July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686174 I don't like that system because it doesn't give everyone the same opportunity at picking up new talent. The pairings favor certain territories. We're paired up with WWF and I don't see Parv flaking on this. We could switch to another close territory in Florida and it'd be the same thing with Rocket. Same with anyone paired up with MACW. We didn't go into this with the idea of "partner" territories and that's going to cost us the opportunity at big name guys.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686244 I still like the idea that the sister territory takes over and then the leftover guys get dispersed in the next monthly draft. I like this method too. It's not like there would a "fair" dispersal of talent if a promotion were to actually go out of business. If guys wanted to stay around that area they'd go to the next closest territory. Besides, you can only get "lucky" once.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686254 Looking at it that way, I don't see Barry Windham (for example) learning that Portland is closing and deciding that "Oh well, I'll just go up to Canada since it's so close" rather than go back to Florida or the Carolinas. Maybe the sister territory can get automatic first draft choice, but otherwise it's just silly. The bigger territories (WWF, AWA, GCW, etc...) would grab hot names immediately were they to become available.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686257 Nobody had a problem with the idea when I proposed this just a few days ago.... http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31443-crazy-idea-hear-it-out/page-2 In my mind, this makes it intriguing to let little territories become stronger territories and you never know when real life is going to hit us up like it did Dylan and knock us out of the loop. You just never know. Some people get lucky, others have to hold out a little longer.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686258 The delay in any sort of movement just allowed me more time to consider the option. I'm not going to fight it if we go that way, but I'd rather have all dissolved territory wrestlers in a draft.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686262 I need some new heels, so whatever helps get me that is the best result.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686263 Maybe we should just put it to a vote (on a timeline so we aren't waiting forever for 1 or 2 people)
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686268 Christ, votes take forever too. I think this is one of those times where Wahoo's Leg got lucky that Dylan quit and people should just be happy for him.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686271 That's why I said timeline. 3-4 days tops. But I don't really care, I think it's more interesting to have a takeover. There's STILL a draft afterwards it's not like they take the whole 20+ man roster.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_5686275 How about a 1-2 day vote? And if votes take forever, are more people up for a draft that starts in late October than those who just want to release a few guys and draft some new JTTS types? I think we have to look at this realistically and figure the procedure out for when somebody leaves right now. I think we should be trying to get these kinds of things taken care of as they come up and get a set rule for them as quickly as possible.
July 21, 201510 yr comment_5686487 Im be very open about the fact i want Scott Armstrong from the September debuts, and where things are going in Southeastern he's pretty essential, so would like to know where we stand with this asap.
July 21, 201510 yr comment_5686497 Portland draft looks to be happening, but is separate. One more time, I'm proposing that with these debuts every month, we'll make a random draft order. When your turn comes you have the option of drafting, but if there's no one you want you pass and keep your spot for next month. If you do draft, you go to the back of the line. Johnny Valiant Steve Muslin (Travis) John Tolos Kurt Von Hess Thunderbolt Patterson Bull Brannigan Dusty Woods Mark Savage So Boon, if you get an early spot, you'd want to wait it out until September. Does that work for everyone?
July 21, 201510 yr comment_5686499 Works for me. Either way we really need to go ahead and establish what we're gonna do for these.
July 25, 201510 yr comment_5687250 Once the Portland draft is over, can we begin this? Random draft order done by Will or someone else not running a N.A. territory. Available are Johnny Valiant Steve Muslin (Travis) John Tolos Kurt Von Hess Thunderbolt Patterson Bull Brannigan Dusty Woods Mark Savage When your turn to draft is up, you can choose to use your pick on one of these guys are save it for another month. If you use your pick, you go to the back of the line. Then so on and so on. If we reach the end of the drafting order and there are guys still left, I suppose we can snake back through the people at the end who've drafted and give them the option to draft more guys, with the caveat of losing a spot in the next month's draft pending how many guys they grab. September's draft would begin with guys who passed their August pick on and that would continue for October, November, etc... I think guys SHOULDN'T have to be drafted and that they just stay in the pot for next month in case anyone changes their minds.
July 25, 201510 yr comment_5687252 I can already tell you I'm passing on this. Only use I could get out of most of these guys is 3 weeks with Lord Alfred.
July 25, 201510 yr comment_5687253 Thanks Kris for making these lists, here are the next few months of eligible guys...

July 25, 201510 yr comment_5687320 Made it very clear who I'm after so I'll pass on August and hold out for Scott Armstrong...
July 25, 201510 yr comment_5687443 When did Precious make her first appearance? Would she be a part of this draft? She is the one person i am interested in at this point.
July 26, 201510 yr comment_5687540 Will, you forgot Wahoo's Leg. Gotta do it again. I know it's random, but maybe this time the board of directors won't end up on the bottom for the 2nd straight draft.
