Does anyone realllllly want to book the sheik anyway? He is blackballed from Big Time due to his attempt at killing Detroit earlier this decade

Frankly I'd watch all of this except the Jarrett portion

Hogan as the real heel in his feuds has been around since I had AOL dialup and an onion tied to my belt in the mid-90s, haha. I think it'd almost be harder to find a feud where he was legitimately the face - probably Earthquake? Slaughter is a tough one to argue he's the heel. The Dungeon ... you'd have to figure out what the hell was going on in the first place to unpack that one. How about Shawn and Marty? Shawn didn't really "do" anything until he superkicked Marty if I recall correctly, and weeks before that, Marty rolled an unconscious Shawn in the ring to take the pinfall from Flair. Sid and Shawn after the WM 11 was weird too - HBK hired Sid to be a bodyguard, and his job was very obviously to interfere on his behalf, so he does, which doesn't even cost him the match, HBK berates him and fires him, and Sid attacks him. And is the heel? Even watching it all back it seems awkward.

Big Time uses their pick to retain the services of the Magic Man Paul Christy And with that, we're officially passing on any remaining rounds.

Are we gonna have 1984 Japan dates up sometime? Or am I just looking in the wrong place?

Canada's Greatest Athlete Iron Mike Sharpe is crossing the Ambassador Bridge and coming to BTW

Ding ding ding Social media kayfabe makes no sense. If they insist on, you need accounts for both. I'd rather they don't have social media kayfabe at all, but having a separation between "Roman Reigns" twitter and Joe Anoa'i twitter is better than the weird mix that happens now. Edit to expand because I hit enter too quick: If they want kayfabe twitter accounts and shit, that's ultimately fine but the characters they have right now simply don't have enough depth to sustain it, and neither do the stories. Nothing really happens and nobody really has anything more to their character than "I want title". You can't tweet all fucking week about tater tots.

After raiding AWA's draft board earlier I'm kinda glad I didn't go with one of my initial instincts and take the Ragin' Bull a bit ago, haha. Don't wanna piss off Verne too much.

I understand if people don't want to tip their hands regarding any draft strategy for whatever reason, but I just want to throw out there that I'm definitely done after Round 10 if there's no set end. At that point I'll just be re-arranging peripheral players by bringing in new folks.

Watching the 6:05 episodes, I didn't think Pez was exactly in the wrong for taking exception to that hillbilly Valiant calling him "the best black athlete".

Im kinda waiting on who is available, there's a couple weird names I am somewhat interested in and if they are gone I'm probably done. I had a board with a handful of different specific roles on it and have filled it, more or less.

I feel really clueless for not realizing Tonga John was the Barbarian

On the plus side, the AWA loop isn't a far drive from Detroit

Koko Ware to BTW

Dick Slater to BTW

Borne was very high on my list for this round, good pick.

Oh no worries. It's definitely a bit of a different setup.

Personally I like the idea of the touring champs being governed within the game rather than a meta, outside the game type organization. In the context of 1983/4 it makes it more fun to me see AWA/NWA/etc. ebb and flow a bit and gives an element of unpredictability. Maybe in this bold new future the AWA ends up being the main org while the NWA drifts apart, maybe Watts organizes outlying promotions into a touring UWF, etc. I'd like to explore that future, personally.

I went back and forth on Studd and Mulligan for ten minutes. Funny to see Studd go with the next pick

Ahhhh I love Hercules Hernandez

BTW adds Blackjack Mulligan

Big Time takes Bad News Allen
