Draft discussion, analysis and trash talk

I have a bunch too. Solid undercard Canadian guys. -
Draft discussion, analysis and trash talk

I looked at Pardee but cut him off my list. -
We book in real time, so you wouldn't be doing the Dome until January. I think we are all trying to be realistic and follow the general make up of the promotion. Obviously there are some changes. Maple Leaf Wrestling only ran Maple Leaf Gardens every 3 weeks and that was it. I'm turning them into a TV taping real promotion, so there is room for change.

Important point. I have only 2-4 rounds left. How big of a roster do you need? Think about it.

Draft discussion, analysis and trash talk
Grimmas replied to Cross Face Chicken Wing's topic in The Archives
Amazing speed caught me off guard. I went to bed assuming there was no chance I would pick until this afternoon and wake up to see I was on the clock all night. I under estimated you guys.. I was doing as much poking and prodding as I could. Rick Patterson: He is tall. That's all I got. Come on.. part of the Hollywood Blonds and a future Leatherface II. What is not to love on the undercard. Also... I had just woke up. -

I can't believe Dylan took Rick Valentine right before I was going to. I was psyched that I found someone of that value this late... -
Maple Leaf Wrestling selects Rick Patterson.

Taker-Rey at RR2010 is one of my favourite big-little men matches of all-time.

Have value? Yes. Enjoyable? Yes. More fun? Yes. Better? Absolutely not. There is lots of things I love, not all of them are great or even good. -

So, I can say Good Charlotte is better than The Beatles and there is nothing wrong with that statement? It's my opinion, so it's all cool? Well...yes? I mean I personally would disagree with you, as I imagine a lot of people would. But that doesn't make either of us right or wrong. You're perfectly entitled to think that. You can think anything you want, doesn't make it right. There is no argument you can make for this being the case. You can enjoy Good Charlotte more all you want, but doesn't mean they are better. -

What possible point are you trying to reach? That Gigante is better at doing a shitty Gigante match than Flair is at doing a shitty Gigante match and that some how means you can argue Gigante is better than Flair? -
Thread for keeping track of draft picks and who is controlling who

He was a wrestler/announcer. Since Toronto has no other announcers and Lyons was old and shitty, then he is my announcer. -

This. It's all well and good to say all art is subjective and is in the eye of the beholder. However, going with that leads it possible to say El Gigante is a better wrestler than Ric Flair which is just plain wrong. Obviously it gets more difficult when discussing Jumbo vs Flair, but that doesn't mean there is not a correct answer. Where do you draw the line though? Where is the middle ground between Gigante and Flair where the argument for them goes from being "wrong" to merely "subjective opinion"? Who falls out of the realm of being able to be called objectively good? Who decides where that line is drawn? Is there a meeting? How do they decide? As insane as it sounds, someone having the opinion that Gigante is a great wrestler is not factually incorrect. It's not a question of facts. That's not to say it's a particularly credible or trustworthy or defensible opinion to have, but it's an opinion nonetheless. Can opinions ever be wrong? -
For now.. jumps happen later, promotions split up and form a new in the future.

Is wrestling an artform or a skill/craft. You can be really skilled at the craft of pro-wrestling (Randy Orton) but does that make you a great wrestler (because your matches are boring)?

Hmmm.... my wife just pointed out that we have to distinguish between craft and art. The Hendrix example may beak down because Hendrix is clearly better at the craft of playing guitar then me, but does that make him a better artist? I need to think more about this. -

Wouldn't we need an All Japan booker too and those two do a draft of talent, same as in North America?
