Grimmas

Having a traveling NWA World Champion that we all get for short periods of time that we vote on who should be the champion would be a neat twist too.

Jack Tunney!!

All those guys are draftable. How to handle teams is a thing too.

Would Maple Leaf wrestling be an option?

or you get to pick 1 piece of talent to stay, whether it is a wrestler or manager?

I originally thought that. I think the announcers and owner should come with it. How much roster comes with the area is a question to answer.

1 or more territorial picks sounds good to me. 1-3 somewhere in that range.

I have a quandary. If we are using pre-existing promotions (WCCW, WWF, JCP, etc...) then I feel there needs to be some built in talent with the promotions. For example, if you draft WCCW as your promotion shouldn't you be stuck with Fritz, and all the Von Erichs. For Memphis you have to have Lance Russel, Lawler, Jarrett and so on? I guess what I am trying to say is, should we pick the promotions we want to run our have a draft on states/provinces, etc you want to form your territory and go from there?

I think whoever wins this for me will be number one on my ballot. It's so difficult to make this decision for me. I'm leaning to Stan, but I love Funk. I need to watch some more 70's Funk and a little more early 80's Stan to completely decide on this.

Dylan said I don't have answers for these questions. SHIMMER is a small indie who runs shows like once every 3 months and only put out dvds and maybe ippvs. Comparing that to the WWE seems very difficult to me.

Natayla. Sasha. 4-Way. Bayley. Every featured match she has had on a special was really good.

Are you saying the women in NXT are money drawing stars? How did you calculate that? She's charismatic but I'm not sure I'd want a pushed division built around Charlotte Flair. She kinda stinks. They headlined one of the house shows last weekend. Charlotte has been in too many really good matches at such a young level of experience to say she stinks.

All posts moved here.

That's fine, but saying that women should be treated as a side show attraction (like minis) because they never drew, when they were never put into a position to draw seems ridiculous to me. Ok since MY opinion is "ridiculous" exactly why are the women indisputably a better draw than minis? Kids make up a big part of the wrestling audience too and I'm more inclined to believe that trying to draw kids is a better way to make money than trying to draw women. There is a whole lot more evidence that kids will tune in to a wrestling show in large numbers than women will. What can you actually bring to the table for your side of this argument other than "it works in NXT" and I "I think more women will watch"? Children and minis are not the same. Minis are small men, not children. It works in NXT and joshi was huge in Japan when it was a hugely pushed thing. What other reason would you need to try? 5 years ago, yeah, there wasn't the talent. Now, you have Sasha and Charlotte who you can build around. Thank you for talking to me like I'm a fucking idiot. I did not know that kids and minis are not the same. I thought it was some slick thing Mexican promoters were doing to get around child labor laws. Also why are you now bringing joshi into the argument when you dismissed SHIMMER earlier because it's "completely a women's promotion"? Stage. AJW had a WWE level of stage. SHIMMER is an indie.

There is none. It's just a thought, since they don't get many women viewers. Has an increase in female viewership ever been attributable to female talent? Have they ever treated women talent well? I'm referring to any promotion ever. Outside of joshi groups in Japan, when have female fans packed the house to see female talent? At the end of the day wrestling is more like sports than other TV/entertainment, which mean its going to attract a heavier male audience. When was a time that women were put into a position to draw outside of joshi? I can think of one place, NXT, and it worked.

why? Why wouldn't women get excited to watch a woman succeed?

Sasha and Charlotte have as much potential to draw as Seth Rollins, Big Show, Randy Orton and Kane do.

What kind of starting time would work for everybody. I'm not too interested in 1970, like Parv, as I don't know much from then. Something like 83 or 85 would be pretty awesome. There was a lot of talent then.

Because it's too much work. There's dozens more immediate problems they should be focusing on before the women. I think the treatment of women by the WWE actually turns off a percentage of their viewers, so it should be an immediate issue.

I'm not saying you should. What I am saying is that if you treat women with respect and give them opportunities and treat their matches as actual respectful matches, then after time, you should be able to headline some B-ppvs with women. Why is that not something worth trying?

I like that idea, especially it being PWO.
