Yeah, that girl was something. The make up was well done. The work was not.

Why in the world is Jimmy Havoc still employed? Watching his match from Dark this week, which is basically a glorified squash, I guess to try and get him over. His offense looks like shit, his total lack of tan or any muscle definition looks like shit, his Goth of Seagulls haircut with noticeable bald spot behind it looks like shit. I've literally been to a hundred indy shows with guys that look just like him doing the same gimmick and all they are good for is bleeding as well. Not to mention this feud with Dr. Luther that absolutely no one gives two shits about. Can we fire these two losers, and use the money to get someone with a "dark/odd" gimmick that actually works? I hear Su Yung is a free agent now.

I am really sorry about this Kevin... WWF drops Butch Miller and Luke Williams and picks up Paul Roma and Jim Powers.

WWF drops Rene Goulet and Tony Garea and adds Butch Miller and Luke Williams

Now to post the big one!! WWF sends: Animal, Hawk, Jacques Rougeau, Raymond Rougeau, Armond Rougeau, Abdullah the Butcher, Lex Luger, Bob Roop, Moondog Spot, Moondog Rex, Sika, and Kokina MACW sends: Davey Boy Smith, Dynamite Kid, Kamala, Paul Orndorff, Scott Casey, Johnny Mantell, Steve Doll, Jimmy Snuka, King Tonga, The Iron Sheik, and Nikolai Volkoff

It's the same as the reaction of everyone running out to buy up all the milk and bread when there is a threat of snow. You don't need the toilet paper, but you might need the toilet paper. The hand sanitizer is a whole different story. My wife is immune compromised, so she uses the stuff multiple times daily as part of the many things she does to protect herself, and now every idiot under the sun is hoarding it, and we can't find a fucking drop of it. Expect bottled water, canned food, and boxed food to disappear off the shelves next if this gets worse. and to get back to wrestling. I fully expect them to postpone WrestleMania at this point, unless they want to run it in front of an empty arena.

WWF sends Sailor White to St. Louis for Bob Bradley WWF sends Johnny Valiant to the AWA WWF releases Swede Hanson, Phil Hickerson, Rick McGraw, and Afa (Manager)

WWF will sign Bobby Jaggers (I know I am over the limit, I will make a bunch of cuts as soon as the draft is over)

He was indeed that one that Hunter came out and gave the Thumbs Up too while the crowd chanted "Please Sign Cedric" He would definitely be a better use of AEW funds than Jimmy Havoc or Dr. Luther

WWF would like to sign Barry O Also, in potentially the most Earth rattling, ground breaking trade in the history of this game or any other.... WWF sends Gene Ligon to Mid-Atlantic for Jose Luis Rivera

When the tumultuous alliance between promoters that stood as the unified AWA for one full year finally came crumbling down at the end of 1984, no one was surprised. While the different promotions have begun to position themselves for what appears to be a wrestling war in 1985, securing television deals and locking up talent, the World Wrestling Federation has been shockingly silent. They had been promoting a January 5th super show on their Superstars of Wrestling television show, and then when that evening arrived, HBO showed the 1984 hit film Ghostbusters instead, without a mention of the previously planned airing. In reality, a blizzard in New York had caused the postponement of the show. HBO executives already confused by what the AWA alliances failure meant for the future of the wrestling company in which they'd invested, now had a Prime Time Saturday Night time slot left vacant by the company, and subsequently terminated the contract to air the WWF's television programming. The WWF pushed on with it's touring schedule in January as owner Vince McMahon began to seek out a new television deal, but the problems for the World Wrestling Federation were not over. The Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal, the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions, walked out of the company and headed to Japan claiming they saw the "writing on the wall" with the failure of the television deal. The Fabulous Rougeau's would soon follow suit, choosing not to stay with the company after the agreed terms of their deal came up. With talent leaving, and no television, things weren't looking good for the former Northeastern powerhouse. Then, a chance encounter turned things around as Andre the Giant and Jim Belushi encountered one another late one night in a New York City bar. After the two shared several rounds (and we mean several), Belushi contacted Lorne Michaels about having the Giant appear on Saturday Night Live. Once all parties (including Vince McMahon) agreed, Andre ended up hosting the February 2nd edition of the show, and it was one of the highest rated episodes in the history of SNL. NBC President Dick Ebersol seeing the potential of "these wrestlers" then made an agreement with Vince McMahon to give wrestling a shot on NBC, and the first network edition of Saturday Night's Main Event was scheduled for May 9th, 1985. With the news that the World Wrestling Federation would now be aired on broadcast television, Vince McMahon began aggressively shopping the Superstars of Wrestling show to networks across the United States to air in first-run syndication beginning in mid-March. In a matter of weeks, networks across the United States had picked up the show, giving McMahon an influx of cash to hire on new talent and prepare the WWF to enter the wrestling battleground of 1985.

Nope

That was a fun match, but FUCCCCK, I don't want to see him taking those kind of bumps.

Except I don't think they remember how to book like that anymore, because everything feels exactly the same. Raw, Smackdown, Backlash, Wrestlemania..... they just regurgitate the same matches with the same people, over and over again. Why would anyone pay 60 or 70 bucks for a show headlined by two guys who have already wrestled each other 6 times on Raw in the last 3 months.

Mostly, I just think Isaiah Scott, and Cameron Grimes, and Bronson Reed are boring, uninspired, unneeded names for guys who already had a reputation.

Do you know the dates yet? I can probably send down a team.

Trevor Lee was one of my favorite acts on the indies for several years. A guy who could work with anyone, charisma for days, and just really fun to watch all around. It seems like they have taken all of that, thrown it out the window, and given him a gimmick based on a fucking hat. I don't understand why some guys get to come in and keep their gimmicks, and some guys have to become Cameron Grimes and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott.

He was still able to use him as The Great Kabuki though, correct?

100% This. If Brock had failed his Vikings try out, then gotten his ass handed to him in the UFC, he would either have disappeared into the wilderness to hunt forever more, or he would have ended up in TNA or Japan, because Vince would have never looked at him again. I fully believe that the current state of WWE is all because Vince McMahon got his feelings hurt when his "Next Big Thing" in Brock Lesnar decided he didn't want to do it anymore and took his ball and went home. That is when the focus of the company changed from making stars to making the company the star and we've had 18 years of them knee capping every single person who showed the potential to be the next big thing, or even remotely started to get themselves over without the companies permission. (Sure there was John Cena, but with his charisma and attitude he was destined to reach the levels he did, but if the company was behind him like they'd been behind a Hogan or Austin, think about where he could have gone.) Then when Brock did come back, Holy Shit, he's getting perks the likes of which have never been seen before, and likely never will again. They can spin whatever version of history they want on their show, but the fact is that Vince is Brock's bitch.

A one off Super Dragon brawl with Cody or someone would be amazing.

Technically he is not. At one point both Edger and I had a Great Kabuki listed on our rosters, and neither of us particularly wanted to part with him. I proposed a solution where I would give up the Magic Dragon from my roster, as according to Gary Hart's book, unmasked Dragon and Kabuki looked so much alike when painted up that they were nearly identical. Thusly, they would double book The Great Kabuki in separate parts of the United States, and no one was the wiser. So we agreed that as long as the two Kabuki's never appeared in same territory, there could be two (never distinguishing which was which) up until the time of Magic Dragon's death in 1987. If we happened to make it that long, we figured we'd figure that shit out then!

As far as I know Super Dragon is still just exclusively running PWG these days.

WWF will drop Salvatore Bellomo and pick up S.D. Jones

Could the WWF please drop Grizzly Boone and pick up Swede Hanson
