Since lazy_duck's Refusal To Return His NWA To It's Original Time-Frame I've Decided To Start My Own NWA:
Same World Champions
Same Territories

The Only Diffence Is that Anybody can Control up to 3 promotions

Are you in?
UnrightPosted on 10/11/06 at 05:35:40

Hey wow.. A schism!
meetzorakPosted on 10/11/06 at 14:43:42

No. Go away. Your grammar be hurtin my brainz.

You know, you could at least have had the decency to hit him over the head with a chair first.
King MunshunPosted on 10/11/06 at 17:11:57

THE DRAMA! My God, sports fans! This is the most exciting turn of events since-- wait, no. I was thinking of something else. Sorry all. Carry on.
TheWavePosted on 10/12/06 at 03:31:50

Wait, I think we should hear Megatron out.

This NWA is going to be based in the original time frame - so by that you mean 1948?

When can we have a draft?  I'd like dibs on Iowa as one of my 3 territories.
Rick GarrardPosted on 10/13/06 at 15:35:34

Has anyone even ran a card yet for either of the NWA unis?  This reaks of JimiC.... all sizzle and no steak.
The PhantomPosted on 10/13/06 at 16:18:37

Yes Rick. Look in the newly created NWA forum.
megatron_85Posted on 10/13/06 at 16:58:10

i mean 1979, thewave
Rick GarrardPosted on 10/14/06 at 02:02:22

I thought this forum WAS the NWA forum... 19 pages for one thread... that's pretty big.
HugeRockStar760Posted on 10/14/06 at 03:18:54

I don't know why it is so hard to decide on a starting date for the NWA alliance to start. What's the point of having a NWA if one circuit starts in 1973 while the other circuits are starting in 1979? If anything you should've started in 1983.

What thread was it where everyone was talking about starting a fed in the 1800's, so they could have Abraham Lincoln wrestling?  :P

It wasn't hard...Megatron would like to start his own NWA circuit that starts at 1979. The NWA circuit that is UP and running has a start date of 1973. Please let's not confuse them. Rick the NWA Circuit has been up for about a week and can be located in the Circuit section under NWA. There are some good cards up and I'm sure if you read them you may enjoy them
HugeRockStar760Posted on 10/14/06 at 17:13:18

1973? I've noticed wrestlers like Sting and Shane Douglas being used in these NWA circuits and that is totally unrealistic according to the timeframe.
JustinPosted on 10/14/06 at 17:43:25

I've noticed ALOT of guys that weren't active in '73...(some didn't even debut til the 80's) I think that the rosters need to be tightened up if you want to use that timeframe.
lazy_duckPosted on 10/14/06 at 18:06:38

were using the time frame as a starting point.. yes thr roster may not be 100% the time frame is more for reference, were not trying to recreate the nwa exactly as it was in the early 70ies
JustinPosted on 10/14/06 at 18:44:14

then why bother with a "timeframe" at all? Why not just say that you're starting now & have anyone use whoever they feel like from any time period?
megatron_85Posted on 10/14/06 at 18:46:01

in any case, justin is right, return the nwa to its rightful place.
HugeRockStar760Posted on 10/14/06 at 19:07:36

It is silly to be running an "alliance" and having world champions when the champion would need to go back in a time machine to defend the title in another territory. I don't understand why the start date was not agreed to by everyone.
JustinPosted on 10/14/06 at 19:57:57

What I meant was that since some people are using wrestlers outside the "timeframe", why not just make it a standard "fantasy" promotion by setting it in current time & letting people use who they want from any era instead of saying "we're going to start like it was in '73" (paraphrase) and confuse readers & members by allowing people from outside the window.
lazy_duckPosted on 10/14/06 at 20:16:56

Ok, Im not sure why this an issue. The time frame WAS AND ONLY an issue to one person who IS NOT PART OF THIS ALLIANCE.

The time frame is only a reference point when the territory system was big. We never said this was going to be a true account of what the NWA was like in the 70's

I don't see why it's such in issue?
peteg9699Posted on 10/14/06 at 20:24:01

Lazy, forget them. Lets just enjoy what we created.
King MunshunPosted on 10/14/06 at 20:46:21

So what show is Stone Cold on?  ???
megatron_85Posted on 10/14/06 at 20:56:52

lazy_duck you will:

a) bring wrestlers who has worked in 73
b) push the time-frame to 79
c) enjoy your simulation

Hey megatron.. what exactly gives you the right to dictate the condition of other people's circuits?  

I think it's been an unwritten rule that everyone's circuit is their own. If they want The Rock to be a jobber, go for it. If they want to use dead wrestlers, sure! If they want to set their federation in space, nobody can stop them.  Other people can make reccomendations, leave criticism, or choose not to read because they hate it.

Lazy Duck's project is ambitious, but he's got a bunch of people on board that are helping him realize his vision.  If you really hate his multi-NWA fed group because of the date, then don't read their cards.
JustinPosted on 10/14/06 at 22:16:10

I never said I was against the project... it is an ambitious undertaking. I applaud the effort. I was just confused by the whole "timeframe" issue. Now I understand the point he was trying to make. I wish him the best of luck with it.

I also agree with Unright that you shouldn't try to dictate to anyone how they should run their projects. If I like to use rulesets to guide my way thru a time when I'm having a mental block with booking, whose to say I'm wrong? Give an opinion on how much you like or dislike something but, just like in real life, if the person in charge of a circuit doesn't care for your opinion he(or she) has the right to ignore it & move on with what they are doing.

What we're going for here is a general era when the NWA territorial system was still going strong.  So we chose 70s/early 80s to fit that.  We picked a specific start year just so we're all on the same page, but obviously that means some of us will have guys that weren't wrestling in real life then - that's just part of our alternate reality.  No time machines needed, our territories are all in the same year.

And that's why we're not doing an all-time fantasy NWA, we still wanted to keep it to regional-NWA-era talent.

At any rate, all these decisions were agreed to by all of us actually doing this NWA.  (Megatron is not in that group.)
Some GuyPosted on 10/17/06 at 14:22:34

MegaDork you will:

1. Stop complaining about the NWA Circuit
2. Find your own exports instead of asking people to e-mail them to you
3. Actually run a circuit, lest ye be mocked like JimiC.

First of all, as a member of said NWA, I will not let your ATTEMPTS (bad ones at that.) be taken seriously.

You have nothing to say about are circut. I think you might have some sort of serious mental issue to even take it this far. As of now i cant name one person on here that even cares about your opinion.

In retrospect i should've prefaced this by saying, "Shut the fuck up. No one likes you."

Your ideas are unfounded, Your attitude is shitter then mine, and just for the hell of it im sure your face is ugly.

Im sure i speak for the whole NWA when i say, We will NOT listen to anything you have to say to us... ever.
