Here's the list of 1991 rookies I was able to verify using https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Category:1991_debuts and https://ainsworthsports.com/pro_wrestling_athlete_rankings_by_rookie_year_1991.htm. Like last time, I cross-checked this list with Wikipedia, Cagematch, Wrestling Data, and various other biographical sources. In some cases, like the Dudleys, their biographies are insistent on their careers starting in 1991, although sources like Cagematch don't list their matches from that year. I assume they got their start in very small local promotions and records of those matches were hard to track down. I'm sure I missed a few, so feel free to add names once you ca…

We didn't have one of these - I have a fun couple of stories to push... so hopefully this works.

If you have any interest in this crazy hobby, please let me know. There are plenty of quality free agents and great territories left! We are getting set to begin our second year in existence and now would be a great time to jump in.

Hey, gang. We are just a couple of weeks from the 1990 Rookie Draft. We did it in early November last year, if it's OK I will set an arbitrary date this time out of November 1st. If that date doesn't work for anyone, let us know and we will see about shifting it. First up, I have set up the list of potential draftees. Huge amount of credit to Control21 and Last Stop for their very hard work in the initial lists on the other thread. Most of what I did was a compilation of the two lists, weeding out any Japanese or Mexican wrestlers and anyone who was already on somebody's current roster. If any of the promoters in the game notice anyone missing from this list, please let m…

A little while back, I worked on a list of rookies for 1990. I used a combination of The Top Ranked Pro Wrestlers by Rookie Year-1990 (ainsworthsports.com) and Category:1990 debuts | Pro Wrestling | Fandom and cross-checked a good chunk of the names with Cagematch, Wikipedia, Wrestling Data, etc. I used the rules listed elsewhere to filter out names that wouldn't qualify like Great Sasuke and other Japan/Mexico wrestlers that didn't work dates in US/Canada. I also didn't include anyone who didn't have much information on them. This is the list I came up with, it's by no means exhaustive and I probably missed a few. Some might already be in the game and I didn't catch them…

Here is an early list of rookies for 1989. I admit that we are getting out of my comfort zone by 1989 and I need some help. Some of these wrestlers might be already in our game but under different names. Wrestlers who debuted in the United States or Canada in 189 are available for the draft. If you know of anyone who should be in, let us know. 89 Rookies List Ahmed Johnson Al Green Amy Lee Big Titan Rick Bogner Bill Francis Billy Gunn Bobby Walker Booker T Brett Como Brickhouse Baker Bryan Clarke CW Bergstrom Charles Wright Chief Lightfoot Chris Walker Dan Cooley David Young Denise Storm Don Allen Dr. Luthor Dwayne Bruce El Gigant…

Here is a way-to-early list of rookies for 1988. I admit that we are getting out of my comfort zone by 1988 and I need some help. Some of these wrestlers might be already in our game but under different names. Also, wrestlers coming from other countries and wrestling 10 matches in either the U.S. or Canada will be part of this rookie class. If you know of anyone who should be in, let us know. 1988 ROOKIES Al Farat Bert Centeno Bobby Starr Chaz Taylor Chuck Williams (Rockin Rebel) DC Drake Dave Power Dennis Allen Johnny Weiss (Johnny Hotbody) Larry Power Mike Samson Mongolian Mauler Ricky Ri…

This is a far too early list of rookies in 1987. It might be interesting to hold a 2 round international draft + our North American draft next year. We can discuss this at a later date. As always, this list will be ever changing. I admit that in terms of wrestling history, we are getting out of my comfort zone. If you have any other rookies to add, please let me know. 1987 ROOKIE LIST Art Barr Balls Mahoney Bob Cook Carl Ouellet Curtis Hughes CW Bergstom Drew McDonald Earthquake Eddie Guererro Glacier Great Malumba (To retire after 1988) Jerry Sags Joey Mags John Paul Johnny Gr…

NEXT SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT ORDER : THIS IS NOT THE ODER FOR THE 1986 DRAFT.... 1. Spaldoni 2. Kevin 3. Rain 4. Scarlett 5. Wahoo 6. Den 7. Gene 8. Darkny 9. Blehschmidt

Kevin and I were discussing the free agents list, and the fact that it is full of a ton of guys that have never been used, and most likely aren't going to get used. I went through and picked out the names that struck me as people who could probably safely be removed, so that we all don't have to be annoyed reading them over and over again when we go looking at the free agents list. (I left people who are going to be retiring next month alone, since they will be gone soon enough anyway) However, we wanted to throw the list out, so that if anyone has an issue with someone being removed, you can speak now, and they won't be removed. Here is what I came up with..... …

The draft is now open. 1. Roster will now be capped at 55. 2. Retired Wrestlers will be retired on Jan 1, 1985. The list is at the beginning of this thread. Please check your roster and plan accordingly. Retired wrestlers can be used as managers, announcers, referees, territory officials or one show wrestlers. If they are managers they need to use a roster space. 3. The draft will be a snake draft. The order was determined by a number randomizer. 4. The draft order for the next draft WILL NOT BE DETERMINED by when you drop out of this draft. The draft order will also be determined by a number randominzer. 5. Draft picks can be tr…
