It's kind of my favorite feud too, really. I didn't know what I was going to do with it at first, it's one of those things that just ended up getting way better once I started writing it from when it was being brain stormed.

Damn right it is. I'm glad some people are starting to get past this notion that all the territories are supposed to be best of friends and peace and love and harmony should rule the 1983 fantasy rasslin world.

Ya'll stop trying to throw off my man El Boricua from getting caught up in the fantasy project.

That roster would have put WWF out of business though so I feel it's actually quite realistic.

That's what the "Insert Month" Freelancers Threads are.

Tony Torres is not a free agent anymore. I dropped T.G. Stone and picked him up. Big Red Reese also needs to be swapped out with Paul Peller.

Very much looking forward to a new Brainbuster. I'm not much of a podcast guy because when it comes to a review or analysis I'd much rather read it than listen to it but Brainbuster is super fun and not something that would work in a written medium.

Yes, especially since Flyin' Brian was going to have until the end of the day to show up anyway. Doesn't stop you from coming up with the list of guys you would want to keep/drop though. Although I think if Super Stan wants in he should pretty much just take ICW and not make everyone go through a bunch of headache over an expansion draft. There is pretty much no way an expansion draft roster would be better than one with Randy Savage, Ronnie Garvin, Adrian Street, Jim Cornette, Arn Anderson, Jimmy Valiant, Lanny Poffo, Pez Whatley and The Grappler as it's top stars.

Jacques being injured is quite a surprise. I guess The Midnights won't hurt for new challengers though with all the tag teams waiting in the wings that could come into Montreal. Good stuff from Goldie Rogers although the finish seemed a bit over done with a low blow, a throat first drop across the ropes and a neckbreaker. I like Goldie here but someone described Goldie to me as a "lazy Rip Rogers" and knowing how boring Steve Regal is I'm not sure I'd actually want to see a match with them teaming together. Good TV Tag Title match between The Tongan Terrors and The Invaders. That IS a match I would actually want to see. Pretty bold choice to show the main event of your big show on TV like that. Lefebvre got put over so hard I'm almost wondering if you're setting up a face turn.

I would imagine that you guys could find better information on whether or not it's a scam on your own doing some googling and not pondering the question on a wrestling board. I l know that there are actually a lot of "charities" who spend pennies on the dollar on their actual cause and spend the other 95 cents of the dollar on fund raising and administrative costs.

There are isn't a list of available territories because we don't leave one open if someone drops out. If a new writer wants to come in and there isn't an open territory they can either start helping someone write or get set up in a kind of developmental territory. Right now we have ICW open but since we don't get new writers often it wouldn't be a good idea to just leave territories open waiting for someone to come along. But you can see what territories are active here: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31239-every-promotions-roster-in-one-thread/ (promotions that are crossed out with a line through them are the ones who have been merged) There is a Free Agent thread here: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31871-free-agency-wire/ And there are monthly Freelancer threads where you can request dates on guys like Stan Hansen, Abdullah the Butcher, Bruiser Brody, The Original Sheik and Mil Mascaras (when they aren't in Japan) They are considered freelancers because they weren't guys who would hunker down in one territory only for months on end. As far as rules, I'm not really sure what you are looking for. Currently the only real hard rule is that if you don't make any posts or give any indication that you're still in the game, your territory gets merged (or taken over by a new writer) after 30 days. I guess the only other hard rule would be that you can't use a guy on someone's roster unless you made an agreement to use them. Meaning I can't just say "well WCCW isn't running on Sunday night so I'll just book half of their roster on my show in San Antonio" There is no real list of "rules" because the game is very open ended which is one of the better parts. At this point I think that some rosters are getting so bloated that it would make sense for a new writer to be able to come in and set up shop somewhere like Arizona/New Mexico/maybe even California since no one is really running there. Not sure how they would get set up with talent though, I would personally send a few guys off my roster since it's starting to get a little bloated but I know everyone is not going to do that.

From the territory loops thread: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/30453-territory-loops/?hl=loops

Nobody has come forward as a new writer since you and the Florida writer came in. I am guessing that rainmaker's friend never responded since we haven't heard about that in a week now. Doesn't seem like there is anyone who is going to step in and takeover ICW.

I think this should really squash any need to argue over Cornette. If he's going to honor the 50/50 deal then you guys should be able to just work out a sharing agreement. He was able to appear on both the ICW & Southeastern TV tapings so it would seem like things should be manageable.

Memphis had a pretty well established loop. Of course I don't really expect you to do this many shows a week but this is what it looked like: Monday: Memphis, TN Tuesday: Louisville, KY Wednesday: Evansville, IN Thursday: Spot show (Blytheville, Jonesboro, AR, Jackson TN) Friday:Tupelo, MS Saturday: Memphis TV in the morning & Nashville at night

Damn it. Pete Doherty the Duke of Dorchester. Come on The Baron was right there! CWF Mid-South WWC WWA

Tully is being body guarded by Mr. Saito that shit ain't going down. Please.

Well if we're just going to throw out any semblance of reality, like Turner allowing someone to run opposition in the Omni to the very promotion he's featuring on WTBS, Joe Blanchard plans to call in a bomb threat hours before the NWA Omni show is scheduled to take place and get it cancelled.

The first Southeastern episode on WTBS was certainly an interesting one. Started with the big surprise of Southeastern switching sanctioning bodies, with the WTBS now suddenly being the national outlet for the the AWA instead of the NWA. And ended with the unannounced arrival of The Texas Dynasty who took out Bob & Brad Armstrong and ended the show as the National Tag Team Champions. Add in all the good stuff in the middle like a Heavenly Bodies squash, Charlie Cook vs. The Torch, Buzz Sawyer killing a jobber, some good promos from Tommy Rich and The Armstrongs and this was one hell of a show. The Texas Dynasty is going to have to get really creative if they win any more belts now though with them already having one for each shoulder and one around their waists.

The WTBS time slots suddenly becoming an AWA showcase seems slightly more significant.

It's just an hour show. Despite the fact that a lot of people get speaking time, it's not like their promos are really all that long and they get shuffled in one right after the other if there are multiple interviews in one segment. Segment four is usually dedicated to a promo train of 3-4 guys all cutting promos one after the other but it's still only a 7-8 minute segment. I'm not doing any WWE style 20 minute monologues. I had 4 different guys do promos in the fourth segment but even if they got 2 minutes each that's only an 8 minute segment. Watch an old episode of Southeastern/Continental to see the model that idea is based off of. Nearly everyone who was going to be on the Monday night card in Boutwell got promo time on the TV. You'd have probably 8-12 guys cut short promos on one episode.

Well that first Southeastern show on WTBS certainly shook things up. Wonder if that qualifies as the fantasy project's version of 'Black Saturday'...
