I was thinking more along the lines of less than half a dozen workers working in the local scene, but each promotion still have their exclusive roster to work with at their own events when not cross-promoting.

Looking back I think I asked this question the wrong way. I'll come back some other day and rephrase it.
 
Morrison - Probably not.

Green - Not very good yet and still needs a lot of training. They can't do many moves that well, they don't know how to work a crowd, they have no psychology, they have some raw talent or a good look, but other than that they've got nothing and need a lot of coaching and training or experience.
 
I wanna go back to the discussion of cross promoting rosters. The promotion I'm with we have our exclusive roster but we have outer state guys from other promotions compete on our roster monthly. The same goes for my promotion's roster.
 
You wrote in one of your reviews that you're not a fan of Davey Richards. I want to read your thoughts on him and elaborate on every single one down to a tee -- at least three reasons. I find him to be very overrated based on a couple of matches I've seen (half a dozen, so I might be jumping the gun with my opinion).
 
In short, his style is bad. Everything is based around strikes and then grabbing the ankle lock at the end. There's no selling, there's no psychology, there's no story to his matches, I don't care at all about his whole "I never had a family" story, the last ten minutes of all of his big matches are as follows: Finisher, kick out, finisher, kick out, alternate finisher, finisher, kickout, 5 kicks, forearm exchange, finisher.

There is nothing at all that is anything but flash and no substance at all.
 
If a spot is any preplanned move or sequence of moves, does that make Steamboat/Savage at 'Mania a spotfest (as the entirety of the match was planned beforehand) and Randy Savage a spotmonkey?
 
The one that I've heard it interpreted as most often is someone that does a move then another then another then another and so on with no transition in the interim. Think of it a lot like the Cruiserweights (barring some classics like Eddie vs. Rey etc): they do a lot of flips and dives and spots that blow your mind and look awesome, but there's very little selling, almost no psychology and almost nothing but dives and punches and rollups a lot of the time. That's what I call a spot fest and spot monkies. Also you can be a monkey and change to a regular wrestler from match to match very easily.
 
If there was they better have been ready for more headaches than they knew what to do with. It had been done before though, albeit for a singles guy.

I just thought the idea of the Nation of Segregation was hilarious.

But who was the singles guy? I really can't see anything good coming from it. White guy dominates black guy, we're back in the 60s. Black guy overcomes racist white guy, a lot of people probably get pissed.
 
It was in the AWA and his name was Colonel DeBeers. he was from South Africa and actually refused to fight someone once because, and I quote, "THAT MAN IS NOT A CAUCASIAN!"
