LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Early picks reinforce my long-held belief that 1989 is the best year in wrestling history. I agree... not only are the ppvs fun, but I throughly enjoy the television... even the B shows are fun. Just an overall fantastic year of fandom.

elliott Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Honestly, if I had to put you in, I would have to rearrange every round... best I could do is make you the last pick in every round unless everyone wants me to re-do the draft order for each round? I could maybe throw you in the later rounds but again it is re-doing every rounds order that we've already put up. Oh well I don't want you to go to any extra trouble. I'll enjoy from the sidelines. Solar and Super Astro better end up on the Moon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be another as long as we can keep this rolling and if someone drops out or doesn't make the cut here with their picks, you'll be the first alternate to come in if you'd like.

El Boricua Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Aw man, somebody more focused on Mexico (with a show actually from Mexico) would have been great. One possible way of integrating Elliot is sticking him last in round 1, first in round 2, then for the remaining odd number rounds generate a random number between 1 and 14. You'd place him in that spot for that round, then place him in the equivalent spot for the event round snake order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I will put him in last and then behind me in each round... Easiest way I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I will put him in last and then behind me in each round... Easiest way I can do it. Awesome! So... Moon Quake, best first round pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I will put him in last and then behind me in each round... Easiest way I can do it. Awesome! So... Moon Quake, best first round pick? I think Motegi takes that particular cake... But I am pleased to see Big John go so high in the draft, and I love his new nickname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I have sent edgar a post... he will be on later this morning to get his in. Hopefully get through round 2 today, that's the goal. After round 1 do we pop down to 12 hours to make this more manageable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Boricua Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Really like how the picks are going, Grimmas showing the Tenta love is great. I really like Beast's pick, really great year that may have flown a bit under the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Luger in 89 ruled, so did 88 though... so hard choice. I threw realism away, fuck it, this is fun time. Time Travel, moon base, more sci fi sillyness to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Bleh is up. I knew Edgar's pick but didn't want to jump the gun on him. Let's try to get to round 3 today if possible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Was waiting for Bret to pick. Obviously he should had been my pick, but I'm going for something different here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Bret was number 4 on my big board... Lots of names left and lots of talent in the top tier available for this round yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks so much for adding me to the list! Definitely going to go Mexico City! Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm inordinately fond of Luger's 1989 so I was happy to grab him quick. Knew him and the rest of the NWA 1989 guys wouldn't stick around for long. Can be babyface or heel, but his mid-year Steamboat feud is easily my highlight of the year for NWA. So far I'm happy at the variety of choices, especially with the recent 1992 guys. This is going to be great. And we haven't really touched Japan or Mexico much yet.

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think that this draft brings up a fun point for those of us who are primarily WCW/WWF North American fans in this time period as to which promotion was better. I did a project on another board in which we voted on each year and which was better along with running down angles, matches, and workers. I think it would be a fun project to do down the line if the admin were interested as a way to have some debate for those of us who maybe didn't go out of the US to watch wrestling.

SirEdger Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 That can also make for a great learning experience. Around 1988-1992, WWF and WCW were pretty much my only exposure to wrestling. I barely knew about the AWA and some other territories like World Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I didn't even start watching until 1994 and then experienced this era through WWF Coliseum Videos and PPVs. Read about WCW and territories in the PWI Almanac and older issues I'd order from the back of current magazines. Didn't see any old WCW until Napster/Limewire and tape trading.
