Armchair Booking

So I've decided I want to try something, with using the game King of Colosseum 2, I thought i'd be great to make an E-Fed with all of the promotions and companies involved. Realised there was enough to do a Multiplayer deal, with having 4 other users taking control of one of the promotions and do the booking for it. And I shall record and put the shows/matches on Youtube for all to watch. Sounds like a solid idea?

The Setup After falling out with Vince McMahon Jr about the direction he wants to take the product, Bruno Sammartino stormed out of the WWF taking with him his son, David, The Grand Wizard, Frank Williams, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Gary Michael Capetta, and Dominic Denucci back to Pittsburgh. There in Denucci's gym, Sammartino hatched a plan to conquer the North East with a brand new promotion. He sought out Pedro Martinez and Johnny Powers to buy the right to the old National Wrestling Federation (NWF) name. He used his connections with Frank Sinatra to pitch his idea for a new wrestling promotion to the Walt Disney Company who were seeking programming to fill sp…

Just decided to inject a bit of life in this part of the fantasy section so in parallel to what I do with the Dawn of War project, I'll do my own thing here with this made-up promotion called IWR. I picked the roster at random (Thank you, random.org and profightdb. com lol). Roster goes like this: Koji Kanemoto (IWR Spirit Champion) Masahiro Chono Hitoshi Kumano Johnny Gargano (IWR Tag Team Champion) Anthony McMurphy Prince Devitt Candice LeRae (IWR Tag Team Champion) Jimmy Snuka Robert Thompson El Sancho Kamala 2 Joe Gacy Davey Richards Chris Sabin El NOZAWA Mendoza Buck Quartermaine Ada…

This was discussed in 2018, but never happened. I figure new year, new thread? -SirEdgar -superkix -Grimmas all have shown interest before, but would anybody be on board? We were thinking of using current talent to do booking whether with current promotions or draft out to different promotions. We could do territory days or 90s or a mix where we each draft our promotion and they could be any from whatever time period. Anybody on board?

Are you in Project19 and you want to sign a free agent? Well this is the place for you. Below is the list of the current Wavier Wire list. The way this works is you are allowed to claim one person per 24 hours. If you make that claim, the wrestler is yours after 24 hours unless someone higher up on the waiver wire makes a claim. After successfully making a claim you move to the bottom of the list.

Following the unprecedented 2019 draft, Ted Turner's newly revived wrestling company has announced its event schedule going forward. WCW Monday Nitro will air on the twenty-first of January on TNT and run weekly action-packed events going forward, WCW Saturday Night will air on the nineteenth and a major PPV-style event will run on the last Sunday of each month. These events will air either on TBS under the 'Clash of the Champions' banner (also streaming live on WCW's soon-to-launch subscription service) or as internet exclusive branded supercards. The company will tour Europe in May, culminating in the Slamboree event, but will otherwise focus on reestablishing its …

As you probably noticed, I already decided to scrap my NWA EoE diary because logistically, I just figured it was getting complicated to do everything that I wanted. So I had another idea in mind. Ever since I purchased TEW 2016, I don't count how many mods I've tried (and still currently play). I was a bit apprehensive at first, considering how much micromanagement it takes compared to EWR but after trying TEW 2005, I decided to jump on TEW 2016 and never regretted it. While I play many promotions and territories, I decided to start one where I'll just let everything play out by the AI. Let's just think about it as a parallel universe to what we're currently experien…

The Dawn of War It appears that Vince McMahon’s road to controlling the wrestling industry has some real competition and it is coming from Verne Gagne and the American Wrestling Association. It all started with a phone call between Jerry Jarrett and Verne following the NWA quarterly meeting in March of 1983. Jerry informed Verne that Vince was threatening once again to break away and start his own national promotion and everyone in the room knew had the money to do it. Jarrett’s other concern and the real reason he called Gagne was that he felt that the NWA would never break away from their territory system as each owner was too pigheaded to see th…

As some of you know, I'm currently having a blast with the 1983 Project as we're having tons of fun with the stuff we're doing. But I was curious to know if some people here would be interested - and believe it'd be feasible - to add a 2018 Project to the Armchair Booking section. Of course, we could modify the rules and guidelines to reflect the current state of wrestling today but I'm just kicking rocks to gauge people's interest.

So a while back a couple of friends and I started a 1993 booking project. I was the arbitrator of the project, with them representing WCW and WWF, but I decided to join in as head booker of ECW. We did a talent draft to start with, with me entering in something like the 20th round. I thought I'd share what I wrote up here. Now, there are a couple of cheats with the timeline, mainly because I didn't really follow ECW. Most obviously, ECW didn't become 'Extreme' until 1994, I believe. I also have Joey Styles as my head announcer from the start, and I know he didn't come on board until later. I picked up a couple of names in the draft that probably stretch credibilit…

Southern States Wrestling During his career, Gordon Solie worked for Championship Wrestling from Florida, Georgia Championship Wrestling and Continental Championship Wrestling and a few other companies. The idea here is to run a 3 territory project focusing on Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The project will start with a draft with wrestlers being given contracts of various lengths depending on the amount of time they spent in any of those three territories in 1982. This will keep it somewhat historically correct and once you see the list of wrestlers, you will see that most are familiar to all 3 fan bases which makes the draft fun. The reason for 1982 is not t…

Monday Night Raw - 5/7/18 The show opens with Triple H in the ring, along with a large object covered with a cloth. Triple H: As you all know, several weeks ago we were all saddened to learn of the passing of WWE Hall of Famer, Bruno Sammartino. Bruno’s legacy goes well beyond what he did in this industry; the record title reigns, the Madison Square Garden sell-outs, and the way he carried himself as a hero to generations of fans. Bruno was also a champion in life. An inspiration to all who met him, a wonderfully giving man who always had time to help others, and a beloved member of our WWE family, as well as a close personal friend of mine. For everything that I …

Since I finally have been able to keep a podcast going regularly (check out Who Booked This? on the PWO Podcast Network), I think it's time to get back into some armchair booking. What better place to start then WCW in 2000? Souled Out 2000 is a few days away and it's now come out that WCW World Champion Bret Hart is injured and may have to retire, and WCW United States Champion Jeff Jarrett is injured and can not compete. The main event and semi-main event are now cancelled. Head booker, Vince Russo's plan to fix this is to give the title to Tank Abbott. He is fired on the spot. This is when Steven Graham comes in to take over the head booking position, w…

I decided to do my own fantasy promotion. I was influenced by Bierschwale's AIW thread in that I thought I'd start a promotion that's centered around Chicago, in 1991 right after AWA goes out of business. I completed all of June of 1991 and still kind of ironing out the details. Mostly trying to use mostly indie and luchadores but also take some wrestlers from WWF and WCW that aren't being used very well. Shows: I was originally going to book the TV, house shows, major shows and whatnot but thought against that as it would take too much time. So I'm mainly just writing the TV and major events. I thought it would be interesting to have a TV product that's a bit mo…
