So, with big changes coming to Japan in April, we are going to try something a little different in terms of talent exchanges. I'm going to list wrestlers who are available to travel to North America for a given three-month period (Jan-March, April-June, July-Sept, Oct - Nov). Any promoter can make an offer or ask for a loan of any wrestler on the list. I will have the option of accepting the offer, rejecting the offer, or making a counter-offer. The idea behind the three-month period is it will give us plenty of time to develop stories and feuds and so forth with the visiting wrestlers. If you just want a wrestler for a one-shot deal for a big show or somet…

I saw that there was some talk of realism in the promotions board. I wanted to say that I am on board with some of the "unrealistic" realism that we are doing. I know we have toyed with some three way and four way matches and some fun gimmicks which I think are good. I guess I would just encourage everyone to "use their best judgment" when it comes to realism. Now let me also say no one in any way is stretching the realism here... it is a game and we are having a lot of fun. I wanted to propose this thread as some ideas in relation to realism and see what others thought... For instance... I am REALLY wanting to hold a survivor series and royal rumble…

NWA Lutte Internationale promoter Frank Valois released this statement, earlier today. "We were made aware in the last few days that Dino Bravo has appeared on World Wrestling Federation programming while he was still under contract with NWA Lutte Internationale. In fact, Mr. Bravo still had contractual obligations that he refused to fulfill by no-showing TV tapings & live events in the last 7 days. Lutte Internationale and the National Wrestling Alliance did not authorize this Dino Bravo appearance on WWF programming. Therefore, Dino Bravo was under breach of his contract with Lutte Internationale. We also consider that Mr. Vincent K. McMahon has tampered with Mr…

This will be the thread in which to book dates for our freelancers in January Stan Hansen: Bruiser Brody: Abdullah the Butcher Mil Mascaras: Women: Minis:

Much like real life, Vince Jr is going to loan out Andre the Giant here and there for individuals. I won't ask for much if anything in return in order to book the Giant. I don't think we will need to talk specifics when booking Andre, as we all know he was a major attraction. If you do have dates coming up that you'd like to use him, simply put it down here and I will put it on the ledger. If I have specific dates for the WWF, I will mark them here or if he is schedule to go on a Japanese tour, I will post it. Let me know if you have any requests or questions. 1/2 - 1/6 - WWF 1/11 - 1/26 - New Japan

This is the list where you can book Japanese attractions for your territory. Make sure to respect the limitations LowBlowPodcast has set in terms of touring and booking restrictions. NEW JAPAN (October 1st to November 15th) Tatsumi Fujinami Seiji Sakaguchi Kengo Kimura Tiger Toguchi Keiichi Yamada - AWA (OCTOBER 1ST TO NOVEMBER 15TH) Naoki Sano Tatsutoshi Goto Masahiro Chono Keiji Mutoh Strong Machines #1 [Junji Hirata] & #2 [Yokpalsan] ALL JAPAN (October 1st to November 21st) Jumbo Tsuruta Gen'ichiro Tenryu Rusher Kimura - LUTTE INTERNATIONALE (OCTOBER 1ST TO NOVEMBER 21ST) Goro Tsurumi Takashi Ishikawa Mighty Inoue Masanobu Fuchi Yoshi…

So the great news is that 1985 is going to see the true return of All Japan and New Japan to the 1983 project as we head into the new year. Now before this, we have simply followed specific tour dates, not know what our talent is doing over there... the game has changed. Thunderlips has taken control of All Japan Gordi ha taken control of New Japan As Gordi brought up... with the promotions being run by real people... we can now possibly look at how the gaijin and touring talent. I am going to put it up for a vote... we have got WWF USWA MACW AWA Lutte CCW Memphis All Japan New Japan With 9 people... that will be a way for us to break up any ties. …

Okay here we go with the 1985 Fresh Face Draft As a reminder, none of the "New" or "Rookie" wrestlers can be used until January 1st. Andre, Funk, and the Women can still be utilized as freelance talent up until January 1st and then they go to their respective owners If the women do not get drafted, they will all be part of the freelancers but also be able to be picked up as free agents as long as we can keep track of who is where. I think this order is the last known, so we will work from here. Let me know if you have any questions. DRAFT ORDER USWA - Kevin WWF - LowBlow AWA - Rain MACW - AgentFenton Lutte - SirEdgar Continental - Steve Memphis…

November 16, 1984 National Wrestling Alliance Press Conference Montreal, Quebec, Canada David Crockett steps out to the podium in front of the press and the TV cameras. He welcomes everyone to this special occasion. He says we are here for a couple of important reasons. First, and foremost. He is here to officially announce that as of today November 16, 1984, Lutte Internationale is a proud member of the NWA. The growing relationship between Mid Atlantic, the largest and most successful member of the NWA up until today, and Lutte Internationale, a major international player, has bred this incredible working relationship.

Due to the ever expanding of the wrestling landscape in North American, major Puro promotions are looking to send talent over for extra exposure and training. In this thread you will be able to pick up talent for extended periods of time, the maximum being 3 months and the minimum of 1. Each wrestler will be available for an allotted amount of time and used as seen fit, although some wrestlers will have special conditions that you will have to adhere too, such as "can't lose on television" "can't be part of a tag team" etc. You will only be allowed to pick up one set of talent per tour (single or tag) so not to flood your territory. At all times you are able to reque…

Hey fellas, As we approach the new year, we need to address the Freelance Booking. From the onset of the project, freelancer booking was handled by an individual promoter for the month. I figured this would be a good time to address some revision to freelance booking. I think the program itself works well, this is just a way to get everyone on the same page along with figuring out who will be booking for the couple of months and who the freelance talent will be. First thing, who would like to having booking responsibilities? Rainmaker has got January but we have the rest of the months to fill. Please respond to this post if you'd like your name to be…
