2016 February Draft Run (1994 Rising Storms)


Recommended Posts

I've started (another) run-through with the most recent Draft. I want this thread to promote, and discuss, the draft community (in general). In this case, we used the 1994 Rising Storms database.

 

I will be "observing" this as Dave Meltzer. But now, a quick run down of the major companies.

 

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/f4w/images/4/4b/Meltzer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070604153316

 

Australia: AAWC [Regional]

The AAWC contains many major American stars from the "new generation": Bret Hart, Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels call the promotion home. Don't let the lineup fool you, AAWC is an australian old-school puro promotion through and through. AydenReid was smart to add local aussie stars to the mix, too, and Marc Mecedes usually ends up in the main event as well. They're always putting on great shows, but they're going to struggle to get the necessary popularity to expand on PPV or on TV.

 

Europe: German Championship Wrestling [National]

German Championship Wrestling mixes traditional British and European stars with hot American talents. GCW mixes modern wrestling with sports entertainment -- if I had to pin it down, I'd say Lucha Underground meets old-school WCW. Tardelli did a good job picking up stars over in Europe, which should come in handy when and if the bigger american companies offer over workers, such as Owen Hart, big contracts to jump ship.

 

America: Championship Wrestling Federation [National]

Run by Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Championship Wrestling Federation combines the style of the NWA with the savvy of the WWF. Filled to the brim with classic WCW stars, Ric Flair, Sting and Stunning Steve Austin all call the promotion home, one may accurately state CWF is the youngest promotion out there. ACCBiggz has assembled the stars to take on both American promotions.

 

America: Big Boys Wrestling [National]

LucianCarter's promotion resembles the "sports entertainment" model the closest. With burgeoning stars and smark favorite Jim Cornette behind the wheel, his company is an unstoppable force, with the potential to level the playing field and consistently rack up wins in national battles. Hogan, Taker, Warrior, Vader ... all the big boys have come from New England to duke it out on the grand stage.

 

America: Gamma Ray Wrestling [National]

Kijar's promotion brings out the fan in all of us -- he has many dream matches in the ring, albeit many of them involving tag encounters. A much more in-ring based product, one has to wonder if they have the star power to compete with both Jim Cornette and Mr. McMahon. However, the matches should be fun to watch in the interim.

 

Japan: Pure Cruiserweight Grappling [Cult]

Founded by the Japanese legend Antonio Inoki, Pure Cruiserweight Grappling provides an all-Junior heavyweight take on Japanese wrestling. KYE, or KnowYourEnemy, assembled a fine team of talents, including three tiger masks and two super ligers on one roster, but dissension within the ranks over the weight limit seems to led to the roster being somewhat of an "incoherent mess". Still, PCG offers some of the best in-ring action in the universe, but the star power is lacking.

 

Japan: World Honor Wrestling [National]

Uncrewed assembled a more traditional promotion with World Honor Wrestling. His roster, not his design, provides the blueprint for success. Many of Japan's greatest heavyweights and junior heavyweights call WHW home, and insiders think that the promotion will produce 5-star matches on a near monthly basis. Several stars are on the wrong side of time decline, including Terry Funk and Stan Hansen, and overall the heavyweight division may need to be retooled for the future.

 

[Month 1 highlights coming next!]

 

[if anyone feels this should be in diary board, feel free to transfer -- I think it fits better here, as this will only last a couple weeks and is a watcher game]

A great match between two bitter rivals and a month long build for WHW. A hard-striking match with two in-ring masters -- and a fitting end to a night-long tournament conclusion. Both wrestlers displayed great potential in the match, and many believe either could be the promotion's ace. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In this prestige event, Hulk Hogan and Rick Rude faced off in a grudge match in the headliner.

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a great segment with "The Total Package". Despite the in-ring action, many were disappointed that no titles were on the line -- apparently they were saved for the weekly PPVs.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The best we've seen so far from GRW. Savage, with his great selling and ability to play to the crowd, was perfect for the stiff, brutal Hawk. Randy got almost no offense in, but managed to make a comeback and win after hitting the Elbow Drop -- which Hawk got up from quickly. Both Road Warriors seem to be in line for a major push in GRW -- many fans have already penciled in Steiners vs. Warriors at a date to be determined -- but could the match possibly live up to the hype? Not if Scott and Rick's recent stinker with the Eliminators is any evidence. Many believe this low-stakes semi-main, and a sub-par overall card, brought down the excellent world title tilt. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jim Cornette masterfully orchestrated this terrific event! The New York based company had a terrific visit to Hawaii, headlined by "The Immortal" against "Big Van" Vader. The crowd were on their feet for a terrific match! Cornette hyped the main encounter with several sharp segments, ending with a match many think could win match of the year! Luger and Warrior had a solid show-down in the semi-main, and Greg Valentine tore the house down in his match against "The Ram" Randy Robinson. Could Warrior be the future of BBW?

A terrific title defense from Sting -- after disappointing defenses against Big Bubba Rogers and "Stunning Steve", Sting pulls off a classic against Anderson. Arn sold the bee-jesus out of Steve Borden's offense, and while he did get the occasional heat in, Sting was put over decisively in this match. Will Sting bring this quality against a less apt opponent as champion? Many think Bob Backland may be the next in the ring with the champion -- no one doubts Mr. Backland's ability, but can the former All-American still keep up with the Stinger in his forties? In the semi-main, he had a good, but not great, match against Bubba Rogers, winning with the crossface chickenwing. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Head Booker Genichiro Tenryu put together a classic for WHW -- in a company that produces classic matches on a weekly basis. The main event, featuring Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto pinning Atushi Onita and Genichiro Tenryu, was a spectacular performance. WHW's World Title Tilt between Keiji Mutoh and Tatsumi Fuminaji got rave reviews, but many will also remember Stan Hansen's performance against Kenta Kobashi. Mutoh will surely have more chances to defeat Fuminaji for the title in the future. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

As many speculated, BBW has not been outdone by WHW -- they've tagged The Warrior as their figurehead after his fantastic match last month. Warrior has the look to carry the company, but can he perform at an elite level?</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Warrior stepped up to deliver a statement to the media. "CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FEDERATION!" he stated, "AMERICA" he continued, "JAPAN" he added, "THE WARRIOR HAS COME TO BRING BBW TO THE FOREFRONT OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT! I HAVE SEEN INSIDE YOU -- YOU ARE SCARED. BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT COMBAT THE POWER OF THE WARRIOR AND THE MIND OF JIM CORNETTE". </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Two big stars have jumped ship from GRW after the promotion lost the national battle in August. I now classify GRW as Cult in the Observer, and PCG and CWF have taken advantage of their drop in size. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

PCG signed Eddie Guerrero to a lucrative deal that GRW was unwilling to match. Antonio Inoki is rumored to have been targeting the former Black Tiger II for a long time, but rumors surface that Jushin Thuder Liger wants to pair him with super-babyface El Hijo De Santo to reform "The Atomic Pair" instead! CWF signed "The Snake" Jake Roberts after winning a bidding war -- will GRW continue to fall behind BBW and CWF? They have an uphill battle to remain relevant. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

An official figurehead? No. But Steven "Sting" Borden has held the World Heavyweight Championship and is leading the rankings. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Television Champion quickly gained traction among the CWF Faithful. First, Arn Anderson brought prestige to the belt, but Jimmy Garvin won at Wrevolution IX -- his first defense was a bit of letdown against co-tag team champion Robert Gibson -- with whom he's currently fighting against for the Tag Team Titles. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Freebirds against the Rock N' Roll has been a great feud so far, but will it translate to singles actions? Keep your eye on CWF. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Despite the odds, GCW has brought quality, consistent action to Europe, just a touch below WHW and BBW. Davey Boy Smith holds the World Strap, and has been an impressive champion. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

One of the men he defeated in the triple threat for title, Otto Wanz, recently announced his retirement. The German innovator will be missed -- he provided a steady hand in the main event, a **** star match on Planet X? With BBW eyeing the European market, GCW will have to face stiff competition without their most experienced star. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Will GCW maintain their quality run without Wanz? Or will the company crumble under the weight of the Big Boys?</div></div></div></div><p></p>

Meltzer's Rating: *****</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The man known as "the icon" had a match for the ages at Yankee Stadium -- nearly 50,000 saw this amazing match. Both Austin and Sting delivered their best performance yet, keeping fans on the edge of their seat in a back-and-forth match. The more experienced Sting sold for Austin, who several times appeared to have the title won, before making a heavy comeback and getting Austin down for the count... but only just, as Austin kicked out just after three! Everyone bought "Stunning Steve" as a legitimate challenger here, and many speculate he may have a chance to lead the company forward in the future. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In a month where many major companies disappointed, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith and the "King of Harts" Owen Hart had a terrific match, the best in Europe or the UK so far this year. Davey retained in this classic matchup. This was a stacked card, with Lance Storm defeating Dan "The Beast" Sveren in a brutal shoot match to retain the CGW European Title, and a hot semi-main where European Regular John Layfield got the best of "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright. It will be hard for GCW to top this brilliant performance -- or any company running in Europe for that matter. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<p>Im so happy with GCW so far. Drafting a company based out of Europe was really a risk but it seems to pay off. </p><p> </p><p>

Thank you for these updates! BBW selecting the Warrior as Figurehead is a risky move. As far as i remember, the warrior was never easy to work with.</p>
