goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 You would have killed Tommy Rich off by bringing in The Fabs anyway Cornette as the first manager taken is a bit surprising. Curt Hennig in Stampede with Jerry Blackwell and Bret Hart is a pretty nice roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Very true, maybe I'll bring in Johnny Rich and Dave Haskins and have Southeastern version of the Von Erichs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 1983 Cornette was mainly selected for his ability to help create arena programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd mess with the Armstrong vs. Fullers, Hatfields vs. McCoys dynamic Johnny, Davey & Scott Armstrong as The Party Boys in 1988 is the worst pretty boy babyface group I've ever seen. Especially with Scott wearing his big Coke bottle glasses on TV all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well this was when he was working as Jimmy Hart's apprentice As a second round pick, he should get the Galaxians for free (not the wrestlers, just the gimmick.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest where do I stand with Ron Fuller is he my owner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I know at this point Cornette hadn't done much, but for the area, his character to me opened up a lot of storyline possibilities. He fit better to me as a manager in the area than anyone else I could get, even though there were better and more established managers available. He can fill in on commentary too. And never underestimate the importance of having nice looking programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Was at work all day and drafted from there. I'm not going to lie, I drafted Windham hoping that Blackwell would fall and I could grab him with my second pick. Already a wrinkle in my plans. From here on out I'm guessing I will have the most absurd draft on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I thought a lot about making Barry Windham my #1 babyface in Southwest and taking him with the 2nd pick. I had enough backup options that I felt better taking the #1 tag team I wanted instead. Barry in Portland against Buddy Rose should be interesting. To me Barry is basically an upgrade on Hennig who was there at the time, but with a wider range of possibilities because of his size.

Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Buddy and Barry is an amazing start to any roster. The race for Bobby Bass is on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Barry was on my shortlist if I'd gone face in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sullivan goes on and on about how Barry was the best possible babyface to build a company around in 1984. This is close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 To me it was him, or Magnum as my 2nd choice, if I was going to go with a singles babyface for my 1st round pick. They both seem somewhat premature in 1983 but there's only so many options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both seem somewhat premature in 1983 but there's only so many options. it's weird to think that because every territory had to have a #1 and #2 babyface basically. I know some were saved but there haven't really been any major surprises yet, guys who have a lot more value in 1983 then they do looking back in 2015.

JHawk Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Of my top 10 still on the board, I should be able to grab two of them since I have the first pick of round 3. If I can I'll be in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah, maybe a few hours than. Just take into account west coast and England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Maybe it would help if we knew what time zones we were in. I'm Atlantic, although with Daylight Savings Time that means it's currently the same time as Eastern (without DST I'd be one hour ahead of Eastern).

Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 My proposal is that between 10 am EST (7 AM Pacific, 3 PM London) and 9 PM EST (6 PM PST, 2 AM London) we go with a way shorter time limit, like 60-90 minutes and outside of that time we go with the ten hours.
