Initial Draft Discussion

[topropepodcast]

I had a few people I was considering, but went with someone versatile, whose mic work won't count against him and absolute worst case is the best possible Chris Candido in my lead stable,best case would be a consistent top of the card guy.

The shockwaves heard around the wrestling world... Owen Hart to ECW!

Owen really is the best case Candido.

 

Sooooooooooooooooooooo glad you didn't pick Sabu, by the way!

 

EDIT: Sabu was always my target and just the perfect fit to go with Hayabusa, Gladiator and Tanaka. Bring out the barbed wire folks!

Yesss! Hashimoto was always my target.

Money!

Depending on how the next few rounds go I may only run stadium shows

[SirEdger]

I got the feeling that many of us will have to change their drafting plans as we go along!

 

And this officially makes the NJPW Tag Team Championship vacant, since Hashimoto was holding the titles with Junji Hirata.

There's a TON of American talent for the upper level indies... WCW and WWF may get hurt by losing a substantial portion of their good mid-carders!

[Grimmas]

I screwed up and forgot first round was only tier A. I had to add an extra round in there for the full 12 promotions and then push everything around. Should be fine now.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Obviously this is way early but will the 10 hour cap go down after say round 5 or 6??

No. People need to sleep...

 

Although feel free to send your picks to someone who will be around.

[Grimmas]

Rock 'n' Rolls to SMW is the most obvious and awesome pick of the draft.

[Grimmas]

Added OVW to the bottom of the draft, except the few rounds I had to randomize again (I forgot RevPro did not save anybody, so needed to be on three more rounds).

Since I am after M-Pro and I am picking from the American list, and he can only pick from the USA or the USA/Japan list, could I go to get this moving.

Makes sense, no way he could steal your pick. Do it.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Good picks there by smw and uswa. Good pieces that fit their puzzles. Looking forward to mpro and their vision. Next round should tell some serious stories on how people are going to move forward.

My first choice is my first choice!

[LowBlowPodcast]

We have some time before another US indy would pick in case he wasn't big on PG 13 so I am sure if he didn't want them we could fix things.

He told me that was his pick, but didn't ok me to do the pick for him. Off chance his mind changed, we'll fix it. Great pick though!

[LowBlowPodcast]

Chico Santana with a big opportunity to do some work on the West Coast!

The idea that Tito is working a PWG style promotion tickles me to no end.

[Grimmas]

As discussed in the chat, if your pick is in the deck and your pick would not be someone that could possibly be picked by the person before, you might as well get your pick in to save time.

[SirEdger]

I was about to ask since I'm next after AJPW so good to know.

[Grimmas]

Man.. should had picked tenryu

[gordi]

Tenryu and Fujinami! What a start to the 3rd round!
