KingofOldSchool Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So I never did a diary before, but I've been intrigued with doing one for a while. My style of playing is a bit different. I don't think with storylines and what not, I generally book on the fly. I also take control of the top 2 promotions as I generally hate how the computer books the promotions. With that being said, allow me to intro my game. -------------------- World Wrestling Federation v. Jim Crockett Promotions: A Chaotic War Jim Crockett Jr. knew something had to be done to stop the growing juggernaut of Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation. The WWF has been sweeping the territories dry of all of the top talent. So Crockett and other smaller territory owners got together and filed an anti-trust lawsuit against Titan Sports, Inc. Their argument was that the company is trying to corner the professional wrestling market in North America, thus preventing another company from legitimately competing with the WWF. Nobody gave Crockett and Co. a chance in the court of law, however a convincing argument involving territory promoters and former wrestlers helped created a landmark verdict that indeed Titan Sports is preventing a fair competitive market. In the agreement, they have created a fair deal that allows rosters to be shaken up. The foundation for the agreement is as follows... 1. Both the WWF and JCP can establish five men on their rosters that will be exempt from selection from the other promotion. 2. Employees will be bound by written contracts, unless otherwise denied by the individual talent. 3. The other talent, including some from other territorial promotions will be in a pool. Both the World Wrestling Federation and Jim Crockett Promotions will take turns drawing from the pool. The drawing will be random, so they have no control over who is selected for their promotion. 4. If either promotion wants to buy out another promotion/territory, it must be approved by the courts first. With this landmark lawsuit and ruling, Jim Crockett Promotions jumped to International recognition. ------------------------ That being said, the World Wrestling Federation selected the 5 men they are protecting from being selected. World Wrestling Federation Champion: Hulk Hogan World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion: "Macho Man" Randy Savage One of half of the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions: Bret "Hitman" Hart Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat "Rowdy" Roddy Piper So what does this mean to the newly heel Andre The Giant? What about Bret Hart's tag partner Jim Neidhart? How will this shakeup the upcoming Wrestlemania III card? Jim Crockett Promotions have also selected their 5 exempt from selection guys and they included.... NWA World Heavyweight Champion: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair NWA United States Champion: "The Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff One half of the NWA United States Tag Team Champions: Barry Windham Arn Anderson "The Total Package" Lex Luger What would happen with the Horsemen if Tully Blanchard gets selected by the WWF? What about NWA mainstay Dusty Rhodes? What would happen if The Road Warriors get split up? Those answers and more coming up with the WWF/JCP Roster Selection Show.

KingofOldSchool Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 The Selection Show has been completed. Each promotion got 94 selections. While that seems a lot, there are a mix of commentators as well as guys near retirement and guys just getting into the business. I plan finding a developmental territory for both feds to cut down the roster. --------------------- World Wrestling Federation: 1. Ivan Putski 2. Bruno Sammartino 3. Michael Hayes 4. Chris Adams 5.

KingofOldSchool Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 What this means for the WWF: 1. Andre The Giant is no longer there, thus there scheduled Wrestlemania III main event must be changed. Who will step in to face The Hulkster? Randy Savage? Jake Roberts? Paul Orndorff? 2. The Hart Foundation has been split up. What will happen with the titles now? 3. There is now an influx of managers. From the previous guys of Heenan, Hart, Fuji, Johnny V, and Slick. Now comes Skandar Akbar, JJ Dillion, Sheik Kassey, Gary Hart, among others. 4. They lost three very valuable voices of the company in Gorilla Monsoon, Jesse Ventura, and Mean Gene Okerlund. 5. New tag teams are there including the Midnight Express, The Rock n' Roll Express, The Midnight Rockers, and The Fabulous Freebirds. What impact will they make? 6. How will the company handle the stars of the future like Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett, and Curt Hennig? -------------- What this means for Jim Crockett Promotions? 1. Who will replace Ole in the Horsemen? And will they get a new manager? 2. How will the loss of their three top tag teams and their tag champs affect the division? 3. How will the lack of managers affect the wrestlers who benefit from them? 4. How can they capitalize on this entire situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofOldSchool Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 After much back and forth negotiating between Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett, they have come to terms to make one major trade. It addresses both companies questions marks coming out of the roster selection. WWF gets: Ray Rougeau Jim Cornette Gorilla Monsoon Ax Jim Neidhart Jesse Ventura Gene Okerlund Miss Elizabeth Lanny Poffo JCP gets: Oliver Humperdink PauL Ellering JJ Dillion Tony Atlas Gary Hart Hawk Rick Steiner Skandor Akbar Precious Dory Funk Jr. To get answers about this trade and plans going forward, Bill Apter sat down with both Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett Jr. Apter: Vince, what was the idea behind this trade involving this individuals? McMahon: Well, I was really disappointed to see Gorilla potentially leaving our company. He's been with us for so long now and he has really played a big part in our expansion. You also have Jesse who is very good at being bad, to get that "different" viewpoint behind the microphone, you know? Apter: Right. Did have all of those managers play a part in this? McMahon: *laughs* Yeah a little bit. It's hard though, especially when they are all great in their roles. However, less is more. You don't want to over saturate the roster with managers. I mean it's one thing for one manager to mange 6 guys, but you don't want 6 managers managing one guy. I knew Crockett lacked them and I figured it was my chance to get back my three announcers. Apter: What about Andre The Giant? Did you try to get him back? McMahon: Yeah we had discussions about it, but it didn't work out like I had hoped. Apter: Did they want too much in return? McMahon: Yes and no. I mean no doubt, Andre The Giant is a legend in our business, probably one of the most recognizable figures ever. However, he is like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a legend, but how many more years can you get out of him? Probably one or two. There comes a point where you have to look to the future. It'd be like the Chicago Bulls trading Michael Jordan for Jabbar. You don't get rid of someone who has many, many years ahead of him for someone who will probably retire in the next year. Apter: Okay, well what do you have in store with your new roster? Do you have anyone you are particularly excited about? McMahon: *laughs* Well Mr. Apter, I have Wrestlemania III coming up, so they can definitely experience that. As for anyone I'm excited about? Other than the guys I already had, I must say I'm excited for Rick Rude and this guy calling himself The Dingo Warrior. Have you seen him? Man he is ripped! *laughs* Apter: Alright Vince, that wraps up this interview. Thanks for granting us this rare interview. McMahon: Thank you Bill.

Commentators are Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura.</p><p> </p><p> Vince: Welcome everyone to beautiful Tempe, AZ for this week's episode of Superstars of Wrestling! Joining me as always is Jesse "The Body" Ventura!</p><p> </p><p> Ventura: That's right McMahon, I'm here to bring some class to this program!</p><p> </p><p> Vince: This week we will see The Dynamite Kid in action.</p><p> </p><p> Ventura: The Dynamite Kid is going to be lonely out there without his former tag team partner.</p><p> </p><p> Vince: Indeed he might be Jesse. With only a few weeks away from Wrestlemania III, we are without a WWF Title match. With the major news this week that several WWF wrestlers are no longer in promotion, one of them was Andre The Giant.</p><p> </p><p> Ventura: Yeah, Hogan's prayers have finally paid off. His nightmare has gone away. Maybe I'll come out of retirement and challenge Hogan for the title? Haha!</p><p> </p><p> Match 1: The Dynamite Kid defeated Jimmy Jack Funk 6:15 via pinfall. D- Rating</p><p> </p><p> <em>"Mean" Gene Okerlund is at the stage.</em></p><p> </p><p> Okerlund: Alright everybody, please allow me to introduce to you...The King of the World Wrestling Federation...along with his manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, "King" Harley Race!</p><p> </p><p> <em>Race and Heenan come out.</em></p><p> </p><p> Okerlund: Bobby, I understand you two have a very special challenge you want to issue?</p><p> </p><p> Heenan: Yes Okerlund, when you are as successful as me and "King" Harley Race are, it's hard to be humble. However, we aren't out here to toot our own horn...we can do that anytime. What we are out here for is to issue a challenge to one Junkyard Dog. You see, he thinks he is above royalty. He thinks that just because he thinks he is a big dog, he doesn't have to obey the king.</p><p> </p><p> The King wants to prove to him and all of these lowly peasants that no one is above Harley Race. He is The King for a reason! Tell 'em King!</p><p> </p><p> Race: Junkyard Dog, no one is denying you're a tough individual. You wouldn't be in this business if you weren't tough. Yet, there is ONE thing you are missing. That's class! If you had any class in your body, you would bow before me, because I am YOUR King and King's should be treated with RESPECT!</p><p> </p><p> You come out here with a chain around your neck, barking, and crawling on the mat like you're an actual dog. The thing is, with dogs, they always have a master. So...as long as I am the King of the WWF, I will be your master and you will do as I say and at Wrestlemania III, if you are man enough to accept my challenge, I will defeat you and you will give me the proper respect that is fit for a king!</p><p> </p><p> <em>Race and Heenan leave to a chorus of boos</em> C+ rating</p><p> </p><p> Vince: Strong words from Harley Race and Bobby Heenan directed towards on Junkyard Dog.</p><p> </p><p> Ventura: Very strong words, McMahon. However, I don't think JYD will accept the challenge.</p><p> </p><p> Vince: Why is that?</p><p> </p><p> Ventura: Isn't it obvious? JYD is afraid of being humiliated in front of the entire world. Wrestlemania III is going to be the biggest wrestling event in history. Why would the Dog want to be embarrassed like that by a far superior athlete?</p><p> </p><p> Vince: I don't think the Junkyard Dog is afraid of anything. He is a man's man and rest assured, he will accept the challenge!</p><p> </p><p> Match 2: Randy "Macho Man" Savage def. Corporal Kirchner in 4:44 with the Flying Elbow. D+ rating</p><p> </p><p> Match 3: The Rougeau Brothers def. The Wild Samoans in 6:05 when Jacques pinned Afa with the La Bombe de Rougeau. C- rating</p><p> </p><p> Piper's Pit was conducted with WWF Champion Hulk Hogan talking about Wrestlemania III and the uncertainty of his opponent. Suggests that maybe Piper would challenge him for the belt now that both men are without opponents. B+ rating</p><p> </p><p> Match 4: Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat def. The Iron Sheik in 6:37 with the Flying Karate Chop. D+ rating.</p><p> </p><p> Match 5: WWF Tag Team Champions The Hart Foundation def. The Can-Am Connection in 9:17 when Hart pinned Zenk after The Hart Attack.
