1983 Rulebook

[TravJ1979]

if he does get to re-pick, which I am against, I think he should be forced to pick a tag team ... or a single and forfeit his turn the next round still.

[goc]

I don't think he should get to re-pick if they weren't teaming at the time, he should just get Robert with that pick in the 4th round and gets his 5th to do what he wants with. KrisZ already said it's ok though.

[El Boricua]

Aw man, Tonga was going to be my next pick!

[El Boricua]

I have a question similar to Grimmas' about Billy Red Lyons. In this case it's about Hugo Savinovich. At the time he was serving as the English language announcer in addition to managing, but was not the only announcer (the other being Joaquin Padin, hijo who was the Spanish language announcer). What would be his status with regards to the draft?

[KrisZ]

Hugo though was way more of a manager than announcer at that time.

[El Boricua]

Hugo though was way more of a manager than announcer at that time.

 

Thanks!

[goc]

What about Juan Reynosa who seemed to equally split duties between jobber & referee?

[KrisZ]

Juan Reynosa wrestled in many territories by this time so he is a wrestler

[goc]

Can someone draft "the rights" to Terry Funk or Gino Hernandez and agree to the stipulation that they can't come back until they actually came back in real life?

[Beast]

No, otherwise they probably would have been taken near the beginning.

 

At least with the injured guys they're back in a lot less than six months.

 

Funk comes back after a couple of six month drafts.

[goc]

I wouldn't have wanted to take a high draft pick on a guy that couldn't even be used for a full year. Now it's starting to be worth considering so I thought I'd toss it out. It's probably better to wait for future drafts though.

[JHawk]

No to the retired wrestlers. Terry Funk and Gino Hernandez wouldn't have made it out of the first round otherwise

[El Boricua]

With the posting of the Andre thread I just had a thought. Is Andre subject to Japan dates this year?

[KrisZ]

Oh definitely

[El Boricua]

I just saw Stampede announce Abdullah the Butcher for a show. Are we already doing the freelancer bookings?

[goc]

No not sure how that happened.

[peachchaos]

It says its a rumor...I hope to confirm at a later date.

[goc]

Oh it looks more like an "I really want this date and I called it first" idea than an announcement. Which I admire and respect. It is only a rumor.

[El Boricua]

We really should finalize how and where we are going to do freelancer bookings and NWA World champ dates.

[dedhemingway]

I'm looking to have Harley Race on the 4th.

[peachchaos]

I'd really like to use the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. It is held by Tiger Mask, who is injured and set to retire. Does anyone object?

 

I'd also like to forgo controlling the freelancers in lieu of handling bookings for New Japan talent on the select dates they are not working in Japan. Does anyone object?

[KrisZ]

The new NWA President will be able to set the tournament for that title

[goc]

Do I have use of Lou Thesz as "commissioner" like he was on Southwest TV at the time?

[KrisZ]

I don't think its a problem

[goc]

Thanks. Just needed to know what name to use when I do Southwest's version of "I called Stanley Blackburn!"
