PWO 1988 - 1992 Draft Discussion

[SirEdger]

Welp, there goes my chance at picking up Haku.

There are no islands on the moon.

What if a giant Moon Quake happens, tears the surface apart allowing the newly formed giant water areas the great Emperor installed to separate the land into islands? Ever think about that?

No.

 

Well.. maybe you have egg on your face now!

[Matt D]

Only because I'm curious what happens gravity-wise if you pick up the Ding Dongs.

Probably eaten by Andre on day one, so we never find out.

Is it too late to just to replicate Parv's 1991 WCW?

[Blehschmidt]

I've spent the last 2 hours at work plotting out the rest of my draft. Using Wikipedia for ideas and years, making sure no one had been taken. I had just finished compiling a list of picks, with alternates and numbered them in the order I would take them, and I was very proud of myself....

 

then LowBlow immediately snatches the guy I had at #1.......

[LowBlowPodcast]

Gang is one that surprised me still being on the block. He is a main event level dude around this time... plus he fits in with Houston so its a great match... although I'd love to swap him to Akeem since that's a better gimmick...

[Blehschmidt]

I was like...I need someone to fight Brody.....then I realized he was available and like I said, he was my next pick.

[Grimmas]

Damn I don't pick for a long while!

 

Happy with my draft, just wish I had more babyfaces.

[Lee Casebolt]

I didn't have Benoit on my list, but I did consider him on the "if I make him wrestle shoot style maybe I can save him from years of fictional head trauma" which is obviously ridiculous but still.

[Blehschmidt]

Gotta snatch up those babyfaces while they are available!

[LowBlowPodcast]

Round 11 starts now with a 6 hour time window. Should move us through more quickly. Please send proxy lists unless you're okay getting passed if you won't be around.

[Matt D]

Duggan is a guy who could have realistically gone four rounds ago.

[Blehschmidt]

Duggan was an absolute steal in Round 10

[gordi]

Card, as always, is subject to change, but as of now it looks like the top three matches on the first グリサン プロレス Supershow will be:

 

Main Event: Gli-San Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk vs Shinya Hashimoto

 

Gli-San Tag Team Champions Bam Bam Bam Bam (Gordy and Bigelow) vs Aces (Jumbo Tsuruta and Giant Baba)

 

Gli-San 6-Man Tag Team Champions MIsawa, Kobashi, and Kikuchi vs Doug Furnas, Dan Kroffat, and Owen Hart

I'd buy that for a dollar.

 

Spectacular start

[LowBlowPodcast]

Mixed up proxy lists... edited and corrected for Jetlag as he wanted Greg Valentine 1989

[gordi]

I kind of hope Lee Casebolt's first show features something like: Doc, The Steiners, and/or Shamrock taking turns just beating the living snot out of Koji Kitao.

 

I had an idea in the back of my mind that I would take Tenta and Kitao and have John just punch Kitao's ugly face in. Of course, Big John ended up going to the moon instead... hopefully somebody else will hand out the beating that racist and unprofessional jerk deserves.

[Lee Casebolt]

I'm matching up Kitao and Shamrock for two reasons - one, I can put the young, good looking American kid over the big, scary Japanese dude, and two, there's a small but measurable chance Kitao starts some shit and gets legit murdered in front of a live audience.

[gordi]

I am looking forward to reading that.

[Lee Casebolt]

I'd have to look at my list again, which I don't have at work, but I think the only matches I've solidified are the Doc/Takada main event title match and Shamrock/Kitao. I'd have a Steiners tag title match but someone took the Russians I was hoping for and I'm lining up replacements.

[gordi]

Doc/Takada main event title match

 

That is a great main event. I am all but certain they never had a singles match.

 

Looked on cage match. They faced off twice in tags. Akira Maeda & Nobuhiko Takada vs Rick Steiner & Steve Williams in NJPW in 87 looks like something I'd fantasy book.

[Matt D]

I've been in touch with him, but I have to admit Puerto Rico looks great. Boricua had the local advantage of sprinting out ahead and then grabbing his mainstays in the later rounds, getting Abdullah, Colon, and Chicky in 8, 9, 11. In the meantime, he scored Hogan, Windham, Rude, Hijo del Santo, Gilbert, Onita, Undertaker, and Guerrero. It was always a bit of Russian Roulette: Abdullah could have gone. Colon could have gone. Someone might really love Chicky, etc., but it completely paid off for him. He can have his cake and eat it too.

[superkix]

As of now, Vader/Maeda will headline and Liger/Fuchi is likely, as well as Hase/Fujiwara.

[SirEdger]

Thus far the two matches that are confirmed in Montreal are Bret Hart vs Rick Martel and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers vs The British Bulldogs.
