I debated it this year but ultimately found it too restrictive. Wanted to be able to go a different direction.
HF Wrestling Draft 2018 - Discussion Thread #2
- Thread starter GKJ
- Start date
I submitted my card this morning.
Now last year was my first year in the draft and I came I last place. I was fine by that as I had pretty limited knowledge. Just from what I remembered growing up (born in 1983).
This past year I have gotten into wrestling a bit more and my card is significantly better. I am proud of this years card. I still lack a lot of knowledge of the Japanese guys and the indies guys but my card is actually something I legit would like to watch.

Your roster is one that I’ve kept my eye on the most. There’s, like, three matches I suspect that you will do that will be jaw-dropping.

I've paid little attention to anyone's whole roster, but I do take note of who drafts only modern guys, who is heavily into Japanese wrestlers, who watched WCW, what is quipourquoi doing, who likes old school etc. Mostly so that I can get a sense of when wrestlers I want might go. I will probably like the cards that most present what I like, but there is room for creativity to sink or elevate a card.
I do somewhat, but ultimately it is too difficult. I view mine like a territory with random acts coming and going over time. I will be bringing back a tag team that I created two years ago though, and their history will be noted.
I also have a list of JackSlater guys somewhere that I can pull out when I need something. For instance I decided to expand a match and take WALTER, but he was picked shortly before I planned to take him. I subbed in Gary Albright, confident that I enjoy him and that no one else was planning to take him.

I have typed my card up , I'm mostly old school as well . Trying to add some new stuff , but it's hard , my ideas are mostly for old guys. I love my card , but think I need to shorten it ……
There is lot's of creativity in mine , just see if that elevates it or sinks it .... could go either way lol Hopefully there are some voters with a warped sense of humor

Motorhead is the best part of my card, hahahah.
I've seen Motorhead probably 6 times. They're insane.

Sheppy is going to dump his card and make a music festival card with all bands who have played at wrestling venues. A co headliner of Pitbull and Motorhead

Best part of anyone's card. Theyband Pantera are the 2 bands that I grew up on and will kill me for never having been lucky to have seen. The chances I did have always had sone bull shit come up.

Yeah, I was thinking of drafting more guys and really making an expansive card, but I think my card as it stands is really strong and really clean.
I'll have to see what is out there before reserving judgement, but I think there will be gulfs. Some don't seem happy with their own cards as is.
I would think random would make the most sense.
Anyone else come up with new/original gimmicks for any of their guys? I have for two of mine, well technically a three of them. Also I've come up with an original faction.
This being my first card, no. Still if I had the same group of guys next year I could come up with about as many new matches, so a full card,, without drafting anyone new. Of course of late I've been struck with a bit of an @quoipourquoi bug and have a crazy card in my head which could mean no "previously on..." for you.

I combined two wrestlers to make a tag team. ‘The Perfect Storm’ Tye Dillinger and Hurricane Helms.

Sorry for the billion messages to Cutter, it was a process figuring out how to best format the card and send it via PM.

KEEP ON ROLLINNNN BABYSorry Sheppy but I am guessing a KISS and Limp Bizkit concert at your card makes me voting for you as an automatic no, that sounds like a terrible time.
I usually vote by looking at two cards and if they were the same night which one I would pick going to.
But yeah, I'm not a fan of either of those bands, honestly. I just wanted a mix in there.

I like doing original gimmicks or factions. I definitely have a new faction or two, one of which is somewhat inspired by Smoky Mountain Wrestling of all places. Nothing too far out there in terms of gimmicks though, which disappointed me really as I thought that I would be more active on that front. For fun I am attempting to put Reigns right though by putting him in what I view as basically the ideal situation for him.
I am also planning to have my card in by Sunday night. I knew what I wanted for each of the wrestlers by the time I picked them so it shouldn't be too difficult. Additionally, I too like my own card. In fact I am certain that I like my own card better than anyone else's. That is as it should be.
