1995 Project

(OOC: Throw in all your silly BS stuff about your promotion and others. Even throw in some real stuff if you want too. Or comment like it's 1995 and you're an idiot on the Internet!) WRESTLENEWZ.COM BYTES & BITS FOR SEPTEMBER 10th, 1995 - Rumors are that even more WWF stars are heading out the door as the RL Clique wraps itself even further around Vinny Mac with all of the Harts gone! - WCW may invade Canada, now that they've got wrestlers that people in Canada care about! - Over in Japan, Hulk Hogan is already up to his old tricks, complaining about the idea of jobbing to The Great Muta - Owen Hart & Shane Douglas almost got into the fight at the …

NJPW may be open (although a deal may be in place for it). USWA is open. Plus AJW women. A variety of indies can be opened up at any time. If you want to join, there is lots of room.

So yeah, Derek is way too busy and can't book AJPW. If somebody wants to take over AJPW, then they are very free to do so. If they don't, I have no problem with a dispersal draft and UWFi and maybe FMW (maybe) moving up a tier to fill the void. Somebody want to take them over, we'll give it some time, if not we will go to plan B.

We have some news from the new Revolution Pro Wrestling promotion that will be opening in Los Angeles, California with their first show at the Los Angeles Convention Center on September 11th. This news comes from Ian Rotten, the promotion's owner and former ECW star, who called into a local radio station. He claimed he left ECW because Paul Heyman was a cheap piece of shit who wasn't giving him his proper money. That was not the only problem, as he was pissed at ECW abandoning the hardcore revolution to bring in luchadores and technical wrestlers. "Those folks are fine in moderation, but where are the barbed-wire matches? Where is the blood and guts. ECW is quickl…

August 24th, 1995 It was a very exciting day for staff members of NJPW as Antonio Inoki announced the September 2nd card in Osaka, Japan, which will mark the return of Hulk Hogan to New Japan Pro Wrestling. We already know that Hogan has been entered in the G1 Climax tournament and that he'll be part of Block B. In Osaka on September 2, fans will have a little preview of the G1 Climax as Hogan will take on Yuji Nagata, also part of Block B, in the main event of the show. Both Hogan and Nagata were present at the press conference and Hogan didn't lie that despite all his experience, he felt a bit nervous for his NJPW return. "Yeah, man, if I told anyone that I wasn…

The situation is dire! USWA, the once proud wrestling promotion is dying. The Monday Night Wars between the WWF and WCW have taken the life out of the Memphis wrestling scene. The day that was once owned by the Mid-South Coliseum now has two mega-companies giving pay per view quality like shows away for free on cable. The attendance at the weekly show in the Coliseum has dwindled from a once staggering number of almost 10,000 a week to barely 600 or 700 hundred. The situation is so bad that the UWA superstar, Jerry “The King” Lawler has signed on with the WWF to be a part time wrestler/announcer on their MONDAY show. How can the USWA survive the Monday night wars wit…

So yeah.. brought up in the free agency thread. Any thoughts on this.. I am all for sticking with major injuries, deaths and retirements as in real life.

We will have individual threads for each company to post their shows, feedback, etc... However, here is a thread where you can hype upcoming events for your promotion to try to get people to read your shows.

Rules - The Initial Draft Here is my ideas for rules. I am completely up for modifying and improving them, but this can set a basis. Start Date: September 1, 1995 (September 1, 2016) Following the 1995 calendar, but post on the 2016 calendar. Pre-Draft: 1) You keep the owner and the announcers and other equivalent staff. 2) You get to keep three pieces of talent from the 1995 roster (4 pieces of talent for Tier A promotions). Tiers: 1) Promotions will be treated in blocks, by tiers Tier A: WWF, WCW, AJPW, NJPW Tier B: ECW, FMW, UWFi Tier C: SMW, USWA, M-Pro, Tier D: ECWA, RevPro The Draft: 1) Round …

I figured would could go here for any talk on the draft. Love the tiered system and love the tiered draft availability. New Japan has some serious options there at number one... Could Hogan return to New Japan? Could they steal Hansen from All Japan? Could he go after some highly sought after Japanese talent? How about WWF? Who will they look to pick up from the scraps from WCW? Will Savage return to the WWF like he was always rumored to do? Could Steve Austin make that immediate jump before the time is right? How about All Japan? With its rich history of Gaijin workers, how will the cap let them fare? Do they go straight for the Americans or do they try t…

Here we are! Rules to keep in mind: 1) You only draft 5 talent that was not born in the country of the promotion you control. 2) Roster Size (Includes anyone draft-able ie managers) Tier A: 22-44 Tier B: 18-28 Tier C: 16-26 Tier D: 14-24 3) Once a pick is made, the person on the clock has 10 hours to pick. if they miss their 10 hours then the next person can pick and the person who missed their pick can insert their pick ASAP.. 4) If you pick a tag team you forfeit your next pick. Although, feel free to pick only one member of a tag team. Here is the drafting order: R1 1 NJPW: Hulk Hogan 2 WWF: Steve Austin 3 AJPW: Jun Akiyama 4 WCW: Bret Hart R…

The previous booker of the WWF in this game is not going to be involved in it anymore. Which means the WWF has nobody in control. This complicates matters. If anybody wants to abandon their US promotion to move up to the WWF, they can. Otherwise I can keep WWF afloat until somebody comes along to control them. The Booker T and Vampiro picks are voided and will be redone by myself or until somebody takes over.
