Yeah, anyone on the list is available via draft rules. I've been nice so far not picking off the USA/JAPAN list of women and focusing on the Japanese list. There is two I love on that Japan/USA list, so I think I will take the other one when you grab one of them. However, maybe I'll be nice and stick to the Japan list.

WCW has Madusa.... Hopefully not. I didn't put all the women in the draft, b/c I'd like to assume AJW or GAEA is still running (like AAA & CMLL & WWC are) in the background.

By the way, I am ectastic with how this draft is going!!! Terry Funk this late is a mega steal! Grand Slam Tournament Hayabusa Masato Tanaka Mike Awesome Big Boss Man Mr. Gannosuke Sabu Terry Funk EDIT: Hakushi (almost forgot about this!!) in a round robin tournament filled with street fights and barbed wire matches and explosions. This is going to be freaking epic!

I could easily see him in Tier C in 1995. He wasn't a name in ECW till 96 and AJPW he was very low on the card.

RevPro is proud to bring in THE HEADHUNTERS!

Shoichi Arai heads to the stage to announce the next FMW pick. *translated from Japanase FMW is proud to announce the signings of a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and the King of the Death Match, the legendary Terry Funk. Terry Funk heads to the podium. Sabu, you little jack ass piece of shit! I have fought and destroyed you all over the USA and FMW has the gal to pick you before me! You are nothing put a scared little boy and in the Grand Slam tournament I am going to embarass you and send you running back home to Bombay to that freak Sheik! After I ruin you, I will take my rightful place as the King of Hardcore wrestling and claim the Brass Knuckles Title! Funk then slaps Arai and throws the podium over before leaving the stage.

Patriot was a former WCW tag champion at the time, so not that big... Kanyon was a jobber, so that is iffy. He did say he wanted to fill out his undercard, before going back to the top... but yeah, draft Tracy Smothers instead!

Rob Van Dam was left off the list, but accident. He was about to get his big push in 96, but by 95 had some fun underneath AJPW matches and had tryouts in WCW. Was a talent. Should we wait and put him up as a rookie for that in September, or add him to the draft now?

So yeah... Revolution Pro's owner is now Ian Rotten, who will essentially run IWA-MS in Los Angeles with the help of Americans between tours from FMW! How awesome is that going to be?

FMW selects the man and the mystery, Jinsei Shinzaki!

Revolution Pro is up next to pick and out walks Ian Rotten. Everybody is talking about FMW and ECW as companies that know what hardcore wrestling is. Nobody knows hardcore wrestling like Ian Rotten. If anyone wants to come to Los Angeles they can see the true revolution of hardcore wrestling!

Fucking bring it! If Hayabusa can prove himself in the Grand Slam tournament, then he can prove it anywhere. Also if any chumps from the UWFi want to show up for the Grand Slam tournament, then they can be embarrassed by the most bad ass wrestling in the world's history.

Shoot vs Sleeze!

Speaking of songs, I may or may not have spent a lot of time thinking about which songs to assign my new signees. I'm thinking something SRV for Dustin Rhodes, for example. By songs, I meant matches.............. odd. Yeah, ECW was very good with theme music. It's awesome that you are taking that into account. I am excited for what you give to the Lightning Kid!

Really can be the worst and the best of wrestling.

Just downloaded all of the FMW songs on ditch's site. In 1999 there is a 5 on 5 Elimination match between FMW and BattlArts, holy shit!!!

Just gave you RevPro and FMW picks!

Talent raiding is kind of laid out in the rules. Essentially once a month one bigger promotion will attempt to raid talent and a die will determine if they get them or not. It will switch to a new promotion each month. When new talent becomes available, rookies get drafted by the Tier C/D promotions, while people coming back will be worked into free agency (will need to hash that out too). I am open to suggestions and we can figure this out. Probably take this discussion to the rules thread.

Things are looking good in SMW! Actually most rosters look pretty good now (well WWF is getting there, but they had some bad... luck). UWFi still looks like the most bad ass company though. I do really love how everything has worked out for FMW. Everything is aligning for what I wanted.

Yeah, you are losing out with people stealing the underneath ECW guys. Their is a fine line between making a roster you like and keeping a roster that feels like the company you are in. So far so good, but yeah, you need some guys like Dreamer.
