rainmakerrtv Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 By my calculations, we are going to run out of wrestlers by round 25 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 By my calculations, we are going to run out of wrestlers by round 25 anyway. We will but that's still another 8 days of drafting at the pace it's going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Stop picking doesn't make sense when guys you still want are on the list. The problem is waiting a day and a half to get somebody who every week will have "defeated" in front of his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I look at the draft as a test to see if people can stay dedicated to the project? Â We are the point of under card guys, in essence you could book out July now and have everything ready and just fill in the blanks with the guys you get. Â Trav if you only want 5 guys, give the list to goc and he will pick them for you when your name comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 If everyone sent the top 10 names that are left that they want in the order that they want them in to Grimmas or KrisZ then we could just go through the rest of the draft order and when it got to your turn then you would get whatever wrestler is closest to the top of your list. We may need to give more names after 2-3 rounds but it'd still be faster than what we are doing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Think anyone who taps out at this point was going to tap out at some point anyway. Â In many ways I see jobbers as being one of the most key units in my operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I can still write my shows with placeholders but I'd rather just figure out all my pieces before starting because there are still some guys that are more valuable than complete and total jobbers that are out there.

TravJ1979 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm no where near dropping out. I'm just saying this part is boring. Â I proposed the "send your list and we'll work it out through draft order" about a week ago and it got shut down. Â I'll deal with it. Didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings.

Â I think it would work better now though. I think there would be less conflicts in the list now that we're down to, for a lot of people, "who is your favorite jobber?" or "who was a jobber in your territory?"

KrisZ Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 There are also still guys on the board that could main event in the right spots as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I am cool (and always have been cool) with anybody that wants to sending in a list. Anybody that still wants to draft, please do. If you just want names picked off a list, you have that option too. Â I have sent a few picks into goc and will do again, if I am busy.

RocketCrypt Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 If you're bored then you can fill your time planning and writing shows. It's almost exclusively jobbers being drafted at this point, so it doesn't really affect booking plans as most will be filling the same role anyway.

goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ok, I still actually have valuable pieces so my question to the: "Well I'm only picking jobbers now anyway" people: Why not give someone a list for you so that you're not on the clock with everyone waiting for you to draft a guy you don't give a shit about anyway. Â When I've had to leave I've handed my picks off, KrisZ and Beast have both put in picks for me so I don't sit on the clock and make people wait even if I won't go over.

goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 And to JHawk thank you for saving me from the temptation of taking a guy I really do not like at all. I hated that match with him & Savage from the Memphis set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really enjoyed that match and enjoyed his jobber work as Jerry Allen a couple of years later. Â I'm just glad somebody else took El Bracero, as the one match I have on tape of his from 1975 isn't very good and he looked ancient then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Oh and also thanks for not taking Al Madril & Carl Fergie because Wahoos Leg's proxy list is now totally decimated and that was all I had left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 How's my average age doing now goc? Hahaha I didn't even see your response before my last post. Do you really want me to calculate it? I didn't start again after your double shot of Steele & Fuji because you'd clearly broken above the 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Right, but I have Steamboat and Ho could be like his uncle or something. Plus, some older fans might remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 He looks pretty shitty in his last run in All Star. I have seen some wrestlers who looked like they were on prison work release to come to that TV studio on Saturday mornings out work him by a mile on that show.
