Dylan Waco Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 On expansion I have no problem with it and in fact some of my decisions have been made under the assumption that expansion might be occurring. The reality is that the Portland territory cannot sustain a regular foster of thirty some odd regular performers and talents as it was constituted in 1983. Don Owen has no interest in going national but there are picks that would not have been made, and tentative agreements that would not have been lined up if very limited expansion was known to be forbidden. Having said this Portland will abide by any collective decision made. That said if it is decided that expansion is forbidden in any and all forms, Portland will renounce it's NWA membership and become a fully isolationist group, but continue to move forward on those terms.

Exactly. The NWA can be against expansion, but who says you have to be a part of the NWA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I think expansion into open territory should be fine, not so sure about going to war. It'd be fun, but there would probably be much butthurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 People can invade Southwest Territory if they want. I will warn however you that Mr. Saito is Japanese and thus, obviously, in 1983 he would be willing to be paid as an assassin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 The WWF's position on expansion is that no one should run in markets already established by another NWA promotion. In cases where two promotions are running in the same state an amicable agreement should be made on who runs which towns, much like in the recent settlements between WWF and GCW over Ohio. The WWF would also like to make clear that California was not an expansion but an acquisition when Mike Le Bell sold his promotion to Vince McMahon. This is why it will be running LA, San Diego and San Jose but does not lay claim to San Francisco. It will not oppose another group wishing to run San Francisco. The WWF supports Bob Giegel to continue as NWA President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Due to the fact that (in my universe) Verne gifts Roy Shires with a box of expensive cigars every Christmas, the AWA will be looking to expand to Bay Area shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run in San Jose, it will be a declaration of war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 AWA was already running San Francisco & Oakland after Shire closed shop......San Jose was WWF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Usually my grasp of geography is a lot better than that. I had thought San Jose was further south but, no, it is right in the same area. I am looking to run shows in San Francisco and Oakland but will stay out of San Jose. In my defense, I am Canadian. Looks like I don't know the way to San Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I know that AWA was running SF but I was under the impression that the link was Ray Stevens. As I no longer have Ray Stevens, I made up the story to explain Shires handing it over to Verne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd like to try and hash these things out, or at the very least get some kind of ruling on what is gonna happen with El Gran Apollo. He quits wrestling and heads off back to Cuba in 1984. I don't care if he has to retire on the real timeline, I just need to know how to treat him going forward. If he's retiring in 1984 he'll be a big pain in my ass backstage being a prima donna and refusing to blade to get my angles over. That would give me someone who Abdullah the Butcher can retire...
