Jim Crockett Steps Up | EWR

[CanadianPuckHead]

1985 was a historic year in pro wrestling as Vince McMahon made a huge gamble for his WWF with the very first Wrestlemania which was a huge success and shined a big spotlight on WWF.

Which brings us to today, January 1986, with rumbles of Wrestlemania 2 starting to pick up steam, Jim Crockett has decided he is not going to allow Vince McMahon to just run away as the top of the business and has announced he is investing even more into NWA to stop Vince from taking over.

Crockett has announced the formation of some developmental training camps to train the future, as well as invested more to sure up the current NWA roster.

NWA has its 2 weekly programs, Power Hour an Early Evening show on Mondays, and WCW a Prime Time show on Saturdays.

As of now, NWA has 1 PPV scheduled for this year, Starrcade in December, and 4 Large Events in March, June, July & August.

Guidelines:
I am going to attempt to get better TV deals but leaving it up to the game
And plan to use NWA/WCW's real PPV schedule so they will slowly add over time not going to 12 right away.
