Jebus

Was I the only one who couldn't get on the forums? I thought they were down since Monday morning! FUCK! Well, since it was apparently my turn twice (that's what Jingus PM'd me), I'll just go with: The Princess Bride This movie has everything: Comedy, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy and, most importantly, Andre The Giant. & Terminator 2: Judgment Day This movie still makes my jaw drop. Figured I'd take it now after "Aliens" brought Cameron into the social conciousness of this draft.

"Well then I know what I'M picking on my next turn." I think a lot of people know what you're picking next turn. The question is: Who's gonna get it first?

The pic is not of this particular match but the best I could find with it's two participants: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - WWE Championship - WWE Royal Rumble 2003 - January 19, 2003 Their styles complimented each other so well. Just a great match. So good that Benoit got a standing ovation after the bout.

Remember: If you miss your turn, you can still make your choice when you come back. And please PM!

I just knew Hart vs. Bulldog wasn't gonna come back to me.

I did that while I was at work and I was trying to do it as fast as possible. I actually figured as much. I just took it as an opportunity to post a reminder. I'm simply going with my favorites. But, since this is a draft, I'm obviously picking the the ones I'm worried will be taken early (i.e.: Pulp Fiction). I'm sure there will be less "classic cinema" as round after round passes.

Pretty much every woman I know is planning to see it this weekend. They're all in their mid to late 20's.

Reminder: a brief explanation of why you chose that movie is appreciated as it just makes the draft more interesting...even if it's just "It's awesome! Recognize, bitches!"

Curse you, Franchise! I suppose it would have been greedy of me to have both big Bret vs. Owen matches. Anyway, with my next pick, I choose: Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair - NWA World Title - WrestleWar 1989: Music City Showdown - May 7, 1989 You can't go wrong with the Flair/Steamboat 1989 trilogy.

Sadly, a little too late. If DraftMania doesn't wear out it's welcome, maybe I'll start another one after this one. Stay tuned, the TV show draft has got to be around the corner. *Hint: Somebody start the TV Draft!*

Okay, early low blow with Eternal Sunshine being gone. Shake it off, man! Anyway, while I recuperate, here's my pick: Pulp Fiction Why? Cause it's Pulp Fiction! Don't need to sell this one... One of my top 3 favorite movies of all-time (they interchange depending on my mood). Great dialogue. Great stories. Great characters.

Much hatred in your general direction, CG. Damn you and your similar taste to mine. Both those matches were in my next five possible drafts. Still got 3 but I'm hurting.

The order has been randomly drawn! THE DRAFT STARTS NOW! CanadianChris, you're up.

...and we got our 15 participants.

Going to the gym...be back in around an hour and a half. If you want in, now is the time cause when I come back...the draft starts!

DAMN IT! That one hurt. I'm talking about the pick not the pic. Okay, the pic too.

Workrate. Big time matches. Personal faves. You really can't go wrong though...It's your desert island.

Any recent fan who wants know which matches he might wanna seek out. Just check this thread.

With the 6th pick, I select: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. "The Rocket" Owen Hart - WWF WrestleMania X - March 20, 1994 My favorite match of all-time. My two favorite wrestlers of all-time. A beautifully executed in-ring classic. Combine that with an awesome storyline and a surprising (at the time) finish. YOU DID IT, OWEN! First time I ever cheered a heel, too. I just thought Owen was better. Bret's wrestling ability but in a younger, faster, high-flying, more charismatic package. I didn't wanna let my friends watching with me know that I was secretly rooting for Owen (I was 11...heels are bad!) but when he won I couldn't contain my "markout".

Just the movies. BTW, you're up in the Wrestling match draft, Ravenbomb.

That's what I figured as well. Let's see how smoothly this goes. If it drags (hopefully not), I'll cut it off before 20.

I vote YES for Hall & Nash as a tag team.

Patience grasshopper. I'll give peeps until 6:00PM Eastern Time to get in this thing OR until we reach the cut-off point of 20 participants. Then, I still have to randomly draw the order of the participants and THEN it's draft time! Please delete your pick for now, Les Yeux Sans Visage. Doesn't count.

About time! I've been wondering for days when they would finally show up. It's like a 2 for 1 special on wrestlers! Perfect for tag team and singles.

Alright, I'll be the one to start this. Draft Mania has invaded the Movie Board!!! Hooray for originality!!! Simple concept: Desert Island. Solar powered TV/DVD player. 20 movies of your choosing. Go! Rules: - Serpentine draft rules (I figure 20 rounds is enough) - 12 hour timetable to make your pick. If it expires, the next person on tap can make his selection. If you've missed your turn to pick, you may do it at any time once you come back. - Please PM the person who goes next and let them know it's their turn. Please include a pic (preferably a movie poster) and a brief explanation of why you chose that particular flick. In the end, TSMers can vote for who ended up with the best overall collection. So far, I can't think of anything that would be ineligible...okay, Porno. Other than that, it should all be good. Any questions or doubts regarding films, PM me.
