Will add those. Jumbo wasn't added due to being a broken down comedy wrestler. Can add if nobody has delusions about him

Yes. Pick a team and forfeit next round. Beefcake can be moved

Will take a look at fixing tiers. Christopher needs to be added

Only Japanese promotionso can draft from the Japan list

Three hours watching with commercials is almost impossible to watch weekly. Hulu is probably the easier way to watch Raw, but maybe the version downloaded or DVR'd and fast forwarding might work too.

Rough draft of available talent for draft. Very open for corrections.

Available for either Japan or America for Tier A/B promotions. But is he active or do we have to wait to use him? He didn't technically wrestle from August till the end of the year... I would think Vader was just waiting out his contract and waiting for his new contract... he's not like Road Warrior Animal who was sitting on due to injury.

Available for either Japan or America for Tier A/B promotions.

Yeah, not a hard cap. Just an initial draft cap. Don't want to have someone trying to run a Japense promotion with all American talent or something silly.

I think you should extend the cap to seven, because a cursory glance at WWF's roster month by month in '96 has them occasionally exceeding the limit. Even more so if you include Glenn Jacobs. Nothing is stopping future foreign talent. Just initial focus on home talent. If in one year WCW is half Mexican that is fine... Is what I am thinking. If people want it upped, fine though

All but Hansen, ace, death and can Ams were added for tour. You can have more by bringing in folks for tours

There will be three draft lists. USA, Japan, Either. As a Japanese promotion you can only draft from the Either and/or Japanese list. As a USA promotion you can only draft from the USA and/or Either list. There will be more draftable wrestler than what were on those promotions lists (WAR, RINGS, indies, etc..) In any event, you can only draft 5 wrestlers who were not born in your home country, no matter what list they are on. Of course you can add more non-natives on short term basis for tours and big shows from the free agents list. To clarify the moment the draft ends you can only have 5 wrestlers not born in your home country, no matter what list they were on.

The original ppv was going to be in late 96, but was ruined by the lesbian angle.

Perfect, yeah he was not on UWFi shows, but on NJPW and I think a WAR show around the time. Deals with other companies are up to you folks, so no obligation to deal with NJPW. Yes, you are starting Tier B. I really look forward to this... I imagine there will be some RINGS folks you may raid as well.

That's a nice beginning roster.

Yes! You get to keep the owner, Nobuhiko Takada (who is also the "Real" Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion). From there, you can protect three of the following members of the roster: Kiyoshi Tamura Naoki Sano Gary Albright Tatsuo Nakano Masahito Kakihara Yoji Anjoh Kazushi Sakuraba Yoshihiro Takayama Hiromitsu Kanehara Kenichi Yamamoto The rest of your roster will be determined in the draft.

I really have no problem with that as well.

Is there anyone in charge of any of the Mexican Promotions? If not, how would one get a wrestler booked? All good questions, that I am not sure how to handle yet. Rey and Psycoshis worked ECW, WAR and the Super J Cup. Things picked up in mid 1996, when WCW did the lucha invasion... any ideas. I think if no one picks up Mexico, let them in the draft. Just the ones who worked outside of Mexico though.

I think in Japan: Rings, UWFI and AJW should be ghost promotions, where the talent is only available on short term deals between their tours. In Mexico: AAA and CMLL should be the same as well. ie if you want Rey Jr, Konnan or Pyschosis then you have to work around AAA, like how ECW and WCW did.

I think it should be a request to move up system. If you have run the promotion for 6 months and want to move up, request it and it will probably be approved. Tier A: tv, ppvs, national Tier B: tv, almost ppvs, run in different parts of the country Tier C: tv, run in a territory Tier D: monthly shows only So, ECW, by this model, turns into Tier A in 1997.. so yeah, we'd have to come up with specifics, but it should be possible. Just not right away, and not skipping steps. USWA is not going to be on par with the WWF within a month or anything. By that same token, promotions could get smaller too.

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. Latest Wednesday.

As for strategy. Get 3-4 solid people in tags, strong style, death matches, and women and fill it out with whoever is left. Hopefully some that can overlap a few divisions. The key strategy is to see how to fill out my 5 foreigners in the draft. I already have Mike Awesome, so that leaves only 4 slots for USA/CAN/MEX.

Americans available in Japan will essentially be wrestlers who spent a good amount of time in Japan, People like Hogan, Eddie Guerrero, Steiners are available for Japan. People like Lex Luger and Randy Savage are not.
