spaldoni Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wow a lot of great things happening in the AWA. The Guerreros might be dropping singles matches but together they remain 6 man champs. Love that Pillman moment. Regal and Finley will never disappoint. The Pipers Pit/Snakepit feud is one of my favorite things going. SpiveyMania continues to run wild. Bam Bam continues to dominate. Hmmmm, a Spivey/Bam Bam showdown would be a lot of fun. Ron Garvin debuts and dismantles Larry Z to win the Canadian title, great moment. I'm liking this Martel/Adams program. Steamboat with a strong defense against Saito and the smirk on Bock's face says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawho5 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Tanaka vs. Pillman would have brought the house down in Calgary. Simmons/Jack and Roberts/Piper on one card is insanity. Black Irish/British Bullies would be a great one. Main in Alberta would have been all kinds of brawl-y fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I was wondering about having the main in Calgary be the defense of the number 3 singles title, but I figured the Stampeders connection and the potential for match quality would be enough of a draw. When I added regular Sunday shows in small markets, the idea was for the rookies to get more experience in matches against each other or trainers, with a sprinkling of super stars to bring in the fans. I've started working in the idea that some of the wrestlers would take advantage of the fact that they were working off the beaten path and would try some experimentation in their matches, have some fun, and maybe get a little crazy. Hence Simmons/Cactus, Piper/Roberts, and the main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Very smart for you to use Pillman in that main event in Calgary given the circumstances. Fully aware of the backstory between Pillman and the city of Calgary secured you a crowd pleaser in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Douglas with a huge win over the Vet Burke. Z Man continues his solo win streak taking Larry Z down. Looks like Larry has better luck with Saito as his partner. Dundee/Sawyer is a fun match. Love Piper and Roberts brawling to a double DQ. I would of paid good money to see that Spivey/Nord clash. Simmons and Cactus in a falls count anywhere match is gold. Rose and Sommers continue their great reign as champs. Tanaka/Pillman tore the house down. Your cards give something for every kind of fan.

gordi Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Pillman vs Tanaka would have been a tough act to follow in Calgary. I agree with the general consensus that putting it on last was the right way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Rain, you have one of the most versatile rosters in the game right now! Something for everyone, brawlers, high flyers, technicians, veterans, rookies, mixed with big names, and tons of internatinal flavor. These last two cards really highlight that so well. I love the team of Saito/Zybysko. I agree that Pillman vs. Tanaka absolutely works as a main in Calgary. Piper vs. Jake is such a great fued with so much potential.
