I think Boon and Peachchaos are the only ones left to make their save picks. Everyone make sure to review the wrestler list Kris was gracious enough to compile and make any final comments about who is missing, freelancers, etc.

Vancouver is the only territory left, right? We're not doing Maritmes (due to it being seasonal) and Hawaii (due to lack of info)?

Is Koko B Ware on the list somewhere? For WWC, I would drop Tempest, Tsurumi and Javier Cruz from the list. I think all of them were practically gone by this date and back in their home countries. I would add Isaac Rosario as a jobber.

There seems to be a list of about 4 freelancers that are up for debate on what we are going to do with them. The rest are available. The true freelancers (Bruiser Brody, Mil Mascaras, etc..) I think should be in the original draft, but are only available for the first month. After that the freelancers are up for a draft again? Something along those lines. Would that mean that they work exclusively for that territory for that month? I don't know if that's ideal, particularly if that month is one when they are in Japan. How are we handling the dates for the NWA champ? Maybe we can do something similar for the freelancers.

We should make a list of the people that are included with each territory in order to avoid confusion later.

And Ole. And then "well what about the sons of the owners?" I think we should have some kind of official agreement on what to do with owners who also wrestle. Does the AWA get to pull Verne out of retirement for a big show without ever having to use a draft pick or a save on him? There are several places where there was more than one owner. Let's just designate one person per territory as owner to keep it simple and leave it at that. I don't want to cause any issues, so we could just designate Jovica as the owner and I'll use my save on Carlos if it keeps everything going smoothly.

Not so much thay I want Colon + a save pick, but more that I don't want to use the pick on Carlos if he already comes with the territory.

Yeah, what I wanted to be clear on is if Carlos Colon is an owner.

He never won the big one did he! What? You had him retire Bruno Sammartino in the main event of the first Wrestlemania (with less than stellar fan reaction to it occurring). Doesn't get bigger than that.

Who is considered an owner in WWC for our purposes? I need to clear this up before making my save pick.

You weren't asked about that? In that case we should clear this up. You have been clear from the beginning that you wanted Southwest.

Good question. In some cases it doesn't make sense to leave someone hanging for six months. An example would be Butch coming back to team with Luke shortly after we start up. Doesn't really make sense to hold him back that long. Maybe draft those guys with a start date restriction if it's less than three months after start-up?

Quick question, besides the save pick, what are the other things that come with the territory?

I'd probably make Mil Mascaras a freelancer too. Stan Hansen I thought maybe, but it's more a case of Japan being his top priority and working a steady territory for a few months stay when not in Japan. Kris, you've got Johnny Rivera twice (under WWC and WWF as part of the Invaders).

Quick question, what's the rule on bringing in Mexican and Japanese wrestlers for one-shots or special shows? I ask since WWC would do this every now and then.

Hey dkooky, don't forget to chime in when you can. You're the one currently up in the air about the territory assigned.

Absolutely. It would be after you make your pick.

Under those rules, I'd rather have Toronto than Montreal.Me too. If somebody wants Montreal I will take Toronto without those advantages Just a suggestion since Toronto doesn't really have roster.

Just let whoever gets Toronto to make their save pick from the JCP roster.

Rocketcrypt is Florida.

Dylan answered Grimmas' PM to everyone who owed their choices with Portland as his top choice. I have no problems including ICW. That would likely leave Toronto to dkooky, which is actually an extension of sorts with JCP at the time and later WWF. Considering he had those two among his choices it's a good territory to get.

It is still technically alive for our purposes. The only other ones that are around I think are WWA, Hawaii, and Vancouver. Maritmes too but it's seasonal.

It's possible that someone who already made their choices could decide to go for a Japan territory if it's now an option. And Dylan's selection would probably shift some of the others. Nobody wants WWA? Are there any other territories left over?

In my case, my three choices would be WWC, ICW, and Florida. I was waiting to see if any one else had any interest at all in WWC in case I wanted to cede it to them. I like your style dedhemingway with your choice of Central States, I confess that's the territory i though you'd end up with when you said that you were open to any, but good to see you own it. However we end up doing freelancers I just hope that my access to Abdullah the Butcher is not restricted too much.

That's pretty much it.
