Grimmas Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Voting is due for GWE at WrestleMania in 2016. No extensions. The Smarkchoice poll was in 2006 and the idea is for a new poll to happen every ten years.
Jimmy Redman Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I don't think it was a serious fear of an extension as much as a comment on the difficulties some people will have multitasking between now and then.
Matt D Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Also a comment on the sheer amount of effort you guys are putting into this, yes. I think there's some real merit in this with the research and what not that's been done. That said, we've been in sort of a weird state the last few weeks where instead of a broad range of stuff, we've had two major threads (art and star ratings) that have had a thousand posts each, the Cena discussion, and then almost everything else is this.

I tried to atone for my sins with offerings to youtube. And by making a new recap in the Southeastern thread.
Grimmas Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 This game might push Rick Martel up my list and Valentine from all the watching I am doing.
Grimmas Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 My first show will be Wednesday and most people are having a big show on Saturday. So things are about to get rolling!
dawho5 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Has anyone else gotten a promotion they knew almost nothing about and found that it was way more up their alley than I imagined? I did some looking into Montreal and it seems like they have a very AWA vibe as far as babyfaces go. Once the heels go past a certain point and the blood feud is on, the babyface is okay to turn heel tactics around on them. It seems like the house style was a pretty fast-paced brawl with some cool spots and technical wrestling thrown in to keep it interesting. They also seem to like their heated brawls in feuds, see the Rougeaus vs. the Garvins. In speaking to others about this, they have seen French language footage of the match I saw with no X-ing out of the bloody face of Ronnie Garvin. So basically I am not making big leaps by building feuds into hate-filled brawls where the faces will take the law into their own hands if it comes down to that. My plan is to use blood sparingly on TV to make it a big deal, but house shows I am thinking there ought to be a bloody, hate-filled brawl in Montreal once every few weeks. What a great way to keep 3000 fans showing up at the Paul Suave Arena every Saturday evening and get as close to 18,000 as possible into the Forum on my big shows. I see Abby making some appearances in 1984, no way the idea of a Hansen vs. Abby bloodbath doesn't sell tickets.
JHawk Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Aside from a handful of guys, I've never really followed who was on the actual WWA roster. I like that I have a handful of their core guys but am basically looking into working with completely fresh rosters.
Grimmas Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Toronto wasn't a real promotion so there is that. I tried to follow the spirit of my home town though.
Boon Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Whoever is the chosen as the next champion, I'd like them to come into Southeastern for a week so my audience can get familiarise with them before taking the strap.
Grimmas Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 I am so pumped to unleash my first card on you guys on Wednesday. Some cool surprises setting up future shows and lots of awesome wrestling! Who will be the NWA Canadian Champion find out Wednesday! Plus, I plan on making the Canada Cup a yearly affair ala the Championship Carnival/G1 Climax.
Grimmas Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Canada Cup sounds awesome. I'm trying to steal as many ideas as I can from hockey.
rainmakerrtv Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 As a fellow Canadian, I applaud you for that. Poutine and Timmies for the backstage catering!
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 With two big shows coming up, several AWA wrestlers and promoter Verne Gagne appeared on a popular Twin Cities television show this morning. Be sure to check out what went down: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31248-american-wrestling-association/?p=5682359 (Spoiler alert: Vinnie Valentino "booty underwear.")
goc Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 What was Gary Young doing between 1980-1985? He started wrestling in 1978 but he kind of totally drops off the map during that period.
KrisZ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 He was working as a detective for the Houston police department
goc Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I am glad you specified detective so I didn't waste a few hours desperately trying to find a picture of Gary Young in a police uniform with his big perm.
dkookypunk43 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 How do you guys feel about the cards I booked thus far
goc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I have my July 4th TV taping all done now and am fighting the urge to post it a little bit early just to keep myself from tweaking it any more.
Flyin' Brian Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I know what you mean. Mines going up around midnight,
