And that would be unacceptable. Why not? It's the best-case scenario: both deserving faces get the belt: Shawn in his favorite arena, Benoit in his hometown. Shawn in his favorite arena? ...excuse me, are we talking about the same Shawn that got BOOED the last time strolling through the Province of Alberta? The same province that has Calgary not that far away, which means Calgarians will be showing up, which means he's ass will be booed more than anything else? And since he'll be against Chris F'N Benoit, Edmontonians will be chanting his (Benoit) and only his name! If there's one thing I know, it's Edmontonians and Calgarians will boo Michaels ass right out of Rexall Centre (I still wish to call it The Colliseum). It's something we two towns agree upon. We don't like him and we never will (and if anyone does, I wish to smack them upside the head).

Apparently Tom has the league as well. Edit: And didn't read my thread about it... GR!!! ...he also has a better drafting time. March 8th at 7pm EST.

...wtf??? I just set one up in Yahoo, now Tom's setting one up as well? At least you've got a better drafting time then me. Couldn't you at least have gone to my thread I had made Tom and told me this ahead of time? Cause I signed up at least 8 people Tom.

Can't. There are no night drafting times left for at night. Which means this draft is once again "OFFLINE". However, it is going to be different than how I handled the NBA one. There will be a date and time that you must attend (don't and we just plug in players at your position, unless you send me a listing of players you wish for and I'll work with that). And we'll hold it then, via AIM Chatroom. Results will be posted up here. Think that's the best way to do this. Now then, if we can all agree on a time and date, we're good to go.

A decent trade that possibly include a centre.

I will be doing something like that don't worry. I just need people to sign up first. Then we get something like that together.

So does this mean that the trade for A-Rod doesn't count then?

...and who the hell began calling this a work first... Hm... Let me think... Hm... Let's see here... ...I think his name was Vitiated Spirit. Yes, I believe so. Seriously, I half believed that there might have been some anger over what Hart did, and the more this stupidity dragged on the more I felt this is a work. As soon as Samoa Joe pipped up, I called it for what it is. An elaborate work that built off of something that happened. That is why people do hate Hart, is because it is seen as something real and going to the point that people will believe "OMFG~! Teddy's just damn well insane if he shows up at RoH!" I'll give RoH credit. This is perhaps one of the better storylines that they are pulling the strings on. If it plays out just right, this will be pretty damn entertaining even more so.

So far it is: Vern, Cartman and myself. 13 spots still remaining.

People actually liked that? ...I thought everyone wanted to kill me over that draft.

There is no draft times on the weekends. It isn't that they don't have any, they aren't listed. PERIOD. Oh well, I've got a backup plan that might work. We'll do the draft offline BUT all picks must be sent to me, which I'll post up in this thread. This way we can continually see the list growing and not having any problems and such. ...at least that's one thing to do anyways.

BTW, this league also allows for odd number teams! So no worrying about making the league an odd manned league! Just join up for the fun anyways! You won't hurt anyone at all!

Ahem... I said "Date is changable" so just join already. Worse comes to worse, I make it offline.

WTF???? Anglesault... Not bitching about Eddie vs. Angle? Actually having hope that this works even though it is slimmer than none? ...no way...

TRADE DEADLINE THIS THURSDAY~! I repeat that I have the following people on the trading block: Antwain Jamison Jason Terry Joe Johnson Tim Thomas Waiting for offers. Edit: Oh and Guerreros, you and I are tied 4 a piece and you aren't owning me in any category... You'll still beat me, due to more games played, but still, I can duke it out with ya if given the chance.

Once again Royal, hats off to the good show. Can't wait for the next one.

June 1st, 2004 With Combat Zone Wrestling closing its doors, it kind of hit home how volatile this business of ours is. Even if you have been around for five years and going strong, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can make it big. You still can fail and end up nothing more than a faded memory of what can be. “Excuse me, sir. I have a report to give. Remember?” I had been so wrapped up in thought that I forgot about my meeting with Sophie about how my last month went. Hopefully, I’ll be hearing some good news. “Thank you. I must say your business aspect is quite ideal as we’ve steadily been gaining in both financial and public support. As such our public image has risen to 78 as of last month, and we continue to be drawing better crowd reactions to everything we do.” “This was good news.Last month as a little lackluster I thought and could’ve still been better.” “On the contrary, all I’ve heard so far from our last monthly event is good reviews of it. Although, you are right. We could still do better. Our best televised match was The Messiah vs. Adam Windsor on May 4th for the Ultimate Championship. While our best match from Midsummer Madness was the grudge match: Big Vito vs. The Messiah.” “Nice to hear. Too bad Big Vito and Messiah won’t sign on long term. I could really use them to put over the company big time. Oh well, I’ve got everyone else to build the shows upon. Big things for Adam, Crush, Marcus and Leo then.” I watched as her eyes lit up in shock at the last two names mentioned. She spoke with utter disbelief. “Marcus and Leo? But you wouldn’t dare put those two in a title match so early! They aren’t ready!” Ok… I understand her being a little upset with my decision to put Adam Windsor and Orange Crush as my front running stars, but getting mad about my great wrestling stars, Marcus and Leo? I know a good thing when I see one and those two where/are it. “Look, I just mean I’m going to build them up as great wrestlers. We are still months away before I’ll even consider giving them a title. Let alone get near the Ultimate Championship. I just mean, I’m going to use them to build up my company.” “Alright, but might I suggest also building up some other superstars as well? Perhaps Chance Beckett, GQ, Adam Flash and Paul London? They seem like they are ready to take it up a notch.” “Hm… Not a bad idea. Since Chance is the Champion, I could use him to face off against GQ (his rival), perhaps build the division around Adam Flash (who seemingly works good with almost everyone) till at least Danny Rose returns, and perhaps even have a good run of Paul London as Champion. The possibilities are endless…” “Anyways, sir. I’ll leave you to your insane plans. Good night.”

Actually, I just used them elementry style. I've been setting up the rankings and I'm simply stunned at what I've done despite the bullshit that it is, looking at the rankings and stats. As soon as July hits, you'll understand what I mean.

Chapter 5 – Revisions ***WARNING*** I have taken the best of what other people have used in their own federation diaries and added them to my own. Thus to challenge myself and add a little intrigue into my diaries. Also anything else I can think of at this time. So first, I’d like to say that I’m borrowing the preview from well… Just about everyone since it’ll help flesh out my shows and federation a little more. Finally, um… I’d like to say that soon I’ll probably be adding in a divisional categorical account of who is in what division. This will most likely happen in July. I thank RoH and anyone using RoH diaries for the idea and the expansion I’ll be making to it. ***END WARNING*** June 1st, 2004 It’s been a hectic news week for us folks so let’s get right to it. NWATNA made huge strides when they signed Hulk Hogan. Yes, it is official and done. The WWE wasn’t about to pick up the aging Man of Hulkamania, however, TNA goes out of its way to sign Hulk Hogan to a written contract. This could either make or break TNA as it vies to be the #1 company in the wrestling industry. Not to stop there, but TNA went out of its way and managed to sign Devon Storm to a written contract as well. Devon Storm, a.k.a. Crowbar of WCW, has been told that he shall be getting a big push to the top of the card but that remains to be seen. With every company fighting to becoming #1, there are bound to be some companies that just can’t keep up and finally end up going broke. Recently USA Pro Wrestling, NWA: Florida, East Coast Wrestling Associaton, and IWA: Mid South all filed for bankruptcy. But the biggest shocker of all the federations going bankrupt would be Combat Zone Wrestling. After five years of being in the wrestling business, CZW had to file for bankruptcy and officially close its doors. Although lately CZW had a rough history with being consider a garbage federation, to becoming somewhat of a legitimate entity, before drifting back to a garbage federation, it was one of those federations you would always assume would be around. However, it simply wasn’t meant to be. I ask for a moment of silence as we pay our respects to CZW. … AJPW has announced its roster for the new year and the following people were included in its roster: Abdullah The Butcher, Elix Skipper, Hi69, Johnny Smith, Kaz Hayashi, Mike Awesome, NOSAWA, The Amazing Red, Tomoaki Honma and Toshiaki Kawada. And in Ultimate Championship Wrestling news, apparently, UCW is bolstering up its rankings once again by hiring Dino Bambino, Brian XL, tag team Fuzion (Blade and Mike Paiva) and tag team Five Star Attraction (Eric Young and Matt Classic). Expect all these wrestlers to appear sometime in the near future on Ultimate Championship Wrestling programming here soon.

Since everyone is ok with how the stats are played out, and how the suggestion for an extra player is. Here we go with what we'll have for next season. Again, just a proposition. 9 players to be drafted once again. 2 guards, 2 forwards, 2 utilities, a lone centre, 2 benches. IL drops to 2. Stats: FGM, FTM, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK, TO(new). 9 stats in total, one new stat. Two keepers is still debatable, btw, but since I'm not changing anything (only adding a single stat to get rid of the 4-4 ties), the idea of keepers will be staying. Said amount is up in the air. On March 21st, you must decide whether you wish to take two keepers and lose your first two draft picks, or restart fresh. Now I know some people are going to say that "I would've planned on keeping some players had I known this" but how are you sure you were going to keep them then? Besides, I doubt a lot of people will go the two keeper route (mostly bottom drafting teams that were highly ranked). You have the option of changing your choice of keepers or fresh up until April 18th (that's the finalized day for having keepers or no). Trading keepers for picks or keepers for keepers will be allowed a month prior to the official drafting day. During the draft, trades will be allowed, but only at the person officating the trade's pick (so say I have the 14 draft pick in the third round, and I'm trading up, I must state that I've traded my third round pick for Alfdogg's #3 choice, Brian Cardinal, and then let Alfdogg make his pick). All trades made during the draft, must be approved by the commish before said trade is announced (just because I don't want this multi-player eighteen man trade going down between three teams without due notice and assurance that this is agreed upon by both managers). That more or less covers it. As it stands right now for the draft (order of the draft will be finalized March 21st as well, playoffs is a whole difference season and shouldn't reflect on what is done). What position you have determines what pick you have every single round. 01) *New Manager* 02) Gotham Harlequinns 03) Crimson Storm 04) Gwangju White Tigers 05) Fear The Slayers 06) Pocono Poison 07) The Alfdogg Asylum 08) The Allegied Rapists 09) The Court Jesters 10) Pogo The Monkey 11) Whalers On The Moon 12) Team Failure~! 13) Better Than Utah 14) Team 2004 15) Celtics 16) Guerreros

You do know you are dealing with wrestling fans who can and will find something to bitch about. You can't keep everyone happy. I CAN TRY DAMMIT~!!! IF THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY! ...besides, since I'm jobless, I'm commited to making this work.

Meh. More TEW info. You know here it's from. You know who's telling you this (Adam). You know that I, the one and only bring you this info. The Interview (Note: Adam never gives proper interviews, they are always weird)

And if this is the sentiment of the league itself, I'm not about to change things (except add one stat and perhaps another starter). It's just I don't want any complaints for next season. Edit: Antwain Jamison is up for trade.

Remember HarleyQuinn, whenever you are taking into account finances of any Canadian franchise, you must remember we are bound by our own money. Hence that $45 mil US, is really $70 mil to us. The difference in money really makes or breaks us.

Because no one is going to find two good centres after all the good ones go in the first five rounds.
