KrisZ Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 The one problem during regular hours is for those of us who have jobs that can't check regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm OK with whatever you guys want to do. Only time I don't check this while I'm sleeping EST. I pull my phone out fairly regularly at work so even that's not a problem. Maybe people should start using sending short lists to other participants who then can draft for them. Specific directions in case of surprise draft picks being taken off the board. I'm finding this extremely fun to check and I'm getting excited for what's to come.

Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 60-90 minutes is a little tight. 2-3 hours maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahoos Leg Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I already explained my situation, but I'll be as prompt as I can when it's my turn. I'm just excited to add Chris Adams. I mean, my promotion is based in BRITISH Columbia, after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawho5 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I work an 8 hour shift, sometimes 9. I'm either home at 3 or 4 CST. Once I'm home I'm keeping track so I don't slow it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have made a list of 30 guys who are still available that I consider to be "value" at this stage in the game. I will be interested to see how many are left after Round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah I've got a list of about 4-5 guys who would be acceptable to fill my next role I'm looking for. I don't imagine they all will be gone, but the long gap between my 2nd and 3rd picks is disheartening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have the perfect person to pick next, if they are still available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I could post some more Fidel Sierra gifs. He's a fake Destroyer, a fake Assassin, and a more than passable Cuban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm on PST, but I can pretty much check my phone whenever at work, so a shorter time isn't that big a deal. Am I the only one drafting 'on the fly'? I have specific roles I'm looking to fill, but I'm also going 'best available player' to fill the most important of those roles. I think it allows me to roll with the punches a little more. I know who I really want in the second round, but I'm not sure he'll be there, If he is, great, if not, I'll figure it out. Are the retired workers available to draft? For instance, if I draft Terry Funk, does he become available again when he started wrestling again IRL, or are we doing some random thing with him? He's very tempting to take the chance on, kinda like drafting the running back who tore his ACL his senior year of college in the fourth round, you know?

goc Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Time limit shouldn't be any shorter than 8 hours. Too many different time zones to settle on a "normal business hours" time range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I took a risk drafting Dundee there. He was not even on my radar as a pick, but when I saw him out there I couldn't pass on him. I think he sort of mastered the art of being a "regional" star and "studio" worker and in it's own way that is what Portland is about. Also his size won't be much of a hindrance in Portland like it would be elsewhere. I actually had someone who really figures into my plans who I passed on to get him. I'm holding out hope that person will be available in 11 picks. It's a risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHawk Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I hesitated with the Dory Funk Jr. pick as Funk is in his 40s and I want to go with a younger roster of talented people, but I also want someone who can wrestle with anybody and help put over the best of that young talent when it's time to get them to the next level. Plus in hindsight we know we can get almost another 30 years out of him if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketCrypt Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 These picks are getting worse and worse (in that I wanted most of the guys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Some really good picks today! JHawk picking up Dory in attempts to lure Terry when he comes out of retirement is genius. Boricua picking up Pedro makes complete sense for WWC. Dylan is building the best working roster in Buddy, Windham and Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 These picks are getting worse and worse (in that I wanted most of the guys). My next pick is either a reach or an amazing pick. I think he is perfect for what I want to do and my area, so let me judged soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boricua picking up Pedro makes complete sense for WWC. Dylan is building the best working roster in Buddy, Windham and Dundee. Yeah, I kept going over the wrestler list and though there are some better options (in a vacuum), Pedro was the best 'fit' for what I was looking for. I probably could have got him later but I wanted certainty for the top of my cards. And getting the most accomplished Puerto Rican wrestler makes sense for WWC.

And it was the title loss to Race in 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Parv's strategy of using Andre to bring in talent meant that he had the leeway to go for a manager early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 So yeah we are bringing the summit series to wrestling soon with Ivan Koloff coming to Maple Leaf Wrestling!!!
