  1. Shocked by the Joey Minnesota get. Who was bidding for him and how excited are you to have him?
  2. Shocking news from Larry Vessey. Did you look to grab anyone from WINNOW, ALPHA, CWW or IPW? I love CWW, and I'd hate to see them just shut down. Not like you're touring the UK any time soon...
  3. I mean, I'd belt up Ron Simmons ASAP. Florida guy like Luger, great sports pedigree, good representative for WCW going forward, could be the first guy that Kip 'makes' as part of his new production model.
  4. Surprised you didn't filch Aztec Warfare and call it Imperial Strife.
  5. Could have always cut the middleman out and gone with WWE. Will the Tag Titles at least be the main event titles for the B-show?
  6. First of all, the name is terrible. Empire Elite Entertainment sounds like a holding company for nightclubs in SoCal's Inland Empire. Tell me what the other names you were considering. Empire Pro Wrestling or Empire Wrestling Federation had to be considered, surely. With that said, the idea of switching things up to go national while retaining NYCW as an FCW / NXT B-Show model is fine, and kind of expected at this point. Though I don't know how I feel about an NYCW Nationwide title. Keeping NYCW as a tag company with no singles titles could have been very cool.
  7. Surprised that you're making this kind of narrative shift, tbh. Curious to see what you're plotting...
  8. Interesting decision, if all rather too international for a southern product like WCW. Its a shame that all the titles are being retired as a result, given the inherent value of the NWA title, but now we'll have to wait and see how the booking plays out...
  9. Brutus Milano needs to be locked down for the long term.
  10. Is it just me or have you been incredibly consistent in strangle-holding the COTT World Tag Team titles?
  11. The model you have is fine, I think. It's certainly a blast from the past from older generations of TEW.
  12. Surprised you didn't think to try a transition to touring with a highlights show.
  13. The Biggins Boys set to take those tag titles straight to the main event.
  14. My problem is committing to a regular roster. I sign people and then I want them gone six shows in.
  15. I'm definitely reading all of them. Always enjoyed your dynasties, never had the discipline to try and mimic them.
  16. I was gonna suggest you maybe use some of the White Canvas Grappling titles (I think there's an International one!) that you could use to better reflect it not being 'Black Canvas' approved. Small world! I was the one who requested it, based on a short-lived yet endlessly fascinating dynasty called Bushido Pro! The visuals and colors stuck with me and I suggested it to Christian who absolutely nailed the look! I've sometimes used it as a title for a Fighting TV Samurai equivalent called Shogun TV that launches its own televised promotion.
  17. Nice to see the American title make an appearance. I once set up a scenario where I realized I had so many Texas-originating wrestlers that I wound up setting up Texas Rules (Deathmatch and Tornado) for whenever they held single and tag titles Not sure about the Six-Man titles. I feel like that's always hard to pull off.
  18. This might be an odd tangent for me to touch on, but for me, ZERO-1's vibe and roster thematics lend itself very well to these things: 1. 2000s gaijin of the kick-and-grapple kind, not big hosses ala AJPW 2. ex-NJPW veterans, particularly who were around when Hashimoto was, even tangientially and 3. people with some sort of combat sports background, be it judo, karate, mma or sumo. This might be a "no shit" mentality, but I think that ZERO-1 grabbing onto a bunch of ex-indie guys from BJW, FMW, etc... in the early 2000s really contribute to their brand's decline as a cohesive thing until it became nothing more than a super-indie and then just an indie. Masato Tanaka was an incredible talent (and still is, IMO!), but I think he kind of heralded a tendency to just sign guys who had a modicum of popularity but not much synergy.
  19. Masato Tanaka & Shinjiro Otani vs. CW Anderson & Steve Corino Ryouji Sai vs. Katsuyori Shibata NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship: Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita © vs. Kaz Hayashi & Katsuhiko Nakajima Kohei Sato & Yoshihito Sasaki vs. Rikiya Fudo & Tomoaki Honma Fuyuki Takahashi, KAMIKAZE & Takuya Sugawara vs. Keiji Sawaragi, Mammoth Sasaki & Hi69 GENTARO vs. Osamu Namiguchi Matt Sydal & Jack Evans vs. Taichi Ishikari & Tatsuhito Takaiwa
  20. You should find the worst wrestler in the database and put him in the roster with those guys to see how well he improves.
  21. Pretty interesting. I always felt that ZERO-1 became pointless after Hashimoto died as anything other than a random super-indie in Japan (point proven given it's decline in the past decade), so it'll be interesting to see you shape it's identity this early on. Frankly, besides the Fire Festival Sword I was never a big mark for their events. Tally ho, CGN91!
  22. I've started looking at the Grand Prix ala the Formula 1. Twenty wrestlers in a round-robin, which makes for nineteen shows. The wrestler with the most wins wins the Grand Prix. I hate the Challenger Series title. One of the renders made for it has three medallions that go with the title, so I do three matches every tour for the medallions, and then the medallion holders challenge the champion. If one of them wins before hand, the others still challenge, and then it restarts the next tour. No one who was in a medallion challenge match the prior tour can be on the following one.
  23. I like that you have that comfort level of booking an all-gaijin main event. That feels very 1980s All Japan, Funks vs. Brody & Hansen to me.
