Initial Draft Discussion

[Grimmas]

On my part, I have a Climax tournament in late September and even if I have a Tag League event to close the ring, I'm considering using Climax to crown new tag team champions. I'll see but this is where I'm leaning towards right now.

Just wait and put the titles up at...

 

Super Grade Tag League V

October 15 - 30, 1995

[Lee Casebolt]

As an outside observer, I can't tell you how happy I am to see Williams and Regal in UWFi.

Oh yeah, I thought it was later than that during the year.

 

So yeah, the NJPW tag titles will be up during the Super Grade Tag League.

 

And I must say that I'm really intrigued by the Gangstas in WWF. But considering that they were at one point part of Smokey Mountain during that timeframe, it makes sense, given the WWF booking style at that time.

You're killing me, ADL!

[SirEdger]

Rick Martel in an old school environment can do wonders. Great pick by OVW!

[Grimmas]

Hopefully Martel is a babyface in OVW. What a great ace he would be at that time for a smaller promotion.

 

 

Yes, my tag champions are back. No unplanned tournaments for me! Now all I need is my FMW under card sleeze and everything is perfect!

[topropepodcast]

Finally a pick that really hurts. I had a really nice angle set up for Meng.

[LowBlowPodcast]

I'm sure we can set him up to come in off tours, we can talk about it

[topropepodcast]

Feel like my tag division now is a whole hell of a lot sturdier than it was 5 minutes ago.

 

I passed someone that I really didn't want to to make it happen, but I've got backups, worst case.

[elliott]

Meng/Haku was a darkhorse UWFI pick. Dang.

[elliott]

Barbarian too great picks!

[Grimmas]

Faces of Fear vs Holy Demon Army!

 

Good midcarders who can job to the bigger stars, but kill the undercard guys. Great picks.

 

By the way, RevPro has Ian Rotten, The Headhunters, and Louie Spicolli!!!!!!!!!!!! So awesome!

[LowBlowPodcast]

Yeah with them and Eddie and Hansen I have 4 of my 5 and the 5th pick hopefully will do well given the set up I have.

 

Plus Haku was over in Japan and a legit bad ads dude along with Barb so they will fit in great

[Grimmas]

I have only one non-Japanse person left. I can't imagine anyone would take him, but I have a big storyline planned with him and a huge feud to come. So, hopefully, nobody takes this man.

[Grimmas]

Camp Cornette is just Yokozuna, or am I missing someone on your roster?

[Jesse Ewiak]

The marks don't know that yet.

 

But yup. Just Yoko. With the early escape of the Hart's.

Never mind the wrestling... I wanna see the after-show parties!

[elliott]

Love the Mochizuki pick. He's another guy I had my eye on just in case. Awesome young worker considering he's a perfect fit for M-Pro and I could have used him in UWFi.

 

Damn that M-Pro roster is looking real nice.

Thanks. High praise indeed, coming from the UWFi booker. I can imagine UWFi, FMW, and M-Pro putting on a joint show at some point once things get rolling. It should burn the house down.

 

There were a few M-Pro matches in the mid to late 90s where they worked with BattleArts or FMW guys, and those are some of my favourite M-Pro multi-man tags. Mixing some "kick the crap out of each other" in with the "fly around the ring" works out pretty well.

[Grimmas]

This has been brought up before, but would going from 5-7 draftees from foreign countries be something people want? I think know that we are out of main eventers, that might be alright for the undercard?

[Scarlet-Left]

Yes, please!

[Grimmas]

If Derek agrees, then we'll do it, since it really only affects the three of us. Maybe UWFi as well.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Works for me. 7 total foreigners

[gordi]

That screws me over a little, since part of my draft strategy was waiting until my later picks to grab the leftover C and D level gaijin, knowing that the bigger promotions would focus on higher-level gaijin first and knowing there would be some leftovers once everyone had their five. If you guys can just grab up the C and D level guys now, it's a little unfair to me. I'll be running very low on options soon, since I'm aiming for an all-juniors roster.

[Scarlet-Left]

My situation is a little different, since I've used up three of my picks on Bret, Davey and Alex Wright. I'm going to need another joshi worker at some point, which will bring me up to the cap of five, with no room for any other foreign talent.
