PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 I had a though/suggestion. If we're not able to have tag teams count as one pick, then maybe we might need to have 40 picks. That's exactly how I want to do it. I'm currently piecing everything together and taking note of those who were interested last time but did not have a chance to get in on it. I want to keep it to twenty slots, though. I'll get back to you guys shortly.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 This is how everything stands should everybody listed accept. If there is somebody who should be here who is not, then please let me know. Private messages will be sent out to those who need to be made aware. The blue individuals expressed interest in the initial draft but did not make the cut. I think that they deserve a shot more than myself or anybody else, so they are first in line. The green individuals are "do-over" players who suggested we do this shit, so they also get a shot back in. Red are new people who want in. There is one spot left, and it is open to my discretion.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 So far I have confirmation from Canadian Chris, Jebus and King Cucaracha. I will give the other "blue guys" until noon tomorrow to RSVP. Green and red participants need not worry about getting in touch with me, unless they want to back out of the draft.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I believe Sivy wants to be in this too but he works nights and wouldn't have known this has come up again. I'll tell him to come confirm but I am 99.99% sure he'll want in.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Then I will hold his spot until I hear from him. As of now all slots are unofficially taken.
Brett Favre Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I say at the end we judge by a super card instead of storylines or what not. Just make one card, this card represents your brand, and thats it.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 100% agreed Brook. I don't think anyone would disagree. Roll on TSM Wrestler Draft 2!
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Yes. One card, one arena. I want everybody to run separate cities/territories as well. There are more than enough locations to go around, worldwide. Let's keep it that way.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Yes. One card, one arena. I want everybody to run separate cities/territories as well. There are more than enough locations to go around, worldwide. Let's keep it that way. Can we go ahead and pick managers and arena any time? For example, someone giving up Random Best Wrestler Ever as their first pick choosing to pick Random Greatest Arena Ever.
Brett Favre Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah I think managers should be like wrestlers. Use them any way you'd like. That's why I'd like singles all the way so it gives you more flexibility.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah I'd agree. I was leaning more towards the arena question though. I think it would be a neat idea to pick a single arena at any time whatsoever.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 I fully intend on sticking with these revisions: 1) Allowed only one selection at a time. No more tag team disputes. If you really want the British Bulldogs, then you can test your fate and hope that Davey Boy makes it back to you. Zoo got that one right when he hosted the rapper draft. 2) Managers, announcers, etc. would have been available from the start. This would have ended the "drafted Heenan as a wrestler but really for use as a manager" type controversy (don't remember if Heenan was specifically drafted for that purpose, but there were some managers who were taken under questionable circumstances). 3) Only one arena/city per person. I should have put my foot down. The initial idea called for separate home bases for everybody. I was so proud that I got my hands on the Rosemont Horizon, but it lost its shine when others had access to the United Center. Chicagoland was supposed to be mine! 4) Only one supercard. I also should have put my foot down on that one. Though some actually had it together enough to write a few weeks of TV leading up to their card, and they did it well, so it's not a heavy complaint, but with this exception comes the number of required venues. Also, I am going to have people establish their location in the first round, at the same time that they post their first round selection. Kahran sent me an RSVP, which just leaves three more people plus Sivy.
Brett Favre Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 One city per person is a pretty good idea.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 I need you to do something for me, Zoo.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Nothing I can't talk about in public. Just need you to: 1) Never change your avatar. 2) Post often so I can see it a lot.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Don't forget Mellow (or whatever your current name is when you read this) if you want any assistance with anything big or small, me being out of work currently means i'm always about. 1) Never change your avatar. +10
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 I figured that you, Zoo and Kamala are definitely my go-to guys here. I've got a couple of busy weekends coming up, but I also remember that this was easier than I thought it would be when I ran the first one. I'm working less now, so there you go. Much appreciated, by the way. Also, Sivy has sent me an RSVP. EDIT: So has 6foot9.
Maztinho Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I'd likely draft almost exactly the same as I did before, I'll give my spot up for someone else to play.
foleyfanforever88 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Personally I think all of this draft's participants should be new, but I won't complain if we have repeat players.
TheFranchise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Quiet Foley, I need this, it makes me happy!
Brett Favre Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I'm going to draft an entirely new fed. Most likely if I get a different draft position at least.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 mw679 has sent an RSVP. I mean what I said about your av, Zoo. I mean that shit.
King Cucaracha Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 This should be tough for me. Thinking it over, maybe 95% of wrestlers ever my reaction is "hmm, yeah, I'd be happy having him on my roster." So I've got to narrow it down from my wishlist of about 800. Which is a lot even with other people picking them off too.
tominator89 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I have a clear idea of what I want to do with my roster, but a few picks here or there could completely change my plans.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 So apparently you can't get into the wrestling draft if you have a job. Both times it was announced around noon on a weekday, and closed by the evening. Come on!

King Kamala Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I'm going completely different with my drafting philosophy for this draft. I went old-school because I figured few people would and I would reap the rewards but it was really hard to book shows with a ton of guys I was only kind of familiar with. My new roster will reflect more of my personal tastes, I think. So...who's going to start the new thread for this? Whoever it is, I ask you to subtitle it "Electric Boogaloo". That joke never grows old.
