The Federation

 

When I was younger I was not really into super heroes and comic books I never really liked Superman or Batman or any of the other hundreds of super heroes. I guess my super heroes were wrestlers, every weekend I could not wait for both our local wrestling show "Stampede Wrestling" or the nationally televised WWF ... The World Wrestling Federation to come on TV on Saturday afternoons. These were my superheros ... giant larger than life characters doing battle , good verses evil in the squared circle. The endless amount of action combined with a dramatic story line that would put grandma's soap operas to shame this was my addiction. From the time I was a toddler until my early 20's I lived ate and breathed wrestling.

 

I could recite the name of every star, I knew their nick names, their real names, their finishing moves, where they were billed as originating from, I even knew all their fighting weights. My friends and I would often imitate the pros I could do a mean impression of nearly every star, we would also choreograph out our own matches pretending to be the stars of the WWF or sometimes we would make up our own characters. We even made a home made WWF championship belt made out of wood and wire and duct tape ... painted black and silver it was the most coveted title in the neighborhood and i won and lost it on many occasions.

 

For me with wrestling it was the interviews and the story lines that grabbed me even more than the action in the ring. Back then the Federation was known as The WWF now days it's refered to as the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) it had to change it's name due to a legal dispute over the brand WWF with the World Wildlife Fund. It was about the time this happened that I lost interest in the story lines and the characters. By this time most of my favorite super stars had moved on or retired or sadly passed away. An all to common fate for people in the wrestling world, early death due to health issues relating to drug and steroid abuse as well as severe depression leading to suicide most likely brought on by PCS (post concussion syndrome). Many of the super heroes of my youth gave their lives to provide wrestling fans with entertainment. I don't watch wrestling at all anymore, the WWE  just is not for me .... I am WWF all the way.

 

The Puzzle

 

To solve the puzzle you must correctly identify the 10 wrestlers in the photo below and then match them up with their wrestling names, their real names and their finishing moves. Find each wrestlers total value by adding together their 4 numbers. Once you have each wrestlers total value you will need to solve an equation to come up with the numeric pass code for the geo checker. If your answer is correct you will get the mystery coords for the secret cache location ... good luck and have fun !!!

N 33° 59.132 W 118° 28.381

N 51° 02.971 W 114° 05.018

 

Tag Team D

 

N 33° 48.332 W 084° 10.193

N 35° 08.925 W 090° 03.158

 

Tag Team E

 

N 53° 24.482 W 002° 59.175

N 55° 51.900 W 004° 15.167

 

 

The Final Equation

 

Take the total value of Tag Team A and add it to Tag team B

Take your new number and multiply it by the total of Tag Team C

Now take your new number and add it to the total of Tag Team D

Take your new number and multiply it by the total of Tag Team E

Your new number should be the numeric pass code
