Doesn't have my Buddy Roberts pick.

Wanted Billy Jack as a heavyweight face challenger. Not the best wrestler, but I thought he would fill the role. Back to the drawing board.

You're ahead of me next round which scares me because we may be thinking of the same person. Hopefully not. I would bet not. At this point our needs are different I would guess That's what I was hoping.

My Vachon pick was between him and LeDuc. Watched some promos, was more impressed with Vachon, but I could have gone either way.

I knew he was never picked, but I never wanted to grab him before guys like Guerrero, Rogers, and Vachon. So this worked out perfectly. I'd been planning on drafting him since my last pick. Thought WCCW might take him, but man I lucked out.

Freebirds have been reunited. Can't believe I was able to still grab him.

Can't believe I was able to grab him in the 9th round after leaving him in the 1st. JCP selects Buddy F'n Roberts!

Jim Crockett is open to the idea of Bret Hart perhaps being champion in 3-4 years, but doesn't necessarily see him as a franchise at the moment. Needs to work on his mic skills and develop more of a big match feel. Maybe gain some weight and lose that junior heavyweight feel. Crockett would also like to remind the board that Ric Flair is primed and ready to again take the reins of the NWA World Title and put on classic matches with everyone all over North America. Maybe even pull a couple of classics out of Stu's boy to get him ready down the line.

Andre vs Terry Gordy doesn't sound that bad...

Good pick Rocket, he was on my radar earlier as a backup that I didn't need to use. May have tried to get him down the line.

I'll take Christmas then, 12/25.

Hercules may not have been my next pick, but that still stings.

Tully is the magic word there. No concrete plans yet, but we'll talk down the line.

I do not know if that is a backhanded compliment Southwest was not very good except a couple bright spots here and there. Felt like an easy "I could do better than THAT!" territory. Plus it has Tully & it's Texas. Not intentionally. Basically everyone on there, but Saito and DVE were high on my list. I didn't even bother ranking Gilbert which in hindsight was a mistake. However, I probably wouldn't have even considered taking him until around this point. Since you're going to be rotating guys in and out relatively quickly, we could be talking about exchanges sometime down the line.

I think I know who this is too. I think he's getting hurt by hindsight if it's same guy. Please don't let this be the same guy I'm think of. Edit - I pick before both of you so if he gets taken it won't be you I get frustrated at.

Awesome, thanks for the appreciation. And we can obviously say that your roster is better than anything Southwest would have been able to put on at the time so good going there.

Waiting for Joe Blanchard to show up to an NWA meeting with a nose still carrying a tinge of brown on it that he forgot to wipe off.

I filled my roster with people I thought would make interesting matchups with Flair as a starter, but covering a wide variety of styles. Personally, I'd love to watch a show in 1983 filled with my roster so far.

I think if you don't believe you're "winning" the draft, you may as well drop out. Every time I look at my roster, I give myself an imaginary high five. I am dreading the next few rounds though. Not a lot of wiggle room anymore as we all run for the same guys.

Dylan is up Boon on deck

Never been on the list.

I'd say allowable, but you forfeit your next round pick.
