November 12, 20177 yr Author comment_5819809 I was trying to convince LowBlow on pm that Japan would be the best landing place for Andre (because nostalgia goes a long way over here and fans would be inclined to overlook his decrepitude...) ...but even I have to admit that the moon wold be better. Also, I am bummed that everyone no-sold my Terry Funk vs Shinya Hashimoto question back on page 11. Is it going to be a Japanese death match? I always enjoyed those RF videos with the scorpions and cactus'
November 12, 20177 yr Author comment_5819814 I remember buying 3 RF videos... a best of the deathmatch video... the 1995 king of the death match... and a best of ECW that had the heatwave six-man cage with Sandman vs Raven that had the music from Gordy and Dreamer playing the whole time. You can find that match, but you can't find it with the real music playing which sucks.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819817 Koloff 1992 was going to be my 5th round pick before I decided to shoot for The Rockers. I'm actually pleasantly surprised someone else thought him worthy to go this soon. Now just waiting to make sure JoeG doesn't take the guy I have slotted next. Someone I have a hard time fathoming lasting this long.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819819 We are still in the top 100 picks, so it's not that amazing that there are still some great wrestlers left on the board, particularly given the time frame we are working with.

Someone I have a hard time fathoming lasting this long. Your pick is safe because joeg is almost certainly picking the guy I have slotted next. Unless we all have the same guy.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819829 Joeg is now my sworn draft enemy. You have all been robbed of hypothetical shoot style Steiners vs Hashimikov/Zangiev.
November 12, 20177 yr Author comment_5819831 I don't know the guys so as long as there is no protest... I am fine with them together.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819834 I kept hoping someone would go for the twin towers. It had to be hard to figure out whether to go with fat super-drawing Hogan opponent Bossman or prominent #3 babyface on the roster Bossman
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819837 I almost did do Towers. Went back and forth from singles to tag. Switched at last moment. I prefer 1991 though.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819838 I don't know the guys so as long as there is no protest... I am fine with them together. No protest from me. They should be together. Amazing pick.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819839 Also, Beast, in retrospect, it's interesting you went Sid instead of Taker. I'm looking forward to Taker as a monster in PR.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819840 Sorry Lee, then I'm playing my draft cards tight to the vest No worries. We're doing some similar stuff. I should've worked from the top of the card down instead of trying to game "who's most famous/popular/likely to get picked," which never actually works out.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819845 Honestly, didn't even remember Taker until he was picked. Rockers weren't in my immediate plans, but I couldn't believe they were still there. Sting, Warrior, & Sid were all guys I had high on my kayfabe-inspired list assuming they would be gone quick so I had to snatch them up to cement the Main Event scene.

It had to be hard to figure out whether to go with fat super-drawing Hogan opponent Bossman or prominent #3 babyface on the roster Bossman Debated Twin Towers in my head sooo much, but didn't know if I wanted them as a team or solo. Waited too long.
November 12, 20177 yr Author comment_5819872 And to be clear... we will do 12 hours until round 10... starting with round 11... it will be 6 rounds. Now I know that will be quicker and harder to track, but just RELAX and try and keep up with the picks. I will do my best to keep the page updated with picks and we should theoretically be able to get done here in the next week. Please send proxy lists if possible so that we can keep things going.
November 12, 20177 yr comment_5819876 Sorry for jumping the gun. Got confused on time limits. Question - for double picks, is that just one window to make two picks, or two?
