It's really hard to invade Idaho

And using him, alongside four or five other old guys on top, gets you the 1983 AWA roster. Which was one of the jokes I used before. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing the WWF shows too. I want to see Parv prove me wrong.

Also, Parv, part of why we were making fun a round or two ago is that we never expected you to actually keep picking old guys. It started as sort of an affectation where we could see you going for Brisco since he's one of your guys and you've seen so much footage, but then it came coming and coming. To the point we kept expecting someone completely different so the more of the same started to seem like a routine. We never actually expected you to pick Ole or Jerry Brisco, let alone Lars. We thought you had that old veteran role tied up, and you kept going back to the well.

To be fair, the Briscos had that great match in NYC with Murdoch/Adonis in 84. And the crowd was absurdly hot for that. Especially the finish. I think that it was easier for them to connect to Murdoch/Adonis than it would be to Ole/Lars.

Parv has the best damn roster 1973 can offer.

Texas is all the same.

All joking aside, Parv's doing a great job building the AWA roster.

Though I wonder if I can get Jesse to take Krupp and Von Raschke to call the Von Erichs out on turning their back on their heritage.

I was about to make a Killer Karl Krupp joke though

Parv, Just think of how much older Johnny Weaver is getting as you stall though. Better jump on that.

Will Parv take Angelo Poffo, Dick the Bruiser, or Larry Hennig?

Captain Lou in Montreal is hilarious. Just the idea of him yelling at shopkeepers.

I'm sorry, but all I can think of here is the Owen Hart prank of Stu where he called him up pretending to be Reg Parks.

To be fair manager vs manager wars are sort of awesome.

Or I mean "don't take one so he is forced take the manager I want him to take."

We agreed on him flying in for TV tapings on Wednesdays. The WWF just assumed he'd be taking a bus.

Jesse is the sort of heel that could lead a stable and speak for his partners as well.

Someone had a really good point in there. Cena doing this stuff seems like a way to push back against his critics who thinks he doesn't do movez, especially when facing guys who do. He should go the other way with it. It'd mean a hell of a lot more for him to pick up an Oklahoma slam or Calf Branding or something less goofy. To play to his strengths.

I feel the complete opposite. Maybe because I first saw it 12 years ago done by the Amazing Red and it's nothing new to me, but it's pretty much just a Sunset Flip with the receiver taking a back bump. It looks cool, but I have no issue with it just being a two count signature move or a low impact flash pin move. I'd probably like it best as a transition move to cut off a long heat run.

Mayhem in Atlanta: The bloody challenge of Jake Roberts that keeps Butch Reed up at night.

What former champion is going to be joining up with Jimmy Hart in the Central States area? And what will it mean for Kevin Sullivan?

Maybe you should pick up Fidel Sierra then?

i didn't pick a territory because I didn't have time! How the hell am I going to make a fake newsletter about a fake wrestling scenario! That said, I was trying really hard to position myself as Terry Justice, just with Fidel Sierra instead of Eddie Gilbert, but either no one got the joke, or it just wasn't funny (probably the latter). Depending on what time I have, we'll see.

I use the word "Great" a lot.

You can be my booking assistant in a month when you have more free time. That is a kind offer. I sort of feel like Ken Mantell in this thing, so caveat emptor. that said, I'll be happy to look at how things are in July and chip in. In the meantime, I'm also more than happy to talk to anyone about what they're up to and listen to ideas.
