Flyin' Brian Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I always thought it was pronounced 'Rude' even when it was spelled differently but here it's Rudd like the race car driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I didn't care for that Vancouver announcer very much though. He was way too chipper and upbeat even when describing Adonis using the tag rope to choke Mr Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yeah, I think that's the weakness of having only a play-by-play guy. If you have a heel and/or face color guy there is quite a bit more to be done with announcing. Or even just a semi-heel guy who can live with some of the stuff heels do but only wants to see it go so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 The ref never had control of that one. I liked the pins being broken up but I don't know how I feel about all the blatant obvious interference. Fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Vancouver territory sucked pretty hard in the 80s You have to dig right in the shit with both hands if you're going to find the diamonds.

goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I feel like Southwest being an odd duck historically in the wrestling world is kind of a benefit to me. Part of this for me is role playing like I am actually taking over the booking duties of Southwest Championship Wrestling in July, 1983 and have an actual Joe Blanchard owner. This pretty much prevents me from joining up with the NWA so I have never factored a traveling World Champion concept into my plans and I can stay almost entirely isolated in booking except for needing to keep fresh Fabs opponents and the initial deals done to "write out" Southwest mainstays who are going elsewhere. Even joining the AWA was a bit of a fluke, I never planned to do it but needed access to Adnan. Joe did use the AWA World Champ some times so I was able to internally justify it.

dawho5 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Honestly being Montreal made my draft a lot easier. Getting big names there besides Bravo and Leduc was something I could put off in favor of guys I wanted to build that would disappear. I almost made it on Bravo or Leduc, but if all I missed out on was those two it was a pretty good draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I legitimately like watching Dino Bravo in Montreal matches and wish I had a whole bunch more of him and King Tonga either wrestling or teaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 People being active until right up until it's their turn is the story of this draft and really avoidable at this point. Send someone a PM and not only do you NOT get passed over you don't make everyone else wait 5 hours behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Someone tell me about Barrabas. It sounds like the name of a monster heel but I could be completely off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 How long are we waiting if we hit five people after an expiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think you give them 10 hours total and then you just keep going. There was no provision for stopping in the original 10 hour limit. I think we should do away with the 5 people rule anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Someone tell me about Barrabas. It sounds like the name of a monster heel but I could be completely off. I have to step out for a moment so cannot elaborate now, but I'm sure Dylan can provide detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 If Dylan doesn't provide one then I eagerly await your answer. It is a wrestling name I have seen a bunch and I really like the name itself but have no idea who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 OK so JHawk is on the clock now with time expired and 4 more hours to go until he hits the 10 hour time limit, and I would assume this thing just keeps on rolling. This is the order right now: goc, Cross Face Chicken Wing, dawho5, Boon. If anyone behind me in the order wants me to take their pick I will put it in for you overnight and you don't have to worry about time expiring while you are asleep. I will make my pick as soon as I get on the clock and that will restart it at 2:36 am EST. So Crossface if don't wanna stay up or get up to make your pick make you might want to use a proxy.

goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I would now like to continue watching wrestling with whoever wants to do that. I have 4 hours until my pick. You can pick the youtube video but I'd like to stay on the theme of "finding marginal wrestlers who haven't been drafted yet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 We watched some Vancouver All Star earlier, I am open to wherever though. Boricua is still mining Puerto Rico & Dylan has his eyes on some stuff there so maybe we'll find something to steal from them. Let's do this goc!
