Taped at The Junction in San Antonio, TX on 10/10 Southwest Championship Wrestling airing on Saturday 10/15 in local markets -Show intro- Steve Stack: Welcome to another edition of Southwest Championship Wrestling, the most exciting hour in professional wrestling! We have some great action in store today with David Von Erich defending the Southwest Television Title against Roy Lee Welch, Ken Lucas taking on Yoshi Seito and more but first we have some big news in the wrestling world. Many of you fans may have heard of the merger between Georgia Championship Wrestling and Southeastern Championship Wrestling which in itself is a big surprise. But even more surprising to the fans here in San Antonio is that The Texas Dynasty made a shocking debut on the first episode of Southeastern Championship Wrestling on WTBS and attacked Bob and Brad Armstrong and took their place in a scheduled National Tag Team Title match. They were victorious in that match and defeated the National Tag Team Champions Butch Reed and Koko Ware and now The Texas Dynasty have added even more gold to their collection as they are now the reigning Southwest Tag Team Champions, the National Tag Team Champions and Tully is the holder of the Southwest Heavyweight Title while David holds the Television Title. In other big new, on last Sunday night's card at the HemisFair Arena we saw Alberto Madril make a surprise appearance in San Antonio and attack El Gran Apollo to help his old friend Jose Lothario gain the victory over El Gran Apollo by knocking out Apollo with brass knuckles. After the match we also saw Mr. Mexico and Jose Lothario handcuff Mil Mascaras to the ring post and whip him with referee Jack Howe's belt and I can tell you that Mil Mascaras is as fired up and angry as I have ever seen him after that incident. We'll be talking to Mil Mascaras later in the hour but right now I want to bring out the man who scored the pinfall in the Dream Match 8 man tag team main event, Stan Lane and his partner Steve Keirn! -The Fabulous Ones come into the interview area Steve Stack: Stan congratulations on scoring the pinfall on Yoshi Seito in that 8 man tag match, now you have the chance to pick any match that you want as the main event of this Sunday night's main event. Have you decided on what that match will be? Stan Lane: We already said last week we knew exactly what we wanted. We want The Texas Dynasty in a Texas Tornado Street Fight, with all four of us in the ring, or at ringside or even in the crowd fighting it out until there someone can't go anymore and is pinned. And we also want it stipulated that ANYONE who interferes in this match whether it be Mr. Saito, Yoshi Seito, Sunshine, whoever will be barred FOR LIFE from Southwest Championship Wrestling! Steve Keirn: We know those two would love to hide behind their woman like usual or their bodyguard but that isn't going to happen this time. But we did make one change to the match from last week. Now that Tully & David are sporting some new hardware, we want that too. So now this match is not only going to be for the Southwest Tag Team Titles, it's going to be for the National Tag Team Titles as well! And before we go, we just want to say that maybe we owe an apology to some of our friends who weren't exactly friendly to over the last few weeks. So Jim Duggan, Ken Lucas, Eddie Gilbert we're sorry. We were in a real bad mood over the last two weeks but we're nothing but smiles now because we know next week here on TV it's going to be US with two belts on each shoulder, not The Texas Dynasty! Steve Stack: Well fans you just heard it from The Fabulous Ones, this week's main event at The HemisFair Arena is going to be a Texas Tornado Street Fight with both the Southwest Tag Team Titles and the National Tag Team Titles on the line! Don't go away because when we come back we'll hear from The Texas Dynasty and their thoughts about that monumental match signed for this Sunday night! -First commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back - Tully Blanchard: Shut it Steve Stack! Everyone knows who we are, we don't need an introduction! We are without a doubt the greatest tag team in the world, the Southwest Tag Team Champions, the National Tag Team Champions and if the Wild Bills would ever stop avoiding us, we would be the World Tag Team Champions also! Who are The Fabulous Ones to come out here and call the shots? Who are they to make their own matches? We're the champs! We should decide who we wrestle and how we wrestle them! Steve Stack: But Tully this was all your idea, you're the one who came up with the 8 man tag Dream Match with the stipulation that the winner would be able to make any match they wanted. Tully Blanchard: Didn't I tell you to shut it!? I don't need a reminder of what I did! It doesn't matter anyway, because The Fabulous Ones aren't going to be taking anything away from us! The Texas Dynasty is only getting bigger, we're only adding gold to our collection, nothing will be taken away from us, no one will beat us and especially not those two chumps who we've beaten more times than I can remember! Steve Stack: Well at the risk of getting you even more upset, I was told that Stanley Blackburn is not very pleased at how long it has been since you've defended that Southwest Heavyweight Title. I heard that he is planning to have you defend that belt right here on television next week. Tully Blanchard: I'm not going to do it! I already said last time that no one should get to see me wrestle for free, I'm the Southwest Heavyweight Champion and people should pay money, a lot of money, to see me get in the ring! Who is supposed to wrestle me anyway? There isn't anyone in Southwest Championship Wrestling who has earned a shot at this title! Steve Stack: Well I don't have the answer to that question Tully, let me just move on and ask David about his TV Title match today. David, you're going to be facing a very tough competitor today, a man who has impressed a lot of people since coming here to Texas, Roy Lee Welch. What are your thoughts about him and your match today? David Von Erich: What are my thoughts on Roy Lee Welch? I think when your whole family wants you out of the wrestling business because they're ashamed to be associated with you that you have to be one of the most embarrassing excuses for a wrestler that there has ever been! I know no one in my family would ever hire a bounty hunter to come here and injure me but Roy Lee Welch has someone here looking to collect $10,000 of his own cousin's money to put him out of the wrestling business. Well I might just do Bill Ash's job for him today and maybe I'LL be the one who gets $10,000 richer. Steve Stack: Let me just ask you one more - Sunshine: We're done here Steve Stack. I can see you're about to start drooling on that microphone with the way you're staring at me so we're gonna get out of here before we get electrocuted standing too close to you. -The Texas Dynasty & Sunshine leave the interview area Steve Stack: Well that was The Texas Dynasty and Sunshine everyone, now let's head down to the ring for our first match of the day with The Canadian in action against Larry Hamilton! The Canadian starts arguing with Jack Howe and shoves him down again and suddenly Hamilton comes flying back into the ring and leg dives The Canadian and starts raining punches down on him! The two men engage in a wild brawl until members of the locker room like Art Crews, Timothy Flowers, Bruiser Costa, Terry Adonis, Mike Fever, Jimmy Doo, The Masked Wildfire, Yin and Yang run out to separate them and end the brawl. Steve Stack: Well that certainly escalated very quickly! I have a feeling we'll be seeing those two in action again very soon, possibly even this Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena! Ladies and gentleman we have to take but when we come back we'll talk to Mil Mascaras and El Gran Apollo about what happened last Sunday night and their upcoming six man tag team match this week at The HemisFair Arena, don't go away! -Second commercial break- Steve Stack:Welcome back to Southwest Championship Wrestling! I have with me now the three men who will be teaming up this Sunday night in a 6 man tag team match to take on the team of Jose Lothario, Mr. Mexico and Al Madril. I already told the fans at the top of the hour how Al Madril made a surprise appearance and attacked El Gran Apollo to cost him his match against Jose Lothario, but Mil why don't you tell the fans how Omar Atlas got involved in this situation? Mil Mascaras: Well everyone knows a month ago Jose and Mr. Mexico injured Omar Atlas with their Spike Piledriver but now he's healed completely from the stinger that they gave him and he's ready to come back to action. He was in the locker room last Sunday night to show his medical release to the promoters and try and get a match signed against Jose or Mr. Mexico to get some revenge. And thank God he was there because he saved me from taking even more of a beating at the hands of Jose Lothario and Mr. Mexico. Let me show you people what I'm talking about. -Mil turns his back to the cameras and the cuts from the leather belt are still evident on his back from where he was whipped Mil Mascaras: This is the most humiliating thing that anyone has ever done to me in my career and I can promise you that Jose and Mr. Mexico are going to pay and they are going to pay severely! I am not looking to wrestle them this Sunday, I am looking to fight, I am looking to make them bleed and if Al Madril gets in my way he's going to get the same thing! Steve Stack: It was certainly a disgusting attack, to handcuff you to the ring post and beat you with a belt like that, just totally uncalled for. Now Apollo I know you have to be disappointed in the way things played out Sunday night, you waited a long time to get your match with Jose Lothario and for it to end the way it did I know you can't be happy. Apollo: Of course I not happy Steve. But this fight is no over. This Sunday have another chance to fight and so it is what I do. And Al Madril I made you pay too for what you did. Steve Stack: Before I let you all go, Omar let me just say how happy I am that you're back and that you didn't suffer a more serious injury from that Spike Piledriver. Omar Atlas: I'm happy to be back too Steve because now I have my chance to make Jose pay and to make Mr. Mexico pay. I want to take that mask off his face and show all the world he is not what he says, he is not a Mexican he is only a fraud. Maybe this Sunday night I can do it. Thank you Steve Stack. -Mil, Apollo & Omar Atlas leave the interview area and Roy Lee Welch comes in Steve Stack: Now let me bring in the man who will face David Von Erich in today's main event, Roy Lee Welch. Roy, last week we saw Tony Torres wrestle Bill Ash who would have most likely broken his leg with the Fuller Leglock the way he did Josh Stroud if you hadn't run in and stopped him. And then last Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena we saw Tony Torres return the favor when he stopped Bill Ash from breaking your leg in the same hold. Now I've heard you two have been training together, do you plan on becoming a tag team? Roy Lee Welch: Well right now I'm pretty busy in my battle with Bill Ash but it's certainly a possibility down the road, once I've seen Ash back to Alabama with his leg in a cast that very well might happen. But I felt a lot of guilt over what happened to Josh Stroud two weeks ago and I vowed that Bill Ash wasn't going to break anyone else's leg with my family's hold. So when I saw he was getting ready to try it again last week I had to come down and stop him and luckily Tony returned the favor last Sunday night. This young man is only really starting out in his career as a professional wrestler and Steve I think you know how hard it can be in your first few years in this sport. You take a lot of beatings, you don't win too many matches but that's part of the learning process that we all go through. So I'm trying to help guide this young man through that difficult period because I think he has a lot of promise and a lot of heart and I'd like to see him succeed and become a champion one day. He's asked me to partner up with him in a tag team like you mentioned but I can't do that just yet so I've asked my friend Mike Jackson to team up with Tony and they'll be making their debut as a tag team this Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena against a tough team in Bruiser Costa and Terry Adonis. Steve Stack: That's a very admirable Roy. This Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena you'll be taking on Bill Ash once again. You two have been battling for a few weeks now, when do you think this feud between you two is going to end? Roy Lee Welch: It's not going to end until one of us has a broken leg, that I'm sure of. And of course I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it's not me. I know Bill Ash isn't worried about beating me in a match, he just wants to collect his money so that's the same mindset I'm going to have. I'm only going out there to hurt him, not win a match. Steve Stack: Roy you've got a TV Title match in the main event of today's program, with all the things that are going on with you and Bill Ash, do you feel you're adequately prepared, adequately focused on this big match? Roy Lee Welch: I'm not a newcomer to this sport, I've been wrestling for many years now and I know part of being a professional wrestler is being ready for any opponent at any time. I watch every match here on TV and every match that I can while I'm at the arenas so I've seen a lot of David Von Erich and yes, I do feel I'm ready for this match. I'd love to win that TV Title and rub it some of my family's face that they were wrong about me and that I could come to Texas and become a champion. Steve Stack: Well Roy good luck in your match today and this Sunday night against Bill Ash. We've got to take another time out but you won't want to touch that dial because we have a ton of great action still in store including that TV Title match and also Ken Lucas taking on Yoshi Seito! -Third commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and with me now are two men who will be teaming up this Sunday night to take on the team of Mr. Saito and Yoshi Seito. It seemed like there was some tension last week with you two and The Fabulous Ones all vying for the win in that 8 man tag Dream Match, is that all water under the bridge now? Ken Lucas: I think so Steve Stack, you know this sport is very competitive and even sometimes when you've friends with someone and teaming up with them you still want to be the one who gets the win yourself. I know I wanted to win so I could get that Stretcher match with David Von Erich and Jim wanted to win so he could get a Cage match with Tully Blanchard, but that's not how things played out. But we're happy for The Fabs and we're going to be rooting them on this Sunday night to take a whole lot of gold away from The Texas Dynasty. Steve Stack: What's caused you two to decide to team up together to take on Mr. Saito and Yoshi Seito? Jim Duggan: Well I know from experience now that there is no way I'll wrestle one of them without the other one there and since I want to beat up both of them anyway I thought it just made good sense to find me a partner to wrestle them in a tag team match. Since Kenny's usual partner Eddie Gilbert is still not cleared to wrestle I thought he was the best person for me to ask and he said yes so this Sunday we're going to bust some heads together and maybe get rid of Tully's bodyguard Mr. Saito altogether. Steve Stack: I'm glad to see things have been patched up now between yourselves and The Fabulous Ones, let's not take any more time here at the interview area because Ken I'm sure you're ready to get down to the ring now and wrestle Yoshi Seito. Ken Lucas: You bet I am Steve Stack, I'm planning to put him to sleep to. -Ken Lucas heads down to the ring while Jim Duggan stays at the interview area and does commentary on the match alongside Steve Stack Steve Stack: That certainly got out of hand! I pity the referee who has to try and maintain control of their tag team match this Sunday night! Folks don't touch that dial because we still have today's main event of Roy Lee Welch vs. David Von Erich on the way and when we come back we'll be talking to Jose Lothario, Mr. Mexico and Alberto Madril! -Fourth commercial break- Steve Stack: Before I bring in Jose Lothario, Mr. Mexico and Al Madril I just wanted to speak briefly about some of the talk I've been hearing lately from the match makers of Southwest Championship Wrestling. There has been a big influx of talent lately, specifically in the tag team division and the feeling is that it's time for some new teams to start getting their chance to wrestle for the Southwest Tag Team Titles. Teams such as Yin & Yang, Bruiser Costa and Terry Adonis, Art Crews & Timothy Flowers, Mil Mascaras and El Gran Apollo have yet to receive a shot at the Southwest Tag Team Titles and other teams like Ken Lucas and Eddie Gilbert and Jose Lothario and Mr. Mexico have only had one chance in the months that they have been here. I've heard rumors lately that Stanley Blackburn is considering putting a moratorium on more matches between The Fabulous Ones and The Texas Dynasty until some of those teams I've mentioned have been given their opportunities. I'm sure we'll have more news on that front after this Sunday night's match between The Texas Dynasty and The Fabulous Ones but right now let me bring in the 3 men who will be taking on Mil Mascaras, El Gran Apollo and Omar Atlas in a big 6 man tag team match this Sunday night. -Jose Lothario, Mr. Mexico and Al Madril come in Mr. Mexico:It's about time Stanley Blackburn decided to stop giving The Fabulous Ones all the title shots! Jose Lothario and I should have been given a match with The Texas Dynasty weeks ago so we could prove that Mexicans are far better wrestlers than Texans! But that's not what we're out here to talk about today. Steve Stack: No, that's not what you're out here to talk about. First let me ask Al Madril why did you come to San Antonio to interfere in the match between Jose Lothario and El Gran Apollo? Al Madril: You make it sound like I did something nefarious Steve Stack. These people know me, they know I'm a hero, just like Jose and just like this man here Mr. Mexico. I was in the crowd to see Jose, a mentor of mine who has helped me tremendously in my career, take care of a piece of garbage from Cuba who needs to be sent back where he came from! And that piece of garbage though he was going to take out a pair of brass knuckles from his tights and defeat the great Jose Lothario like a low down dirty cheater. All I did was run into the ring and stop him from cheating, I would have never interfered if he didn't pull out those brack knuckles! Steve Stack: From what I recall it was Jose who brought those brass knuckles to the ring and pulled them out of his tights and not El Gran Apollo. Jose Lothario: Well you're recalling it wrong Steve Stack! But that's not a surprise since you've made your bias for El Gran Apollo and Mil Mascaras very clear. But it doesn't matter what you say because history will show that I defeated El Gran Apollo, I pinned him in the middle of the ring and proved that I am the better man just like I said all along. Steve Stack: Since I don't think we're going to find agreement on that issue, let me move along. Why did you take handcuff Mil Mascaras to the ring post and whip him with a belt after the match was over? Was that really necessary? Mr. Mexico: Of course it was necessary! You weren't the one hand cuffed to Mil Mascaras for 10 minutes listening to the vile things he had to say about Jose Lothario and myself. All I want to do is be the role model that the Spanish speaking people of Texas need and Mil Mascaras is anything BUT a role model let me tell you. After the match all I wanted to do is congratulate my friend and mentor Jose on his great victory and Mil Mascaras attacked me. Jose came to my aid and got the hand cuffs off of me and then when I told him what Mil Mascaras had been saying about him, he decided to teach him a lesson. It was all deserved just like this Sunday night when we Spike Piledrive Mil Mascaras, break his neck and pull that mask off of him, it will all be deserved and these people can all forget about their false idol and begin to show me the respect I deserve! Steve Stack: Well gentleman thank you for your time I think that's about all I can take right now. Jose Lothario: We're not finished yet Steve Stack because there is one surprise that you don't know about. That even El Gran Apollo and Mil Mascaras don't know about. We asked for the 6 man tag team match to have a very special stipulation. Whoever loses the fall for their team will be BARRED from Southwest Championship Wrestling! And once we Spike Piledrive Mil Mascaras and break his neck he'll be leaving wrestling that way, then we'll pin Omar Atlas and have him banned from Southwest and it'll be El Gran Apollo left all alone. And then the three of us are going to beat him down week after week and expose him to all these people as the nothing, the nobody that he really is. You people get ready to say goodbye to Mil Mascaras and Omar Atlas because they are BOTH going to be gone after this Sunday! -Jose, Mr. Mexico and Al Madril leave the interview area and Mike Masters comes in Steve Stack: Mike Masters last week you said if Tiny Anderson lost the match for you two against Yin and Yang then you would no longer help train him and now I see he's not out here with you. Are you no longer associating yourself with Tiny Anderson. Mike Masters: Of course not! I gave the many more chances than he ever deserved. I had a friend of mine, who you might just meet later on, observe what Tiny was doing in the gym while I was lifting weights and he was supposed to be doing cardio. I found out that the reason he was always sweaty when I went to find him is because he'd sit in the sauna and stuff his fat face with food while he was in there! I don't think the man ever spent one minute on the treadmill or the exercise bike the whole time I took him to the gym. So I'm finished with Tiny Anderson. He begged and begged me to take him back telling me he was going to get serious about training this time. So I gave him one last chance, in his mind because he has no chance. I told him if he can defeat me in a match this Sunday night I'll start training him again. But we all know there is no way he can beat me so all this match is going to be is my chance to take out my frustrations and pay him back for the months of my time that he wasted. I might just break his neck when I lock him in the Full Nelson and it'll be the last anyone ever heard of Tiny Anderson in the wrestling business. And that's all I have to say about it, I don't want to hear any of your questions. -Mike Masters walks out of the interview area and Moose Morowski comes in Moose Morowski: Last week I tried to get Lord Alfred to take me back but he wouldn't listen to me. If he doesn't want to be my manager then fine but my career is not over yet. I still have one last run in me and I don't want to be remembered as a failure. I don't want to have my last memory as a wrestler be of losing, being humiliated, having the fans boo me. I want one last chance to win over these people, to prove to them that I'm someone they can believe in, to prove that I'm still worthy of their respect. This Sunday night I have a match at The HemisFair Arena and I hope when I come out the people will keep an open mind about me and not judge me too harshly for my past. I promise if you people put your faith in me I won't let you down and I'll make you proud. Thank you. -Moose Morowski leaves and Lord Alfred Hayes comes in Lord Alfred: Did you just hear that Steven Stack? That was the most pitiful display I have ever seen in professional wrestling! That man is nothing without my managerial expertise and I'm quite confident that whoever his opponent is will dispatch him with great ease. Now on to more important matters. This Sunday night my man Bulldog Brower will have another match with - Suddenly a man in a suit comes out and interrupts Lord Alfred Lord Alfred: Excuse me? Who are you and why are you out here during my interview time? Jim Holliday: My name is Jim Holliday, but you can call me "Gentleman" Jim Holliday. Lord Alfred: I'll do nothing of the sort! What kind of a gentleman would come out here and interrupt me like this!? Jim Holliday: A gentleman whose services were requested in removing you from Southwest Championship Wrestling. Lord Alfred: What!? Jim Holliday: You see, I received a call two weeks ago from a prospective client of mine and he told me he was having a lot of problems with you interfering in his matches and he wanted to see if I could help get rid of you. And that's what I came here to do. Because not only is it time for Southwest Championship Wrestling to move into the future with fresh young talented wrestlers, it's time for fresh new managers and that's why I'm here. Lord Alfred: What are you blithering on about?! Jim Holliday:You see, I went into Stanley Blackburn's office and I negotiated a few very special provisions in your man Bulldog Brower's match this Sunday night with Steve Pardee. As the premier negotiator in all of wrestling I managed to come up with a trade off. In return for allowing Bulldog Brower to have his specialty match, a Dog Collar match I added in one extra stipulation. And that's if Bulldog Brower happens to lose that match, if Steve Pardee is victorious then your manager's license becomes null and void and you'll be looking for work elsewhere. Lord Alfred: What!? I never agreed to this! You can't negotiate a contract for one of my men's matches without me signing off on the deal! Jim Holliday: I can and I did. Not only are the wrestlers you keep bringing in here old and out classed but so are you. And now since this is surely the last time I'll be seeing you here, let me say farewell and good luck in wherever life takes you next. -Jim Holldiay leaves the interview area Lord Alfred: What is this about!? He can't put that kind of stipulation into one of my contracts! He can't! It's preposterous! It's abominable! It's - Steve Stack: Lord Alfred get a hold of yourself! You look as if your head is about to explode! Lord Alfred: I'm perfectly in control of my emotions right now! He hasn't gotten to me! I'm not upset at all! I'm confident in my man Bulldog Brower, a Dog Collar match IS his specialty and it's Steve Pardee who will be the one looking for a new line of work after the Bulldog ends his career! Yes that's it! He's the one in trouble not me! Just you wait and see Steven Stack and next week I'll be back here to see Bulldog Brower erase that smug look off that ugly mug of Jim Holliday! Cheers! -Lord Alfred storms out of the interview area Steve Stack: I think it's very obvious that Lord Alfred was anything BUT in control of his emotions. Make sure you stay in control of YOUR emotions during this last commercial break because when we come back we have our big main event, David Von Erich defending the TV Title against Roy Lee Welch and you won't want to miss it! -Fifth and final commercial break- Steve Stack: Welcome back to Southwest Championship Wrestling, we're not going to waste any time getting to our big main event match today of David Von Erich defending the Southwest Television Title against Roy Lee Welch! Let's head down to the ring for the introductions. Steve Stack: We've got a new Southwest Television Champion! That's one less title that Sunshine is going to have to worry about carrying around in her wheel barrow! I can only imagine what David Von Erich is going to do when he wakes up! Fans we're all out of time, don't miss your chance to buy tickets to the HemisFair Arena this week to see The Fabulous Ones take on The Texas Dynasty in a Texas Tornado Street Fight with both the AWA Southwest Tag Team Titles and the National Tag Team Titles on the line, Roy Lee Welch the new TV Champ taking on Bill Ash, Ken Lucas & Jim Duggan against Mr. Saito and Yoshi Seito, the big 6 man tag team match with the loser being barred from Southwest between Mil Mascaras, El Gran Apollo and Omar Atas and the team of Jose Lothario, Mr. Mexcio and Alberto Madril, all those great matches and more this Sunday night at The HemisFair Arena! We'll see you next time on Southwest Championship Wrestling!

Posting my TV a couple days early because I have a lot of stuff to do and might not be around much the rest of the week.

I feel like things are going to get way too convoluted with this. Maybe we just need to accept that we're not going to have access to every wrestler in the game that we would like to use. I think the project would benefit from people worrying more about what they DO have rather than what they don't.

I voted 34 & 2 but I'm fine with 34 & 3. 34 was the cap that won the vote so are we going to set a date when people need to get under it? November 1st seems fair to me, not sure how anyone else feels.

Don't overthink it. Is there someone you could really see as worth the value of losing your #1 spot? If there is, take them. If there isn't then pass. The only person who has gotten taken with the #1 pick so far is Marty Jannetty if that helps you figure out what the value of that pick might be.

Where is YOUR vote on the matter??

The one thing about that is Grimmas can't be looking at the trades with his former IWF owner hat on. Meaning if someone wants to make a trade for Chicky Starr he has to just evaluate the trade from a neutral place and on paper value only and not start thinking about all the things he would have/could have done with Chicky.

I'd rather have Grimmas as an overseer of those trades than to get inundated with poll threads. Especially since getting all the necessary votes could take quite a while if things end up split to the point you need 11 or 12 votes.

Well today's match was Ernie Ladd vs. Mike "Grenade" Boyer so good odds we could be seeing the other matches soon. The Ladd match was really just a total squash but worth the less than 3 minutes it'll take you to watch it.

I have to agree with El Boricua here but I'm not sure who would actually take on that role. I doubt very much that KrisZ is going to want to do it although he is the best qualified. Some of the proposed trades are just way unbalanced. Two really marginal pieces for a top star is not something you would propose in a PM so why make a poll about it?

When did Memphis get Mark Youngblood? I also don't mind saying I find this way too lopsided and voted no. Blackwell is a top heel for a promotion. Mike Graham and Mark Youngblood together don't equal his value.

I remember really loving Checkmate's turtle thing and how the World Class fans would actually encourage the babyfaces to NOT attack him when he did it. I don't know if that could have worked anywhere else.

Everyone kind of had their shot at Steamboat, he was on the trade block for a while so I'm not too concerned about the idea of him sitting in a dummy promotion for an indeterminate amount of time. So this is at 7 votes what is the ultimate result? Steamboat is in Stampede, Jake is in Montreal and Marty and Neidhart are in Southeastern?

7 out of 12 seems fine. I would advise that people not try and plan something in a rush that you need right away though because it may take a week to get everyone's votes in.

I might have to ask Loss or goodhelmet for a one week ban if it's Ziggler.

I don't have the answer to that but I would lobby that if we put in a roster cap then there should be some kind of a grace period to get under it, perhaps until November 1st?

I think the idea is to have people so sick of Rollins title reign by Mania that Reigns gets cheered against him. At least that's my theory.

I think that's everyone who is going to vote. As far as I can tell the only people who didn't vote are Wahoo and peachchaos

You are not making my roster thread easy dawho I have no idea what any of that means. On another note, I'm sending Tom Lintz over to Southeastern in exchange for getting Bill Ash a month ago.

My favorite place to hate wrestlingforum.com will also help you in that endeavor.

The idea of getting new writers in is nice and I want new writers to be able to come in, but I just don't see how that can happen unless we do something to protect a roster when someone quits. The free agent list is not going to entice people to join, even after a roster limit gets imposed that would cause people to pare down their roster by 4-5 wrestlers. Then they'll just have 30-40 jobbers to choose from instead of 10. Everyone already in the game has pretty much come out against do another big draft so I don't see people liking the actuality of an enhancement draft if one were to really take place. Sure people can say now "well we'll just have to share pieces of our pie if we want new writers" but I suspect people saying that don't really think an enhancement draft is going to happen. Or that somehow they'll skate through and not lose anyone important. I mean even if you get to save your top 10 guys there's still going to be talent that you lose, and immediately without being able to wrap up an ongoing storyline or write them out. It's much easier to leave guys out there that no one is writing for and thus won't ruin any existing plans if they go to a new writer.

I actually don't think there ARE any readers that aren't in this project. At least none that have ever commented.

I don't see how things in this game are ever even going to possibly get close to that. How did that even happen there? We're not including guys who only wrestled in Mexico, Japan or England in our game so that right there cuts down on a lot of guys I suspect were in the NWAR game. And for guys to become eligible in this game they have to be wrestling on a roster in 1983 that we can actually find results for not just look at wikipedia and go "oh well it says he started wrestling in 1982, let's throw him in" because who knows how accurate that is?

I've seen at least 6 hours of Dandy matches, probably more than that really. I've seen 2 hours or less of Breaks. But Breaks takes this and rather handily. I keep watching Dandy trying to see what other people see in him. I "got" Jim Breaks immediately.
