Posted July 31, 20187 yr comment_5859247 As some of you know, I'm currently having a blast with the 1983 Project as we're having tons of fun with the stuff we're doing. But I was curious to know if some people here would be interested - and believe it'd be feasible - to add a 2018 Project to the Armchair Booking section. Of course, we could modify the rules and guidelines to reflect the current state of wrestling today but I'm just kicking rocks to gauge people's interest.
July 31, 20187 yr comment_5859250 I'd be up to split the wwe with a couple of people for raw, sd, and NXT...

To take people's suggestions and set it up as we can all be comfortable with it. The trickiest part would be rosters, given that indy talents are working several promotions at the same time, we could have to find a way to make this work. I'm definitely not excluding any part of the world, like if some people would like to book Japanese or English promotions for instance.
July 31, 20187 yr Author comment_5859253 As an indicator of how I was seeing things, if this comes to fruition, I would run Impact Wrestling. No draft to start. You take the current roster as it is and you tweak it the way you want it to. I'd definitely be encouraging special free agent bookings, legends appearances and working agreements. The objective would be to run it as smoothly as we could do it IRL.
July 31, 20187 yr comment_5859255 2018 would be a great idea but 2001 would be great also especially if you start it from the day after the last nitro but the only downside would b the indies part with the number of them at the time.
July 31, 20187 yr Author comment_5859256 Yeah, that's why I went with 2018. There are lots of choices that'd be available for everyone everywhere: USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Europe. For instance, I'm more comfortable running Impact Wrestling than I'd be with current WWE with the roster split and everything. You'd pick whatever promotion and start from there. You build your roster and schedule as you wish.
July 31, 20187 yr Author comment_5859261 Nice, first interest for a UK promotion! :) If I get enough people interested and secure rules & guidelines, I'll start a thread where people will be able to secure their promotion
July 31, 20187 yr comment_5859265 been a Proud Englishman I loved World of Sport return this week good old family fun so id be more than happy to do either World of Sport or NXT UK either would be cool
July 31, 20187 yr Author comment_5859267 We'll see in due time. I hope to see an international presence in that project
August 1, 20187 yr comment_5859386 You could also split WWE into specific brands (if necessary) where one person does Raw, one does SmackDown, and one does NXT. Unless someone is bold enough to do all three, in which case, I salute you, whoever you are.

Unless someone is bold enough to do all three, in which case, I salute you, whoever you are. That's was definitely one of the caveats we discussed. At least 2 people for the WWE with a third if they wanted NXT. I'd be up for doing a major brand and working with someone else on it for sure.
August 1, 20187 yr Author comment_5859419 Yeah, I was also thinking that way. Also like the idea of running NXT & NXT UK as one brand.
August 13, 20187 yr comment_5861923 I'd be down to run a Japanese promotion if this gains enough interest.
December 6, 20186 yr comment_5872675 Not enough interest? If we think of doing 2019, I'd do a Canadian promotion. SMASH or whatever.
December 11, 20186 yr comment_5872912 Seems like enough people responded with interest for this to have some legs?
December 11, 20186 yr Author comment_5872918 I hadn't seen this thread for a while but looks like we could give it a go and have some people join in in the process later. Should we do a roll call to see who'd be officially in? So far, it would be: -myself -superkix -Grimmas EDIT: LowBlow is starting up another project on another board (which I'll take a part of as well) so he's out. Right now, I suggest to wait again to see if it generates more sustained interest.
December 12, 20186 yr comment_5872952 If there is interest I would like to run one of the WWE brands, and would be open to running a 205 Live show if it was available too.
January 5, 20196 yr comment_5874683 We could even do old school territories or promotions. Like WWF/WCW/ECW or whatever but with current talent if we wanted.
