Gert T 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks for the pic of the North-South Co. And yes, the pick of Jesse made me decide to pick Adonis faster, although I had an interesting alternate in mind as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks for making my pick Brook. Good use of a 'Be Jealous'! too. I made a comment to him saying I felt bad taking Miz when there were so many big names available, and the fact I took him before someone took Verge Gagne says it all. But I just wanted to make sure I got the team together before I moved on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Gagne's a good pick. The shame is that he's remembered as the balding company owner 30 years into his professional career. In the 1950s he was a legitimately great junior heavyweight with a championship background in amateur wrestling. I could see that look getting over today.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Since Brooklyn made Kahran's pick, I guess that means that I am up. So Kensuke Sasaki is going to be one of my top heels, just going around destroying people left and right ala Vader or Brock. Unfortunately, he really can't speak English. So with my next pick I'm adding someone to bridge that gap. Combine Sasaki's physical violence with a mouthpiece who comes across as one of the biggest asshole/tool hybrids in wrestling history.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 LOL... not at all. I wasn't paying attention, saw Kahran posting a picture for someone's earlier pick and jumped the gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 I intend to use Gagne similar to Bret Hart in the mid 1990s. The straight man in a sea of wackiness. I've wanted him since the first pick when I got Minnesota as my home territory. He'll be my #2 face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 I'm back so no need to pick for me. Damn, Pedro Morales and Adrian Adonis going almost back to back hurt. Pedro was my top choice for my next pick. Ah well. Completely reworking my strategy as we speak. Hopefully, I pick someone good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 This is getting ridiculous. If you're not going to be around for a long period of time, PM someone your picks. We've made like 4 picks in the last 24 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 This is getting ridiculous. If you're not going to be around for a long period of time, PM someone your picks. We've made like 4 picks in the last 24 hours. A good portion of those were PMd too (thanks BTW), so it does work to speed things up. With the biggest names off the board there is less chance of getting sniped too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tominator89 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 So whose turn is it? From what I can tell, time's yours as of 8:09PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Let's run with it then. The way I see it, there are a ton of good wrestlers out there. There are few really good announcers though. And one of the best was THE voice of Mid South wrestling. With my 11th pick, I select Jim Ross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 I like that. I find that good announcing can make a poor or boring match (or show) watchable, but bad announcing can just tank it. A very underrated aspect of putting on a good product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Stupid slow going draft. It's been almost five days since I made a pick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tominator89 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 I think if you miss your 8 hour period without PM'ing your picks to someone then you should forfeit your pick for that round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 That's harsh for eight hours. Especially when that's the time for a normal work day or night of sleep. It's a reasonable time to be away. 16-24 hours, yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 That is a bit harsh...maybe if you miss more than one without PMing someone your picks. I just want this to go faster! Make it go faster, mellow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tominator89 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe after each pick we should PM the next 3 people to draft so they at least know to be ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sivy 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 since 8 hours are up. its my turn and my next pick is... Antonio Inoki He's going to be in my main event the japense legend vs the legend killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 "The Natural" Butch Reed Someone PM OOG. If I was Cucaracha, I'd be having a fit right about now. Nah, I didn't have Reed on my radar honestly. Simmons is going to be a singles babyface, since I've got Florida as a territory. Wait, someone picked Jack Swagger already? Holy shit. Talk about a guy who could have waited another... 20 rounds. Anyway, I PMed Mellow but I must have missed a message telling me not to. OR THERE WAS NO MESSAGE. Either way, no bitterness. Only peace and love. Except for Twisted Intestine. Go out and get laid or something, leave the rest of us to obsessively stalk each other to see where we're up to. Do it for us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Anyway, I'm going to make up my missed pick. I could do with a few cruiserweighty kind of wrestlers, even if I don't end up with a full division. And this guy's not going to last much longer. One of the best pound for pound wrestlers in the world, capable of playing it straight or being a valuable comedy act. So if I end up with my expected comedy midcard, he'll fit right in there too. Former ROH World Champion, WWE Cruiserweight Champion, probably some other stuff I've forgotten... JAMIE NOBLE boy!

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe someone can edit the subtitle of the thread with who's on the clock, on deck and in the shadows of the deck. Then when people check the folder they'll know who's in the ballpark of picking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 I approve of Mazto's idea. Seems like a solid solution to this problem of missing their picks. Also, I can make my pick at 12:26 P.M., correct (providing Tominator doesn't pick before then)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
