He was on the Central States roster and is now on the draft list.

Perfect

I forget, did we use current calendar or the year we are booking calendar?

The year we are booking. My Friday shows go out on the Friday of 1985 (well, when they are on time).

I forget, did we use current calendar or the year we are booking calendar?

I use the year of for calendar. It is two days off the current 2017 calendar. I don't think anyone is too worried about posting on the exact dates outside of maybe a bigger show like starrcade or mania.

A couple of notes to go by...

 

1. Awesome draft and way to get it finished so quickly!

 

2. All individuals drafted will not be eligible to start until January 1st. Some say "why do we do this so early?" Well now you have around 20 days to plan and put pieces together in order to make your adjustments for your rosters.

 

3. PLEASE KEEP AN UPDATED ROSTER AVAILABLE. There is going to be a lot of movement over the next 3 weeks... trades, drafts, free agency... it is a nightmare to try and keep everything up to date... it helps if you keep an up to date version of your roster available. Please post it on the Roster Database or PM me and I will get it updated.

 

3b. I am going to go in and take out the defunct promotions this evening and get things updated. Please send me or post rosters at your earliest convenience to reflect where you are at now and then come January we'll make moves again.

 

4. Free Agency... if Kevin still wants to be in charge of this, I would appreciate it. If not someone else could pick it up or I could do it. But what I think is going to happen is that all the guys who were on defunct rosters will go straight to free agency and be able to be picked up tomorrow starting at 8 am central US time. The rookies/fresh faces will go into free agency starting on January 1st. (REMEMBER THAT THE CURRENT CAP IS 49 and will jump to 50 on January 1st) Be sure to be mindful of your roster and post moves where they belong to get to your cap.

 

5. Freelancers... right now it is Brody, Hansen, Abdullah, & Mascaras... anyone else that should be on this list? Edgar, are you still up for handling the freelancers?

 

I think that is it for right now... amazing draft... great year... we are about to embark on a very interesting 1986 with some real powerhouse promotions all over and talent to boot. Let me know if you have questions as we get going.

Yes, I'll take care of the freelancers for 1986.

 

I'm also wondering if we should have a booking thread for the NWA World Champion & World Tag Team Champs like we used to. I was under the thought that despite not being affiliated with the NWA, other territories (aka you, rain & Kevin as well as if other territories join throughout the year) would join.

 

I'll also keep tabs with the minis & the women as well.

I think that if you guys want to book the NWA champion in that way with MACW, Lutte, World Class, & PR... I'd love to see it work. Meet amongst yourselves and hammer it out... let me know if you'd like some help.

Awesome. I'll keep you posted on that.

Got a chance to read through everything today. You guys are all doing great work. Looking forward to what we come out swinging with here with the Holidays and then the new year.

 

For January 1st... there are going to be all the rookie free agents available.

 

To make things easy... you can only pick one person every 24 hours. This way someone can't come in and pick everyone.

 

So say I want someone... January 1st is on a Monday. At 8am on Monday, I am going to drop someone and pick someone up. Then I can do it again until the next day. But I can only pick one person at a time... even if I am going to use them for a pack.

 

Read this through once or twice or three times and make sure we're on the same page so everyone can still get some of the free agents and continue to build rosters.

So to pick a rookie free agent, we need to drop someone of our roster automatically? (Just making sure I'm understanding correctly)

No... the drop is if you are at or over the limit. If you have the space, you can pick someone up without a problem. Still... only one person per day.

Oh, OK then, no problem.

Just curious, for how long will it be under a one free agent per day restriction? One week? One month? Not really planning on grabbing anyone from free agency, have a lot of new talent to integrate as it is, just wondering.

I'd think that a week would do the trick to let everyone have a chance.

Ooch, can't believe I missed this in time for the draft. Gorgeous Gary Young made his return to wrestling in 1986. Not looking to use him myself, but I think he should be available for free agency come January 1st.

Better late than never!

Giving you the heads-up as spaldoni and I are putting the finishing touches to Starrcade and it should be online some time tomorrow!

Going to be going out of town for the holidays in the morning but wanted to take a moment to tell you guys Merry Christmas and how much I enjoy being a part of this project! Thanks for having me and I look forward to us all carrying this on for years to come! Happy Holidays guys!!

Same to you Gene! I feel the same way. Everybody has been so helpful and I'm so glad to be a part of this. Happy Holidays everybody and looking forward to working with all of you in the new year!

Happy Holidays to all! Hope you get what you want.

Yes, Happy Holidays to all. It is great to work with each and every one of you.

Happy Holidays to everyone in the Project! Spend some quality time with your loved ones and here's to a great....1986!

A very happy holidays to all you guys. Awesome to think we have made it this far with some bumps and bruises but a lot of hard work. I appreciate all the effort going in to what you are putting together. Starrcade is a prime example of how this can still be a group effort and be a great showcase of talent and story building. Awesome job to everyone involved. 1986 has some big happenings and I think we have all got a great battle plan to hit it head on.

Has anyone kept track of where Larry Zbyszko ends up on January 1st? I usually am able to keep track of that stuff but after rain approached me about a trade yesterday, I can't even remember where he ends up at the start of the New Year.
