PIZZA and WOO. This is a partnership that might not be as well known, but it is still in it's EARLY DAYS.
What is WOO you might be wondering?
WOO (Wrestling Organization Online) is a NFT Trading Card Game based on wrestling (well, i think the name makes it kind of obvious π€£) which is still in its early Alpha Stage. How early? Well, they've only just had their Alpha Presale Release for whitelisted candidates yesterday! π€ΌββοΈπ€ΌββοΈ
Of course, with WOO being a partner with PIZZA, it has been firmly in my sights since it was first announced last year, and I knew that I just had to get in on it's Alpha prelaunch (at last)! πππ

Never fear! Catch up on what you've missed with my brief (and hopefully entertaining) updates on the ins and outs of the PIZZA DISCORDππ₯³π
As a BIG FAN of πPIZZAπ, I always suggest joining PIZZA DISCORD if you need a quick pickmeup. π It's a friendly and helpful community with regular EVENTS, AIRDROPS of various crypto tokens, discussions of several GAMES on HIVE (Splinterlands, Rising Star, HashKings, Exode...), MUSIC, ART, and even bits of FINANCE ... well I think you get the idea π
π°ππ€ΌββοΈ Who wants some WOO Alpha Packs? π°ππ€ΌββοΈ
Well, I did manage to get into WOO's Whitelist all thanks to the special PIZZA-WOO partnership, which allowed quite a few of us early birds at PIZZA to get into their whitelisting program. However, getting the bonus packs that came with a minimum pack purchase of 100 was quite a bit beyond me. So, off to @thebeardflex i went, since I was pretty sure he's getting a huge bunch for PIZZA.
TOO LATE for me though! πππ PIZZA's purchases have already been locked in!
β¨β¨β¨ SNEAK PEEK REVEAL here! β¨β¨β¨
PIZZA WOO Scholarships in the future! PIZZA has bought a significant number of packs. ππ€ΌββοΈ
You can also PAY FOR WOO PACKS using PIZZA Tokens! π±ππΈ
Well, in my quest to gather 10 Brave Souls for a small 100 WOO Alpha Pack Pool, I've got @h3m4n7 and @vaynard86 jumping onboard immediately (but vaynard didn't have the liquid Hive to make it happen unfortunately π€£). Time to sound the call for more like minded wrestlers! πππ
Didn't take us too long before we had @thebeardflex @huzzah @ravenmus1c and @drabs587 joining in the pool too! 6 down! 4 to go!
Pinging more people.
It seems quite a few people aren't quite sure what WOO is about, but going into it based on PIZZA's partnership with WOO.
Beard kindly provided a quick rundown about WOO's plans and roadmap. Seems like we're in super early, and WOO is right on schedule with the Alpha release in Q1 2022 as forecasted.
This bodes well for any project in my opinion. ππ»ππ»ππ»
@cryptoniusrex makes number 7! And was followed soon after by @forykw!
Cryptonius was also pleasantly surprised by the additional 10% bonus packs we'd all be receiving as part of this pool π.
@rondonshneezy and @dadspardan quickly filled out our 2 remaining spots needed!
We've completed our mission objectives! 10 people buying 10 packs each to unlock the 100 pack minimum for a 10% bonus! π₯³π
π€π€π€BOT RAID ATTACKπ€π€π€
We interrupt your WOO Alpha Presale Pool Party with... a massive BOT RAID!!! Nothing that PIZZA can't handle. Shows how popular we're getting to be getting worth the effort for a bot invasion.
β°βCountdown to Presale Launchβ°β
A few more people joined in!
We had @creodas @hivetrending and @smokrthou for an eventual total amount of 140 packs!
Not bad at all. And here I was thinking that it'll be really hard to get a 100 pack purchase going. Looks like the people in PIZZA know when a good deal is going to ape in π.
And oops, I knew the tally was off somewhere π . Trying to constantly update the list and I somehow missed Rondon! A quick edit and disaster was averted! π
Well now, BookerMan aka @wrestorgonline suddenly chimed in with info about AIRDROPS! Every pack bought in the Alpha Presale will also be eligible for a special 1 NFT pack which contains a chance for a special Perry Saturn card! (He's a legendary card btw π±).
As @smokrthou notes correctly, this entire Alpha sale is an insanely good deal indeed! ππ»ππ»ππ»π€π€π€
So sorry about not being able to respond to some of you guys at the last minute who were trying to get into the pool @definethedollar π°.
Had to focus on the task at hand and camp the Presale site with minutes to go. And I'm glad I did, as nearly 8000 packs flew off the shelves instantly! (It was fully sold out eventually too - in case any of you were wondering π±π€―)
πππRipping Open our Packsπππ
First person to rip open his packs and @creodas got a Gold Foil! @ravenmus1c duly responded with an Epic and a LEGENDARY! π±π€―π
More Gold Foil luck exhibited by Raven, until @bacon-dub comes in to show off his Gold Foil EPIC! π±π€―π How on earth are you guys doing this?
Raven wasn't about to be beaten though, and out popped the BEST Male Wrestler and legendary card in the game- at least according to @wrestorgonline AKA Bookerman! π
@thebeardflex joins in the pack opening now and shows us his first pack Gold Foil π±π€―π.
Well, now I know where all my Golds and Legendries went to π€£.
πAll Good Things Must Come to an Endπ
Well, I've had a new found appreciation for any organiser working on coordinating a pool after today. It was actually quite hectic and rather stressful. It was a good experience for me but I'll never ever attempt those mega pools involving hundreds of people. π€£
All in all, it was quite fun buying and opening packs together this way inside our PIZZA Discord. I definitely wouldn't mind doing this again (opening the packs π - NOT organising a pool).
That's it for this episode of my PIZZA news. These are momentous times in PIZZA with a lot of plans forthcoming this year. In fact, I'd say that work on PIZZA is going at a breakneck pace! So don't miss out and come join PIZZA early to reap the benefits. I truly believe this is a multi-bagger project with amazing potential! πππ
