"Forum Idea - 'Promotion Wars'"

Like Grandprix, I have been scratching my head to come up with something that could fill the void left by the untimely demise of SRW and have come up with the idea of having a 'Promotion' competition.

This would involve, to start with, a draft of real-life superstars by all those who enter and therafter submission of a show to the organiser (me) each week consisting of a match listing and results and a very brief overview of the storylines (if any) involved in each match. Each weekly show would have a two-hout 'time budget' for the 'promoter' to allocate as they see fit. As an indicator of each promotions success, an attendance and critical review of each show would be added by myself. The attendance and critical ratings would be determined by such factors as technical ability and overness of the wrestelrs involved, logical booking, fan loyalty etc.

If anyone is interested or would like me to fill any blanks let me know and if there is enough interest, I'll start drawing up a list of wrestlers for the draft.

Sounds good. I'll write something for it if I'm wanted to... :)

Yep, trading will be organised between promoters. So, if you wanted someone from garndprix's promotion and he was happy to take someone from yours in return, then you could sort this out between yourselves. As organiser, I would need a confirmation e-mail from both parties involved before any moves become official.

There will also be a pool of 'free' wrestlers, who you'll be able to trade for an active member of your roster at any point. The only restriction will be on injured wrestlers, who you won't be allowed to trade.

Will there also be trading and signing wrestlers so if someone releases a wrestler another promotor can sign that talent if they want to?

can i be myself? :D

Christopher Daniels will be included, but it will be up to whoever drafts him to determine which gimmick he uses.

I believe it's so that those watching can learn from the people who are in the ring. See unlike American wrestling where a wrestler is under no pressure to improve his in-ring skills from the day he makes his debut until the day he retires, Japanese wrestlers are constantly trying to improve and learning from each other is a big part of this. It also comes down to it being a tradition.

Don't care just as long as Curry Man is included :-D Chuck a few in from GAEA as well please


Speaking of which been meaning to ask you, do you know why the wrestlers stand by ringside each match in Japan? Noticed it alot watching GAEA and New Japan

I'll try and include as many wrestlers as I can from America and the UK. You'll have to excuse my ignorance of Japanes wrestlers, I can never remember their names, but well-known Japs (eg Lyger) will be included.

Dammit, i want him so i can job him out to every one :-D

By the way is it just WWE wrestlers here or well known wrestlers from everywhere so the likes of Low Ki and AJ Styles will also be included??

(sorry to busy once again slating HHH to read the original idea :-D)

No...not yet, just thought it would be funny if you did. I'm going to be busy tonight extracting a list of wrestlers from EWR for the draft!
