I'd like to sponsor that nomination. The more the merrier.

I don't like the idea of mixing reality with fantasy so much here. If the gaijin workers have to make the dates they worked IRL, then the Japanese talent should follow suit in my opinion. If we want to make the Japanese talent available for select dates they didn't actually work, then we should have a separate draft for them or put them into the freelancer category.

I don't like where this is going...Stu Hart had fostered a relationship with NJPW in the early 80's that took years to bring to fruition (and it's literally one of the only highlights of Stampede Wrestling).

Right on, I misread your post in the other thread.

This is a thread to discuss all business related to the National Wrestling Alliance. The board will need to elect a President and determine dates for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (among other titles) to be defended. Stampede Wrestling is requesting to rejoin the NWA, with Stu Hart as their representative.

Maybe true, but Bret is skin and bones, he needs the extra dates at this point. This is nothing but experience and exposure for him.

Would anyone object to me drafting Davey Boy and Dynamite as a team? They worked 7/1/83 as a unit, literally the first date I can find of them teaming.

RocketCrypt is up next.

I am wondering about Japanese talent, as Stu didn't work with many outside promoters, but he did bring in some NJPW talent. If we're forced to send our boys overseas to make their dates, it seems only fair that foreign talent can be booked for the dates they appear. Thoughts?

Since there is no benefit to being an outlaw promotion in this game, I vote we either create 2 leagues (NWA & AWA perhaps) or that everyone has a chance to start out in the NWA.

The Hart brothers had to get up extra early this morning to hang these new posters around town:

I thought about that but I have the third pick in the 2nd round and there are a few guys I want more than Patera.

I'd definitely like to have Stampede re-apply for membership in the NWA if we are going that route.

Needless to say, Stampede is not one of the more prestigious promotions. Hell, they don't even make it out of the gate in '84. So my initial thought was what we really need is star power, preferably heel star power. Sgt. Slaughter immediately came to mind running an anti-Canada shtick, but he was drafted. Then I had the brilliant idea to bring in the Freebirds and recreate solid gold by having the Harts play the Von Erichs. Again, no dice. So I looked less at star power and more at overall work rate and adaptability. You can play Blackwell anywhere on the card and he'll fit. Since he's a favorite among many on this board, I scooped him up in the first round.

Coming soon to the Stampede Corral in Calgary, Alberta...it's "The Man from Stone Mountain" Jerry Blackwell! Get Your Tickets Now! (there may or may not be a live bear involved at some point)

I think i should be able to Draft The Cobra at least for the dates he worked Stampede.

July 2!

What about The Cobra? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Takano wrestled in Stampede in 1983

not sure what will happen in 1984, maybe Parv will get to absorb my roster

I'm Stampede. We'll keep Bret Hart.

yeah I'll take Stampede

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ValWHAeqyM Gonna go ahead and plug my own channel by posting my own edit of the original Empty Arena Match, pulled from 3 different video sources. This is the most complete and uncensored version of the match. 34 years ago today! I also have some classic matches from 1980's AJPW and WWF on there.

I'd really like to book CWA if I could.

I'm in!
