June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679314 Also Toru Tanaka is a phenomenal pick at this point. Not sure how I missed him, figured he'd alread retired and moved to Hollywood to be an actor.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679332 On the big stage he was retired....he was mainly working California indies.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679350 Someone told me to take Tanaka as a Saito partner. Too old for Texas brawling though.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679369 Anybody up for some more youtube scouring for diamonds in the rough? I'm trying to scout non-Vancouver Canadian guys right now. As far as my booking style all that stuff was a lie. I am just looking at wrestling tropes and trying to see how I can jam in every single one of them as quickly as possible.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679398 I got Flyin Brian's pick via proxy last night but I still see him active as of 10 minutes ago so I will wait an hour or so just in case he changed his mind.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679400 I want to like Tapu & Tio. I loved their gimmick in 1986 Continental as the New Guinea Headhunters and thought they were booked really well for that stint. But they are just so..I don't know the word for it. Lackluster. They just don't feel intense enough to play wild Samoans although to be fair that was not what their gimmick was ever supposed to be when they were, legitimately, the first Samoan brothers tag team.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679403 So despite my best efforts to hype them up, although my Samoans might have been the first to use the name they are also probably the least known Samoans. And the Great Tio is my tv champion, but we'll be fixing that real quick.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679405 They are the laid back Samoans lol the New Guinea headhunters are interesting and something in my back pocket for later if I repackage them. They never won a title in ICW but were champs in Southwest in 85.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679406 Yes, we talked about their run as The Maoris there and if I could scrub it from my memory I would do so. Tio & Tapu were the guys who were working as savage Maoris yet wrestling their squash match wearing wrestling boots while one of the white bread babyface opponents was wrestling bare foot.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679408 The ICW Public Access champion. Can't wait until we do the co promotion with Wayne's World on Cable 10 Community Access Channel in Aurora
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679410 Just want to say, I think the AWA currently has one of the most ethnically diverse rosters in North America right now. You can be black, white, Asian, Samoan, Arab, Polish, orange, Commie or Masked, there is a place for you in Minnesota!
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679418 I saw Buddy Rose have a very competent match with Frank Dusek once. I strongly suspected it was all Buddy. He is a pretty good authority figure in late 80s WCCW though.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679420 Frank Dusek was on my list of possibilities. From what I've seen he's a solid promo who can speak Spanish.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679421 He IS a good promo and I did not know about him speaking Spanish. That would have upped his value for me actually but I wouldn't have been able to get to him before Jesse.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679427 Tried to beat the drum on ol' Duke Myers to somebody last night. He is a good hand. Was very close to becoming Assassin #2 but Mike Davis had more upside after he loses the mask.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679438 I had tried to bribe goc into taking him with his second pick. You wouldn't think he of all people would have scruples
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679442 Yeah I probably would've gone for Duke Myers if I hadn't been pressured into making a fast pick by the same person who name dropped Myers...
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679449 No you said Hito and never said you were gonna go with Myers don't blame me. A decision is made in an instant not over hours. If it was a conspiracy to trick you out of Myers why would I ever say his name in the first place.
June 21, 201510 yr comment_5679456 I will take proxy picks from anyone who is worried about their time expiring while they are sleeping tonight. Likely candidates to experience this: JVK (I have his pick) JHawk, Boon (I will be drafting for Boon the rest of the way), dawho5, and Cross Face Chicken Wing Also, if you see Boon's name, Wahoos name or my name ahead of yours going into an overnight period: make a proxy or you'll wake up to being passed over as I am going to put picks in ASAP to keep the clock moving.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_5679474 We need a new rule that once you go over the time limit so many times, say twice then you don't even get 5 hours any more. You can make a proxy list or you just make your picks when you show up.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_5679485 This is the current order after Jesse JerryvonKramer - Goes on the clock at 11:30 EST if Jesse's time expires. I will make his pick very close to that time. Dylan Waco - Dylan will most likely make his pick within 30 mins of that. JHawk: - JHawk will either be up to put his pick in or give me a proxy Boon: I have Boon's picks to put in as proxy for the rest of the draft. Boon is gone. dawho5: That means dawho most likely goes on the clock between 12AM-1AM Cross Face Chicken Wing: goc:
June 22, 201510 yr comment_5679494 That's good, still struggle to figure out why people would rather use up the majority of their clock time rather than use a proxy though.
