dawho5 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I'm looking at an hour of TV, 1.5 to 2 on the big shows and house shows are around an hour and a half. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 If someone doesn't draft after getting lapped should we appoint someone to draft on their behalf after the 10 hour window is up? Quote
KrisZ Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Lapping until they show up is the way to go I think Quote
goc Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I think one of the bookers in waiting like rainmaker or LowBlowPodcast should do it. If Jesse has just lost interest they are the ones who will be taking that roster. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Guess I was wrong about a breakneck pace today. Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 How are we handling it when people don't want to draft any more picks? Just post that they are dropping out so we can skip them in the draft order? Quote
El Boricua Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Glad Jesse got his pick in, hope he didn't miss out on anyone. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 How are we handling it when people don't want to draft any more picks? Just post that they are dropping out so we can skip them in the draft order? Yes please, in the draft thread. This is my final pick statement Quote
El Boricua Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 How are we handling it when people don't want to draft any more picks? Just post that they are dropping out so we can skip them in the draft order? If anyone wants to stop after a certain point, they must post that they are dropping out of any more drafting. In those cases we would then continue the same order while skipping them. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I would really encourage everyone to try and make it at least two more rounds. I think there are enough people with at least some value left for each person to get at least two more picks with some utility. Quote

Â There are a few names I'm surprised have not been taken considering their name value in certain regions. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Totally agree. I'll grant the major stars left are older, but some of them could be main event players in the right places. Quote
goc Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I think I have one you are talking about in the queue Quote
dawho5 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I have one for sure in Quebec that is coming up after Memphis picks that was a big name in the early to mid 80s. The reason I took Goulet before him is because from my reading Goulet was a guy who could drag a good match out of anyone, was on the midcard level just about everywhere and had name value in Quebec. He can run matches, especially on house shows, with guys like LaFon and Tonga John, work with Armand Rougeau in tags to help him improve, etc. to help build up the future guys as far as skill goes. My next pick is sadly going to be a JTTS type who gets a few pins over midcard guys, does jobs for his semi-regular team with Lefebvre and leads the younger guys through matches. I've never seen him wrestle, but I hate taking a name guy and making him into that. I have ten guys I want to feature going forward plus Gino Brito, who was a really big name in Quebec and it's just not feasible to keep more than that hot. To even do that I am going to have to borrow in talent a lot so that those guys don't do too many jobs. Looking at it right now, the teams I want to be my #2 face and heel are #4 and #3 respectively. I have a good six months to a year of booking them to get them where I want them. Even Brito is going to end up falling victim to some jobs that he very likely would not have done during the later part of that. And what really sucks is that I get two and a half years to run with Lefebvre before he dies. After some of the planned feuds he is gonna be a contender regardless of his partner for the tag straps.

Â Yeah, I'm going for the foreseeable future, have to at least build up some jobbers. Quote
RocketCrypt Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 How much detail are people planning to put into their shows, both TV and house shows? Quote
dedhemingway Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 TV I'm going to do mostly recapped stuff, I don't have the time to do full blown written out matches and promos like I used to do for TEW diaries. Detailed, but not overly so. Â House shows I might just do a recap like 'Bob Orton Jr. DEF Local Jobber' type thing, highlight if anything important happened. Most of what I want to do will play out on TV, which is why I can have Bockwinkel gone a lot. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 How much detail are people planning to put into their shows, both TV and house shows? All out for big arena shows and TV, essentially just results for the two smaller house show loops. Quote
rainmakerrtv Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 If anyone wants to tap out of the draft, the AWA would be more than happy to take their picks. We are considerate that way Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I'm definitely planning on staying in until the end, was just curious how it would be handled. Â As for write ups, I was planning on being pretty detailed on tv as far as segments, matches I'll do a general play by play/ highlights. Non televised shows I'll recap angle driving events and match results, but that's about it. Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I've got a rough outline of the first year mapped out. You have no idea how excited I am for April 1984 to get here. Quote
Boon Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 For write ups I'm just not great at doing play by play for matches etc, angles will be indept and major happenings on weekly houses the same. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I think people are going to regret my participation in this almost immediately. Quote
