And the USWA just continues to roll on. Nice job moving on from the huge success at Wrestlestorm. I like Lance VonErich and Joe Savoldi. It will be interesting if Savoldi goes heel here as he was not happy with his defeat. I think it is a good move changing the title from Central States to Mid-America and Slater is a great first champ. Morrow and the Bruise Brothers are some of my favorites in the game. I hope they have big 86's. Funk is going to make a great traveling champ all across the USWA as he can sell tickets anywhere. Looking forward to seeing what's next. Wonder if we get a Lawler-Funk rematch somewhere down the line or if Lawler feuds with someone else. 86 will be great for the trio that makes up the USWA.

That was an action packed hour. I had a feeling Landel was in the arena. Loving this feud! I like Iceman Parsons back on the good side. He has so much energy that the fans just adore him. Armstrong/Cooley vs Wildfire and Johnny is PERFECT for Alabama. Glad you three in the USWA came together. It looks like the bounty on BJM won't be collected but he is in some bad shape. Brisco might be next to follow after he faces Khan. Still wondering who placed that bounty in the first place. You got me on the Violent Gentlemen. I really thought Dundee had just left... maybe back to Lawler but then we see Barnes and Boyd were the cause. Dundee is going to need some help!

Pacific Coast Wrestling is moving so somothly into 1986. I really enjoy when you add an interview to you show and this one was no exception. Bam Bam is one of my all-time favorires and I like what you have done with his early career.

No problem. Like I said before, this list is going to be a group effort. Thanks for researching it and checking what I have.

Payne is on the list

Fun show as always. I'm looking forward to Season's Beatings. Great set up for the 4 Corners Match for the Tag Belts. During the countout win by the Highway men you said the ref was at 18 with the count. Nice detail. I forgot that certain promotions used a 20 count instead of 10. Looking forward to see if Akbar just let's the Spoiler fire him or if he will be looking for revenge. Looking forward to seeing Deaton go for the title. I think you have done a great job setting up a balanced roster and know exactly where you are going. I think I need a lesson on this! I was debating about starting a NWA Wrestling Hall of Fame and putting Terry Funk in on the first ballot but not after that crack about the NWA title not meaning anything anymore!!! LOL. Great show as always!

Thanks for the help guys. This list is going to have to be a group effort. Unless they were a pretty big name, most likely I do not know who they are; especially if they went by more than one name.

This is a far too early list of rookies in 1987. It might be interesting to hold a 2 round international draft + our North American draft next year. We can discuss this at a later date. As always, this list will be ever changing. I admit that in terms of wrestling history, we are getting out of my comfort zone. If you have any other rookies to add, please let me know. 1987 ROOKIE LIST Art Barr Balls Mahoney Bob Cook Carl Ouellet Curtis Hughes CW Bergstom Drew McDonald Earthquake Eddie Guererro Glacier Great Malumba (To retire after 1988) Jerry Sags Joey Mags John Paul Johnny Grunge Jonathan Holiday JT Southern Kenny Bolin (Manager) Konnan Mad Dog Rex (To retire after 1988) Mark Laurinatis Maxx Payne Mighty I Ton Mighty Wilbur (To retire after 1988) Mike Allen (To retire after 1987) Pat Brady (To retire after 1989) PN News Rex King Ricky Hunter (To retire after 1987) Ross Hart (To retire after 1988) Scott Peterson (To retire after 1989) Scott Steiner Sid Eudy Shaun Simpson Steve Cox Taz Tony Nardo (To retire after 1987) Trudy Adams Ursula Hayden Vlad Petrov (To retire after 1987)

I'm really enjoying this new aspect to our game. I think you have done a great job of getting your roster in order and we are seeing the stars rise to the top. I don't know too much about some of the people but I laughed at the idea of Trudy Vachon. I have only known her as crazy Luna. I also like that you have kept the same format as Houston. It is so easy to follow.

NWA adds Paul Roma

NWA sends Ryuma Go to New Japan

I'm in the same boat as Blehschnidt as my knowledge of Japanese wrestling is almost zero but I 'm excited to learn. The one thing that I enjoy is all of the tournaments that go on. Welcome aboard.

Its official... Siredger is back and will be running Lutte International and Superkix has joined us running New Japan-Pro Wrestling. As we head into 1986, Dawn of War is back with a Canadian promotion and for the first time in the game, we will have a territoy outside of North America. If you get a chance, welcome them into our crazy world.

With so many moving parts coming at the end of the month, my roster will have two open spots and I will add Jose Luis Rivera and Ted Allen

Just letting everyone know that Superkix from the Millenium Project is looking into adding a Japanes promotion to our game. His roster would be made up Japanenes wrestlers not currently on any of our wrestlers. He might also use a couple of Americans from the free agency list.

That opening might have been your best yet! Sleep it off Otis! It seems like Fergie better hire better help with all of his money. Way to hype up the next big show. USWA as a whole is firing on all cylinders. You are slowly killing me with suspense. What is going on with the bounty? Who is Slick's big bodyguard? Twin States needs to be like a book where I can just get to the next chapter instead of having to wait another week. Great job. I'm hooked. Awesome main event. I'm so glad I started this Landel/Olympia feud and then sent them both home for you to finish it. You do such a better job of it. AWESOME SHOW

The USWA card of the Year was AWESOME! Enjoyed how it showcased all three promotions. You three working together is great for the game. Enjoy the new venture and I like how you explained that it was a true world title. Way to end some angles and get others going right away! Billy Jack Strong is here and seems to be ready to go. Money Man Morrow continues to be one of my favorites. Wonder what brought Kelly to the ring. Bruise Brothers are going to be HUGE! My new favorite team in the game. Wonder where Gene is going to go with the Violent Gentlemen. There was some problems going on before they lost the titles. Dundee is a master at going from good to bad. This could be fun. The match of the night might have been St. Clair vs SBS. Clair is becoming a superstar. Ayala and Colon have gone through some major wars with you. Nice to see them both come out on type. Wildfire is my favorite and I wish I saw some of his heel stuff in Memphis. Enjoying reading your version. HUGE SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON THE CONCRETE. That will bring heat for months to come. Slater and Dream could fight every day and I would still watch. Slater won this one but that cpuld change tomorrow. With that wild brawl, you could go in so many directions. I must question the Vin Man's IQ Funk puts Lawler down in Memphis... very Memphis like of you as Memphis is known for the unexpected. I am sure Lawler will be back to regain his thrown but Funk has so many enemies in wrestling that we might have to wait a bit. AWESOME WAY TO END THE YEAR!

NWA adds Roger Smith

NWA releases Lanny Kean and Bugsy McGraw and adds Dangerous Danny Davis

Nice opening bout. You adding in those post-match antics by Victory would really help him get some instant heat. You are so good and remembering to put in those subtle little things that help the fan connect with a character. And then you just added more to it with the suspense of what Tatum said to him. Great segment. Scott Casey vs Dory is an awesome event for a promotion like yours. Again, in many promotions in this game, Scott Casey is a nice babyface but in yours, you have made him into a superstar. AWESOME Let me repeat what I just said... your writing style and location of the territory fit perfectly and Johnny Mantell is just another example if a midcard guy becoming a supertar. Wow... Dusek gives some huge news... Adonis is here and he has joined Tim Brooks and Mike Miller.... again, the idea of the motorcycles just fits in so well in Texas... Spoiler and Tom Jones is a great feud and I'm looking forward to their rematch. Can't wait for Seasons Beatings.

As we spoke in private, I like the idea but I am unsure if I would be sending any of the big names from my territory.

Tupelo gets one heck of a card. Ronnie Garvin is like a super sub! Interested to see what happens to Fuller/Golden... Not always the most trust worthy guys. Not sure we can take them for their word. Kamala needs Friday Awesome show.

Interesting show as the angles and feuds begin to develop. Was interested to see if the Trios Championship was going to be Luchador style or a more traditional 6 person tag title. I must admit that it is going to be hard to take the title from Richter as right now the company needs a big name to get it going. This promotion adds such a different twist to our product that it is really fun to read and follow. Awesome job getting this started!

NWA releases Keith Hart and Dave Morgan
