PWO 1988 - 1992 Draft Discussion

[joeg]

Hypothetically, Can we draft talent that was inactive or part or all of the 4 years but wrestled before and after the the time period so like is Samantha eligible for example? Do we need to draft managers? For tag teams is there a minimum number of matches they had to have had together? Can we draft 6 man teams?

Surprised Rick Rude 92 only got picked now.

If they worked during the time... They're eligible.

 

50 matches for tag teams.

 

50 matches for six man as well then. You just give up your three picks to get them.

 

If you want a manager you have to draft them.

I think for three-man teams, it should be pretty clear that they were PRIMARILY a three-man team. So, maybe the Freebirds and Von Erichs and some of the famous Lucha trios teams where working together was kind of their main deal... but not, like, Misawa, Kawada, and Kobashi as a trio.

 

Even though Misawa & Kawada and Miasawa & Kobashi had a ton of matches as team-mates and won belts together and stuff, I felt like, looking at their careers, nobody would think of them as first and foremost tag wrestlers... So I considered trying to draft them as a team in the 3rd round, but rejected it as too "cheap" (Holy Demon Army might have been reasonable... But they don't team together as such until '93).

 

Hope that makes sense and seems fair.

[LowBlowPodcast]

And also remember if they are picked as a team or trio... they would be used that way in your "show."

Surely people want to use up three picks for the Desperadoes.

[Blehschmidt]

If Zeus Is still available in round 35, consider him mine.

According to CageMatch, Black Bart, Deadeye Dick & Dutch Mantel only had 8 matches together

 

The Moondogs on the other hand...

 

(Did you know that Deadeye Dick was Moondog Rex? I did not know that)

 

... and now I am wondering if the Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin & Brad Armstrong version of the Freebirds had more than 50 matches together.

50 days in the desert looking for Stan Hansen though!

[Blehschmidt]

My next 3 ideas in order were: Barry Windham, The Midnight Express, and Dusty Rhodes....

 

This already feels like my yearly fanstasy football frustrations!

[Grimmas]

I have two great picks here, so i am good whoever gets picked.

[El Boricua]

Surprised Rick Rude 92 only got picked now.

I was a bit surprised he was still there at the start of round 3. Let's see if we can make it to round 5 today.

[Grimmas]

Asking for a friend, but when TV dies in the future, how do you think wrestling would be presented? Holograms in your living room, theaters only, VR, etc... ?

[Lee Casebolt]

Really dedicated fans will have chips in their heads and wrestling will be uploaded directly into their brains.

[LowBlowPodcast]

I'm going to see Daddy's home 2 tonight so I will not be available to move draft. Whomever is up next after joeg, be ready.

 

Again I know we have time difference and such but if you know you won't have access for at least 12 hours send a proxy list to me or someone else to keep us moving along.

[Grimmas]

I'm ready to pick.

[Grimmas]

I'm ready to pick.

[Grimmas]

About to head home, it's 7 minutes before the 12 hours are up. I will do my pick after my transit.

[gordi]

Doom is a great choice.

[Beast]

I have to challenge the Inoki/Fujimami pick.

 

Looking at Cagematch, they have nowhere close to 50 tag matches in the allotted period (88-92). There's probably 50 pure 2 vs. 2 tag matches sprinkled from 1979-1989, but the vast majority are 3 on 3.

 

I feel like that kind of goes against the spirit of the tag team rule, but I'm not a big Japan guy so if everyone agrees that Inoki/Fujinami is legit, I don't have a problem.

 

Just looking for a little discussion.

I posted that exact thing on the draft thread. I think it is one or the other but not a team given the 50 match rule.

[joeg]

I asked with them specifically in mind. Give me Inoki....1988 version.

[elliott]

I'm traveling all day tomorrow and won't have access to the internet. But I gave Grimmas my next FIVE draft picks with the hope that folks start sending out proxy picks and we can build some momentum so we aren't drafting until Thanksgiving.

[gordi]

Thanks for being considerate, Elliott
