There needs to be a minimum of three, is that available?

So Sunday TV job guy is a good enough reason to hang onto someone? I'm cool with that. If anybody ever feels I am not using someone that they would want to, just let me know and I am sure we can work it out.

The NWA Canadian Tag Team Champions both do the job, but are happy to do it here. I wonder if Flair-Koloff was as good as Martel-Koloff?

I do really love all this big shows being built up.

Good big show scheduled for tomorrow. I wonder how you can book your ace Duggan vs Brody with Brody being Brody without trouble. Good luck.

It was a nice send off for Gang. I am really happy that you are using him well.

I do have some guys I don't use every show, but I do like using them for TV. Essentially I could add them to free agency on the condition I get them every Sunday for TV tapings.

Or someone picks up the towns? Example, Georgia goes to a draft, we split Georgia between Alabama and Mid Atlantic? Another option for sure. Kind of what Montreal and Toronto did with the Maritimes.

The other thing we need to look at is what promotion is resigning. Certain promotions should not fail this early. Either people need to switch over to take over one of those or a new person needs to come on, we just got to make sure.

Completely up to date. Posted one This Week in Wrestling, 2 Premium Actions and a week's worth of house shows. All of this is building to the huge Maple Leaf Gardens show on the 27th.

New writers get dead promotions, I think that is only fair.

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Premium Action September 22, 1983 The opening video package of Premium Action opens the show featuring clips of: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Wahoo McDaniel, Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, NWA Canadian Tag Team Champions Ivan Koloff & Super Russian, Leo Burke and ends with a clip of Rick Martel being awarded the NWA Canadian Title. We go to Billy Red Lyons and Jesse Ventura welcome us to Premium Action and tonight we will look at footage from Kitchener, Ontario including a match involving Jesse Ventura. Straight to action though. 1. Little Tokyo & Skw Low Low vs Haiti Kid & Cowboy Lang (September 19, 1983 @ Kitchener Memorial Gardens) Tokyo tries to avoid Haiti Kid and tags out every time he gets in the ring until they get an advantage. Haiti Kid makes a comeback and Tokyo bails leaving Kid to pin Sky Low Low. Ventura and Lyons talk about Haiti Kid challenging for the NWA World LP Title at Maple Leaf Gardens on September 27, 1983. Winners - Haiti Kid & Cowboy Lang @ 9:56 Commercial #2 Lyons and Ventura introduce the next match and warn people that it may not be pretty to watch. They talk about Maple Leaf Gardens and the Toronto Death Match with Bass in a shark cage and how The Cubans are refusing to compete. 2. Bobby Bass vs Rocky Johnson Rocky still has his face bandaged up and Bass goes on the attack. Rocky even gets busted back open and is a disgusting mess as Bass uses every trick in the books to keep the advantage. However Bass is too cocky and Rocky nails him with a flurry of punches and a huge powerslam for the win. Winner - Rocky Johnson @ 7:03 Commercial #3 3. Jesse Ventura & Evil Machine vs Rick Martel & Tony Garea def. Jesse Ventura & Evil Machine (September 19, 1983 @ Kitchener Memorial Gardens) Before the match Ventura applies oil to the Evil Machine and talks about Riki Choshu taking the title at Maple Leaf Gardens. He then states that nobody here will see it, because nobody from Kitchener would be allowed into Toronto due to the smell. Machine and Ventura cheat like crazy and gain the early advantage. Garea ends up being the face in peril and they do a good job cutting the ring in half. A hot tag to Martel and he look to put Ventura away as they cut back to studio as Martel puts the Boston Crab on Ventura. Ventura proclaims that the footage of the finish was lost and assures us all that he got the victory. Lyons does not believe them and he was there and says Martel got the win. They argue as the show ends.

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Wrestling Night in Canada September 18, 1983 at Civic Centre in Brantford, Ontario The opening video package of Wrestling Night in Canada opens the show featuring clips of: Greg Valentine, Wahoo McDaniel, Stephen Petipas, Jesse Ventura, Ivan Koloff, Leo Burke, Rocky Johnson and ends with a clip of Rick Martel being awarded the NWA Canadian Title. Billy Red Lyons and Jesse "The Body" Ventura welcome us to the show and Ventura reminds us that he will have "The Super Russian" on The Body Shop tonight! Ventura is also excited about the Evil Russian taking on Rick Martel in a non-title match in the main event. However we are going straight into action here. 1. "Outlaw" Joel Deaton vs Jerry Brisco Brisco goes straight to work on the leg and Deaton tried to use his brawling to fight him off. Brisco pulling at the leg, actually pulled off Deaton's boot. When he did a hard metal object fell out. Deaton picked it up and hit Brisco on the head, causing the DQ and knocking him out. Lyons said that Jack Tunney will be getting the tape of this. Winner - Jerry Brisco via DQ @ 6:31 Commercial #1 We are backstage and Nick McMann is with The Cubans. Bobby Bass is not an animal and doesn't want to be locked up in a shark cage. Also The Cubans are above working death matches and feel like Jack Tunney has a bias. With all that being said they will no longer use fireballs if that is the ruling, but that does not mean that Rocky Johnson and Stephen Petipas will not burn at Maple Leaf Gardens. Commercial #2 Before the match we get a quick video of Killer Khan destroying guys in New Japan and the statement that he is coming next week on Television. 2. "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff w/ Don Carson vs Leo Burke Burke starts off as a house of fire nailing dropkick after dropkick before Koloff rolls to the outside to recovery and talk strategy with Don Carson. Commercial #3 Back from commercial and Koloff finally gets in the ring and whips Burke into the ropes where Carson trips him. Koloff than goes to work over the back. With submissions, stomps and back breakers. Burke keeps trying to fight back, but Koloff keeps control with cheap shots and eye gouges. Koloff even puts on the bearhug, but Burke fights out of it and hits a leg lariat out of nowhere. Both men are down when the bell rings. Leo Burke & Ivan Koloff fought to a time limit draw @ 20:00 Commercial #4 Backstage Nick McMann is with Koloff and Carson complain about the antics of Burke and demand a rematch for next week. At ringside Ventura and Lyons talk about that great match and they predict Burke will accept the rematch and we will see another classic next week. They hype Bobby Bass in a singles match up next. Commercial #5 3. Bobby Bass vs Angel Mosca Jr. A total squash which Bass wins taunting everybody the entire match. Winner - Bobby Bass @ 3:20 Commercial #6 It is now time for The Body Shop with Jesse Ventura. He is a lone, because Evil Machine is in the back applying oil and fine tuning for the main event. He then requests the fake "Super Russian" to make his appearance. Out comes the Super Russian. Ventura tries to get details about who he is, but he refuses to speak. This brings out Koloff, Alexis Smirnoff, Carson and Greg Valentine. Everybody knows this "Super Russian" is not Greg Valentine, so he is an impostor. Valentine demands the mask to be removed, but the Super Russian refuses. After some heated words Smirnoff and Koloff grab the Russian and Valentine removes his mask to reveal... another mask. During the confusion The Super Russian chops all three and knocks them down. He then stomps the crap out of Valentine, before security separates everybody. Commercial #7 4. Evil Machine w/ Jesse Ventura vs Rick Martel Billy Red Lyons is joined by Bobby Bass at the announce booth, because Ventura is out managing the Evil Machine. The Machine attacks before the bell and really does a number on Martel's back before being DQ'd for using a chair. The beatdown continues until Tony Garea makes the save. Winner - Rick Martel via DQ @ 6:57 Dark Matches: Jesse Ventura pinned Tony Garea @ 7:26 Greg Valentine made Stephen Petipas submit @ 17:20

I really like a case by case basis, because there is a huge difference between WWF folding and Southeastern folding.

Goc I made the thread so don't pretend to know my intentions. All I wanted was to get an update of what the heck is going on. I was afraid of Kris quiting, because of people being behind and wanted to clear things up.

Who is better?

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Premium Action September 15, 1983 The opening video package of Premium Action opens the show featuring clips of: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Wahoo McDaniel, Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, NWA Canadian Tag Team Champions Ivan Koloff & Super Russian, Leo Burke and ends with a clip of Rick Martel being awarded the NWA Canadian Title. We go to Billy Red Lyons and Jesse "The Body" Valentine are in a studio and welcome us to Premium Action. We are two weeks away from the huge show in Maple Leaf Gardens on September 27th headlined by Riki Choshu challenging the NWA Canadian Champion Rick Martel. Ventura makes an unbiased prediction and predicts Riki Choshu will be the champion. Also on the show we have a grudge Toronto Death Match between The Cubans and Rocky Johnson & Stephen Petipas where Bobby Bass will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage. Finally we have a lumberjack match between Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and the returning Wahoo McDaneil. A stacked show, so make sure you are there in Maple Leaf Gardens on September 27th. They then talk about the matches you will see tonight, including: Masa Fuchi taking on Ben Bassarab, a classic battle royal, and in the main event a brutal Toronto Street Fight between The Cubans and Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson. Commercial #1 Lyons and Ventura talk about this technical contest we will see. A match up that is a real throw back that you can only see here in Maple Leaf Wrestling. Masa Fuchi vs Ben Bassarab (September 12, 1983 in Halifax Forum) This match started as a feeling out contest on the mat where both men fought over submissions. Bassarab working over the arm and Fuchi working over the leg. Bassarab almost got the victory with a Fujiwara armbar, but Fuchi made it to the ropes. As the referee was pulling Bassarab off Fuchi, Fuchi rolled him up for the win. Winner - Masa Fuchi @ 9:51 Commercial #2 Lyons and Ventura get us excited for a battle royal! 5. Battle Royal featuring: Andre the Giant, Leo Burke, Jerry Brisco, Tony Garea, Tiger Conway Jr., Bobby Bass, Al Tomko, Gary Royal, Killer Karl Krupp, Paul Christy, Angelo Mosca Jr. & Rick Patterson (August 30, 1983 in Maple Leaf Gardens) Early on Krupp gather up an army to go after Andre, but Andre, Garea & Burke fought them off. Andre was dominated, but Burke threw out his fair share as well. The final four included: Andre the Giant, Leo Burke, Bobby Bass & Killer Karl Krupp. Andre easily tossed Krupp, while Burke was able to toss Bass. Andre and Leo had a short and fun battle before Andre tossed Burke for the win. Winner - Andre the Giant @ 12:26 Commercial #3 Before we get to the main event, Ventura reminds us about the Cubans throwing fireballs on TV and hitting a security guard and how they are now banned from Maple Leaf Wrestling. However this match took place before that ruling. Ventura shows short clip of "The Super Russian" attacking Greg Valentine on TV last week and he promises to have this "Super Russian" on The Body Shop on Wrestling Night in Canada! Commercial #4 7. Cuban Assassin & Chicky Starr w/ Bobby Bass vs "Big" Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson in a Toronto Street Fight Both teams wear street clothes to the ring. The match is a brawl all over the ringside area and including using chairs, maracas and even Bobby Bass being bodyslammed through the announcer table. If Bass out of the way Petipas and Johnson seemed ready for victory, but the Cuban Assassin threw a fire ball in Rocky's face for the pinfall. Winners - Cuban Assassin & Chicky Starr @ 14:57

I can't wait for this! I love these shows.
