitter that I was frustrated with wrestling fandom and no longer wanted to produce wrestling fan content. I still enjoyed certain areas of wrestling though. Now, in 2020, I have ZERO interest in wrestling. Even the good stuff does nothing for me anymore.

I want to make cartoons about interesting fighter characters and make a game that puts a spin on the standard fighting game. I can develop such projects without wrestling being attached to them, so why let this thing that now does nothing but make me groan linger around my work?

NIFE Fights is no wrestling game, it's a cartoon combat card game. If wrestling fans want to enjoy it the same way they enjoy Street Fighter or Smash Bros, no problem. Just don't start asking me to make a WWE version of NIFE Fights. I will just block you. You have been warned.
