Wrestling draft 2015 - Page 3 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Well the main reasons for the rule would be

a) to avoid having people pick those guys from a completely different era and saying they would be their top guy. There has been a lot of debate over whether they would be able to translate or not.

b) to make it different from all the other drafts

I think the advantage of getting an early pick is equalled out by the later pickers picking first in the second and third rounds (maybe to the point where they have the advatage in a draft with under 10 people).

Having said that I don't really care too much. Just pick something.

I really don't think it'll be much of an issue. Up to you though.

I think we should do from 80-current. Maybe, I'm alone here but all I do when I get a pre-80's wrestler is speculate what they could do whereas, from 80 on, there's enough media and stats to judge what to do with what guy.

I'm trying to be vague as not to mess up the draft but there's atleast one pre 80s guy that should be included I just don't think it's fair if not everyone has a shot at a top draw (face of a federation)

For the guys who want to cap it how many do you think there are with the cap?

I'd really like to ban the guys from the Stone Age. Anything pre 70s 80s should be disregarded

I assume LKJ has seen the thread. Not sure if disko is in, maybe you could get someone to draft for you while you're away (LKJ?)

Thread has been up almost 24 hours so I say we're good to go soon. We need to sort out the rules though.

It's a holiday weekend. Not in a rush to start. Think shooting to start Tuesday is fine.

I don't mind the idea of the cap but wanna sort it out a bit . Some time in the 70s is better then 80 imho

Im ok with having the cutoff at anywhere between 1970-1980. I think any earlier and you might as well just open it up to all. Any later and you are really narrowing the field

I still think 1980 is the most logical choice but whatever.

Meh alright, feels like it's been done to death by now but what the hell.

Spoiler:

1980 and later would be my vote. Also would vote for drafting the tag team wrestlers individually. Will roll with whatever people decide though.

I'm not sure what we're looking at when it comes to this cutoff.

Wrestler X is active from 1975 through 1985. Are we only getting his work from 1980 through 1985, or is his whole career eligible by virtue of the fact that he was wrestling into the 80s?

I was suggesting the former. There's probably not much point in having a cutoff otherwise as loads of old wrestlers carry on going way past their prime.

You guys wanna do an 8 man?
I feel better about the 1980 cut off that way.

Lkj: you wanna help disko while
He's away?

Oh ****, I PM Judy saying I'll compromise by going to 1975 and he simultaneously posts that he's now ok with 1980.

My only issue with 1975 was the extra few top of card guys. But us having an 8 man helps that.

So we need to decide the tag team . Potential and backstage issues.

Normal snake or wanna let the backend go first a couple extra times?
