goc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 Great facial hair. That's all I got on Scott Ferris.
El Boricua Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 Richard Charland is a absolutely fantastic pick for Montreal at this point in the draft.
goc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 I had no idea that Eric Embry actually did work Portland at one point.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 When did billy anderson go? Can't see it.
goc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 End of round 21. Come on man, use the first page of the draft thread and CTRL+F
JerryvonKramer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 Belive it or not I'm on an iPad in the bath! So WWA took both of my picks.
goc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 I know the two oldest guys left if you want those.
goc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 That's a shame, the 2 guys I have for you definitely aren't getting any younger as you wait.
goc Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Here comes the JVK post to tell us how dumb we were that we didn't draft Luke Graham yet.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 It made sense as a pick for me given his history and the fact I can tag him with Superstar Graham one of his many "brothers".
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 One thing I'll say about Bulldog Brower is that Greg Oliver puts him over huge in his book The Heels, and he appears on the front cover of that. He was all about the facial expressions from what I've seen. Steamboat and Youngblood got an enjoyable match out of him and Tor Kamata in early 1980 (*I think*), but Brower I think was never a great worker in terms of work, 100% character work guy.
goc Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 He does not factor heavily into my plans. He's not a believable love interest of Sunshine so his ceiling is quite low in Southwest Championship Wrestling.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 One thing I've come to appreciate over the past couple of years is how Vince Sr was able to run his promotion, and "super territory", for so long with such shitty rosters. I think he probably made more extensive use of jobbers than any other promotion, and had his workforce above that of aging and mostly no-longer-any-good JTTS guys (Baron, Denucci, etc.) with Johnny Rodz, Jose Estrada and the Riverias as sort of the "workrate" crew. If you think about it, his roster was pretty threadbare beyond the top handful of names at any given time (champ, ic champ, top heel, Garea's partner, heel tag team). I still think it is remarkable that he was able to sell out MSG and the Spectrum so many times running the shows he did. Master promoter.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Fuck dude, there's about 20 of them. I think I worked out before that Victor Riveria was the biggest actual star of them.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 You've got to love Kayfabe Memories sometimes: http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?threadid=44427
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Johnny Powers was a pretty big star in the 70s. I remember spending a night reading about him and the IWA. Interesting that he was more or less the rank bottom draft pick.
goc Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 He actually retired in 1982 but I don't really care.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 This is what he looked like in 1982. Not bad right? Apparently he came back in 1983 to work matches for charity or something. Weird figure in wrestling history really.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Anyone ever watched his matches with Inoki? He went back a long way with him.
KrisZ Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 He actually retired in 1982 but I don't really care. For somebody that retired in 1982 he sure worked quite a few matches after that
