Given the girth of this thread, is it time for a reboot? Maybe one for WCW 89-01 and the other for JCP/MACW?

Still wrapping my head around the Memphis developmental promotion idea. They can't make St Louis work with the WWF only showing up once a week, and Florida is on it's ass....but somehow Bill Dundee and a plethora of green guys is going to make Jarrett and the Fullers quake?
Maybe if they transferred Jimmy Valiant down there as he was beginning to fade as a JCP star? Tommy Rich never worked for JCP while Dusty was around (maybe a few random shots in 84 when they were bringing in the Roadies, Freebirds, JYD, etc for guest shots?) so maybe JCP can offer Rich enough to work for their promotion?? Eddie Gilbert was always a wild card.
UWF was about to sink 5 months later and JCP couldn't make that work either, so what hope did this idea have?
Plus JCP had Florida (or would soon buy it out) and could only do business there when the JCP A team worked on top.
