Available for either Japan or America for Tier A/B promotions. But is he active or do we have to wait to use him? He didn't technically wrestle from August till the end of the year... I would think Vader was just waiting out his contract and waiting for his new contract... he's not like Road Warrior Animal who was sitting on due to injury.

Available for either Japan or America for Tier A/B promotions.

Yeah, not a hard cap. Just an initial draft cap. Don't want to have someone trying to run a Japense promotion with all American talent or something silly.

I think you should extend the cap to seven, because a cursory glance at WWF's roster month by month in '96 has them occasionally exceeding the limit. Even more so if you include Glenn Jacobs. Nothing is stopping future foreign talent. Just initial focus on home talent. If in one year WCW is half Mexican that is fine... Is what I am thinking. If people want it upped, fine though

All but Hansen, ace, death and can Ams were added for tour. You can have more by bringing in folks for tours

There will be three draft lists. USA, Japan, Either. As a Japanese promotion you can only draft from the Either and/or Japanese list. As a USA promotion you can only draft from the USA and/or Either list. There will be more draftable wrestler than what were on those promotions lists (WAR, RINGS, indies, etc..) In any event, you can only draft 5 wrestlers who were not born in your home country, no matter what list they are on. Of course you can add more non-natives on short term basis for tours and big shows from the free agents list. To clarify the moment the draft ends you can only have 5 wrestlers not born in your home country, no matter what list they were on.

The original ppv was going to be in late 96, but was ruined by the lesbian angle.

Perfect, yeah he was not on UWFi shows, but on NJPW and I think a WAR show around the time. Deals with other companies are up to you folks, so no obligation to deal with NJPW. Yes, you are starting Tier B. I really look forward to this... I imagine there will be some RINGS folks you may raid as well.

That's a nice beginning roster.

Yes! You get to keep the owner, Nobuhiko Takada (who is also the "Real" Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion). From there, you can protect three of the following members of the roster: Kiyoshi Tamura Naoki Sano Gary Albright Tatsuo Nakano Masahito Kakihara Yoji Anjoh Kazushi Sakuraba Yoshihiro Takayama Hiromitsu Kanehara Kenichi Yamamoto The rest of your roster will be determined in the draft.

I really have no problem with that as well.

Is there anyone in charge of any of the Mexican Promotions? If not, how would one get a wrestler booked? All good questions, that I am not sure how to handle yet. Rey and Psycoshis worked ECW, WAR and the Super J Cup. Things picked up in mid 1996, when WCW did the lucha invasion... any ideas. I think if no one picks up Mexico, let them in the draft. Just the ones who worked outside of Mexico though.

I think in Japan: Rings, UWFI and AJW should be ghost promotions, where the talent is only available on short term deals between their tours. In Mexico: AAA and CMLL should be the same as well. ie if you want Rey Jr, Konnan or Pyschosis then you have to work around AAA, like how ECW and WCW did.

I think it should be a request to move up system. If you have run the promotion for 6 months and want to move up, request it and it will probably be approved. Tier A: tv, ppvs, national Tier B: tv, almost ppvs, run in different parts of the country Tier C: tv, run in a territory Tier D: monthly shows only So, ECW, by this model, turns into Tier A in 1997.. so yeah, we'd have to come up with specifics, but it should be possible. Just not right away, and not skipping steps. USWA is not going to be on par with the WWF within a month or anything. By that same token, promotions could get smaller too.

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. Latest Wednesday.

As for strategy. Get 3-4 solid people in tags, strong style, death matches, and women and fill it out with whoever is left. Hopefully some that can overlap a few divisions. The key strategy is to see how to fill out my 5 foreigners in the draft. I already have Mike Awesome, so that leaves only 4 slots for USA/CAN/MEX.

Americans available in Japan will essentially be wrestlers who spent a good amount of time in Japan, People like Hogan, Eddie Guerrero, Steiners are available for Japan. People like Lex Luger and Randy Savage are not.

Yeah... ECWA and RevPro should really be on a fourth tier, I will change that. Why not be able to move up? ECW moved up, ROH moved up.

Rules - The Initial Draft Here is my ideas for rules. I am completely up for modifying and improving them, but this can set a basis. Start Date: September 1, 1995 (September 1, 2016) Following the 1995 calendar, but post on the 2016 calendar. Pre-Draft: 1) You keep the owner and the announcers and other equivalent staff. 2) You get to keep three pieces of talent from the 1995 roster (4 pieces of talent for Tier A promotions). Tiers: 1) Promotions will be treated in blocks, by tiers Tier A: WWF, WCW, AJPW, NJPW Tier B: ECW, FMW, UWFi Tier C: SMW, USWA, M-Pro, Tier D: ECWA, RevPro The Draft: 1) Round #1 will start with a randomized list of the Tier A promotions, followed by Tier B, Tier C and Tier D. After round 1, each even number round will be randomized for all promotions and the odd rounds will be snaked from the previous round. 2) There will be three lists of talent to pick from: The USA list, the Japan list, and the Other list. If you are a USA promotion you can select from the USA or Other list, while if you are a Japan promotion, then you can pick from the Japan and Other list. 3) You only draft 5 talent that was not born in the country of the promotion you control. 4) Roster Size (Includes anyone draft-able ie managers) Tier A: 22-44 Tier B: 18-28 Tier C: 16-26 Tier D: 14-24 (Options to have larger rosters is available for indies big shows and Japan touring companies) 5) Once a pick is made, the person on the clock has 10 hours to pick. if they miss their 10 hours then the next person can pick and the person who missed their pick can insert their pick ASAP. 6) If you pick a tag team you forfeit your next pick. Although, feel free to pick only one member of a tag team. 7) Only Tier A promotions can select wrestlers with stars next to their name. (example Hogan is not going to M-Pro. The Talent and Booking: 1) Keep in mind who your owner is when booking (ie if Giant Baba is your owner, there is no run ins and all clean finishes) 2) Book the amount of shows that you want. If you are a promotion that runs TV, then one show a week is all you need. If you are a smaller indie you can run only a show a month if you want. 3) Try to post shows on the day they occur. Obviously life happens, but it's better to just say "Raw ran this date, nothing of note happened) then to fall weeks and months behind. 4) You can fire anyone at any time. However you can only sign one free agent (or book one for a show/tour) once every 24 hours. 5) If you are a touring company, you can add as many free agents for your tour that no one else can use or get them loaned to you from other companies. 6) If you are a Tier B, C or D promotion, you can add free agents for a mega show as long as they aren't booked out on tours. 7) Every few months there will be a rookie draft where only Tier C & D promotions can participate in. 8) You are limited to having only 35% of your roster consist of wrestlers not born in your home area. Stealing Talent: 1) Since it's the Monday Night Wars, the US promotions will have a stealing system. If a wrestler is not used on TV or PPV for an entire month by a Tier A promotion, then the other Tier A promotion can steal that talent. If that wrestler is not used again for another week the Tier B promotion can steal them. 2) 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.

Currently, WWF: I Broke Bruno's Neck WCW: Scarlet-Left ECW: topropepodcast USWA: kevinmcfl SMW: Wahoos ECWA: Boon RevPro: Jesse Ewiak NJPW: SirEdger AJPW: lowblowpodast FMW: Grimmas UWFI: Elliott M-Pro: gordi Every other promotion around near that time is available.

There is a number of options if you want to join up for this game. From smaller indies who run monthly in the USA to bigger promotions in Japan in every style. Post here if you have interest in joining.

Everybody's lists are in. I'm almost done the draft list, so we can start later this week. It looks like people are going to keep their promotions realistic, which is great. One rule I'm going to throw out there is that Terry Funk has a 4 month limit on keeping him in your promotion. Then you have to give him up to free agency, otherwise it seems wrong. FMW has no direction know, due to Onita leaving, so I have some figuring out to do. Probably going for a variety show with death matches, women, juniors, and strong style wrestling.

What's wrong with that? I'm sure he knows some stuff about supplements, or at least would look like a good spokesman for them. Also, what do you know about his knowledge in self help? The guy could be very motivational and help people, why would you scoff at that when you know nothing about him? Maybe he would stink at those, but if he is considering them he must have some idea bout them.
