That insinuates that there was quality to begin with.... Nothing says quality like Earthquake match of the week!!

Yeah, it's hard to stand out. One of the reasons the Super Show has taken a long break this year just to give a break and to make sure the quality is there when we return.

I would do something like (assuming TNA is dead). Matt Riddle Chris Hero Zack Sabre Jr. Anthony Henry Fred Yehi Jonathan Gresham Jimmy Rave Mike Bailey Tyson Dux David Hart Smith Brent Banks Josh Alexander Allie Kimber Lee Rosemary Gail Kim KC Spinelli LuFisto Jade Heidi Lovelace Veda Scott Leva Bates Mercedes Martinez Tessa Blanchard It's crazy how much talent is out there. Limiting men wrestlers is very very hard.

If you were to start a promotion with money as no issue (you can have as much as you need) what would be the 16 wrestlers you would pick to start. Let's say available talent, so no WWE, NJPW, or ROH contracts, because those people seem stuck. Who would you build around and why? This is basically an excuse to talk about all the great talent out there that is not signed up.

They probably knew that the WWE and others were looking to acquire indie wrestling content and felt that the change in direction was inevitable, so they tried to move first and strike a favorable deal for themselves. WWE invested 20+ million dollars into this service, so I doubt this is a thing.

Hi all Tier C & D promotions! It's time for the rookie draft! Talent available: Kenny Kaos Robbie Rage Tiger Ali Singh The Blue Meanie Chip Minton Christian Cage Edge Dawn Marie Jamal/Umaga Rosey Lenny Lane Onryo Reckless Youth Matt Hardy Jeff Hardy Shannon Moore Trent Acid James Mason Alex Shane We will have two rounds, then rest go to free agency. Round 1 SMW: Hardy Boyz USWA M-Pro MTW: Chip Minton Stampede Round 2 MTW Stampede M-Pro SMW USWA Start drafting here. After the rookie draft, Stampede will pick their roster using free agency and that will re open up. Plus.. it's time for Stealing!!! Original rules: Every month the Tier A & B promotions will rotate through one attempt to steal a talent (ie WCW one month, WWF next, and ECW the one after, followed by WCW again). The player can pick one talent from an equal sized or lower tiered promotion to steal. A die will determine if they are successful or not. If the talent you want to steal is on the same tier and is top 6 for that company, then the player selects one number between 1 and 12. Two dice are rolled if that number comes up, they get the talent. If the talent you want to steal any other talent then the player selects one number between 1 and 6. A die is rolled if that number comes up, they get the talent. So.. WCW pick what promotion you want to steal from. If it's a WWF person who is in their top 6, please let me know. You don't have to say the person here. I will roll the die and we will see if you are successful.

The price is cheaper than the current way to watch Evolve which shows indies charge too much

Free Agency is temporarily closed until after drafts. Info coming tonight!

FMW Fall Spectacular, Night 2 October 24, 1995 in Akagi, Gunma, Japan Citizen Gym Super Leather & Jason the Terrible with Terry Funk vs. Katsutoshi Niityama & Masayoshi Motegi A simple squash to show how dominate the top tag challengers are. No Holds Barred: La Parka vs. Maxx Payne La Parka wanted to show Matsunaga that he is just as dangerous as Mr. Danger. Parka blooded Payne up and they brawled all over. Parka draped his steel chair with barbed wire and nailed Payne in the head for the win. He challenged Matsunaga to a Death Match of Matsunaga's choice for the show on the 28th. Double Inoue vs. Shark Tsuchiya & Crusher Maedomori Kyoko Inoue pins Shark to win for her team and is ready for MegumI Kudo on October 28th. Jinsei Shinzaki, Hisakatsu Oya, & Rick Fuji vs. W*ING Kanemaru, Daisuke Ikeda, & Koji Nakagawa Kanemaru tried out two new partners and it was promising, but Shinzaki pinned Nakagawa for the win and to keep his momentum going into the 28th title shot against Tanaka. Kanemaru said he will give Ikeda and Nakagawa another chance. Masato Tanaka & Sabu vs. Mike Awesome & Mr. Awesome Double Awesome picks up the win after a miscommunication between Sabu & Tanaka. Afterwards they almost came to blows, but shook hands afterwards. INTERMISSION! Shinobu Kandori vs. Cutie Suzuki Kandori destroys Cutie on way to victory. Terry Funk with Super Leather & Jason the Terrible vs. Horace Boulder Boulder is outmatched by the three men. Hayabusa and Boss Man run out to get rid of Leather & Terrible, but that left Funk alone with Boulder. Funk made Boulder submit to the Spinning Toe Hold. Megumi Kudo & Combat Toyada vs. Mayumi Ozaki & Chigusa Nagayo A tough battle back and forth. The WWF and FMW Women's Champions squared off for the first time here and the battle was instense. Combat pinned Ozaki with the Thunder Fire Bomb. Horace Boulder

Rumour turns out to be FloSports running an app that streams indies for 20 a month. Their goal is to get everyone not with WWE onto their service.

Stampede should probably be Tier C with Bruce Hart as owner.

Which brits are you thinking? If we are adding brits on mass, we probably should do a draft to correspond with the rookie draft. Actually, I will plan this all out tomorrow and start that up. Rookie draft, free agent draft, Stampede roster, and the first attempt at major companies stealing.

Pick from free agency and start whenever you are ready! I will message the ECW booker to see what is up. If he's done, then ECW is all yours.

That is awesome Scarlet!

Jimmy Hart and Gene Overlund seem like the two on the ballot who are the biggest omissions.

What a waste of an AJ match, quality wise. However, it might do something to get him more over if done right.

I like the idea of an expansion draft.. maybe we have to expose 4 folks off our roster and a new promotion can pick one from each roster and then make the rest of their roster up from Free Agency. Just remember we can't expose wrestlers that can't work in that area. So if the new promotion is Stampede in Canada, the four people you expose can't be all Japanese exclusive folks. Free Agency is the other option, but not as fun.

I wrote in this thread, is that cool?

Dear Parv and Allan, one of my brother's favourite wrestlers was Bastion Booger. Where did he come from and why didn't he last? Wasn't he unbeatable with his hump, so nobody could pin him? Was that a real or fake hump? Tell me everything about Bastion Booger please, it will make my brother's day!

Goldberg's return and promo were awesome! So excited for one more ass whooping by Goldberg on Brock.

Stampede seems like a good option. Maybe we should do an expansion draft, where we each expose a handful of folks and Stampede can make their roster by picking one from each roster and from the free agency list?

FMW Fall Spectacular, Night 1 October 17, 1995 in Minokama, Gifu, Japan Minokama Central Gym La Parka, Ricky Fuji, & Hisakatsu Oya vs. Mitsuharu Matsunaga, W*ING Kanemaru, & Horace Boulder W*ING has started tested out team mates for his tag title shot on the 28th, but this night did not seem too successful. Matsunaga focused on La Parka and was not a great partner. Parka and Mr. Danger brawled all over and were a bloody mess, which left it as Boulder & Kanemaru versus the tag champions. Fuji played face in peril, but Oya came in on the hot tag and got the pin on Boulder. Jinsei Shinzaki vs. Maxx Payne Shinzaki gets the win in a warm up match for his title shot on the 28th. Chigusa Nagayo, Shinobu Kandori, & Cutie Suzuki vs. Shark Tsuchiya, Crusher Maedomori, & Mayumi Ozaki A really good women's tag to showcase Kandori's debut. She picked up the win on Crusher. The Gladiator Mike Awesome w/ Mr. Awesome vs. Masyoshi Motegi After losing the title at the finals of the Grand Slam tournament, The Gladiator has returned under the name Mike Awesome. He has lost the face paint and gained a new second, the masked Mr. Awesome. Awesome destroyed Motegi here. Super Leather & Jason the Terrible vs. Ktsutoshi Niiyama & Hanzo Nakajima The two foreign monsters destroyed the young guns of FMW. Double Inoue vs. Combat Toyoda & Megumi Kudo After the war Toyoda and Kudo had on the last show at Korakuen Hall for the title, they decided to put their differences aside for a renewed focus on tag team. However, Double Inoue have more experience as a team and were able to pick up the win when Kyoko Inoue pinned Kudo. She challenged Kudo to a title shot on the 28th, which Kudo accepted. Masato Tanaka & Koji Nakagawa vs. Sabu & Daisuke Ikeda Sabu shocks everybody by pinning the FMW World Brass Knuckles Champion for a second time in two nights. Chainsaw Charlie w/ Super Leather & Jason the Terrible vs. Big Boss Man w/ Hayabusa A big time brawl here, but the numbers game on Charlie's corner was enough to give him the win with a moonsault through a barbed wire board. Boss Man and Hayabusa really need to find a third partner for their match on October 28th.

They have those every year. He could mean a card with all or mostly Survivor Series matches. Which this will not be. There will be 3 matches, plus you have Goldberg-Brock and I am sure others. Hopefully they do add a Cruiserweight Elimination match too, then maybe each show can do their own Survivor Series matches with the folks left over. Either way, there will be atleast one non-Elimination match. You know what though, 87/88 with those huge tag matches with 5 teams on 5 teams were some of the best Survivor Series matches ever, so I am excited even if it means nothing.

They have those every year.
