I went ahead and bought out UWA Hardcore Wrestling, a small promotion with only about 15 workers...most of them already fairly talented in some way, but everyone accepted a ticket to OVW so I have a lot of depth down there. I also signed almost the entire roster to 3-year written contracts to keep them from bailing to TNA, they were all very cheap, so if they don't pan out or want to come up too soon I can just cut them (would have had to pay them even if they were on Open deals).
Only guy I couldn't sign was Kazuchika Okada, a 19-year old Japanese cruiserweight who has commitments to Japan...but I'm going to keep him in OVW too, if he gets good enough to call up I wouldn't mind keeping him on an Open Contract because he's cheap.
