DOTT: Stampede Wrestling


Recommended Posts

NOTE: This is completely fictional and has nothing to do with reality. This is a dynasty for the game TEW05, using the DOTT scenario slightly modified by me (to eliminate rookies, they will be imported when they actually debut). A NEW BOOKER FOR STAMPEDE WRESTLING by Johnny James Stu Hart has annunced today, January Week 1 Monday 1983, that a new booker has been signed to take over Stampede Wrestling (CSW). Grimmas, a young man from Toronto, Canada will take over the duties immediatley. Little is known about his abilities at the moment, but what is known is that he grew up a fan and over the last few years has travelled all over the world working for various promotions. An interview with Grimmas will be conducted shortly, so hopefully we will learn more about this situation.

Interview w/Grimmas AN INTERVIEW WITH GRIMMAS by Johnny James This interview was conducted on January Week 1 Monday 1983. JJ: First of all I would like to congratulate you on your new job. G: Thank you very much, I am very excited. JJ: How did this all come about? G: I actually approached Stu about it after I heard that he was not happy with his son (Bruce)'s go at it. I have just finished a few years of travelling all over the world and working for so many different promotions and I missed home, Canada. I learned so much and saw so many different things that most people who only see the North American scene would probably not believe. JJ: Such as? G: Oh, in Mexico you have promotions drawing incredible houses every week with almost entirely trios (six man tag) matches with really short guys wearing masks, but they do some crazy flying that you wouldn't believe. Then you have Japan, where you have super realistic guys fighting and almost really pounding the crap out of each other. Intense. England was interesting too, there is so much mat working and chain wrestling plus the matches are competed in round format. Not only that, but I saw a great amount of young awesome workers. Seeing all of that made me want to come back to North America and bring some of those differenses here. JJ: So you called up Stu Hart. G: Correct, we talked for hours about wrestling. Stampede is so great, its got a big blend of cultures already. Plus the best wrestler in the world, in my books, Dynamite Kid. JJ: After the talk, he gave you the job? G: No, this was a few months ago. I actually drove up to Calgary and spent a few days at his house and saw the Dungeon. I was backstage at some shows and we talked some more. I really layed out what I was planning and Stu was intriged and gave me the job. JJ: So you knew for a month atleast and you have spent this time planning? G: Yes, I went around and talked to some more American workers that I had my eye on and did some more scouting. Just today, I sent out some contract offers to a bunch of workers throughout the world. It's been a busy day. JJ: Who have you offered contracts too? G: I'm not at liberty to say right now, but I do plan on bringing in a lot of great athletes into Stampede. Stampede is a wrestling company with the greatest wrestlers in the world and I dont' want that to change. There will be some roster moves to make it more exciting. JJ:I know you are a busy man, so I will not take up too much of your time, but I would love to know what you have planned in the short term for the company? G: Thanks. Well, I am bringing in the new talent and some old talent will be phased out. I am going to try a new thing and name our big shows each month something different. I also am trying to flesh out some of the long term booking plans I have. Plus, I am getting ready for my first TV taping tommorow night. JJ: Well good luck to you and we look forward to seeing Stampede in the next few months. G: Thank you and I hope you all enjoy.

New Signings [B]Stampede Brings In New Talent[/B] by Johnny James With a new booker in place for Stampede Wrestling, that brings in some new talent. On January 1983, Week 1 Thursday there was a whooping six new signings. The biggest signing may be Tiger Mask, from NJPW. A man who is reinventing high flying wrestling. Two more Japanese wrestlers were signed. One being The Cobra, one of Tiger Mask's favourite opponents. The other is a relative new comer Keichi Yamada who is just debuting in the business. Another huge is signing is that of Karl Gotch. Stampede was in a dire need of some locker room leaders and Gotch is just that. He is also one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time and a former World Champion. He is expected to work backstage with the new talent. The other two signings were second generation wrestlers. Randy Savage who is the talk of Memphis for his high flying and crazy antics was one signing. The other was Dean Malenko the son of Boris Malenko who is a mat wrestler. These six men are expected to make a huge impact in Stampede. Only one match is announced for "Pure Dynamite" to take place on January 1983 Week 4 Friday. That is a North American Title Match, as Bad News Allen is set to defend against Dynamite Kid.

I'll be reading, I've always loved Calgary/Stampede and I hope you bring it much success. Two things, Joe Malenko is (at least in real life) a very talented worker. Just because Dean got alot of notoriety, don't be afraid to give Joe any chances, as he is more then worthy of them. Two. Lets go Leo! (Burke)

TV Ratings & Firings by Johnny James Last night's Stampede Wrestling TV show had 106 viewers at home which is an increase of 6 fans from last week. First half hour had 100 fans and the second had 113. An increase is a good sign. Stampede Wrestling and Hiro Saito have parted ways. With all the new signings, some people had to be cut and Saito is the first.
