Grimmas

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.

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Wrestling Night in Canada July 24, 1983 at Civic Center 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. Nick McMann, Billy Red Lyons and Jesse "The Body" Ventura are at the announce booth to welcome us to the show. Jesse says he has a big scoop as The Russians will be on The Body Shop this week and he will try to find out who the Super Russian is. They also hype the main event of Rick Martel defending the NWA Canadian Title against former Champion Angelo Mosca, as well as the big US vs Canada series in Maple Leaf Gardens on Tuesday. We get a video montage set to "Beat It' by Michael Jackson of all the set up to the US vs Canada match series, including some footage of Martel in Jim Crocket Promotions and Georgia. -COMMERCIAL (1) 1. Leo Burke, Rocky Johnson, Ben Bassarab & Stephen Petipas vs Gary Royal, Killer Karl Krupp, Paul Christy & Rick Patterson The heels are able to get Basarab into a face in peril section, but the hot tag comes and Rocky is able to pin Royal to end the match. All action as guys tagged in and out quickly. Winners - Leo Burke, Rocky Johnson, Ben Bassarab & Stephen Petipas @ 7:42 -COMMERCIAL (2) The announcers hype up some footage sent to us by Jim Crocket Promotions. We get the inside of a bar where Ric Flair, Buddy Roberts, Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Barry Darsow are hanging out. They are drinking and mocking Canadians, especially Martel. Flair and Hayes joke about which one of them can get with the pretty blonde in the corner first, but as they are speaking Gordy walks up to the girl and they leave together to the shock of Hayes and Flair. -COMMERCIAL (3) 2. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine vs Nick DeCarlo Greg is cocky and does quite a beat down on DeCarlo before making him submit to the figure-four. Valentine even does a Wahoo War Dance to mock McDaniel. Word from the back is that Wahoo did not see it, as was preparing for his match tonight. WInner - Greg Valentine @ 4:42 -COMMERCIAL (4) It is now time for "The Body Shop" with Jesse Ventura. This week's guests are "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, Super Russian and their manager Don Carson. Jesse asks The Super Russian what it is like to team with a legend like Koloff, but Carson interrupts him. The Super Russian refuses to speak in English. Carson notes that the USSR has proved it is the best country in the world in hockey and is now proving it in wrestling. Carson runs down The Super Russians history as a super athlete from being the son of a legendary Olympic wrestler to getting all the best training. Koloff then talks about how they will keep the titles no matter who is put in front of them. -COMMERCIAL (5) On the way to the ring Wahoo says this tag match is for Bret Hart to prepare for the six-man tag team with him against these two and Ventura on Tuesday in the Gardens. However, he was told what Valentine did and on August 20th in Oshawa when he gets a singles match with Valentine, he will destroy him. 3. Wahoo McDaniel & Tiger Conway Jr. vs Mr. Saito & Masked Samurai Jesse leaves the announcers area in the middle of the match and is able to trip up Conway giving Saito the win with the Saito Suplex. Winner - Mr. Saito & Masked Samurai @ 8:49 -COMMERCIAL (6) The announcers hype up the main event of next week's show of Stephen Petipas vs Super Russian and Wahooo McDaniel will be the guest on The Body Shop. They talk about the upcoming main event coming up after this break. The announcers are interrupted by Angelo Rivera the Puerto Rican who was on the video played on The Body Shop last week. He calls out The Cuban team and out comes "No Class" Bobby Bass and Cuban Assassin. Angelo wants to know where Chicky Starr is, but he is told, by the Cubans, that he refuses to talk to him. That is when Angelo reveals that he is Chicky Starr's brother and he just wants him to come home to Puerto Rico with him. At this point Chick Starr attacks him from behind and with the help of Bass and Assassin they beat him down until security separates them. -COMMERCIAL (7) Main Event: NWA Canadian Champion Rick Martel vs "King Kong' Angelo Mosca Martel does the best selling he can do on Mosca's offense to try to make this match worthwhile. With Mosca being the former Champion that was never defeated he is very confident. He was even able to bust Martel open on the ring post. In the end Martel makes Mosca submit to the Boston Crab. Winner - Rick Martel @ 11:05 After the match Leo Burke, Rocky Johnson, Ben Bassarab and Stephen Petpas come to ringside to help Martel celebrate and to put up a strong front going into Maple Leaf Gardens on Tuesday to face the Amiercan team. Dark Matches: Joel Deaton def. Tony Garea @ 8:44 Chicky Starr & Cuban Assassin def. Bob & Joe Marcus @ 6:32

Not the way the WWE billed them.

So we are looking at SummerSlam as: Brock-Taker Rollins-Cena Ambrose/Reigns/Sting vs Wyatt Family Women's Match (Probably 3 v 3 v 3) as the big four matches this year?

For the monthly draft can we add guys we want to drop from our roster when we are done with them or everybody be forced to drop one guy or something?

There is a bunch of guys I would had loved out of there... but I'm happy to have Bass full time now.
