3-nights 42-matches of pure fantasy

Written by Darbie Gatorade

When I am bored I often have to deal with an unsuspecting flow of creative juices. Someone recently challenged me to come up with some fantasy booking ideas and I sometimes get carried away. What started out as a fun little game ended up being a 42-match marathon. When you read down this list of matches, please remember that wrestlers are assumed to be in their prime.

In my mind this is the ultimate wrestling show (which would end up being a full blown weekend of incredible matches). In fact I have split the madness up into three nights, with three strategically booked cards, each with multiple epic main events. I took a lot of time organizing the cards so the shows would flow in a manner that would keep the fans attention. It’s not as easy as it looks, considering I set a rule that I could only use a wrestler once for the entire weekend. This my attempt at fantasy booking.

Look at each match, close your eyes, and imagine how the match would play out in your head. You might find your own creative juices flowing. You’re encouraged to leave comments at the bottom of the page. Please use your imagination when you read this article and enjoy yourself!

Perry Saturn emerges from the shadows

PERRY SATURN EMERGES FROM
THE SHADOWS FOR “YOUSHOOT”

Some guests of the popular “YouShoot” DVD series have found their way there by being lightning rods for controversy.  Others have been logical choices for their outspoken or outrageous nature.  But never before has a wrestling personality starred in a “YouShoot” for being…well, missing.

Such is the case as Kayfabe Commentaries, producers of the popular series, have today announced the submission lines are open for “YouShoot: Perry Saturn.”  Of course, Saturn’s wrestling career has plenty of highlights, having been trained by Killer Kowalski and making his biggest mark in ECW, then later WCW and WWE.  But Saturn became a frequent topic of discussion by seemingly vanishing into thin air.  And the more fans talked about it…the more they talked about it.  (And then they talked about it some more.)

Rampage Pro Wrestling joins the NWA

Warner Robins, GA- Dr. Johnny Gayton announces that Rampage Pro Wrestling (RPW) recently joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as an Associate Member. All RPW events and television shows will be sanctioned by the NWA.  Dr. Gayton said “I am pleased to have Rampage Pro Wrestling as part of the NWA, a legendary organization that has a storied history in Middle Georgia. I am convinced that this partnership will be good for the fans and wrestlers of RPW and facilitate the resurgence of the NWA in Middle Georgia.”

Legendary wrestling announcer and Hall of Fame member, Gordon Solie, regularly reminded viewers that Georgia Championship Wrestling on WTCG/WTBS was “sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the oldest and largest sanctioning body in professional wrestling.”  The NWA formed in 1948 and is celebrating its 63rd year with members throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Australia, and Japan.   For several years Total Non-Stop Wrestling (TNA) was sanctioned by the NWA.  Many wrestling fans will recall NWA events at the Macon City Auditorium and the Macon Coliseum where the NWA Macon Heavyweight and NWA Macon Tag Team titles were defended as well as other major NWA titles.  Cyclone & Roberto Soto won the NWA Macon Tag Team Titles in 1969 and Buddy Colt became the 1st NWA Macon Heavyweight Champion in 1970.  Other wrestling stars who defended NWA titles in middle Georgia included Mr. Wrestling 1 & 2, Ole & Gene Anderson, “Hands of Stone” Ronnie Garvin, Rocky Johnson (the father of WWE superstar the Rock), Jerry Lawler, Abdullah the Butcher, the Road Warriors, El Mongol, and many more.  The NWA World Championship has been held by many superstars including Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Jack Brisco, Dory Funk, Jr., Harley Race, Lou Thesz, Tommy Rich,  AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Raven and current 3 time champion, Adam Pearce

Timeline: The History of ECW with Sabu

????SABU’S WOUNDS, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL, BARED IN “TIMELINE ECW”

It is said of businesses and marriages…if it survives five years it’ll go on forever. ECW, in its original “Extreme” incarnation, lasted seven, had a groundbreaking effect on the wrestling business, changed how the majors presented their product, and amassed a die-hard army of fans.  . . . .  Then it was was gone.

Well, sure it hung aorund for a bit as an appendage of the WWE goliath. But everything that made ECW a significant entry in pro wrestling history. was gone after seven years. And in their new DVD series, “Timeline: The History of ECW,” producers Kayfabe Commentaries seek to pore over all the details for those years. The series is a spin-off of the critically acclaimed “Timeline: The History of WWE” which KC is also actively producing.
