As a result, both MSW and GCW have not only agreed to sever our [B]non-aggression pacts[/B], but have also jointly issued a declaration of [B]War[/B] with the WWF. Harumph! If this is how they receive our gesture of good will then so be it and have at it. WWF will not be caught behind the eightball under any circumstances. It's unfortunate, but protocol demands that we strike the first blow. A lasting blow to be sure! So then... - WWF has offered contract options to the following [B]MSW[/B] workers: [B]The Junk Yard Dog Nikolai Volkoff Leaping Lanny Poffo[/B] WWF has also offered a contract option to [B]Paul Orndorff[/B] of GCW fame. The WWF's interest in [B]Orndorff[/B] is minor at best and the possibility of him jumping ship should do little to hurt the overall image of [B]GCW.[/B] [B]JYD[/B] on the other hand is another story.

Negotiations went very well for the most part. We were not able to establish a working agreement with their promotion, but the [B]non-aggression[/B] pact has indeed been severed with no repercussions whatsoever. This is a good thing for us at the least as we are now able to freely sign some of there talent. And sign we will... - WWF has entered into negotiations with the following [B]AWA[/B] personnel: [B]Hulk Hogan Jesse "The Body" Ventura Bobby "The Brain" Heenan[/B] - Negotiations abound this week for [B]Titan Sports[/B] as we precede to raid several promotions throughout the country in an effort to upgrade or revitalize our own product. Superstars contacted and signed include: [B]Randy Savage of CWA * Jimmy Hart of CWA The Bushwhackers (Luke/Butch) of SWCW[/B] *Should [B]Lanny Poffo[/B] sign on, it is more than likely he and [B]Savage[/B] will be teaming up as [B]The Poffo Brothers.[/B] - [B]WWF[/B] has also contacted and signed the following workers formerly employed by the WWF: [B]BlackJack Bobby Duncum[/B]* [B]Bulldog Dick Brower[/B] *[B]Bobby Duncum's[/B] past matches against [B]Bob Backlund[/B] as well as a recommendation from [B]Dick Murdoch[/B] have afforded him this oppurtunity. - The following workers have been signed by [B]WWF[/B] in an enhancement capacity: [B]Iron Mike Sharpe Brutus Beefcake Steve Lombardi Buddy Wolfe Bam Bam Bigelow Corporal Kirschner Outback Jack The Young Stallions (Jim Powers/Paul Roma)[/B] - In a final administrative move for the week, [B]WWF[/B] has entered into negotiations with two major Superstars whose individual presences' could change the face of the [B]World Wrestling Federation[/B] as we know it. The first is a huge international star who has astounding fan appeal and the in-ring credibility of a [B]Bob Backlund or Ric Flair.[/B] The other is an even bigger star albeit with less in-ring credibility.

You already know how I feel about your input. I also know that you were partial to my old diary which is why I quoted you. I'm gonna try my best to live up to that last one with this but I must say, it's a tall order to be sure. I've been plotting this out for awhile now and I have several stories ready to go, but I don't know if the fervor is there with this yet. That'll come when the characters start speaking to me tho. Reading your MACW diary again has definitely inspired me to give the DOTT diary thing another go. Thanks again man and as always, you have carte blanche to chime in here on anything you want. I truly value your input! Anyone else who may be following this, I have PLENTY of things in store as well as several surprises. For those who don't know, I looove the swerve! I also like build up so I'm going to ask for patience here as I want the story to serve itself as it unfolds. Now then, WWF Championship Wrestling is up next which means a long write up right out of the gate for a new years supercard. In the meantime, here is a link to my old DOTT WCW Black Saturday diary. It may give you guys some insight into the depth of story as well as the type of shows you can expect from this diary.

Mate, I think it was D Boon's Ghost who said it best when he basically said with your diary you captured the spirit of the time so well. I've seen some good DOTT diaries, and I've seen one's who try to change the face of history too much and lose sight of how different it must have been, and then there's yours whose diary hits the nail on the head as far as the tension of the time goes. That's the essence of how brilliant that diary was. After reading that diary, I started looking through obsessedwithwrestling, Mid Atlantic Gateway, even low and behold wikipedia and the likes to try and learn as much about that time as I could. Coming from New Zealand originally our televised wrestling started if memory serves me correctly around about 1987-1988, and it was only WWF until the mid 90's. So I had literally no idea on the true passion and defiance and mayhem of the times your diary spoke of - and the good thing was, your diary mirrored in its sentiment the way various other sites play the experience out. I'll be truly engrossed waiting to see what you do with the World Wrestling Federation, which as I stated in another DOTT WWF diary, I can't believe how ordinary their roster is overall and given that I can't believe how quickly they revolutionised the professional wrestling market. If anyone can truly encapsulate that, it's you. Good luck.
