Given that the last person left in the draft has officially stated that they have taken everyone they want and nobody else seems to object, I will grab unsigned free agents Bill Cody and Gino Dellaserra.

Can I grab Bill Cody and Gino Dellaserra?

I am planning a big house show in Milwaukee for July 22nd including a tournament for the vacant AWA world tag team titles. I am looking for a visiting team willing to go to a shmoz Double DQ elimination in the first round. I am also looking for someone with a bit of name value but obviously not one of the top people in their territory who will have a clean loss in a technical match with one of my top babyfaces. Sorry for being so vague, I just don't want to give away my finishes in a public forum. I know I am asking a lot, but I will do what I can to pay it back. Please PM me if you can help out with either of these situations.

I will be posting the results the day after they "happen" and the TV shows on weekends.

Wasn't Leroy Redbone the voice of the snowman in Elf?

I'm glad that my part in the draft is done and I can finally get on with the business of fully planning out my cards and angles.

For those reasons, I am slightly surprised that Abe Jacobs hasn't been drafted. Maybe because he retires for good in 2 months.

That is a thought. Maybe I will have him reanimate the bones of Moose Cholak.

Hence the last pick.

Just noticing, for a promotion with only 1 Samoan and no Kevin Von Erich, we have a surprisingly high number of barefoot wrestlers.

As indicated by our draft pick post, the AWA is now officially retiring from the draft.

Wally Karbo steps up to the podium. "On behalf of the Verne Gagne and the American Wrestling Association, I would like to welcome to our roster the Great Malumba as our final pick of the 1983 draft." With that, Wally Karbo heads out for a celebratory meal of a small bowl of oatmeal and a glass of lukewarm water.

I went the cheap and easy route. EDIT : Let nobody say I am not a sport.

Was Jerry Bryant later in Memphis Vice? I guess I was just haunted by what happened to the poor guy.

At this point, I still don't have anyone in my organization I consider to be full on jobbers. Some people may be on the lowest rung, but everyone has a place other than "anonymous bowling pin to be knocked down".

I had no idea Rocky Brewer was also Mike Masters, I might have ranked him a little higher. Same guy from the Buddy Rose Army, right?

Didn't NFC 3 go in the last round? EDIT : Sorry, I was completely off ... I must be turning into Bill Dundee. "NORMAN, IS THAT YOU?"

Awesome! I thought you would go for Rocky Brewer, and without Spike Huber or Doug Vines I would pair him up with Jeff Sword as Garfunkle and Oates. Instead , you got Vinnie Valentino, and I have the even better idea of teaming them up as Oscar & Felix. My booking is pretty much writing itself at this point.

My fault, CFCW ... they had been teaming together before this, they teamed after, but I didn't know at this particular time they were in different territories. My research was incomplete.

That's the downside of doing a draft with this particular bunch. You think you have your own secret brilliant pick, then find that there are half a dozen people in the draft who have the exact same idea.

So what were they thinking? What good is half of the Devil's Duo? The Devil's Single just doesn't have the same ring.

I'm for it, it's what I would have tried.

Hey, first come , first served. There goes my idea of grabbing him and Jeff Sword.

For crying out loud, how did anyone else want Doug Vines?
