Grimmas

Really happy that they are trying different things. The backstage desk interviews (on Smackdown) is different than the in ring interviews Raw is doing. I'm really surprised on how they are doing this. SD has been really fun and Dean is less comedy, which means he is AWESOME.

To update, we have (so far, tenatively) Starting September 1st 1995 (conveniently when the MNWs actually started). Scarlet-Left = WCW I Broke Bruno's Neck = WWF Grimmas = ECW Wahoos Leg = SMW toproplepodcast = USWA kevinmcfl = Mason Dixie Wrestling

Compltely man.

IWA-Mid South would be available (it can start a year early) in the Indiana/Kentucky area. Death matches and a huge training ground (Hero, Punk and Cabana came from there). APW in California (Christopher Daniels, Michael Modest prmotion) is available. Outside of that, really any thing could be made. It's indies, pick an area and go for it. we could even open OMEGA with the Hardy Boyz in the Carolina's if that is an interest. Basically though, I'm sure we can find an indie to run an area in the country with monthly shows. I was thinking too, the advantage of the indies would be they get to draft the rookies that debut. It would be a nice constellation prize, for losing talent to bigger promotions from time to time.

Awesome. That is the exact year I was hoping for. By the way, after thinking about it, announcers should probably be linked to their promotions.

The problem with just doing AJPW, is in 95 we need NJPW, WAR, and FMW at the very least. Japan is so loaded at the time, that you would need as many players as in the US.

It looks like Wahoo's Leg might be picking our starting point, based on what promotion he wants. Once he does, we can hash out rules (I have some cool stealing talent ideas) and I can make roster lists. I do think, because the promotions are on tiers (WCW/WWF, ECW/USWA/SMW, others) that we should protect more than one person to start. I'm thinking for protection, everybody gets their owner and then the below for whatever time period we are starting with. Tier 1: WCW/WWF Protect 4 wrestlers and 1 non-wrestler or 3 wrestlers and 2 non-wrestlers. Tier 2: USWA/SMW/ECW Protect 3 wrestlers and 1 non-wrestler or 2 wrestlers and 2 non-wrestlers. Tier 3: Everybody else Protect 3 pieces of talent. Of course, you have the option to not protect anyone. All I want in these protections is to avoid anything insane like Randy Savage headlining a once a month small indie. Are people in agreement with that, or is that me being too picky?

With the draft, I'm sure those indies will be filled with the Godwinns and Smoking Gunns.

Glacier, Wrath and Mortis is what brought me into watching WCW, not the nWo. I thought the whole "Blood Runs Cold" thing was freaking awesome and is a neat way to introduce a whole new division to a company. If they kept it strong long enough, a Glacier vs Goldberg match would had been HUGE!

Anybody who wants to pick up an indie to do about one show a month and wants to do some 90's stuff, check out the Monday Night Wars thread in the booking main section.

Lawler is a great ace and who knows who can slip through the cracks in a draft.

Starting shows with a Sasha Banks promo and a ten minute Sasha match is how every wrestling show should start. Rusev-Reigns is exciting, although I don't like the idea of Rusev losing the title yet.

Japan would be an option, however there is a LOT of promotions in Japan. So, we'd need a few more players to want to do that as well. You'd need AJPW, NJPW atleast covered. Probably a big other company as well. Other thing is tours and how the booking would look like there, but that's a separate issues. More interest is needed to expand out that far.

So far... Scarlet-Left = WCW I Broke Bruno's Neck = WWF Grimmas = ECW Wahoo's Leg = ??? Lots of options for time period. Weekly TV promotions: USWA is available whenever we start (95-2000) SMW is available if we start in 1995. WWC is available whenever we start (95-2000) Monthly show promotions: IWA-MS is available if we start in 96-2000. APW is available whenever we start (95-2000) CZW is available if we start in 99-2000. JAPW is available if we start 97-2000. OMEGA is available if we start 97-2000. Of course other indies starting up is no big deal. One thing I want is for people to play for the promotion they have. If you are WCW/WWF you are the big time. If you are ECW you are the up and coming promotion. If you are an Indy, you are an Indy. Don't really want Hogan in OMEGA or WWF pushing Low Ki in 2000 as their Champion or anything. Of course I would love to start with a draft, probably Sept 1st. How talent moves around is something that needs discussion as well. In 83 most promotions are equal, so trades, re-drafts make sense. In the late 90's, there is no way IWA-MS is stealing talent from the WWF. Will have to figure it out.

Remember picking WCW or WWF means a show up every monday and a ppv once a month

Preferred year? Preferred promotions? There can be weekly tv promotions (WCW, WWF, ECW) and one or two shows a month promotions (Indies). As long as I get one of WCW, WWF, ECW then I'm good.

I've been a big fan of fantasy booking and I have tried to get back into it, but I am unmotivated without the team project that was the 1983 game. I could join up on the '83 game, but it has become something that is of no interest to me. I'm glad people are into it, but the original idea was unsustainable. Due to time period, mostly. What am I proposing? A similar project to the 1983 project, but set in a year between 1996 to 2000. That way you only need three players that have to do weekly tv and a monthly major show in WWF, WCW, and ECW. The rest of the players can have small indies that either do weekly TV or a show once a month. That way there can be more casual and serious players involved in the project. Is there any interest in this? I have ideas for rules and such, but I won't go into that unless we get at least two others (I can take any of the major three).

Was there going to be a Vince McMahon Tribute show, or am I making that up? That would had been amazing.

Heading into August, I will add separate top tens for Raw, SmackDown and NXT men, as well as the overall ranking.

http://placetobenation.com/rankwwe-07-2016/ Here is my old school PWI kayfabe attempts at rankings for the WWE in July. I hope everyone enjoys!

101 - The Miz 100 - Frank Gotch that's enough.

ZSJ is great and looked to be the best on the show to me. Either way, one match does not make a worker.

So happy seeing Tyson Dux on WWE TV.

If you didn't think Russo was stupid enough, he hates squash matches too.

Ambrose vs AJ (Title) Cena vs Miz (IC) American Alpha vs Bray/Rowan Usos vs Vaudevillians Becky vs Bliss Orton vs Corbin Kalisto vs Ziggler Apollo vs Del Rio You are right, it is not easy.
