Grimmas, when you get back, can you make a page with the list of promotions... saying what tier they are along with who they saved? I'd do it, but this is your project so I don't want to step over and be in control of that stuff.

WWF (Bruno) is up

Hulk Hogan #1! New Japan #1! Axe Bomma #1!

Yes you could... sorry for the observation.

Why wouldn't you? Hogan is the only other logical choice if you didn't want Bret. You could alays go for Nash but why wouldnt you have saved him over Sid? Austin is the most logical choice and fast tracking him to his most popular iteration seems like the thing to do.

He will go to wwf...prolly become stone cold too early... he's hard to pass on.

He is such a dynamic character at this point that could of literally went anywhere and been big time and changes the scope of a promotion. Part of me wishes he could drop to tier 2 and see him be the catalyst for someone to just go crazy with Hulk Hogan

I figured would could go here for any talk on the draft. Love the tiered system and love the tiered draft availability. New Japan has some serious options there at number one... Could Hogan return to New Japan? Could they steal Hansen from All Japan? Could he go after some highly sought after Japanese talent? How about WWF? Who will they look to pick up from the scraps from WCW? Will Savage return to the WWF like he was always rumored to do? Could Steve Austin make that immediate jump before the time is right? How about All Japan? With its rich history of Gaijin workers, how will the cap let them fare? Do they go straight for the Americans or do they try to keep their own? Will Hansen or Williams return? Could they do the unthinkable and bring in Fujinami? Then there is WCW... they let the golden goose go with Hogan but it appears as though they have a different path to greatness. Could it include the Excellence of Execution? If the smart money is right... he will be there for the taking. How about someone like Kevin Nash? Could he jump over at the height of his popularity and even bring the title with him? Could Steve Austin fall to WCW as a chance for them to rebuild what could have been? Boys this is going to be an exciting couple of rounds of action... how will the chips begin to fall? New Japan is on the clock!

Sounds like MACW is ruling the NWA roost itself.

Yeah, but we could look at some of the Japanese and Mexican guys who came to the US and use them...

Which is why they could remain as "freelancers" We could maybe add others to the freelance list but just unsure of who they would be unless we opened up some japanese or mexican guys for the list.

I am sure he could finish his career with AJPW especially with the Tag Team League in November.

And that is fine. Just need your input on the future of this facet of the game. If the amendment with Andre and the Women works, let us know. If you think it should stay the same way it is now we can go that route.

As is Jumbo Tsuruta

Dr. Death is missing from the others list

Okay, so unofficially Change to eliminate freelancers and put then into the draft 3 - Kevin, Fenton, & Edgar Keep things the way they ar 3 - Bruno, Rain, & Boon What if we just added Andre and the Women to the free agent list... Then kept Abdullah, Hansen, Brody, and Mil Mascaras on the list? Would there be anyone to add to that list in 85 who would have been used the same that we could add on?

It is a small thing that may not make much sense... but Brutus Beefcake should be in the other category... if Hogan went to Japan, who would carry his luggage? Plus Ed Leslie did do tours but its something to be discussed.

Available for either Japan or America for Tier A/B promotions. But is he active or do we have to wait to use him? He didn't technically wrestle from August till the end of the year...

He may be in flux, but what is the ruling on Vader for the draft?

Let's see how the draft goes and see if it needs to be popped up. 5 should be a good star depending on who's available and such.

That will make it interesting to try and get talent... looking forward to the lists so we can start some planning.

Is this realistic? It would prohibit AJPW from trying to recreate their real-life roster. Yeah, I may have some issue with looking at what their roster was... Abdullah Johnny Ace Dr. Death Hansen Giant Kimala II Patriot Furnas Bobby Duncum Jr The Fantastics... I think 5 may be too small... I plan on moving the guys around outside of tours but there were a lot of foreigners here.

Mascaras has a few shots here and there in 85 but could still be a freelancer Abdullah, Hansen, and Brody still fit the freelance mold Andre is really the only one who had a steady job with the WWF but still did some shots (like we discussed this could be up to his owner) The minis are basically not being used so someone could corner that market The women are interesting as I know that Lutte and I personally wouldn't mind beginning a women's division.

Sorry Boon, you seemed undecided... do you have a specific way you'd go on the matter?

(3) Lutte, MACW, & USWA - Yes (1) Portland - No Let's see what AWA and Memphis has to say about things
