Quite right, sir. I completely forgot about Adonis and the Original Midnight Express. Probably because it was quite shortlived. Good catch.

1987' in Jim Crockett Promotions. Paul E.Dangerously managing a stable of; - 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert - 'Big' Scott Hall - 'Perfect' Curt Hennig - 'Ravishing' Rick Rude - Missy Hyatt At the moment I'm just edging towards naming them The Dangerous Alliance and bringing that name in early. I've also got Gilbert & Hall with excellent chemistry as tag partners. Rude & Hennig (hopefully) will also end up as tag partners. I've also got a stable of; - Sting - Barry Windham - Rick Steiner - Scott Steiner - Ron Simmons At the moment these guys have no name. Powerhouse USA was an idea but I'm not overly keen on it. Any name suggestions for the combinations and the stable would be appreciated.

Ah shit, here we go again. I'm strapped in and ready, sir.

<p>I'm not completely familiar with the history of the Japanese scene and, more specifically, the history of PGHW. Danger Kumasaka is 62 years old and will retire at some point this year but how do I go about it?</p><p> </p><p> Does anyone with a knowledge of the lore of Japanese scene and PGHW in previous iterations have an idea as to what names he may have fought in the past or how I could go about booking his retirement?</p>

A few WWF names in the mix, but mostly WCW originals.<p> </p><p> <em>Highlights: Nikita Koloff defeats Ric Flair for the WCW title at Halloween Havoc 1991, Rick Rude wins the BattleBowl to become #1 contender ar Starrcade</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>1.

Lots of people, apparently, as the Television title changed hands 31 times in 1992 - but only 5 of the champions (Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Dustin Rhodes, Steve Austin and Vinnie Vegas) managed 5 successive defences to gain a shot at the title of their choice, and only Rhodes and Austin won the titles they challenged for! WCW is the home of fierce competition!</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>2. Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude ©, WCW World title at Clash XX</strong></p><p> </p><p> A classic rivalry, and an early contender for MOTY. Did anyone think Steamboat was likely to end Rude's reign at 4 weeks? Maybe not - but on free TV this elevated a show where the semi-final was Marcus Bagwell vs. Michael Hayes...</p><p> </p><p> <em>Highlights: Ultimate Warrior debuts in WCW and offers challenges to anyone who wants to face him - leading to a months-long war with Big Van Vader to determine who truly is the greatest warrior in WCW!</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>3.

Sting, Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes, Randy Savage and Scott Steiner vs. the Dangerous Alliance, War Games match at Wrestle War</strong></p><p> </p><p> Brutal, bloody, devastating... And that was just the build up as the Alliance devastated all in their path, putting Rick Steiner and Lex Luger into retirement and breaking Barry Windham's arm. The fan favourites got revenge on the night, but no-one came out of this carnage unscathed.</p><p> </p><p> <em>Highlights: Cactus Jack's brutal 1992 including being run down by a car, a cage war with Nikita Koloff and attracting the unwelcome attention of Big Van Vader</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>5.

Bret Hart vs. Arn Anderson, Clash XXIV</strong></p><p> </p><p> Technician vs. technician, Hitman vs. Enforcer, just a straight up fantastic match, and sometimes that's fine</p><p> </p><p> <em>Highlights:The fall of Scott Steiner, from tag champion with his brother to being forced to scramble for a partner, Steiner seemed to have found the ideal man to stand by his side in Randy Savage, but Steiner's growing anger and paranoia turned the UMichigan graduate into a raging bull, uncontrollable and uncaring!</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>7. Randy Savage vs. Scott Steiner, Last Man Standing at Clash XXIV</strong></p><p> </p><p> Had the Machon Man met his match in the form of the unrestrained Steiner? As formidable as Savage is, Steiner proved himself just as wild, and even more athletic as he delivered a Frankensteiner onto the steel steps for the win - and Savage has noticeably steered clear of Steiner after the long layoff that followed!</p><p> </p><p> <em>Highlights: Ric Flair's fall and rise from World champion to self-doubting recluse to manager of hot prospects to #1 contender to the World title</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>8. </strong><strong>Ric Flair vs. Rick Rude ©, WCW World Title at Halloween Havoc</strong></p><p> </p><p> If you really want to put someone over in WCW, you can give them eight months with the World title, or have them go over Ric Flair, and both are probably equally as effective.

Rhodes & Windham vs. Calgary Connection ©, WCW World Tag Team titles in a steel cage at Halloween Havoc</strong></p><p> </p><p> Our MOTY so far, this gave Windham the chance for revenge against Brian Pillman, who helped break his arm. Windham's anger over this had cost his team in the past, and Pillman's taunting hadn't helped, but after Rhodes won the right to challenge for the tag belts he and Windham rose to the occasion - literally, as it was a cagetop superplex on Pillman that brought the gold to the Texans!</p><p> </p><p> <em>Highlights: #1 contender tournament, leading to Sting's third shot at the title after two disputed finishes and a first ever defeat for Rick Rude in a tag match at Clash XXV - or was his shoulder up?

You've honestly made me want to boot up a new WCW 91' save or restart my JCP 87' save. I'd buy your dvd collection in a heartbeat.</p>

<p>Haven't stocked the C-Verse with your renders for a while guys. Phenomal work!</p><p> </p><p> Was looking to start up a new save with 21CW</p><p> Has there been a lot of re-renders made for British based guys? I've got the Cornells and Dark Angel but are there re-renders for guys like the Ivanoffs and undercard talent that I've missed. Maybe you guys know off the top of your head as 200+ pages is a lot to sift back through, again.</p>

Aye, well I'm using the Elite Series as like a NJ Cup style tournament thus my G1 is custom made for July. But, perhaps a couple of shows celebrating the history of the company with veterans back for one off matches and such. Could be a good call.

Month long series of outstanding matches topped off with crowning the first ever tournament winner.</p><p> Now building to the Night Of Honour (August) where Magnum Kobe (G1 winner) will face Kozue Kawashima for the Glory Crown title.</p>

After taking a couple of months off of TEW, I finally went back and completed my G1 Climax tournament for PGHW in the C-Verse. Results were as follows; BLOCK A Magnum Kobe (7-2) 14 Emerald Angel (6-1-2) 13 Yoshimi Mushashibo (6-3) 12 Raymond Diaz (5-4) 10 Funakoshi (4-5) 8 Seiji Jimbo (4-5) 8 Takayuki 2000 (3-1-5) 7 Bussho Makiguchi (3-6) 6 Matthew Keith (3-6) 6 Ryomo Muruyama (3-6) 6 BLOCK B Kozue Kawashima (7-1-1) 15 PRIDE Koiso (7-2) 14 Eisaku Kunomasu (6-1-2) 13 Masaru Ugaki (6-3) 12 Razan Okamoto (4-5) 8 Buddy Garner (4-5) 8 Chojiro Kotiaji (2-7) 4 William Hayes (2-7) 4 Eien Miyamoto (2-7) 4 Akinori Kwakami (2-7) 4 Magnum Kobe defeated Mushashibo on the final night of Block A to advance while Kawashima (Current PGHW Glory Crown Champ) beat PRIDE Koiso to advance. Kobe vs Kawashima met in the final in a rematch of the Elite Series Final. This time, Kobe won to become the Inaugural G1 Climax winner granting him a title shot in 1 month (at Night of HONOUR) vs Kawashima. The MVP of the tournament, however, was Masaru Ugaki. Primarily having been a tag wrestler for years, he emerged as a brand new star in singles action for the company. The top 10 matches of the tour were as follows... Best G1 Matches: 1) Eisaku Kunomasu def. Masaru Ugaki - Block B, Night 12 (97/A*) 2) Magnum Kobe def. Kozue Kawashima - G1 Finals Night (95/A*) 3) Masaru Ugaki def. Chojiro Kitoaji - Block B.

<p>So we're 8 nights into the PGHW G1 Climax, and as we reach the half-way stage of the gruelling competition things are really starting to heat up. A few upsets have already sprung up and the match quality has been truly outstanding. Here are the latest Block standings;</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Block A</strong></p><p> Magnum Kobe (4-0) 8</p><p> Emerald Angel (3-1) 6</p><p> Funakoshi (3-1) 6</p><p> Yoshimi Mushashibo (3-1) 6</p><p> Matthew Keith (2-2) 4</p><p> Seiji Jimbo (2-2) 4</p><p> Bussho Makiguchi (1-3) 2</p><p> Raymond Diaz (1-3) 2</p><p> Takayuki 2000 (1-3) 2</p><p> Ryomo Muruyama (0-4) 0</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Block B:</strong></p><p> Masaru Ugaki (4-0) 8</p><p> PRIDE Koiso (4-0) 8</p><p> Eisaku Kunomasu (3-1) 6</p><p> Kozue Kawashima (3-1) 6</p><p> Razan Okamoto (2-2) 4</p><p> Buddy Garner (1-3) 2</p><p> Chojiro Kotiaji (1-3) 2</p><p> Eien Miyamoto (1-3) 2</p><p> William Hayes (1-3) 2 </p><p> Akinori Kwakami (0-4) 0</p><p> </p><p> Stories of the block so far - </p><p> <strong>Block A</strong></p><p> Funakoshi has been the surprise of the block so far winning 3 of his 4 matches, including a win over Yoshimi Mushashibo in an excellent bout. Emerald Angel has had a good start with his only loss coming as Raymond Diaz's only win.</p><p> Magnum Kobe is plain sailing so far but has a tough stretch with his last 3 matches coming vs Seiji Jimbo, Emerald Angel & Yoshimi Mushashibo.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Block B</strong></p><p> We pointed out in the preview that Ugaki could be the break out star and that's the case so far. An opening night win over the Glory Crown champ, Kawashima, got things off to a great start. 4 for 4 and MOTN almost every night. His ratings so far have been 95, 90, 90, 95. A far cry from his tag partner at the bottom of block A.</p><p> PRIDE is also 4-0 but these 2 meet on night 10 so something has to give. The 45 year old Kunomasu has been stellar so far, his only loss coming vs PRIDE. Kawashima lost on night 2 but has won every fight since and the #1 guy in the company is looking great.</p><p> </p><p> Of course, we're only 8 nights in with 10 more to go, plus finals night, but anything can happen in PGHW.</p>

So, aside from the farce that was the tag league (the young bucks will be in the tag match at WK every year til they retire, anyway), how are we feeling about the WK card. I'm a relatively new fan to the product but have invested some time into it and am hyped. Card looks great. Could do with Minoru Suzuki on it, but still. Also, Ibushi and Ospreay could be a show stealer.

<p><em>Hello all and welcome to our preview of the upcoming inaugural PGHW G1 Climax in 2016. The company has put on some excellent shows and bouts in the first half of the year and this should certainly raise the bar even higher. Here we'll give a preview of the blocks and the top picks from each one who could make history in this round robin tournament.</em></p><p><em> </em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">PGHW G1 Climax</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Group A</span></p><p> Seiji Jimbo</p><p> Raymond Diaz</p><p> Yoshimi Mushashibo</p><p> Takayuki 2000</p><p> Matthew Keith</p><p> Funakoshi</p><p> Ryomo Muruyama</p><p> Emerald Angel</p><p> Bussho Makiguchi</p><p> Magnum Kobe</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Group B</span></p><p> PRIDE Koiso</p><p> William Hayes</p><p> Akinori Kwakami</p><p> Buddy Garner</p><p> Kozue Kawashima</p><p> Masaru Ugaki</p><p> Eien Miyamoto</p><p> Eisaku Kunomasu</p><p> Chojiro Kotiaji</p><p> Razan Okamoto</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Top Contenders:</span></strong></p><p> Yoshimi Mushashibo - <em>Having lost his PGHW Glory Crown title to Kawashima just over a month ago (his 2nd loss to him this year), this will be a test of his mettle. A 4-time Glory Crown and 3-time winner of the Elite Series, Yoshimi has now hit 40 and isn't getting younger. He needs this to assert his place as still being #1 in the company.</em></p><p> </p><p> Magnum Kobe - <em>Has made a hot debut this year and narrowly lost in the final of the Elite Series to Kawashima. The former WLW warrior has swiftly become the hottest property in the company and could top his group if he gets the better of Mushashibo.</em></p><p> </p><p> Kozue Kawashima - <em>Current Glory Crown champion and captured his 2nd Elite Series earlier this year. This looks to be the year of Kawashima. His biggest competition should be his stablemate, PRIDE. A solid, safe bet to top the block.</em></p><p> </p><p> PRIDE Koiso - <em>Regularly still in the MOTN, PRIDE lost in the semi's of the Elite Series to Magnum Kobe. His pride was hurt and he's out for revenge on the world. PRIDE can beat anyone on his night. When he's fired up, he could be unstoppable.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">They've Got A Chance:</span></strong></p><p> Emerald Angel - <em> Defeated Simon Flemmingway for the International Title on his debut, has held the title ever since and looked confident. His aerial prowess could unsettle a lot of the ground-based wrestlers in his block and has a decent chance of doing well.</em></p><p> </p><p> Seiji Jimbo - <em>Has the pedigree to do well. Maybe hasn't hit the heights expected of him but he's still only 27. Should make a good account of himself. This might not be his year, but then again it might be. As Chuck Berry sang, 'It goes to show you never can tell'. This is especially true with a commodity like Jimbo.</em></p><p> </p><p> Eisaku Kunomasu - <em>At 45, he should be slowing down, but he seems to be better than ever before. Just fell short in his International Title match vs Emerald Angel last month, Kunomasu has the experience to win it all. A tough block but you should never count this warrior out.</em></p><p> </p><p> Masaru Ugaki - <em>Toss up between Garner and Ugaki here, the tag team specialist is ahead. Captivating in the ring, he looks like a star waiting to break out and it's only a matter of time before he and Muruyama split after their tag title loss to The Legacy. This could be Ugaki's chance to shine, especially with Muruyama in Block A.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Rest:</span></strong></p><p> With a tournament of the format of this, it's gonna be a long month of action for the stars involved and conditioning and stamina will play a monumental role in it. A niggling injury here, a surprise pin there could upset some of the top contenders and before you know it, an outsider has a real shot. There's some excellent talent in the blocks and, as we know in wrestling, anyone can beat anybody. Matthew Keith has had a good 6 months and should make waves. Raymond Diaz has a lot to prove in showing he can still hang. Buddy Garner has been impressive in his return and should do well. Akinori Kwakami hasn't had the best year but won last year's Elite Series and that wasn't a fluke. Either way, it'll be an exciting and intense 19 nights of action.</p>

<p>Ooh, hot damn! Even with a whole year to go (minimum, likely) this is exciting news. Looking forward to the journal already.</p><p> </p><p> Happy Christmas to us all!</p>

<p>Well the PGHW Elite Series 2016 is in the books and it was a decent month of competition spread out over 9 nights with 32 competitors in the knockout competition. The final was contested between the newcomer to the company and future figurehead, Magnum Kobe, and previous champion Kozue Kawashima which Kawashima won in a great final. Kawashima defeated current PGHW Elite Crown champion Yoshimi Mushashibo in the semi-finals which is a good indicator of things to come when he cashes in his title shot in May at PGHW Night of Glory.</p><p> </p><p> The tournament was a good indicator of what's to come in the upcoming, new, G1 Climax Tournament that'll debut in August.</p><p> </p><p> The top 10 matches from the PGHW Elite Series Tournament were as follows.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>#10</strong> Magnum Kobe def. Matthew Keith (R32, Night#3) 81/B</p><p> <strong>#9</strong> Magnum Kobe def. Seiji Jimbo (QF, Night#7) 82/B</p><p> <strong>#8</strong> Masaru Ugaki def.

Eisaku Kunomasu (R32, Night#4) 89/A</p><p> <strong>#1</strong> PRIDE Koiso def. Masaru Ugaki (QF, Night#7) 91/A</p><p> </p><p> Honourable mention goes to Yoshimi Mushashibo def. Danger Kumasaka on night 1 of the tournament which got an 81/B rating and just missed out on the top 10. A solid effort from a 62 year old Kumasaka. </p><p> Roll on the next 2 months of tours.</p>

Friends/partners facing off with Kozue denying PRIDE a 4th tournament win. Maybe build tensions with those two coming up towards the PGHW Elite Tag Tournament.</p>

<p>First night of the PGHW Elite Series tour/tournament and in the main event, Yoshimi Mushabisho carried the 62 year old Danger Kumasaka to an 81/B rated match.</p><p> No wonder he's considered the greatest of all-time.</p><p> Still not sure who I'm going to have win the whole thing.

Semi-finals are going to end up as:</p><p> Yoshimi Mushashibo v Kozue Kawashima</p><p> Magnum Kobe v PRIDE Koiso</p><p> </p><p> Kobe has just signed but I've set him as my figurehead although feel it might be too soon to have him win this tournament straight away after debuting, especially meeting the 3time champ in the semi's. Any thoughts?</p>

I've created a G1 Climax that'll run in the summer which will follow the same format as NJPW's version.

Also, I suck at screenshots so, apologies for the whole WordPad document rather than just the draw.</p>

<p>Started a fresh save with the C-Verse and trying out Japan for the first time and PGHW. My new found love for NJPW might help with some booking ideas and manoeuvring around the Japanese scene. I've created a consortium/trading alliance with TCW & NOTBPW so in the inevitable struggles of the Japanese disaster, we can help each other out with our competitors. Plus, I've gone on a signing spree of new talent from other companies that'll ease with the intensity of the matches and hopefully ease up injuries.</p><p> Stables seem to help a lot with booking many multi-man matches and helping aid in storylines make sense so at this point I've created 4 stables that will soon form through upcoming events. </p><p> The C-Verse Rerender Project has given us some incredible pictures to use for the talent and the guys there have basically taken over my C-Verse with their creations. Here are the stables.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Thy Kingdom Come;</strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="uF31iKt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uF31iKt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="HFLNfmQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HFLNfmQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="29TVrTe.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/29TVrTe.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="rQCJmQ8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rQCJmQ8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="4tPqvXK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4tPqvXK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1nuYNsc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1nuYNsc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MDjNSiF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MDjNSiF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Magnum Kobe</p><p> Emerald Angel</p><p> American Elemental</p><p> Gregory Gauge</p><p> Matthew Keith</p><p> Haranobu Kobayashi</p><p> SUKI</p><p> </p><p> Bent the rules here and put myself into a bidding war with BHOTWG for Kobe and Angel and came out on top.

<p>Apparently, there was an issue with the upload? Nothing there to download anyway, LoNdOn.</p><p> Any chance of a reupload?</p>

Got here too early, upload still in progress it says. I'll check in after work again. Awesome work as always LoNdOn. Renders look class.
