Personally I just give myself goals to work off... For instance my current WWF 1980(now in 81) goal is to have Dusty Rhodes and "friends" as the main draws as opposed to Backlund and later Hogan thus creating an alturnate reality where WWF looks like JCP/Florida of the 80's but based out of the east coast.. For instance Starrcade is approaching but instead of being a JCP show, it's a WWF show on closed circuit from the Garden headlined by Dusty battling Harley Race for "title vs title"...

WWF Jan 80 to August 81 WWF Heavyweight Champion: Dusty Rhodes since April of 1980 WWF Intercontinental Champion: Don Muraco since May 1981. WWF Tag Team Champions: Andre The Giant & Blackjack Mulligan Other belts: British Openweight: Johnny Saint (we bought one of the British promotions, kept their TV so I run a weekly half an hour World of Soort Show) World Martial Arts Champion: Antonio Inoki (bring him in for defenses occasionally on MSG undercards)

<p>WWF 1980</p><p> Started January now in November</p><p> </p><p> WWF Champion: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes since April defeating Ken Patera for the gold. Patera had defeated Backlund via Skaaland tossing in the towel inarch.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions:</p><p> Ken Patera & Ivan Koloff defeated Dick Murdoch & Barry Windham in September in tournament final when Murdoch turned heel on Barry.</p><p> </p><p> Dusty brought Murdoch in to team with Barry, Larry Zbyszko actually paid him off to turn. Patera was subbing for Nicolai Volkoff who was injured. The Russians, Patera, Larry & Murdoch are all aligned at this point, and Blackjack Mulligan just turned face to save his son Barry from a recent attack. Dusty missed a month due to an elbow injury (legit), storyline however is he was injured while making the save during the Murdoch turn, tried to compete in the Garden the "next day" against Larry but couldn't continue the match.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: "All American" Paul Orndorff defeated Greg Valentine in a steel cage match and MSG in October.</p>

<p>WWF 1980- "The Dusty Rhodes Era"</p><p> </p><p> We're in August now in month number 4 of Dusty on top.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Top Programs</p><p> Dusty & Barry Windham Vs. The Russians (Ivan Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff)</p><p> </p><p> Ivan was positioned as Dusty's first main challenge, Windham as his Protege. During his program with Dust, The Russians won the tag titles from Kevin Sullivan & Paul Orndorff, leading to Dusty and Windham defeating them at Shea in August for the gold. Unfortunately you're not allowed to hold two titles at the same time and thus the titles are now vacant. Tournament is on going, with Dusty hooking Barry up with his old friend Dick Murdoch as his partner. Dusty Vs. Larry Zbyszko is also a thing that's slowly started up, Larry is fresh off losing to Bruno in the cage in Shea much like real life, but from running his mouth has worked his way into a program with Big Dust.</p><p> </p><p> Andre Vs. Blackjack Mulligan</p><p> </p><p> Andre ran Hogan out of town at Shea with a clean win after months of keeping them apart, Mulligan returned around Shea time and won a battle royal. The following week he got into a pull apart with Andre on TV after calling him out earlier in the show. Mulligan has a rare count put win of Andre as well.</p><p> </p><p> Intercontinental Title Feud</p><p> Greg "The Hammer" Valentine Vs. Paul Orndorff</p><p> </p><p> Generic Babyface Paul here. Feud started after weeks of the champion picking names out of the hat and beating them on TV. Paul was convinced it was rigged so in the end HE rigged it himself to get a TV win over the Hammer. Valentine still refused to give him a shot, so the following week when enhancement talent Stan Lane was hand picked from the fishbowl, Orndorff helped Lane pick up an upset win! Lane & Hammer had a title match the next week, and Valentine broke Lane's leg in the process. This left Hammer with no opposition for She's Stadium in August, so Paul filled in. Since he was a fill in the title was not on the line, and Hammer lost yet again. They had a match at the Garden in the main event, billed as Orndorff's last shot a few weeks later, and went to the curfew. Now Orndorff has vowed to leave town if he can't beat Hammer at the Garden at the end of the month, and Hammer has agreed </p><p> </p><p> Battle Of the Strong Men</p><p> Ken Patera Vs. Tony Atlas</p><p> </p><p> Set up for weeks with Atlas & Patera each doing strength challenges leading to an arm wrestling match in June that saw Patera attack Atlas and damage his eye by smashing him face first into a table. Atlas speaks weeks on the shelf, before showing up in an eye patch. At Shea he attacked Patera after Patera beat Pedro Morales and removed his eye patch revealing he was now 100 percent. They've had a few matches on the house show circuit with typical dq and count out finishes.</p><p> </p><p> The Boogie Woogie Man Cometh</p><p> Jimmy Valiant Vs. Capt. Lou Albano</p><p> </p><p> Valiant returned two months ago as a heel managed by Albano. Didn't last long as after a tag match teaming with Grand Wizard's Masked Superstar against Steve Keirn & Tony Garea in the tag tournament, they lost via a miscommunication. Days later he lost to Dusty at the Garden, and argued with Lou leading to him quitting... The Samoans attacked after the match and Dusty made the save! And thus the Boogie Woogie Man was born!</p><p> </p><p> Other things to watch out for...</p><p> </p><p> Bob Orton Jr. is on a win streak... We purchased Gulas' Territory and as a make nice gave George Gulas & Wayne Ferris deals as enhancement.</p><p> </p><p> Buddy Rogers is hosting Rogers corner weekly.</p><p> </p><p> Wahoo is on the roster now but I've yet to debut him.</p>

<p>WWF 1980</p><p> Started January now in September</p><p> </p><p> WWF Champion: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes since April defeating Ken Patera for the gold. Patera had defeated Backlund via Skaaland tossing in the towel inarch.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions:</p><p> VACANT</p><p> </p><p> Dusty Rhodes & his young Protege Barry Windham defeated The Russians (Ivan Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff) for the titles at Shea Stadium last month. But Dusty had to vacate since WWF law decree's he can't have both titles.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine since defeating inaugural Champion Pat Patterson in May.</p>

Kinda a weird one Stan Lane & Steve Keirn are going to start teaming in my WWF 1981 save, but instead of being put together by Jackie Fargo, I'm toying with the idea of Buddy Rogers mentoring them... Any ideas for a name?

WWF 1980 January- April Champions: WWF Champion: Ken Patera defeated Bob Backlund in March at the Garden when Arnold Skaaland tossed in the towel. Backlund had been attacked by Masked Superstar earlier in the week on TV and has his neck damaged. WWF Intercontinental Champion: Pat Patterson, since start of game. WWF Tag Team Champion: The Wild Samoans since February, defeated Tito Santana & Ivan Putski at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Top Programs: Larry Zybsco Vs. Bruno Sammartino Followed the real life formula to a T, because if out ain't broken don't fix it, no? Ken Patera & Masked Superstar Vs. Dusty Rhodes & Bob Backlund. Dusty saved Backlund a few times before his title loss, Backlund hasn't been seen since. Dusty hasn't had a title shot yet, but much like Hogan in 84, he's about to face Patera as a sub for Backlund at the Garden. Wild Samoans Vs. All American Orndorffs Paul showed up in Feb. as a generic baby face feuding with The Great Hossien Aarab. Hossien quit the promotion after a house show loss and was replaced with a returning Nicolai Volkoff. Within weeks Terry Orndorff was introduced, and after winning a series of house show tags against Volkoff & Tor Kamata, the Orndorffs are ready for a series of tag title shots. Pat Patterson Vs. Greg Valentine Valentine has just returned to the promotion, and made his intentions clear after slapping Patterson (who host Championship Wrestling with Vinny Mac) across the face leading to a pull apart brawl. Andre Vs. Hulk Hogan Heel Hogan Vs. Babyface Andre has JUST started up with promos, no match as of yet but it's coming. Andre is fresh off running Bobby Duncum out of town. The entire purpose of this save is Dusty taking over in the Hogan spot, so we've had some Florida/Georgia guys show up since Dusty returned to the company... Like Kevin Sullivan as a generic Babyface and more recently have signed Ivan Koloff (yet to re-debut) for a run... Expect guys like Murdoch and Mulligan to eventual show up.

<p>WWF 1980 Feb.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Heavyweight Champion: Bob Backlund</p><p> Since game start, currently feuding with Bobby Duncum. Masked Superstar has just shown up and is looking for a match.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Pat Patterson </p><p> The first ever champion is feuding with the likes of Ken Patera & The Samoans based on his real life Babyface turn.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions: Tito Santana & Ivan Putski</p><p> Since start, feuding with the Samoans. Very traditional at this point as these teams are the only two teams in the promotion..</p><p> </p><p> Larry Zybsco just turned on Bruno on my last tv, followed the exact same formula as his real life turn.</p><p> </p><p> Paul Orndorff is around as a generic baby face feuding with the future Iron Sheik.</p><p> </p><p> Hogan is racking up jobber wins, waiting a few months before running the infamous Andre feud.</p><p> </p><p> Andre I haven't used at all yet, trying to make him feel special, but I'm about to move him into a feud with Duncum.</p><p> </p><p> Dusty Rhodes has signed on, yet to debut... Got big plans... In fact the whole gimmick with this diary is going to be Dusty in the Hogan role years earlier, and should Vince Sr. Die or retire I'll probably apply for the job with Vince and give Dusty the book.</p>

Kingston's entire year was built around finally beating Fit, who had beaten him three times since his debut.

April 07 Now with IWA Drake Younger got injured defending his death match title in the midst of his feud with CJ Otis... He retired the day he was to come back...so I used Dustin Lee in his place for the feud, had Drake ultimately help Lee win I the barbed wire blow off... Sad times. Chuck Taylor won a lethal lottery battle royal in August, got a title shot at Toby Klein, won the belt and is still champion cheating his way to big wins over guys like Raven (brought him on for one show at the ECW Arena), Arik Cannon, Jimmy Jacobs (who I kinda stopped using for awhile but he'll be back), Ricochet, Super Dragon, Tyler Black, and most recently Brandon Tomasali who WAS the Lightheavyweight Champion, but last month lost that to Chucky... Yep Chucky is holding all the gold. Tyler Black returned from a long tour of Dragon Gate, resumed his feud with Josh Ambercrombie, and ultimately ran him out of town. He's about to tour with NJPW so he's not gonna get used all that much as I feel like it's unrealistic to use guys while they are on your in Japan, plus it allows for fresh feuds and cards. Nick Gage is the Death Match Champion, feuding with Necro Butcher. Necro has spent months as "Dastardly" Dylan Summers with Sweeney as his manager but Gage taunted and taunted until just recently Necro returned to his true form. Speaking of Sweeney, Sweet n Sour Inc turned on Claudio back in May of 06, Hero then got injured, Claudio took of tour of NJPW... Hero's new partner is Matt Sydal, but Claudio's tour ended so you would THINK that's about to be a thing .. welp he's injured so he's still put a month and guess what? Hero is on the next NJPW tour that picks up when Claudio returns! So we'll see where that goes, might just break my "rule" and run a quick match between the two as it's killing me that I've had this loose end open for months now. Mickie Knuckles & LuFisto had a huge feud that ended with Mickie winning a barbed wire match and regaining the Women's title. Briscoes are tag champions and dominating, they defeated the Tomasali's (baby faces oddly) & The Back Seatz in a three way for the belt simply because Trent took a tour of Dragon Gate just after regaining the tag belts... Speaking of the Tomasali's... In late 06 Josh Ambercrombie introduced Talia Madison as his valet, the in story ex-girlfriend of Brandon Tomasali. This was during his program with Brandon for the lightweight title.. welp after Josh was run out of town, Talia just started showing up in Brandon's corner and it's not sitting right with the rest of the Iron Saints. Eddie Kingston REALLY WANTS TO BEAT Fit Finlay. Using fit as a special attraction, he beat Eddie twice so far and The King of Diamonds has made it his goal in life to get a win over the Irishmen. Kingston has a blood feud with Jacobs before this, that saw him win a no dq falls count anywhere match. Jacobs has only been seen ONE TIME since then, showing up and attacking Eddie months ago after a win... Eddie's also got a mini program with Trik Davis out there, as Trik is starting to act like a arrogrant little brat. Jon Moxley is a ****ing rebel... Mox debuted as part of our weekly challenge series, where new talent gets a shot at a full time gig should they win 5 matches in a row over 5 weeks... He won four, ultimately losing to Danny Havoc. Havoc made it to match 5, going to a draw with Devon Moore. They had a rematch, Moxley showed up and took out both men. Ian signed Havoc anyway, Moore went 5 matches, and MOXLEY ATTACKED IAN! Eventually Ian beat Mox in a match and offered him a handshake, got low blowed in return. Devon ended up befriending Havoc in his feud with Mox, and MOXLEY has back up in the form of heat magnet Brent Albright! Albright had the crowd shit on him for being an OVW regular in his first few appearances and thus opted to help Mox. It's a small mid card thing but has potential to grow into something bigger as time goes on. Michael Elgin is a machine... Beating folks left and right via stoppages. He's kinda the muscle of Sweet 'n' Sour Inc, well one of as Beth Phoenix is there too. Arik Cannon is feuding with BJ Whitmer, not much to it. 2006 TPI Winner: Claudio Castagnoli 2006 KOTDM: Drake Younger 2006 Double Death Tag: Deranged & Brain Damage 2006 Simply The Best: Ruckus 2006 Revolution Strong Style: Eddie Kingston

IWA Mid South November 2006 Main Programs Chuck Taylor Vs. Everybody Chuck won the IWA Mid South Heavyweight title from Toby Klein in September at The Ted Petty Invitational. He's doing the chickenshit routine... Tracy Smothers returned as his back up. Next defense is at the ECW Arena Vs. Raven at November Pain (get it?). The BLKOut Vs. Ricochet, Jimmy Jacobs & Arik Cannon Eddie Kingston lost a TV match to Arik Cannon, and it lead to the BLKOut turning heel and destroying Cannon. Ruckus and Ricochet have had a few matches this year, thus Ricochet saved, Jimmy saved too and was added to the program. Back Seat Boyz Vs. Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles & The Iron Saints. Back Seats randomly defeated Trik Davis & Billy Roc in October on TV for the tag belts. They've been feuding with Mickie for a bit now... Thus Ian getting involved... There was a barbed wire match, the Saints returned post match to help Ian? Saints had lost a loser leaves town for 6 months deal to BLKOut in April. Ian booked the Boyz to defender their titles in the Double Death Turnament and they lost the belts to Brain Damage & Deranged so it's no longer about that. "Dastardly" Dylan Summers Vs. Toby Klein Summers is of course the Necro Butcher... He's a "WRESTLER" know as he abandoned his death match ways and is now a member of Sweet 'n' Sour Inc. He's got his own referee in Derek Sobato. It's a whole thing. Toby is his former buddy and legit just wants to beat the hardcore back into him, but it's not working at all Drake Younger Vs. CJ Otis Drake is injured... They were feuding, Otis had his number, Drake's due back soon and they're gonna get eight back into things. Josh Abercrombie debuted Velvet Sky (as Talia Madison( as his valet, in storyline it's Brandon Tomasali's ex so now the two former partners are feuding. Claudio won the 2006 TPI, lost a title match to Chuck when Sweeney's interference backfired and then promptly quit Sweet 'n Sour Inc. He's touring NJPW so this story is kinda on hold for a bit. Meanwhile, just after the TPI Hero got injured working CZW as it out for another two months. Daize Haze won the women's belt... Brain Damage is the Death Match Champion AND 1/2 of the tag team champions... Sweeney's promised a new "top guy" in SnS Inc... And Kevin Steen's around randomly doing things.. It's a whole lotta rift raft going on, but isn't that what IWA is all about?

IWA Mid South August 2006 Heavyweight Champion: Toby Klein defeated Chris Hero at Summer Scorcher Tag Team Champions: Threat Level Midnight (Billy Roc & Trick Davis) defeated the Kings of Wrestling (Claudio & Hero) & BLKOut (Eddie Kingston & Joker) at Summer Scorcher, Hero & Claudio were champions. Light Heavyweight Champion: Tyler Black since defeating Josh Prohibition in TLC match in April. Women's Champion: Alicia, teamed with the Backseat Boyz to defeat El Generico, Human Tornado & Mickie Knuckles in a 6 man tag where the belt was on the line at Summer Scorcher. Death Match Champion: Drake Younger, won the 2006 King of the Death Match in a four-way ultimate death match final featuring Drake, Jimmy Jacobs, Brain Damage & Mad Man Pondo. Top Programs Chris Hero Vs. Eddie Kingston Birthed out of the "Ian stacks the deck against Hero" storyline. These two hate each other. Things got interesting when Hero added to his belt collection by defeating Delirous & Matt Sydal for the tag belts. Kingston actually cost Hero the Heavyweight belt by having BLKOut keep Hero's Few Good Men (Larry Sweeney, Claudio, Michael Elgin & Ash) from interfering on his behalf Vs. Toby Klein and ultimately laying Hero out behind the officials back with the Backfist To the Future leading to the pin. Chris Hero Vs. Trik Davis This is a thing that happening, Hero can't stand the kid stemming from a 2005 upset loss during the big Hero "curse" storyline. Davis & his buddy Billy Roc just took the tag titles off the Kings, and Chris has promised that no matter what he will continue to make sure that Trik fails at everything. CJ Otis Vs. Drake Younger They were partners, they were buddies... They got eaten alive in program against Deranged & Brain Damage, and CJ ended up turning. Otis has beaten Drake's Naptown Dragon buddies a bunch so far, and has a singles win over Drake. Their next match is a MMA rules match. Josh Prohibition Vs. Tyler Black Since I started this feud has continued... Prohibition has vowed to not only get his title back, but also to run Tyler out of town. We had a whole show based around this program at one point, appropriately titled "When Tyler met Josh". The redemption of Jimmy Jacobs Fired after losing the IWA Mid South Heavyweight title, Jimmy returned interfering in matches, hell at one point in a mask he won a title shot, only for Ian to take it away from him. After saving Ian from BJ Whitmer and Jim Fannig's Crew, Ian finally hired him back...ONLY IF he partipated in the King of the Death Match. He agreed, beat Bull Pain in a home run derby in round one, AND earned Ian's respect beating the boss himself in Tapae Death Match in round 2! Jimmy made it to the finals for crying outloud! His next step was defeating BJ in a cage match, now he moves on and hopes to beat the hell out of his former running buddy Josh Prohibition. Other minor programs: Something is up with Necro... He's on a losing streak... It's going somewhere... Ricochet & Ruckus are kinda sorta feuding... And the Backseats are gunning for the tag belts.

Shifting sands... Had to import Chucky T though..

<p>IWA Mid South 2006 Top Programs April 2006</p><p> </p><p> Ian Rotten Vs. Jimmy Jacobs</p><p> </p><p> All over the infamous Jacobs shoot promo in November of 2005. After losing the title to Hero in a 3 way in January, Jabocs was recast as a face who didn't have the trust of the locker room, before ultimately being fired by Ian in March. He's since been showing up randomly and causing chaos. The angle is about to get interesting as it's actually all about Jabocs redemption.</p><p> </p><p> Ian Vs. Chris Hero</p><p> </p><p> Hero is a douche. He believes himself the measuring stick and has started shit with Ian. He's already got a win over him, so now it's all about Ian stacking the deck against the Champion. Chris has had matches with Necro Butcher and Trik Davis, hell the Necro match was a barbed wire match, but thanks to Jimmy Jacobs causing a distraction he came out ahead. Chris has also continued to **** with Davis, and injured Arik Cannon at some point, all with Claudio helping along the way.</p><p> </p><p> The BLKOut Vs. Iron Saints</p><p> </p><p> Kingston's alliance with the Saints has blown up after costing them the tag titles to Delrious & Matt Sydal. After coming up short against them several times, he's gone and brought his buddies Ruckus and Sabian to watch his back. The first match saw the BLKOut come out on top, the second descended it chaos. I hate the Saints so this is building to their last match together shortly.</p><p> </p><p> Tyler Black Vs. Josh Ambercrombie</p><p> </p><p> Former friends feuding over the Lightheavyweight title. Black finally got the big win in a ladder match, then seemed to move onto a program with the debuting Trent Acid only for Josh to win a number one contender 6 way TLC at Hurt.

It's going on in the background really but as the year goes on it'll be more important.</p><p> </p><p> I've got local TV now, just an hour in a shitty time slot, inspired by current Beyond it's pretty much a weekly Indy show.

So in my 11 year plus Dragon Gate 01 game I randomly decided to sign up a bunch of gaijin and now use them once a month to run PWG shows. So much fun doing so... Untelevised in front of 300 in Reseda all while selling out Dome's in DG on the reg. I mix in guys from my delvelopmental from time to time (EVOLVE,1PW,&, The Crash) so it really feels like an Indy dream fed.

I guess stuff like a Sato twin headlining NOAH while the other jerks the curtain in NJPW is less likely to happen now?
