Last pick is tough draw but really sets the tone for the rest especially with two in a row. I'm interested if people go outside of North America and who the top dogs are. A Japanese hybrid would be great. A Mexican all star roster. A ton of possibilities

I will create a database thread as well to not only update the master draft list but also start putting more rosters together so it will be a quicker reference. As a reminder we will enforce a 24-hour time. For a draft pick for the first 20 rounds or so and then cut it down at 12. If you need a proxy just send me your list

I agree with that sentiment

I think it is up to you... for me, I plan on making my roster, creating a post to hype a show and then writing it out. In terms of the next stage... the idea of a Keeper would be interesting... and then to add to it, maybe only one keeper and reverse order from this initial draft to begin the draft. The idea of 93-97 is very complexing to me in terms of the sheer amount of talent who could be top tier guys. I know 88-92 is glamorized but in my opinion, there are more top tier guys in that 93-97 draft than this one. The 88-92 has a ton of complimentary workers which gives it the edge of 93-97. We can do this draft and then outline some plans and ideas. The idea of 1 keeper is something I am interested in for sure.

I understand the idea of having a spreadsheet but honestly if we were to try and compile a list it would have thousands of names on it especially since we're going from all over the world and it would just be too much to try and grasp. I can give you some links to look at some people that were active at that time maybe look at the pwi lists or something like that as a reference I know that's what I did to make my big board that's got over 200 names on it already and that's just people that I'd like to draft not necessarily the thousands that are available to draft

I really like this pairing with Lutte. You guys have a lot of complimentary pieces for one another. Just enough of the same and different to be meaningful.

I agree to an extent.. Savage and Hogan are so much more than a tag team plus their tag encounters can be counted on one hand... perhaps that the is the equation behind it. If the team had more than 20 matches... that makes them a team?

https://www.gillmeister-software.com/online-tools/text/reverse-sort-list.aspx Thank you to whomever created that tool. Draft orders have been done... double check if you think I have made a mistake. Everything looked good to me but I am tired. Draft started Monday morning @ 8am. Keep up the fun conversation here if you'd like... I am sure everyone is keeping their cards close... I will go on record and say 1992 is a WEIRD year for lot of guys... some great youngsters starting while older guard fading... lots of fun people to look into and pick from.

From Madison Square Garden TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Tito Santana & Barry Windham vs the Fabulous Ones w/ Jimmy Hart -Gorilla and Lord Alfred are going on and on about how in the world The Fabulous Ones got a shot this quickly. Gorilla thinks that Jimmy Hart lined some pockets and maybe paid some people off. Lord Alfred wonders if it was Bobby Heenan who got the money because he should have gotten the rematch. Regardless, this is a very fun 18-minute contest with these guys going all over. Windham and Santana are flying with the Fabs who are selling well but also showing what their made of. Jimmy Hart is very motivated and animated outside of the ring. Around the 18-minute mark, we see a big tag to Windham who comes in with a house of fire and he is backing up the Fabs with some big time shots. Jimmy Hart gets up on the ring and he tries to swing with the Megaphone but he gets ROCKED by Barry Windham! Stan Lane from behind and he nails Windham who falls into the ropes. BAM! OUT OF NOWHERE!

They put over Gino Hernandez as a challenger for the IC title and how the Heenan Family is on the rise! Manny Fernandez vs The Missing Link w/ Mr. Fuji -A great showcase for both men. Many is getting great at selling and right now Link is really only good for looking menacing. He poses a little threat but nothing major. The fight goes outside of the ring and we end up with a fun little moment where Link runs and nails Fuji when Manny ducks and then grabs him for a Brainbuster outside the ring! Manny rolls back in for a 10-count and the crowd pops. This one is far from over as the war has just begun. Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Lars Vincent Barry Windham: Man it is like something was stolen from me.

WWF Presents: Wrestling Challenge Hosted By: Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby the Brain Heenan Matches from: Hershey, PA – Hersheypark Arena -A special edition of Challenge today with Gorilla and Bobby running down some of the shows from the Garden this past week. Bobby is gloating after Gorilla announces the first contest that they go in depth on… we cut to the ring.

Gorilla and Hayes are in shock. Windham is helped out of the ring… once again… busted wide open by Rick Rude here in MSG just as he was a month ago. -After the title change, we hear how Bobby Heenan sold the tag title rematch to Jimmy Hart after finding out that Chris Adams was going to injured for a longer period of time. He says that he is putting Adams out to pasture and that Gino Hernandez is going to be going solo from here on out and has a hope to get his hands back on the IC Title. Gorilla points out how Heenan has been getting money from Dibiase and now from Hart… he must be doing pretty well. The Fantastics vs the Sheepherders -A good 15-minute contest that goes all over the ringside area. We see fighting and brawling and even some flying here but when all's said and done it ends up being a double DQ. Jake Roberts vs Gino Hernandez w/ Bobby Heenan -The first of what Bobby Heenan calls Gino Hernandez’ revenge run for the title. He gets going here with a tough matchup against Jake Roberts and we see these guys battle each other pretty tough. Both men look really good though and the finish is controversial as Heenan does get involved. Roberts hits the running knee lift before prepping for the DDT but Heenan goes in and grabs his leg to serve long enough for Hernandez to come from behind with a big knee to the back and then a roll up with a handful of tights for the 3-count. Hernandez and Heenan work the crowd. This is beginning of something beautiful as Heenan says that Hernandez wants some gold!

I'll change it to Uranus when I've got time.

A lot of people have privately messaged me about this and wanted to know... Yes midgets are eligible for the draft. Also women are eligible if you would like to add them to your rosters for your show.

Put together an initial draft board to work from... I have over 200 names on there. Some teams I was thinking that may be troublesome for picks are like a Power and Glory. Yeah they had hype as a tag team but Hercules had a superior singles career before that tag team so they'd need to be separate. How about Tanaka and Kato? Are they a team or is it Tanaka and Diamond? All interesting little things to consider.

I think the best part about this is the range... A 1989 Hogan is a lot different than. 1992 Hogan. Hell even a 1988 Barry Windham is way different than a 1992 Windham. A lot of scenarios to think about in regards to drafting a year.

It's a blessing and a curse. You'll set the pace for the draft with that pick for sure.

Yeah you can pick cities now... I'll update the ones that have been selected

November 6th. I can always proxy for you if need be at that point.

24 hours is good with an immediate pick upon return. Maybe when we get to the 20th round we'll go to 12 to finish up. I was also thinking of a database thread to house everyone's rosters.

If anyone wants to help re-type the draft orders in reverse... let me know and we can tag team that bad boy or six man tag... eight man tag even...

Discuss all things with the draft right here.
