Would anybody be interested in doing a wrestling draft? It's a simple game - each round you pick a wrestler with the idea of booking a "supercard" at the end of the game. Some rounds would have a few gimmick's thrown in to make it a little more challenging (ie; the wrestler you'd have to pick would be a former United States Champion, or a diva, or someone born in Asia).
You would then post your cards and the APW faithful would vote on the winner.
It's been done over on EFK a couple of times and been a blast. Any interest here?
Interested:
1. Speede
2. Jeff
3. Sally
4. Yarmouth
5. JamesV
6. Rebel
7. Hart
8. Krunk
9. Kash
10. Biggs
11. C.J
12. Buckson Gooch
13. Level-One

If I understand it correctly, it's going to be like a fantasy wrestling booker sort of game- draft your rosters, make your cards, and try to put on the best shows... One question, Rebel... Will we actually be writing these shows, or just doing an outline sort of thing like "Kurt Angle def. Kane by pin after the Angle Slam. The Miz def. Dolph Ziggler by DQ. Ziggler then called out World Champ Jeff Hardy, demanding a match. He was refused, with Hardy saying he needed to prove he was worthy. Backstage segment featuring a frustrated Kane attacking Evan Bourne. Main Event James Storm vs World Champ Jeff Hardy ended in a no contest following interference from Dolph Ziggler. Hardy was left out-cold, and the show went to black with Storm and Ziggler standing strong in the ring." |

I was in two in Underground X, the first one was okay. The second one never got started because everyone was having a bitch-fit about how in the previous one, there was a stipulation that the winner would get first pick in the next one and because new people joined and weren't able to play in the first one felt disadvantaged. The third one after that suffered a similar fate when people started in-fighting. Then in IPW, there was one which died on its ass and nobody posted a card because two dudes had a twenty page argument over who was stupiderer than the other. Eventually the admin deleted it. People start fights in these things. |

An example of the draft I just had on EFK, and the card that was booked after: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Andre the Giant The Ultimate Warrior vs. Sting The Powers of Pain (Warlord and Barbarian) vs. The Steiner Brothers Hayabusa vs. Dean Malenko They were posted and EFK members were allowed to vote on who's card was better (based on whatever critera you want: something you haven't seen before, legendary matches, different styles, etc...) It's very simple, requires only a little bit of time, and there isn't a lot of drama to be had here. It's just for fun. |

Honestly, I'd love to do something like this, but on the scale I suggested as well, like actually designing the results of a card and having a couple months building up to a "Big PPV" and seeing who can do the best shows up through like three months worth of weekly shows. Either way, I'm still in on what you're doing. |

I say we create something like that, bro. The question remains, would we want to set it up with people being able to write the same wrestlers in the storyline (like each person being able to use AJ Styles or Dolph Ziggler if they so desired), or would we do it two or three people competing against one another with 20-man rosters that went in a draft format with no repeat wrestlers, trades, etc. allowed? |

I think we could variate. Or have "different continuities", some for real wrestlers, some for fictional etc. Also, Mets, the idea me and Speede are discussing isn't what Rebel is doing. Rebel is doing a draft and then a one off show. |

James - that's not what we'll be doing here with this draft. If somebody wants to continue with what Speede/Callahan are discussing afterwards, then more power to them, and I'm all for it!
However, I'm posing a basic draft with a supercard at the end.

I'm interested but would rather watch this one and play the next to better understand it. I am always playing these games almost in the dark. So now I'll watch, pay attention and jump on the next.

Tell you what then, count me in. I don't want to draft though. I want to build my roster from left-overs after everyone else has picked theirs.
Left-Over Championship Wrestling, where bad wrestlers go to have good matches.
