Posted June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679259 Why weren't they included? Sorry if I missed it explained somewhere. If they aren't included... can I take over New Japan so I can book the shows? I'll honor your commitments and allow sending talent overseas if your Board of Directors agrees to it.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679260 I always wanted someone to be in charge of Japan and actually think you should be the one who controls what talent you bring, not the Board. After July 1st the talent that goes on tours should also become part of our alternate reality. Not the dates though. So if you goodhelmet are the booker you pick the American talent not history. Obviously things have to stay within reason and you can't just go "no more Brody in Japan I hate him" but I don't see why this wouldn't work. You can look up the number of foreign talent on each tour and take that many total from everyone out there. But not like decimate one promotion and take 6 of their guys for one tour or something crazy.
June 21, 201510 yr Author comment_5679262 there is already a list of talent scheduled like Abby and Murdoch. Killer Khan was in NJ in 1983 but he is on somebody's roster already so I wouldn't book him unless I traded for him on certain tours. I'll be happy to do All Japan too but don't want to step on anyone's toes. I just like the idea of trading talent and creating cards.

I'll be happy to do All Japan too but don't want to step on anyone's toes. I just like the idea of trading talent and creating cards. The way the game already works is that people who have guys like Killer Khan have to respect the dates he is on tour in Japan. The rules of the game now is that Kris posts the dates of the tours and the guys who were on them and they are unavailable in that time. This wouldn't change the part of having to book around Japan dates, that already exists.
June 21, 201510 yr Author comment_5679266 OK cool. Well, here is the listing of NJ guys I came up with outside of Killer Khan.... JUNIORS Tiger Mask Kuniaki Kobayashi Gran Hamada Kantaro Hoshino Black Tiger Missionarios (from Mexico) The Cobra Antonio Inoki Rusher Kimura Seiji Sakaguchi Kengo Kimura Tatsumi Fujinami Riki Choshu Akira Maeda Yoshiaki Yatsu Animal Hamaguchi Nobuhiko Takada Here is a listing of people who are going to tour New Japan... New Japan (7/1 - 8/4) Abdullah the Butcher Adrian Adonis Brian Blair Dick Murdoch Tiger Chung Lee Paul Orndorff (7/22 - 8/4) New Japan (8/26 - 9/22) Killer Khan Bad News Allen Hercules Lonehawk (Magnificent Zulu) Dick Murdoch Eddie Hogan Bruce Hart (9/16 - 9/22) New Japan (10/7 - 11/3) Eddie Gilbert Killer Khan Big John Studd Paul Orndorff Yoshiaki Yatsu Brian Blair The Cobra (11/3) Davey Boy Smith (11/3) New Japan (11/18 - 12/10) Yoshiaki Yatsu Bobby Duncum Curt Hennig Adrian Adonis Dick Murdoch Andre the Giant Swede Hanson Killer Khan Tiger Chung Lee Hulk Hogan
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679269 If you wanted to book shows based off those rosters, I see absolutely no reason you shouldn't be allowed to. It's not like they are doing anything in Japan now in the game except I guess following the exact results of real time history. I think it would be fun to add to the dynamic and allow you to chose the guys you bring on the tour like the New Japan (8/26 - 9/22) has 6 guys coming in from outside but instead of those 6 you got to choose who you wanted. I guess that part would be up to KrisZ or maybe people could vote on it.
June 21, 201510 yr Author comment_5679271 I have no problem honoring the current guys on the Japanese tour. It has already been decided and would be easier for me. However, being able to send Choshu or Fujinami or Inoki to the states would be intriguing for me if I was able to control their stateside dates and the conditions on which they appear (no televised jobs, no death matches, etc.).
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679273 I know some people very much want to find a way to use Japanese talent on their shows so this would open the door for that. Joe Blanchard is too poor to afford the international flights though so I hadn't thought about how to get Giant Baba into Southwest to be Mr. Saito's partner in full costume as The Giant Ninja.
June 21, 201510 yr Author comment_5679283 NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title was in effect... TIger Mask is the champion Is this the only championship in New Japan in 1983? The IWGP titles were created later. It says that NJ recognizes the NWA world champion but also has a working relationship with the WWF
June 21, 201510 yr Author comment_5679291 ALL JAPAN ROSTER Genichiro Tenryu Jumbo Tsuruta Giant Baba Ueda Ishikawa Hara Inoue Masa Fuchi I know somebody has Fuchi. Am I missing anyone outside the gaigin? Roster seems sort of thin.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679330 Well isn't this refreshing.....I will get a list of complete rosters when I get home from work.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679335 Wouldn't we need an All Japan booker too and those two do a draft of talent, same as in North America?
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679337 I think Japan is fine the way it is with their natives plus they were in a cold war so they weren't trading talent.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679341 I think Japan is fine the way it is with their natives plus they were in a cold war so they weren't trading talent. For now.. jumps happen later, promotions split up and form a new in the future.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679347 I like the idea of having a Japan booker as well. This is a nice twist.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679359 A couple notes: Tiger Mask retires on August 12. The Cobra is on my roster and should be removed from this list.

June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679413 Verne is ok with this move as long as he gets 15 percent of whatever AWA talent is paid while in Japan.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679415 Verne is ok with this move as long as he gets 15 percent of whatever AWA talent is paid while in Japan. Joe Blanchard would never concoct such a scheme and although it is now great trading partners with the AWA, if a certain popular balding blonde haired wrestler were to become upset at this 15% take Joe would have no choice but to inform said wrestler that Southwest Championship Wrestling wants it's roster to wrestle in Japan as much as possible and for as much money as they can make and would never take a cut.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679423 Allow me to also say I'm on board and looking forward to utilizing some Japanese talent on my major shows if this comes off

ICW is also not taking a cut of his brother's Japan booking, brother.

Irreverent, if elderly bald golden monster can take his money, I can bald old man take his money. So that means Inoki is like a brother of Eddie Hogan too? Awesome. Eddie has somewhere to stay during his Japan tour.
