goc Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Dylan I wish you had taken the Boon route to Portland and not fallen for the expansion trap. I suspect you would be happier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 The expansion idea isn't set in stone at all, though I think it is virtually impossible to run the Portland territory as it was constituted in 83 with 25 full time guys. You either expand or you have a huge glut problem or you have to completely change the way you do t.v. Having said that, there is really only one pick that I can honestly say was made solely with an eye toward expansion, and it's not as if that person can't be fit into a traditional Portland framework.

goc Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 You could have always limited yourself to what you felt was the appropriate amount of guys and then you could have taken them all so early you would have had like your perfect all star Portland roster. I suspect Boon won't go to 24 man roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 But then honestly I don't know what a "Portland guy" is. I haven't seen enough to "get it." I know what it means when someone says that a wrestler is a "Memphis guy" but not Portland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Guys I was strongly looking at were falling as early as round 2 and 3. The idea that I could have gotten my ideal roster by not picking one guy really doesn't conform to reality. In fact there was one individual pick that really forced my hand a bit, as I was hoping to pick one guy to set up a feud and ended up going with another that probably looked "un-Portlandlike" to some people. The funny thing is if you had told me at the beginning of this "you can pick any three Portland guys from the period of time where we have an abundance of Portland footage for the purposes of this project" it is very possible my choices would have been Rose, Starr and Colt. Only Wiskowski would compete with those three, but I honestly thought Ed would fall one round farther than he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketCrypt Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Maaan he is killing his draft. Killing the draft? It wasn't my pick until 3:15am my time and I passed on my picks beforehand to avoid a long delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 He has Atlanta ties he was drafted by the Falcons plus fits in good with my babyfaces I didnt realise that, looks a very logical pick then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Someone had great plans for him so that's a shame (Not that Kris won't do good stuff with him but the plans I heard were great). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 If anything Greg will benefit from being in a different promotion for once. I didn't want him, but good pick if you have plans for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I have some posters I'm less familiar with weirdly paired and mixed up for some reason. Rocket / peach dedhemingway / JHawk Maybe this will help me remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachchaos Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well I went for Rip Rogers bc his name wasn't crossed but he went 3 rounds ago then Parv commented that I picked my own guy which I didnt so I edited my post to say Bret Hart as a joke and now people think I'm picking Barry Horowitz.

Matt D Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think RocketCrypt should use this moment of chaos to bribe Kris so that he can pick Satanico and team him with Kevin Sullivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
