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.

Okay fellas here we go... Here are some simple rules to abide by 1988-1992 time frame. Pick an individual or team and put the year in which your are selecting them to give us an idea. No one can be picked twice obviously. We will not have a pool and go on the honor system. 35 rounds random snake order each set of two rounds. Added five more for announcers and managers. You don't need to use all 35 but it's there. Build you talent to have one major show in your chosen city. Talent from all over the world can be selected. Managers can be part of your pick Announcers and such can be part of your picks Tag teams must be tag teams or they'll be challenged and picks may have to be split. Tag teams drafted must be used as a tag team in your show Here are the participants... Low Blow - Houston, Texas USA Superkix - Tokyo, Japan dkookyPunk - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA Beast - New York, New York USA Blehschmidt Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA SmartMark15 - Chicago, Illinois USA Grimmas - The Moon Jetlag Hamburg, Germany Joeg El Boricua Gordi - Osaka, Japan SirEdgar - Montreal, Quebec Canada Lee Casebolt Elliot - Mexico City, Mexico Here are our 35 rounds of draft fun times Rounds 1 through 10 Rounds 11 through 20 Rounds 21 through 30 Rounds 31 through 35

You're in.

It won't be live but we can say that... Give time to strategize

Doesn't seem to be a lot of dissention here so I say we go 1988-1992 time frame. Pick an individual or team and put the year in which your are selecting them to give us an idea. No one can be picked twice obviously. We will not have a pool and go on the honor system. 35 rounds random snake order each set of two rounds. Added five more for announcers and managers. You don't need to use all 35 but it's there. Build you talent to have one major show in your chosen city. Talent from all over the world can be selected. Managers can be part of your pick Announcers and such can be part of your picks Tag teams must be tag teams or they'll be challenged and picks may have to be split. I'll get order put together here tonight and post it and we'll start tomorrow unless someone sees issue.

I'll go with Houston. Let's give it another day... Please sound off on the date range and draft pool discussion then we can get started.

I would say right now 88-92 is winning... this gives us a chance to maybe build to another draft down the line... please reply if you feel differently. I think the honor system is the easiest approach as we've got a great group to work within here... just be ready if you try to be sly that you will have a challenge. I haven't seen anything against adding in all regions into the draft... so at this point it is worldwide. I think a fun idea would be for each of us involved to think of a fun name for your promotion or to base your show out of a major city around the world. Kind of a way to give your show some flavor.

Waiting on people to reply before we get there. Right now it's December 1st but if we can hammer these two things out we can start quicker

Right now we're at 12. I say we go until the end of the week and then decide on 2 things. 1. Which years will we be doing 1988 to 1992 or 1988 to 1994 2. We need to decided if we need to make a pool or not. There are pros and cons to this... but if we use an honor system and the knowledge that a pick can be challenged (given the circumstance of a tag team). I think that is really our only hang up. If we are broadening everything out to North America, Japan, and Mexico, the list would be huge and I don't know how we could compile a legit list of talent from this wide of range in years to cover the sheer amount of workers who would be available. So please vote if on.. 1. The years 2. If we need a pool Thanks!

Ok I'll add him

Rick McGraw dies on November 1st... but hasn't been used in weeks so I am releasing him today for Blassie. Moving Steve Lombardi to a jobber pack with the Conquistadors and releasing Johnny Rivera who I believe is retiring soon. With my last spot there... officially picking up Ed Gantner

And Freddie Blassie to the WWF... I'll make moves in a couplw of minutes

Superstar Graham is picked up by the WWF as Rick McGraw has passed away

You guys are both in.

I like the idea of if you draft them as a team... It's same year for both and then you'd have to use them as a team in your show.

I love the honor system but see the merit in a list but damn that's gonna take a while unless we all chip in. I think the first thing to hammer out is our years... 88-92 Or 88-94 ???

Looks like I have this up to date and we're at 10 people. Do we want to cap at 15 for sake of making it something doable? In regards to the pool.... 1988 to 1994 is a very wide range... Do we want to go to 1988 to 1992 or keep it at 1988 to 1994? Also, in regards to the people available... is it too much to think that we don't need to have a set pool and just use our honor and book keeping when it comes to who is available to be picked? If we open it up to Japan and Mexico, aren't we looking at a pool of over 1,000 people over a 4 to 6 year period? I don't think I want to put together that kind of list. I also wanted to talk tag teams... so we know some of the famous tag teams but other teams... like the MegaPowers... it should be known you can't get Hogan and Savage together right? Then I think of teams like the Twin Towers and Skyscrapers... who I think are different. I view the Towers like two singles while the Skyscrapers would be a team. Same could be said for a Misawa/Kawada/Kobashi combo.

Took this to the fantasy sub board in terms of an actual draft. Hit that up for updates and such

Yes each wrestler can only be picked once. There's no 89 Flair and 91 Flair type stuff. If you wanted to make your promotion based off 92 ajw then yes. It's a massive roster of talent were looking at if we open Japan and Mexico. I wouldn't even know where to start to put the list together given the scope of our time frame
