So I am running the big show on September 4th, 1983 and if anyone wants to send talent or even specific matches from their promotion let me know here. Already signed for the show so far NWA World Heavyweight Title: Harley Race © vs. To be Announced by GCW United States vs. Canada Special Offer Match: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Rick Martel National Heavyweight Title: Jake "The Snake" Roberts © vs. "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer Missouri Heavyweight Title: Nick Bockwinkel © vs. Mike Rotundo National Tag Titles: The Shadow Riders ("Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & Johnny Mantell) © vs. "Hacksaw" Butch Reed & Koko Ware Southeastern Heavyweight Title: "Dirty…

Just wanted to start a thread for mini booking. I know they are booked out by the freelancer of the month, but for other thoughts let's put them here. NWA World Champion is Little Tokyo. He is the Ric Flair of the division, cheating to retain his title all over the place. Great worker too. Other heels: Tiny Tom Butch Cassidy Lone Eagle Lord Littlebrook Sonny Boy Hayes Sky Low Low Little Brutus Faces: Cowboy Lang Little Coco The Haiti Kid Tiger Jackson Chilli Bowl Little Beaver No title changes unless authorized by Jack Tunney. We try to treat them with respect, so let's not only use them for comic relief. Comic relief is acceptable of course, but com…

Going to get this started so there's no rush. I'm going to say a 48 hour limit before we skip anyone to start, but that'll become less if this goes into the next week or two. Rules - 1) Draft goes in order. You have the option of passing or picking. If you pick, you move to the back of the line. If you pass, you keep your spot for next month. So, don't pick if you have your eyes set on someone coming up in November. 2) If wrestlers remain after the first round finishes, the draft snakes back until all wrestlers are gone or all drafters pass. Any additional pick also sends the drafter to the end of the line for future months. TravJ - PASS RocketCrypt Beast - …

I know this may be odd, but I feel as though with the month coming up, it will be easier for me to have this page editable for all those who asked for talent. We already had some concerns with the previous post so here is the most updated list. Let me know who you'd like and I will make changes as needed.

It seems like things are slowing down and I feel like maybe a little more acknowledgement of what has been going right so far might help get things moving a little better. I thought it might be interesting to see what people were thinking about the different promotions, faces, heels, etc. so far. Here's a few of my lists. Promotions: 5. Memphis - I just stared watching a certain well-known Memphis collection and I can't believe how well TravJ has nailed the announcing and general feel of the promotion. 4. Mid-Atlantic - You've got a loaded roster, top-to-bottom good shows and Flair chasing the gold. I'm a big fan of a lot of what you've got going on there…

OK, summer is almost over and I already have my TV written for this current tour. The next tour date for All Japan is 8/26 and the next for New Japan is 8/19. With my free time, I tried to get ahead as much as possible but I need to focus on my classroom and preparing my curriculum for the upcoming school year. Would anyone object if I just posted the TV results for the rest of this tour so I have one less thing to worry about the next couple of weeks? I have the results for both feds already completed throughout the rest of the year. I have the TV written for this tour and the next tour but I don't want to worry about posting on time or getting behind.

Ok, I have the big tournament for the WWF International Tag Team Titles in November/December. Wahoo's Leg was kind enough to loan me the Moondogs. What two Moondogs are part of this team? Someone else was nice enough to loan me the Can-Ams. I was thinking Furnas and Lafon but they aren't both wrestling yet. I don't think we are talking Rick Martel & Tom Zenk. 1. Who was nice enough to loan me the Can-Ams? 2. Who are the Can-Ams?

I am looking for some teams to help fill out this round robin tournament. Outside of Maple Leaf Wrestling teams, we do have a team from NJPW, but the more the merrier. The tournament will go from November 4th to 22nd with Wed/Thu off. Finals will be 26th. Of course, we can work something out, because each team doesn't have to compete on each day, just maybe 3 days a week during that span. PM me if you want your team showcased in this prestigious tournament.
