Maybe just post your cliff notes until ready to post fully again?

The souths hottest feud (possibly?) is available to you Kris, current reigning and defending Southeastern Heavyweight Champion "Dirty" Dutch Mantell versus former champion "Bullet" Bob Armstrong.

Normally with these things I'm done already, the initial draft and excitement of booking stuff does wear off. But I'm still really enjoying it. I did plan out my main angles week by week but made sure I still had stuff to think about week by week to keep interest high. I found planning stuff out in so much detail for months in advance that means you end up just writing and not really thinking (thinking being the fun part). That's sort of why did the AWA thing, just so I could have a bit of fun and the creative juices keep flowing. This weekend I just got smashed and couldn't even pick up a laptop to type let alone do any justice to this weeks telly.

Have had a massive blowout this weekend so this weeks Southeastern will be a little delayed.

Pretty certain peachchaos is going with Marty Oates as he's already made a post about him and he's agreed too loan him to me. So we could move on...

I'm cool with, like I said before just playing devils advocate with it. Marty Jones and Rollerball Rocco won't be lighting up the cities of Alabama anytime soon...

Fair point Kris.

Playing devils advocate, same could be said for Japan, could it not? Outside of a handful guys, we wouldn't of got Misawa etc over in 1983?

http://www.itvwrestling.co.uk Have results for 1983 TV, so a list shouldn't be too hard to put together. I think we should handle them very much like the Japan farm system, we can't cripple the UK market by picking up everyone and wouldn't be realistic. Maybe the maximum tour they can have out here is 2 weeks every 3 months, or something along those lines. Unless we can find someone to book for the UK?

Yeah that makes sense. I'm going to try and put together a list of British wrestlers from 1983, and hopefully we can tour them... I just want to book Kid Chocolate in Alabama...

Where does Finlay go when not touring with New Japan? Or is he just part of their roster?

No longer does GCW stand for Georgia Championship Wrestling more like Gentleman's Club Wrestling it seems...

Great show, Johnny Rich pulling double duty in two states. Tommy just didn't have enough to finish off Buzz, will Jake have enough I wonder. What a big day in Georgia with 3 shows and the World Champion.

I have that issue, so i generally go for a core of matches for the week, and then just mix them up so feuds are still relative.

Can we start the September Debuts Draft soon, just so we can get stuff in place...

Tuesday 9th August 1983 Expo Centre, Mobile, AL Bell Time 8pm **** The ring announcer before the first match announced that "Dirty" Dutch Mantell captured the Southeastern Heavyweight Championship from "Bullet" Bob Armstrong last night in Birmingham. **** 1, The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) and The Latin Lovers (Javier Cruz & Vinnie Valentino) go to a 10 minute draw in an even contest that could of gone either way. 2.
