Boon Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 So me and Low Blow were talking about roster size etc and I suggested maybe in the new year we look at reducing our roster size to 32 and putting in an 6-8 person slot for Jobbers. This way we wouldn't have to use up valuable roster spots on talent that are just going to lose week in week out? If we just Southeastern as an example, I'd remove the following 4 to be jobbers Tony Falk Josh Stroud Bill Howard Gene Ligon And then add 2-4 guys as "enhancement talent". So guys may have 8 jobbers on their roster and end up freeing up 8 spots to pick up new talent? Clearly this wouldn't work if people don't have Jobbers...

LowBlowPodcast Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I am on board with keeping the roster cap to 34 - but using 2 of those slots as almost "pack slots" to put jobber groups together. These would simply be 4 or 6 jobbers who will come in and do the job and then move on. I would keep them either weekly or monthly. Then for other roster spots, I could have my long term job guys and my gateway guys along with my regular roster. I think this can just be an option for some if they choose to use it.

Pwsony Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Whatever is decided is fine but I am will be using roster spots as jobbers anyway. 36 total for me will work out just fine but that is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I am sorry but I am confused. Are you saying that we would have jobber groups kind of like we have free lancers? A group would come to me for say a week and then move on to someone else and they would not count against your roster cap? And the cap would go from 36 to 34? I am fine with anything, just trying to understand it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Let's revisit this... so my proposal would be for our 35th and 36th spots to be "jobber pack" spots in which we would get three jobbers a piece for each of those sections. These Jobbers would be hired to come in for tv or live shows just for their purpose... to job. This way they don't take up too much space on the roster and you can designate two spots for 6 full time jobbers and if you have some guys who may be on the cusp of coming up, they can be in one of the other 1-34 spots. Long story short... Keep the cap at 36 for roster spots. Use the 35th and 36th spots for 3 man jobber packs as just talent who will be losing week in and week out. We can keep this going as we continue to do our +1 roster spots every couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 So 34 main card guys, and 6 jobbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 So 34 main card guys, and 6 jobbers? Essentially yes... You just have some cases where a guy may be a job guy but you always want him around (Dennis Stamp) so he takes up a roster spot if you want.

Boon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Are they protected? If so im happy for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think so. So if I were to go on the list and pick up one set of 3 (Ben Alexander, Bill Armstrong, & Brady Boone) My other set of 3 would be (Israel Matia, Raul Castro, and Frank Williams) Those two sets would essentially take Israel Matia and Raul Castro's "spots" on my 36 and count towards just jobbers.

Boon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Cool, so if everyone is happy, do we all nominate 2 wrestlers and do a jobber draft? Or just let everyone do it when they are free, as nothing is going to set the world alight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I know my list would be interchangeable month to month... so if this passes... I am going to go ahead and pick up 4 more jobbers to go with Israel and Castro for my cycles. I don't think it needs to be complex enough to draft.

Boon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I do think that although these are protected from others picking up and using as jobbers, if someone is wanting to use a jobber on there roster then they should be allowed to pick them up. Example Mid South has Tom Zenk in Jobber Section AWA wants to give him a Roster spot he can take him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 It would need to be arranged with the companies for something like that. I mean, if I have a guy as a jobber or on my list he's under contract to me. If someone wants him, then they contact me to get him type deal.

Playing devils avdocate, if they were a jobber would it matter? Or maybe a weeks notice period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 To devil your devil, why would a jobber be in such demand? If I have someone in my pack, if some one wants him, just ask. Easiest way to solve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHawk Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 This could work for me, actually, as I really don't want to use most of the guys I have as jobbers and this will help me save some bigger matches for my monthly specials.

kevinmcfl Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I believe that should be fine. We should be able to use spot 35 and 36 as either a jobber pack or a wrestler you wish to use in an angle and develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
