Looks like I'm lucky for Japanese dates in the first half of 1985 but not so much for the end of 1985!

[LowBlowPodcast]

There is a Japanese tour in January for wwf guys but it wasn't on these books. Hard to keep track with all the movement.

Do we need to be aware of other Japanese Tours other than the ones you listed?

[Thunderlips]

For those who want to send talent over for All Japan Tours, I will book them fairly if they are a lower mid-carder and they will get a decent push if they are mid/upper mid carder. Main event talent will get pushed very heavyily.

[Thunderlips]

The Following Gaijins should be on a tour for AJPW IN 1985.

 

Brazo De Oro , Brazo De Plata , Ben Bassarab , Curt Hennig , Davey Boy Smith , The Destroyer , Dick Slater , Dynamite Kid , Giant Haystacks , Jerry Lawler , Jesse Barr , Jimmy Valiant , Killer Kahn , Marty Jannetty , Miguel Perez Jr. , Nick Bockwinkel , Perro Aguayo , Ron Bass , Stan Hansen , Steve Regal , Ted Dibiase , Texas Red (Cousin Luke) , Tim Horner

We are going to try and follow this schedule as much as possible. I see some names on your list not on here. You will have to work with the individuals who have rights to these guys in order to set up dates outside of the Japanese tours.

[rainmakerrtv]

Is Giant Kimala on the second tour Ben Peacock AKA New Guinea Man Eater/Botswana Beast who is on my full time roster, or is it the original James Harris version of Kamala?

The dates need to be up front so we can plan around them... no one will send people on a whim... if they are scheduled and we have it down we will work from there. It isn't a complex system, just takes a little work to get set up. You've got 19 days to get it put together so we can plan around it.

Is it really necessary to have all of the tour dates in our imaginary universe line up precisely with what happened in "the real world" universe in 1985? I'm thinking that now that we have in-this-universe AJPW and NJPW being booked by actual human beings, it might be more fun to just negotiate tour dates between promoters. The danger, of course, is that people might refuse to allow their top guys to go to Japan at all, but from what I have seen everyone here seems pretty good about working together.

 

Having top gaijin workers on our cards is very important for the Japanese promotions, obviously. New Japan's booking in 1985 was absolutely dependent on it.

 

But...

 

My feeling is that this is a different world from what really happened in 1985. To just copy what happened then seems less creative to me than working out our own ideas.

 

I'm open to whatever works best for everyone else, though.

I am all for that and I would be willing to work out deals for who you needed. This has been my thoughts all along.

I honestly think it is going to be up to the promoters in the US. I think we put it to a vote and then we base it off that.

 

I know me personally, I have booked myself around having the Bulldogs and Hogan gone for periods of time so I will try to stay strict with it... but I think that we have some discussion that needs to happen and I will open a thread on it in just a moment and we will figure it out from there.
