alpha2117 · July 7, 2017

By the way - I intend to break the 80% rule.

I do have decent reason though - The mod is very short of Australasian workers (1 possible ref, 1 possible announcer etc) and that got me looking first at who was available and noticing a bunch of people who work here on occasion who aren't listed as doing so. If I just played by the 80% rule I would have a choice of 116 possible in ring workers - including 56 year old Godfather and almost all of whom aren't particularly popular. So less than 5% of the workforce is available to me under the 80%. So yeah that rule is gonna get broken.

If you were starting a fed here you do what Andrew McManus did back in 2001 when he started WWA in 2001 and hire a few big name mercenaries and pad your roster with other peoples castoffs. It's weird because it failed but you look at who he hired back then and he was reasonably astute in terms of who they picked up AJ Styles, Brian Adams & Bryan Clark, Buff Bagwell, Ernest Miller, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, Devon Storm, Eddie Guerrero, Gangrel, Ghost Walker, Jeff Jarrett, Kazarian, Jerry Lynn, Konnan, Low-Ki, Norman Smiley, The Steiners, Sting, Stevie Ray, Road Dogg, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Bret Hart as Commisoner. He actually gave it a red hot go in the aftermath of the WCW collapse and in many ways it was a dry run for TNA which it's titles rolled into. Circumstances meant they had very few Ozzies - Nathan Jones, Mark Mercedes and a couple of jobbers. I'm in a better position than they were choice wise but not by a huge amount.

Ausssie All pro co-promoted House of Hardcore just ran shows down here a few weeks back and almost none of the workers have been updated to reflect that they can work here. I'm not talking about stars but solid mid carders like Carlito, MVP (who works here every year for the last few years), Jack Swagger, Bull James, Matt Cross, Young Bucks, The Squad (Kenny & Mikey), Colt Cabana & Ryan Nemeth all wrestled in Australia within the last month. Jeremy Borash used to work here for the WWA that started in 2001.

So yeah you'll find me drafting Samoan's and Tongans (even though they are somewhat bizarrely not set up to work in what is effectively their home area). I was also thinking of using some non Japanese workers from Asia as if you were starting a biggish fed here that's one of the things you'd consider doing to get those markets (which aren't reflected in game).

I looked through the workers and found a few pics I really like or from really obscure locations and if things are running low late in the draft you might see some truly bizarre picks from me of people nobody has ever heard of. Sure they aren't Australian but I somehow think very few people are going to consider drafting obscure South Americans working as enhancement talent in Mexico (especially given nobody is playing a Lucha fed).

I'm still going to be picking a predominately Anzac flavoured fed but in the tradition of the old Australian WCW it's also going to have a fair % of somewhat bizarre imports because frankly I don't have a lot of choice other than do it.

Would you be able to do something for World Wrestling Japan? I have some vague ideas - WWJ will be based in Nagoya, and they seem to use black or red on their city symbol, so those colors seem good to stick to. This is called a mitsudomoe, a symbol that is associated with the Shinto god of war: http://img1.garitto.com/data/shop/21650/product/_/3a3235fd0f5432c36ee10231f31a0941.C120.gif I was thinking maybe replacing the "sun" in the Japanese flag with the three-comma like symbol? Or something like that? For a banner, probably go with some modern blocky font, to represent that WWJ is supposed to be a forward looking, progressive company.

The SSWA will be a trading only alliance and will host 4 major competitions throughout the year to determine who the best wrestlers on the planet are in each division. The 4 competitions will be contested as "Tournament Titles" and will be ran as follows: March - SSWA Queens Classic - A female only main event competition June - SSWA King of the Super Juniors - A Male only main event competition limited to lightweights and below, with a focus on high-flying wrestling September - SSWA Heavyweight Grand Prix - A Male only main event competition, limited to lightweights and above December - SSWA World Tag Battle - A Floating tag-team competition limited to lightweights and above More details will be forthcoming... </div></blockquote> Local press in each country are scrambling to find out more information as to the announcement. In trying to reach out to both companies for comment, a google search of each company led nowhere. Wrestlers that the press have reached out to responded with "What's a PCW?" when asked to comment about the companies. We will have more on this developing story as we get more information

Dr_Avalanche · July 7, 2017

World Wrestling Japan are very pleased to confirm the alliance with Premier Championship Wrestling. Doubling the pool of available talent for our major tournaments can only be beneficial.

Im really hyped for this draft. Having the first Pick overall is putting some pressure on my company. There are quite a few Workers im considering. Since my company is based more on performance, i have to take a good in-ring worker and not somebody who is just popular.
