The Dawn of WAR The year is 1995 and there are two superpowers of professional wrestling in North America. The WWF and WCW are about to go head to head on Monday Nights when WCW decides to throw a big counterpunch and debut Monday Nitro on September the 4th. We take you to that time in which these two heavyweights are throwing body blows to wear the other out… however there is now a third fighter in the mix… ECW. Paul Heyman and Todd Gordon have really built a following with a group of wrestlers who are turning heads with powerful stories, powerful wrestling, and even more powerful risks every time they step into the ring. With this power, ECW has thrust itself into…

I've been a big fan of fantasy booking and I have tried to get back into it, but I am unmotivated without the team project that was the 1983 game. I could join up on the '83 game, but it has become something that is of no interest to me. I'm glad people are into it, but the original idea was unsustainable. Due to time period, mostly. What am I proposing? A similar project to the 1983 project, but set in a year between 1996 to 2000. That way you only need three players that have to do weekly tv and a monthly major show in WWF, WCW, and ECW. The rest of the players can have small indies that either do weekly TV or a show once a month. That way there can be more …

There is a number of options if you want to join up for this game. From smaller indies who run monthly in the USA to bigger promotions in Japan in every style. Post here if you have interest in joining.

Faced with the need to promote a card with no TV and little ad budget, the MTW team struck upon an idea - a self printed and distributed program of sorts, featuring profiles of their competitors. Leading up to the card, we will share these stories. First, we have a man who's been everywhere - Barry Darsow. A SMASHING CAREER Barry Darsow looks for one more shot It’s 4:45 AM, and the alarm clock beeps once before Barry Darsow’s large paws slap it quiet. “I’ve gotten pretty good at waking up before the alarm so that I can grab it before anyone else hears it,” he explains. Darsow ambles to the kitchen, where he preps himself a protein-packed breakfast and chu…

So, my whole life has just been turned upside down, in the most awesome way possible. The last three days have been non-stop meetings between Wally, Sasuke, and... Giant Baba!! (And two extremely rich older guys from Tokyo). I was able to sit in on most of it, along with Gado and Jedo, and as far as I can tell, this is what is going down: Baba has been through a recent health scare. He is thinking about his future and wants to secure his legacy. He wants his wife, Motoko, to take over as owner after he's gone, but he's kind of worried that her stubborn adherence to tradition might drive some of the younger guys to leave and start their own promotion. App…

The following advertisement is set to air regularly on Turner owned networks and, with less frequency, on a select number of other large networks, during the last week of August: Ed Weigle's voice booms out the instructions, as they appear (big, all caps, white letters stamped on a black background): "This Saturday! World Championship Wrestling! Live and in colour, only on TBS!" The text is, then, replaced by rapid-fire shots of various big names (Sting, Flair, the Giant, Arn & Pillman, Davey Boy) snapping their heads to attention. The next shot is of Bret Hart, standing in the middle of a ring, the arena he's in is pitch black, the only spotlight is over hi…

Hi, I'm way to busy to run this thing. That's why the FMW show is not out, I feel bad posting a show and ignoring other things. Anybody want to take lead on this thing?

Gonna start by reposting my post in the hype thread because it really works better as a starting off point here... Before I dive in, I wanted to say I plan on covering my UWFi via Dave Meltzer style coverage of press conferences, card announcements/previews/reviews etc. So expect lots of snark, grammar errors and run on sentences like Dave. Anyway, moving on to Dave's coverage of UWFi's first press release....

August 24, 1995 It's been three months since Shoice Arai took over as president of FMW. With that move and with the retirement of Atsushi Onita, FMW has started to lose it's edge. It's hard to believe that on May 5th, FMW ran it's largest show in front of 58,250 fans at Kawasaki Stadium. The new generation of FMW took over on the next tour, led by stars like Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka and The Gladiator. To make matters worse, the FMW World Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship is vacant. After Onita retired, the title was vacated, but since then Hayabusa became champion. However, he was forced to vacate the title on June 27th, the same night he won it. Here we are, tw…

I like the idea of an expansion draft.. maybe we have to expose 4 folks off our roster and a new promotion can pick one from each roster and then make the rest of their roster up from Free Agency. Just remember we can't expose wrestlers that can't work in that area. So if the new promotion is Stampede in Canada, the four people you expose can't be all Japanese exclusive folks. Free Agency is the other option, but not as fun.

I arrived in Morioka City two days ago. Finally got my internet today, so I can start writing again. It took 2.5 hours to get here from Tokyo on the bullet train. Get this: The Tokyo to Morioka shinkansen is called the "Hayabusa" How awesome is that? I'm gonna miss all the pro wrestling in Tokyo, but apparently the local promotion here is pretty good. You remember the '94 Super J Cup, right? The one Benoit won? Do you remember how great that was? Well, a whole bunch of the guys from that show work up here now. El Samurai, Gedo, Delfin, TAKA... and The Great Sasuke is the owner of the promotion! Rumour is he might even be bringing Ohtani up here, too. So, I mean, it's …
