There are a couple more names on the list...we can continue to grow this list... but I also think that we have a huge piece of talent that isn't being used... Mexico. I think we could pull in some of the big names and throw them in here for this draft... or at least as free lancers or something...

I will update the order here soon.

Always nice to see a scaffold match on the indy shows. The Masked Cowboys angle has hit a boiling point as well. Good to see Lutte continuing to build and grow.

WWF News -Vince McMahon is said to be very happy with the way that the world title tournament has played out in the major cities. Expect next weeks, semi and finals to be big shows for the WWF. With the field set, Saturday's show in the Meadowlands will be headlined by Randy Savage taking on Ted Dibiase and Hulk Hogan taking on Big John Studd... with the winners of each match headlining the next night in Madison Square Garden. Local reports are such that if you bring your ticket stub from Saturday night to the Sunday show at the Garden, you will get a discount off from tickets not yet sold. -Expect more matches to be announced for Sunday's card on Superstars. The WWF does already locally advertise Andre the Giant being at the show along with a world tag team title rematch with the Briscoes taking on The Russians along with Gino Hernandez defending the IC title against Sgt. Slaughter. -There is talk of a feud ender with Sgt. Slaughter amassing a team to go up against Lord Alfred Hayes' bunch with Slaughter's career and Lord Alfred's managing license on the line. No word on the outcome as Sgt. Slaughter has recently voiced his opposition to his place on the card and would like to be showcased as a more premiere worker. Lord Alfred is not much for the road and could be used in an event center setting. - Those close to Vince McMahon said he was livid at the news of the CWA jumping from the NWA to join with the USWA. It is no secret that McMahon and current USWA figurehead Bill Watts have had their issues. Watts feels like McMahon stabbed him in the back while McMahon raided Watts' talent pool to re-figure the WWF. Randy Savage among others have dates in Memphis and this could cause a stir when it comes to bookings. Some even think that McMahon would send Savage to Knoxville to try and hurt CWA attendance. -Roddy Piper has been recently brought up as a name to go out on the road. Piper is being used heavily on WWF television but still has ties to the Portland area. No word on if the arrangement will come through. - A lot of new faces popping up in the WWF means that some could be out the door. Ivan Putski is one name floating around that may be looking for work in the not to distant future. Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty are two of the WWF's jobbers who may be fleeing the company to try and get a shot as regulars in the future. -With Jimmy Hart coming into the WWF, some have wondered how this will play a role in Bobby Heenan's future. Heenan and Hart are two prominent managers and some have said they have already spoken about talent and who will have what. Hart debuted this week with Orton and Slater and is expected to expand on that stable in the future.

Gino works the crowd and Gorilla says he has a long list of challengers for that title! Who will be the man to take the title from him?

None of us have admin powers for that... one thing you could do is just go in and edit them to clear everything out.

Much like the current day brand split, there is some definite competitor inside the USWA between World Class and Mid South. I am interested to see what happens with some sleeper but great guys like Adams and Butch Reed. I could see them both being top tops in the USWA to go against someone like Lawler and the JYD. I am still amazed to see how well you are balancing the two rosters and all the talent. Keep doin work!

True dat I think he is probably the most versatile character in the history of wrestling. He was soooo good at so many things... managing, wrestling, color... he was simply the best and it is so awesome to be able to use him in every facet of the game.

I just think that when the WWF would run these loops, a nice way to get a small pop is to throw Heenan in... especially against Hogan.

WWF Would like Andre the Giant on August 5th for an MSG special.

All set.

I think this was just a how do I get involved in the project thread. No worries.

I updated the roster database and the free agency list. Double check both for your rosters and then let me know if there is anything that needs to be fixed.

I don't think we need to overthink this whole thing. Deaths are more important than retirement as most of the main guys will be around. If it is truly questionable, do your own check like most of us have and make the moves needed.

Whatever the list you sent me is what I put on there. I won't have time this weekend to update if someone else wants to and then send me the list.

Thanks to Kev for double checking on our Free Agents. The list is updated with individuals who are active and those who were not were taken off. Please make sure you take note of that on your own rosters using cagematch or wrestlingdata. Thanks!

He is just asking about him. Albano is counting as your 20.

Ricky Gibson is his 20th guy... Looking forward to what you put together Boon.

Here is Boon's preliminary roster... Knoxville Preliminary Roster Bill Ash Dirty Rhodes Doug Vines Jeff Sword Phil Hickerson Tommy Lane Mike Davis The Flame Matt Borne Billy Travis Dan Spivey Ken Lucas Ron Starr (Mr Wrestling) Roy Lee Welch Larry Hamilton Josh Stroud Gene Ligon Tony Falk Billy Spears Ricky Gibson He has the choice to pick up one more person... free agency is back open for all those concerned.

You can go ahead Boon and pick up 20 guys from Free Agency and get going if you'd like. I am sure we'd be more than willing to throw you some more if you want to stick around. Free Agency will be on hold until you pick your 20 on the FA thread.
