goodhelmet Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't know how well this is going to go over but I want to throw it out there anyway... nobody saw Dylan leaving and he has his reasons but I don't think he will be the last. Sometimes, life is just oging to get the best of people. My first thought when Portland went down, was to give it to Vancouver. My first thought if ICW went down would be to give it to Memphis, etc. Would you be interested in coming up with a territory merge system where when somebody drops out, a sister territory "wins the war". So lets say Kris has Georgia... the sister territory would be Southeastern or JCP. ICW is to Memphis. WWF to Toronto. WWA to AWA, etc. So, if goc drops out of San Antonio, Fritz wins the war and Jesse Ewiak would get Southwest and merge with WCCW and vice versa. This is what I was thinking from the territories we have... Portland - Vancouver Florida - Puerto Rico Memphis - ICW Southwest - WCCW AWA - WWA Central States- Mid South Georgia - Southeastern Stampede - Montreal JCP or WWF - Maple Leaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Joe Blanchard accepts this arrangement but would also like it to be known that WCCW will only win the war over his cold, dead body. But you still can't take all the talent in one swoop. You can have the territory but talent has to be dispersed. I am ok with the KrisZ idea of letting the person who is doing the merger decide who to keep off the roster but if you bring one from the dead territory you should also have to displace someone from your own roster to go into a draft.

This is fine. The whole purpose is to see if somebody over the long haul can actually pull a Vince McMahon. It gets real interesting when you take over and have to run twice the towns and plays into Parv's "winning the game' theory. Can somebody actually maintain this long enough for everyone else to drop off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I kind of like this, since it mimics real life. Maybe even add in that the winner of the war gets to take a couple of pieces of talent and the rest goes into allocation draft. By the way Toronto will go national at some point, so I am ready to incorporate Montreal, Stampede, Vancouver, Portland, WWF and AWA when the time comes. Outside of that... I think that is as large as Maple Leaf Wrestling should get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmakerrtv Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not wanting to make things more complicated, but what would be the provision for re-opening a territory? If , say, 6 months or so down the line, somebody new wants to join in the fun, what could we do to allow them to join in? Or should we just burn that bridge when we come to it?

I think when someone leaves we take a little while before merging out the talent. If somebody wants to join the game they go on the waiting list and if someone backs out the first person the waiting list gets the promotion, if nobody is on the list the promotion folds.

Flyin' Brian Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I like that idea too, although I'm with Goc that Memphis can have ICW over my dead body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 It is an interesting and fun concept, but as booker of JCP, we kind of get the shaft due to the fact that MLW is doing pretty good and would definitely be a promotion running for some time. There could be a different way to pair up and/or randomize it somehow. If it was reality, JCP would be up against Georgia, Mid South, Florida, and some of those other territories that they absorbed over the years while the WWF really took over the northern promotions. A good start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Toronto and Montreal is 4 hour drive apart. Calgary and Montreal is 36 hour drive apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Toronto and Montreal is 4 hour drive apart. Calgary and Montreal is 36 hour drive apart. Fair point. We need to work on the groupings then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Geographically the best expansion for JCP would be to go north of Richmond, VA & the best expansion for WWF would be to go south of Washington DC so I think maybe they should be paired up. JCP - Florida doesn't really work because you have to cross over Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Pairing WWF and MLW is silly, because Parv and I will never quit. I think it should be a case by case basis based on when people quit and geography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 We can always do Puerto Rico-Japan. No need to stress over the pairings. I was giving more of a template than a concrete solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Whatever it is, we should be clear going forward where each promotion's guys go before the next person quits. It will save on the arguing when two or three people want guys from a territory and have even a semi-valid claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Here is what I got looking at the territory map. With 19 territories, something is going to be the odd one out so I left Southwest out as I have stuff planned out to get me to at least July 1984. Portland - VancouverStampede - AWAToronto - MontrealJCP - WWFFlorida - Puerto RicoGeorgia - SoutheasternMemphis - ICWMid-South - WCCWCentral States - WWA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I have main event storylines involving the big 8 until 1986 backed up. So unless soemthing really major happens that kills me on wrestling in general I think I'm around for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawho5 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh only the first 6 months are more than just a bar skeleton of "this feud, followed by this feud" type stuff. If I had time I could actually write every show out for the first 6 months right now, but I'm not going to spend all day and night doing that. Google Chrome works for C & P so by the end of the weekend I should have most of July done anyway. I still have internets research to do on my wrestlers and 5 discs of AWA to power through before I start on Memphis. Sometimes I am too ambitious for my own good.

goc Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The wrestling fans of the Dallas area are begging for wrestling action! Joe Blanchard has changed his mind and is now ruminating on changing the loop to a triangle and running just 3 shows a week in Houston, Dallas & San Antonio if Fritz doesn't get it together and give his guys some work.

Wahoos Leg Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 So, what's going to be the rules on this talent absorption deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I thought it was fairly well laid out in the other thread. The person who takes over the dead promotion has to provide enough talent for everyone to get 1 new roster member. So in your case you take 4 guys off the Portland roster off the top and if you want to keep anyone else from Portland you have to drop a Vancouver guy. So pretty much pick 18 guys between Vancouver and Portland to put into a draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
