Grimmas

Probably a good idea. Not sure how we do it random though?

So yeah.. brought up in the free agency thread. Any thoughts on this.. I am all for sticking with major injuries, deaths and retirements as in real life.

YES!

We have some news from the new Revolution Pro Wrestling promotion that will be opening in Los Angeles, California with their first show at the Los Angeles Convention Center on September 11th. This news comes from Ian Rotten, the promotion's owner and former ECW star, who called into a local radio station. He claimed he left ECW because Paul Heyman was a cheap piece of shit who wasn't giving him his proper money. That was not the only problem, as he was pissed at ECW abandoning the hardcore revolution to bring in luchadores and technical wrestlers. "Those folks are fine in moderation, but where are the barbed-wire matches? Where is the blood and guts. ECW is quickly becoming a promotion of pansies and I had to get out of there!" Rotten said. Why Los Angeles? Rotten explained that LA was always on the cutting edge and now they will be on the cutting edge of wrestling too. The Los Angeles Convention Center will become the new home of the hardcore revolution and it will all begin on September 11th with "The Start of Something Big"! The main event does seem like a hardcore dream match as Rotten teams with Terry Funk and Super Leather to face James Mitchell's team of The Headhunters & Jason the Terrible in a Street Fight. What does Rotten promise from this main event? "Blood. Guts. A true revolution of hardcore!". Revolution Pro Wrestling will not only be about hardcore blood and guts, but a proving ground. Rotten wants wrestlers to be given a chance to show who they truly are away from the cartoon lands like the WWF and WCW. The former Rad Radford, Louie Spicolli, and the former Hakushi, Jinsei Shinzaki, will get a chance to shed their comedic sides and be the kick ass wrestlers they really are. They are scheduled to square off on the 11th. Rotten wants to focus on untapped talent and he believes Spicolli is a future top star in wrestling. When questioned about bringing in The Brooklyn Brawler and The State Patrol, Rotten said that "there is a place for comedy in wrestling, especially if the comedy ends in blood.". Rotten ended the interview hyping up unheralded talents like Pat Tanaka, Maxx Payne, JT Smith, Boo Radley, Fidel Sierra, Flash Flanagan, Ricky Santana, and the team of Rex King and Steve Doll. All great talents who have been wasted by various promotions. Revolution Pro Wrestling has lofty goals and we will see how they play out on September 11th.

La Parka will be a slow build to such major stuff. In 1995 he was a popular underneath luchador and this will be his first tour of Japan. It will take time before he's main eventing against Hayabusa (however him vs Sabu or Hayabusa will be a big future goal). This first tour (in September) will be to establish La Parka has someone the fans want to see. In 95, he is nearing the end of super worker period. I feel I have a short time with him in a top role, so he will be featured quite well in the beginning. Boss Man might not be too happy with having a serial killer in Super Leather on the roster....

Think about Casas is he is in college, so he's only available for occasional shows.

So glad a touring company will be putting out shows before me. Gives me some perspective before I unleash FMW to the world.

I picked him up in the draft, but happy to drop him... Oops missed that. He's still yours if you want him.

That's a weird thing to say. Especially since Kawada has worked against guys like Rob Van Dam & even was in HUSTLE. Plus... Bayley's offense looks so much better than Michaels.

Yeah, M-Pro can take him of course. Sorry about the mess.

A mistake on my end. Wait... isn't Yamada=Liger? If not, who is he?

Yamada to AJPW... Remember the new rule going forward, where you can only pick up one free agent (sign one guy for a show/tour) every 24 hours going forward.

Updated rules. Bolded new/fixed items.

Like that.

Yep. Just don't go too far into future

What's funny is that I had no idea it was a bad schedule, I just copied FMW's real life schedule. I guess,what were they thinking?

August 24, 1995 It's been three months since Shoice Arai took over as president of FMW. With that move and with the retirement of Atsushi Onita, FMW has started to lose it's edge. It's hard to believe that on May 5th, FMW ran it's largest show in front of 58,250 fans at Kawasaki Stadium. The new generation of FMW took over on the next tour, led by stars like Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka and The Gladiator. To make matters worse, the FMW World Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship is vacant. After Onita retired, the title was vacated, but since then Hayabusa became champion. However, he was forced to vacate the title on June 27th, the same night he won it. Here we are, two months later, and the title is still vacant. The last few months can not be considered as transition period, as things are changing and the second great era of FMW has began with the hiring of Grimmas the FMW match maker. This ended Arai's idea of running a more sports entertainment style of promotion. From here on FMW will be the home of all wrestling styles. From the classic FMW death matches, to great technical wrestling, to high flyers, to lucha libre, to shoot style, to joshi, in FMW you will see it all. With FMW's new focus, there has been a challenge changeover. FMW has kept on the talented: Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka, The Gladiator, Hisakatsu Oya, Ricky Fuji, Super Leather, Mitsuharu Matsunaga, Koji Nakagawa, Katsutoshi Niiyama, W*ING Kanemura, Horace Boulder, Megumi Kudo, Combat Toyoda, Crusher Maedomori, Shark Tuchiya, and Miwa Saito. On top of that great talent, FMW will bring back former FMW stars in Mr. Gannosuke, Sabu, and Terry Funk. If that wasn't enough, FMW has scoured the world to bring you fresh new talent in the form of: Big Boss Man, Jinsei Shinzaki, Daisuke Ikdea, La Parka, Hanzo Nakajima, Yuji Yasuraoaka, Takako Inoue, Mayumi Ozaki, and Chigusa Nagayo. With all of this talent the next tour from September 14th to 26th will be huge. Over the whole tour their will be an eight man round robin tournament with the winner becoming the new FMW World Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Champion. Competing in this FMW Grand Slam will be: Hayabusa Masato Tanaka The Gladiator Terry Funk Sabu Big Boss Man Mr. Gannosuke Jinsei Shinzaki Whoever can survive this grueling Grand Slam will truly be worthy of champion. With the new leadership in FMW, rules will now be enforced with twenty counts on the floor and disqualifications in place. However, all of these rules will be waved in every Brass Knuckles Title match as well as in this tournament. Select matches will also have special stipulations, to be announced soon. There will be a press conference on September 13th before the tour stars with all the talent from FMW. Including Damian 666 from Mexico, The mysterious Headhunters, and WWF Women's Champion Monster Ripper, who will be on the upcoming tour. Stay tuned for future announcements regarding FMW and this tour in this very thread, as a new day has arrived! All of this talent is ready to prove themselves and you don't want to miss a moment of it.

Holy shit, can we recreate The Giant-Hogan match from Halloween Havoc 95?

You folks are kicking ass here with new concepts and ideas!

The issue with that is that songs don't usually have previous released songs or poems or books written before hand that make that song either worse or better.

The problem with giving the whole show a grade or even a match or angle is those are individual chapters in a larger story. The issue in wrestling is that each match is a chapter, but a TV show or PPV make up a variety of chapters of different books. Summerslam was filled with final chapters, second chapters, sixth chapters, ninth chapters, etc... how would you even go about grading a book if it contained a variety of different chapters from different books inside of it?

It's not the issue of it being a botch, it's how it looks. Rick Steiner "botches" a suplex by throwing someone to high/far and drops them on their head. It's reckless and dangerous, but it makes him look really strong. Bayley not being able to pick Asuka up just makes her look frail and weak. Or exhausted from a grueling match?

This is why the old DVDR workrate reports were perfect. Simply one section for what worked, one section for what didn't.

Ok, this hand's down makes the whole project worth it. I am so excited for this and this style!
