So a linear history if openings and closings? That could take some work but if I get free time I could put something together.

Expand on this?

The British Bulldogs are said to be looking for a different schedule than the WWF's and possibly up for moving. Let the WWF booking team know if you'd like to talk about picking up their contract.

Good write up. Makes things a lot easier to follow. Looking forward to the continued progress.

Well technically he would be booked but the show wouldn't happen due to the quake right??

Very fun start for Memphis LTrain. I like the outline format of the show. The notes always seem to help get the story across. Great first outing.

Just a fantastic job bringing in the new names and making them worthwhile from the get go. I liked the Bock promo a lot and still think that the Briscos can bring something to the table.

WWF Live Event 1/6/85 New York City, New York – Madison Square Garden MAIN EVENT Hulk Hogan & Tony Atlas defeated King Kong Bundy & Bob Orton w/ Roddy Piper TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP 2/3 FALLS The British Bulldogs defeated The Russians © but the 3rd fall was a DQ so no title swap INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth defeated Masked Superstar via count out –Savage ripped off his mask and Superstar ran out of the ring and up the aisle! Andre the Giant & Tito Santana defeated Greg Valentine & Brutus Beefcake w/ Jimmy Hart Haku & Barbarian w/ Bobby Heenan defeated The Killer Bees The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart defeated The Youngbloods Ron Bass w/ Jack Lanza defeated SD Jones

WWF Superstars Vince McMahon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan defeated SD Jones -A quick showcase from Bundy who looks bigger than ever. Heenan says that Bundy is hungry… Bundy wants some GOLD! We see the Avlanche and then the 5 count for the victory! *COMMERCIAL* Haku & Barbarian defeated Terry Daniels & Tony Garea -In the biggest shock… it is Bobby Heenan who walks out here with Haku and the Barbarian! The crowd is really giving Heenan the business as we see Haku and Barb beat the shit out of Garea and Daniels before hitting the powerslam, diving headbutt combo for the pinfall. Heenan is then heard saying that the FAMILY IS COMING TOGETHER! HAHAHA! *COMMERCIAL* Jake Roberts defeated Jose Louis Rivera -A fun showcase for Jake Roberts tonight as the crowd is starting to come around to him. We see him do some nice work on Rivera and hit his trademarks before nailing a nasty DDT for the 3 count. Roberts then walks over and pulls up the bag and the crowd is going wild but he just teases it as he walks off. *COMMERCIAL* PIPER’S PIT Roddy Piper: So just to be clear here… they took me off the air because they said I was a little too controversial. They said I was a little too unpredictable. Maybe they think I am a little bit too Rowdy! Well you can tame a snake and you can toy with a lion but you don’t piss with the Piper jack! Lemme tell you something right now… 1984 was nothing man… I am coming into 1985 with a chip on my shoulder and brother… no one is safe. I showed everyone just how Rowdy I was when I took that good for nothing animal Jimmy Snuka and ran him out of the territory. I showed the current Intercontinental Champion… Randy Savage… I showed him just how Savage I can be man. Listen… it comes down to this… how do you measure up when you look in the mirror? Ain’t no man ever questioned whether or not the Hot Rod can throw hands… I may wear a kilt but damnit I can throw a punch. You see I don’t need a title belt to prove that I am worth something. I don’t need that kind of recognition… it is nice… but I don’t need it… but you know… in 1985… I WANT IT! I want to know how that gold feels around my waist. I want to know what it is like to truly be on top of the mountain, looking down at all the peasants… cuz you know… I do that already but it is like having that crown jewel. Well… I have made me a new year’s resolution… and that resolution is simply put… I WANT TO FACE HULK HOGAN FOR THE WWF CHAMPIONSHIP! -Piper drops the microphone and walks off as the crowd is stunned… what will the Hulkster have to say about all this? *COMMERCIAL* MAIN EVENT Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Lt. James Wright -A chance to see the NEW Intercontinental Champion in action tonight as the Macho Man looks glorious with the title belt as he and Elizabeth are the prized couple of the WWF. Savage is able to work over Wright something awful and the hits the big elbow drop from the top rope for the 3 count. He poses and works the crowd with Elizabeth before walking up the back while Jesse and Vince sing his praises… the problem comes with the Masked Superstar comes out of nowhere with a lariat on Savage and puts him down! Superstar picks him up for a Cobra Clutch Slam on the concrete floor as Elizabeth tries to cover up Macho and keep him safe! Vince runs down to check on him as Jesse sends us off.

This and what it is worth in the long run I guess. It would be a huge victory for the guy who beats him but it could work out okay for Stan. The loss of hair/mask does have meaning for us if we add that element in, but in Mexico it is a lot bigger. I'd say go for it depending on who beats him to make sure it is minorly realistic.

WWF Live Event 1/5/85 East Rutherford, NJ – The Meadowlands WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © defeated Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © defeated Masked Superstar TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Russians © vs the British Bulldogs went to a double DQ! HANDICAP MATCH Andre the Giant & Tony Atlas defeated King Kong Bundy, Roddy Piper, & Bob Orton Haku & The Barbarian defeated The Youngbloods Tito Santana defeated Brutus Beefcake w/ Jimmy Hart The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart defeated The Killer Bees

WWF Wrestling Challenge Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby The Brain Heenan in studio Matches from Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart defeated Johnny Rodz -Gorilla and Bobby are putting over the newest addition to the Hart Foundation as Valentine looks stout and ready for a good run here in the WWF. He handles Rodz with ease and we hear Gorilla and Bobby put over the on-going feud between Valentine and Santana. The Figure Four is all she wrote here for the submission victory and Valentine looks strong in his debut. *COMMERCIAL* Jim Brunzell & Brian Blair defeated Bob Bradley & Omar Atlas -Jumping Jim and B Brian are really coming into their own and they even have the yellow and black tights to show things off this week. A huge double dropkick on Bradley for the 1…2…3 and these two continue to show they can run with the best. *COMMERCIAL* Ron Bass defeated Jeff Gaylord -An interesting piece of information is let loose here as Ron Bass beats up Jeff Gaylord. Bobby Heenan talks about how Ron Bass has been working with Blackjack Lanza. Lanza of course was managed by Heenan and it is said that Bass and Lanza may be working together in the future and possibly teaming. The Outlaw hits a nasty bulldog on Gaylord for the 1…2…3 here tonight. *COMMERCIAL* David Sammartino defeated Victor Rivera -Much like Ron Bass… it is David Sammartino who is talked about with regards to working with his mentor… Bruno. The current WWF Commissioner has been spending time with his son on his in ring work and it shows here tonight as he hits Rivera with a bearhug slam for the 3 count. The crowd isn’t there yet but they like the last name. *COMMERCIAL* Tito Santana defeated Johnny Rivera -Tito Santana comes out like a house of fire on Johnny Rivera tonight. He handles Johnny like no other but then we see Greg Valentine, Brutus Beefcake, and Jimmy Hart all come out. They are talking amongst themselves and looking at Tito who nails the flying forearm but then adds insult to injury with the Figure Four Leg Lock for the submission! He then flies out of the ring and looks to go for Valentine who is being held back by Beefcake and Jimmy. Referees are holding Tito back and Bobby and Gorilla put this over in a huge way!

I don't mind the format of the show. It is going to take some getting used to in terms of the language and wrestlers as I have very little knowledge of these guys. I will definitely be paying close attention and keeping tabs on some of the characters. I am sure that the television will clear things up for me.

​Okay guys we are going to revamp free agency a little bit. With the inclusion of Japan and Mexico. We are going to have free agents for both of them, however they will need to separated by those who can and cannot travel. This is going to be an ongoing process, so just bear with me as we put it together. I have got the list of American Free Agents, Those who can travel, and Japanese free agents. If we need to add Mexico free agents we can do so. Just let me know if some people need to be moved around and added and such.

WWF NEWS - You are hearing it here first... there is talk of Vince McMahon putting on a closed circuit special event in the spring time. With the success of the Brawl to End it All, McMahon is looking to continue to capitalize on that momentum and put together a big event. Word has it that the Philadelphia Spectrum, Los Angeles Sports Arena, UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Boston Garden, or Madison Square Garden are in the running for the major show. - Reports are coming out that Bobby Heenan's family will be doing some shifting. John Studd and Hercules have both left the promotion and some have said that Heenan may be bringing in a tag team to make up for their loss while focusing all of his attention to King Kong Bundy and a major run at Hulk Hogan. ​- Gino Hernandez has supposedly be given a 30-day suspension by the WWF in order to "get cleaned up" and in that time he has already talked about breaching his contract and working with other promotions. The contract is a handshake deal with McMahon to not work in any other rival promotions, but we will see if Hernandez will comply. ​- There were some rumors that Stan Hansen would be brought in to work with Hogan for a major program but those fell through. Hansen's asking price was too much and he has got various Japanese tours not he books. - The surprise of Greg Valentine shocked many in Lutte and the NWA when he showed up for the WWF. Some have said there was a huge pay off for him to be there. This ruffled a lot of feathers including some "old timers" like the Funks, Briscos, and Bockwinkel who all left the promotion when they heard about the tomfoolery. Bockwinkel was of course scheduled to leave, but made it a point to let McMahon know how upset he was before packing his bags.

No worries there.

I think there was some miscommunication. I have going to have grimmas come in and clean up those threads. Like we've been doing... each month will have its own thread in which all the freelancers are shown and booked from. Not individual threads for each person each month. No worries.

Yeah each month should be it's own thread.

Patrick is making the threads now to put this all on paper.

Edgar is going to take over freelancers for the time being. He will book them six-months out to help with everyone... he will have a different thread for each month. If that needs to change, let me know.

I won't have anything for 1986 yet, but I think we can put together the 85 stuff no worries.

Much like real life, Vince Jr is going to loan out Andre the Giant here and there for individuals. I won't ask for much if anything in return in order to book the Giant. I don't think we will need to talk specifics when booking Andre, as we all know he was a major attraction. If you do have dates coming up that you'd like to use him, simply put it down here and I will put it on the ledger. If I have specific dates for the WWF, I will mark them here or if he is schedule to go on a Japanese tour, I will post it. Let me know if you have any requests or questions. 1/2 - 1/6 - WWF 1/11 - 1/26 - New Japan
