Grimmas

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!

In that case, I can take all of them; Mascara Magica, Bobby Duncum, Jr., Gorgeous George III, John Nord and King Kong Bundy. I meant.. managers count towards your 44. Can't go over 44 managers and wrestlers.

Managers count as spots... so please clarify who you want?

Yeah man. For SMW I would probably just do the weekly TV and those few major shows they did a year.

I purchased an awesome notebook today for planning purposes. Will post pictures later!

They should had put trios on one show and tags on the other. Same women's single on one show and women's tag on the other.

Wrestling is an art, where knowing the result doesn't ruin it, while MMA is a sport and if you know the result, then why watch?

You can sign Hosaka as well.

Draft over! If you want to sign up free agents, I will have that list up later today. Remember if you are an indie feel free to sign people for just one show (date) or if you are a touring Japanese company, feel free to sign up people for tours (just not past September).

Draft over!! 11. OVW: Mark Starr 12.

If you want more folks on your roster and have the room, feel free to sign them up. I could had asked for more picks for people, but the free agency route will move things along quicker. People had very different lists, so shouldn't be too big of an issue to get the ones you want.

Where we are at is OVW needing to send me a few picks, to finish this off. Right away I will get the free agent list up (by the end of tomorrow, at least). From there, people can sign some free agents to fill out their roster if they want or sign up people for their big shows or tours. We can then set up our individual threads and be ready for September. Come October we can look into rookie drafts and the stealing aspect. In the mean time, use the hype threads until the draft is over. We are literally one PM from it being over and we can move on to the fun stuff.

A few people are out of picks (M-Pro and I think two others, based on the list you sent me) if you want to drop out of the draft here, that's cool. After the draft, you can still fill out your roster with free agents if wanted.

I think just OVW is left to send me a list. Get that in and I can finish the draft tomorrow for everyone.
