So I did a weird finish for the Flair-Martel main event of the show I posted today. I would love some feedback on it, as I am unsure if it's a cool or horrible finish.

OK, I think I figured out a solution for the territory takeover crisis

So I only get something if Montreal folds? -
There should be a max on how many passes you can do in a row. Like if you pass in August, you can't pass in September or something.
-
I will make my decision when I come up passed on who is available or yet to come.
-
If nobody wants the midgets I will take them from August 1st till 22nd.
-
Jack Tunney wants to bring in as much international stars as possible.

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Canada versus USA July 26, 1983 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario The show opens with the President of Maple Leaf Wrestling Jack Tunney and the President of Mid-Altantic Wrestling Jim Crockett being introduced and then sitting at ringside. That is followed up by the playing of the American than the Canadian national anthems. 1. Barry Darsow (USA) vs "Big" Steven Petipas (CAN) Petipas out works the monster Darsow for the big pinfall to give Canada the 1-0 lead. Winner - Stephen Petipas @ 7:33 2. Cuban Assassin & Chicky Starr w/ "No Class" Bobby Bass vs Angelo RIvera & Tony Garea (No DQ) A wild and crazy brawl that is fought in a Tornado Rules style. Rivera keeps trying to get at Starr, but gets cut off by The Assassin or Bass. Bass and Rivera are both busted open from vicious punches. Rivera finally nails Bass with a slam on the cement floor and gets Starr one on one in the ring. As he is about to take his revenge, Cuban Assassin nails him from behind with a steel chair leading to Starr pinning Rivera for the win. The blooded Bass along with Starr and The Assassin celebrate to their salsa music. Winners - Cuban Assassin & Chicky Starr @ 12:55 3. Buddy Roberts (USA) vs Ben Bassarab (CAN) Bassarab puts up a valiant fight, but the veteran Buddy is able to pick up the victory with the DDT to tie the series at 1-1. Winner - Buddy Roberts @ 9:42 4. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy (USA) vs Leo Burke (CAN) They work the classic big man versus smaller wrestler with Gordy keeping in control due to his strength. Leo has a great comeback and hits a huge leg lariat for a really close nearfall. However Gordy is able to pick up the win with a big piledirver to put the USA ahead 2-1. Winner - Terry Gordy @ 18:03 5. Mr. Saito, Masked Samurai & Jesse "The Body" Ventura vs Bret Hart, Wahoo McDaniel & Tiger Conway Jr. Saito was the real hoss here and picked up the win with the Saito Suplex on Bret. A lot of the match was Jesse hiding behind his two charges. Conway played a great face in peril, and Wahoo destroyed everybody during the hot tag. However Saito was too much once Bret was tagged back in. Winner - Mr. Saito, Masked Samurai & Jesse "The Body" Ventura @ 13:21 Intermission: During the break Jack Tunney announces that Maple Leaf Wrestling will return to Maple Leaf Gardens on August 30th and will feature Mr. Saito challenging for the NWA Canadian Title. 6. WWF Intercontinental Champion Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat vs "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko Larry does a lot of stalling which only makes him more hated and Steamboat more loved. Steamboat goes for a flying move, but Larry ducks and the referee is knocked down. Larry uses brass knuckles to knock out Steamboat and the second referee counts Steamboat out. He goes to award Larry the title, but the first referee names Steamboat the victor via DQ due to the use of the brass knuckles. Winner - Ricky Steamboat @ 16:54 by DQ 7. Michael "P.S." Hayes (USA) vs Rocky Johnson (CAN) Two of the most charismatic wrestlers have a nice battle that the crowd was way into. If Hayes won this one, then Canada was out of it so every nearfall was exciting. Johnson was able to reverse the DDT into an inside cradle to win it and tie the series at 2. WInner - Rocky Johnson @ 11:32 8. NWA World Midget's Champion Little Tokyo vs Tiger Jackson This seemed to be Jackson's night as he dominated Tokyo early and was confident after pinning him on July 1st. However, Tokyo was able to use salt behind the referee's back to gain the advantage and hit a big flying kamikaze drop for the win. Winner - Little Tokyo @ 9:00 9. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (USA) vs Rick Martel (CAN) Tunney and Crockett get out of their seats and stand in their respective captain's corners for the match up. The hatred is there from Canada Day when Flair ruined the Canada Cup ceremony and slapped Martel. Flair cheated early and worked on Martel's legs, but Martel kept fighting back and worked over Flair's back. Around 35 minutes in Flair looked to be the victor by locking on the figure-four but Martel got to the ropes. As the battle continued Martel tossed Flair over the top via a desperation move and then collapsed due to exhaustion. At this point Crockett started to celebrate erroneously and Flair got into the ring with a huge smile and approached the referee to raise his hand. Martel was then able to roll up Flair from behind for the pin. Tunney rushed the ring to celebrate with Martel, as Crockett rushed the ring to argue with the referee. The announcer named Martel and thus Canada the winner as a dejected Flair and Crockett left arguing all the way to the back. Martel was then joined by the rest of Team Canada as the 5 men plus Jack Tunney celebrated Canada being the best wrestling nation and Maple Leaf Wrestling being the best promotion in the world. Winner - Rick Martel @ 37:32 Canada beats USA 3-2!

This Week in Wrestling for July 25, 2015
Grimmas replied to Grimmas's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Sadly Smackdown was missed, because we had to record the WWE section earlier in the week. Going forward I will probably be watching Superstars. -
Jack Tunney is all for the dirt sheets and believes it is the future of wrestling.
-
I am in the mood for a laugh, so what is some of the most stupid decisions in wrestling history? I am sure we can fill 20 pages of Russo crap alone.

The Wade Smeltzer Flaming Spectator Newsletter Issue #2
Grimmas replied to goodhelmet's topic in The Archives
I don't want to send in news, because I can tell Will is having so much fun with the Toronto section. -
Bass would be quite the trade, as the his constantly on the road being the greatest Cuban wrestler of all-time!
-
I'm cool with that. It's 26th, so Larry vs Steamboat has been added.
-
Ron Starr is awesome. EIther him or Joel Deaton, since everybody was booked already. Do you have an opponent to fly in?
-
I can put Honma-Okada at that level too.
-
There are cities and places that are not being run by certain promotions an I wanted to start a thread where people can ask if anybody has a problem with them running those towns. I have a dilemma for my September schedule. I have a long drive from the Maritimes to Windsor, Ontario (20 hours) and would love to stop along the way and have a show somewhere, the problem is Parv and maybe somebody else being annoyed by this. First: 9/13 Berwick Arena in Berwick, Nova Scotia 9/17 either Niagra Falls or Windsor That's a three day stretch to do a 20 hour drive (17 for Niagra Falls), not soooo horrible. It's the worst my territory has to offer. However, if I could take one of those three days to run a show that would be awesome. During that drive I cross through New Hapshire, Maine, Boston, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester... The other thing is... when I run Windsor, I am like 30 minutes from Detroit, Michigan and it would be mighty nice to run a show there. Can I run any of these places?
-
About to watch Honma-Okada from Night 4 and this tournament has been nothing special so far. Lots of alright wrestling. Best matches so far: AJ vs Shibata Nakamura vs Nagata Nothing else is 3 3/4 for me. Although we should be comparing the first 4 shows to the first 2 shows last year and its not way behind that yet. Last year didn't get awesome till night 4 or 5, so there is still hope.
-
Just like that Jack Tunney books Ron Starr getting a WWF Intercontinental Title match in Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th. It's good to make deals with Tunney.
-
The final few matches have been added to the big USA vs Canada show in Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th. Angelo Rivera who claims to be Chicky Starr's brother wants revenge after the beat down the Cubans put on him and has recruited Tony Garea to be his partner. Angelo Rivera and Tony Garea will challenge Chicky Starr and Cuban Assassin in a No DQ match! The final big match has the WWF Intercontinental Champion Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat will be in town to defend his title against newcomer "Rotten" Ron Starr in what should be an awesome encounter.
-
That works for me. I don't have a definite date in mind for when I want to bring him in, are you ok working off a deal where I give you 2 weeks notice to write him out? Right now I'm thinking you'll have him 4-6 weeks but it could be longer. Works for me.
-
I could use Ron Starr to help out the midcard heels. A feud with Stephen Petipas would be the slot.
-
Speaking of weddings I had the wedding party enter the reception to Final Countdown as a Danielson tribute.
-
Glad you enjoyed! Flair vs Martel is announced for Timmons, Ontario so the Crocket deal will continue. There may be more talks between Crockett and Tunney to come.
