goc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Dang. Oh well. Pettipas was a "with my head" and not a "with my heart" pick and thus I am not all that upset to cross him off my list. I have never liked the "white guy playing Sheik" thing and thus had difficulty getting into him on my scouting report anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I needed another talented Canadian to be on my shows and I feared him going soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well I am still a way off from my round 11 pick but he most definitely could have been my #11 or #12 pick depending on who else gets drafted. He was high although I have less attachment to the name than I do for guys lower on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I might have picked Pettipas next. He is a steal in terms of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 What round should we drop the time limit to 5 hours? Round 13? EDIT: Maybe put a max of 5 picks ahead? So, if I missed my pick at number 10, then 11 can start picking and so on until number 16 then that person has to wait until I pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have the option of a proxy if you're worried you won't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachchaos Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Do the match databases like cagematch ever stay up for more than a day at a time? Is there a better resource out there? I want to know what Kazuo Sakurada was up to in 1983 since he didn't make the list (unless he's being called Kendo Nagaski). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I say we shorten the time after this round to 5 hours. If people's enjoyment of this project hinges on whether they'll be able to grab Cedric Hathaway in the 19th round, they're probably not going to last very long post-draft anyway.

goc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 If my El Gran Apollo experiment fails, can I talk Ricky Romero out of retirement? Cagematch has a match for him in 1981 and then a big gap until one last match in 1987 (that's probably not him anyway) I mean, he's only 51 at the time surely he would be likely to wrestle for a promotion with the class that Joe Blanchard's Southwest Championship Wrestling exhibits. http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=1579&page=4 Can a mod edit Cross Face's post please!? I need my sleepers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 As the draft slows down, I think we should finish up with the matter of the NWA World champ and freelancer dates, plus the NWA Board of Directors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's a good idea since no one wanted to play my game of "Obscure references that force people to look at the list of names left available" The answer was Israel Matia, btw.

goc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tomorrow I will draw the names for order of controlling freelancers. Will you hold the people who have neither confirmed or denied interest out of the drawing? You could just tack them on to the end afterwards if they opt in.

El Boricua Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tomorrow I will draw the names for order of controlling freelancers. Sounds good, it gives the people that haven't confirmed if they are in or out a deadline to confirm their status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get picked and then don't want to do it, we push everyone ahead a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will opt out soon then. I think it's quite likely that out of 19 people at least one of them has never even opened that Freelancers thread. I really don't want to call anyone out by name because I don't have an issue with them at all because they make their picks on time and have made good picks but they don't post a lot and don't really check PMs and there's really no reason to just assume he wants to control freelancers without getting a yes or no.

El Boricua Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 One thing about the freelancer bookings, how far in advance are you allowed to book the dates? It seems a bit much to ask for dates on a freelancer for November of 86 if you know the rotation of who will be in charge for that month.
