I believe that's old French wrestling if twitter is to be believed. The Young Bucks took quite a liking to them.

He could have been taken in the draft without the loss of a roster member but he's a free agent. You're fine.

I'm gonna put the Breaks special on you until you edit his name in....

Oh ok. I didn't know the Non-Wrestler votes were separate from the 10. Shame on you for not going for the full 10 and adding Jim Breaks then! It's funny how Ted DiBiase went in by fiat due to how great he's supposed to be but I couldn't see an argument that he's better than Breaks.

Aren't you only allowed to vote for 10?

Current Free Agent List is: Terry Garvin (the old one) Big Red Reese Don Kovlov T.G. Stone Abe Jacobs

Abe Jacobs is already off the Memphis roster, he was replaced by Paul Peller. I forgot to update that on the roster thread, I'll do that now. That happened in the Free Agency thread.

Alabama is right next to Georgia. No one fits with Puerto Rico, that one was never going to fit.

That was my argument for why you and WWF should be linked up but you kept arguing against it because you said Parv wasn't going to drop out and you didn't want to be linked to him.

Big catch up effort here. Glad you're sticking around, despite the fact I had the most to gain by you leaving. Really like the promo from Bad News on the episode from the 13th. Tito, Kevin & Kerry vs. Studd, Kamala & Kabuki sounds like a pretty awesome 6 man tag. Some good matches in the first round of the Texas Title tournament on the 20th, good use of outside talent. Another big time 6 man tag main event too. I liked Al Madril's debut and that you're using him as a heel. Just something very unlikable about Alberto Madril that makes him an awkward babyface. Ken Timbs doing a hip swivel?? That's even worse than Jimmy Del Ray. Interesting stuff with Coage seemingly wanting to make a friend out of Al Perez. Star Wars was a good big show with a main event that would have sold plenty of tickets. It's a shame Tito & Al Madril feud is already over. I'm sure Alberto will be a man of his word and leave Tito alone now. Bad News as the Texas champ is going to be interesting, I'm sure he'll enjoy rubbing it in Fritz's face.

Despite dawho's protestations I'm gonna go ahead and announce now that the deal was Charlie Cook for Larry Hamilton. If anyone is still using spreadsheets you can update it. I'm announcing it now because I moved things around and don't really have a spot to work Larry Hamilton into right now, so I'm offering him up to anyone almost anyone who would like to bring him in for a month/2 months or so. I'll give you at least 2 weeks notice before I look to bring him into Southwest. Not looking for anything in return.

Yea the rule for the takeovers was you had to leave at least 1 person per promotion for a dispersal draft. Doesn't mean you can't leave more, just that it had to be at least that many from the dead promotion's roster and yours.

Off hand I know that ICW & Mid-South are unaffiliated. I'm part of the AWA (along with rainmaker obviously) I'm not sure what's going on with Memphis they have both NWA & AWA titles?

Very sad to see Larry Hamilton's career end. I wonder if he'll eventually be able to overcome his injuries and get some revenge on the Stud Stable. That 6 man tag between The Armstrongs and Fire, Flame & Torch sounds like money to me.

I don't really love it but I was trying to stay somewhat realistic in my usage of Brody. I wanted him to lose but it's not like Brody was going to take a totally clean loss so the stairs thing was a bit of an out.

No thanks

I'm only interested in doing my TV and my weekly HemisFair show. With the length/word count of my shows I'm already doing enough work just to keep up with that.

If someone could maybe post the guide on what towns to run. Do we even have coverage in the west? Could we look into those towns if we're near? I'm thinking Nebraska Colorado Nevada Utah. What are the dos and don'tsee on running and expanding in that sense? Post in this section of the board about places nobody is running if you want to run them. Maritimes was open and dawho and i made a deal to even them up. If somebody wants to run Colorado, lets make sure the closest companies agree. Let's not totally close out possibilities of fun territory wars, everything ain't gotta be brotherly love. You wanna run somewhere just start running it.

We just told LowBlow he couldn't move to Georgia to trigger the absorption draft of Mid-South so it wouldn't really be fair to let Grimmas move to WWF and then absorb Toronto.

Thanks chief. Looking forward to see what you do with Florida, if you need any help getting started let me know.

Masters starts shouting at him for his lack of cardio and decides to start the match himself due to Tiny sucking wind. Ken Lucas & Mike Masters start the match with Masters doing his usual routine of flexing while avoiding contact. Lucas is fired up, likely due to the beating he took from The Texas Dynasty on TV and continues to chase after Masters only to be pushed back by the referee as Masters gets himself in the ropes. Finally Masters is able to bait Lucas into a trap and blasts the veteran with a big clothesline as the referee was pushing him back. Masters quickly follows up the advantage with a bodyslam and then tries a big leaping elbow drop but Lucas rolls out of the way and Masters lands hard on the mat. Masters gets up holding his arm which leaves him open for a big right hand from Lucas which staggers him and then Lucas grabs him and whips him into the ropes and ducks down for a back body drop but Masters stops himself and blasts Lucas in the face with a big kick. Masters then whips Lucas into his corner and tags out to Tiny Anderson. Masters holds Lucas in the corner from the apron while Tiny Anderson gets a running charge and splashes Lucas with an avalanche in the corner. Anderson puts a headlock on Lucas and grinds on him on the mat but Lucas rolls him into a pin and almost ends up with the 3 count as Anderson has a hard time getting his shoulder up due to his weight. Anderson decides he's too vulnerable down on the mat and pulls Lucas back up to his feet in the headlock and when Lucas tries to start breaking out with forearms to Anderson's back, Anderson shifts around to get the referee out of position and then blasts Lucas with a big punch that breaks his momentum. He does this a second time but gets caught by the referee who forces him to break the headlock! Anderson tries to maintain the advantage by whipping Lucas into the ropes and going for a back body drop but Lucas leapfrogs over him and makes the tag to Eddie Gilbert! Anderson tries charging at Gilbert but Gilbert side steps him and then blasts Tiny with a dropkick that staggers Anderson back into Gilbert & Lucas' corner. Gilbert climbs on top of him and blasts him with 10 punches and Tiny Anderson staggers forward and collapses. Gilbert goes for the cover but Masters runs in and boots him in the head to break it up. Masters gets pushed back to the apron by referee Juan Reynosa and he starts shouting at Anderson to make the tag. Anderson tries to make his way to the corner but Eddie Gilbert waist locks him from behind to stop him. Masters quickly tries to come into the ring which causes the referee to focus on him and Tiny Anderson takes advantage of the distraction by kicking backwards right between Gilbert's legs! Gilbert falls down holding his groin which allows Anderson to make it to his corner and tag in Mike Masters. Masters comes in and tries to immediately cover Eddie Gilbert but Gilbert kicks out at the count of 2!

Masters drops him and stumbles blindly towards his corner where he makes the tag but at the same time Gilbert has crawled to his corner and tagged in Ken Lucas! Lucas comes in and blasts Tiny Anderson with a punch that puts him on the mat and then ducks a charge from Mike Masters that sends Masters careening over the top rope! Anderson tries to catch Lucas with a cheapshot as he's turning around but Lucas ducks it and locks in the Sleeper Hold on Tiny Anderson!

Winners: Eddie Gilbert and Ken Lucas in 12:09 after Tiny Anderson passed out in Ken Lucas' Sleeper Hold Bill Ash vs. Roy Lee Welch - Ash jumps Roy Lee Welch the second he enters the ring and immediately starts to pound on him! The referee calls for the bell and Ash starts off all over Welch!

Ash starts to target the neck of Roy Lee Welch, clubbing him in the back of the neck with forearms which drops Welch to the mat and then dropping a knee on the back of his neck. Bill Ash pulls Welch up into a seated position and then puts a Lotus Lock on him, exerting tremendous pressure on Welch's neck! After looking like he's about to pass out from the pain Welch makes a last ditch effort to push back with his legs which causes him to end up on top of Ash with Ash's shoulders down on the mat, forcing Ash to break the hold in order to get out of the pinning predicament!

Jose gets tagged in and immediately Apollo wants to come back in but Jose tells Mascaras not to tag him in. Jose tries to make peace with Mil Mascaras, offering him a handshake, telling him that El Gran Apollo is the outsider and that he, Mil and Mr. Mexico all share the same Chicano blood. Mil gets angry with Jose and shoves him away. Mascaras points at Mr. Mexico and shouts "embustero!" and he and El Gran Apollo get the Spanish speakers in the crowd to chant along, much to the chagrin of Jose and Mr. Mexico. Mil turns his back on Jose for just a second to keep the crowd going with their chant and Jose takes the opportunity to blast him in the back of the head with a rabbit punch. Mil stumbles around into a series of jabs from Jose and then an uppercut and drops to the mat. Jose quickly climbs on top of him and starts hammering away on him. Jose makes the tag out to Mr. Mexico who quickly comes in and puts Mascaras in a front facelock. Every time Mascaras starts to work his way out of the hold, Mr. Mexico positions himself away from the referee where he can't see Mr. Mexico turning the front facelock into a choke. El Gran Apollo finally has enough of it and comes in and blasts Mr. Mexico with a right hand that breaks the hold but while the referee backs El Gran Apollo back into his corner, Jose and Mr. Mexico make an illegal switch and Jose puts Mascaras into a chin lock.

Brody goes stumbling backward and Duggan picks up the wooden steps and smashes them into Brody's face which sends Brody flying backward into the barricade. The fans in that area scatter as Duggan comes charging at Brody and hits a Spear which causes that section of the barricade to break lose, sending both men flying into the first 2 rows of chairs! Both men are down and tangled up in chairs. The both start to slowly get up, with Duggan getting up first and pounding on Brody as he pulls him back towards the ring by his hair. Duggan tries to slam Brody's head into the ring apron but Brody blocks it and slams Duggan's head in the apron instead. Brody reaches under the ropes and grabs the 2x4 and pulls it out but Duggan grabs the other end and they start to have another tug of war with it. This time Brody lets go, catching Duggan by surprise and sending him flying backwards. Brody quickly grabs the wooden ring steps gets ready to charge at Duggan as he's getting back up.

The lucha set was probably my favorite 80s set and I'm really bummed by how little participation there was and the fact that it seemed to totally die off without even getting any results. I asked mookie on twitter the other day how many ballots he got and he said he only got 12
