Wrestling All-Time Draft III - Discussion Thread Two

[The Gongshow]

There's a few people I followed, just because they took the guys I wanted, still interested to see everyones cards. A few big matches out there that are sure to impress

For my first draft I think I did alright, was definitely fun and stressful

 

[nameless1]

Yeah...
I learned that one has to plan these things...
Or one could fall into a trap...
And try to do way too much.


Luckily...
There is an unlimited free agency.
Otherwise...
I would have been screwed...
Because not counting the announcers...
Referees...
And other non-wrestling personnels...
I needed 33 more wrestlers...
And 1 match type...
On top of the initial 20 picks.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Personally, I wouldn't waste picks on refereers or announcers. It would take a very even card for me to split the vote on announcers.

Yeah for me personally as a voter that isn't going to do anything for me. I guess the exception would be an interesting guest referee that added to the match. But when I'm looking at the cards, I'm going to be looking at the matches, commentators and announcers I will just gloss over.

I took Mauro and Corey Graves to give the card a modern feel. I have a bunch of old timers and Japan guys and felt Mauro would give it some gravitas since he called New Japan for AXS for a while.

I know some here wish for those two to be the actual PPV team. I concur with that assessment too.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It wasn't easy. So many plans fall away that it becomes difficult to make up for what is left.

 

[Voight]

Sent my card in. Sorry all, busy week at work and this weekend has been non-stop for me. Haven't even managed a solid hour on the computer.

 

[les Habs]

Looking forward to seeing what you guys put together.

Hindsight is 20/20, but even if I had one of the later first round picks I think I could have put together a great card that would have not included some of my all time favorites but also have some interesting storylines. That said I still would have been annoyed at missing out on plenty of other guys as a result of a twenty person draft.

I picked an announce team just for fun. Hopefully people know who Gordon Solie is but some people regard him as the best wrestling PbP guy of all time. That's high praise.

When I researched for my announcement team...
He was always one of the first names that pop out...
As the inaugural...
And only...
Winner of PWI's Announcer of the Year...
Back in 1977.
Apparently...
Even the great Jim Ross sees him as a mentor of sorts...
As he was a big influence on Ross' own style.

And learned a lot from him.

I think having him paired with Joel Gertner is hilarious. It's such two different time periods.

 

[Morozov]

So when do we see the bracket?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Will post them now since we're only missing Omni.

 

[ColePens]

CC - is there an official draw? I want to see how the draw all works out. Or is it random each round?

 

[Shoalzie]

How would a bracket work for a 20-competitor field? Who gets the byes? Maybe reward the cards that get the most votes?

Biggest margin of victory? Or just random bye draws I suppose.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

We'll do biggest margin of victory plus Morozov if he wins since he's the champ.

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

I am a victim of this system.

 

[ColePens]

I'm guessing my pending opponent is Omni/Crimson?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Yes.

 

[ColePens]

One HUGE difference from last year - people are really creative with their cards. Some fantastic booked cards.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Not enough bears.

 

[nameless1]

How long does the voting last?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

5 days

BTW, thanks to those who didn't put a bunch of bold and underlines for their cards


It took me an hour to replicate all the cards SMH
