Done.

Great way to get caught up to date with everyone else. That Clash card is really good!

That's a good question. This wasn't really an avenue exploited back then in the territory. The biggest "foreign" heel in the territory all those years ago was Hans Schmidt and in reality, he was a French Canadian from Joliette. So that's an interesting avenue for me to go with this time.

You're all set!

March 8th, 1985 Forum de Montréal Steel Cage Match: Carlos Colon beat Randy Rose (w/Jim Cornette) in 13:36 -Richard "Le Magnifique" Charland (w/Frenchy Martin) beat Sam Houston in 10:39 -The Spoiler beat Grappler #1 in 10:41 -NWA International Tag Team Champion Rick Martel beat Hercules Ayala in 15:47 -Nick Bockwinkel beat Steve Strong in 14:01 -The Sheepherders beat Samu & the debuting Great Kabuki (w/Eddy "The Brain" Creatchman) in 13:47 Triangle Match: The debuting Boris Zhukov beat Nord the Barbarian & NWA World Tag Team Champion Jacques Rougeau in 35:59. Rougeau first eliminated Nord the Barbarian but Zhukov used the Soviet flag behind the referee's back to secure the win over Rougeau! NWA International Heavyweight Championship: Terry Funk beat Rip Oliver (w/Sherri Martel) in 37:04 to retain

I know I say this a lot, but man, your B-crew have ridiculously good cards.

NWA Lutte Internationale will re-sign Armand Rougeau.

Oooh, dissension within the Miracle Violence Committee? Interesting!

Great start to the Young Lions Cup!

Yeah, man. We all have a life outside of this. We totally understand.

Thanks, man!

NWA Lutte Internationale signs Boris Zhukov.

Very nice start to this Continental Championship Wrestling era!

I'll be honest; I was sure that USWA would pick Bill Dundee or Eric Embry instead of Buddy Landell. But yeah, gordi, you got the sleeper pick with Bam Bam going to Japan. Looks like Bockwinkel & Martel better get ready for Larry Z in April!

With the first pick, NWA Lutte Internationale will select Larry Zbyszko, effective April 1st.

Question: do tag teams count as one pick or do we have to choose them separately in this one?

Ha! Welcome to my life! I'm hoping to get certain individuals as well!

Feels so weird to see the Road Warriors without Paul Ellering but Woman totally fits as their valet!

NWA Lutte Internationale News -The biggest news coming from the recent live events is the crowning of Terry Funk as the new NWA International Heavyweight Champion on the March 1st event in Sherbrooke. This move is said to be a return of favor to Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling for giving The Rougeau Brothers an NWA World Tag Team Championship run. There's no word out yet as to how long Funk will reign as NWA International Heavyweight Champion but there isn't any plan to have him drop the title quickly. The negotiations to make this happen were said to have gone quite smoothly but Lutte Internationale had a back up plan with Billy Robinson winning the title if discussions with Terry Funk had fallen through. So, it looks like Rick Martel dropping the title was the plan all along, especially since he & Gino Brito won the NWA International Tag Team Championships. Frank Valois wants Martel to focus on that in the meantime, to give him a break from the rigorous schedule. -The 2nd annual Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup is coming at the beginning of May and promoter Frank Valois wants to promote it across the United States and it's the reason behind his decision to hold a weekend of live events in the United States in the first weekend of April. The first event will take place in Los Angeles on April 5 with Terry Funk headlining the card in an NWA International Heavyweight Title defense. The following show will take place the next night in Orlando, Florida with Nick Bockwinkel facing Bob Backlund in the main event. Finally, the April 7th show will take place closer to their stomping grounds in Brattleboro, Vermont with a Gauntlet Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship as the main event. The April 5 show will be a matinee event while the 2 other shows will take place at the usual starting time of 8 PM. -Speaking of the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup, the dates will be announced soon but we already know it will take place at the Montreal Forum like last year on the span of 3 nights. Other than Lutte Internationale, invitations will be extended to Mid-Atlantic, the AWA, USWA, Continental, New Japan & CMLL to participate. The spots originally planned for the WWF in the tournament will be filled by freelancers yet to be determined. Each territory will have 4 wrestlers, like last year, representing them in the tournament. As mentioned before, the only WWF star allowed to participate will be Andre the Giant because of his freelancing status -Frank Valois is hopeful to bring in the Rock N' Roll Express for a series of shows in the month of April and is working on reshuffling his schedule to allow them to be brought in. Right now, they're mostly engaged with the USWA on a permanent basis but negotiations seem to be also going well. -On a more disappointing side, it seems like Fatu is struggling to get over, even if being paired with his cousin Samu in the Creatchman Family. There is now talks of sending him in another territory to allow him to shine on his own. -Finally, NWA Lutte Internationale have set two dates for their 2 biggest events of 1985: August 16th and November 30th, both Saturday nights. Frank Valois wants those to be some sort of complements to Mid-Atlantic's Great American Bash and Starrcade events, in which he wants to feature stars of both territories and maybe 1 or 2 special guests. The locations haven't been disclosed yet.

All set.

You're good.

Done.

All set.

Kev, I'm gonna need the dates you plan to use the Rock N' Roll Express in the freelancers ledgers, please!

No problem on my end.
