FINisher Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Really, really looking forward to this! GCG is one of my favourites Cool graphic btw! Altough Takayuki Avatar sucks. Why can't people create their own user characters!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjacko Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hanshiro Furusawa has set various goals ranging from not falling in size from Regional, doubling the finances to $2m, not hiring Super Juniors and not hiring or extending the contract of anyone with less than D- in basics and industry reputation. I'm running a one hour show every week, along with the main tour show being two hours at the end of the month. GCG also has a tour highlights TV show every week that i've extended to an hour that runs on Japanese Sports Vision 3. I've not done a diary with a touring promotion so I'll be learning along the way a bit. I'll be posting the monthly results for the four shows leading upto the main end of month show, when i'll post a preview of the line-up so people can predict if they want. I've already been hit by two departures to BHOTWG which will become evident in the tour results. I hope everyone enjoys the layout that has more than a passing nod to Marcel Fromage's designs in his superb and legendary ROF diary . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Fromage Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's good to see a GCG diary as they're a promotion that doesn't get much love diary-wise. And I thought I should post seeing as I was mentioned earlier! Keep it going (the diary, not mentions of me!). I'll be reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Team Strike or The USA Express find a route to winning or will Ikina and Tayama continue their reign as GCG World Tag Team champions? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/HarumiOkazawaya.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/vs-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/EagleKawasawa.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/GCG_Openweight.jpg GCG Openweight Harumi Okazawaya © vs. Eagle Kawasaka Often thought of as a safe pair of hands in the ring, GCG Openweight champion Harumi Okazawaya defends his title against the promising young high flier, Eagle Kawasaka. Can the Optimus trained Eagle Kawasaka win his first ever title or will Okazawaya use his years of experience over Kawasawa to find a way to retaining? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/JungleJack_alt1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/vs-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/KiminobuKuroki.jpg Jack Marlowe vs. Kiminobu Kuroki With the future of Kiminobu Kuroki being in doubt with rumours of an offer from WLW, the distraction could work to Jack Marlowe's advantage but underestimating Kuroki could be also be dangerous. Can Marlowe take the win or will Kuroki grab what is maybe his last victory in GCG? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/JimmyCox.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/vs-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/TakayukiAvatar.jpg Jimmy Cox vs. TAKA In a match that promises to be a lesson in technical wrestling, Jimmy Cox takes on TAKA in singles action. Cox has become a big deal in Japan, thanks to his famous Immortal Driver finishing move and TAKA is still settling into life in GCG. Can TAKA pick up his first victory in GCG or will he be the latest victim to fall to the Immortal Driver? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/PistolPeteHall.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/vs-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/HiroyasuGakusha_alt2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/vs-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/ToshiharuHyobanshi.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/bj_stfc/GCG_World.jpg GCG World Heavyweight Triple Threat Pistol Pete Hall © vs. Hiroyasu Gakusha vs. Toshiharu Hyobanshi Going unbeaten so far in January, GCG World Heavyweight champion Pistol Pete Hall faces his biggest challenge so far going up against two opponents in Hiroyasu Gakusha and Toshiharu Hyobanshi. Gakusha is surely destined to be one of GCG's top performers for years to come and Hyobanshi is not afraid to win matches by any means necessary. Can Gakusha or Hyobanshi walk out with the title or will Hall prove just why he is the champion by emerging victorious? -------------------- GCG New Year Wrestling Black Eagle vs. Julian Watson vs. Namboku Makuda vs. Shooter Sean Deeley GCG World Tag Team Triple Threat Shotaro Ikina and Yasuhide Tayama © vs. Team Strike vs. The USA Express GCG Openweight Harumi Okazawaya © vs. Eagle Kawasaka Jack Marlowe vs. Kiminobu Kuroki Jimmy Cox vs. TAKA GCG World Heavyweight Triple Threat Pistol Pete Hall © vs. Hiroyasu Gakusha vs Toshiharu Hyobanshi OOC: I would have had this up sooner as had it all typed out then firefox messed up and I lost it so had to redo it all again.

FINisher Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 [stupid nonsense]Just few things, totally my own opinions and personal likings, don't mean to sadden you or anything.. Just few things that I'd like to share, sorry. 1. I must admit that I'm not a fan of the graphics results. I just can't get into them as I feel that they are just like results pasted from the game and that's it. 2. Just one show in a week? What on earth .. 3. Just one show in a week with just 4 matches? Whatta.. My GCG booking differs so much from this that I just can't get into it. I always do 2-3 shows a week with 6 to 8 matches in a card, as it's a touring schedule in a Japanese puroresu promotion.[/stupid nonsense] Black Eagle vs. Julian Watson vs. Namboku Makuda vs. Shooter Sean Deeley Shotaro Ikina and Yasuhide Tayama © vs. Team Strike vs. The USA Express Harumi Okazawaya © vs. Eagle Kawasaka Jack Marlowe vs. Kiminobu Kuroki Jimmy Cox vs. TAKA Boo!

benjacko Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm not familiar with running Japanese promotions so it's all a learning experience along the way for me. The big event end of month show will be alot more detail, it's just I want to avoid burnout doing detailed write-ups for each show. I also only do 4 matches as it's a 1 hour weekly event which I feel suits a regional GCG and helps avoid the three match penalty coming into effect hopefully. I have considered expanding to two 1 hour shows a week plus a final big event 2 hour show making it 7 shows a month. Thanks for the comments though FIN, always good to get opinions .

I usually book with Mon - Wed - Fri as weekly shows: Mon & Wed are 1½h, Fri 2. With the alternation of that when I hold a PPV I only do one weekly show during that week so that everyone is 100% going into the PPV. So that's 11 shows per month if I'm correct.
