HF All-Time Wrestling Draft X Discussion Thread

[HandsomeHollywood]

Any more thoughts on the timing of the free-for-all? I'm getting pretty close to done picking.

I'd be down for setting the free for all day for this Saturday.

Will be updating the draft thread. Still in the middle of adjusting to working over night now.

Works for me.

Love seeing Billy Red Lyons get his day

He's one of my earliest memories of watching pro wrestling doing the Event Center on WWF Saturday wrestling. I've been trying to find a way to use him the past two years and didn't see a fit but he fits my card this year so I'm glad to finally include him.

I am in a lot of pain right now after what happened last year. But all you people want to do is se what I have to say, right? That’s what you want, right? I’ll post… but this is JackSlater posting.

Lot of eyes on this thread, commissioner. Would be a shame if someone said something inappropriate.

I wouldn’t want to embarrass you, man. Speaking of embarrassing, you’ve been DMing me to hash things out for quite some time haven’t you? Well guess what? Too little, too late.

Here’s why – when this draft first started, it was all friends drafting. Everybody was handed a vote, except for me, see, I had to write my own. And boy do I have good typing because I’ve created moment after moment after moment in this draft and I still get no respect.

Nobody is on my level. No one. Everything I draft turns to gold. There is nothing I can’t do.

Every year I come out here, I am not expected to hit home runs, I’m expected to hit grand f***ing slams, and I do that shit on a yearly basis!

See all the other GMs have to settle for being good - I have to be perfect because I’m the only one who is constantly held under a microscope, because I’m the only guy who is capable of carrying this draft on my back, as I have, for years! The only one who can provide the ideas you’ll all over when you reuse them years later.

It’s funny that I can already hear the furious typing of rebuttals but I see those likes rolling in too. That’s interesting. That’s interesting. Where were you guys last year when you voted the wrong way because you’re illiterate and, frankly, stupid? I’m just curious.

You see the GMs in the back all want my spot so guess what? You want my spot? You can have it because I don’t want to be here anymore.

Now let’s talk about you voters huh? You people call yours voters? You’re not voters, you’re uneducated marks. You sit there on your phones, posting your opinions like they’re worth a damn, let me explain something to you people: you don’t know shit.

Your opinions suck, your opinions change at the drop of a dime and then you pretend that your new opinions match you old opinions, for example: ‘Man, it’s great that JackSlater has great wrestlers in every match with an angle for everyone!’ Really? That’s interesting. Because last time I checked you guys pretended I sucked for a long time and why is that huh? Because actually know how wrestling works, unlike your boys? Because I don’t pretend to watch every indy in California and Japan or pick garbage wrestlers? Because I don’t dump a card as lazily as possible with no variety or heat? Because I put thought into styles matching? Because I don’t pick a free agent at the first possible moment? What is it? Because I’m not chasing star rating guys? What is it?

How could I possibly be the best? Well news flash – I am the best! I’m the best in the world! Because I’m the only guy who gives you new shit that is good and unlike all those other GMs, I don’t have to trawl through reddit to see what’s hot right now.

I am a generational talent and you people consistently take me for granted but it’s not just you. It’s the big man in the back too.

Here’s something you guys can’t take for granted, here’s something he doesn’t want you to know. Do you guys know whose matchup threads get the most views? Nope, you wish. It’s me. It’s me. And if you don’t believe me, ask GM boy in the back and see what he’s got to say but whatever you do don’t ask him to vote for the guy who’s been carrying the draft since day one! No, no, no, no, make sure he hoards all those votes. Make sure he hoards all those votes so he can vote for all the repetitive, mindless shit for yet another year!

Hey commissioner, would you treat me better if I were matching up generic indy darling vs generic indy darling like everyone else? What about old timer no one actually watches vs old timer no one actually watches? See maybe you don’t get it man, here’s the problem with you commissioner: you got a position of power in a wrestling draft, when the only position that you should be assuming is behind your computer screen looking up all the good wrestlers you only pretend to have heard of.

I don’t want to wait until 2024, but you won’t listen to me so allow me to make it a little easier for you: Commissioner, I want you to ban me. Don’t cry to mods to get my post taken down! You piece of shit! Flag it for your ass!

HandsomeHollywood, look at me – I want you to ban me. You f***ing mark, ban me! Ban me! Ban me!

Well now, this just makes me eeeeeeellll having to read the garbage being spewed by one, JackSlater. Lemme tell ya somethin' about HandsomeHollywood. I've seen this kid's cards ever since his first draft in 2017. And I've watched him fight for EVERYTHING HE'S GOT. And now some punk JackSlater takes it upon himself to take away a little piece of GLORY from HandsomeHollywood. That ain't gonna go UNTOUCHED. THAT AIN'T GONNA GO...Unpunished.

HandsomeHollywood has never, ever done anything wrong to tarnish the name of the HF All-Time Wrestling Draft. If you have doc-a-ments, if you have pho-tos, if you have clooos and eva-dance if you wheel...to say that HandsomeHollywood, the HFboards Dream has ever stepped over the bounds, then JS baby, prove it. And if you want the HFboards draft championship, baby you gotta go get it.

JackSlater, you come out here knockin' my public. You mock the way @branimal84 looks, the way @les Habs is...well JACKSLATER, HandsomeHollywood has been in the dens of lions. It's a privilege to go into battle with @GKJ, @Burkiemaniq and @BruinDust because you know what? When you knock them, you knockin' HH. JackSlater!

In these coming days we may see the tough guy JackSlater meet the sooper powahs of the draft, the warriors in the streets, if you wheeeeeeeel, on HF boards. Somewhere between here and then some dues needin' to get paid. HandsomeHollywood is a LEGEND, Chris Cutter taught him the Cutter Lock. And yes, JackSlater. It will be your downfall. It will be your end. Because you are talkin' to Dusty Rhodes, the man who takes money out your pocket on baking day because you ain't be there. And HandsomeHollywood is the man who makes you FEEL BAD IN THE MORNIN'. JackSlater you can't call yourself the legend until you beat HandsomeHollywood, baby.

And that's the bottom line! And the other bottom line is HH is ONE-TIME HF All-Time Wrestling Draft Champion! And that's the bottom line. And another bottom line, HandsomeHollywood is the current BULL of the woods, if you wheel, and that makes HH the BADDEST of 'em all. Tota destruction is what's gonna happen. And if ya don't believe it, you better be comin' like it ain't for the weak of heart. JackSlater, let's get funky like a monkey BAYBAY!

 

[BruinDust]

I'm down to two picks left to finalize my card so whether we do a free-for-all tomorrow or continue drafting I'll leave it to the rest of the GMs to figure out. I'm aiming to have my card submitted by the end of Sunday at the latest.

 

[Megahab]

I may want just a few more people but I'm okay with picking them up in the free-for-all.

 

[JackSlater]

I still have a lot left to select. Mostly crap, but with chgoalie picking crap flies off the board at alarming rates. I figured that it was already decided that it was a free for all tomorrow.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Free Agency Frenzy will commence today the same as a regular free agent day. 12 noon. First come, first serve. As many guys as you want/need.

Bummed I missed out on Al Hayes.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

And that's a wrap.

I'm open to suggestions on a deadline for cards.

I have a lot to type up but I'm fine with whatever deadline.

 

[les Habs]

A lot of talent left over this year with having a couple fewer participants than normal. @JackSlater (unable to avoid his inner urge I suspect) and @BruinDust doing the whole private equity thing and raiding some of best talent and saving the 80s WWF reputation respectively.

 

[BruinDust]

Any thoughts on a submission deadline? My card is pretty much ready to go. No rush just wondering.

 

[Megahab]

I will send mine today or tomorrow.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Hello all.

I am hoping to get this thing started next week at some point, and seeing as there are always delays, plus my new work schedule, I was thinking a long deadline of next Friday.

That way the brackets and everything can be ready to go next Saturday and we'll have a weekend to kick off round 1.

It's a long way off but if everyone submits before then, I'll put the matchups up earlier.

Next Friday as in May 19th? I don't think any of us need that much time, do we?

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

You'd be surprised. Whenever a due date is set we end up waiting a number of days after.

If people are feeling optimistic I would propose Monday the 15th. I've had one GM reach out already saying they would need until then already.

 

[JackSlater]

I'll get my card in by whatever deadline. The 15th is fine for me.

 

[BruinDust]

Mines ready to roll. Either day (15th or 19th) is fine.

 

[les Habs]

I should be done before the date, but I appreciate the extra time. I should have it all written soon enough, but I‘m on an iPad at home and formatting is easier on a PC so I’ll have to do it at work.

 

[Megahab]

We are to PM our cards to @HandsomeHollywood right?

 

[Sheppy]

I’ll send my card this afternoon

 

[GKJ]

I’ll definitely take the longest as my creative juices haven’t been firing. Might have to take a different approach.

 

[Megahab]

Can someone confirm if we are supposed to send our card to @HandsomeHollywood ?

I don't remember from the last time I played, if we send it to him or to someone that is not in the draft.

That's the way it's always been. At the very least I will be sending him my card.
