I've been recasting gimmicks for years, this should be a fun show.

Then. Now. Forever.

The Assassin Fidel Sierra is The Cuban Assassin. E: I will not poke the bear.

Already taken.

Yep. The list has been torn.

I had my eyes on The Grand Wizard, but truth be told he dies in October.

WAHOO MCDANIEL Coming Soon to Stampede Wrestling! Thurs 7/21, 7/28, and 8/11 (Vancouver) Fri 7/15 (Calgary) As part of a talent exchange with NWA Maple Leaf Wrestling, Wahoo McDaniel will make four appearances for Stampede; Jerry Blackwell has agreed to work four dates for MLW to be determined in the future.

NWA Stampede Wrestling (a member of the National Wrestling Alliance) Stu Hart 435 Patine Place Southwest Calgary, Alberta, Canada 403-555-4278 *****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***** SCHOOL IS OPEN AT THE HART FAMILY DUNGEON World Famous Wrestling Trainers Now Accepting Students Calgary, AB -- Retired professional wrestler, trainer, and promoter, Stu Hart, of NWA Stampede Wrestling, is opening his house to train ambitious young athletes who aspire for excellence in the sport of professional wrestling. Along with fellow trainer and wrestler, Mr. Hito, Mr. Hart has been very successful in training budding stars at the Hart Family Mansion in Calgary. Such trainees include current Montreal superstar Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and even Hart's own children. The grueling course runs 4 weeks and classes open in Mid-August, with the trainers accepting applicants immediately. But this training is not for the weak at heart. "To be a wrestler", Stu says, "You have to be able to take as much as you can dish out. My sons - including Bret, who is now working as far away as New York and Japan - has taken every ounce of punishment and torture Hito and I could dish out, and it has made him a very capable grappler. We train to prepare, because once you step into the ring, you're on your own in a world of pain. It takes a special kind of person with guts and heart to be a wrestler. We're looking for the next generation of those special fighters." Hart noted that this is technically a "finishing school" for those already initiated in the training process. The hope is to attract talent with only 2-3 years experience to come to Calgary and hone their craft in the world famous Hart Dungeon. Among the young stars already training with the Harts are the hard-hitting duo from England, Davey Boy Smith and "Dynamite Kid" Tom Billington, who will provide additional support for trainees. "A lot of people think they can do what we do simply because they see us on television", Billington remarked, "but the fact of the matter is it takes years and years to get to the point where you're not laying on the mat, staring at the lights every night. I challenge anyone that thinks they've got what it takes to learn the basics and then come up to Calgary and show us what you've got." Stampede Wrestling runs live events every Friday night at the Victoria Pavilion and airs on television Saturdays on Channel 32.

NWA Stampede Wrestling and NWA Maple Leaf Wrestling have agreed to a short-term talent exchange: Wahoo McDaniel will appear on (4) upcoming Stampede shows (Thurs 7/21, 7/28, 8/11 and Fri 7/15) and Jerry Blackwell will appear on (4) Maple Leaf Wrestling shows (dates yet to be determined).

Thanks, Boricua.

Do the match databases like cagematch ever stay up for more than a day at a time? Is there a better resource out there? I want to know what Kazuo Sakurada was up to in 1983 since he didn't make the list (unless he's being called Kendo Nagaski).

Never heard of Petipas but he sounds like a great get.

Check the NWA Stampede Wrestling thread for a press release sent out by The Harts concerning training at the Dungeon. A three-week course would prepare your rookie talent for the grueling realities of the sport of wrestling and give them the prestige of training with the World Famous Hart Family. Tuition is free, provided we can showcase the rookie talent on TV and house shows for a period of three weeks.

I'm in.

Just kidding, at this point I have to wait 40 picks and he'll never make it that far.

Shhhh.

Stu will offer any talent in his locker room for the July 4th tournament in Missouri. Maybe do one of the American boys a favor and bring them home for the holiday?

Thornton was pretty far down on my list, even at this point.

Yes, easily the best thing I've seen from Stampede.

Les Thornton was also on the radar! I'm really glad I got Stomper now.

seemed like more people in general would be into Oliver since Portland is pretty over around here and I knew the next pick was right around the corner

Midnight Stallion (Mongolian Stomper) but in Calgary, he is known as Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie

*Rip Oliver
