WWF Would like Andre the Giant on August 5th for an MSG special.

All set.

I think this was just a how do I get involved in the project thread. No worries.

I updated the roster database and the free agency list. Double check both for your rosters and then let me know if there is anything that needs to be fixed.

I don't think we need to overthink this whole thing. Deaths are more important than retirement as most of the main guys will be around. If it is truly questionable, do your own check like most of us have and make the moves needed.

Whatever the list you sent me is what I put on there. I won't have time this weekend to update if someone else wants to and then send me the list.

Thanks to Kev for double checking on our Free Agents. The list is updated with individuals who are active and those who were not were taken off. Please make sure you take note of that on your own rosters using cagematch or wrestlingdata. Thanks!

He is just asking about him. Albano is counting as your 20.

Ricky Gibson is his 20th guy... Looking forward to what you put together Boon.

Here is Boon's preliminary roster... Knoxville Preliminary Roster Bill Ash Dirty Rhodes Doug Vines Jeff Sword Phil Hickerson Tommy Lane Mike Davis The Flame Matt Borne Billy Travis Dan Spivey Ken Lucas Ron Starr (Mr Wrestling) Roy Lee Welch Larry Hamilton Josh Stroud Gene Ligon Tony Falk Billy Spears Ricky Gibson He has the choice to pick up one more person... free agency is back open for all those concerned.

You can go ahead Boon and pick up 20 guys from Free Agency and get going if you'd like. I am sure we'd be more than willing to throw you some more if you want to stick around. Free Agency will be on hold until you pick your 20 on the FA thread.

In 3 weeks

WWF News -A very interesting weekend for the WWF as the World Heavyweight Title tournament started along with another joint promotion with Lutte International. Vince McMahon is very excited about these joint shows and the WWF sees this as a smart business move for the foreseeable future. INs & OUTs -Gene Okerlund made his debut in the WWF over the week as he was in the event center. It looks like the WWF made some sort of a deal for him out of the AWA. -The Masked Superstar has returned to the WWF and looks to be receiving a major push. He is primed to be a number one contender for the World Championship. -Dynamite Kid is back in the WWF and has immediately been rejoined with Davey Boy Smith. The Bulldogs except to be a major team in the future. -Jimmy Hart has signed a deal with the company.... no word on who he will be managing as of yet. -Jimmy Snuka also returned to the WWF. He was already on tour teaming with Hogan and Atlas against the Heenan Family. -Hector and Mando Guerrero are going to be coming into the WWF as a team in the future. No word on if Chavo will join them down the line. -Rick Rude has been released from his contract. Management felt wanted to see if he could get some more seasoning before coming back in. -Even though they will be on television tomorrow, William Regal & The Missing Link will be off television. They shot a double angle in the main event for Superstars to take both men off television. WWF on the Road -The WWF has just signed a deal with the Kiel Auditorium to put out television tapings there once every five weeks. Word coming out of the WWF is that they would like to sign one more town for television tapings but it may not happen until 1985. They would like to have a 6 town loop to help with markets in the Mid-West. There is no talk of the WWF holding live shows in the area yet, but it could happen with the roster continuing to grow. WWF on the Networks -The WWF has signed a deal with the PRISM Network to show some of the Philadelphia house shows. This along with the Madison Square Garden shows on the MSG Network. Word coming through is that the shows from the Meadowlands may also be aired as specials. If the WWF is able to add in two more major towns, every show from MSG and Philly would be televised but the companies feel that once a month is a good start but they would like every 5 weeks to separate out due to other sports broadcasts.

Yeah, in 1984 they were doing television tapings from St. Louis so I figured this would be an organic move.

So since St. Louis is back open... would it be too much for the WWF to move into St. Louis for television tapings as it was in real life?

This is kind of a trade too but just stay with me... 1. The Missing Link has finished his dates with the WWF and has decided to stay in Toronto and go to Lutte 2. Hector Guerrero moves into Missing Link's spot on the roster 3. Baron Mikel has retired and only has like 3-4 matches in the future so he has since been removed. 4. The WWF is signing Big Fred Ottman and putting him in a jobber pack

Heenan: You’ve got that right… tonight in Toronto history is going to be made… Gino Hernandez is going to win back the Intercontinental Championship! Gorilla: Don’t count those chickens before they hatch… Rick Martel is a great champion and I have no doubt he will walk out with the gold tonight. Fans we have got a prime time contest to get us going this week… it is Davey Boy Smith vs William Regal! Let’s go to the ring! Davey Boy Smith vs William Regal w/ Lord Alfred Hayes -This match is seen one more time and this time Davey is pretty handedly able to take apart William Regal. Lord Alfred is just screaming at Regal and we see Davey Boy finishing things off with the big POWERSLAM for the 1…2…3! We see Davey leave the ring as Lord Alfred comes in and he is not alone. Here comes the Barbarian, The Viking, and The Missing Link! It is a 3 on 1 beatdown! Gorilla and Heenan put it over as the crowd then pops when Davey Boy runs back out but he is not alone… THAT’S THE DYNAMITE KID! Gorilla exclaims that the British Bulldogs are HERE! They battle off Lord Alfred’s Army and help up Regal. Davey Boy and Dynamite help up Regal who shows his gratitude. *COMMERCIAL* -WC is back with Gorilla and Heenan putting over the arrival of Dynamite Kid and William Regal’s actions.

Gorilla says he is full of it as we go to the ring. Rick Rude defeated Shawn Michaels -A fun showcase contest for Rick Rude who looks very good tonight.

Rude is writhing in pain but he gets up and is able to finish the match with the Rude Awakening for the 1…2…3! Rude is in a bad way… *COMMERCIAL* -WC is back with Gorilla and Heenan putting over the injury to Rick Rude. Heenan says that Rude tore some ligaments in his knee and would be taking some time off. He puts over how there is an injury clause in his contract and with the money he made off of letting Rude go, he was able to cash in for his “BIG SURPRISE.” Gorilla still says he is full of it as they turn their attention to the tag team titles. They put over the Cage Match tomorrow night in Philly and Gorilla says that there is no way he would ever want to be locked inside a steel cage with the Koloffs, especially Nikita. Heenan talks about the experience of the Briscoess and says that experience only lasts so long against talent like Nikita. He talks about Ivan being a former world champion and that will be all that is needed for him to win the tag titles one more time! They talk about the team that is next in line… Cowboy Bob and Dirty Dick Slater… they are in action. Cowboy Boy Orton & Dick Slater defeated Barry Horowitz & Brady Boone -A nice contest for Bob and Dick who have turned into one of the premiere tag teams in all of wrestling right now. Bobby Heenan drops a little nutshell and says that Slater and Orton were in talks with him for management but there was someone else who came in at the last minute and possibly signed the deal. In the end we see the SPIKE PILEDRIVER for the 1…2…3 and that’s all she wrote. Orton and Slater may be next in line but when will they get the shot? *COMMERCIAL* EVENT CENTER Mean Gene: Welcome everyone to the WWF Event Center I am Gene Okerlund.

We hear from both men regarding the big contest this evening in Toronto! Gino Hernandez: For a month I have been away from that Intercontinental Championship. Rick Martel, unlike last time, I am prepared for our match tonight and brother lemme tell you something right now I am going to take what is mine! For a month people have asked me when I am going to get it back and brother tonight is the night. I am leaving Toronto with the gold and there is NOTHING you can do about it! Rick Martel: Gino Hernandez, I sometimes wonder if you are a hot air balloon with all the hot air you blow. There is no doubt that you are a good wrestler, but you cannot beat me and you will not beat me! Tonight, I am wrestling in front of all my hometown fans and I am going to defend this title for each and every one of them! WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS Mean Gene puts over the World Tag Team Title contest tomorrow night in Philadelphia as it will be a STEEL CAGE match between The Briscoess and the Russians but this time it will be Ivan and Nikita!

Gorilla says he is the IC champion and not even Gino Hernandez can change that! Gorilla and Heenan put over the action and talk about tomorrow’s big Superstars with results from tonight’s World Title Tournament action!

Thanks for the kind words Gene, i feel like I am just getting into a groove with this roster and making some moves to put it right where I want it for the foreseeable future. I will continue to put out the best effort I can with these guys, they deserve it.

IIRC, the reason that Regal was allowed in the first place was that one of the promoters wanted to bring him in as a rookie and slowly bring him up. That promoter left soon after, so we will never know how that would have played out. Exactly... I mean you see pictures from him in 1984 and he doesn't have a WWF look. He has a good exit this weekend in my shows but I just could justify him.

Hector Guerrero comes to the WWF for Jose Estrada

Gosh you have formed a great Memphis roster here. I think this is the most authentic roster we have. I am interested in seeing Brad and Bob do work with Lawler, Dutch, and Dundee along with the Rock N Roll Express. It is a very powerful group of babyfaces and the heels can come in and out with no questions asked. Great stuff.
