rainmakerrtv Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Setting up a separate thread so we can discuss and post reactions on the draft, keeping the draft thread exclusively for picks. So .... let's get the show on the road, shall we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Before the draft gets started, I am open to trades for my picks. The Rock n Roll Express could be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Pick has been made and the ball is rolling. Slept in till 8 today fellas...sorry for the tardiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 If one is going for a rookie, Steiner is an excellent pick. I think he definitely showed strong promise early on in his career, and is an excellent character to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 He has a look for sure and some skills. Â I looked back at the NCAA wrestling tournaments from this time and he and his brother didn't compete very well... Dr. Death though did some serious work.

SirEdger Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thus far, some logical choices through the board. Got a couple options myself so don't know exactly where I'll go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 That was the only guy I wanted. Everything else is just picking up the right guys for what i want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 EDIT: LowBlow just addressed this. Nothing to see here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Okay, I fucked up... Jeff Sword and Doug Vines were shipped from SMW to MACW for Saggs and Knobbs... they have now been added to the draft. Apologies guys.

SirEdger Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 GAAAAAH, rain, I hate you for picking Doug Furnas! Â All joking aside, pretty hopeful my master plan can come to fruition anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 At some point I had dropped Chris Colt for Hercules Ayala. Not that I imagine anyone is really picking Hercules Ayala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hey everybody! So far, a lot of good picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I dare say, I wasn't expecting the draft to move this quickly. I was figuring it would go for about 2 - 3 days. As it stands, we have a fair shot at it being completed tonight, or at least tomorrow morning. Clearly, moving it up one day was a good idea.

spaldoni Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh ok, yea St. Clair is my foreign good guy 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just a case of me putting off drafting somebody because I keep feeling he will be available next round , then they get picked right before I am finally going to grab them. There's always one. Â Overall, very happy with my draft, spent a lot (traded some pretty big ticket people and will have to cut more than I anticipated to make the roster cap) but managing to avoid buyer's remorse. Ron Simmons wound up being the big one that got away but truth to tell, I pegged Simmons, Vader and Pillman as my top three dream picks and I figured I would be most likely to get one of them, if that. (Very surprised to be able to land Pillman, so there is a plus). Had a fun angle planned to introduce a bunch of the top rookies and close to everyone I wanted for it ended up on my roster (again, with Pillman now a substitute for Simmons). Going to end up losing a bunch of Calgary guys, so was able to pick up a few to take their place. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I got two tag teams that had good runs in PR and the one native guy in the draft, TNT. I'm gonna call it a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yea I thought you scored well with Vader and can't wait to watch you build him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 And that's a wrap! Still plenty of solid guys going into Free Agency, which will allow for people to shift rosters around in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
