Round Up
Evolution Wrestling:- Current Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
Canada's EW welcome a crop of ex WWE talent, who should prove popular with fans, although they aren't without their baggage in the form of past management run-ins and 'personal demons'

Fast Track Wrestling - Fan Perception = Hybrid
The UKs FWA continued it policy of bringing in proven mat techinicians and ultimate fighters.

Honour Pro Wrestling - Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
Honour Pro saw the influx of some strong style workers with backgrounds in Japan. The fed is still perceived by fans as a sports entertainment based fed, however.

New Independant Wrestling Alliance - Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
NIWA continued to add a mixture of styles to it's lockeroom and while the fans still currently see this as a sports entertainment based fed, it is capable of evolving in a number of different directions.

Smackdown Wrestling - Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
An interesting round for Smackdown Wrestling, which saw a number of shoot fighters sign up. A new direction for Smackdown? They certainly have a wealth of technical ability at their disposal now.

Ultimate Wrestling Federation - Fan Perception = Hardcore
Mainitaing the smallest roster of all the feds and also the youngest, the fans currently see this feds mixture of brawling, technical ability and risk taking as likely to develop into a Hardcore based fed.

World Championship Wrestling - Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
WCW, which has already begun promoting it's first title match, boast the oldest, erm, I mean, most experienced locker-room. Again, boosted by a mixture of styles, this fed will probably try to appeal to a broad fan base.

Worldwide Wrestling Corporation - Fan Perception = Sports Entertainment
Another experience fed, WWC brought in more superstars who have been everywhere and done it all. Their experience could prove vital.

Worldwide Xtreme Wrestling - Fan Perception = Old School
WXW broadened their roster with a number of superstars from around the world. Kawada's fed currently boasts the most diverse mixture of nationalities amongst the federations.

Joining the other wrestlers searching for independent bookings this week, we have:- The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond), three of the world famous Gracie brothers (Renzo, Royler and Rickson), a pair of European Ultimate fighters (Emilianenko and Vorchachyn) Carlto's father (Carlos Colon), Ultimate Fighter Dan Severn, Jim Duggan and the repulsive Joanie Laurer.

I couldn't believe the talent they wasted in Lance Storm. They gave the Intercontinental title to him and even then he was treated like a jobber. Ended up on Heat. Not on my show.

Thought i read somewhere about his knee being hurt. Don't blame him if he did get bored

I think he just retired. He's back in training for the ECW show so I assume there is nothing wrong with him.

Hmmm shall take all of Storm's and Benoit's talents me thinks. Hasn't Storm got a serious injury or did he retire just because he wasn't getting a deserved push?

Benoit and Storm will drag a match out of him. Plus, he has marketing potential. :)

Undertaker and top main events? This isn't 1997 you know GP :-D

Hehe, I know. I thought that I had better take a different line to most as everyone would attempt to go for the known names and the high flyers. I'm happy with the potential of Benoit, Lance Storm, Ken Shamrock and The Undertaker to put some top main events on. :)

Bloody hell GP are you trying to run your own UFC or something :-D

I'd say Figo got the best out of that round

damn you Ravennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn .....cough..... ahem Woo hoo got Liger and a bunch of other Japanese talent. Going to be some stiff wrestling action in my fed :-D

And i got the TRUTH as well. Nice. As well as Alfonso. E-C-Dub!!! E-C-Dub!!! E-C-Dub!!!

Battle of the music gimmicks as well me thinks with the cat and disco inferno

Oh yes! I really wanted Lance Storm. Benoit V Lance Storm are going to put together some excellent matches. I've got a few talented brawlers and technical guys and some potential too.
