Grimmas Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Eh, I'll get by. I figured I wouldn't have an ideal setup for what I wanted to do until at least three years in anyway, so I'm taking it as it comes. You have the Rougeaus (maybe) so you will be pretty set. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Now it's a run on blowjob babyfaces! Nice one Parv. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 About an 82% upgrade on Backlund. Quote
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 If The Freebirds don't go next I'll be shocked. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Forfeiting a 2nd and 3rd round pick is rough, though. Quote
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 You're getting at least 2 matches you can put at the top of your cards every night though. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 You're getting at least 2 matches you can put at the top of your cards every night though. Oh yeah, I can't imagine they get into the second round too. Lots of talent there. Quote
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Man I was sure KrisZ was gonna take The Freebirds. Quote
rainmakerrtv Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Butch Reed is such a sweet choice. Quote
El Boricua Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I was surprised to see the top two picks be tag teams, although I understand the reasoning behind them. Good picks so far, I suspected that Rick Martel was going to be Grimmas' pick. As for me, I had settled on Slaughter as my first choice before the draft started and hoped he would survive until my turn. Slaughter in Puerto Rico is going to be interesting. Quote
JHawk Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 While I'm sure I could have probably gotten Zbyszko in the second round, I want to build my company around a heel that everybody wants to see get his ass kicked. Zbyszko fits that bill between his stalling tactics and his loud mouth. Plus Bruno was a top draw in the WWA as a special attraction so the "I retired Bruno" schtick should be great for heat. Quote

I thought that was one of the best picks so far. I can't wait to read about Slaughter-Colon and him causing riots! JHawk stole Larry Z and now I am sad. I was considering a super team of Valentine & Larry. Quote

That's a sneaky good pick JHawk. Quote
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I don't really think you could have gotten Larry Z late in the 2nd round so if that is who you wanted to build around it was definitely smart to take him now. I don't think it's a bad 1st round pick at all really. Quote
Matt D Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not participating but I like watching how people are really thinking about their territory in their picks and not just who might be best statistically or whatever. Quote
KrisZ Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 It definitely helps to bring in guys who have a cache in your territory Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I am not sure, because value is relative. A guy who has cache in one area and not in another might be available cheaper later because the value is not as high to others as it is to you. I understand people playing it safe so far, but my thinking has been that someone like Ricky Steamboat is a great asset no matter the territory. You know he can get over anywhere. Some of the more regional picks I'm less sure about. Although I don't want to discuss "strategy" in public any further ¬_¬ Quote
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Yea but part of the appeal of using guys who have already been in the territory you are booking is that you get to use established history and not have an entirely blank slate. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Great Freebirds pick! I am pumped for the Freebirds-Flair feud! Quote
El Boricua Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Can he just take two of the three Freebirds? I thought it had to be all three. Quote

I'm going to be running video packages highlighting Steamboat and Youngblood vs. Kamata and Bulldog Brower at MSG (04/21/80) to hype Steamer's arrival. "Remeber THIS guy girls?! REMEMBER!" Ha ha.

goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Can he just take two of the three Freebirds? I thought it had to be all three. Yea we already decided you can take 1 member of a tag so I don't see an issue with taking 2 out of 3 Freebirds. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Can he just take two of the three Freebirds? I thought it had to be all three. If we can pick a singles from a team, why not two out of three? Quote
