The ReDraft December 1983

[LowBlowPodcast]

 

Well, with Orton gone, there goes the first person I was super keen on. Probably won't be the last.

 

Our spy in the Minneapolis office told us we needed to move fast if we wanted him

 

 

Treachery is afoot...

[rainmakerrtv]

Fricking Al DaRusha .... stupid, Captain Kangaroo looking mofo can't keep his lip zipped.

[rainmakerrtv]

Arse ... one pick too late. That said, Windham is a great fit for MACW.

[rainmakerrtv]

At least this is the part where it's fairly obvious people going from my table. I mean, I really wanted Barry, but it makes sense that someone else would want to grab him. It's later on, with the goofy little ideas for wrestlers where I think, surely nobody else will want to take this person, and then somebody does , that's where the real swearing starts.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Ha... I am looking at my big board which went from 37 down to 27 through what we've done and I am hoping to figure a couple more pieces of the puzzle out. Still some HUGE sleepers out there to be picked up and the managers could be essential as well.

[Pwsony]

Damn Gene! didn't expext Ak to go so early.

[LowBlowPodcast]

We were discussing just how elusive of a manager he was. You could literally put ANYONE with him and he'd make it work.

[GeneJackson95]

Yeah I wanted to go ahead and lock down a good manager which would influence my picks moving forward.

[Pwsony]

sorry double post.

 

Ak can turn a jobber into a superstar.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Some really fantastic additions for rosters thus far. Everyone has gotten a little something that will make them better and for the new promotions, they are getting their hands on some real quality from the get go!

[Pwsony]

Jhawk my mouth was drooling for Gilbert!

[JHawk]

Gilbert was too versatile a worker even in 1984 not to jump on him at that point

[LowBlowPodcast]

Jhawk has built an amazing tag division from this. I'm interested how the French will do in St Louis. I thought about playing them off in New Orleans but couldn't figure out the best storyline to fit.

[rainmakerrtv]

Memphis looking to destroy what is left of my draft table Granted, I would have felt super guilty taking Dundee.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Haha... he is the SUPERSTAR! I have been watching him in the NWA with Landell... some fun untapped talent.

[dexstar]

Ahhhh I love Hercules Hernandez

[dexstar]

I went back and forth on Studd and Mulligan for ten minutes. Funny to see Studd go with the next pick

[kevinmcfl]

Sorry Rain!

[LowBlowPodcast]

I went back and forth on Studd and Mulligan for ten minutes. Funny to see Studd go with the next pick

 

It was one or the other... whomever didn't get picked was going next. Had them in that order so it works.

[rainmakerrtv]

No worries, kev, Dundee is one of those guys I would love to have but are a better fit somewhere else (and definitely a better fit for Memphis).

[rainmakerrtv]

Another round, a couple more people scratched from my table. Cool to see Stampede getting the Islanders a few years before the fact.

[LowBlowPodcast]

That's the nice thing about those two in a row picks... makes getting some of those separated teams together.

[Pwsony]

What I like about the Islanders is that they both have been faces and heels. I like the fact that a lot of my guys work both ways or have seen them work both heel and face.

 

Plus I loved the King Tonga and Dino Bravo Feud from Montreal.

[rainmakerrtv]

And hey, you can have them feud with the British Bulldogs if you want.

[rainmakerrtv]

Damned good pick for Mid Atlantic. I had Borne on my list but at this point I am drafting for specific slots, and his place hadn't come up yet.
