    Speaking of bookers/owners, I actually have need of people's knowledge to pick one myself !

    I've decided to (re-) open a NWA company that hadn't been open for more than 34 years, namely NWA Los Angeles (or NWA Hollywood) in 1992. However, I'm stuck on who would be a legitimate choice as the owner of the company. Basically, the idea is that I'll be similar to one of those many companies that opened under the NWA umbrella in the late 90's and early 00's (NWA Florida, NWA 2000, NWA Anarchy, etc), and will try to first become a giant, then "eat" every other NWA companies until I'm the only one left.

    However, I don't know who to pick as a legitimate owner: ideally, I'd want someone who would have had ties with NWA back in the days, who didn't open another company in the database (hence why Rick Bassman, Johnny Legend, Roland Alexander or David McLane aren't really options) and preferably in the Los Angeles area at the time, or at the very least in California.
    Based on the database and the very limited research I've done so far, I probably could go for either José Lothario, Jack Armstrong, Ray Stevens, Ivan Putski or (just for the pun) Jeanne Basone who used to be known as Hollywood in GLOW, but none of those names seem to really fit, so any suggestions would be more than welcome !

    Just from a list of people with links to the original NWA Hollywood:

    Freddie Blassie & Jules Strongbow (former bookers), Chavo Guerrero Sr. (most times NWA America's champ), Chris Adams (former champ)

    AEW Owner Only (Auto Booker) Save (Jan 2024-April 2024):

    AEW World: Jon Moxley

    AEW International: Bryan Danielson

    AEW TNT: Swerve Strickland

    AEW Women's: Mercedes Moné

    AEW TBS: Toni Storm

    AEW Tag Team: The Young Bucks

    AEW Trios: Darby Allin, Chris Jericho & Adam Copeland

    FTW: Hook

  3. Decided as something different to play an ownership only AEW save, meaning I autobook the shows and just handle talent. To ramp up the randomness more I vacated all the belts WCW style.

    So far Mercedes Mone won the women's World title on her debut, The Acclaimed picked up the Tag titles for a second time, Pat McAfee won the TNT title (I forgot to untick his wrestling role after signing him to be a commentator) so joined him up with Bullet Club Gold, Adam Copeland and Chris Jericho have joined forces as Le Entertainers and after a random tag match and finding out they had great chemistry the team of Foxhausen was born (Danhausen and AR Fox).

    I'm looking for a new name for a reunited and now heel Cryme Tyme. This is in mid-2011, after Shad's heel turn and subsequent release with Shad now back in WWE on Raw playing the same serious, bad ass type character he had before the release while JTG is still the loudmouth heel he became after turning heel on NXT.

    I'm also considering a group with R-Truth (2011 conspiracy version!), and really like the name House of Truth for the stable, but that's obviously been used in ROH, so I'm thinking simply "Nothing But The Truth".

    For the team:

    Kill at Will

    For the Stable:

    The Truth, Truth & Consequences, Nation of Truth, Eye of Truth, The Undisputed Truth

    Thinking of starting a 1992 WWF save. Give me some rules for realistic signings. For example, I think it would be unrealistic to go into Canada and sign guys like Jericho and Edge in 1992. I doubt the WWF or WCW had any idea those guys existed in 1992. So how should I go about realistically signing workers. What rules? I was thinking of a few like this...

    1) Anybody who has wrestles for an American company with a TV deal. Any wrestler in those companies could be seen on TV, and their existence would be widely known, and it would be easy to get a good scouting report on them.

    2) Anyone with a personal relationship with someone in the WWF. For example, blood relatives, friends, etc.

    3) Anyone that my creative team recommends.

    4) Maybe allow myself to look at the results of an Indy event once every six months or so and pick a wrestler from that event to sign. This  would simulate scouting...maybe one of my road agents was at the event to see if there was any decent talent.

    5) Anybody who works for a medium sized or bigger foreign company.

    Any other ideas?

    One or two big name stars in other countries e.g. WWF hired Konnan around this time who was basically Hulk Hogan levels of popularity in Mexico, would be realistic as a way of Vince trying to bring fans in from that country.

    Rules for an AEW save starting the show after WrestleDream? Long term and short term.

    WCW 2.0 - any wrestler signed from WWE must be treated like a major star regardless of overness and win the world title in their division (men’s/women’s). This includes the recent WWE releases.

     

    Workhorse Titles - the TBS and TNT titles must be treated as workhorse championships and as such only wrestlers who post good match results consistently can win these titles.


    Going Extreme - if you decide to keep the FTW title then you must use it as your hardcore title as a way to differentiate it from your many other titles.

     

    The Four Pillars - Of the four pillars (MJF, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, Jack Perry) all must have had world title runs within three years of your start date.

     

    One Last Time - You may only run FTR vs The Young Bucks one last time.

     

    The Forbidden Door - have a superstar from NJPW win your World title at some point.


    Blacklisted - you may never rehire CM Punk.

     

    In Timeout - anyone caught fighting backstage must be suspended for a lengthy period if they do it again they are fired, no exceptions.
