WWA will take Jim Powers

Just caught this and we'll want to update it for the draft. The Jack Kruger listed in the draft is on the current WWA roster and Sheik Abdullah the Great and should be ineligible.

WWA selects Dan Spivey.

Everything looks good to me

1. WWA; full time member 2. I am on board with Ric Flair as the next World Heavyweight Champion. 3. 10 dates for the home promotion is fine, that gives 20 dates to split among the remaining members. I'm OK with treating those dates the same as the freelancers but would request one promotion not take more than 7 consecutive days to allow the champion to be split amongst the promotions. 4. Starrcade as the date of the title switch is fine with me

WWA selects Tony Garea

Jay Youngblood

Les Thornton

Sorry for missing my pick, guys. Still two days from the Internet getting hooked up at the new house. Hector Guerrero

Originally I had an agreement with Beast to deal the Guerreros for the Vachon starting in December, which is how the guerreros got the NWA World Tag Team Title. With Mid-Atlantic changing hands and this new draft, I decided to keep Chavo and Mando since they fit my style better anyway. With that said, I would propose having the NWA tag titles be controlled by the Board of Directors the same as the NWA World Champion. Title changes done by vote of NWA members, booking controlled by the NWA President with priority to the home promotion of the champions, etc. Also willing to listen to other suggestions

Gilbert was too versatile a worker even in 1984 not to jump on him at that point

WWA is going to select Jacques & Raymond Rougeau

WWA selects Eddie Gilbert

WWA will take the team of The Midnight Express of Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose, thus forfeiting their third round pick

Chris Adams

Will try to get the big show up later this week, then taking the rest of the year off to finalize the draft and plans for 1984 (hence the "best of 1983" specials which I'm not actually writing out.

24 hours is to account for everybody's different schedules. For example, I work 40 hours a week and referee most weekends. Trying to hammer it out in two days would leave me with probably just my 15 protected picks

Give me another 24 hours to sort through future plans and I'll get my protected list up. This no WiFi sucks and I can't wait for it to get installed next week

Just to keep everyone up to date, I'm still in but no WiFi at the new place for at least two weeks. Typing shows on my phone doesn't cut it
