SirEdger Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm confused here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Are you sure? I requested Keichi Yamada be added to the Free Agent list more than 24 hrs after I picked up Terry Boy. I'm pretty sure AJPW and NJPW were waiting for me to pick up Ymamada and cut one of my guys. What am I missing here? A mistake on my end. Â Wait... isn't Yamada=Liger? Â If not, who is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 MY mistake, as well! KeiICHI Yamada is Liger. KeiSUKE Yamada is one of my Osaka Pro drinking buddies (which is why it would be kind of a dick move/I would be all butt-hurt if somebody else snagged him after I requested he be added): Â Â Â Â The man who would be Black Buffalo actually had a dark match on the IWA Death Match Tourney card (twenty years ago last week): Â Keisuke Yamada & Keizo Matsuda defeated Yoshihiro Tajiri & Taisuke Tagami via pinfall (11:44) Â It was while researching Tajiri that I found out my old drinking buddy (although he himself doesn't imbibe) was already active in '95. Â I am genuinely curious if SirEdger or LowBlowPodcast were trying to steal him from me, or if they were after the guy I want to cut to make room for him. Â Also, if I do get him, I maybe need to figure out a different gimmick for him, since Black Buffalo is pretty Osaka-specific (Orix Buffaloes Baseball Team).

LowBlowPodcast Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 All Japan doesnt need the hassle... he can go wherever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah, M-Pro can take him of course. Â Sorry about the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Cheers. And... I guess All Japan and New Japan (and UWFi and FMW) can fight over who gets Satoshi "Joe-Joe Lee" Kojima, whom I am cutting to make room for Black Buffalo. (I think he'll keep the name for now, it can be a heel thing, supporting another city's team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 WCW signs Aja Kong for the following dates; first of September (for photo-shoot and a taped promo/interview),ninth of September through to the twenty fifth (on a four match deal).

SirEdger Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I call dibs on Kojima! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was wondering when somebody was gonna grab him. I wonder if there's anyone on your roster he might be able to form a tag team with down the line. Maybe someone who has spent some time in Europe, like Kojima has?

SirEdger Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well, there are a couple like Manabu Nakanishi, Keiji Muto and of course, Hiroyoshi Tenzan. I guess my better option at the moment would be to jump ahead and form The Bull Powers now rather than wait in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 So, gordi, do you officially release Kojima? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Then, in this case, NJPW officially signs Satoshi Kojima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Does anyone else buy Negro Casas: UWFi worker. Cuz...you know...maybe? I could see that working. He's one of the few luchadores that I could see working that style. Kinda. Â For the love of god someone pick up Negro Casas so I don't have to throw out the 8months of cards I've put together and rethink everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 As I'm putting fantasy cards together. I'm coming to realize that more doesn't necessarily equal better. Apparently, it really is possible to have too much of a good thing. If Liger the and Ultimo Dragon both got dropped tomorrow... of course I'd add them... but it would mean more wrestlers doing jobs when I'd prefer to put them over, more guys stuck in the mid-card when I'd rather be moving them up the ladder. My opinion (and of course you may not agree) is that we both need more young guys and cannon fodder... if we need anything at all. More top-line workers might just create log jams.

elliott Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Oh I agree. That's why I drafted guys like Tatsuo Nakano, Miyato, Osamu Kido, Yatsu instead of picking up Kohsaka & Yamamoto who are younger, could immediately be put in a drawing position against certain opponents and are great wrestlers. Â I mean, I have guys like Regal & Finlay and in 2016 we say "Oh shit, Regal & Finlay." But really, Regal & Finlay didn't mean jack shit in Japan in 1995. Â Casas is sort of a guy like that. He doesn't have much/if any value as a "draw" but is a veteran superworker so he can help younger guys along and can lose because he's not really a guy being counted on to draw. Unless someone was trying to turn him into a star of course. Casas is valuable precisely because he's not really a guy you could ever build a promotion around in the mid 90s in Japan or the United States so he doesn't have to be protected. His value is that he has good matches and there is always a place for good matches on a wrestling card. Â I also am running once a monthish won't have everyone work every card. And other than my light heavyweight tournament, the smallest building I'm running over the next 8 months is Sumo Hall. So while I agree I think it is possible to have too much of a good thing for sure, I'd rather have THAT problem than a not enough talent problem. Â Just wait till UWFi raids All Japan and steals Kawada. The perfect loser to put over everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Good points. Â I also agree that Kawada's at his very best when he's putting other people over. Then again, that's probably true of the vast majority of great pro wrestlers.

Grimmas Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Think about Casas is he is in college, so he's only available for occasional shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Danny Spivey's in ring career is over in October but All Japan can get some use out of him until then... unless we want to act like he never got injured by Diesel...

elliott Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm wondering if the following could be added to the list (sorry if they're on the list or were in the draft and I overlooked them when I was cross referencing shows: 1. Dick Murdoch had his last match 5/96 against Fujiwara (and should probably team with Terry Funk in FMW going for the Brass Knucks tag titles) 2. James Stone (Little Guido) had been in UWFi and working US indies. Could be a good fit for anyone obviously. 3. Halloween/Ciclope - Did he ever work WAR or wherever Damian 666 worked to get on the list? Those two were like the poor man's version of Rey/Psic in that they went everywhere together. There could be a sweet lucha invasion of FMW 4. VIctor Zangiev 5. Salman Hashimikov  Last 2 are big russians who worked the first ever Tokyo Dome show (Zangiev had that classic match with Hashimoto) and went on to be frequently used gaijin by UWfi.

Scarlet-Left Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Would it be possible for me to sign Ricky Steamboat as a non-wrestler? That's what I'd like to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
