Which in theory is great however you have guys like the Bulldogs who were WWF guys that went to AJPW while the others went to NJPW. Then you have the individuals who we have on our rosters who are touring talents who weren't initially with our promotions back in the 80s. I really think the best thing is what Gordi has done. Plain and simple. He has reached out to us and given us his touring schedule. If Thunderlips does that, he will get the same kind of response and we will give him the talent needed to make his tours special. When Bulldogs went to AJPW, they left the WWF. I understand, I just have a couple of other guys who would fall into that same type of thing. So as the WWF, I would have agreements with both AJPW and NJPW. I am more than willing to help them the best I can.

Or maybe only get them for the tour and do a little draft type thing or something along those lines from tour to tour

Exactly. I will just need your guys help putting together those lists for the Japanese talent.

The problem with that is that the Japanese promotions aren't allowed to be in the fresh face draft. I have said this multiple times... we are not going to give up US talent to come over and be Japan exclusive. There are Japanese free agents and fresh faces. We will work out those details. It is simply part of the process. There are a ton of Japanese wrestlers who debut in 85 and 86. If we figure out a way for them to be part of it... we can add you guys in the draft but only allow you to pick from the Japanese talent.

I think there was still some discussion to be had regarding the freelancers... in January it will be Brody, Hansen, Abdullah, and Mil Mascaras. Andre goes to the WWF (even though he'll tour) and MACW got Funk. All Japan Stan Hansen 3/29/85 - 4/25/85 , 5/10/85 - 5/16/85 , 6/28/85 - 7/31/85 , 8/23/85 - 8/31/85 , 11/23/85 - 12/12/85 Bruiser Brody 2/22/85 - 3/14/85 For New Japan Bruiser Brody 4/18 - 10/4-10/31, 11/15 - 12/11 These are now just details in which everyone can work out the other customizable parts. Thunderlips - I know you've been gone and this just kind of happened, but as long as you are, everyone is willing to work to make it out. I have guys already booked to New Japan and I plan on keeping a lot of the guys available for you for All Japan... just talk to us and we'll get it figured out.

Understand that the freelancers like Hansen will keep those predetermined dates. This change is for American promtions. You have complete control over your promotion and tours. You can keep them the same but now you work out deals to have Americans come over.

No problem. Get well and do work when you can.

I think it is your call. In reality you can pick those types of things... I think it does add some realism to the whole realm of things.

Awesome stuff all around. I would encourage communication with everyone to get these dates set up. Let's talk it out and get it figured out.

I misinterpreted this statement early when I saw it. For Japan, they can start whenever... but the plausible day would be in January. That way they could book the tour and then get the guys lined up for it. Since we are going Custom tour approach... it would behoove them to put some schedules together for us to work from. What i would recommend is going based off the tours in which the freelancers are going to be there, since those are set in stone for the most part. However, if we want to swap that up and make it completely customizable, we can go that route.

I am so excited about New Japan coming in. I am going to insert that comment for every new promotion because it is truly making this game better than it has ever been. With the hierarchy, with the tours, with the customization, this could be a great way for Japan to take over the wrestling world in 1985.

I am pumped to bring in Mexico to our game world. It can be such a different vibe than Japan or the US. With the honor that goes into Mexican wrestling, these shows will be can't miss.

We have been talking a lot about the Japanese and Mexican expansion while you continue to hold down the fort in Canada. Even with the move to the NWA, the WWF still looms in the background Great stuff from Lutte and I like the small spot shows you have popping up. Some really fun matches and good combinations.

USWA continues to rise to the top with so many of the top stars in wrestling in one spot. I like Edgar and really looking forward to what happens with this Gordy and Hayes feud. With something with that kind of heat... it is hard to keep both guys around after so much hatred.

I am ready for Starrcade and what may end up being a changing of the guard or the solidification of the greatest world champion in wrestling. Flair is on top of the world right now but you've got Barry and Magnum both coming up fast....

WWF Wrestling Challenge Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby The Brain Heenan in studio Matches from St. Louis, MO – Kiel Auditorium David Sammartino defeated Barry Horowitz -The rise of David Sammartino will be written about in the annals of time but his time in the WWF may not be as highlighted. He has got some very basic kills and is able to show them off in the ring. He just isn’t getting the rub from his papa that he would hope. We see him finish things off with the bearhug for the submission and the victory. *COMMERCIAL* Jack & Jerry Briscoe defeated Victor Rivera & Johnny Rivera -Jack and Jerry aren’t looking at spry as they once did. It is an interesting dynamic to see them in action but they know how to do it and get it done. A slick double suplex on Johnny Rivera spells the end for the 1…2….3! *COMMERCIAL* Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Brady Boone & Johnny Rodz -Studd and Bundy look about as dominant as ever. Heenan is absent as he’s down there managing but then he comes back up in the booth and just puts his men over in the biggest way. Boone and Rodz don’t have a chance as the AVALANCHE spells the end for the 1…2….3! *COMMERCIAL* EVENT CENTER Mean Gene: Ladies and gentlemen welcome into the event center I am Gene Okerlund.

We expect a tag team championship match up but I am told that Bobby Heenan has the contract for the Russians to take on King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd. I am one person who would love to see that contest. Another big contest will be the street fight between Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka. These two men have a complete hatred for one another and this will be the moment by which it will be ended. Let’s hear from Piper and Snuka… Roddy Piper: Roddy Piper here, main event material and here I am stuck with that savage Jimmy Snuka. Snuka, you are about as goofy and idiotic as they come. Man you just don’t get it. You keep trying to hurt me and I keep coming back. I am going to keep coming back and keep coming back. I am going to take you to the streets Snuka and make you feel some pain you never felt before… it’s time to get ROWDY! Jimmy Snuka: WHOOO WHOO! Roddy Piper… you want to call me dumb… you call me an idiot… these words mean nothing to me! Roddy Piper, we are going to clash brotha and I am going to unleash the Savage on the inside of me all over you. I am going to fly all over you brother and I am going to show you why I am the SUPERFLY! Mean Gene: A fight is going to be had when those two get in the ring. Another big time contest is going to be the Intercontinental Championship match between champion Gino Hernandez and the challenger, Randy Savage. These two men have been at war throughout most of the summer but there hasn’t be a clear-cut winner… we hope at the Brawl to End it All it is the end. The special piece of this contest is going to be the role of the women outside the ring… Woman and Miss Elizabeth… let’s hear from Hernandez and Savage… Gino Hernandez: Champion… that’s what they call me Savage. I am the champion… and I have been the champion for almost all of 1984 and brother I am going to jump into 1985 with this belt around my wait… with this Woman on my left and your woman… Miss Elizabeth on my right! There is not a damn thing you are going to be able to do about it brother. I am going to outclass you from the entrance to the ending bell. I have got an outfit that will make the men scream and make the women cream baby. You looking at the handsome half-breed and I have got the world in the palm of my hand… you are a simple ant in my world brother and I am laying the boot down! Randy Savage: OHHH YEAAAAAHHHH! Gino Hernandez you come out here and talk and talk and talk… maybe someone needs to shut you up… maybe that someone is me huh? Ohhh yeaaahhh… you uttered the words once again after I told you not too but you did it… yeah… you did it didn’t you… well Gino Hernandez, come the 30th of December inside Madison Square Garden…. There will be no words…. No words… there will only be ME and YOU… DIG IT! *COMMERCIAL* MAIN EVENT Tito Santana vs Omar Atlas -Tito continues to be pushed high up the card as Bobby and Gorilla really put him over in a big way. After the match is over, out of nowhere the Hart Foundation come out and attack him… Jimmy Hart is calling all the shots while the crowd erupts to see Brutus Beefcake come out to help him! They fight off the Harts as Gorilla says we may get to see this one in a tag match next week!
