Draft discussion, analysis and trash talk


Recommended Posts

I am actually going to set my alarm for 6:00 AM in case I fall asleep and dkookypunk didn't make his pick. Proxy use needs to be encouraged at round 13 you're unlikely to have a great steal that no one else has thought of. It's not like no one else THOUGHT of The Invaders.

I was just talking to Boricua about if he thought I could make their act work in Southwest. I couldn't figure it out.

 

If this was a draft in 86 I would have taken The Invaders myself two or three rounds ago if not sooner.

If it were 86 they would be in my top 5 picks. The same thing for Chicky Starr.

I contacted him over an hour ago to see if he wanted me to proxy for him and didn't hear back

There is honestly no one left where I would be crushed if I didn't get them. There absolutely is one person left I really want, but they are not totally essential to my promotion, and in fact they are going to be kind of hard to plug in.

 

And that person is certainly not the person you are interested in.

Looking harder, there's one guy I feel I need to add for continuity reasons, and another I should add just because I'm Central States. After that, everything is pretty much open, because I feel like I've built a solid upper-card, a solid tag division, and I have some prospective building blocks, particularly with regard to Tony Atlas and Brian Adias, for the future.

 

If I an grab those two guys, and maybe one or two more I have on my short list, I'll definitely feel like I aced the draft.

I loved getting my Eddie Gilbert pick in because I felt like it was right at the time someone else was going to take him. I loved getting Ken Lucas & El Gran Apollo, even if I didn't really think there was much competition, because I had plans for them from the very start.

 

My next pick I will be absolutely ecstatic to make and I had not even considered it until maybe 4 hours ago. None of my other ideas had as much box office potential as this one.

Also, I just want to say that, thus far, one of the best parts about this project have been the interactions I've had with the people I've made talent deals with, especially when they lead into ideas for little feuds and angles that I wouldn't have thought of. Just from the MHC tournament alone I've spun off three or four ideas with other promotions that are going to be really fun.

I'm pretty sure I've put together a loop for Central States, but if you guys could look it over and tell me if I'm missing something out, I'd appreciate it.

 

Monday - First/Third Monday - St. Louis, MO

Thursday - Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS

Friday - Lincoln, NE

Saturday - Des Moines, IA

 

Also, found my commentators and referees, I think. It's hard to piece things together from KayfabeCommentaries sometimes...

 

Announcers: Bill Kersten, Kevin Wall, Rick Stewart
Referees: Sonny Meyers and Bobby Whitlock

I still have 1 more piece to my puzzle that I have things written for but losing it would only slightly damper how much I am fucking in love with my roster right now. My last pick solved a ton of problems I was having.

I'm leaving for work in under an hour, so I left my pick with Matt D, goc and Grimmas. I have no cares who puts it in, just wanted to make sure it was somebody who was around within that 5 hour window and wouldn't hold things up needlessly.
