so the matches that we read to try and comprehend whats going on in your circuit arent there for several matches at all, well they are only there for one.We couldnt get much out of your first card because there were no storylines just match commentary directly from tnm now for week 2 we only get those for 1 match.Also no match 3 lineup.I'm assuming this is unbooked but 39 seconds is a little ridiculous for any match let alnoe one thats supposed to be the main event of the show why not continue the match with an explination why or something anything really.I know it may sound alot but with the roster there could be a whole lot more to it then there is.

A couple other suggestions (the first being posted in your first card as well)

1. Write-ups...like I said before even a couple of lines on each match really helps pull people in.

2. Try to stick within the weightclasses or close to them. There really aren't very many squash matches in Japan and although Jyushin Lyger is a strong worker pitting him against Tenzan (Who is arguably the hardest worker in NJPW right now) is not really going to fly without some kind of reason behind it...unless you want WWE style crap squash matches.

3. Stick with it...it may sound like I am busting your chops but I am excited to see another japanese fed pop up (I think I was doing the only one that was active previously) and it will be awesome to see what you can do with the workers. Leave me a PM if you want to ask questions about some workers that you may not have a lot of info on or just talk about puro in general. I'll be glad to help.

It's going to be tough since I already got 28 cards without saving all the details. I didn't make all the matches, I used Socko's Match Maker 3 to get my matches. But, I see your point. After all those cards are completed, i'll start saving my details. Look for Week 3 soon.

Let me ask this to you Carlzilla, I'm not too familiar with the Japan wrestling feds other than in PWI or on the Japanese Hardcore Wrestling PPV's, but I need to know, what are the names of the Mega Cards in Japan? Let me know.
CarlzillaPosted on 02/16/05 at 07:53:17

Well lets see...
NJPW has:
TOUKON FESTIVAL ~ WRESTLING WORLD
G1 Climax (Tournament)
and Nexess

AJPW has:
Champion Carnival (League)
and Real World Tag League

As far as other big events are concered they just kinda happen, usually at the end of tours, and usually with some awful engrish title ("Love and Bump" or "Chono Steam" for example)

If anyone else knows of any others feel free to chime in.

On the other hand, you've got 28 cards worth of hindsight to base comments on - make some stuff up and take the chance to hype anyone who you know is going to win a title in 10 weeks time.
