All-Time Wrestling Draft

[OmniSens]

@OmniSens has picked 2 people on day 1, then 3 on day 2.
AOP counts as two picks.

"sigh" Whatever

HH posts free agency rules more than once.

@OmniSens, a draft veteran:

Well one easy solution is to give him all 3 guys he picked today but he only gets a single FA pick tomorrow.

Cool. I'm getting up early tomorrow to nab Ellering. He's got to get Alexa Bliss ready for her HIAC match!

GSWilly - one of your picks knew zero wrestling holds and never should have been near a wrestling ring.....and the other one is a bear.

Totally agree, both are great picks.

 

[JackSlater]

I see OmniSens' picks as him taking a singles wrestler and then a tag team but losing one of his free agent picks tomorrow. Seems legitimate to me.

Cards are due ...I'm inclined to say May 8th. A week should give us a good amount of time to get your stuff together.

If that's agreeable for everyone, I'll set it in the rules thread.

I don't see why there would be a specific date at the moment when we don't know when free agency ends. It went over ten days last year and seems to end at a different time each draft. A day after free agency sounds more reasonable to me.

Then again, if we want to have May 7 as a sort of free for all day when people can pick as many wrestlers as they want then that also resolves any potential issues.

Also good to see The Rougeaus go. I figured that Terrible Ted was going to see his muzzle raised to the rafters and not see any action.

I second @OmniSens legally picking ellering, and actually- he has a pick to make up from yesterday.

 

[les Habs]

For the record I was kidding about Ellering. Never heard of 'im.

I'm fine with it especially since he didn't pick yesterday (not sure why because he posted about it).

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

JS is right in that there's no need for a firm date yet. I also like his idea of designating the last day of free agency as a free for all day.

OmniSens picked Lillian Garcia and Spike Dudley last night. Then picked Akam, Rezar and Ellering today. Where is his missed pick? I don't intend to be a rules stickler but the free agency rules have been posted several times and have been unchanged from years prior. If he wants, as a compromise, I can count Ellering as one of his picks for tomorrow if no one objects.

 

[BostonBob]

Terrible Ted

If that match happened today I could see senile old Vince having Superstar drop the WWWF title to Terrible Ted and then setting up the rematch as the main event of the next WrestleMania.

 

[OmniSens]

I'll let you guys hash it out

Missed the picks from yesterday. I agree then that it should be 2 per day no matter what.

When is the last day though? I think things could get messy if we have 3 days of FA and then a big free for all. I haven't decided exactly what I'm doing yet, but I have at least 5 more days of standard free agency picks minimum. After that pending my decision it could be more.

As of now there's only Kaner9, theedge9 and ColePens completely done I think. Maybe GKJ too. Usually once we get down to only 2 or 3 people still picking we start setting deadlines. The free for all would only effect those still picking to speed it along. Would avoid it being a mess by waiting for more and more to be done.
I doubt anyone's in a rush and I'll make sure rulings are fair and not screwing anyone over. You'll all have plenty of time to get cards in, don't worry.

Agreed. I like.

 

[Natey]

I've got 4 more wrestlers.

Not sure if I'll do announcers or not. Probably not. So 2-3 days max for me.

9 match card, 1 pre-show match for 10 total.

If my card was real, I'd be really shocked if ANY match didn't hit at least ***1/2-**** minimum. Ridiculous the value I got!

 

[JackSlater]

Alright this time I see an issue with OmniSens' picks. Through two free agency days he's picked six wrestlers.

He's picked 3 wrestlers.

 

[JackSlater]

He's picked 3 wrestlers.

He's picked six people.

Day 1
OmniSens: Spike Dudley & Lillian Garcia
Day 2
OmniSens: Rezar & Akam
Day 3
OmniSens: Paul Ellering

He's picked 5, but the 5th one went on today's Day 3. It's all good.

And Graves. Whoops. Not all good.

Graves the wrestler or commentator?

The Graves pick didn't count until 9am today, if nobody wants him thats his leftover pick for today.

@OmniSens no more picks til tomorrow 9am EST LOL

Sure, but people can't be picking single wrestlers/people and holding them on reserve until the window comes. Of course what you said at the end is the solution that puts us all on track in the end.

Also looking forward to seeing what else gets added to GongShowWilly's zoo.

Announcers don't really make sense to draft because ideally I visualize myself being in the crowd and taking in each card. So that's what I choose my pick on.

I generally take the same approach. I did take Joey Styles last year, but that was more so to add to the feel and fleshing out of my ECW card.

I mostly draft it from the standpoint of if you'll buy a ticket to see it live. But everyone's different.

Dude, you have picked like 5 wrestlers in 25 rounds!

Get educated, you swine.

And when in doubt you can just pick Ed "ring a ding dong dandy" Whalen on the last day of free agency.

I would hold a major PPV in Rio De Janeiro to crown a new World Heavy Weight Title, so announcer is important
