I will take proxy picks from anyone who is worried about their time expiring while they are sleeping tonight. Likely candidates to experience this: JVK (I have his pick) JHawk, Boon (I will be drafting for Boon the rest of the way), dawho5, and Cross Face Chicken Wing Also, if you see Boon's name, Wahoos name or my name ahead of yours going into an overnight period: make a proxy or you'll wake up to being passed over as I am going to put picks in ASAP to keep the clock moving.

Jesse Ewiak - Time Expired at 11:34 PM EST JerryvonKramer - I have his proxy pick just in case Dylan Waco JHawk I will be up tonight to make proxy picks for anyone who is worried about their time expiring while they sleep. This is very likely to occur also because Dylan will probably make his pick as soon as I make the one for JVK and that would leave JHawk with time expiring at around 5 AM. So if you are JHawk, dawho5, or Cross Face Chicken Wing I can take your picks and put them in for you. Didn't mention Boon because I already have his list to finish out the whole rest of this draft.

No you said Hito and never said you were gonna go with Myers don't blame me. A decision is made in an instant not over hours. If it was a conspiracy to trick you out of Myers why would I ever say his name in the first place.

Sorry fell asleep. From Wahoos Leg's list Mr. Ebony (Tom Jones)

Tried to beat the drum on ol' Duke Myers to somebody last night. He is a good hand. Was very close to becoming Assassin #2 but Mike Davis had more upside after he loses the mask.

dkookypunk43 dkookypunk43 Wahoos Leg - I have his next pick and it will upset me to make it. TravJ1979

I have been authorized to select for Wahoos Leg Diamond Timothy Flowers

He IS a good promo and I did not know about him speaking Spanish. That would have upped his value for me actually but I wouldn't have been able to get to him before Jesse.

TravJ1979 - On the clock until 8:21 PM EST Wahoos Leg - via me or Grimmas dkookypunk43 dkookypunk43

I saw Buddy Rose have a very competent match with Frank Dusek once. I strongly suspected it was all Buddy. He is a pretty good authority figure in late 80s WCCW though.

Joe Blanchard would never concoct such a scheme and although it is now great trading partners with the AWA, if a certain popular balding blonde haired wrestler were to become upset at this 15% take Joe would have no choice but to inform said wrestler that Southwest Championship Wrestling wants it's roster to wrestle in Japan as much as possible and for as much money as they can make and would never take a cut.

Yes, we talked about their run as The Maoris there and if I could scrub it from my memory I would do so. Tio & Tapu were the guys who were working as savage Maoris yet wrestling their squash match wearing wrestling boots while one of the white bread babyface opponents was wrestling bare foot.

Jesse Ewiak - On the clock until 6:36 PM EST TravJ1979 - (If you think you won't be here at 6:30 to make your pick I can make it for you. Not like I can steal it from you) Wahoos Leg - Grimmas or I can make his pick for him via proxy list dkookypunk43

I want to like Tapu & Tio. I loved their gimmick in 1986 Continental as the New Guinea Headhunters and thought they were booked really well for that stint. But they are just so..I don't know the word for it. Lackluster. They just don't feel intense enough to play wild Samoans although to be fair that was not what their gimmick was ever supposed to be when they were, legitimately, the first Samoan brothers tag team.

I got Flyin Brian's pick via proxy last night but I still see him active as of 10 minutes ago so I will wait an hour or so just in case he changed his mind.

This is a great video about just how big of a deal Bob Armstrong's heel run and rivalry with the announcer Charlie Platt was. Anyone who enjoys heel Bob Armstrong should watch this. This is Charlie Platt explaining it.

Anybody up for some more youtube scouring for diamonds in the rough? I'm trying to scout non-Vancouver Canadian guys right now. As far as my booking style all that stuff was a lie. I am just looking at wrestling tropes and trying to see how I can jam in every single one of them as quickly as possible.

Essentially Flair had a real bee in his bonnet about Hogan never jobbing and wanted to beat him himself. He'd been nagging Sullivan about it for months and Hulk was starting to get unpopular with the boys for never putting anyone over. Sullivan felt he was stuck between a rock and a hard place and went to Barnett who suggested that he should put Arn over Hogan. Sullivan was like "are you nuts?" but Barnett knew that Hogan would go for it as a fuck you to Flair. And he did. Twice. Apparently the second week, Flair had been in Arn's ear all week saying how aHogan was probably going to win in twenty seconds this time, how he'd never job again etc., and so when thy did the DQ finish it swept the legs from under Flair's argument while also ensuring Hogan didn't have to job for Flair. Totally fucked up situation with egos everywhere. But that's how Arn got his two wins. The stuff about Hogan and savage is interesting too: that Hogan knew that Savage knew that he was fucking him while pretending to he wasn't. But savage knew that hogan knew that. The layers of politics and bullshit are off the charts in early 1996 WCW. I have only listened to a few of Sullivan's things but I wish he would just do a whole show telling Barnett stories. He told some really good ones during his interview on Jim Cornette's podcast. The one about Barnett calling him to convince him to make brand new to WCW Alex Wright his champion cracked me up, although not as good as this "Barnett outsmarts everyone" story which are my favorite Barnett stories.

Then why did you stop responding to my ideas once I got to where Sunshine is in July, 1984?

Someone told me to take Tanaka as a Saito partner. Too old for Texas brawling though.

Cross Face Chicken Wing - Time Has Expired (Proxy picks?) dawho5 - You can pick now Boon JHawk Dylan Waco

I know some people very much want to find a way to use Japanese talent on their shows so this would open the door for that. Joe Blanchard is too poor to afford the international flights though so I hadn't thought about how to get Giant Baba into Southwest to be Mr. Saito's partner in full costume as The Giant Ninja.

If you wanted to book shows based off those rosters, I see absolutely no reason you shouldn't be allowed to. It's not like they are doing anything in Japan now in the game except I guess following the exact results of real time history. I think it would be fun to add to the dynamic and allow you to chose the guys you bring on the tour like the New Japan (8/26 - 9/22) has 6 guys coming in from outside but instead of those 6 you got to choose who you wanted. I guess that part would be up to KrisZ or maybe people could vote on it.

Yes, you can make it out thru that terrible VQ. Seriously, heel Bob Armstrong is the best. If you are reading this, watch at least one of those videos.
