dkookypunk43 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Philadelphia for me Do we have a spreadsheet of the available names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Philadelphia for me Do we have a spreadsheet of the available names No, just anyone from 88-92, and pick what year you want them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Philadelphia for me Do we have a spreadsheet of the available names I understand the idea of having a spreadsheet but honestly if we were to try and compile a list it would have thousands of names on it especially since we're going from all over the world and it would just be too much to try and grasp. I can give you some links to look at some people that were active at that time maybe look at the pwi lists or something like that as a reference I know that's what I did to make my big board that's got over 200 names on it already and that's just people that I'd like to draft not necessarily the thousands that are available to draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a clear vision of what you want your card to look like, it's a ton easier than going over a spreadsheet and trying to remember who is who and what they were doing when.

Grimmas Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just wondering, the idea is he book a super card and can book the build up to it, eh? Like i can book 6 months of TV leading to this one super card? What might be a nice idea, is that we do the draft. Book whatever we want up to one super card, call that year one. Then do another draft with anyone new from 93-97 and anyone each promotion wants to drop and do the same thing with one super card for year 3, and so on. Just an idea.

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think it is up to you... for me, I plan on making my roster, creating a post to hype a show and then writing it out. In terms of the next stage... the idea of a Keeper would be interesting... and then to add to it, maybe only one keeper and reverse order from this initial draft to begin the draft. The idea of 93-97 is very complexing to me in terms of the sheer amount of talent who could be top tier guys. I know 88-92 is glamorized but in my opinion, there are more top tier guys in that 93-97 draft than this one. The 88-92 has a ton of complimentary workers which gives it the edge of 93-97. We can do this draft and then outline some plans and ideas. The idea of 1 keeper is something I am interested in for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 With less than 12 hours to go, hope everybody's having fun trying to finalize any potential draft board plan. I have a question. As I'm looking at the wrestlers I'm finding they're falling into three groups: those that I know what year version I want to use, those that I have no idea what year to use, and those that the year I'd use will depend on who else I draft. Do we have to commit to the year when we draft or do we have a window to change the year up to when the draft ends (after which all years are final and every wrestler must have a year assigned)? What do you guys feel would be best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I feel the year needs to be committed to when the drafting occurs. Drafting Randy Savage 1989 means Randy Savage is off the board for everyone else and it feels a little cheap to be able to say "I ended up with too many heels. I actually don't need "Macho King" anymore so I'm going to use the 1992 version of Savage". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Boricua Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Yeah, Beast's explanation makes me see that committing to the year is more fair for everyone. Alright then, see you guys at 8am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I will create a database thread as well to not only update the master draft list but also start putting more rosters together so it will be a quicker reference. As a reminder we will enforce a 24-hour time. For a draft pick for the first 20 rounds or so and then cut it down at 12. If you need a proxy just send me your list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartMark15 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Honestly not planning too much strategy for this. Since I'm the last pick for the first round, I'm going to wait to see who's left for me to claim and then let that dictate the tone of my roster.

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Last pick is tough draw but really sets the tone for the rest especially with two in a row. I'm interested if people go outside of North America and who the top dogs are. A Japanese hybrid would be great. A Mexican all star roster. A ton of possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordi Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Well... this is kinda bumming me out. I'd hoped everyone would be excited for the draft, we'd get off to a fast start. maybe bang out 3 or 4 rounds before bed-time (10 pm here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what happens and go from there. If someone misses 2 or 3 picks we can evaluate their participation. We'll get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Boricua Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Sorry for the delay, I was all set to draft then realized the clocks were set back an hour (so 8AM my time was now 7AM Eastern). And then while waiting for it to be 8 my battery ran out. Here's hoping we get at least two rounds in today. And man was it a tough decision who to pick.
