I am putting a temp hold on free agency, we have a potential new writer. More to come shortly.

Hopefully that's me.

Yes talk with me and pm and we'll work out details.

Bruno's Neck is going to be joining us... he will be taking these 20 guys to start with for Portland Wrestling.

 

As part of the process, Bruno will need to post shows for 4 consecutive weeks. If he follows through with that, he will be allowed to max out his roster at 45 people and then also begin Trades and Loans with other promotions. I ask that we keep that rule so we don't have as much roster turnover when getting someone new involved.

 

Here are his 20 guys

 

1. Koko Ware

2. Scott Armstrong

3. Steve Armstrong

4. Bobby Jaggers

5. Eric Embry

6. Captain Lou Albano (Manager)

7. Jay Youngblood

8. Mark Youngblood

9. Jonathan Boyd

10. "Killer" Brooks

11. Spoiler

12. Rick McGraw

13. Johnny Rich

14. Brett Wayne Sawyer

15. Blackjack Lanza

16. Tom Pitchard

17 . Pat Rose

18. Ken Timbs

19. Mike Jackson

20. Tonga Kid

 

Please adhere to the no loan and no trade agreement to help with turnover at this point. Thanks!

Welcome to the project, Bruno. Hopefully, you're gonna have fun!

Free Agency is back on now since his picks have been revealed for those of you who haven't picked today.

Hey guys, I had a hernia surgery today so I will be hanging out a couple of days. I will try and keep up with everything and clean up all the pages while I'm down.

Feel better!

So since St. Louis is back open... would it be too much for the WWF to move into St. Louis for television tapings as it was in real life?

As in the WWF would run shows in St. Louis? I believe I am the promotion nearest to St. Louis and I am fine with this move.

Yeah, in 1984 they were doing television tapings from St. Louis so I figured this would be an organic move.

As I discussed with Derek a bit earlier today, Lutte Internationale is looking to launch later this year the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup, a 32-men tournament featuring the best talents in every territory. Looking to do this a little bit later this year, probably around November (I ideally want to select dates that wouldn't overlap with any of your dates).

 

Just surveying the field if any of you would be interested. Feel free to hit me up for infos and such, whether here or in DMs.

When can I start to add wrestlers to the Portland territory?

In 3 weeks

Any danger of me being able to run a small promotion for a few weeks guys? Maybe longer if i get into the swing of things?

You can go ahead Boon and pick up 20 guys from Free Agency and get going if you'd like. I am sure we'd be more than willing to throw you some more if you want to stick around. Free Agency will be on hold until you pick your 20 on the FA thread.

Cool lets see how it goes, any objection to running the Knoxville/West Virginia area?

I don't think anyone runs in this area right now. Don't see why there would be any problem.

Looking forward to what you put together Boon.

Cheers guys, hoping I can get involved long time. I'll get up a starting thread later with more information.

Does anyone currently have The Mongolian Stomper?

can I pick up anyone? I have Albano as a manager.

He is just asking about him. Albano is counting as your 20.

Thanks to Kev for double checking on our Free Agents. The list is updated with individuals who are active and those who were not were taken off. Please make sure you take note of that on your own rosters using cagematch or wrestlingdata. Thanks!

Thank goodness you talked about checking cagematch or wrestlingdata for the rosters. I realized that there were in fact 2 Kendo Nagasakis and I was sure that Kazuo Sakurada was the only one using the gimmick. Peter Thornley also used the gimmick in the UK but there's a 10-year gap prior between 1977 and 1987 in which Thornley didn't compete. So, I think it should be important to keep in mind that Sakurada wrestled regularly until 2000 so we should be able to use him for a long time again.

 

So, officially, if possible, could we have mentioned that it is Kazuo Sakurada with the Kendo Nagasaki gimmick?
