Grimmas Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 There are cities and places that are not being run by certain promotions an I wanted to start a thread where people can ask if anybody has a problem with them running those towns. I have a dilemma for my September schedule. I have a long drive from the Maritimes to Windsor, Ontario (20 hours) and would love to stop along the way and have a show somewhere, the problem is Parv and maybe somebody else being annoyed by this. First: 9/13 Berwick Arena in Berwick, Nova Scotia 9/17 either Niagra Falls or Windsor That's a three day stretch to do a 20 hour drive (17 for Niagra Falls), not soooo horrible. It's the worst my territory has to offer. However, if I could take one of those three days to run a show that would be awesome. During that drive I cross through New Hapshire, Maine, Boston, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester... The other thing is... when I run Windsor, I am like 30 minutes from Detroit, Michigan and it would be mighty nice to run a show there. Can I run any of these places?
goodhelmet Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 If someone has a problem with it, they should speak up. If not, run them.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 As a way of cementing the good working relationship between WWF and MLW, I can offer this: - You can run shows in those towns with joint WWF-MLW branding. - Send dates to me in advance. If date is set to clash with one of my shows such as 9/13, which is a Tuesday, I can work out who to send in advance for a double shot. Expect to see SD Jones in a town near you! - Jack Tunney would essentially be running the area under secondment from Vince McMahon, as long as co-branding is kept in place.

I would have no issues with that. Like we both send 4 matches in? I would love to run Detroit on Sept 23rd. That would be ideal. Other ones that would be nice for September 14th in Boston 15th in Syracuse or Albany 16th or 17th in Buffalo. In October I can work it more around your schedule.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 No no no. Detroit, Boston and other such obvious key WWF towns, no. I'm talking Ontario, Nova Scotia, the Canadian part of the territory.
goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I would be interested in running joint shows with MLW in Boston, Detroit & Buffalo.
Grimmas Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 Wwf can not run in Canada. Sorry an impasse I guess
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Hold on, we might still be able to work something out.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Okay, these are the towns I'm running: - Responsibility of Vince McMahon Sr:Buffalo, NY - Memorial AuditoriumGlens Falls, NY - Civic CenterLong Island, NY - Nassau ColiseumPoughkeepsie, NY - Mid-Hudson Civic CenterQueens, NY - Ridgewood Groves ArenaRochester, NY - War MemorialStaten Island, NY - Wagner CollegeUtica, NY - Memorial Auditorium- Responsibility of Vince McMahon Jr:Hartford, CT - Civic CenterNew Haven, CT - ColiseumSpringfield, MA - Civic CenterWorcester, MA - Auditorium- Responsibility of Phil Zacko:Hamburg, PA - FieldhouseHarrisburg, PA - Zembo Temple Mosque aka "The House of Pete Doherty"Johnstown, PA - Cambria County War Memorial ArenaPittsburgh, PA - Civic ArenaScranton, PA - CYC- Responsibility of Gorilla Monsoon:Baltimore, MD - Civic CenterManchester, NH - JFK ColiseumPortland, ME - Civic CenterWilmington, DE - Memorial HallSecondary Markets 1 (Mid-America):- Responsibility of Larry Matysik under the supervision of Dr Jerry von Kramer:Akron, OH - Physical Education BuildingCanton, OH - Civic CenterCleveland, OH - Convention CenterWarren, OH - WD Packard Music HallDetroit, MI - Cobo ArenaSecondary Markets 2 (West Coast):- Responsibility of Mike Le Bell under the supervision of Dr Jerry von Kramer:Los Angeles, CA - Sports ArenaLos Angeles, CA - Olympic AuditoriumSan Diego, CA - Sports ArenaSan Jose, CA - Outdoor Soccer StadiumPhoenix, AZ - Veterans Memorial Coliseum We could add: - Responsibility of Jack Tunney (co-branded shows with MLW), working with Gorilla Monsoon: - Any town in Maine that isn't Portland (10 mile radius) - Any town in Michigan that isn't Detroit (10 mile radius) - Any town in Vermount
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know if this is the right spot, but I wanted to clarify that I'd be running in Houston with Mid-South. I hope that doesn't ruffle any feathers. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I thought this was all inclusive for running towns.
El Boricua Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know if this is the right spot, but I wanted to clarify that I'd be running in Houston with Mid-South.

goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I was considering running Houston since it was open but the fans in Houston were used to loaded cards which is not something I can give them. So I really have no problems with it.
dawho5 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Perhaps Matt D puts together Houston shows bi-weekly or monthly? Could be Mid South main evented with people sent from different promotions.
KrisZ Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Houston was Mid-South at this point with added attractions.
goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Just imagine the people of Boston, Detroit & Buffalo getting to see a stacked card of Greg Valentine, Rick Martel, Ivan Koloff, Wahoo McDaniel, Jesse Ventura, Rocky Johnson, Killer Khan, Tully Blanchard, David Von Erich, Jim Duggan, Mr. Saito, The Fabulous Ones, Eddie Gilbert....they might forget all about the WWF.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I think Joe Blanchard should be blacklisted for trying to provoke a war.
goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Blacklisted from what exactly? The NWA he is not a part of?
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Anybody working with you. The NWA has a proud history of icing out promotions who try to step on their turf.
goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not sure why anyone would rush to the WWF's aid seeing as they are the one already burning bridges while Southwest has been very gracious in all requests for it's talents. We also don't put a bunch of silly restrictions on how to use our talent outside of the Southwest area seeing as it won't get back to the fans in Texas anyway.
Grimmas Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 I'll work with both, but am not going to start a war.
goc Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 This is likely for the best. Joe Blanchard's eyes were bugging out of his head when he was looking at the costs of airfare to fly half the roster to the Northeast.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Joe Blanchard should wind his neck in and keep his beak out of affairs that do not concern him whatsoever.
