And I just want to point out that despite Crockett's backing of Flair, he's never been closed to the other options.

Correct, and there's obviously a difference between Flair winning at Starrcade and holding it on and off for 5-6 years without any major interruptions and Flair winning at Starrcade and having new battles with this project's top stars.

We will see.... Jim Crockett may need to reevaluate some of his partnerships if this is how he gets treated in return. Mr. Tunney may not realize that without regular partners sticking together, neither may get what they want. Divided we fall.

Agreed. Jim Crockett is confused and unhappy with Jack Tunney.

Has to be random. Bookers can still create injuries to explain absences, but the randomness of injuries mirrors real life and provides a challenge. It can be taken down to one injury per month if that makes it more acceptable for everyone. Just a random injury of random severity. So in the course of a year, 12 random wrestlers will be impacted.

The 12/96 WWF rundown was eye opening. I was watching at the time, but have never revisited how absolutely dead that promotion was at the time. It's Time sounds like one of the least appetizing PPV's of all time. Nice twist at the end with you actually being able to put together some logical great-sounding matches.

So who is taking the champ's booking dates at the moment? JCP would like to reserve some time to build up to a big title match, especially if we may not be homeground to a new champion at all in 1983. Looking for 9/22, 9/24, 10/27, 10/29, 11/22, and of course 11/24.

JCP added Steve Estes and Tiger Williams

Didn't know there would be such quick turnaround between recording and posting. Between this and Kris's Landell-cast, it's a call for celebration. Thanks guys.

Edit - Will wait for LowBlow to confirm.

Oh awesome. Thanks guys. Perfect timing. Reason for the podcast sucks, but excited to listen.

Fair enough. And reasonable.

I'll adjust if it doesn't go that way. Not meaning to make this a big thing. Obviously hoping it goes this way though. NWA president is separate, was just offering it up since I don't mind the responsibility. Just want everyone to be open to things.

That's fair, but a weird stance. Different for the sake of being different?Job Lawler out then or at least get rid of him. Memphis with Lawler already happened. Yeah because one title change is equivalent to a decade of hometown hero. Considering Flair was on off champ for a decade, yes. It's not definitely happening, but to count it out because it mirrors real life is ridiculous. It happened in real life for a reason and that doesn't disappear because we're creating a new 1983.

Great! Looking forward to hear what you have in store.

We'd still be voting as a board on future champions anyway. Not sure why my desire to plan for a new champion down the line is an issue here.

What's the due date for episode #3? Have some long walks coming up and I'm hoping to listen to it on one of those.

Jim Crockett is still willing to step up for the job, or at least continue on the board.

The banter at these meetings is fantastic. Graham and Jarrett, what a team.

That's OK, maybe someday in the future Mr. Inoki.

Fantastic, we will develop an outline of matches and how to lead up to them as we head towards the show. Could have the opportunity for showcasing individual feuds and a few inter promotional matches.
