kevinmcfl Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hawaii is fun to book. I did that twice on the other site before it folded. That is where Polynesian Power was big and they feuded with Farmer Boy Ipo and LeRoy Brown who were the Samoan Connection. Russ Francis from the 49ers was actually big there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So, the NWA booking site folded? What a shame, there were some fun reads on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 by the way, my assistant has been out of work, so i have worked 12 straight days, that is why no updates. I'll post once I recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yes NWAR has folded twice since I joined here. The site says it will be back. I think Spaldoni was the last hold out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just want to give a shoutout to everyone here so far, doing a great job with the territories. Only thing missing would be a kayfabe magazine like PWI or something. Speaking of which, anyone remembers that guy who posted in this thread he wanted to do something like that for the Project? Wonder what happened to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I got a chance to go through and catalog the WWF today. Put together the Main Event, Saturday Night's Main Event, and WrestleMania results and updated title histories. Crazy how fast time has flown by and to see all the stuff I've written in this one promotion and then all the subsequent stuff everyone else has done and our feedback and such. Just been a fun trip to go back and look at all of it and emphasize how important it is that we all give feedback and insight into what each other is doing and the growth within our promotions.

SirEdger Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yeah, it's amazing to see how much our writing can evolve as time goes by and we get comfortable with what we're doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Funny you mention that. Recently, I went back and read a lot of shows before I started on here. It was a lot of fun to read how wrestlers were used in different promotions. I've really learned a lot from you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomemiz Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I would like some help on venues that Portland use to run in the 80's as I've looked but apart from 1 event i is struggling to come up with anything. Any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 The one I used in my Portland shows is the Portland Memorial Coliseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 In 1986 Portland Wrestling loop seemed to be Monday: Seaside, Oregon Tuesday: Medford, Oregon Thursday: Salem, Oregon Friday: Eugene, Oregon Saturday: Portland With spot shows in Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmakerrtv Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just a heads up, my second week of the month is my West Coast swing, which goes as follows : Friday : San Francisco Saturday : Seattle (it used to be Portland, but I moved when the Portland territory opened up) Sunday : Eugene I am good with Portland running shows in Seattle and Eugene, just asking that they don't do it on Saturday and Sunday.

SirEdger Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Anyway, there's no need to follow a touring schedule exactly like it was IRL. Glad to see that this got resolved quickly and without any controversy. However, perhaps the best course of action for miz this time should've been to talk with rain in private about Portland specifically although in those circumstances, Kevin was of great help with other venues in the Pacific Northwest. All's well that ends well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate the way that you phrased everything here but aren't we a little bit past the idea that someone can't run a town on a specific day; especially if Portland is home-based out there? On top of the fact that Portland also has the backing of the NWA? I know WWF, World Class and uwf all run shows in Houston. That doesn't deter me from running a show there on a given day regardless of who else is running there if it's that day or another. I think that this may harken back to what dawho brought up with television and such and how promotion could grow with that kind of visibility. In this matter miz is cool with whatever but I know this may be a point of contention as we continue through the 80s and some companies continue to grow.

SirEdger Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 At one point, it's one discussion we'll have to have altogether when we'll want to expose the visibility of our territories in North America. It's only a normal step at one point for everyone to want to expand. And we'll have to do it in a way that will satisfy everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I suppose it is a bit of a moot point. As I tend to say, there is more than enough imaginary audience for all of us. It's just a courtesy I am asking so that I can maintain the presence I had built up in the Pacific Northwest before Miz joined the project, while trying on my own part to respect his territory. Houston was a large city with multiple venues (Astrodome, Sam Houston, Summit , etc.) that could conceivably have multiple events on the same day. Not so likely with Eugene, Oregon. What would happen if I posted an event taking place in one city on the same day another promoter posted one in the same city? Nothing, really. I'm just trying to avoid Miz and myself stepping on each others' toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to avoid Miz and myself stepping on each others' toes. I agree with you to a point. It's not crazy to think that with Portland being based in Portland he would take some of that momentum from AWA which is based in Minnesota which would change the scope of that area in the future as long as miz continues to post and build his promotion there. The big thing will come with myself and the NWA with 1987 introducing ppv and both companies expanding to areas they may not be in now. The schematics of don't post in Minneapolis or Milwaukee or Chicago or Atlanta or Baltimore on Saturday or Sunday may be hard to come by as those days come closer.

SirEdger Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 It could become a problem for some territories here. I know that for instance, me in Canada, dawho in PR and both gordi & Grimmas in Japan, this won't be a problem because we don't plan a full-fledged expansion - at least not me. But it's conceivable for the US promotions here that this could become one. So, it will all be about fairplay and communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomemiz Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Fro m my point of view i run the same venue most Saturday for tv an 1 other select date every few weeks on a Friday with a potential Saturday closed circuit show some where down the road but not for a few months at least the Friday venues will b all over the oregon/kptv signal area to bring the action to the fans. am I ok to use local teams an celebs on my shows no one huge like mr.T an not in wrestling roles just people the local people would like to see to help attract bigger crowds?

SirEdger Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I don't think this will be a problem. I use to do it in my early days in the project by using football players as guest referees in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I don't see the problem with shared towns at all. It shouldn't be a huge deal as long as it's not on the same night. I'd say even with the NWA-AWA-WWF dynamic we generally work together on most everything. And it has worked out well so far. Why change a good thing? Also, if rain is already running his Western dates in Oregon on different days than Miz already, there is no issue to address. The only time it becomes a problem is when the two dates coincide.

spaldoni Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 For me, I try to book the venues pretty close to real life at this time, even when I venture out a bit. For example, eventually I'll head out west for a couple loops but I wont book the Oakland Coliseum or Cow Palace, instead I'll book the Kaiser Convention Center and Civic Auditorium.
