If you want a list of actual jobber jobbers left on the list PM me.

This was wide open to anyone. Got a list of about 20 certified TV jobbers from AWA, Canada, WCCW, WWF, JCP, lots of places. I was taking jobbers out of my list of possible draftees as I was going along.

Yeah, I had the Devil's Duo on my list too, just not high enough. I asked KrisZ if I could take them as a duo (HAH) too but they weren't together at this point.

 

As for scouting, just a lot of reading for me. All the info I could find on ICW through Wikipedia, Kayfabe Memories, Online World of Wrestlng, a few wrestling magazines and dirtsheets I could find online too.

We could get through the entire next round if the next 5-6 people make their picks fast enough. I have a LOT of people's picks towards the end & middle of Round 21 which means at the end of Round 21 when I have like 5-6 picks in a row I also have the first 5-6 picks of Round 22's snake.

 

So uh yea if you are RocketCrypt, Jesse Ewiak, peachchaos, Beast, or JerryvonKramer and you aren't sure if you'd be around in 5-6 hours to make a pick you might want to leave me your pick because we could be halfway into Round 22 in the morning. (We are at the end of 20 now)

Awesome! I thought you would go for Rocky Brewer, and without Spike Huber or Doug Vines I would pair him up with Jeff Sword as Garfunkle and Oates. Instead , you got Vinnie Valentino, and I have the even better idea of teaming them up as Oscar & Felix. My booking is pretty much writing itself at this point.

Vic Rossitani (Vic Rain) is an interesting guy, I could find nothing on youtube and the only thing I have of him on DVD is a few shows from 1984 of him in Southeastern. Seems like he was a real journeyman brawler but used a lot more kicks than punches which made him stand out to me in the ring. Really only had a squash match, a couple clips of arena footage and a few promos try and explain him and sell him to Boon though. KrisZ do you have anything on this guy?

Oh! I forgot to write about MY pick! Terry Adonis! That is a really ugly trashy motherfucker and HE is the guy I was talking about when I said there were guys who looked like they were going to the All Star tapings from prison work release and still out working ancient "Uncle of Ricky Steamboat" Dean Ho. Here he is with a chinlock on Dylan's latest pick of Moondog Moretti.

He was a old guy getting a rebirth as Vic Rain

I actually did a lot of reading research on all the Montreal names listed. Lefebvre and Brito seemed like guys I wouldn't have trouble getting at all given their low profile outside of Quebec, and they seemed like major players. Poisson was a guy who seemed pretty big in the 70s and still had some name value. Posson in the 1987 match I could find was really slow in his chain wrestling and could barely move, so I'm hoping he was a bit better in 83. Brito seemed like he could go and Lefebvre had a nice "mad dog" heel schtick to go with being a good brawler. I'm getting this from under 10 minute matches, mostly squashes that I found on youtube. How they would have handled a longer match is something I'm going to have to dig deeper on. Louis Laurence really liked his headlocks in the one match I found, but I imagine he wasn't used to 9+ minutes of wrestling. Luckily he won't be controlling much of a match as a JTTS/lower midcard guy for me. Eddie Creatchman is quite the annoying weaselly manager and goes as far as to wear the Star of David prominently in what I can only assume is an attempt to get more cheap heat.

I have a documentary about Montreal wrestling that is in French and in the English subtitles it explains Eddie Creachman's character as something like "Rich jew who owns a junkyard" so yea I guess he played that part up.
