La Parka.

CMLL had a show in Phoenix. Must have been near a decade ago. La Parka was there wrestling as LA Park because someone stole his gimmick. Despite his obviously increased girth he could still tango with a chair like no one's business. There was a Mexican fellow near me with a child on his shoulders. When La Parka came out he turned around to me and said "He got fat."

He has been strangely effective even into his 50s. Also the star of the greatest squash match ever.

I always like seeing Steve Blackman too. I was considering drafting him and having New Jack, his fellow bounty hunter, beat the shit out of him out of offence at his surname. Who says wrestling isn't art?

I'm not sure that you even know what point you are trying to make. I am saying that your random shot at Ted Dibiase sr., apropos of nothing, is odd, particularly when made in comparison to his crappy son. By all means believe it - it's just an odd belief to bring up various times.

For example: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

Two years ago when you made a post that just says: Ted DiBiase's in-ring work was VERY limited. I have to assume that you mean Million Dollar Ted. I believe you've even defended it before, which is certainly better to just saying something an then disappearing. It's the strangeness of contrasting him with jr. in a negative light. I think Million Dollar Ted is solid enough and good at heeling it up... no time for junior though.

I already clarified what I meant.

They were drafted, it obviously wasn‘t random.

I wouldn't say stole. They owned the rights to the gimmick in Mexico. So they gave the gimmick to someone else.

I believe the guy who was given the gimmick passed away due to an injury during a match a few years back.

I also did not expect BruinDust to take Jay Leno, as I had planned to do eventually. The draft offers many surprises.

Funny thing is I had no plans to until the day before, he wasn't even on my board. Then suddenly @Natey grabbed Kaufman a day before I was going to and I had to re-work a match next thing I know I'm drafting Leno and Carey. I like the new match-up better so it worked out well.

You grabbed Gary Hart literally the day before I was about to pick him and forced me to find a replacement in Mr. Fuji. @HandsomeHollywood got Virgil/Vincent about 2 days before I was going to take him.

I wanted Gary Hart since I read his book a few months ago, and then when I got Muta that only made him more necessary. Interesting to know that you were going to take him, as I think that he usually goes undrafted. There have been a few pleasant surprises taken like Gary Albright and Eddie Gilbert.

Jim Barnett was a random person that I needed and didn't have a replacement for, though I think that he's never been drafted. I would have been shocked if someone took him. Leno will just have his part cut. I look forward to seeing what you do with him.

If it makes you feel better I was going to take Brad Armstrong today.

I’m a big fan of Kamala so happy to see him picked. I also am scratching my head as to why I have yet to draft Stevie Richards after 4 years.

Stevie us underrated. I decided I was going to run on bWo or FBI. FBI won the coin flip.

He was never going to be a main eventer but he would have been a good mid card hand but after RTC, he just became a jobber for like 3 or 4 years. I put him at the same level or maybe one tier below Damien Sandow. As in not the greatest worker but decent for the mid card and could talk.

I'm down to 8 guys left, all what I call supporting cast members. I'd be shocked if any of them got picked, if they do so be it. My wrestling matches are set. I'm good with the free-for-all day to end free agency whenever.

CH loves trying to declare new rulings.

I'm a little reluctant to have a free for all day to end this year's free agency. Usually it's clear what people are going for but with the character of those still picking, I feel like we could get some hairyness. I do expect there to be overlap between CH, BruinDust and JackSlater given their tastes, the stage of the draft and who's been being picked.

If those left picking agree to a free for all day that's first come first serve to end it, I'm in favor of it. Could be tomorrow, could be Friday.

CH, please don't go rogue and post a list anyway before it's agreed.

I think that's something that Burkie will need to clarify. There were two guys with basically the same gimmick and they were both billed with different spellings of Kamala/Kimala. For example the guy on cagematch.net under "Giant Kimala" is not the Kamala from WWF.

Sorry for the delay folks, I just started a new job and am also a new father so I got busy. My selection of Giant Kimala is a different and far less famous person than Kamala, however he appeared in AJPW a fair amount and so he made it to my card.
