PWO 1988 - 1992 Draft Discussion

[Lee Casebolt]

I had Fujiwara 12th on my depth chart. What made me think he would last til r12?

[Grimmas]

I debated Volk Han and someone else, but decided on the other person. Hopefully they are still there.

How long have you been a WON subscriber?

With my next pick, I select El Hijo del Santo 1992.

With my next pick I select Eddie Gilbert 1990.

 

You know, I was going to leave guys like Invader I alone, but we're fighting now.

 

Excellent picks! Both of them! And the years too! I love Gilbert's 1990. And he's someone you can do absolutely anything with. Face, heel, serious, comedy, lower card, mid card, he can manage top acts etc. Eddie Gilbert is the poor man's Chicky Starr

[elliott]

Gordi landing Terry Gordy makes me smile.

Gordi landing Terry Gordy makes me smile.

Me, too

[Beast]

Thanks for the keeper reminder Beast... went with Stunning Steve to start that upper mid card

I just had the realization that that might inspire someone to take Austin off the board.

 

Oh well!

No lie though... he was on my list and I wanted someone ahead of him but when you posted that I had to take it in order to assure a Stone Cold keeper for the next draft down the line.

Hey, I gave you fair warning I was going to draft some lucha guys. Waited until round 4 even.

I made my case for you picking Gilbert earlier, but you ignored me.

[elliott]

1990 Gilbert was always on my radar. But after Lawler got picked, my focus shifted to Texans. I've got someone kinda similar in mind that I might be able to snag in the later rounds who fulfills my Texas requirement.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Rosters have been updated... still don't know if name value vs fit will win when it comes to a roster debate.

I can't tell if Gordi's roster is his depth chart or someone's GWE top 5. Holy shit.

[elliott]

I know my roster looked weird considering I'm doing a Mexico City show but who doesn't want to watch:

 

1990 El Dandy and 1992 Negro Casas vs 1988 Texas Outlaws

[Grimmas]

Ok, I missed somebody picking Andre right? No way I get him this late?

[Lee Casebolt]

Andre's still out there for you.

[Grimmas]

Andre's still out there for you.

Fuck yes!!!!

 

Doom/Aja Kong vs Moon Quake/Bull Nakano/Andre the Giant in the best match ever?

[Lee Casebolt]

The light gravity would make Andre mobile again. APPROVED!

[Beast]

Wow, so Grimmas is actually the kindest promoter of all time, taking Andre to the moon so he can walk without pain again.

[El Boricua]

The light gravity would make Andre mobile again. APPROVED!

That thought alone actually makes me happy Andre's on the moon.

[Matt D]

Good luck getting him there though.

[Lee Casebolt]

I think he's being time-and-space shifted by alien transport rays. Should be painless, if somewhat disorienting.

[elliott]

Good luck getting him there though.

 

Post of the year

[LowBlowPodcast]

There goes my proposed El gante vs Andre the Giant match

[gordi]

I was trying to convince LowBlow on pm that Japan would be the best landing place for Andre (because nostalgia goes a long way over here and fans would be inclined to overlook his decrepitude...)

 

...but even I have to admit that the moon wold be better.

 

Also, I am bummed that everyone no-sold my Terry Funk vs Shinya Hashimoto question back on page 11.
