TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2008 Since it's a no on LT I'll change both my picks (talked to mellow already): Jim Ross He's my play by play man. and Joel Gertner He's my heel color commentator. Althoguh the two of them will be biased slightly, it'll be more of a realistic commentary team with analysis that is somewhat evenhanded. And i'm keeping the United Centre as my arena pick.

Drury37 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2008 With my next pick I select... Sean Mooney. He will be one of my announcers. I was going to talk Jim Ross last round, but I got confused when I did not see that anyone had taken him, so I assumed that we were not taking announcers, oh well I will take Sean Mooney then, and if you do not like it then "Shut up Mooney!!!"

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Well if we're picking announcers that completely changes my game plan. And I can't believe Sean Mooney was picked second. I'm flubbergasted. Anyways, this next guy is a truly old school announcer. Unlike Gordon Solie who was, let's face it, very neutral and dry...this guy was very animated and could convey disgust at the promotion's when he needed to do. But he still gave professional wrestling a sense of legitmacy. This guy was as essential to Memphis Wrestling's success as Jerry Lawler. I'm going to use him as the lead announcer with the color commentator position filled by a rotation of managers and wrestlers. He's also one of the very few announcers who could carry a show solo. He was voted Best Television Announcer by the readers of The Wrestling Observer from 1984 to 1987 and is a member of the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame. My 33rd pick is none other than... ...Lance Russell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah, this new rule about taking announcers really throws a wrench in my plans, but there's really only one person that I want to take. Since our draft seems to be restructuring the old territories of wrestling history, my territory is angling to be a resurrection of the NWA or Jim Crockett Promotion. With that said, there's only one person that I would even consider for my announcing duties, and that man is the Dean of Wrestling Gordon Solie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Solie fit best with me. Fuck. I should take everyone's favorite, Tony Schiavone. THIS IS THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 909, Shea Stadium is already gone... Anyways, with my next selection in the draft, I'm going to go ahead and skip the announcer fad, so to speak, and get a GREAT tag-team that is still on the board. While they might not be the most successful version of this team, they were still the ORIGINAL version of this team and will fit in quite well with my rosters. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to select... RANDY ROSE AND "LOVERBOY" DENNIS CONDREY THE ORIGINAL MIDNIGHT EXPRESS My plan is to work them in a feud with Steve Keirn and a partner to be named later. As a result, I've got a great plan for Buddy Landel lined up as well. Now, for another venue, I'm going a little further west since my promotion will most likely be a Mid-South territory with bases in Tennessee, Louisiana, and now Texas. Yes, I'm taking probably the most famous Texas wrestling venue left. It hosted numerous supercards for World Class and other promotions. It will be a great compliment to the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis... REUNION ARENA DALLAS, TEXAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 I searched just for Predator, so this pick might be gone. He could work as a wildman Bruiser Brody knock off, because he's done a similar gimmick in the indies, he's also got a legit shooto background and I could use him as a pupil to Ed Lewis.

I added Fartsauce to MSN since it occured to me nobody else would have spoken to him about it, he's been very busy but is aware of the draft, he'll be on sooner than later to clarify himself.

Anyways, im back to work tonight till 9, then im going to go back and view the thread and try to do the best I can. Again, I apologize for the inconvienence. Good to see you back. You have ten make-up selections. The first seven have to be wrestlers. Rounds 30 through 40 can be wrestlers or non-wrestlers (managers, announcers [if you want to have them], etc.). Also, you need to declare a location (city, arena). If you have any further questions, then feel free to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 It's one thing to take Dawn Marie or Alfonso away from their past but not Beluah. Don't get me wrong, Dreamer's a complex character on his own but that's just not right. Some people here have been respectful towards others in regards to not taking certain people when they could've. I know I have but Belulah can get paired without Dreamer and be fine and on Broward's roster, he has a couple people that can fit with her. Should I have taken her in the 30th? Maybe but Heyman does alot more for me then Tommy's valet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
