Beast Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 This will be open until the end of Sunday 7/5 EST or once all NWA voters have voted or once a majority choice is reached. I will only vote in case of a tie or to finalize a majority vote. If you vote for OTHER, please identify your choice in a post. The final rankings may influence future choices for champion. Discussion of when the title will change hands and length of the next reign will occur following this vote. Nothing is set in stone. If a wrestler is chosen, but their home promoter does not want them to become touring champion at this time, their reign will be delayed until a possible future date and the role will go to the 2nd place finisher.

goodhelmet Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 If nobody hits a majority (9 votes), we should have a runoff like we did for President with the top two choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Is there really no support for Martel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think the main deal right now is that the Race/Flair deal is so close at this time of the game although they hadn't shot the bounty angle yet so the build for Starrcade hadn't actually started.....

dawho5 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 That was my thinking. They were already building towards Flair at least trying for the belt in November. We don't *have* to keep Flair as champ forever if he gets it though. Maple Leaf is booking a Flair vs. Martel feud that could be leveraged into an NWA Championship feud in the future. It would probably take some more American exposure to Martel to work as well as it ought to, Martel would make a great champ. He could go more into a more arrogant, "model" type gimmick where he had to work heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Beast, why weren't all the names nominated added to the ballot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Beast, why weren't all the names nominated added to the ballot? I only added names mentioned at least twice. It was said in the original discussion post - "a poll with the most common choices". "Other" was added just in case someone like Martel or Kerry Von Erich had a groundswell of support.

Beast Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Voting ends in 9 1/2 hours El Boricua, Dylan Waco, Wahoo's Leg, Grimmas, peachchaos, JHawk, and lowblowpodcast still need to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Ugh.... we might as well put him in a title match at Starrcade with Gene Kiniski as the ref. Zzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 No reason it has to happen exactly the same way that it did. And who's to say Flair won't lose the belt in a year or sooner? There are all kinds of possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Maple Leaf Gardens would gladly host the title change match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think it kinda needs to happen in Greensboro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 MACW runs Greensboro 1-2 times a month so it doesn't necessarily have to happen on Thanksgiving, but yes that's the lead contender right now. That could turn into a Flair defense easily though. I'll discuss it with you all here, with my booker Lowblowpodcast, and with the NWA Vice-Presidents before finalizing anything.

KrisZ Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Greensboro is the home market for the promotion....the big building like Flair always says plus the title has never changed there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I agree in the fact that the "switch" doesn't have to be at Starrcade but could definitely happen before and if it is in Greensboro, we could make it a special event. The question would then be looking at who would challenge at Starrcade if Race isn't in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'll just say that if it stays at Starrcade, it will be markedly different than the cage match with Kiniski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
