I never got an answer about how drafting TV and event deals works. Can multiple feds work with the same network?

PCG has announced that Misterioso y Volador are #1 contenders to the PCG Tag Team champions Los Villanos! Rey Mysterio gave the pick "two thumps up" in the promotional photos.</p><p> </p><p>

Gedo & Jado, who believed they should get the first shot, were reportedly furious. Gedo said: "These gaijin fools don't have what it takes to represent a prestige company! Me, and Jado, we are the future of tag team wrestling"!</p>

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>NHK signs up PCG:</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/Pure%20Canvas4_zpsr54dlfup.png</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

The largest Japanese-language TV network finished negotiations with PCG today. NHK World will broadcast PCG events and PCG tour highlights from the hot ashes that rain down from Mount Fuji to the ice swans displayed in Sapporo. </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://coletti.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/nhk.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

NHK World provides both english-language and Japanese programming to a wide audience. PCG owner Antonio Inoki stated the coverage was "very big" and the first step to showing his product to an "American audience". Jushin Liger and Chris Jericho are notable PCG talents who have worked in America. </p><p> </p><p>

Inoki will not confirm or deny that an American tour is in the works.</p>

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>PCG names Red Shoes lead official:</p><p> </p><p>

PCG Owner Antonio Inoki named recent signing Hiroyuki Unno, known as "red shoes" to the head referee position. Mr. Unno brings showmanship and energy to the position. Below, a short clip of Mr. Shoes laying down the rules at an independent show, taken by an admirer. </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="suck-it-2-bien.gif?w=680" data-src="https://stylesclashblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/suck-it-2-bien.gif?w=680" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Unno states "you must know each wrestler personally, and the limits they will test. Sometimes, they want a heavy hand, to keep them in line, and you must get aggressive with them. I am honored to uphold the rules in the Pure Cruiserweight Grappling league".</p>
